TOKIO CONSIDERS LICENSING COOKS Tokio. —(UP) —Amazed at some of the fantastic dishes which Tokio cases set before their patrons under the heading of "foreign foods” the Japanese capital's police are considering a plan to license the city’s 20,000 cooks. "Our lives to a large extent are entrusted to our cooks,” an official of the police food department said, indicating that a police survey has proved that many of the cooks of foreign style food in cases can't tell ‘a filet mignon from a rump steak, or a truffle from a mushroom. Hundreds of “foreign food” restaurants have sprung up in Tokio since the gfeat earthquake and the demand for cooks with a knowledge of European or American cooking has been enormous. The result has been that every scullery boy with even a smattering of information about how to fry ham and eggs or flop a flapjack haa launched himself as an ex- , pert foreign style cook. The dishes these amateurs turn out are amazing in their variety and inedibility. Police found pies with crusts like motor tires, salads composed of impossible mixtures of left-overs and desserts composed of little but chemical dyes and glue. The flesult, case patrons hope, will , be a careful licensing and examin- | ation system which will lead to better food for Tokio’s toiling millions. • o Rainfall Forecast For Next Washington.

Stokes, (UP Staff Correspondent) Washington, (United Press) American home-builders are paying more attention to interior decoration than to construction of their houses, resulting in shoddy structures, inconvenience and financial loss, according to Azel H. Oxholm, director of the national committee on wood utilization ot the commerce department and an expert on construction. hi addition to general negligence and ignorance on the part of the average home-builder, there are many incompetent contractors to make the situation worse, he said, in an interview with the United Press. “Many buildeM,” Oxholm said, “do not know their business. Sometimes their work is detective because of the rush to finish.” "The average home owner frequently pays scant attention to important fundamental construction details of ten covered in the completed house behind plaster ami wall paper. He judges only by what be sees. He learn about construction so that lie knows what is behind the plaster and wall paper. “Many builders themselves don't know how to frame houses so as tc guard against defects. Negligence results in cracked plaster, squeak.' floors, sagging of frame work, stick ing doors and other symptoms of defective construction. "It seems that in far too manj .cases more attention is given to thi icolor of the wall paper and other de tails of minor importance.” Oxholm says that the remedy is for the home builder to learn about construction and to insist that the builder follow the plans us drawn by com petent architects. Otherwise, his home will cost him far more than Its initial building cost, besides the inconvenience caused by failure ot defective parts. o New Sultan Os Morroco Is Only 14 Years Old But Is Already Married Fez, Morocco, Nov. 19—(INS)—Although only 14 years old, Mulal Mohammed. the new Sultan of Morocco, is already married.
