IN NEW LIGHT
CHINESE FOODS AND WAYS China, commonly regarded as an unenlightened country, played football about 5000 years ago, and the game had disappeared from its national life about 1600 A.D., having been put aside for a new one called polo, Professor A. H. Charieris told an audience of business girls in Sydney recently. "So, don't imagine that polo was invented at Goulburn by four brothers named Ashton," he remarked. "And don't look down on the Chinese for using no knives and forks. They had them, but gave them up about 5000 years ago, in favour of chop sticks, when they begin to food in manageable quantities," said the professor. The Chinese regarded the serving of food as a fine art and had an amazing variety of methods m cooking food. "They have 10,000 soups and all of them good, 150 vegetables and 600 ways of cooking fish. They use 60 different ways of bteaming fish, and all, as th 6 Chinese cook remarked, with the same steam."
