Women Help in Smashing Dope Trade

Quick to Fight When Evil Finds Entrance to Homes. BY HELEN WELSHIMER ■lnn Npfrlnl Writer ’IT7HEN the morale of children i& " threatened no woman with half an ounce of red blood in her veins has any right to think that Vice overthrow ten t a woman's job. And she won't! She will fight for her young with all the ferocity of a jungle tigress—a fact that the

leaders of the narcotic gang forgot when they distributed their free samples to high school children in Cleveland. The forces of unr i ghteousness, which are quite as actively at work among the children in the East, West and South, were over thrown last week through the

aid of women. Mothers who had been inclined to treat crime as an impersonal monster that walked down the dark streets, and dope as a mysterious drug that belonged in flophouses, took up arms when they discovered that vice had a family entrance into their homes. They assisted Federal agents in uncovering the diabolic plot to victimize children. Undoubtedly similar situations may exist in New York, San Francisco and the hundreds of cities that connect the two coasts. Instead of waiting until Mary or John drops into a dreamful sleep, fathers and mothers should set out to make the streets safe for school-going children. An attack on the home always makes men and women prepare for combat. The crime attack, which j is now centering on children, has ! awakened the social consciousness j of mothers. If crime is to be conquered premanently it must be through a personal agency. There is a danger that we may j tarry too long, refusing* to believe ! that our own hearths are threat- j ened. insisting in our belief that our children are immune to evil. Youth is always ready for new j experiences. And it hasn't learned to refuse a dare gracefully. The j youngsters who took she stuff just to see what might happen aren't to blame half so much as the parents who waited until the narcotic ring invaded their families before getting busy. From the beginning of time it has been man’s accorded duty to slay dragons, fight giants, protect the , frontiers of his country and his j home. Even when.woman entered the industrial world the status was not changed. But she has proved her willingness and her efficiency in aiding him. Laurel wreaths of the brightest green are due Mary D. Bailey, assistant to Chicago’s United States district attorney, and Mrs. Elizabeth Bass, narcotic director of three states, who are largely responsible for the work of smashing Chicago's dope ring. When women are aroused they are fearless. Criminals, get- j ting by when only men harass them, !

realize that the danger is doubled when women war on them. For a long time we have believed that we had rid ourselves of outside menaces to the happiness, health and peace of youth. We have been concentrating on how to keep Mary from being a wallflower at high school parties and how to bring up Peter’s I. Q. Os course, they are important. But the high school orchestra can't play harmonious tunes while invaders wait in the streets that border the schoolhouse any more than Nero could keep from fiddling while Rome ourned. There are signs everywhere throughout the country, "Danger— School Ahead.” The traffic association which erected them didn't know how grave is the peril which threatens the children it would pro-

tect. True, we should take every action to avoid the casualties from careless driving. But the ominous, stealthly, slinking tread of the bearers of dope holds more potent danger than the racing motor cars. If parents fail in their social duties —and, fortunately, human history shows us that they won’t—childhood is helpless. The present danger comes in the fact that parents may too long remain in ignorance of the prevalence of the dream packets. Social consciousness, awakened through this atrocious yet most unwise stroke of the generous dope bearers, could end the drug evil. But let’s begin to concentrate on home activities—and take time off tc go through children's pockets.

Proper Way to Prepare Rice Shown

Grain Should Receive Many Thorough Washings in Fresh Waters. BY MARY E. DAGUE NEA Service Staff Writer The way a home-maker cooks rice is one of my tests of whether or not she knows her job. That sticky, shapeless mess that some women bring to their tables is my pet abomination. It's completely unnecessary, too. The mistakes begin with the washing or lack of it. Coated rice should be rubbed between the palms of the hands and washed through many waters. Finally, rinse well under running water when the last washing water is clear. Unpolished and uncoated rice can be washed by putting the grains in a strainer and holding under running water. A fine way to cook rice is by the Chinese method. Thoroughly washed rice is put into a large round-bot-tomed sauce pan, with three times as much cold water as there is rice. One teaspoon salt is added for each cup of rice. The pan is closely covered and the cover is not lifted during the entire cooking period. Put sauce pan over a hot fire and bring to a “galloping” point. This will take about 10 minutes. Boil Gently Reduce heat gently 10 minutes. Remove from direct heat and keep in a warm place for 10 minutes. By then the water should be absorbed and the rice tender and flaky. Remove cover and serve. Another good way to cook rice is by the double-boiler method. This takes about 50 minutes but requires no watching. When cooked in the boiler milk can be used in place of water. Rice may also be successfully cooked in a steamer, which takes about 45 minutes. You can boil rice in a large kettle of boiling water, too. Add one cup well washed rice to three quarts rapidly boiling water to which one tablespoon salt has been added. Stir with a fork, as a spoon tends to mash the kernels. When the grains are tender remove from fire and drain through a colander or coarse sieve. Hold the cooked rice over the sink and pour several quarts of boiling water through it to separate the kernels. Dry and reheat in oven. It’s a good idea to avoid potatoes and macaroni if you’re planning to serve a rice dessert; and if substituting rice for potatoes in the main course don’t serve a tapioca or cornstarch pudding for dessert. For lunch serve a crisp vegetable salad and a fruit dessert with the following oyster and rice dish. Oysters With Rice One cup rice, 1 pint oysters, 3 tablespoon butter, 2 tablespoons few grains nutmeg. V s teaspoon flour, lVs cups milk, % teaspoon salt, white pepper. 1 tablespoon minced parsley, paprika. Cook rice according to preferred method. Drain and wash oysters. Heat until edges curl. Melt butter in sauce pan, add flour and cook and stir until bubbling. Slowly add milk and oyster liquor, stirring constantly. Add salt aid pepper. Sprinkle nutmeg over oysters and add to sauce. Put hot boiled rice on a deep platter and sprinkle with paprika. Pour oysters in the sauce around rice, sprinkle with parsley and serve very hot.
