(UPI) Electronic Watchdogs In School Buildings Prevent Vandalism New York (UPD Vandal ism is a non-academic prob lem for many schools. The Chicago Board of Edu cation, for example, estimates that vandals cost the city chools $400,000 annually. In Minneapolis schools, it is esti mated enough school windows are broken in a year to equip 1,000 new homes. To combat the problem, schools are turning to elec tronic watchdogs to back up police patrols. The silent sen tries look and listen with elec tronic eyes and ears. Engineers at Minneapolis Honeywell who develop school protection systems say the most intriguing of the new electronic security devises in clude the following: -Delect noise via a long range electronic hearing aid that tunes in on an area.

By HARY FERGUSON United Press International Washington -fllPB- The aver age American female is about 30 years and one month old, five feet four and one-half inches tall and weighs 132 pounds of which she would like to lose ten. Experts are almost unanl mous that her first interest In life is motherhood inside the framework of the tribal laws of our civillzation-to get mar ried and have a family. By all material standards the American woman is the most fortunate in the world and is the envy of her sisters in all other lands. Hair styles in London, Paris, Berlin and Buenos Aires are likely to change every time Miss Doris Day makes a new movie. Eu ropean magazines and news papers were crammed with pictures of Mrs. John F. Ken nedy even before her recent coronation as the world's best dressed woman. Best-dressed Women American women, accord ing to Women's Wear Daily spend fiiA billion a year on clothes. They spend $1.9 bil lion on shoes and $1.8 billion on things to daub on their faces and their hair. The re sult is thai-Paris to the con- trary-the American woman is the best dressed in the world A half hour devoted to girl watching at any sidewalk cafe in Paris will demolish the myth that French women are the most chic and best dress ed. Great clothes are created In Paris, but they don't trickle down to the average woman who Is likely to have run down heels and wear sweat ers that don't fit. The women of Paris are a sorry sight conv pared with the trim, smart girls who swarm out of Wash ington s government build ings late each afternoon. New York's garment district on Seventh avenue makes stylish clothes and at prices Ameri can girls can afford. Automation Takes Over The average American woman has more leisure than any other in the world. Auto mation has taken over in the living room and more espe cially in the kitchen. A re search report prepared for the E. R. Wagner Manufacturing company of Milwaukee turn ed up the fact that the aver age housewife has 100 labor saving tools or machines at happy the girl who has a swain lo give her nylons made by Hones $1.50 Lamb Rib lets Are Given Tropical Flavor Here s something different In meat dishes that's designed for cold day enjoyment . . . Tropical Lamb Riblets. For the homemaker who may not be acquainted with lamb riblets, home economist Reba Staggs explains that they are prepared from a lamb breast. The meat retail er removes the breast bone, then cuts between the ribs with the resulting meaty rib lets. Lamb riblets may either be braised or cooked in liquid. In this recipe they are brais ed. The exotic cooking liquid with pineapple and lemon Juices, molasses and soy sauce does give the riblets a trop ical air. After cooking, the lamb mixture is thickened with cornstarch. This dish is deli cious served on white rice or Chinese noodles. Tropical Lamb Riblets Three pounds lamb riblets; two tablespoons lard or drip pings; one-half cup chopped onion; one and one-half cups diced celery; one teaspoon salt; one-fourth teaspoon pep per; one and one-half cups pineapple Juice; one-half cup water; one tablespoon lemon Juice; one teaspoon molasses; inrce laoicspoons soy sauce; two tablespoons cornstarch; three tablespoons water. Brown the lamb riblets in lard or drippings. Pour off drippings. Add onion, celery, salt, popper, pineapple Juice, one-half cup water, lemon Juice, molasses and soy sauce. Cover lightly and simmer one and one-half hours or un til tender. Mix cornstarch with three tablespoons of wa ter. Add cornstarch mixture to riblets and cook, stirring constantly, until thickened. Four to six servings. Cake Decorating Class Is Open Elk-Trail Women of Ihc Elk-Trail area interested in cBKe necoraiing class may contact Kenneth Lacv, In structor, telephone 878-2293, it has been announced. Mr. Lacy, now employed as custodian for the school, is a retired baker and has given several courses in cake deco rating, wedding cakes being one of his specialties. Eight women of the area are now on their third ses sion of the 10-course class which is given In the school cafeteria each Friday evening from 7:30 to 9 p.m. , her disposal. The maxim of the pioneers thai "man's work is from tun to sun, but wom an's work is never done" has sone by the boards. These days a lot of woman's work is done by pressing a few but tons and plugging in some machines. There are about 29 million American women who have lobs and the whole field of business, Industry, politics and the arts theoretically is open to them. In practice, however, there are limitations on what women can do and how they shall be compen sated. There are women senators, women congressmen, women judges and women presidents of big corporations. There Is nothing in the Constitution to prevent a woman from being president of the United States provided she la a natural porn citizen and has reached the age of 35, although Article II stacks the cards against her a bit by continually referring to the President as "he." Outnumber American Men Women outnumber men in the United States by almost 2 million and they live longer. The male death rate is 10.7 per 1,000; the female, 7.9. Al most all doctors agree women can endure more pain than men, or at least they endure more without complaining. Few are bold enough to claim to have solved the rid dle of her mental processes or why she acts the way she does. Dr. Joseph H. Peck, who has written extensively on the subject, tells about the time he was a medical student watching a delivery. The ob stetrician held a new born girl in his arms and addressed the students: "If I may paraphrase an old quotation 'Sex to a man Is a thing apart, a woman's whole existence.' The odds are against her ever being a great builder of works of art and utility, a deep thinker or phi losopher, an interpreter of re ligious truths or a scientist probing into the secrets of the universe . . . "The riddle of the Sphinx is elementary compared with her possible actions and reac tions, but she was given to us by the Almighty with, 1 am sure, a major assist from the devil. We love her, cherish her and often would like to choke her. But without her, we doctors and the human race would be in one hell of a fix. Gentlemen, I give you woman in all her infinite va riety and may God have mercy on your souls." Next-The American an in politics.
