Electronic Watchdogs

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

Engineers at Minneapolis
Honeywell who develop
school protection systems say
the most intriguing of the new

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

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

one and one-half hours or un

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

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."
