Hoover on Crime

Hoover on Crime
In his laudabe zeal for law enforcement, President
Hoover seems to be overlooking basic social and
psychological factors which increase the difficulty OF
the problem but which cannot be ignored in any real
solution
His New York speech was strong on the need for
reform the mechanics of our legal system. But, in
judgment it stopped short of the vital issue as
to the of national Iawlessness
The Presidents description of existing conditions
is as alarming as it is rrefutable Twenty times as
many people in proportion to population are lawessy
killed in the United States in Great Britain, he
points out After listing other crimes, he concludes
that life and property relatively more unsafe
(here) than in any other civilized country in the
world That is true.
What about causes? Mr. Hoover thinks but q
small percentage of these can be attributed to the
eighteenth amendment" Indeed he goes so far as to
say that what we are facing today is something far
larger and more fundamental-the possibility that
respect for law law is fading from the sensbities
of our people"
That is a serious indictment of the American peo-
pie To the extent that it is just indictment be-
eve it is attributable in the main to dsrespec for the
prohibition law If honest disagreement with the pro-
libiton law and disgust with the laWessness Of en-
torcement methods Of that law is not the chief
explanation, what is the explanation?
Is it that Americans have some original sin of law
lessness in their physical mental makeup, that
Americans as such have some fundamental moral de-
feet? That is hardly reasonable conclusion But
what alternative conclusion is possible, if dismiss
prohibition as major in the admitted wide
spread and peculiarly American disrespect for law?

Care Keeps Frocks
Looking Their Best

1t is not just the care you take Of
your clothes when you wear them-but
the care you take of them when you
do not wear them that keeps them
looking attractive Realizing this you
have doubtless provided a closet where
your frocks may hang on hangers on
a cross pole or rod and not on hooks
where they come in contact with the
walls of the closet.
When possible frock or suit should
be aired a little before it is hung away
and some women have a clothes tree
where they hang clothes for this pur-
pose. If you take off party frock 1t
is a good plan to put it on hanger
right side out and leave it on the hang
er for the night. The next morning you
should carefully turn the frock wrong
side out, put it back on hanger and
hang it away in your closet, attending
to any possible rips or wrinkles so
that it will be ready for the next wear
ing.
Overalls of some light, washable ma
terial that completely cover frock are
well worth while. especially for light
frocks. For the frock that is bouffant
or frilly and may not conveniently be
turned inside out such a cover is very
desirable If you do not find time to
make any OF these overallS ana 90 not
want to buy any ready made you may
use a strip of cheesecloth or other mex
pensive light cotton material twice the
length of the frock. Simply make a
perforation in the center through which
to slip the wire hook of the hanger
and let the material hang freely over
the frock.
Suits and street frocks should always
be brushed before they are put away.
A rather soft, fine clothes brush Is best
for this purpose.

Gigot de Mouton
Brise Is Good

TT sounds very ambitious, doesn't it?
But it really is very simple to pre-
pare and the next time you want a
really bang-up dish for dinner try 1t.
To begin with you will want leg
of mutton. Ask the butcher to bone
it for YOU. SO don't wait until the Satur-
day rush is on, but order 1t when he
has time to spend to remove the bone
carefully. The meat should be rolled
after it is boned. Be sure to get the
bone as 1t will be excellent for making
soup.
-Four and a half hours before you
want to serve it, put tablespoon OF
butter in large frying pan. Melt the
butter and when quite hot put the
lamb in the pan and let it brown nicely
all over. Turn the meat over and over
SO that it is evenly Drowned on all
sides without being burned.
Now put the meat in a kettle. Pour
a cup of water into the pan to take up
the Juice, and turn it into the kettle.
Add another cup of hot water, with a
sprig of parsley, small bayleaf and
two carrots scraped and sliced, also
salt and dash Of pepper.
Cover the kettle closely and let the
meat simmer for four hours. Add a
very little water if need be, but at
no time have more than pint or two
cups of water in the kettle The i'm
portant thing is to have low, even
heat and to have the cover of the
kettle fit closely
When ready to serve put the leg of
lamb on a platter and put the carrots
around it. If you like a good deal of
gravy you might simmer the bones to
make additional stock for the gravy.

New Lingerie Is Made
In Many Lovely COlors
New

Lingerie of Lido blue is favored by
fashion, but newer and less usual and
really smarter is lingerie of turquoise
blue
Nowadays the normal color" for
lingerie of all sorts is flesh, just as it
once was white. Now white lingerie
has an air of distinction. 1t has been
chosen in crepe de chine, crepe satin
or chiffon for wear with the all-white
gowns which are already bidding so sue
cessfully for favor at the Southern
resorts.
Orchid, peach, Nile green, eggshell,
coral. tea rose, maiZe-with white, Lido
and turquoise blue, and fiesh-are the
colors most frequently spoken of when
smart new lingerie is under discussion.
For wear with the black evening gown
there are dainty pieces of black
georgette, chiffon or Ninon, trimmed
with black, ecru or white lace.
With the increased interest In nat
ural silk tones for sportswear there will
doubtless be an increased interest in
pongee and rajah lingerie. The shops
already show little garments of these
materials all of the simple tailored
type-never, of course, trimmed with
lace.
Lace in deep ecru is used In combina-
ton with chiffon and crepe de chine in
all the accepted lingerie tones. Some

Moles Have Long
Been Cherished

For centuries, 1t would seem, moles
have been considered real mark of
beauty. The truth of the matter Is,
of course, that some people with moles
are ravishingly lovely to look at, and
some are as ugly as they can be.
Wyatt, poet and artist of the court
OF Henry VIII, says of Anne Boleyn,
Likewise there were said to be upon
certain parts of her body small moles,
incident to the cleareSt compilations. +"
Certain 1t Is that Anne Boleyn had
lovely complexion and the courtiers
Of the time referred to her as fresh
and young"
Santa Teresa's three moles have
come down in history and so far from
being looked upon as blemish on her
beautiful face. they were considered a
contribution to her beauty. The BIZ
ographer leaves nothing to our imagi-
nation and tells us that "she had three
moles on her left cheek which became
her much-one below the bridge of the
nose, another between her nose and
mouth and third below her mouth"
Balzac's famous Henriette, the
Countess of Mortsauf, in THE Lily of
the Valley" was possessed of mole
q very distracting mole it proved to be.
When Felix, the first person of the book,
first sees the countess, he Is a lonely
lad at a ball. and apparently 1t is with
the countess very lovely shoulders that
he first falls In love.
AS he Is gazing at these shoulders,
he tells us: my eye rent the stuff of
her dress, and saw mole that mark
ed the top of the pretty line between
her shoulders, speck lying on milk"

Once Again-the Baby.

Mothers of babies have to cook for
the babies fathers as well as the in
fantS themselves. It Is a bit hard If
everything has to be made separately,
so why not arrange your own meals in
such way as to make use of the cook
ing you must do for the very important
little Teller?
Let's say the baby Is over year old,
so that he gets some vegetables and a
few light desserts. On the day that he
has peas for his dinner, have peas for
yours. You may serve them for him
with a little butter, and yourself as
serve them with chopped mushrooms.
If the baby has lima beans, have
succotash or lima beans baked with a
little corn syrup poured over them, or
buttered or creamed When the baby
has spinach and cauliflower, do you
have the same.
And If there comes a day when you
find that you have small amounts Of
several vegetables that have accumu-
lated, have vegetable plate, adding a
poached. baked or scrambled egg.
If the baby must have baked potato,
have baked potato yourself. It's good
for you.
Then there's the matter of desserts.
II you've made apple sauce for the
baby, have an apple sauce pie for your
selves. Into baked pie shell pour
enough thick. strained, seasoned and
Sweetened sauce to fill the shell. Top
with fluffy meringue just before serv-
ing and set in hot oven to brown
the meringue.
Or make an apple sauce cake, using
one egg. one-half cup sugar, one-half
cup apple sauce, one teaspoon vanilla,
one-fourth teaspoon nutmeg, one-half
teaspoon soda, one teaspoon baking
shortening and one cup -four.
Or make q plain white cake. or a

called cholocate. AS a departure from
these tones which have become very
generally accepted, one or two of the
important lingerie makers are using a
deep grayiSh beige for lace which i'm
presses one on sight as being decidedly
smart.
One or two sets in which cream col
ored lace appears with pastel shades
are surprisingly attractive.
Having finally launched the vogue for
laceS OF deeper contrasting tones. the
smartest of French lingerie makers have
come forth with the idea of using
laces dyed precisely to match the
little piece of material with which they
are combined. There Is a subtle note
Of good taste about these n1ontone, lace
trimmed nightgowns and combinations.
Never before has lace been used so
lavishly on lingerie. Many Of the love-
Hest pieces are really made Of lace with
Just a patch of chiffon or georgette here
and there to add touch of color.
Some women choose these predomi-
nantly lace garments for evening wear
only. There are little garments of crepe
de chine and fine embroidery that are
scarcely less dainty than those of fine
lace. Point de Beauvais and needle
point embroidery appear on some OF
them. Faggoting has been revived, and
so also has elaborate henstitching. In
serts and edgings Of fine net make their
! perennial appeal.

New.Old Rug Is
Made of Petals

An interest In old-fashioned handi-
crafts has been revived and, instead OF
doing the fine sort of fancy work that
was the fashion in mid-Victorian days,
up-to-date young women are going back
for inspiration to earlier days when
women didn't have time to spare for
non-essentials, but used their leisure
moments to make floor mats, quilts and
bedspreads instead of tides and sense
less doilies.
One great advantage of these earlier
models is that they were done by wom-
en-, who If they worked after dark
worked by the light of candle or per-
haps tallow dip. The work was eff
fective, but fairly coarse. They used
heavy thread and needles with large
eyes, and they worked on materials that
were substantial enough not to be
spoiled by hands that were acquainted
with hard work.
Present-day fingers may be smooth
and soft enough to manage the silk floss
and fine needles dear to the hearts Of
the Victorian ladies, but the worker is
too sensible to want to dull eyes by
work that is needlessly fine. And so
she doubtless turns with eagerness to
the substantial sort of handicraft
practiced by women a hundred and
more years ago.
One of the most interesting sort of
floor coverings made by those stalwart
women was the door mats, made from
tongue-shaped scraps of flannel and
other wooden materials. Perhaps one
has seen these rugs In some old farm
house, where traditions of needlework
have been handed down for many gen.

plain yellow cake and put It together
with apple sauce, Sweetened. You NAV
top 1t with a thin, plain icing or use
merely q coating of powdered sugar.
This is an easy way of dressing up
the cake and one that Is popular with
most husbands.
Or make t,lrnovers Of rich pie dough,
cutting it into squares. putting couple
OF SpoonfulS OF Sweetened sauce on and
folding 1t over, pinching the edges to-
gether and baking in quick oven.
On the baby's prune pulp day, make
prune whip. On cornstarch pudding
day, set his cornstarch aside and add
bit OF canned or fresh fruit to yours
You might serve it with thin c,istard
sauce.
Add fruit or chocolate sauce to your
junket, If the baby Is to have plain.
And so with tapioca pudding.
OF course, 1t wouldn't be sense to
always have q dessert that utilizes the
cooking time for the haby's dessert. A
man must have pie or pudding now
and then. But you can do it often
enough to lessen your work con-
siderably.
If you cook the baby's cereal the
evening before, you have your own
breakfast cereal ready, merely by add
ing to the quantity.
AS the youngster grows older It be-
comes increasingly possible to save
valuable hours by cooking some Of the
family food while preparing the some
what specialized diet of the diminutive
lord of the manor.
All too few housewives with babies
overlook this shortcut to culinary
duties that are bit more difficult to
perform when so great a part Of every
day Is taken up in attending to baby's
multiple wants.
A little ingenuity goes long way In
the Saving of time, labor and temper.

High Heels and Beauty.

This is no symposium on the physical
effects of the varying heel heights Of
the modern SHOE Much has already
been said on that subject, perhaps too
much-but for the most part women
still continue to heed only the dictates
Of fashion.
For a change, consider this feature
of dress from the beauty angle. 1t
may, perhaps, seem more worthy Of
attention. Think of it from the view
point of that dealer in feminine grace
Letting pass the consciousness
that would almost swamp the mex
perienced candidate for place on the
stage, just what sort of exhibition
would you give Of yourself when you
responded to the casting directors first
command, which invariably is walk"
Now, walking Is an every day action
which has long been regarded by you
as easy and natural, but now with your
attention suddenly riveted upon it, how
do you walk?
Are you long limbed? Do you find
your stride interrupted by the prema-
ture landing of your heel? If so, the
heel of your shoe is too high. Perhaps
you flap" Which means that your
heel hits the floor first, and the sole is
left to follow with flap like ducks.
II such be the case, you may be sure
that the heel of your shoe is too low
for your kind of step.
Suppose, now. that instead of COM
mitting the aforesaid sins. you find
yourself, in order to avoid scuffling your
heel on the ground. planting" heel,
sole and toe simultaneously. Your heel
is too high. A trifling eighth of an
inch less in its height will correct this
fault in your gait. FL.
Bear in mind, however, that the
proper time to adjust the height of the
heel to meet your individual require
mentS IS when you are purchasing the
shoe. Its carefully. correctly and beau
tifully proportioned lines, as well as the
design Of the shoe. will be ruined by
added or subtracted lifts.
When doing your buying, follow the
command Of the theatrical director and
walk. Do not just stand in front of
the bootery mirror, trying to decide
whether the shoe makes your foot look
a sixteenth of an inch longer or shorter.
This is a matter of no Importance as
compared to whether your knee and hip
joint are relaxed SO that you may feel
balanced and secure, as you should, II
you expect to move beautifully and
gracefully when you walk.
IT Is impossible to set o standard
