BULLETIN

DALLAS, Tex, March II.
The Unemployed Council
here has announced that it
will hold a demonstration and
parade and is organizing a
defense corps to protect Co.
der and Hurst when these
two arrive in Dallas.
News has just come to
light that several weeks ago
a member of the Trade Union
Unity League was Kidnapped
by five men armed with re-
v0lyers. He was just about
to enter a restaurant near
the City Hall. He was carried
away in an automobile and
told'nOt to return to Dallas.
Before he was released he
was whipped.
A law was passed in Texas
bout three years ago which
practically forces Mexican
workers to remain in the
state and work for starvation
wages When employment
agencies began shipping
workers out of Texas to
other states, the Texas farm
bosses got the law put over,
but the law was finally de-
clared unconstitutional by
the courts. But in its place
a license fee was put on these
agencies, which made it i'm
possible for them to operate,
thus forcing the Mexican
workers to become practic-
ally forced labOrers at 81 a
day or less under the most
terrible conditions of ex-
ploitation.
HARRISBURG, Pa, March IL

 Is |, your child unpopular in the neighborhood? But that is an idle question, because you would not know if he were.
 Just look around a bit and use your eyes and ears without preju- dice. l say all this because of a case observed one time that con- vinced me that in this one family at least the. mother was absolutely unaware of what was going on. Her neighbors were criticizing her, not for being. blind, but for deliberate indifference to her chiid's behavior, or any effort td inquire into it.
 The little girl was six. She had been popular baby in her toddling days and was the ncighborhood pet. Everybody loved her, fused over her. carried her home and kept her as long as her mother, would per- mit e
 But Children Change
 Of, course the good lady got the impression that this would go on forever, not realizing that her little darling was getting older and get ting her experience outlets away from home. And experience outlets are even more uncomfortable for neighbors than they are for moth- CTS. 4 is
 Came Anthea's third birthday, then her fourth, and establishing her personality in the 'big wide world became serious business. Her will was developing-tha is one of the. psychological processes of the mind, testing it's own strength. Her curiosity was unsuitable, and nothing was sacred against her small inves- tigations. She was secretive, too, because that is another stage of this developing business.
 And she was untruthful, because q. an age when fact and fancy know no dead-line, it is common for a cEild to fib. In Anthea's case, it was very, very strong, this tendency to twist in the telling; and stories car ried from house to house were not always straight.
 She Wouldn't Mind
 When the neighbors tried to make her mind, she was ready with an answer which already her young mind had discovered to work magic. II won't! You're not my mother. l don't have to mind anybody but my mother"
 So Anthea tracked up dirt on scrubbed porches, dug up seeds in gardens, opened the doors of bird cages, and helped herself to jelly. She was everywhere. And she wouldn't stay at home because she had a much less hampered life else where.
 At home she was good, because her impulses and urges needed no more outlet. She was satisfied and tired when meal, bed and bath times came around

At Clifford's exclamation as the detective looked at him vibrancy, electric and sudden, shot through the room. The play came to life. Silence became magnetic. Corrinne felt it in her corner of the daven- port and sat up straighter. Sarah felt it and her hands closed more tightly over the limp pocketbook in her fingers. Mabelline leaned for ward, breathlcac, and Sue pressed her hands together tightly.

NANCY PAGE Here Are Nancy's Favorite| Dishes with Green Peas
 By Elorence i.a sshke #
By Elorence l.a fsaakeI

''Pease porridge hot and pease porridge cold' belong to w4nlssi days. Fresh young peas are never spoiled by making into porridge at least that is what Nancy be- lieved.- She had two or tfirces ways of cooking peas that were different and yet did not destroy the fresh flavor.
 When she was buying peas she looked for medium sized pods, well filled and plump. She wanted the pods to be satin smooth on the out-s side, not wrinkled and hoary with age. She usually snapped n pod toS see whether it was fresh enough tVs break sharply. or whether It was limp with old age.
 Occasionally she cooked a few pods in with the peas. but she saw little difference in the flavor. ofl the other hand, she discovered that half teaspoon of sugar to two or more cups of peas brought out the flavor of the vegetable very well.

All through the summer months, while the days are longer, many home makers are confronted with the problem of keeping meals hot and palatable for the members of the family who like to play golf af- ter business hours. There are often other occasions when the hours of daylight are spent out-of-doors and the dinner hour is rather indefi- mite. making it necessary to choose foods which need not be served after cooking.
 When meals must wait, you will find that casserole-cooked foods and nodded dishes are especially adapta- ble. Hot soups also can be kept in good condition in the double boiler. while the cold jellied ones, desserts, can be kept perfectly and without inconvenience in the ice-box until the tardy one arrives.
 Certain vegetables can be baked and cooked in various ways with out danger of losing their flavor on long standing. Scalloped Irish po- tatoes, sugared or twice baked sweet

potatoes, baked spinach. buttered beets and carrots delicious are some vegetable dishes that are not made unappetizing if kept hot. Delicately favored vegetables such as aspara- gues and green peas lose their flavor and tenderness if kept hot or re- heated.
 Casserole combinations should be baked in a slow oven and kept hot in a pan of hot water. This preserves all the moisture and heat without ever-cooking and drying. Part of the dish may be served whenever wanted and the remain der returned to the hot water bath without harm.
 All sorts of good baked dishes can be made from canned sea foods while salt codfish and smoked salmon and halibut lend themselves admirably to casserole cookery.
 Beef, veal, pork and lamb are always good cooked en casserole and can be combined with vegetables to make a one-piece dish.
 Casserole of ham with potatoes and onions takes care of both veg etables and meat. With a molded salad and fresh fruit for dessert, u
 Broiled meats can be used for occasions when some time must elapse after the arrival of the be- lated diners until they are ready for their meal. But chops and in- dividual portions must be used as soon as cooked, for they are ruined by standing.
 The relocating of foods ordinarily means an extra amount of work and extra dishes to wash but foods cooked en casserole require only 10 be kept hot in the casserole and can be served straight from the casser- ole without extra dishes.
 Casserole of fresh salmon ana potatoes makes a seasonable two-in- one main dish.
