Drugs and Crime

The definite link between the
increase in major crime and the
noticeable spread of the drug evil in
recent months, cited in the report
of the Washington Criminal Justice
Association, discloses development
of a condition here that has been
experienced in other metropolitan
centers.
Offering one of the most vicious
problems in law enforcement, and
at the same time one of the most
difficult, because of the thousand
and one hidden channels through
which it moves, the traffic in mar
cotics stands as a perpetual chal-
lenge to policing agencies which rec
ognize in it fertile breeding ground
for other brands of criminality.
Reporting an eleven per cent in
crease in the crime rate for the first
six months of this year, as compared
to the corresponding period of 1888
housebreaking was largely RESPONSE
BILE for this shoWing-the association
had this to say on the narcotic sit
uation:
Police in various districts def
nitely feel that crimes of violence
and housebreaking have become
more numerous because of the sur
prising increase in the use of mar
cotics among the colored people,
especially the use of heroin. Two of
the most vicious murders committed
during the first six months of this
year were directly traceable to the
use of this drug. Known addicts,
according to the police, without other
means of support, have been ar
rested and have confessed to a num-
ber of housebreakings."
The surprising increase" in drug
addiction in the face of determined
efforts by Federal and local au-
thorities to stamp it out amply illus
trates the difficulty of applying

Alloy Metals Neglected
In American Trade Plans.

To the Editor of The Star:
There seems to be a time lag in our
mentality, which is still where it was
when the Constitution was written.
Then, it took four days to go from Boston
to New York by stage coach; now, it
takes two hours by plane The world is
shrinking in size, and with it, the brains
OF some humans, particularly those who
fail to recognize that commerce no
longer depends mainly on wood, coal and
iron ore. The place of those commodities
today has been taken by the alloys.
Unfortunately the United States is
somewhat deficient in them. Yet we
have them, and instead of recognizing
that fact and taking real steps to insure
their supply We have chosen to do
nothing except to depend on isolation
and luck. Real isolation is not possible
SO long as our economy is in fact de-
pendent upon these rare metals. How
many people realize that Edison had
difficulty in finding tungsten to free him
self from the defects of the old carbon
filament? Yet there is plenty of it in
China. Not long ago We had an expose
OF beryllium intrigues. Furthermore, we
allowed Schacht to sneak into Mexico
and In less than three weeks gain control
OF Bolivian tin, in spite of the fact that
we have none in the United States and
utilize half of the worlds production. 1t
is indeed not too much to say that the
European madhouse is largely caused
by the struggle for alloy minerals. Let
us wake up before it is too late.

Opposes Government Competition
With Private Business,
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
1t seems to me that it is time for some
one to speak of some of the insane acts
perpetrated upon the great masses of
the people who are living under a rep
resentative government
Let me say in the first place that the
Government is engaged in too many
activities which destroy fair competitive
business. Permit me to say that what
is needed more than anything else is q
humanization Of our Government. It
seems to me the time has come when
the use of little common horse sense
might mark the beginning of new era
in the history of our country.

the big business of homemaking.
"Home life is no longer just a round

have made housework an easier and

homemaking is now concerned also

and hobbies. A woman is not a slave
but member of her family"

1t is not that Mrs. Bond asks man
to mend his wife's stockings or darn
the children's socks, or to come home
at night and cook the family dinner.
She does, however, think he is con-
cerned in understanding the problems
of his family. the management of the
home, and the using of money for
the advantage Of all.
Men, for instance. are sometimes
rather unaware of the importance of
beauty in the house. Yet you have
only to look at entertainment places.
to see how important attractive sur
roundings are" she says. If you are
worried because the children want to
go out for their fun, take good look
at amusement places and at your own
house, she advises. and see if you have
made your household surroundings
relatively restful and attractive.
Though Mrs Bond is a Twentieth
Century abolitionist where woman's
drudgery is concerned. she is equally
against poor Housekeeping or the un-
derestimating of well-cared for, we'll
run house and well-prepared meals.
Married life has enough complica-
tons" she says. without adding the
annoyance of poorly prepared food.
In fact, many family ills can be cured
by simply substituting good meals for
poor ones"
Don divorce human relations from
knowing how to cook" Mrs. Bond
warns. They are Intimately con-
nected. And personally advocate
meals cooked and served at home.

Restaurants often prepare good food.
But a family does not get together
around restaurant table.
''In the past we have not thought
of cooking as an art or a science. but
onlyas job to be done. But it belongs
among human accomplishments.
There are, to my mind, three
rewards for good cooking: In the first
place, a cook gets JOY out of the process
of cooking. 1. for instance, love to
handle bread doughs - they seem al
most to come alive in my hands. Then,
you have the satisfaction of knowing
that people will enjoy what you give
them. Finally, if you are a home
maker. cooking is part of your total
job"
Since bread dough is her speciality
and since most of us and our families
like homemade breads, we offer our
readers these recipes which Mrs. Bond
gave us. Using the following basic
recipe for sweet-roll dough. you will
be able to work out a variety of deli
cious breadstuffs.
