 Brown rice is the whole kernel, or rough rice, with only the outer husk removed. White rice is the same kernel with some further mill ing. Since brown rice contains an appreciable amount of fat, it is likely to become rancid and infested with insects. so be sure to store it in dry place.
 Brown rice is cooked in the same way as the white variety, with this exception: After 30 minutes of gen. tie boiling, the pan should be covered and the rice should be allowed to simmer until it is cooked through and all the water is ab- sorbed.
 Because of its bland flavor, rice combines well with almost any food. This offers you unlimited menu pos abilities at very low cost.

So I'm delighted to see that Americas First Hostess and First Lady is making the same plea in her column. Here is part of what she had to say on the subject, after attending a dinner where there was a decided difference in the number of men and women present:
 T couldn't help remarking how really unimportant it is to have cur tables so carefully balanced as to an even number of ladies and gentlemen. We were certain ly not evenly diveded last night and yet everybody seemed to have a perfectly good time. Con- versation flowed easily around the table It all boils down really to individuals that are

The American housewife is steadily becoming more apprecia- tive of rice as balance for other foods, such as meat, milk, eggs, fruits and vegetables. Rice produc- tion in this country has been step ped up to meet an increased de- mand. In the four states where rice is grown conlmercially-Lou Texas, Arkansas and California-the crop now runs to well over 50,O00,000 bushels annually. This is 10,000,000 bushels more than was produced in 1885.
 Rice is rich in starch and, like all other cereals, it ranks high as an inexpensive source of energy. But brown rice has a higher food value than white rice because it retains the bran and germ portions which are liberally supplied with

Hollywood, = The races at Santa Anita bring out lot of fur coats, feather hats and beige dresses.
 The beSt-dressed movie colonlSt at the track usually is Mrs. Fred Astaire, who one day wore a col larless, belted suit of black wool with white blouse and diamond Mercury wand pin. The hat perched on her long blond bob was mostly feathers-a chou of gray-eige un- curled ostrich, with long veil of sheer black.
 BLACK WOOL
 WITH CERISE
 Among non-movie women, the smartest outfit have seen> was a black wool dress with a cerise bolero and matching felt hat with cerise crown and saucer brim of black vel vet. The jewelry worn with it was unusual-small square silver ear clips initialed in script, and necklace of dull silver with egg shaped pendants of simulated pearls.
 Runner-up was slim suit of wine velveteen, with a Saucer-brim hat of lighter, grape-colored felt, and there was a color tie-up in the collar pin of silver flower enameled in grape.
 The only enterprising designer in Hollywood, who followed the custom of Paris races and sent models to the track on opening day, was Mad Halter Vicki Lynn.

FEW MINUTES FOR MAKEUP

In addition to Keeping everything in its place, the secret of her ability to transform herself on an hours notice from a woman who works and looks it into a party girl lies in the fact that, long ago, she learned to curl up the ends of her hair at home. She took time to have a makeup lesson mad then practiced putting on makeup until she can do an artistic job in a few minutes. She shopped around until she found a mask which. in ten minutes, will give her skin glow comparable to the glow an hours nap achieves. Sse had to.

 The girl who has a great deal more to do than make career of her social life learns how, in an emergency, to pinch-hit for the beauty salon operator with whom she can't find time for an appoint ment. There's that invitation to dinner at (which comes at 5- after she's had busy, exacting day at the office with no time for hair do or a manicure. The situation calls for plenty of resourcefulness. That is, if she is determined that her own appearance will stack up well among other guests who had time for 8 nap during the day, a fresh fngerwave and perhaps facial.
 Given only forty-five minutes in which to transform her appearance from that of a dusty,' weary office worker, who didn't keep her resolu- ten to have her hair done every five days and whose nail polish is chipped and cracked, she begins by brushing her hair for one minute. SCHEDULE
 FOR BEAUTY
 Then she turns on the water in the tub. While it is running, she rubs her scalp and hair briskly with coarse, dry, clean bath towel. She dampens uncurled, struggling ends ever SO slightly, rolls them up on little metal curlers and wraps Of scarf around her head. She washes her face and throat quickly, covers them with a layer of cream and steps into the tub for rapid but thorough scrubbing.
 Afterward, she rinseS her eyes with soothing lotion, pats on a de- odorant, removes the cream from her skin and then rinses with plen- 1 ty of cold water.
 All of which has taken twenty 1 five minutes of the three-quarters of an hour, leaving twenty minutes for dressing, hair combing, making up and putting On fresh coat of polish. However, because she keeps her clothes and makup in order and therefore doesn't have to waste i've minutes looking for mascara, stock ings without runs and an evening bag, she really can do pretty efi- cient job in such a short space of | time.
 When she has full hour to dress for an unexpected party, she spends ten minutes of it resting with a mask on her face and closed eyes covered with cotton pads that have been wrung out of witch hazel or a special eye lotion.
 She always leaves changing nail polish until last. If she finishes her face and hair sooner than she ex- pected, she removes old polish. If not, she simply patches clipped areas, then puts a fresh coat right on over the old patched coat. Since she is completely dressed, with hair combed and evening bag ready to be picked up, she can sit quietly and let the polish dry until it's time to leave.

termined. They attack, and with vio-
lence, both our democratic and Christian
ideals. Armed force is insufficient to
meet such malevolent powers. Inade-
quate as may be our expression of the
Christian faith in all the practices of our
life, we still hold to the conviction that
America is a Christian nation.
Large and heavy demands are to be
made upon us in the days that lie ahead,
sacrifices will be imposed that will test
our loyalty to both church and State.
Are we preparing ourselves against the
day of our testing? Have We the forti-
tude, the courage, the devotion to Christ
that will sustain us in this new world
Gethsemane? This Is time that calls
for Self-appraisal and self-dedication. 1t
is time that demands of every Christian
man, woman and child demonstration
of freshened loyalty to the standards of
the Christian religion and the Christian
way of life. Those who believe in the
sovereignty and Saviorhood of Jesus
Christ, in His supreme conception of
what life is designed to be, who believe
in His incompatible teachings and their
application to the common conditions
Of everyday living, must give strong and
definite expression of their convictions
to the world. Either we are moving in
the direction of a world without moral
law and the sanctions Of religion, or We
are to make more evident the reality
and values of the faith we profess
We confess to the lightness of the
burden we have carried as avowed dis
ciples of the Christ. We make like con-
fessions to the looseness of our devotion
and consistent service to American ideals.
Our patriotism is largely a matter to
which we render lip service. The boasted
unity of the Nation diSCloseS serious and
dangerous defects at this critical time
The whole picture of our life is one that
! needs serious reflection. Unless We can
| lift the moral and religious tone Of the
| Nation we are headed for solemn and
eXacting days ahead. This is no time
| for conceit or too great seif-conside-a-
| ton. Religion and democracy must 20
on together. America and the Christian
! church expect every citizen Of every name
! and race on this free soil to do his duty.

England expects every man to do his
duty" This was the challenging call
Lord Nelson sent to the men who manned
the ships of the British Navy in a great
battle.
Such call, but of deeper significance,
comes to clergy and people as they begin
with freshened zeal the work of the
church this fall. 1t is new beginning
that is marked by new and tragic
situation. Our world is in the throes of
mighty convulsion. Every nation is
bent upon the defense of its autonomy
and rights. To the remote corners of the
world a struggle for existence is in
process. Still freed from wars alarms,
this Nation is calling its sons, its young
men to arms. The whole land is occu-
pied with stern measures looking to
adequate preparedness. Our country has
become an arsenal and everything is
yielding to the new and pressing de-
mands made upon our citizens. 1t is a
solemn and momentous hour.
Can the church, can we as Christian
people pursue ways and habits common
10 HE as unQeT normal COnQlLlOQS! we
certainly cannot. Can the church pursue
ways common to it without due regard
for the new pressures put upon it for a
more consistent, emboldened and aggres-
sive service? Can it, can we individually
as Christian citizens be satisfied with
the kind of service we have rendered in
the days that are past? I think not. If
we are satisfied and complacent, un-
willing to give greater and more reverent
heed to our obligations as Christian
people, We signally shall fail in this
hour of crisis and enlarged opportunity.
That God is
Trying out the hearts of men
Before His judgment seat"
has never been more conspicuously true.
We certainly come to new full
resS of time. All that we possess of
spiritual worth and Christian character
is being put to severe test. We are
the witnesses and exponents of way
of life that is in conflict with many of
the systems and ideologies now pressing
| for recognition. These systems and
! ideologies are bold, aggressive and de-

ArIinqton Jail

Arlington CountyS Jail, the sub
ject of considerable criticism in the
past, is under fire again as result
of a report by the Organized Women
Voters describing conditions there as
"deplorable."
The Organized Women Voters and
the County Civic Federation long
have taken interest in the jail,
which many regard as one of the
county's worst liabilities. Civic lead
ers claim the present structure was
started in 1915 as private dwelling.
1t is anything but an asset to the
Courthouse Square. Earlier this
year some jail Improvements were
made, including the installation OF
fans and an air-exhaust system. 1t
was decided not to go to any further
expense Immediately, as a bill Is to
be introduced at the next session OF
the State Legislature in January to
authorize district jails. Under such
legislation it has been proposed to
erect a jail to serve Arlington and
Fairfax and perhaps Loudoun Coun-
ties and Alexandria. The plan also
calls for a farm in conjunction with
the district jail.
A district jail of this type undoubt-
edly would provide better quarters
for the prisoners and opportunities
for them to work on the farm. 1t
could be built and maintained at less
cost than individual jails in each
county. Arlington and other coun-
ties then would have to provide only
a lookup for prisoners awaiting trial.
Arlington already has planned to
install such lookup in new wing

prise that residents of this voteleSS
municipality are willing to volunteer
their services in the cause of commu-
nifty betterment. The organized
citizenry of Washington has never
shirked its share of the responsible
ity for making the District a better
place in which to work and live.

ganizations will again enjoy banner

What's the Difference?

Among lesser known activities of
the Food and Drug Administration
will be an important hearing this
week. Expert witnesses have been
summoned to present their views pro
and con. Their evidence will be
weighed carefully, and the public
need have no fear that injustice will
be done or any mistake made. When
the administrations decision is
made, the exact difference between
macaroni and spaghetti will be de-
termined finally.
This has served as an incentive
for another group to call on the
F. D. A. for clarification of vital
issue. This other group is the Ma
tional Dunking Association, which
its vice president, Bert Nevins, de-
clares, was founded "to spread good
cheer and good fellowship through
dunking." 1t does, of course, defy
Emily Post, but that is merely Sec
ondary. Now it happens that
large and important phase Of dunk
ing concerns the doughnut, with the
cruller a rather poor runner-up; but
it also happens that certain recalci-
trant States, notably Pennsylvania,
persist in calling the doughnut a
cruller, and the cruller something
else. Naturally, this confusion gums
up the works for Mr.. Nevins and as
sociates, and he seriously wants the
Food and Drug Administration to
straighten it out. To make it clear
to all, and especially to Pennsyl-
vanianS, the official doughnut is
shaped like one of the ciphers in the
national debt-but with a lot more
sustenance in the rim.

applied for Federal funds for this
project.
Under the circumstances, Arlington
would hardly be justified in under
taking extensive improvements of
its present jail. If for any reason,
however, the district jail proposal
fails to be passed at the coming ses-
sion, as it did at the last, there will
be need to take decisive action re-
garding the present structure.

District Court Needs

An anomalous situation in District
Court is disclosed by the report OF
Henry P. Chandler, director of the
Administrative Office Of the United
States Courts. The local tribunal
was one of three in the United States
cited by the director for reducing
the number Of pending civil cases
in the past fiscal year, but he stresses
that with more than 4,200 still on
hand, docket congestion remains
serious and threatens to be a con-
tinuing problem. Civil actions take
almost a year to be heard after they
are ready for trial.
One of the principal factors con-
tributing to this condition was the
long delay in filling a vacancy on
the District benCh-a delay that was
not compensated for, though seven
judges were brought in from other
districts at various times to help out.
Even with the addition of this
twelfth judge, however, and a conse-
quent prediction of improvement,
Mr.. Chandler comments that the
extent to which conditions are bet
tered depends in large degree on
the amount of outside help asked
for and received"
Under such circumstances, 1t be-
comes pertinent to ask if the creation
of another judgeship here might not
be a wise solution. Some court off,
Gals are understood to feel that the
District has enough judges. They
point out that continued use of pre-
trial procedure, plus the fact that
large percentage of cases pending
are uncontested divorce actions, will
combine to bring about increasing
Improvement in the civil docket.
When it is considered, however, that
the District must look for outside
help to make progress, and that the
courts from which the visiting judges
are drawn also have heavy docketS
and perhaps can i'll spare their serv-
ices, it is at least debatable If an
other Judge is not needed.
The only court in the country that
handles case load approaching that
locally is the southern district of New
York, where thirteen judges are
assigned. In entire circuits in which
the case load is lighter, more judges
are detailed.
At the end of the fiscal year, Dis
trict courts were able to bring both
Jury and non-jury actions to trial
eleven months after they were ready.
Over the entire year, the average
time was slightly more than twelve
months, as compared to an average
of little more than ten for the coun-
try as a whole The director con-
tends that normal cases should be
disposed of in about six months, but
with the exception of the Fourth
and Fifth Circuits, which approx
mate this figure, the time every
where is much higher.
While criminal cases have re-
manned at virtually the same level IN
recent years, civil litigation has been
on the increase throughout the
United States, and indications are
that this upward trend will continue,
inasmuch as the Government, with
It's ever-expanding activities, is con-
tributing largely to the showing. In
such circumstances, the local situa-
ton becomes part of a much larger
problem with which Congress un-
doubtedly will have to deal.
