Women Learn
How TO Pull
Together
BY HELEN ROWLAND

DAMON RUNYON, who re-
Gently wrote a challenging
column on Cheating Wives,
processes to be quite surprised
at the irate soprano chorus,
which has come back at him
with What about cheating hus-
bands ?"
Mr.. Runyon claims complete
ignorance on that subject. He
knows nothing about cheating
husbands.
l ask you, girls, isn't it Won
derful what a lot of things we
are learning from the men.
these days? We're learning how
10 wear uniforms and handle
guns; how to command COM
panieS. run riveting machines,
dig trenches and build airplanes.
VIII Have an Edge
The only thing that we haven't
yet quite mastered is the men
tai attitude of the men toward
one another: and until we ac-
quire that, the men will always
have an edge on women.
Mr.. Runyon is merely running
true TO form, when he diSclaims
all knowledge Of any delin-
quencies in his own sex. How
those men love one another!
How perfectly they form a hol-
low square, like soldiers and
fight back to back, against
their common enemy!
Did you ever try TO get one
man to tell you anything about
another?
The Last TO Learn
The best man on earth will
lie 10 the best woman on earth
in order TO protect the worst
man on earth from her wrath.
Did you ever observe how
tenderly a man will lead an
inebriated brother home from
the club and deposit him on his
doorstep? Did You ever notice
how carefully and gently the
conductor (male) will help a
drunk off and on the bus? Or
how patient a hard-boiled cab
driver can be with the intoXi-
Gated passenger who is trying
10 recall his house number?
It's sex loyalty-that's what it
is, Every man for the men!
But don't let it throw you,
girls. We women are getting
an insight into this clever mas
culine strategy, which has been
our defeat, ever since the dawn
of civilization. No longer IS
woman against woman.
The day has passed when
petty rivalries and envy made
every woman every other
woman'S natural enemy. War
has taught us 10 stand together
and by each other; to pull to-
gether instead of pulling each
others hair.
The girl of today is
"womans woman" who is as
generous and loyal TO her own
sex as any man ever was to a
recalcitrant brother; who will
cover up for her sisters, root
for them and defend them, right
or wrong.

Like Other Beans
one Of Mrs. longs pet casSe-
role dishes is made by soaking
the beans over night, cooking
them for an hour in sailed
water. then draining and COM

bit of garlic. 2 pound of ham,

The tomato may be omitted.
Picked green, just before they
begin TO ripen, the beans may
be cooked like any other green
beans. As baked beans the only
difference from navy beans is
that the precooking time will
be a little longer.
As substitute for peanuts
the Soys may be roasted and
sailed. In this case a frying pan
is sailed and the beans put in
they are handled just like pop
corn and will pop or swell in
much the same manner and get
brittle.

Just Like Corn

Mr.. Jong told me that when
he was a boy in China they used
10 roast soy beans in the pod
over an open fire in just the
same way that we roast corn.

for making soy bean milk I'll

be thin like skim milk or thick
like cream, depending on how
much water is added TO the
beans.

Use in Stew

Mrs. Jong had just made muf-
fins and custard when l talked
TO her and of course used the
soy bean milk as she always
does and says it is impossible
TO tell the difference between
it and cows milk.
The curd left after the milk
has been strained may be used
as meat in stew. Fry onions
and garlic if you wish. add
potatoes, onions and carrots pre-
viously cooked, put in the bean
curd and use tomatoes over the
stew.
