Lower California Booming

President Miguel Aleman has asked the
national legislature of Mexico to admit the
northern part of Lower California to statehood.
This is the natural result of a phenomenal
development of what once was regarded as worth
less territory. The area referred to extends from
the United States border to the 28th parallel.
It contains the cities of Tijuana and Mexicali
and the resort center of Ensenada. The popula-
tion of the proposed new jurisdiction is approx
mately 225,000 or nearly three times what it was
10 years ago.
The boom in Lower California also has been
promoted by modern fishing methods Marlin,
swordfish, tuna, mackerel and other species are
taken in quantities both from the Pacific and the
Gulf Of California. A report from the National
Geographic Society says: "The shark has be-
come so valuable for his vitamin- packed liver
that many of Baia Californias colorful pearl
divers have put away their diving gear to become
shark hunters"
But the greatest wealth of Lower California
still may be that of its mineral deposits, worked
The entire peninsula is mountainous and the
hills show important veins of gold and silver,
far from exhausted by Indian and Spanish
exploitation Copper abounds around Santa
Rosalia. There are valuable tungsten pockets.
and manganese is plentiful
What all Lower California needs most is a
practical system Of roads, The current boom
should continue indefinitely If it has the effect
of opening now inaccessible terrains. There is
no question about the natural wealth being
available. The problem is how to reach 1t and
get 1t out. fs-st- 2

Phi Beta Kappa Anniversary

Founded at the College of William and Mary
at Williamsburg, Virginia December S, 1776,
Phi Beta Kappa, the first and the most famous
OF all Greek letter societies. celebrates its 175th
anniversary today. The occasion is significant
to all Americans because of the part which the
fellowship has played in the cultural life of the
Nation. It represents native American ideal
OF brotherhood and scholarship. To be admit
ted to its ranks is an honor coveted by university
and college people above all other rewards.
But if Phi Beta Kappa constitutes an intel
lectual aristocracy, it is such in the good tradi-
tional sense of noblesse oblige-a nobility which
obligates to generous behavior. The golden key
is given exclusively for merit. It recognizes the
heart as well as the mind. Thus it symbolizes
the ancient Hellenistic union of wisdom and
excellence of character which was the back
ground against which Washington, Jefferson and
their associates raised up our Republic out of
revolution and chaos. 1t is no accident that only
five months separate the Declaration of Inde-
pendence with its affirmation of life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness, from Phi Beta
Kappa's acceptance of philosophy as "the guide
of life"
A quarter century hence the bcentenary of
the Williamsburg society will be observed.
Plans for an appropriate celebration of that
anniversary already are being formulated.
Meanwhile, Phi Beta Kappa and all other groups
of scholars have prodigious problem to solve.
The answer to- the provocative unwisdom Of
materialism and its fruit, the modern militant
Communist movement, must be found. Demo-
cratic civilization as historic entity depends
upon the success of that imperative quest.

Says

The staff of life has more uses
than can be counted on your two
hands-and It's forms are legion.
Bread enters into almost every
phase of our diet and our cookery
and it is wise housewife-or
man-who knows how to make the
most of it.
Fine-grained bread at least ~
hours old makes the best toast.
If you like thin toast and the
family likes ready-sliced bread
that is too thick for your taste
1t will pay you to buy the special
gadget for cutting a standard
slice in half. Automatic toasters
produce the most perfect toast
of all.
If you are serving toast for
tea 1t should be about q quarter
of an inch thick. Toast it quickly
so that it does not become too
hard, then spread it with butter,
honey, marmalade, cinnamon and
sugar, soft maple sugar, or brown
sugar for sweet toast. Cheese or
anchovy paste are good for the
spicier variety.
Melba toast calls for cutting
the bread in one-eighth inch
slices and placing them directly
in a baking sheet in a cold oven.
Set the regulator at $50 degrees
and bake for an hour until the
bread is very dry and an even
golden color. Serve at breakfast
or with soup or salad.
For toast sticks cut the bread
in half Inch slices, then in sticks
half an inch wide. Bake for 20
minutes in a slow oven until
Drowned. Serve with soup.
Croutons, which have so many
uses, in soups, with noodles, salads
and so on, are made by preparing
the bread as for toast sticks, and
then cutting the sticks to form
cubes. Dip before cutting in melted
butter. Put in oven and stir oc-
casionally. Make the croutons
fsmaller for cups of soup. Very
fancy cooks saute the croutons
in butter instead of baking them
in The oven.
To make croustades or toast
cases, remove the crusts from
bread and cut into two-incl1 slices.

No matter how modest your

and
Save
By EIeni
Fashion Editor

This week is SNational Sew and
Save Week." And with rising
clothing costs nothing could be
more timely.
Saving is. of course. the story
behind great deal of sewing at
home. But many women find that
home sewing is not only relaxing
but affords the chance to exercise
creative leanings in producing that
different looking garment all by
themselves.
All over the country home sew
ing is on the upswing. It is mis-
conception that home sewing is
restricted mostly to the rural
areas.
Throughout the land yard goods
departments record great interest
and volume in the sale of fabrics.
In Grandma's day yard goods held
their position as the largest vol
ume and profit producing section
In many retail department store
set-up. When the mass-produced
items began arriving on the scene
those counters began to find less
interest being directed to them.
During the period of 1892 to 1910
a great many stores closed their
fabric departments because they
were not showing substantial
profits. Schools during that Pc
riod also stopped their sewing
classes because of lack of interest.
Gradually, after 1910, parents in
low and moderate priced income
groups began to evince interest in
having their daughters learn to
sew. The past 10 years has found
many Teena learning to ply a
needle, and in turn being instru-
mental in either teaching her
mother or directing her to places
that would also teach her.
The woman with the moderate
budget is the home sewer, usually.
But Teena is also accounting for
great deal of the interest.
Reasons for this resurgence are
many. An important one is that
pattern companies have made
great strides in presenting high
fashion styling for home sewers.
A number of famous couturiers
contribute designing skill to Gre
ate high-fashion designs for pat
tern companies.
Consumer education has been
stepped UP, too. Most department
stores complement their fabric de-
partments with classes in sewing.
This is done often in conjunction
with specific sewing machine.
company.
The consumer today has more
access to information on specific
problems. Books are on the mar
ket featuring STEP -by-step pictures
for home sewers. BY writing to
fabric manufacturer a consumer
can obtain exact information as
to whether a fabric will shrink,
degree of color fastness and type
of finish.

chic women wear their glasses on
