times coiored red for green by
the sauce used, is corn dough
stuffed with bits Of seasoned
meat and wrapped In Q corn
husk to steam until the dough
is cooked and the husk can be
peeled OF like a banana skin
and the tamal eaten like a hot
dog.
Among the tamals I've had
were some cinnamon sprinkled,
stuffed with meat, nuts, raisins
and broken candies and one
bearded tamal-tl1e beard be-
longing to a whole unpeeled
shrimp inside the bundle Of
dough.
Although Mexican chocolate
favored with cinnamon and
whirled with a swizzle stick into
a froth is preferred by most as
an accompaniment to tamales,
/ chose tea and was served
many unusual kinds, some Of
which are meant to be taken
only in crises. Thus bougairl-
yillea tea was recommended for
q scratchy throat; orange leaf
and orange flower tea to cure
irritability; corn silk tea for an
unsettled stomach; manZanillo-
flowers. pecan fig and rose
leaves for other ailments. Al
though they were highly spoken
of, I had no need Of the tea Of
toloache, supposed to bring
straying husbands back to the
home fireside or for the boldo
infusion which preserves lady
from the bad effects of a quar-
rel with her husband.
Peculiarly Mexican delicacies
that I tried and relished,
though I didn't expect to, were:
Turkey fixed with a sauce OF
chill, spices. herbs. ground al
monds and peanuts, fried ba-
nanas. toasted bread crumbs
and black chocolate: knee frit-s
ters, shaped over the freshly
scrubbed knee of the maker:
little sour oranges eaten with
salt and hot pepper and thin
corn cakes with hot caramel
syrup.
Special Mexican items that I
have not tried are baked octo-
pus. roast squid. boiled iguana.
poached iguana eggs and
French-fried maguey worms.

termed ones. Blue and white
checked wool ones were shown.
Fashion editors were warned
not to call the mid-calf length
cotton pants we saw pedal
pushers. But the newest
beach pants were in this length
and had the Ivy League strap
and buckle in the back.
These pants are sensible for
sailing. patio or beach wear.
plus surf boarding where knee
protection is appreciated at
the start of the ride.
Another strong trend in the
sports shirt is the Mexican
wedding shirt" adapted from
those sewn by brides of the
Michochoan province for their
bridegrooms. These South Of
the Border shirts. we're told,
are CALIFORNIA; answer to the
Italian Riviera shirts.
The Mexican style influence
is expected to get stronger as
adaptations are seen in both
mems and boys shirt. Anthem
tic embroideries are repro
duced on the cotton or linen
effect rayon short sleeVed
shirts.
In sWimwear, the biggest
seller continues to be boxer
trunks with a shirt to match.
The cotton swim trunks are
edging out others for the new
swim season. Inspiration for
the patterns comes from the
South Seas, Orient, South
America and the Continent.
And in belts the California
half-round, the 1-inch width,
is much admired. 1t seems to
hit the waist right and its
graceful curved line with the
ox-tongue buckle is so easy to
fasten.
Now that men are displaying
such a great interest in fash
ion even their accessories seem
to be getting a break, design
wise.

MEXICO CITY-My hair is
literally standing on end and
I burn all the way down.
The reason: have devoted
the past IL hours to an in
tensive sampling of Mexican
food. One thing Sure--it'S all
true what they say about
chilis.
I've eaten sauces and rel
ishes made with small red-hot
chilis. tiny green hot chilis,
broad red hot chilis, some that
were not so hot and a few
that were euphemiSticall
called sweet. There are as
many kinds of peppers as there
are tamales in Mexico, which
means one for at least every
other week of the year. Many
cooks use five or six in a sim
gle sauce. / don't claim to
have tasted them all, but I've
done my best with an endless
variety of tacos, enchiladas,
chalupas and memelitos.
To my delighted amazement
! find that back on the farm
in Missouri / was brought up
on the makings of tortillas and
tamales-corn meal mush. We
had no metata, the stone
washboard affair upon which
fashioned Mexican cooks
still scrub the tortilla dough
UP and down for hours before
1t is considered ready for bak-
ing in a thin, waferlike sheet,
but my great aunt Cassie had
a pat-a-eake method with
corn cakes, later fried thin and
crisp, that is pretty much like
the Mexican way.
The several schools Of
thought about the differences
between tacos, enchiladas and
chalupaS have mixed me UP a
little SO that all I'm really sure
of is that they're every one
tortillas filled with meat, vege-
tables. mashed beans or cheese,
favored with a sauce Of chilis,
herbs and spices. Sometimes
the tortilla is filed raw, folded
over and fried in deep fat.
Sometimes it is cooked first,
then filled and toasted-or it
may be only filled and snot
toasted. But l don't know
whether it is the enchiladas
that have a sauce poured over,
or the, tacos and chalupas. I
am certain though tn a t
memelitos are tortillas that
have been cooked on a griddle
and then, while they are hot,
buttered inside through splits
in the top of the crust.
Since somebody is always
making. If not tortillas. tamales,
it's no wonder that Mexican
towns smell perpetually of
corn the way Spanish villages
smell Of olive oil. The tamal

23.-How is a trend started?
Golfers may account for a
new sweater wearing twist ex-
pected to hit a peak next
spring and summer. Pro golf
ers are pushing up their
sweater sleeves, and push-up-
sleeves in striped cotton knits
are q fashion extension of this
look already popular with the
young male set.
Now there's a demand for
the short-sleeved sport shirt
nearly year around.
This was just one of the
mems fashion notes presented
by the Mems Apparel Guild in
California.
Stripes of all types, in nearly
all color combinations, are the
pattern fayorite Of the Cali
fornia sport shirt designers.
Newest neckline note in this
department is the mandarin.
There seems to be a bit Of
resistance on the part OF the
buyers to this stand-up
mandarin collar because most
men want a shirt with which
they can wear a jacket.
The Oriental inspiration
note is seen in many striped
woven shirtings. In prints. and
in embroidered treatments.
However. to disguise this col
lar treatment different names
are being used such as the
Medic" and the ''Pershing
collar"
Interesting Sidelight
Interesting sidelight to this
style note is that dentists out
here are ordering shirts Of this
type for Office use. It's a re-
lief from wearing a white uni
form.
There's a definite trend out
here towards livening up the
evening scene.
To complement the elegant
at-home clothes of the women
a wine silk velvet hosts suit
with attached cummerbund
was shown. It was worn with
a white rufiled front cotton
and small polka dot pattern.
The jacket with black velvet
trousers would make another
outfit.
There's a strong feeling for
velvet out here" said one
manufacturer to me during
the showing. AS a change from
the familiar satin shawl collar
on a dinner jacket they sug-
gest black velvet with match
ing cuffs.
Simulated cuffs on mems
sports jackets are also in the
trend lineup. Lapel notches
are going higher. ard the
squared shoulder narrower.
Three buttons on the jacket
are favored over two. The one
button jacket has had it.

WHY GROW OLD?
Cover Up
Pin Curls
By JOSEPHINE LOWNIAN

oy vOoSA AAA4HG AOBp pVANAAN
Women should keep the par
aphernalia of beauty under
cover. The beauty routines
which bring such lovely re-
suits are so much a woman's
business and so usual to her
that she may forget what a
shock they are to a new hus-
band or even to one of long
standing.
1t would indeed be a syn
thetic marriage and one with
few truly deep values if it
could be destroyed in this way,
but there is no reason to i'm
pose on such a lovely situation.
You will discover a big pickup
in the marriage department if
you will think along these lines.
You will experience it for
several reasons. In the first
place men are human and they
are attracted to a lovely wom-
an. Your fianee saw you only
at your best. If your husband
is still in love with you he will
greatly enjoy seeing you look
your best If he has been TAX
ing you for granted he may
once again see you as an indi-
vidual, the women he fell in
love with in the first place.
Probably even more inn
portant, you yourself will ap-
proach daily life and marriage
in a different mood. In the
stress of daily living you may,
without realizing it, have de-
cided that the effort to look
your best was not worth 1t.
Regardless Of deeper and
more important values, no one
win ever make me believe that
pin cnrls and cold cream
promote romance; the results
do! Nor will they make me
believe that the woman who
is willing to look her worst, or
far from her best. during the
time she spends with her hus-
band, has not short changed
their marriage.
You can get a permanent
instead of having to roll your
hair up each night. or If you
have the sort of hair which
has some natural curl and
needs only a little help. you
can roll it up during the day
when he is away. If you are a
career woman, you can at least
wrap a becoming and attrac-
tive scarf about your head,
over the pin curls.
II you are a career woman,
you can let cold cream soak
in during your bath and use
one of the oils which almost
disappears at night If a very
dry skin demands this.
I think that the overall
attitude and picture are what
count. There is no need to
hide in the closet If you are
caught once in a while with
curriers' or cream, but If this is
a habit, you are making a
mistake.
Let him see only the results,
not the reasons for beauty. as
much of the time as possible.

Measure Modelled

In Fight on Crime

A bill providing mandatory life

The measure, modelled after
New York's Baume's Law, is

Quoting United States Attor-
ney Leo A. Rover as saying ex-
isting laws dealing with felonies
are adequate, Mr.. Broyhill de-
clared:
This would probably be true
If the courts used these laws to
their maximum advantage. But
seldom indeed is a maximum
sentence imposed regardless of
how black a defendants record
may be. This seeming climate
of softnes steward serious crime
encourages criminals to make
Washington their field of opera
tions.

State. believe that my propo-
sal, if enacted. will have a SIM

tenure behind bars. He may have
a record of three felonieS else
where but if he commits and
is found guilty'of his fourth Of
tense here the courts must i'm
pose life sentence.
"This will serve to keep hard
ened criminals with long rec
ords from this city. 1t will also
drive our thriceconvicted local
felons out of Washington.

"As a member of the House
Committee on the District of
Columbia am deeply disturbed
over the Washington crime Sit

newspaper accounts of holdups,
yokings and muggings on our
streets. This is an intolerable
situation which calls for strong
measures and I believe we owe
it to the citizens of Washington
and to those citizens in nearby
Virginia and Maryland commu-
mites who spend much of their
time here to afford them the
best protection possible.
