Today's Politician Should Focus His Appeal On Women Over 21
Bv PAULYNE PATTERSON
If women in the United States banded together and voted the same way, they could control every national election. The ballot campaigner cannot afford to overlook the power of women at the polls because today women constitute a dominant national group.
Statistics recently released by the census bureau reveal the number of residents living on the edge of 21 is about 49,600,000. Men over 21 total about 47,900,000.
Women were granted the right to vote by the nineteenth amendment which was proclaimed in effect Aug. 26, 1920. In the last decade the number of women above the voting age has increased substantially more than the total of men in the same age groups.
Of all the states, only in Rhode Island was the increase of males proportionately greater than females in 1940. Nationally, women are dominant in every age group above the voting age. In 15 states, however, most of them in the West, men still maintain a numerical superiority.
Since women outnumber the men, are we likely to have a woman nominated for president or vicepresident? Certainly not this year, but the time may not be too far distant.
Mrs. India Edwards, vice-chairman of the Democratic national committee, said recently that it is likely a woman will be nominated vice-president within the next few election years. If women continue to outnumber the men among voting ages, the wise party leaders may consider it expeditious to place a woman on the ballot.

New York — (U.P).— Mention continental cookery and few of us think of the Portuguese method of food preparation.
Yet the dishes of this peninsular country are among the best in all Europe, in the opinion of a famous cookbook-writing threesome. They also are among the easiest to prepare.
The Browns say Portugal's cuisine has "oriental tongues," because in the past hordes of Moors settled along its coast and brought with them the ancient cooking arts of Arabia. You'll find stuffed cucumbers, melons, almonds and rice in dozens of the native dishes.
Everything from a Portuguese almond soup to fried cream dessert is covered in the new European cookbook by the Browns, Cora, Bob and Rose.
You'll also find cooking inflush, the Brownys say, although basically the diet of the Portuguese as "marine as that of malaria."
Portuguese Dishes Among Best In Europe
Typical of the dishes is this one of shrimps fried in batter:
ingredients
1 pound raw shrimp; salt and pepper; 2 tablespoons lemon juice; $2\frac{1}{2}$ tablespoons olive oil; 1 cup flour; 1 egg white, beaten; 1 egg yolk, beaten; deep fat for frying; minced parsley and quartered lemons.
Shell shrimp. Mix salt, pepper, lemon juice and all but 1 teaspoon olive oil. Beat and mix with shrimps. Marinate one-half hour. Make a batter with flour, egg white and yolk, 1 teaspoon oil, and enough tepid water to thin. Run toothpicks through shrimp so they are skewered together in groups of four or five. Dip groups into batter until completely covered. Fry in deep fat. Drain on absorbent paper. Sprinkle with parsley and serve with quartered lemons.
Method
Eggs, Portuguese style, are easily prepared.
Heat olive oil in a frying pan and add minced garlic. When the garlic is a delicate brown, remove with a skimmer. Add to the oil 5 or 6 thick tomato slices. Turn carefully in the hot oil so they won't lose their shape. Season well with salt and pepper and put them in
