Chicken And Rice Mexicana Rice Council Photo Fresh tomatoes, green pepper, onion and chili powder give Chicken and Rice Mexicana its southof-the-border flavor. This is the kind of main dish to cook in and serve from your prettiest casserole. Brown the chicken in the casserole or cook it and the vegetables in a separate skillet before transferring them to the casserole. Then put with the remaining ingredients in the baking dish, cover tightly (using foil if the casserole doesn't, have a cover), pop into a moderate oven and forget it for half an hour. Even though you might be tempted to peek into the casserole during cooking, it is strongly recommended that you do not. "Don't peek" is a standard admonition in all rice cookery in structions, and the reason is simple. Rice cooks to its best when steamed not boiled and when the cover of the saucepan or casserole is lifted, steam'fcscapes and the rice has less chance of turning into tender and separate grains. To add to the Mexican theme, serve with a guacamole salad, salt sticks and for dessert, wedges of fresh melon cantaloup, honeydew and watermelon.

C. HEALTH , . and SAFETY Ban Li In Detro Michigan Gov. George Rom ney ended a two-week-old state of emergency for Detroit and four suburbs on Sunday. At the same time, National Guards men were gradually withdrawn from Milwaukee, Wis. But new trouble occurred in Pittsburgh, where scores of Ne gro teen-agers went on a rock throwing, window smashing spree when there were no bus ses to take them home from a rock-and-roll concert early Sun day. Police Superintendent James A. Siusser said there were no racial overtones to the disturb ances and "there was no hostility or anger displayed to ward policemen." Tension eased in disorder plagued Wkhita, Kan., and in South Providence, R. 1., a 1 a.m. to 6 a.m. curfew and a ban on liquor sales were lifted in an area where rioting broke out last Monday and Tuesday. .« In Wichita, a fire bomb set a dry goods store ablaze in a pre dominantly Negro neighborhood Saturday, causing damage esti mated at between $50,060 and SIOO,OOO. Romney said he ended the De troit emergency after meetings with local and state officials led him to conclude that "recent days and nights have indicated a return to normalcy in the metropolitan area." N.C. Wheat Allotment Announced North Carolina's acreage allotment for the 1968 wheat crop has been set at 451,645 acres, W. B. Denny, state ex ecutive director for the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service, has an nounced. This compares with the 1967 allotment of 519,587 acres and the 1966 allotment of 393,286 acres. The 1968 national wheat allot ment of 59.3 million acres com pares with a 1967 allotment of 68.2 million acres and a 1966 allotment of 51.6 million acres. As indicated in the an nouncement of the national allotment figures, the 1968 acreage allotment with average weather—would provide a crop of approximately 1.5 billion bushels. Mumps— Swollen Jaws? Be Careful Mumps is a virus infection of the parotid gland, one of the sali vary glands, immediately below the ear lobe and behind the angle of the jaw, says Today's Health, the magazine of the American Medical Association. The best sign of tnumps is a tender, smooth, firm swelling that covers the corner of the jawbone where it turns upward toward the ear. the magazine reports. Mumps in a child is usually only mildly incapacitating and moderately uncomfortable. Many cases in children are so mild as to go unnoticed by parents. A mild medication for fever and the dis comfort of mild headache and muscle aches may be used as needed. Normally the child recovers in live to seven days. In the teen-ager or adult mumps is more serious. The virus is more likely to involve other areas such as the pancreas, and to result in nausea, abdominal pains and severe food or fluid intoler ances. The tendency for mumps with its attendant pain to settle in the ovary or testicle is well known. The chance of sterility is highly and emotionally overrated, how ever. Physicians usually prescribe complete bed rest for adults with mumps. Greater physical activity brings greater chance of compli cations. Mumps is not excessively con tagious and almost direct contact with the afflicted—such as drink ing from the same cup or being sneezed at—is required to contract the disease. One can get mumps twice, but it is a rare occurrence. Most cases of "mumps the second time" were the result of previous misdiag nosis of swollen neck glands from an infected throat. Odds are about one in 400 of having bona fide mumps as a repeat illness. Mumps cannot be prevented at present, but recent research promises a vaccine soon. Skin Diving— An Unusual Stress Cause Skin diving enthusiasts are gaining thousands of new recruits each summer. Thousands of Amer icans of all ages and both sexes are spending summer weekends ex ploring lakes and streams from the vantage of the fishes. From the medical standpoint, physicians say that diving makes demands on the body which arc unlike those met above the sur face. Navigating under water is heavy exertion and those with res piratory problems or heart and blood vessel disease should not attempt it, says Today's Health, the magazine of the American Medical Association. Diving is ruled out for those with perforated ear drums. Ear plugs are for sur face swimming only and should not be used for diving because of water pressure. The depth changes also require that sinuses and ears be in good shape to equalize the pressure. Asking your doctor to evalu ate your fitness for diving is a pre caution that will pay dividends. Along with good health, the po tential diver should be a better than average swimmer. A moder ately skilled swimmer can dive with SCUBA equipment, but in an emergency the swimming skills born of long practice and good physical conditioning may mean the difference between survivaland death. | Never dive alone, the AMA J advises. Use a buddy system and I be certain that your buddy is com | pctcnt and trustworthy. Learn to | use artificial respiration and see that your buddy knows it. Plan your dives. Know where you're go ing, how deep and how long you can stay under. Work out a system of underwater communication sig nals for emergencies. Never dive when you arc overly tired, have a told or arc just not feeling well. Use quick release buckles on j weight belts or SCUBA harness. You may need to cut loose and surface quickly. Don't indulge in ; horseplay and take needless risks, j Watch out for boats while in the water. The power boat skipper may not know you're there. Watch your depth. Pressures mount rapidly as you descend. Don't hold your breath while as cending. Air will expand inside your lungs and should be allowed to bubble out as you are coming up.

She tries them on in a rather gingerly, critical fashion, walks in them at length in a "show-me" sort of way, and then examines the workmanship inside and out. When a woman is sold ,on a pair of shoes, she is really sold! A woman buying a house is something else again. Not knowing exactly what to look for, she's inclined to leave the whole thing up to her husband, and then feel miffed if the house doesn't live up to her expectations. Because a house is the largest investment most families ever make, it deserves a good, long look. Women in the know deal with a reliable broker, prefer ably one recommended by a satisfied client, and limit their search to houses well within the family's means. Generally speaking, it is wise to keep the cost of the house within two-and-a-half times the family's annual income, accord ing to The Travelers Insurance Companies. In estimating annual costs, be sure to anti cipate taxes, any specific assessment charges and pre miums for the best home insurance you can afford. Determine, too, the cost and availability of water, electricity, gas, telephone, sewers, street lights and garbage collection.

As for the house itself, the important considerations are efficiency of the plumbing, heating and electrical systems. The latter should be capable of handling all of your appliances as well as any you may wish to buy in the future. Essential, of course, is that the house be structurally sound. To determine this, check the roof, attic and basement beams and condition of all walls and ceilings. Take a careful look at the siding, and check for solid, tight window sills. Women in the know who have found a desirable house waste no time in encouraging their husbands to buy. It's true that mortgage rates are, at present, rather high but forecasts do not suggest that they will be ap preciably lowered for some time. Meanwhile, property rates will probably continue to rise. There seems little to be gained by waiting and much real satis faction to be lost.
