ticleS require more intense cold than
do others-therefore the foods which
are not so perishable should not clut-
ter up the space designed for more
fragile ones. Milk, butter, fish and
meat should be kept in the very cold
est place. and leftover dishes con-
tanning either of these foods should
be kept there. too. Eggs do not need
quite so much cold, and fruits and
vegetables are better II stored in the
least cold spot in the refrigerator.
The coldest spot is, of course, the
very bottom, because the air in the
food compartment crculates from the
bottom towards the top. Foods with
a very strong favor or odor should
be kept as near the top as possible.
FOOD Is contaminated and started
on the road to ruin" by yeasts,
bacteria and molds which are widely
distributed throughout air and water
and are, therefore, present on every
surface which has been exposed to
air or water. Cold stops these organ
isms in midcareer and prevents their
destroying the food on which they
have settled. OF course, high tenn
peratures destroy the little trouble
makers. too-but We have to do some
thing about saving our food before
cooking It!
Yeasts thrive on foods containing
water, sugar, carbon dioxide and GER
tain inorganic salts. Molds grow on
any substance that contains moisture
or on dry food that has been stored
in a damp place. These molds are not
necessarily dangerous to health, but
they spoil the flavor and the looks Of
food. Cold circulating air checks their
activities very successfully. Bacteria
grow rapidly unless halted by cold,
and are often not noticed until the
odor Of the food betrays their presence.
Knowing that extreme temperatures,
both high and low, will save our per-
ishable foodstuffs for us satisfactorily,
we should bend all effort to cooperate
with the refrigerator in doing good
job. Never take food from the ice
box and let 1t stand in the warm
room long enough for the yeasts,
molds and bacteria to come to life and

Tips On the Food Market
BY LUCE EBERLY,

IN SURVEYING the markets this
= week we find that practically every
member of the edible vegetable king
dom, in or out Of season, is to be had!
NTATERMEJON is the newest ar
w rival and has found its place in
the already overfowing stalls, giving
the finishing touch to all the display
counters. Hailing from Florida. the
Tom WatSons" are considered one OF
the finest of all the Southern varieties
and have been favorites for many
years. The melons appear to be fully
ripened, the meat deep red and mel
low, with seeds black. as they should
always be- Honeyballs. those delecta-
BILE little sweet melons that are a cross
between the cantalorpe and honey
dew, are coming in large lots now.
Cantaloupes and honeydews continue
to improve with every carload and are
steadily dropping in price.
Bing cherries are at their prime and
are now down to their normal price.
Strawberries, blackberries, blueberries,
huckleberries, dewberries, raspberries
and cranberries are all in and are eX-
ceptionally fine for this time of year.
They will no doubt be vying with one
another from now on for place in the
Summer menu. Pineapple, coming
from Cuba, is one of the weeks best
buys in the fruit line. and bananas
run a close second. Both of these
tropical fruits appear to be better
than they have been for many months.
Peaches - those luscious beauties
breezing from sunny Georgia-are the
bellies" of all the markets. 1t has
been a long time since we've been able
to enjoy this Summer fruit, and it
would seem that every one has been
waiting for them to appear. Mer-
chants claim that they sell almost as
quickly as they are unpacked. Those
coming in now are of course the pick
of the crop, consequently they are
about the finest to be had at this time
of year. A few of last years Della
ware apples and Oregon pears are still
procurable. The pears are large and
free from blemish and are selling at
surprisingly low prices, considering
that it will still be some time before
the new crop will be received.
THE vegetable stands look like NAM

beautifully fresh and crisp. There has

to the list. ct is hard to determine

you may find almost every root vege-

of sweets are still being received in
good lots. Corn is plentiful-shows

Dorothy Dix Says
It Is Time That Something Was Done
to Put an End to the Alimony Racket.

A lot Of these women do get divorces
for no better reason than that their
middle-aged husbands are not Clark
Gables. But do you think any of them
would even cast an eye toward Reno
if she knew that her decree absolute
would only insure her two years more
of soft living. and after that she would
have to scuff1e for herself? 1t Is be-
cause women think that they can eat
their wedding cake and have it, too,
that makes them get divorces without
cause.
PUT, on the other hand. while men
should be protected from the ALI
mony hound, wives should be protect
ed from being turned out of homes
like old work horses by husbands who
have jumped the bars and wandered
of into fresher and greener pastures.
When a poor girl marries poor boy
and works shoulder to shoulder with
him helping him make his fortune,
it belongs to her just as much as it
does to him, and it would be a crime
for him to be able to divorce her with
only enough Of the money she has
earned to feed her for two years.
1t has always seemed to me that
when it came to a property settlement
in a divorce the amount of money the
wife should receive should depend on
the kind Of wife she had been. If a
woman is young and childless, strong
and healthy, why should a man have
to pay the whole price for the mistake
they made in marrying? And why
should any man have to continue to
support the woman who had made his
life a hell to him, that drive him to
divorce, because he could bear it no
longer?
But if a woman has been a good
wife to a man; if she has borne his
children and given years and years to
working and scrimping and saving in
order to help him along, then she is
at least entitled to as generous an
alimony as her ex-huSband can pay
her. DOROTHY DIX.
Evening star., 1936-06-05
.HE Illinois Supreme Court has
thrown a monkey wrench in
the divorce machinery by up
holding a domestic reform


the divorce machinery by up
l. holding a domestic reform
statute" which says that if a wife
who has no children divorces her hus-
band he cannot be forced to pay ali
mony for more than two years after
the divorce. That gives her time to
look about for a job or a new hus-
band, and If she doesn't find one it is
just too bad. Anyway, the ex-husband
should worry.
This is the first effective move that
has ever been made to discourage
divorce, for it will not only stop the
alimony racket, out of which thou
sands of boiled ladies wangle
a luxurious living, but it also will
cause other thousands of fretful, dis
contented wives to pause before rush
ing to the divorce court with their
peeves and consider whether hus-
bands who may not come up to their
ideal may not be better, after all, than
having to get out and earn their own
livings.
There has never been any more
conscienceless and cruel graft than
that which is practiced by women
who marry men for the sole purpose
of holding them up for alimony.
They have no particle of affection for
their victims. They have no intention
of keeping their marriage VOWS. They
make no effort to get along with their
husbands. But they figure it out that
alimony is easy money and working
a sentimental judge is easier than
working for a boss who will expect
service for the money he pays out.
SO they marry some poor sap and sell
him into a lifelong slavery.
ALL that one Of these female
L n brigands has to do is to accuse
her husband of mental cruelty"
which may consist of nothing more
heinouS than the way he has his hair
cut or his reading the paper at break
fast, and forthwith she gets her de-
cree and collects large and juicy
slice of the unfortunate mans earn
inss that enables her to live without
working. All of us know men who
have been impoverished, their busi-
ness ruined, their ambitions blighted,
who have not been able to have the
decent comforts of life for themselves
or for their second wives and their
children, because of the extortionate
demands Of their first wives. who mar
ried them for what they could get and
who got everything.
Besides these women who marry for
revenue only, there is a large class OF
other women who get divorces simply
because they are restless and crave ex-
element, and who like to swap hus-
bands as they like to swap their old
car for a new one. I get thousands
of letters from such women who tell
me that their husbands are good and
kind and fine providers; that they
have lovely homes and fine cars and
pretty clothes, but they are thinking
Of getting divorces because their Johns
are Just commonplace business men
instead of romantic lovers, and, any,
way, the way John eats, or his fussy
little ways have got on their nerves.

to take up the roots when Winter
comes, packing them in boxes
Of sand and storing them in a
cool cellar. The tritomas are
readily increased by division of
the roots, but are easily raised
from seeds, which if sown early
will often produce plants that will
flower before the end of the
season. Seedlings, however, can
not be depended upon TO come

with white crocheted buttons, collar
band that ties in frout. and raglan
sleeves that are shocked in white
through the shoulders and left to hang
short and frilly above the elbow. These
come in Dubonnet, dark blue, French
blue and brown.
Shocking is also used on another
model of small figured crinkle crepe.
The shocking is naSsed at the front
below tiny neck frill, and everything
else about the dress is quite plain, yet
the effect is unusual.
DARK blue and white dimity makes
crisp, cool looking two-piece
suit with tiny floral pattern. The
belted jacket has three pleats at the
back, opens to the waist In the front
to show a white shadow organdy vest
with butterfly bow.
Natural colored linen makes serv-
iceahle two-piece dresses that may be
varied in many ways by the addition
Of bright colored scarfs and hats, or
scarf and belt sets. Linen crash in
wide mesh like dish toweling makes
cool, air conditioned street and vaca-
ton frocks. Rows Of bright colored
cotton threads used like cords are
run through the material, forming a
border around the collar and down
the front closing, around the sleeves
and through the belt.
There Is a very nice large patterned
lace with the flowers connected with
a sort of cobweb effect that is very
good. This material is used for
dresses and suits. A yellow one piece
dress has shallow boat neck, wide
bands that form sleeves and q skirt
with narrow front cores that are easy
to iron, and no pleats. A belt Of
brown and yellow grosgrain ribbon
completes this simple and very ef-
fective model.

fabric despite the fact that it re-
quires a lot Of pressing. Figured
linens do not show the creases so bad

ming hand-blocked linen with bold
squares Of dubonnet crossed with a
white leaf design. This was very
simply made with front closing and
collar and neck. 1t calls for a sport
hat Of dubonnet linen and match
ing bag.
Although this Summer seems to be
a riot of colors, we do find a place
for black and white even in the
washables. A smart one is two
piece ensemble with black linen dress
with fold Of white around the high,
round neck and two sets of square
white buttons, one near the neck, the
other on the wide linen belt. The
neck Is slashed so that it may be
opened II desired. Over this is worn
white linen jacket, rather boxy and
hip length with long sleeves.
There are also dark linens, in wine
red and dark green, with line de-
signs in white that very practical.
They make use of white bias folds to
outline the collars and cuffs and to
mark long line from collar to hem.
OF course, evening cottonS are quite
irresistible and greet us at every turn.
Some are tubbable and some are not,
but we do not demand so much service
in an evening frock. 1t serves its
purpose If 1t makes us look very lovely

BROKER ENDS
18th WORLD
CIRCLING

NEW YORK, Dec. AT the
end Of his seventeenth trip around
the world, Julius Brittlebank, IT,
retired Charleston IS. c. cotton
broker, rested in New York today,
and planned a visit to his son,
Frank Brittlebank, in washington.
Brittlebank made his last trip
entirely by steamship, taking 100
days.
julius Brittlebank has seen so
much Of the world over and over
again that he is not quite certain
which part of it he likes the best,
but there is meyer doubt that his
passion for travel wakes with the
years.
Many Other Trips
He will be 78 years old on his
next birthday and behind him, in
addition to the II world trips,
are countless other voyages OF
such minor Importance that he
can't remember half Of them, and
"30-40-50 trips just to Europe and
back" This all came after Mr..
Brittlebank retired in 1904 and
started travelling in earnest. Prior
to that, of course, there were an
nual business and pleasure trips
to Europe.
Some of the clippings he has
kept through the years to show
where he has visited and how
much attention he has received in
such far-away places as Shanghai,
Hongkong, Manila and Genoa,
where they call him the American
Marco Polo, give various estimates
of his mileage. In 1880, it was
100000 miles, and in 1884, it was
100000, but these were wild
gueSseS, made without the aid Of
Mr.. Brittlebank. He said:
81 haven't any idea. I'm like
the little boy who looked at the
big skyscraper hotel and said he
thought it must have cost at
least $1,000.
II think Italy is one Of the
most interesting countries have
seen in a long time. There is so
much to see, more than in any
other country Of her size. The
theater in Milan, art in Florence,
water in Venice. And just think
of all the great people Italy
gave to the world, MarcOni,
MichaelangelO, CaruSO and Mus
sOlini, who came up from the
bottom.
SEEN THEM ALL
'T've seen them all. 1 haven't
missed anything in 10 years. I
saw the end of the Civil War,
and remember Grant distinctly.
saw the China rebellion and
was caught in Hamburg in the
World War. And left Cuba just
before the Spanish American
War"
Mr.. Brittlebank thinks America
is good country, too, and he
always routes his world tours from
East to West because he likes to
come into New York. America has
energy, nerve and money, he finds,
and these things give the nation a
great future, but Mr.. Brittlebank
is worried about Government
spending.
A Democrat since his first vote,
he looks on President Roosevelt as
too extravagant, and if he had not
been on the other side of the world
on November 3 he would have
voted for Mr.. Landon.
