FIGHTER HITS
 BOROUGH COP
Finateri Gets Jail Sen- tence and Fine Plus
 Good Advice

Naugatuck, May 3.-Judge Thom- as R. Weary today told Angelo Fina- teri, 2l, of 107 South Main street local boxer, that he better confine his fighting to the ring instead of hitting policemen, and sentenced him to five days in New Haven county jail on charge of resisting an officer, Finateri was also fined $25 and costs of $13.26 on this charge and placed on probation for two months.
 Sentence was suspended on g breach of peace charge on which he was also found guilty. Angelo, bet ter known as "Rubber-Ears," hit and kicked Patrolman James Fenton last night about 12:30 after Fenton had broken up an incipient fight, the officer testified today.
 The officer went to South Main street and saw Angelo's arm raised in a fighting gesture, so ordered the group of young men to disperse They did but Angelo returned and dared the officer to make him move on, Fenton said. Angelo swung and missed, Fenton pulled him down, but Rubber Ears" bounced right up and hit the officer on the cheek. Again he was pulled down and then aimed @ kick at the officer which Fenton partially avoided. the officer said.
 When Fenton's back was turned to him at the police station, Angelo cooked his arm as if to strike the ar- resting patrolman, the testimony showed.
 Judge Neary told Finateri that re- sistance to patrolmen will not be tolerated here and said, Do all your fighting in the ring"
 Finateri pleaded guilty to resistance and not guilty to breach of thu peace. He did not testify in his owI behalf.
 Michael Miklinebicc, 2e, of IA Allen street, Waterbury was fount guilty of intoXication and given { 30-day jail sentence, suspended fol six months, without costs. He wa. found not guilty of breach of the peace. He visited his wife about o'clock this morning in a drunken condition. About six months ago he had been warned to stay away from his wife, from whom he is separated for six months, and he did so, but the six months elapsed recently. The judge told him to keep out of trou. ble in the future.

Ny Neighbor Soys:

If some Of your table doilies
and runners looked washed out,
try tinting them some delicate
shade to harmonic with your
china. Light green makes a de-
lightful ground for ivory or yell
low china. For q really bold ef-
feet, dye it red or blue and use
it with your gay-colored break
fast sets.
Did you ever serve baked
beans in green peppers? It's q
grand idea. 1t will take about
80 minutes for the stuffed pep
pers to bake. Serve them with a
fresh salad, hot bread, bever-
age and simple dessert, and you
have a mighty good luncheon or
supper.
To clean linoleum which has
been cemented down, use mild
soap suds and warm, not hot,
water, and scrub quickly so as
not to loosen the cement. To
keep linoleum looking new, fire.
quently apply a coat of thin
wax. This gives a seal which
helps prevent stains.

Mistake to
Marry Too
Young
Playtime Cut Short
Due to the Many
Responsibilities
BY DOROTHY DIX.

Dear Dorothy Dix: I am a girl
Of 16 and a boy Of % has asked me
to marry him. This is my problem:
I have heard that girls in their
teens have a grand time going to
parties and dances and am afraid
that II I get married now I will
think Of the good times I could
have had, and regret my marriage.
On the other hand, might be
very happy married and not give the
good times I missed q thought.
Sometimes I think am not really
in love because II I were I would
want to be married and think that
the greatest happiness of all.
GERTRUDE.
Answer-You seem to have di-
agnosed your symptoms correctly,
Gertrude. AS long as a girl has
any doubt about whether she
wants to be married or not, she
isn't in love. and she is very wise
to wait until some chap comes
along who makes her think that
just to be with him is all the bliss
she could possibly ask.
But no matter how much a girl
is in love with a boy. nor how
anxious she is to marry him, she
makes q great mistake when she
does it at 16 and before she has
had her playtime Of life.
1t is then, when she is just en-
erging from childhood to woman
hood. that nature intended her to
laugh and dance and sing and have
dates with the boys and flirt bit
and have fun, without any wor-
ries or responsibilities to mar her
pleasure.
From 16 to 20 are the only care
free years Of woman's whole life.
For no matter how good man she
marries. or how kind he Is to her,
she is no longer a butterfly fitting
from flower to flower. She has
taken up the burden of wifehood
with Its duties to husband and
children, its work of making a
home, and she can never again
have the light-hearted Joy that she |
had as young girl.
I have never known a woman
who married at 16 and missed this
gay interlude In her life who didn't |
regret 1t. Many of the divorces of |
young people are caused by a wife,
who is still a young girl in years
and with young girls desire for |
admiration and romance, getting |
into sordid affairs with men who
preyed upon her discomfort at |
having to stay at home and cook
her husbands meals and fix her
baby's formulas when she wanted to
be stepping out to places of amuse-
ment.
And plenty of middle-aged wom-
en- get into scandals because they |
missed their girl time In early |
life. and when they try to take it
In later Life it ends in tragedy.
So I urge you to take your play
time and enjoy it and get through
with 1t and be ready to settle down
when you marry. DOROTHY DIX.

Young women who take large
sizes often have difficulty finding
well-fitting styles which have suffi-
cient dash and youth. Here's a de-
sign that's young and graceful, cool
as a breeze and perfectly designed
to diminish the pounds. Dart-fitted
at the waistline, it has slim -hipped,
paneled skirt which flares at the
hem. Gathers beneath the smooth
yoke create the desired high bust
line and. matched by vertical gath
ers in the sleeves, make the dress
charmingly soft.
Notice that narrow frills are used
without adding an iota of breadth
or fullness, as frills usually do. In
small-flgured silk print, in handker-
chief linen, batiste or voile, this will
be your favored afternoon dress.

Eggs, too, should 60 into the re-
frigerator without delay. A few
hours at room temperature, and the
eggs can no longer be accurately
called fresh" If the eggs are
purchased in a paper carton, re-
move them and place in bowl or
a wire basket. Many refrigerators
provide special basket for this
purpose.
Vegetables do not need as much
care in storage as dairy products,
meat and eggs. Most cooks like to
get their vegetables garden-fresh as
often as possible, so they do not
have to keep them on hand very
long.
Many vegetables keep just as well,
or better, outside the refrigerator.
The tubers-potatoes, turnips, car
rots and others-keep we'll at room
temperatures. And there is no need
to use the refrigerator for vegetables
with strong odors-such as caui-
flower, green onions and brussels
sprouts-if they are to be used in
day or two.
But vegetables for salads are an
other story. Wash your salad greens
and remove any leaves that are not
to be used, then keep them cold and
crisp in a covered vegetable pan or
oil-silk bag in the refrigerator. Gu
cumbers, tomatoes, radishes (top
removed, green peppers and any
other vegetables for salads should
be kept in a covered crisping pan
or vegetable compartment.
Most fruits are protected against
spoilage as long as their skins re-
main unbroken. Pears, peaches and
other fruits are usually kept at room
temperature to become fully ripe.
But If the fruit Is dead ripe" you
can keep 1t In the refrigerator to
slow down decay. Berries and cher
ries, which mold quickly when warm
or damp, should be kept uncovered
on tray in the coolest possible
place.
See that the refrigerator and all
the containers used in It are clean
at all times, to make sure that foods
are safe from spoilage. If you spill
food, wipe it up at once. And re-
member the Importance of a weekly
cleaning-after defrosting q me-
chanical refrigerator, or when the
Ice supply is low in an ice refrig-
orator. Remove all the food and
use warm suds with q little soda
added. Wash the inside of the
cabinet, the shelves, the containers
and any covers for food, such as
those made Of oil SAX or metal foil.
Rinse with clear water and wipe
dry. The ice refrigerator also has
q drain pipe and drain trap that
must be washed and scalded. And
the mechanical refrigerator has IN
evaporator and ice-cube trays that
must be washed.
A refrigerator Is valuable
piece Of equipment If 1t is given
the right care. But 1t must not be
mistreated. It cannot work en-
ciently If it is so crowded that the
air cannot circulate. It Is bound
to use more ice, electricity, gas or
kerosene II it must chill extra con-
tainers, hot dishes and foods that
do not need refrigeration. If 1t is
q good refrigerator and properly
managed, 1t will keep perishable
foods for Q rsasoriabls length Of
time.
