ROBINSON May
MISS TITLE GO
WITH C0CHRANE
Champs Crown Safe in
Navy; Berger Stopped in
Two; Servo Next?
BY JACK CUDDY

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
New York, Feb. 21-(UP)--Brown-
skinned Ray Robinson, IA pounds
OF dancing dynamite, exploded two
left hooks on Make Berger,s chin,
and another victory was added to
the longest winning string in boxing
history.
Referee frankie Fullam stopped
the bout at 1:43 Of the second round
when Berger--a squat Canadian
was on the floor for the second
time. This technical knockout gave
81 year old Robinson of Harlem his
117th consecutive triumph as an
amateur and professional.
Last nights bout was scheduled
for IL rounds, but the ease and
speed with which slender Ray dis
posed OF his seasoned opponent con-
vinced the 12,464 fans in Madison
Square GARDEN that he will be well
terWeight king of the world as soon
as he can induce Champion Freddie
Cochrane to give him shot at the
title. Berger, veteran of nearly a
hundred professional battles, never
had been stopped before.
Robinson now demands title tilt
with Cochrane, and the Goth Cen
fury club is trying to arrange 1t for
March q or April at the Garden.
But there's little chance OF Rob-
insOn meeting Cochrane so soon be-
cause Cd the red-haired champ is
IN the navy, and he claims he can't
get a furlough of more than 10 days
insufficient time to train for a
crown defense, and ca it appears
that Cochrane has no desire to fight
Robinson.
Servo Next?
Hence, 1t seems that rapid Ray
must be contented with a return
match against Marty Servo of the
navy at the Garden, March u or
April 3. Servo, who gave Robinson
a close fight at Philadelphia in
September, and who thoroughly
trounced Lew Jenkins, former light
weight champion, at Philadelphia
Tuesday night, is convinced that he
can lick Robinson this time and
move on to a Cochrane bout.
Servo was a ringside spectator
last night during Robinson,s brief
workout with Berger. Robinson's
speed and punch made 1t virtually
no contest. He tried TO put away
his shorter opponent in the first
round but couldn't connect square,
ly, although he did rock his man
with several hooking barrages.
Once when Robinson missed near
the ropes, Berger came In and
banged him with right and left
hooks TO the head. They were the
only blows the Is year old Cana
dian landed. After n minute OF pur.
suit in the second round, Robin
son connected with a smashing left
hook to the chin. Berger landed on
the canvas in q sitting position. He
was up at the court of six, but Rob-
inson swarmed over him, driving
him about the ring until another
left hook sprawled Make on the
floor. Without waiting for a count,
Referee Fullam stepped In.

THE CRAVING FOR CARBOHYDRATE

If any food material may be called "fattening" it is carbohy- drate (any form of starch or sugaC rather than oils and fats. The great majority of obese individuals owe their handicap of stacker flesh primarily to overindulgence in car bohydrates such as white sugar and white flour or items in which these refined carbohydrates are the main ingredient.
 There is a craving for refined carbohydrate which the poorly nourishcd or malnourished victim of moderate obesity finds 1t hard to resist. Often this craving seems to develop in periodic waves and drives the victim to break diet or throw all resolutions to the winds and go on a gorge, consuming eX- cessive quantities of candy, cake, ice cream or starch in one form or another, much like periodic drink CT on a spree.
 It Is my belief that this abnor- nal craving for refined carbohyd- rate, is due to nutritional de1icien- cy, particularly vitamin B complex deficiency (which itself is due to replacement of whole wheat flour and natural brown sugar and mo- lasses in the modern diet by refined

white flour and refined white sugar and syrups). Other deficiencies due to refined modern diet probably
 play secondary part in causing the craving and hence in causing obesity, notably vitamin c deficien- cy from insufficient fresh fruit and fresh green or vegetables), and de- ficiency in vitamin D and calcium.
 To prevent or control this craving is one reason why it is importan, to supplement every reducing diet with suitable concentrate of the essential vitamins and minerals, which in itself will no. add many calories to the daily intake. But is not the main reason why re- Stricted diet, whether for reduction or for any other purpose, should be so supplemented. The main reason is to prevent actual development of deficiency disease. Even the ordi- nary everyday diet of most Amer jeans is likely to be more or less deficient in vitamins and minerals, and the mild chronic deficiency ail- iHSiiIo Nuc UO Clllo IldDlLudl oIlII- age of vitamins and minerals may be converted into outspoken de- ficicncy disease If the diet is much restricted for considerable period and the intake of vitanins and min erals in food still further reduced.
 A rational, properly supplement- ed reducing diet enables you to re- strict your total caloric intake enough to bring about the desired gradual, steady reduction, phys'o- logical reduction, without the dis comfort, weakness, haul..ng hung CT or depression so commonly asso- ciated with unscientiflc dieting.
 A rational reducing regimen fdiet and other measures) should make you feel better, not worse, more inclined to work, play or ex- ercise. Tn popular terms, 1t in- creases the three v's vim, vigor and vitality. If reducing regimen fails to do so, there is something wrong with 1t, or perhaps some- thing wrong with you that requires medical care, not just dieting.

 There isn't a man in the woric who doesn't get an unpleasant shock when he realizes that most of his wife's beauty Is put on and taken off with brushes and puffs. reports Helen O'Connell, the radi- ant singer with Jive;nan Jimmy Dorseys busy band. She advises every last one of us, therefore, to do our making up out of hubby's sight.
 That's going a little too far. I guess plenty of men do not imaS- inc, at sight of an eyebrow brush. that she's nothing but grease and sweetening. Surely some regard the compact as no more shocking than, say, pocket comb. I fancy, in- deed, that the rule against using your lipstick in public is bound to relax some in these war times. ORDINARY POLITENEss
 REQUIRES THIS
 But garden variety politeness does demand that you know how your husband or your escort feels. and respect it. If he's as sensitive as Helen finds them, then don't rein force your lip makeup in the res- taurant, much less at the table.
 And don't wait till after he has paid the check to go to the dressing room to repair your mouth - for undoubtedly that man can't bear to be kept waiting either. And when he wouldn't dream of flicking out that pocket comb in taxicab, not to mention in a public place, why should you?
 Helen O'Connell says that the members of the band taught her to streamline her making-up time. When she joined the band, she took half an hour to do the job. The boys kidded her till she learned to complete 1t in ten minutes. The worth any really busy wom- ans copying-is to practice in pri- vate till you get the process sys- tematized.

From Puget Sound to Key West from Maine to California-there's $ unity of opinion that dry beans are among the best of foods.
 Slow baked white beans with salt pork and molaSses are tops with the New Englander. Black-eyed beans, or peas as they're usually called favored with ham knuckle and combined with rice, are in demand south of the Mason-DiXon line. Pinto beans, seasorcd with garlic and chili, are highly regarded in the states bordering on Mexico.
 They are indispensable in the diets of our own armed forces. On the civilian front dry beans are equally valuable, especially to home makers operating on modest food budgets. The Bureau of Home Eco romics in it's loW-cost adequate diet plans suggest that dry beans, dry pesa, or peanuts be included several times week.
 Here are the rules for success ful bean cookery:
 Soak beans before you cook them overnight or at least or hours. One cup dry beans will yield from 2 to 2 cups cooked beans. To get the most food value from beans, use the soaking water for cooking.
 Use soft water if you can. Hard water toughcns bean skins. Never use soda to cook beans. This de- stroys the valuable vitamin Bl. Cook beans slowly Simmer them on top of stove. Use slow oven (around 250o F.) for baked beans. Watch them carefully as they cook and keep adding more liquid
