CHAPTER FIFTEEN

FOR The hrst time Victoria be-
came aware OF footsteps In the
house. A giant In a brown suit en-
tered the dining room. He came to-
ward them. Victoria was not wear
ing her harlequin glasses; she saw
him In detail only a. he reached
the three shallow steps leading
down into the living room. His hair
was the color OF a wet seal. His
long face. both tan and sallow. had
deep grooves at either side of the
firm. full.lipped mouth. HIS eyes
were narrow. Of a clear brown, and
they looked as though they would
never be surprised at anything.
When he was standing beside
Bernice. making the large woman
seem diminuitive, he looked down
at Victoria and said. I'm Leuten-
ant Tuck, OF the Los Angeles homi-
eide squad" Lieutenant Tuck's
voice seemed to have adjusted itself
to a world OF people who were
smaller than he. II was q voice held
under control, and II made Victoria
think Of the bulging muscles Of q
wrestler's shoulders straining at
the fabric OF the coat which COW
cred them.
Tuck turned then to BernIce. Il
prefer TO have no one else present
when I'm questioning a witness"
Bernlce's voice, coming after his,
seemed thin and a little frightened.
"Oh. oh. OF course" She turned to
Victoria and said, stiltedly. "Fll
come by later. darling" She es-
sayed a smile, and turned and went
up the steps into the dining room.
Tuck's head turned 10 watch her
60. The front door closed softly
after her.
Then he seated himself In q chair
facing the sofa. The chair was too
small for him. His eyes had o

world lay in the ruins Of some 6nal

Although the long face opposite
her remained impassive during
most OF the questioning. this i'm
passivity broke three times. The
FIRST time was when he said: Il
have been wondering why you did
not hear some disturbance In the
night. Although the symptoms pre-
ceding coma and death must have
been brief, they must also have
been very painful. He certainly
would have called for you. Yet you

about the Thursday night casserole

Your Health
Many Factors May
Result in Loss of
A--aAtNA
Appetite

BY HERMAN bUNDnsEN, II. I
WHY do most Of US eat three
meals q day? Because Nature en-
dowed US with hunger pains and
these hunger pains stimulate de-
sire for food. This desire is COM
monty known as appetite. But,
even hunger pains will not make
a person eat if there are certain
factors operating which make him
lose his appetite.
Eating should be q source OF
pleasure and comfort, although, Of
course, IL should be borne in mind
that We eat to live, not live TO eat
Anything that interferes with the
pleasure Of eating will lessen the
desire for food.
Unpleasant Eating
Martha Koehne OF Ohio, mas
suggested q number Of things
which make eating unpleasant.
These include unpleasant scenes
at the table, scolding or nagging
q person about what he eats and
how much Of 1t he eats, Furnishing
a child just before, during or after
a meal for bad behavior, quarrels
at meal times, forcing anyone to
eat what he does not want serv-
ing food that is unattraetivs or
tastes badly, giving too much Of a
food, eating when uncomfortable,
and depriving a young child Of the
privilege Of feeding himself be-
cause he may spill food.
Perhaps the greatest cause OF
poor appetite in children is the
result Of efforts on the part Of the
parent to get foods into the child
when he does not want them. Civ
ing too large portions or even CIV
ing too great a variety Of foods
may spoil the appetite. Decayed
teeth that hurt, tiredness, consti-
patton, colds and sore throats, as
wen as many infections, also may
interfere with the appetite.
Parents Tastes
Many parents get into the habit
Of trying to foist on their children
the ideas which they, themselves,
may have concerning foods and
eating. For example, the parents
may have a prejudice against GER
tain foods or some mistaken idea
of foods in certain combinations.
1t is not unusual to hear parents
say that they have inherited dis
like for certain foods and that
there is nothing which can be done
about it.
Others think that what they
have to do is to be guided by their
instincts and they will choose the
right foods. Then they think that
il they dislike q certain food they
should not eat It because it would
not be digested. And there Is the
faulty notion that eating acid
tasting foods with milk or with
starchy foods may lead TO trouble,
or eating fish, milk, or meat with
starchy foods may be harmful,
and, Of course these ideas have nc
scientific support

ward foods and appetite by supply.

"Owing to diversities in law,
custom, and social habits, the citiz-
ems and subjects OF nations pos
sessing European civilization enjoy
in countries OF non-European ciyili-

tensive exemption from the opera

ton is termed 'extraterritoriality'
49,.
OF course, the actual permises OF
embassies and such buildings are
acknowledged as extraterritorial
by mutual consent and common
practice. But AZ square miles is
not a building nor can one regard
1900 persons and their families and
hired help as ambassadors. All
