It's sound advice : don't put
bananas in the refrigerator

erly, as BELTS their present prices.
RAW meats should be removed
from their wrappings, covered
loosely with wax paper and put
directly under the freezer or at
the very bottom of the refrigera-
tor. Chopped raw meat and or
gans should be stored the same
way but used within "a hours.
M they have to be kept longer,
freeze them in the ice cube COM
partment. Fish should be cooked
within day, and poultry, unlike
meat, should be washed, dried and
preferably stored whole.
What else must be refrigerated?
Dairy products, eggs, margarine,
drippings, lard, frozen foods, all
vegetables except potatoes; pump
kin, winter squash, turnips, egg
plant and onions-and fresh fruits
(apples need not go in, though.
Wash all vegetables and fruits ex-
cept berries before you store them,
if possible putting watercress and
parsley in covered jars.
Bread and coffee both remain
fresh much longer if refriger-
ated. too.
IF YOU get discouraged about
the number of items that are the
better for a cooling, take heart.
"Reminiscences put bananas
in your refrigerator!

There's nothing to be said for
the full garbage pail-but there
are dangers in having too full a
refrigerator. too. especially in
the dog days.
The Minnesota Experiment Sta
ton points out that such vege-
tables as peas, broccoli, cauli-
flower, lettuce, spinach, endive
and kale lose vitamin c like mad
as they wait around on the kit
chen table or wilt in an open bin.
Pop them in the refrigerator and
use them quickly after that if
you want to hold onto their vita
min A, too. Then, once cooked,
try to get the family to eat every
last bit. Not only will you be
sure they get all available vita
min content, but also you won't
have to make refrigerator space
for leftover vegetables.
Meats, also, must be stored prop

Nowadays modern research finds
the causes of suffering to be more
subtle. 1t practically sneaks up
on young child due to certain
mistakes in training which are
made by his parents or teachers.
1t appears fairly certain that if
these mistakes could be avoided
there would be very few stutter-
ers. Two studies can help us here.
One study shows that it is nor
NAL for children between the ages
of two and five, to repeat at the
rate of one in every four words,
either the first sound or syllable
th-th-this way or the whole word
(this-this-this way or part of
phrase (this way-this way-this
way. Repetition of one out of
four words is average. Many chill
dren do more repeating than this.

a
In a foot of normal contour the
inner border - the longitudinal
arch-presents a curvature which
is like a half-dome from the heel
to the ball of the great toe. This
curvature remains, to an extent,
even when the body weight is
borne on the feet. When the foot
shows this curvature when no
weight is placed on it, but assumes
flattened position on weight
bearing, it is termed a weak
foot"
Such a foot is characterized
by a rolling in of the ankle
region. and flaring out of the
forepart of The foot and toes
while standing or walking. Thus
the brunt of the body weight is
thrown on the inner border of
the foot and gives rise to the
typical "slue foot" gait.
This condition indicates that the
muscles and igaments which sup
port the bony structures of the
arch have ecome lax and
stretched and are unable to do
their full share of work in main
tanning these bones in their proper
alignment.
THE CAUSATIvE factors in
weak-foot may be overweight, a
job requiring long hours of walk
ing or standing on hard inelastic
surfaces, improper footgear, mus
cular weakness from disease, etc.
The condition usually starts
with an Increasingly marked de-
gree of tiredness in the feet.
the muscles of the leg. the thigh
and the knee. There is pain
in varying degrees along the
longitudinal arch, throughout
the middle region of the foot.
and sometimes extending up the
body TO the back and shoulders.
This tiredness or pain is more
noticeable in the late afternoon
and is sometimes relieved by pro-
longed rest. When the condition
persists, the pain becomes increas-
ingly constant and is often ag-
gravated by the development of
corns and callouses.

THE OTHER study shows that
as a general rule. children who
are diagnosed as Sufferers spoke
no less fluentlY at the time their
parents or teachers first diagnosed
them so. than the large number of
two to fives mentioned in the
previous group.
These studies show (among other
important facts) that mistaken
adult attitudes toward the child
who is going through normal
phase of hesitant speech, can make
him a sufferer. Here is how it
happens:
Joey, aged three, comes running
in to tell his mother something.
''M-m-mother, c-c-come here.
Wa-Wa-Wa-."
Mother is busy with her work
but as she hears Joey struggle to
get his words out, she drops every
thing to say seriously, "Take your
time, Joey, and try not to stutter
that way. Now, try again more
slowly"
JOEY. who has heard this sew
eral times before, feels vaguely
fearful that he cannot speak ac-
ceptably, that speech is very diff
c,,Jt op1 n yoottar ojf ora,+ ~,
portance otherwise his mother
would not look so serious about
it. So he tries harder in order
to please her; but now he is tense
and his lips tighten and he holds
his breath, so that he hesitates
even more.
AS he struggles harder the more
worried his mother becomes and
the more he senses her anxiety.
His feelings of inadequacy grow
only to make an easy flow of
speech impossible.
II is mistake in the first place
to think of the pre-school child
as sufferer because his speech
is hesitant and repetitious.
1t should be remembered. rath-
er. that speech is a difficult
achievement which the child mas
tiers gradually through its un-
hampered use. This means that no
matter how much he hesitates and
repeats he should be listened to
without corrections and undue in
ferruptions. Speech should be
made easy for him to use SO he
will enjoy it.
IN ORDER that the child be
generally more at ease within
himself, it is wise to observe care
fully and effectively the condi-
lions under which he speaks with
excessive effort and change the
adults attitudes and practices

cent purse snatchings in the area.

toward him. Pvt. Lytle drew his !,
pistol and shot the man in the:
left leg. Gibson then fled down
the alley toward Eighteenth street.
The pursuing policeman fired four
more shots, one of which hit. /
Captured after he ducked into
the apartment house lobby, Gibson
was treated at Emergency Hospital
for his leg wounds and later was
transferred to Gallinger Hospital.

Law Guild Demands
Newell Retraction

The National Lawyers Guild an
nounced today it has demanded of
Clifford H. Newell, former presi-
dent of the Federation of Citizens
Associations, that he publicly re-
tract the statement that the Loyalty
Committee of the federation was
guided in considering the loyalty of
members by "subversive lists" of the
FBI.
The guild referred to a statement
by Mr.. Newell, quoted In The Star
on Monday, concerning the Sub
versive lists" and saying the list of
questionable groups included the
National Lawyers Guild.
Robert j. Silberstein, executive
secretary of the guild. wrote Mr..
Newell that j. Edgar Hoover, di-
rector of the FBI, had stated. I'VE
have neither prepared nor pub
lished any so-called 'subversive list
nor furnished any such list to any
person or organization"
Mr.. Silberstein's letter to Mr..
Newell continued:
Since you have not questioned
the press report, it is apparent that
you were not misquoted and you did
make that false statement to the
detriment to this national bar asso-
citation and other organizations
which you said were on such a list.
We, accordingly, demand that you
now publicly retract that false state
ment."

Fulton Lewis Testifies
For Taxing Co-operatives
By the Associated Press

Fulton Lewis, jr., ousted member
of the Southern States Cooperative,
cited that organization yesterday in
arguing before a House committee
for changes in taxation of co-opera-
tives.
Mr.. Lewis, Washington radio COM
mentator and owner Of farm near
Leonardtown, Md, was dismissed
from membership by the co-opera-
tive last month for engaging in
propaganda" to "mislead the pub
lie into believing that farmer CO.
operatives are socialistic, if not COM
munistic, and are tax dodgers"
Mr.. Lewis told the House Ways
and Means Committee that the bal
ance sheet of the Southern States
Cooperative shows 100000 in
common and preferred stocks, net
assets of about 11,500,000 and mo
profits" He added:
''The answer lies in the fact that
the cooperative has not actually
distributed the full amount of its
operating profits at the end of each
year, but rather has taken out a
part of those profits from time to
time, and diverted them into So
called capital reserves"
