A. Yes. A brief note of sympa-
thy is suffient before the funeral,
and a cali of coincidence should
be made soon after the funeral.
Q. When a man brings an UNI
expected guest home to dinner,
should the wife apologize for the
scanty meal?

| am often struck with the
fact that m our community,
each month or so brings some
fruit into full ripeness. In
many areas fruits are consider
ed a luxury, but these Islands
being tropically located are
conductive to fruit bearing.
So it is not surprising that
locally grown fruits are con
sumed IN quantity during
their peak season. 1t is nothing
to be told that 5 mangoes, or 9
CANVAS, or 3-5 sugar apples
were eaten at one sitting.
Ripe fruits are poor in pro-
tein and fats but they make a
definite contribution to the
problem of an adequate sup
ply OF minerals, vitamins and
roughage essential to the well
being OF human beings. Right
now the sugar apple is in sea
son. It is sometimes called
sweet sop. 1t is related to
the sour sop, but Of a finer
texture and a more delious
taste. The sugar apple is high
IN energy value, supplying
mainly sugar, Sugar when
supplied in natures own form
as in the ripe sugar apple, is
more eaisly and naturally used
than concentrated table sugar.
This fruit contains vitamin C
and depending on whether the
sections are pure white or a
pale yellow, it may also con-
tain vitamin A.
In the green stage the sugar
apple is sometimes cooked, but
when allowed to ripen its fla
vor and taste is never married
to my knowledge, by any de-
gree of cooking. The ripe
sugar apple is distinctly a des-
sert fruit.
Other foods for the most
part have been refined, soften
ed, or cooked to a greater or
lesser degree, but fruits be-
cause of their pleasing flavor
and texture survive as our
fresh food, natural in it's hy-
genie effects.

the ranks of ordinary murder
mysteries. And the picture. due
to be released next May, has be-
come the talk of the British film
world.
Dmytryk expects ''Obsession" to
be as successful as some of the
low-budget pictures he has made
in the United States. The film
already has begun to be publicized
here through the strange coinci-
dence that its plot-concerning
an acid-bath murder-has been
enacted in real life here in Brit

was shot in 32l2 days and it cost
100000 less than its S660000
budget. BY an industry now
bathed in gloom partly brought on
by the failure of pictures costing
from five to seven millions, it is
considered nothing short of mirac-
ulous that any one could make
an A-film for a mere $460,000.
Dmytryk came here looking for
work after he and nine others

and working in Hollywood.

AMutter of fMisinterpretotion

DR.. Emmett J. Scott, whose letter
appears elsewhere on this page, believes
o recent Star editorial reflected discredit-
ably on Attorney George e. G. Hayes. The
Star does not share DR.. Scott's belief, and
would like to correct any such impression
as he holds by stating its own belief that
Mr. Hayes acted in complete good faith
In the case, which involved an application
by q client Of his for authorization to
write bonds. Judge Pine, in District Court,
6rst granted permission and then revoked
It. MI. Hayes and his associates carried
the case to the Court of Appeals, which
reversed the lower court. The Star, in
9dentally, believes the appellate court was
Correct.
In The Stars earlier editorial 1t was
stated that the bondsman applicant had
improved his position as result of mis-
representation in his application. 1t seemed
that this conclusion was the inevitable
result of Judge Pines ruling. MIR. Hayes
position was that there had been no mis-
representation on his part or on the part
Of his client He believed, as does DR..
Scott, that the issue arose from differ
ence of view as to how the relevant Ian
guage In the application should be inter-
preted, that his Interpretation was the
correct one and that no question of mis-
representation is involved. The Star is con-
fdent, and has been all along, that Mr..
Hayes is honest, earnest and sincere in his
view of the matter and that there was no
intent on his part to misrepresent the facts
TO the court. Although Judge Pine, in this
connection held that reasonable inter-
probation of the language used did consti-
tute misrepresentation, he, nevertheless,
was careful to point out that such repre-
sentation was not made by Mr.. Hayes
wilfully or with a purpose to deceive the
court. Judge Pine said: Nevertheless,
an led to the conclusion that 1t was given
b good faith, partly because Of the high

per cent. The modification of the rule
should permit greater return to trustees
without impairment Of safety. The situa-
ton here, Mr.. Cogswell pointed out, is true
elsewhere and twenty-one States in the
recent past have recognized changing con-
ditions by authorizing investment of legal
trust funds in qualified stocks. This is the
only known Jurisdiction, however. which
has issued an approved list of stocks and
bonds in addition to setting forth in its
rules the requirements for qualification.
Trustees and other fduciaries here have
this added protection.

standing of the applicants counsel" Mr..
Hayes was never in doubt that his Ian
guage was proper and in accordance with
his correct understanding OF the law and
court rules, and he argued that point
successfully in the appeal.
The issue in this case did not involve
any question of improperly on the part
of Mr.. Hayes. For many years he has
enjoyed the full confidence and respect OF
the bench and of his associates of the bar
and The Star regrets that anything in its
editorial should have been construed by
DR.. Scott or any one else as casting any
unfavorable reflection on Mr.. Hayes.

How to Be Slender

Feel Aive"-the Navy's new booklet on
avoirdupois and what to do about twill
not cheer anybody who thinks he can eat
as he pleases and control his waistline
through exercise. Exercise, though good
for the muscles, apparently is useless as
a reducer. To take of only pound OF
fat, for example, a man would have to
climb 48 times to the top of the Washing
ton Monument, run 432 miles at the rate
of mile every six minutes, or do STA
push-ups from the floor. In short, people
just kid themselves when they have their
cake and then try to work off the excess
weight by resorting to some form OF ath-
letics.
The only effective reducing exercise, &C
cording to "Feel Alive" is pushing your
self away from the table" That means
that people, II they tend to be- fatty and
want to be lean, have got to deny them
selves the bread and butter they love, or
that helping of potatoes and gravy, or
that piece of pie with the big blob of ice
cream on top of it. The Navy is emphatic
on that point. The way to take off five,
ten fifteen or twenty excess pounds is to

on. There is nothing else to do Except
for the congenitally slender, nobody can
feed himself to his hearts content and still
have good figure. It has to be either one
thing or the other-the bulge or the self
denial.
To food-lovers this may seem to be
hard choice, but the Navy has all sorts of
authority behind it. The fact must be
faced; the heavy eater must steel himself
to 1t; II he has enough vanity to be anx-
ious to keep his midrif within reasonable
bounds, he must be harsh to his appetite.
As a poet has put 1t:

your dinner

And neper touch bread ttu It's toasted

Broodened Investment Field

In MS recent statement TO the senate
Banking and Currency Committee, Thomas
B. McCabe chairman Of the Board Of the
Federal Reserve System, found cause for
concern In the reluctance Of Americans
to buy common stock Money continues
to flow into savings bonds,
savings banks, building and loan associa-
tions, life insurance, etc. But in the
process the sources of lot of risk capital
that went into Industrial expansion in the
past has dried up. One cause, Mr.. McCabe
believes, is the zest for security" which
seems to override the traditionally Amer
ican willingness to take risk in some
thing that is, at bottom, sound.
One of his recommendations was for a
liberalization of the investment opportu-
mites open to trustees and other aduciary
Institutions especially life insurance COM
panies. They are now restricted in vary
ing degree by State or Federal law from
investment in common or preferred stock.
The careful easing of such restrictions,
Mr.. McCabe believes, would release capital
for sound enterprise and produce higher
yield to the investor.
His thinking in this connection finds an
interesting parallel, though the approach
is from another direction, in the District
Courts modification last month of its rules
governing investment Of trust funds. Last
October Theodore Cogswell, register of
wills, recommended to District Court that
the field for investment of such funds be
broadened to include selected preferred
and common stock which met certain
requirements. This has been done, after
study by the Courts Committee on Legal
Investments and the District Bankers
Association and the new list of such secu-
rites, compiled by the Register Of Wills,
has just come off the press. The demand
for that publication, Mr.. Cogswell states,
is extraordinary and reflects a wide in
terest.
Mr.. Cogswell's recommendation for the
change noted that the old rule, adopted in
1887, worked well for time. Securities
were limited to bonds in certain categories
and real estate mortgage notes. But
present conditions have left the investor
of trust funds with little choice beyond
municipal and Government bonds, with q
yield of about 21a per cent, and severely
limited market in real estate mortgages.
On the other hand, there are many high
grade stocks, which meet the legal re-
! quirements Of the court. now yielding Z

Park Police Held At Fault
Regarding Drunkards

To the Editor Of The Star:

of this unnecessary condition to our Park
Police.
Our parks, especially those OF the down.

make the parks their homes during the day
as we'll as at night. One may walk through
a certain downtown park at any time OF the

about the lawn It certainly is disgraceful

many women, in drunken stupor. Often
they importune passersby for money with
which to buy more liquor.

It should be the work Of the Park Police
to maintain decency in our parks. However,
the majority of the Park Police force seem
to be Indifferent to the situation, and only
when an emergency call is made do they act
to remedy the state Of affairs. Their tndo-
lence is illustrated when they ride around
park in a squad car while pretending to
patrol the park. 1t is physically impossible
to observe the park from squad Car as the
trees and shrubbery obstruct the view.
II the inefficient police force feels indif-
ferent to the conditions Of our parks, they
must realize that they owe it to the public
to maintain an efficient service. Our parks
could and should be beautiful, immaculate
spots which citizens could feel free to fire.
