The will of Miss Engeline Krist,
56, was on file in probate court
Friday. It provided that the
Cleveland Clinic Foundation use
her savings of more than $10,000
to provide a bed and nursing and
medical care for "spinsters yet un

disease and unable to pay for
treatment.
Miss Krist wrote the will two
days before she died Sept. 30. She
aiea of cancer of the breast, dis
covered about a year ago, too late
for an operation. At Cleveland
Clinic she agreed to undergo ex
perimental treatment, her doctor
said, and in return got medicine

She came here as a child from
Albania, and her chief concern In
life, those who knew her said,
appeared to be for future security.

Poison Oak Leaves Found
Good Horse Fodder
BERKELEY, Cal. U.R Horses
eat poison oak leaves with relish,
according to Arthur W. Sampson.
professor of forestry at the Uni
versity of California college of
agriculture.
Poison oak is as nourishing for
livestock as most shrubs and more
so than grasses, but most animals
eat very little of.it, Sampson says.
It is more nourishing early in
the season but maintains a high
level of protein content during
later scages. Horses eat poison
oak without damage to their di
gestive tracts, and not even the
slightest blister appears on the
outside of their faces, Sampson
said.

Watching Own 'Rescue'.
Considered Unfair
TWO RIVERS, Wis. 0J.ID Coast
Guardsmen who dragged a stream
here were not amused when they
discovered the "victim" watching
the rescue work.
They called police, who arrested
Donald Berger, 26, on a drunk and
disorderly charge. Police said
Berger had an argument with a
woman, who called for help. Ber
ger jumped into the river, swam
downstream, went home to
change his clothes, and returned
to watch the rescue operations.
He claimed there was no law
against his swimming. But author
ities disagreed.
Atomic Engines
For Subs Seen
WASHINGTON U.R Ad.
Louis E. Denfeld, chief of naval
operations, disclosed Thursday
that the Atomic Energy Commis
sion has been asked to speed ef
forts toward ' developing atomic
engines for submarines.
Denfield said in an interview
that the study of atomic propul
sion for any use is still in the very
early stages and that it prooaoiy
will require "several years" to get
practical results.
But. he added, "we are pushing
for the development of atomic
energy engines tor ships, especial
ly submarines."
Chief Weapons
In event of war, he explained,
submarines along with aircraft
carriers will be the Navy's chief
weapons.
The admiral said the Navy Is
experimenting with several new
types of underwater craft. -The
emphasis is on higher speed and
cheaper and wider range.
When the atomic propulsion
dream comes true, he said, "we
will have the submarines ready to
use it on."
'Very Easy'
Asked about reports that Russia
Is arming submarines with rockets
for land bombardment, Denteld
said only that "it would be very
easy to put rockets on subma
rines."
If war should come, he said, the
United States should have radar
screen of submarines as well as a
radar screen made up of land sta
tions.
High Cost
He said the cost of a system of
radar stations would be "very
high" but that both would be
necessary because the land sta
tions would have much farther
range than subs.
Radar picket subs at sea could
pick up planes headed for the
U.S., he said and the land stations
could pick up the planes as they
neared this continent.
The Navy is now experimenting
with two radar picket subs con
verted from regular fleet-type
subs.

Tiny Babies
Like Glasses!
LOS ANGELES OHS Six-month-old
babies like to wear
glasses, the American College of
Surgeons learned Thursday.
Dr. Colby Hall of the University
of Southern California described
an operation to remove cataracts
from infants' eyes, after which the
baby is fitted with glasses.
"You might suppose that a
baby would object to wearing
glasses," he said "It is amazing,
however, that babies, all of whom
are anxious to see as much of the
world as possible, soon understand
what they do and even object if
they are taken off."

Group Working to Help Save
Housewife Unnecessary Effort
NEW YORK UP) Take I look
at your elbows, madams, If kit
chen chores are back-breaking
drudgery.
Efficiency engineers, watching
women baking pies, peeling pota
toes and washing dishes, have
found that the comfortable, rest
full height of your "working sur
faces" parallels your elbows.
So, if your kitchen counter Is
waist high, stop worrying about
that pain in your back. Start re
arranging your kitchen. It's not as
hard or expensive as it might
seem.
Easier Work
The New York Heart Assn., in
terested in saving the energy of
thousands of homemakers who
must take things easy, has devel
oped a "work simplification"
kitchen; Primarily designed for
women with impaired hearts, most
of the ideas can be happily adop
ted by the hale and hearty.
The heart kitchen has two work
counters: one for such activities
as baking which use long handled
implements; the other for food
preparation using short utensils.
The baking counter is 32 Inches
high so don't have to reach up to
wield an egg beater. The other
other is set 36 inches above the
floor, so you can scrape carrots
with arms comfortably placed, el
bow height, in front of you. Of
course, if you are an out-size, it's
always possible to work sitting
down from a chair which places
you at the proper working height.
No' Waste Motion
Much thought and effort has
gone into the actual planning and
arrangement of the kitchen. The
committee, headed by Dr. Lillian
Gllbreth, efficiency engineer, con
centrated on putting every item in
spot where it could be reached
without wasted steps.
Fresh vegetables, sauce pans,
knives and such items are stored
near the sink, because you usually
use them with water and lt
saves a special trip to the faucet.
Roasting pans, skillets, canned
vegetables (and the can opener)
are within arm's reach ol tne
stove point of original use.
Within Reach
It takes extra energy to bend
and stretch, so the experts have
used higher shelves and low
drawers to stow utensils and food)
which are used infrequently, shal
low shelves, they found, are work
savers, too. You don't have to re
move a stack of saucers to reach
the frying pan back of it.
By rearranging one woman's
kitchen In an experiment, Dr. Gil
breth and her associates were able
to cut down to one-sixth the num
ber of steps a woman took to
make a coffee cake She had been
wasting five out of every six steps
by poor planning.
The Heart Association's work
simplification program isn't con
fined to the kitchen. Its experts
recommend long-handled dust
pans and brushes, as well as mops
and carpet sweepers, to save
backs. They suggest using dust
mitts Instead of cloths, so both
hands can be used at the job,
They sing of ironing joys, when
the board is low and the ironer is
seated comfortably at a chair.
They advocate lightweight metals
in all utensils used,
Largest Group
"Including the women with car
diac diseases, there are between
four and five million disabled
housewives throughout the coun
try who have reason to conserve
their energy output," said Dr.
Gllbreth. "These women unques
tionably constitute the largest
group of employed disabled in the
United States.
"But every homemaker who is
interested in eliminating or mini
mizing the work often associated
with kitchen chores should be
interested in the things that make
life easier for the disabled." '
