ROBERT BROWNING What color is your automo bile? Did your wife decide on the color? If she didn't you must have her well trained. You are one in a thousand among hus bands. Anyway, research indi cates dull-colored cars are in volved in the most collisions. Es pecially green cars. Those in the least number of such accidents are red cars. With yellow and white cars next in order named. Plsns Not Was nice and cool for the foot ball openers in the New York area this season. It is not always thus. I once played in a late Sep tember football game in Hobo ken, N.J., against Stevens Insti tute. The temperature was 83 in the shade. I played the entire game. I lost 14 pounds. Yes, sir. That's right, 14 pounds in one afternoon. I wasn't overweight either. Weighed 190 at start of game. Asking Queries from clients. Q. Is it true that London policemen do not cary pistols or any type of guns? A. That's right. Members of the metropolitan police force of London are not armed. Q. Can a bachelor adopt a child in this country? A. Yes. sir. However, it is a very difficult procedure and is seldom done. Incidentally, Pierre-Louis Guerin, the Paris showman who is a bachelor, has six adopted children. The young sters live with him on his mag nificent estate at Chantilly. Q. In what opera was Caruso ap pearing in San Francisco at the time of the great earthquake and fire in that city? A. Carmen. Guide to Gals Leo (July 24-Aug. 23) females have a very strong belief in the equality of men and women. When a Leo woman wants a ca reer, and she usually does, her husband should not interfere. Not that it would do him any good but would make things very unpleasant. The Leo girls are brilliant, clever, witty and sweetly but effectively dynamic. They are excellent home mana gers if they have all the house keeping gadgets on the market plus a maid and a cock. They are excellent mothers. They will stand for no interference as to the manner in which a child should be reared. Especially not by mothers-in-law. Leo women, when aroused, throw things at their mothers-in-law. Or so say the stargazers. These Measurements The quoting of the bust, waist and hip measurements of female celebrities is currently much overdone. However, if your wife, daughter or sister-in-law aspire to be victorious in a beauty con test or wish to acquire a well paying position as a model, it will be well for them to note that practically all contest win ners and high salaried models have waist measurements of either 23 or 24 inches. Common Cold When winter comes from around the corner do you suffer irom that highly irritating and, at times, dangerous affliction known as the common cold? How about sinus trouble? What preventive measures do you take against these ailments? I heard of a man who decided to try wearing an old fashioned flannel nightshirt in the winter. Also a sleeping cap. He says he hasn't had a cold since so doing. Nor is he bothered with sinus trouble any more. He credits the night cap with having prevented the sinus trouble. There were 17 horses coupled in the field at Belmont park re cently. Was a 28-horse race. So you could have 17 horses run ning for a two .buck bet. The ladies present really went for that seeming bargain. However, not one field horse finished in the money! Nixon Denounces Adlai's Criticism Washington lU.R) Vice Pres ident Richard M. Nixon Sunday denounced Adlai E. Stevenson's criticism of the adminstration as "ill-judged, ill-timed, ill- phrased remarks." Nixon said in a statement that although he would prefer to cam paign on issues rather than per sonalities, "I intend to nail per sonally on the spot every dis tortion and every misrepresen tation of the Eisenhower record by Mr. Stevenson." The vice president will leave Tuesday on another two-week campaign trip. It will take him first to Texas and the Far West and then into the Midwest. When the current political campaign began, flixon said, the Democratic presidential candi date said it was his intention to debate the issues in an in telligent; fair and forthright manner. "Unfortunately, it is now ap parent that Mr. Stevenson's ad visers have convinced him that in order to promote his ambi tions he must adopt for his cam paign an operating method that is cut close to the political cloth of the man he has accepted as his associate in this campaign, former President Harry Tru man," Nixon said. Nixon, Kefaiiyer Agree on Necessity To Preserve Israel Washington U.R) Vice President Richard M. Nixon and Sen. Estes Kefauver agreed Sun day that preserving the state of Israel is in the best interests of the United States. But the two vice presidential candidates, in speeches to the 59th annual Zionist convention, differed as to whether the Eisen hower administration is doing enough to help establish peace in the Middle East Nixon said that President Eisenhower and Secretary of State John Foster Dulles have worked ceaselessly to promote peace between Israel and its Arab neighbors. This, he said, will continue to be one of the administration's "top o b j e c tives." He said the administration recognizes that "preservation of the independence of Israel is in the best interests" of the United States and "of world peace it self." He said that making the Mid dle East crisis a political issue "will serve neither the interests of Israel or the United States." Kefauver, who spoke at a dif ferent time but from the same platform as Nixon, attacked ad ministration Middle East poli cies and Mr. Eisenhower person ally. He said "pious platitudes from no matter how high a source will never bring about the kind of peace for which the whole world yearns." He also charged that Dulles helped bring on Egypt's seizure of the Suez canal by offering U.S. help to the Egyptians to build the Aswan dam and then backing down later on the offer. He said this was a "high price to pay for the privilege of watch ing Mr. Dulles show off like the handsome young man on the fly ing trapeze." Eugene Gasoline Price Cut in War Eugene U.R) Several Eu gene service station operators have cut pump prices as much as three cents per gallon in the past week to meet competition as a price war among dealers flared. .

Yogi (catcher Berra) just called 'em and I just threw 'em." Washington Sen. Albert Gore (D-Tenn.) on politics! spending: i ". . . It is healthier for both political parties to receive many contributions than to depend on a relatively few major ones." Cairo Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser on the future of the United Nations: "The United Nations today is passing through a decisive ex perience in its history, which will determine whether it is to win the respect of world public opinion or to collapse as did the League of Nations." . New York Dodger catcher Roy Campanella summing up Sun day's 6-2 loss to the Yankees: "He's (Yankee pitcher Tom Sturdivant) a smart pitcher, but we got a smart one tomorrow. Old Sal's (Maglie) pitching, ain't he?" Is That So? Want to be a master woods man? Then gather round you've got to learn to cook that indis pensible dish, bean-hole beans. It's as basic as bread and but ter. Besides, it s a perfect out door dish, and can be prepared so far in advance that it can save the evening for a weary, rain-soaked pilgrim coming in from a day's hunting or fishing. And there should be leftovers for days to come. For turning them out, you'll need a tin or aluminum camp kettle with a cover that fits down snug on the outside. The last is essential. Soak the beans overnight. Or, to shorten the process, parboil 'em. To further the process, add a teaspoon of baking soda to break down their resistance. Then parboil. Pour off this water and add boiling water to cover the beans to a quarter of an inch. Sprinkle in some salt not much. Add brown sugar (why carry white sugar into the woods at all, it isn't nearly as tasty) about a cupful to every two quarts of beans and water. If you have lemons, de-seed and add the squeezings of two. Cover the beans with cross-strips or slabs of dried salt pork. Think that does it? Far from it. Anyone with the name of camp cook could have done as much; what comes now calls for the master's intuition, based upon experience. I trust you have a bull cook, perhaps you know him by the title of assistant. See that he has prepared a pit, at least two feet deep, and a blazing fire atop it. A sandy lake beach or river bar of course is by far the best easiest to dig, cleanest, and safest regarding fire hazard. He should have piled . on all the wood he could find hardwood preferably. The big blaze will not only heat the pit but also the soil around it. And leave you a good bed of coals. Nestle Kettle Into Coals Now, shovel out half the coals and nestle your bean kettle pray erfully and tenderly into the re maining coals. Heap up the sides of your kettle with coals, and, if you have enough, over the top. Then pile on the hottest sand or earth until you have a mound. This done, go off blissfully on your day's fishing, or hunting carrying a light snack of dried prunes and chocolate in the bandana tied to your hip or tucked down inside the back of your shirt. Figure on getting back with in six hours or whatever time your intuition calls for: and here is where tenderfoots are separ ated from old campaigners By IUGENI BURNS Ranger-Naturalist knowing how long to wait. If too long, the kettle may be filled with shriveled inedible beans; if not cooked long enough, 'the beans will be only partly done but they can be salvaged by finishing the job in a frying pan. To help your intuition along, know this: dry sand requires the shortest time; loam the long est. Wet sand, in between. But the only way to learn that I know of, is to try, and try again. But it's worth a failure or two in learning. Then, mastered, you're is the Ph.D of C.C. (Doc tor of Philasophy in Camp Cook ing.) Done right, the beans will be rich brown, each retaining its shape but yet soft and tender, with the pork cooked and its fat sinking to cover all the beans. And because they were cooked in a bean-hole, nothing of the flavor escapes as it does in oven or frying pan. Warming Up Improves Don't worry ever about hav ing too many. Each time they are warmed up in a frying pan. they improve. For the first meal, I'd suggest add nothing: take 'em straight to get the real unadult erated taste of beans: next meal or three removed, for variety, add browned onions arid season with soya sauce and catsup or Worchestershire sauce alone. I'll guarantee that will take, care of all the leftover before you turn your hand to a potfull of hobo stew which we'll consider at another time when you're through drooling. (Copyright, 19S6.
