The heavier plastic bags used for Vegetables and fruits 1iave been widely and safely used to store leltovers in the refrigerator, carry damp articles on a trip and pro tect books and purses in the rain It's the misuse of any useful article which creates a hazard.

President Charles de Gaulle of France had an odd nickname during his student days at St Cyr, the French West Point. His fellow cadets called him "the Asparagus." Antonio Stradivaiius, the fa mous violin maker, once sent a collection of his fiddles lo London for sale at $10 each. They were returned lo him unsold because of the high price. One of those tame violins- today would be worth $20,000 or more. The only ground for divorce recognized by every stale in the union Is adultery.

The wooden truth: Despite the widespread Increase of plastic and light metal products in Ihis conn try, the average American still uses twice as much lumber as a Russian, four times as much as an Englishman, and six limes as much as a Frenchman. You hear a lot about how broke eld people are. But 40 per cent of all U.S. citizens over 65 have fluid assets of at least $2,000. Grownups are getting bigger, but babies at birth are smaller. The largest baby in medical his tory was a 325-pound tyke born in 1879 to Mrs. Anna Bates, a 7- fool-5'j-inch lady from Nova Scotia. Speaking of medicine, did you know that a physician is nol oouna Dy law lo accept a new patient even though there's no other doctor around? Unusual lady: Eleanor Roose velt has been praised for many qualities, but she has one virtue that makes her really rare among women. Despite her busy sched ule, she is almost never lale for an appointment. Some diclers fondly believe they can melt away fat through hot baths.

Common Slooks By SAM DAWSON AP Business News Analyst NEW YORK (API Common stocks are odds-out favorites with the pros who handle the personal trust accounts in American bank and trust companies. The Trust Division of the Ameri can Bankers Assn. estimates to day these funds total 49 billion dollars. And the banks have in vested 3(P billion of this, or 62 per cent, in common stocks. But who's responsible for the in vestments makes quite a differ ence. Of the .10 billion in common stocks, Itfli billion is in funds where the bank has no invest ment responsibility or shares il with others. Where the bank has sole responsibility, the common stock holding comes to 12 billion dollars, or 39 per cent of the total. Since tlje survey of the funds as at the end of 1958 was the first to be made, ABA has no compari son figures. It cannot say if the amounts in common stocks have been rising or falling, or il the total in trust accounts has been growing. Tho survey is based on a sam pling from 121 selected trust in stitutions with a total of 185.000 accounts. ABA says the estimates should be accurate within five per cent. The report sheds light on some of the investing habits of Americans. According In ABA figures, the nearly 500 billion dollars in trust funds compare with about 277 bil lion in the market value of all common stocks listed on the New York Stock Exchange, with 86 bil lion dollars in reserves of life in surance companies (less premium notes and policy loans). The report lists 60 billion dol lars in time deposits in commer cial banks, 48 billion in savings and loan associations lless shares pledged against mortgage loans or investments by the U.S. govern ment, 34 billion in time deposits in mutual savings banks and 13 billion in mutual funds held by open-end companies. Americans have many other bil lions invested in various kind of government bonds, in corporate bonds, in pension funds, and in real cstalc. In handling the personal (rust accounts, ABA says, the banks in addition lo common stocks have invested nearly eight billion dol lars in state and municipal se curities; 2'i billion in U.S. gov ernment securities: almost as much in corporate bond and de bentures: 2'j billion in preferred stocks; 671 million in mortgages and,2'4 billion dollars in partici pation in common trust funds. These are funds authorized by law to be established by a trust department to combine money be longing to various trust accounts in its care. There are more than 3(10 of these in Ihe nation. They aim at cutting investment han dling costs. Tli Lighter Side By FRANK ELEAZER WASHINGTON (UPI) - A Sen ate secretary with a number of years service behind her was stopped the other day by a Capi tol guide with the suggestion she might profit by taking the offi cial tour of the building. "I can't do it today," she hedged, without denying his prcm ise. "I don't have on my halter and shorts " Officials say it isn't actually mandatory that tourists wear next to nothing when they visit our law factory here. On the other hand it has become obvious in the recent hot spell that they aren't required to wear anything much more than that either. Several summers ago House members got so distracted by what the visiting ladies weren't wearing that a rule was imposed banning shorts in the galleries ex cept where worn by girls un der 10. There is no evidence that at tendance fell off among the House members. However, it was ascer tained within a few days that dozens of the rejected visitors not only were over 10 but over 21 and were registered voters in some congressional district. So that rule was repealed. Now. the rule for visitors in both House and Senate galleries is come as you are. And several lawmakers have been heard late ly to comment on the number ol women who appear to have re ceived this message while out taking the sun. - Male and female, the taxpayers are visiting the Capitol again this summer in droves. And more than one jostled statesman has been moved lo observe, as he beat his way through the corridors, that some of Ihem acted as if they owned the place. "Where are all the memhers of Congress?" They usually want to know alter finding only a dozen of Ihe House's 436 members, or Ihree of the Senate's 98, on the House and Senate floors. The an swer is, they are in the ollices answering letters from home, and attending to other such priority chores. 'Where is Ihe President?" Is another all-time favorite inquiry, a sad commentary on what they must be teaching in the civics classes back home. This one is so standard, in fact that the guides now try to head it off by an early announcement that the President lives and works at another local tourist attraction, called the White House. The Capitol tour takes 35 min utes and I don't know anywhere else you can pick up so much history for 25 cents. There is also the chance you will bump into somebody whose name you can mention on the postcards you write to your friends. One presumed student ol the current political scene, aged boul 10. was spotted recently hanging around the entrance to elevator marked "senators only." After the passage of enough orators and presidential prospects lo satisfy the most ar dent celebrity hunter, somebody linally asked this visitor what he had on his mind. "I'm waiting to see Harmon Killcbrew," he is said to have an swered. Another elevator, I am embar rassed to say, is marked press only." A lady observed Ihis sign above the call button and asked, "What do they think we are going to do, pull it?' When apprised that the sign meant the elevator was reserved for us newsmen, she asked, with some reason, how come? "Be cause nobody else wants to ride with us." a harassed reporter re plied. SHORT RIBS By Frank O'Neal (READY....) iir,Y 4l: Aa S4Vl; 71 f ALL RIGHT, SOU WAn ANG6!: V1 SAtS&T ,7 , While House vs By MERR1.MAN SMITH L'PI White House Reporter WASHINGTON (UPI Back stairs at the White House: Alter President Eisen h o w e r leaves oflice in 1961, he might live in Washington a good part of each year. In act, there are some well founded rumors to this elfecl well-founded to the extent that several persons normally quite familiar with the activities of the Eisenhower family have been talk ing guardedly about essentially the same story. Generally, their version isf his: The President and his wife will lake an apartment in one of Washington's leading hotels and live there on a more or less permanent basis. This would not mean their being in actual resi dence all of the lime in- Washing ton, but .their apartment would be headquarters. Naturally, they're expected to spend some time at their farm in Gettysburg, but somewhat as they do now frequent week ends and more protracted periods several times a year. A 12-months-a-year diet of Get tysburg could be quite lonely for the Eisenhowers, and being gre garious people they're not ex pected to go into hibernation on the farm come Jan. 20, 1961. There is one report that the ho tel apartment has been selected and reserved. In addition to com fortable living quarters, there would be a combination study and office for the President and working space for a secretary. II this is true, it sounds like he might be planning to write an other book when he leaves office. On the other hand, it could mean nothing more than a sensi ble preparation to cope with the flood of mail that follows a chief executive long after he departs from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Here in Washington, Ihe Eisen howers would be close to a num ber of old friends. They could make trips lo New York and Au gusta, Ga., directly from the na tion's capital without the slight, but added detail of having to trav el first from Gettysburg which has no air or railroad passenger service. This could he more than a casual consideration, because aft er January, 19H1, there'll be no fleet of limousines and helicopters at the disposal of the family ex cept what they provide for them selves. If the President continues to play golf a good bit after he leaves office, he'd undoubtedly prefer the nearby Burning Tree Club lo the Gettysburg Country Club where he knows compara tively few of the members. For reasons known only to Ihem. the White House Staff al most never announces the fact more ollen than nol, Ihe Presi dent goes back lo his oflice in Ihe late afternoons lo work some more after he comes in from a round of golf. This part of his working schedule barely gets any attention. Alumnae Today is Monday, July l.", the 194th day of (he year, with 171 more days to follow in 1959. The moon is in its first quarter. The evening stars are Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. On this date in history: In 1787, Congress passed the Northwest Ordinance, setting up the first organized government outside Ihe 13 original states. In 1863, opposition to the injus tices of Ihe draft law flared into riols and virtual anarchy in New York City. Before the riots were over, more than 1,000 persons were killed. In 1865. Horace Greeley gave (his advice to federal civil serv ants: "Washington is not a place to live in. The rents are high, the (nod is bad. the dust is disgusting and Ihe morals are deplorable.
