Steady Rise In Life Span
CINCINNATI, O., Sept. 5 (INSl-—Americans piled up an average “interest rate" of four months added life expectany for each year of the last three decades. Dr. Chester Alexander, visiting sociology professor at the University of Cincinnati, says the average American now lives 66.7 years due to medical advancement and extensive health education programs. Dr. Alexander, a specialist in longevity studies at Westminster College, PTilton, Mo,, also said a study of 20 countries indicated New Zealanders live longest, 67.5 years. More intelligent people outlive their less gifted brethern. Euccatiors, according to fir. Alexander, have the greatest expectancy. Uawyers, engineers and naturalists follow in close order. By 1970, Dr. Alexander estimates there will be fifteen million people iin the United States over 65 years of age. or double the preseit figure. Basing future predictions on this trend, the specialist expects a number of changes in present day society. He predicts an increase in government old age pensions and a new branch of social work specializing in the care of elderly people. "Muscular energy" will become less and less of an important employment factor as industry discovers older persons past the present retirement age can operate efficient machinery as well as the younger element. The Warren Township Home Economics Club will meet at the Community House on Wednesday. Sept. 7th at 2 p. m. DQT.

LONDON. Sept. 5—(INS) A cast-off high heeled shoe, legendary symbol of a broken engagement in some parts of Poland. gave Scotland Yard detecUvea the solution to. a double
killing.
The shoe was found in the room of a house in west London when attractive 22 year old Elizabeth Kla.-isen from Munster, Germany, was found murdered. Dying by her was Stefan Mizgalski, ox-Polish soldier, who had boasted he Mould marry Elizabeth or kill her if she re-
fused.
Evidence about the discarded shot was giv. a d. ring the 'nques’ The wan the onlv article of the girl's clothing out ) of place as she lay dead on her ; divan bod. A witness explained that on betrothal in some parts of Poland it was the custom of the young man to give the girl a pair of fine leather high-heeled
siloes.
Should the girl change her affections, she took off her left shop or. in moments of anger threw it back, which meant ail tyas finished. Home Office pathologist Dr. I Keith Simpson, said an attempt had been made to strangle the girl before her throat was cut with a razor blade. Mizgalski hid a deep wound which must have been self-in-
flicted.
The jury decided that Elizabeth had left word from the dead that her killer was the Pole.

sponsibilities, and
Whereas it is important tbit the education of these young boys and girls of school age be {continued in order that In th ■ f future they may take their rightful place in industry, business and the professions Now, Therefore, I.

PITTSBURGH, Sept. 5 (INS) President Truman heap” I praise on the 81st Congress today as he reopened his drive for repeal of the Taft-Hartley Act. The President had nothing but good to say of the present Congicsh, while he bitterly attacked its predecessor, the Republicaneon! rolled 80th Congress and what he termed “special inter<*ts" opposing his labor and farm programs. The Chief Executive’s conciliatory tone toward Congress provided the major surprise of his address in which he d his appeal for the 21-p 'ative program he campu >3
last year.
Mr. Truman told a Laoo. Day rally at the Allegheny countj fair that the issue of the TaftHartley Law "Is far from s.i.Ued." He declared: "We are going to continue t> fight for repeal of that repreresive law until it is wiped off the statute books." Mr. Truman was scheduled to fly from Pittsburgh to Des Moines, Iowa, for another major address this afternoon.

INDIANAPOLIS. Sept. 5 — (INS) It isn't the butcher's fault that steak was tough, you ran blame the cook. That is a summation of C. G. Bowers, who is in charge of the National livestock and Meat Board's display in the Agricultural building at the Indiana State Fair. Bowes asserted; "There is no excuse for the housewife who serves tough
meat."
Admitting that most of us are unable to afford T-bone steaks and standing rib roasts regularly, Bowes said if the less expensive cuts aren't tender its the fault of the cook. He said: “Nearly every woman has her pet notions on how meat should be cooked. However, the Department of Agriculture, in conjunction with many colleges and universities, has spent 23 yea in research in which more than 10C,000 cuts of meat have been cooked in every conceivable manner.” Bowes insists: “We are anxious to help the • housewife take advantage of the authentic findings." He added ( "That is what we are doing at our display at the Fairgrounds. For instance, millions of pounds of meat have been sizzled away as a result of cooking at too high temperatures. Low temperature cooking Is much more economical and tasty." Information on the five major methods of cooking: roasting, broiling, pan broiling, braizing and cooking in water, are ” callable at the exhibit, as '■ Dl as tips on carving and select g of
cuts.
