From the Saturday Stumper

A clue from today’s Newsday Saturday Stumper, 42-Down, five letters: “Keeps from littering.” No spoilers; the answer is in the comments.

Today’s puzzle, by Brad Wilber, is a tough one. Finishing a Saturday Stumper is always cause for minor self-congratulation.

The Saturday Stumper doesn’t add the question mark that crossword-makers sometimes add to a clue to signal trickery. I am realizing that what I need to do is to imagine every baffling Saturday Stumper clue as ending in a question mark or appearing in a blog post. :)
