[Modern Etiquette
By Roberta Lee
1. What makes a good conver-
sationalist?
2. What should a person do
with his left hand while eating at
the table?
8. Should one always give a tip
in an inconspicuous manner?
4.. Is it proper to, give out any
explanations in the event of a
broken engagement?
5. What should a girl do at a
party when an inebriated guest
insists upon kissing her?
6. Is it correct to use a chef -
lbw. dish at dinner,
1.'A good, conversationalist is
not merely one who talks well
hrself, but who knows how to
draw others into discussion, and
who knows how to give others the
opportunity to appear to advan-
tage instead of attempting to
display his own superiority. 2.
Unless the left band is in use,
which is of .course necessary at
times, it should be kept in the
lap. 3. Yes, always. 4. No; it is
much better taste to say nothing,
not even to one's most intimate
friends. It is wise to bear in mind
the words of the old proverb:
"Least said, soonest mended." 5.
Tell this guest frankly and posi-
tively, without displaying auger;
that his actions are objection.
able. If he persists, speak to your
host or hostess. 6. No. the chafing
dish is for a supper or breakfast.
A nautical mile is equivalent
to 6,080 feet, or nearly one-sixth
more than a land, or statute, mile.
WHAT SCIENCE
�S
MUG
COLD PREVENTION
Three Lectors in Minneapolis
have been conducting large-scale
experiments among students at
the University of Minnesota to see
whether colds can be prevented
by taking substantial closes of
vitamins, New Republic reports.
Their conclusion is that they can-
not.
It is true that the students who
took a multiple -vitamin prepara-
tion reported a decrease of more
than 60 per cent in the number
of colds during the winter. The
trouble is that when a similar
group of students were given pills
of no therapeutic effect whatever,
they also showed an almost ex-
actly parallel reduction.
The doctors say that this effect
is noticeable with almost every
sort of experimental treatment to
prevent colds among large num-
bers of people. Whatever you
give them, even if it is only bread
pills, the number of illnesses is
much reduced.
Is this because many colds are
psychological in origin, and
something about the experhnent
aids the psychology?
Is it because people under ob-
servation take better care of
themselves than is normal? Are
they perhaps ashamed of catching
cold and do they, part of the
time, conceal the feet that they
have done so?
Here is an interesting •prob-
lem of medicine.
DERELICT IN TOULON
HOW CAN I??
By Anne Ashley
Q. How can I remove a heat
stain from a highly -polished ar-
ticle of furniture?
A, Apply the following in or-
der, using a separate cloth for
each: Kerosene, alcohol and sweet
or linseed oil. Rub .the last in
well until the spot is no longer
visible.
Q. How can I avoid loss of vita-
mins when cooking vegetables?
A. A good way to cook vege-
tables is by steaming. This re-
duces the loss of minerals and
vitamins and is also economical,
as one may cook several different
vegetables at the same time.
Q. How can I keep syrup from
crystallizing?
A. Any boiled syrup can be
prevented from crystallizing by
the addition of a pinch of baking
soda while it is cooking.
A. What is a good cleanser for
brass, copper and pewter?
A. A mixture of salt with an
equal quantity of flour and vin-
egar, .Apply a paste made up of
these ingredients and allow to
retrain on an hour, and then rub
off. Wash with water and polish.
Q. How can I shorten the
time it takes to peel apples and
tomatoes?
A. Steep the apples in boiling
water for a minute. Tomatoes
should be placed in a colander,
then in hot water for a moment,
and the skins will come off easily.
Didn't Have Jeep:.
Not An American
•
A sign of the motor age: A
Senegalese soldier shot two Ger-
man parachute troopers who
claimed they were Americans. He
explained to his French command-
ing officer: "1 knew they were
_not Americans because they did
not have a jeep."

We believe the shares of STEEP ROCK at

Some of the stupidest animals
have as singularly accurate a
sense of time. A shepherd whom
I knew experimented with a flock
of sheep, into whose pen he de-
posited a supply of roots at a
punctual hour in the afternoon.
If he was a minute or two late
every sheep was on its feet; 11

"Mow did you come to fall

"I didn't come to fall in,"
he said, "I came to fish."
The mistress of the house
heard the bell ring and saw a
Chinese peddler standing at the
front door. Quickly retreating,
she called out to the maid: "There
is a Chinese at the door. You go,
Ella,"
That was too much for the ped-
dler. He stuck his head in the door
and shouted indignantly, "You
go 'ells yourself!"
Husband: "What extra-

Wife: "Oh, no I haven't.
