Modern Etiquette
1. What is one of the most
charming traits of one's person
ality?
2. What is the proper ma-
terial for calling cards?
8. Is it necessary when writing
for information regarding a trip
that one expects to take or for
the tickets, to enchr.se a stamp?
4. Is it proper for an office
employee to hum or whistle while
working?
6. What is the chief requisite
of a good letter?
6. Does a woman ever wear
a hat with full evening dress?
ANSWERS
1. To be a good listener, even
f the stories one is forced to hear
are not always interesting, neither
are yours. The habit of polite
attention is not a nerd one to
acquire and will win many friends.
2. White bristol board, glazed
or unglazed, and of medium
thickness.
8. No. You are not asking a
favor in this instance and in no
way under obligation.
4. In most cases this is apt to
prove lather annoying to the
other employees in your immedi-
ate vicinity, who may be trying
to concentrate on some problem.
It is more thoughful not to in-
dulge in any disturbing noises.
5. To have something interest-
ing to say. One should never
force himself to write when he
_hags nothing of interest to com-
niunicate.
6. No.

Gas Rationing
A reduction of one-sixth in the
basic gasoline ration for Febru-
ary, llearch and April has been
announced in London, England.
Private owners of automobiles
of 20 horsepower or over will re-
ceive 20 gallons for the three

What Science
Is Doing
450 MILES PER GALLON -IF
Gasoline is sufficiently power-
ful to propel a car 450 miles to
the gallon, petroleum technolo-
gists say, if means could be de-
vised to obtain complete effici-
ency of consumption.
With fourteen gallons of gaso-
line a new model of any popular
make could do 6,300 miles at
twenty miles per hour on a per-
fectly level road, provided there
were no power losses through fric-
tion, heat radiation, wind resis-
tance, and a few other fetors.
The trouble, it is explained, is
not in the gasoline, one gallon of
which contains 99,000,000 foot-
pounds of potential power, but in
the difficulty of building vehicles
and highways which will permit
complete advantage to be taken
of this dynamic fuel,
Scientific progress will do much
to improve operating efficiency of
the motor vehicle, and azo will
improve the highway, it is believ-
ed, but the complete elimination
of power losses cannot even be
imagined as the present time -
and probably not in the future.
FROST -CRACKED HIGHWAYS
A recently developed and effec-
tive method of preventing frost
heaves from cracking and break-
ing pavements relies on rock salt
as a road base, both -in new con-
struction and in repair work and
patching, The salt reduces the
freezing point of moist or water-
logged soil, but it is no .sub -smote
for adequate drainage, excavation,
or backfill with granular meaer-
lel. Highway engineers in the
Northeastern United S a ea, •as
well as in Canada, report that
practically no frog heaving haa
occurred Un sast-trea:e .sub
grades, even though the area oat
of salt incorporated is ' e a 'y is
only five pr ends pee s.,aa-e yard
of area.

Q. -How should tissue paper be

A. -Tissue paper, alightly moi-

It leaves no lint, and does not, of

A. -Baked bananas are delic-

Australia Mobilizes
Men and Resources
Prime Minister John Curtin an-
nounced recently the war cabinet
had been directed to mobilize
all human and material resources
in Australia for the defence of
the commonwealth against the
Japanese.
Austalia was put on a full: war
footing in answer to Curiin's call
for mobilization of the island con-
tinent's manpower and resources.
"That means clearly and spec-
ifically that every person in
this country is now at the service -
of the government to work for the
defence of Australia," he said,
in a mobilization statement.
"Only two things stand between
us and the overthrow of every -
we have and hope to have. These
are the heroism and fighting pow-
er of our men going to battle and
the indusiee, zeal and devotion
of the men left behind!'
In his statement on mobiliza-
tion, Curtin said:
"We have reached the stage
when a new way of life is impel-
led on us. All your leisure now
-whether dos to industrial regu-
lation or your fortunate pc"ix-tion.
-must be devoted to the service
of your fellow men ..
"The challenge has been flung
down. Adversity has never cowed
you, overwhelming odds have ne-
ver intimidated you, and today I
call on you to invoke all the best
qualities of your ancestry. Go
forth to the workshop and fac-
;fry to work there as long as you
can ,r
Marginal Mines
Resume Operations
S n e. the price of mercury has
gaze :vel from $162 to $2155 for a
fl -aa-. of 75 pounds in the last
gear, some of the marginal mines
have beet able to resume opera-
ions, states the Windsor Star.
The prices have been the highest
for any prolonged period since
the lase war,
Mexico produces about .18,000
flasks of mercury annually. Ja-
pan used to bid higher than. the
Crited States for the metal, but
the Americans have peen getting
the total Mexican export for the
last few months. Apart from pro-
duction in the United States, the
Mexican mines provide most of
the mercury used by the Ameri-
cans,
The way the Japanese were
purchasing this Mexican. mercury
is another proof of the prepara-
tions that were made by Japan
for the present war. Tokio ex-
tended a long arm to gather in the
necessities for munitions, while
other countries still hoped peace
could he sustained.

A dapper little man applied for

Farms and. Homes
Are Danger Spots
So you think you're "safe at
home".
More than 30,000 persons lose
their lives annually in the United
States largely beeause of literal
acceptance of that expression, the
National Safety Council said in
starting a new phase of a nation-
wide emergency safety campaign.
Col. John Stillwell, council
president, said: "It is within our
power to change the conditions
which permit 37,000 deaths and
over 5,000,000 injuries annually
in farm and home accidents. We
must search out the formule for
making our homes the havens of
safety they are mistakenly be-
lieved to be."
W. H. Cameron, managing di-
rector of the council, asserted "in
85 percent of all accidents there
is a human failure of some kind,"
National Safety Council records
show home accidents are second
only to traffic mishaps as the na-
tion's chief killer, 32,000 and
40,000 respectively in 1941. Farin
accidents fatalities totalled 4,500
In 1940, making agriculture the
nation's most dangerous industry.
More than 10,000,000,000 con-
tainers were used by the United.
States canning industry in 1939.
