MODERN
ETIQUETTE
BY ROBERTA LEE
1, Should one use the most
ornate and flowery words he
Wows when writing a letter?
2, What is the first test of
correct dressing?
3. Is it correct to use candles
on the table for Christmas din-
ner, served at noon?
4. Should one cultivate the
friendship of a person who is al-
ways impertinent?
5. Ls it good manners for a
person to clear his throat with
a harsh "a -hem"?
6. Which women should a man
seat at dinner, the woman on his
right or the one on his left?
Answers
1, Not unless such, words are
really a part of your general
speaking vocabulary and it is
your practice always to use thein.
Under ordinary circumstances,
such words hi letters sound forc-
ed, unnatural and affected. Sim-
ple, correct language is always
in the best taste, 2. Comfort.
No style is good if it results in
discomfort. The second test is to
select color combinations that are
harmonious. 3. No. 4. No. Such
a friendship is not worth while.
Lavater writes: "Receive not sat-
isfaction for premeditated imper-
tinence, forget it — forgive it —
but keep hint inexorably at a dis-
tance who offered it." 5. No. If
this is done intentionally, it is dis-
courteous; if unintentionally, it
is due to nervousness, 6. The
woman on his right.
HOW CAN I?
BY ANNE ASHLEY
Q. How can I improve the fla-
vor of scrambled eggs?
A. Add a few bread crumbs to
the scrambled eggs. This will not
only improve the flavor, but will
snake the eggs go further.
Q. How can I disguise the
taste of castor oil?
A. First put a shall amount
of orange juice into the glass,
then the oil; add more orange
juice, and finish by stirring in a
pinch of soda, Drink while it is
effervescing.
Q. How can I prevent taffy
and other sticky candies from be-
coming soft?
A, 13y wrapping each piece in
waxed paper and storing it in a
covered tin or glass jar. A fruit
jar with a firm lid is most satis-
factory.
Q. How can I remove indelible
ink stains from fabrics?
A, Soak the article in a strong
ammonia s ni
a solution. If necessary,
repeat the process.
Q. How can I prevent a street
car or train sickness?
A. This can be prevented by
beating the white of an egg stiff,
adding the juice of one lemon,
and one teaspoon of sugar, and
taking this before starting on the
journey. It is usually an effec-
tive protection against that nau-
seating feeling.
Right to Live
"Together with other free
peoples, we are now fighting to
maintain our right to live among
our world neighbors in freedom
and in common decency, without
fear of assault." * President
Roosevelt.
What Scient a Is Doin
CROSS-EYES
"Cases of strabisrnue are use.
racily first seezi by the family
doctor or paediatrician and it is
important that they should give
proper advice to the parents,"
writes A. Lloyd Morgan, M.H.
(Hospital for Sick Children and
Department of Ophthalmology,
University of Toronto), in The
Canadian Medical Association
Journal. The paper is based on
zs series of about 800 cases at the
hospital, in which some surgical
procedure was done in about
twenty-five percent.
"Whereas, some years ago the
advice was: `Leave it alone until
they are fifteen and they will
grow out of it,' now it is generally
accepted," says Dr, Morgan, that
"treatment of strabismus should
be completed before school age
so that the child is not handicap-
ped by a physical defect which
might affect its whole life, Most
authorities are agreed that treat-
ment should begin early and if
an operation is necessary it
should be done before school age.
The chances of cure and good
binocular vision are much better
if this is done."
If treatment is delayed, an2-
blyopia (weak sight) usually de-
elops. In his conclusions, Dr. Mor-
gan holds that proper diagnosis
Is most important, that too much
emphasis cannot be placed on the
importance of early treatment
and that no child should be allow-
ed to go through school with
crossed eyes; that if an opera-
tion is necessary, it should be
done before school age, and is
much easier under general an-
aesthesia.
Nazis Are Given
Food For Thought
Here is it sample of a B.B.C.
broadcast to the German people:
There are seven audible ticks
of a clock, Then a pause. A voice
says: "Every seventh second a
German dies in Russia. Is it your
husband? Is it your eon? la it
your brother?"
There is a pause and then seven
more ticks. The voice says: "Is
It your loved one?"
And then the clock ticks on.
Commandos Raid
Norwegian Coast
With Fleet and Air Force,
Make Daring Thrust Against
Germany's War Machine
Eight enemy ships totalling
15,650 tons, oil tanks, ammuni-
tions stores and a Quisling -own-
ed industrial plant were destroy-
ed during a British raid on the
small island of Vaagso, 100 miles
north of Bergen, Norway.
The raid was carried out re-
cently by a Commando force of
the British Army, aided by light
forces of the Home Fleet and by
the Royal Aix Force.
Vaagso is the assembly point
for German convoys carrying sup-
plies to the far northern front in
Russia and an officer who took
part in the raid said the destruc-
tion of shipping had harmed Ger-
man communications to . that
front.
The entire German garrison on
an island involved in the attack
was captured or killed.
An enemy tank was put out of
action and an oil tank and ani -
munition stores were destroyed.
A wireless station and a certain
industrial plant owned by a Quis-
ling and known to be operating
for the Germans were destroyed.
An officer of the combined op.
erations headquarters said the
German casualties totalled 120
Hien and 05 prisoners were taken.
A number of Norwegian civil-
ians returned with the Command-
os.
The Commandos suffered
"sonic casualties" but the raid was
called a complete success.
Although on a small scale, this
raid was a good example of the
combined operation in which the
Royal Navy, Army and Royal Air
Force each played an equally im-
portant and interdependent part.

Raid. Shelters On
'White House Lawn
While Winston Churchill and
F D. R. talked things over in the
White House, steam -shovels were
busy uprooting the lawn outside.
Once it wall a pleasant lawn, a fa-
mous lawn --a lawn as big aa a
farm and as smooth as the felt on
a billiard table.
Now it was scarred with deep
holes that were getting bigger and
deeper — excavations for an air
raid shelter and thousands who
passed looked at the holes. They
remembered the lawn and Easter
and the kids uho used to roll Eas-
ter eggs.
When Easter came, ha.1f the
youngsters in Washington, from
the tenements and the mansions
alike, would turn up in the presi-
dent's front yard. The gathering
was traditional, and the lawn the
children romped on was a symbol.
It was a symbol of democracy,
because here a ragged urchin
could exchange greetings, man to
man, with the leader of a mighty
nation.
Well, it was still a symbol, ugly
