ETIQUETTE
By Roberta Lee
1. What is the difference be-
tween the formal and the inform-
al tea?
2. How large a past do fine
clothes play in the social world?
3. Should a guest unfold the
napkin entirely when placing It
on the lap?
4. What should one do when
food taken into the mouth proves
too hot to swallow?
5, Should a man and wide regis-
ter at a hotel as "William A. Til-
ton and wife"?
6. When the conversation a-
mong the guests is centred about
oneperson who is present and is
so complimentary that it is real-
ly embarrassing, what should a
person do?
Answers
1. The decorations of the in-
formal tea are not so elaborate
and the refreshments are more
simple. The hostess at an in-
formal affair mingles with her
guests and does not remain at the
door to greet each newcomer.
2. While every person should
dress as well as his purse per-
mits, remember that it is not
clothes that make the gentleman
or the lady. "Apes remain apes,
though you cloth them in velvet."
3. No; half unfolded is sufficient,
4. Take a swallow of cold water,
but on no account spit out the
hot food or even remove it with
fork or napkin. 5. No, The man
should register, "Mr. and Mrs.
William A. Tilton," 6. Turn the
conversation towards someone
else, or some other subject,
Poor Shots
A United States merchant skip-
per was preparing to send a mes-
sage to the British corvette
'Honeysuckle lying near him in a
Russian port recently, when 15
German dive -bombers attacked the
harbor, shaking bis vessel with
bombs.
The bombers were gone and
the ship was still trembling, Brit-
ish sources said, when the cap-
tain began his message, concern-
ing purely routine matters. Not
until the very end'. did he take
notice of the raid.
"The Paperhanger's boys," he
said tersely. "Are sure rotten
bombardiers."
Navy's `Black Magic'
Impresses Archbishop
Braving flying spray, high wind
and heavy seas, the Archbishop
of Canterbury visited the British
Horne Fleet off a northern port,
it was announced recently.
It was believed to be the first
time in history that the Primate
of England visited the fleet in
war filne
The Archbishop rode in a de-
stroyer, joked with sailors, con-
ducted a religious service or. the
heaving deck of the flagship and
climbed into gun turrets.
"I'm not Mechanically minded
and It's all black magic to me",
he remarked. 'But It's wonderful
Week magic;'
Anti -Japanese Attitude Com.
mon Among The Natives
The Office of War Information
reports that a Japanese campaign
to win the allegiance of French
Indo-China natives had failed and
that "an anti-Japanese spirit is
common among the people."
For a short time after the Japa-
nese troops arrived, OWI said,
"there were indications that the
newcomers were not unwelcome
to the native population. The
Japanese made overtures to the
Annamite circles with separatist
tendencies and played up to the
natives by paying double rickshaw
fares and distributing free cigar-
ettes."
Partial Conscription
The natives' first impression o2
the Japanese was "nullified as .ad-
ditional troops arrived," OWI said.
"Large numbers of natives have
been subjected to partial conscrip-
tion. They receive from the Japa-
nese a minimum wage for double
the work asked by French con-
tractors. Trainloads of natives
have been moved from the North
to the South without any con-
sideration for family ties. Natives
were inadequately housed, and
jammed into military trucks to
points where.the Japanese wished
work to be done.
"At one occasion at Haiphong,
the Japanese authorities, unable
to get more than a half train load
of volunteer labor, sent out a
military band to play popular
airs. Soon a crowd of listeners
gathered around the band. Japan-
ese troops formed a cordon
around the crowd, and allowed
the natives out one by one. Those
who could not prove they were
regularly employed were marched
off under guard to the train. A
high French official stopped the
train before it reached Hanoi,
and after a lengthy argument the
Japanese took the train back to
Haiphong and released their pris-
oners."
The OWI did not disclose the
source of its information.
The Unknown One
What Science
Is Doing
ALCOHOL FROM ORANGES
A process for the production of
190 -proof alcohol from waste cit-
rus fruit for the manufacture of
explosives has 'been perfected at
the United States Citrus Products
Laboratory in Winter Haven, Fla.
The cost of producing one gallon
of alcohol from pressed juices will
be approximately two-thirds of the
cost of producing one gallon of
alcohol from blackstrap molasses.
Citrus pulp and peel waste from
the Florida cannerieisusually
pressed out to supplyul cattle
85,000 tons of dried pulp
feed and 61,000,000 gallons of
"juice." Because the citrus rinds
and pulp are mixed with lime be-
fore pressure is applied, the juice
is unfit for human consumption
and is a pollution nuisance. From
twenty-five gallons of this waste
juice one gallon of 190 -proof al-
cohol, and about twelve and a
half ounces of dry yeast can be
made.
It is the pilot instructor who
takes the fledgling air student
and gives him his first dual time
in the air, nurses him into con-
fidence in, his ship, and eventually
sends him off solo—with a pat
on the back, and a cold lump of
ice in his own heart, The instruct-
or dies a thousand deaths until
his solo pupil returns, and then he
takes him in hand again to turn
that embryo confidence into an,
assured knowledge and the real
thing. On every airfield in Can-
ada that has been going on for
many months now, yet the general
public could not name five in-
structors between Victoria and •
Halifax. Nor is there any lack of
public sympathy or of interest in
that, because the names of these
men hizve seldom, if ever been
mee,tioned. Ask the young pilots,
however, how it is that they, re-
ceived their wings -'-•the broad
double wings of a man who can
fly an airplane—and they will
give the credit where it is right -
Sally due: to their inetruotors,
naneles and unknown.
OLD RUBBER
if you think that the bits of
old rubber that you can contri-
bute can make little difference in
winning the war, consider these
facts: An outworn tire can pro -
vied as much as sixteen pounds
of reclaimed rubber and an inner
tube about two and five -tenths
pounds. Fifty feet of garden hose
yield twenty pounds of scrap and
a single pair of four -buckle all -
rubber arctics three pounds. There
is a pound of rubber in every
foot of rubber floor -matting and
another pound in an old hot-
water bottle. In most cases, re-
claim constitutes from 20 to 40
per cent of the rubber articles
that we use.

"What's the news, mon?" ask-
ed his wife, puzzled.
"Wonderful, lassie," said the
Scat, "I've just heard that neat
week they the going to put the
local paper up to two pennies."
"Oh, mon, have ye gone crazy?"
asked bis wife. "Why, there's
nothing to rejoice about in that."
"Oh, yes, there is, Jennie,"
Sandy went on, "Ye ken that when
I used to go to the free library
to look through it I used to save
a penny—now T shall save two
pennies,"
Synthetic Rubber
Flow Speeded Up
More than 950,000 tons of syn-
thetic rubber will be rolling out
of new United States plants by
Nov. 1, next year, "a War Pro-
duction Board report on buts•
there.. to the American Chemical
Society disclosed last week.
Butadiene forms three-fourths
of the synthetic rubber and sty-
rene the rest. Only two or three
days are reit tired to compete
the transformation from butadiene
to rubber.

Swedish Runner
Breaks Record
On a rain -soaked cinder track
in Stockholm last week a young
Swedish runner broke into the
world news by covering a mile' in
4:04.6, nearly two seconds faster
than the recognized world's re-
cord. It was the seventh time
in two months that I•iaegg had
topped world marks in distance
running; his string of records
now includes two for the mile
run, one for the 1,500 meters,
two over 2,000 meters, one over
3,000 meters, and one for the
two-mile distance. Track experts
are hailing him as one of the
greatest runners of all time and
plans have, been made to bring
him to the United States next
winter if transportation can be
arranged,
Dies After Winning
Coveted . V. C.
Adam Wakenshaw was a dead-
end kid in a dingy industrial dis-
trict of Newcastle and the most
troublesome of a widowed moth-
er's 13 sons.
Even when lie grew up and
went off to war she told hint
bluntly that she would not miss
him.
But today his drab dwelling is
one of the proudest homes in Eng-
land for the Lord Mayor of New-
castle and his entourage called
there to pay respects to Adam's
widow and their three-year-old
daughter.
The Lord Mayor told the widow
she could find solace in her loss
in the knowledge that Adam died
in gallantry so outstanding that
he won the Victoria Cross, the
Empire's most coveted war de-
coration.
Adam was with the Durham
Light Infantry at Matruh in the
Libyan desert. In one of his let-
ters home he wrote his mother:
"I am sorry for all the trouble .I.
caused you . . You 'said you
would not miss me but you will."
The enemy attacked his anti-
tank gun. All Adam's crew mates
were killed or wounded. Adam's
own left arm was almost blown
off but, one -handed, he loaded and
fired his gun five times. Wounded
again, he dragged himself back
to fire still another time when a
direct hit smashed the gun and
killed hint.
What probably would have
given Adam satisfaction equal to
his decoration was his mother's
forgiveness.
"He was a wild lad," she said,
"but there never was any real
harm in him.
"He was right when he said I
would miss him." •
Britain Bombed With
New Type Of Plane
German sub -'stratosphere bom-
bers equipped with supercharged
Diesel motors, have made several
daylight attacks on Great Britain
recently; it is 'announced.
The first such bombings of Brit-
ain were made from altitudes of
nearly 40,000 feet by modified
Junkers 86 -P's fitted with experi-
mental pressure cabins.
This type of plane is the third
new weapon in the German air
arsenal for daylight forays against
strongly defended British ports
and cities.
The others are the four -motored
Heinkel 177 which carries eight
tons of bombs — equalling the
capacity of Britain's biggest
machines—and the bomb -carrying
Focke-Wulf 190's, the special
function of which is to speed over
coastal targets at low altitudes
and get away fast before the
speedy British Spitfires can reach
them. The F.W.-190's are prim-
arily fighters.
Chinese Casualties
Total 6,000,000
China has lost about 6,000,000
in killed and wounded against
Japan's 2,500,000 in five years of
war, Dr; George Yell, London di-
rector of the Chinese Informa-
tion Ministry, estimated recently.
He put Chinese army strength
now at roughly 13,000,000 men
and said a 20 percent. bigger har-
vest than in 1941 had averted any
food problem. In the year up to
last June, he said, the Chinese.
had fought 5,580 engagements.
Huns Lose 60,000
Flyers In Russia
The Moscow radio has announc-
ed that the German air force has
lost 60,000 men in Russia. It add-
ed that •Ritler has been forced to
send trained aircraft workers to
the Soviet front to build up his
reserves.
