Modern Etiquette BY ROBERTA LEE 1. When a husband does not like to write letters, shouldn't Tris wife be willing to do this for him? 2. Shouldn't you always ask a person for permission to use his name as a reference, before do- ing so? 8. Is it necessary that every- body be introduced at a large wedding reception? 4. Is it Necessary for the bride and groom to tell anyone the des- tination of their honeymoon trip? 5. When a girl has two dinner partners, isn't she privileged to talk more to the one who is the most interesting? 6. How should a servant ad- dress a young girl in the house- hold, who is sixteen years of age? Answers 1. No. He should write his own "thank you letters," as well as all other letters to his relatives and personal friends. A letter written by someone else is some- what similar to giving a person a secondhand .gift. 2. Yes, always. 8. It is not at all necessary. 4. It is better to tell the best man. At least one person should know, in ease for some urgent reason they should be reached. 5. Never. She should try to divide her at- tention equally. 6. "Miss Helen," How Can 1? BY ANNE ASHLEY Q.

Canadian National Railways Revenues The gross revenues of the all- inclusive Canadian National Railways System for the week ending September 14, 1940 were $ 4,888,627 as compared with 5,308,350 for the corresponding period of 1939, a de- crease of 419,723 or 8!''Io a,-Irl-�.y-i��ri►-.e•,aw. 4,-..a.,s•a++41r.*,•.H1` TOPIC HEAL • TH The Perfect Child The proper way to rear a '‘per. fect" child according to a mo- ther who has done so in the eyes of medical authorities, is to avoid intricate health rules and "don't try ,to force your child to eat." The mother is Mrs. Joseph C. Thomson, of Peoria, I11., whose daughter, Joan Carole, age three, was one of two children given 100 per sent health ratings in the Better Babies Conference con- test at the Illinois State Fair at Springfield. MILD AND SUNSHINE Joan Carole was tied for first place in the health contest with the year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wilbur Henry of Gillespie. Henry is the former "Wib" Hen- ry of University of Illinois foot- ball fame, who now coaches at Gillespie high school. "Lots of milk and plenty of sunshine are very important and so are regular checkups with the doctor and dentist," said Mrs. Thompson. Joan Carole eats a heavy breakfast, but goes light at lunch and dinner. Last year her mother was afraid that Joan was not eating enough to provide the necessary energy for strenuous child play, but later decidedthe child's appetite was in proportion to her needs. Earthworms can travel not only through the hardest soil but even through brick walls and concrete. After the Blitz — Comes The Morning Mill: The nonchalant gent who is taking in his milk from the doorstep here is typical of many Englishmen of today. They are so accustomed to bombings that they would be more annoyed at the milkman if he failed to leave the usual couple of bottles than they are at the Nazis who dump cargoes of destruction that blow in their front doors, break their windows and keep them awake nights.

WELL WORWORTHS.'IN'Cil He Used His Head When the steel pen super- seded the quill pen a French manufacturer stood to lose ev- erything he had on earth. He started to make .quill toothpicks and made a fortune instead, Until quite recently his factory turned out upwards of twenty million of these toothpicks per year. Hotels of the Canadian National Railways System still supply them. Rain Tells Time In Canada we use watches and clocks for telling the time, but in Para, Brazil, they rely on rain to check the hours. It rains so regularly in short, heavy showers that people make appointments "after the third shower," or "the fifth shower," and so on. In Ha- waii there are similar showers, which are almost invariably lo- calized. People who can see it raining a little }way ahead, stop where they are until the rain lifts. ARD? Aman bought a canary from a bird dealer. "You're quite sure this bird can sing?" he enquired suspiciously. "It's a grand singer," piped the dealer. The customer left. "A week later he reappeared. "Look here," he roared, "this bird you sold ire is lame!" "Well," snapped the dealer, "what the dickens did you want? A singer or a dancer?" Mother: "Willie, I heard instead of going to Sunday - school this morning you played football." Willie: "That isn't true— and I've got a string of fish to prove it." A hunter was showing off his trophies to a group of visitors. He was rapturously explaining how lie acquired the .various ex- hibits. "See that elephant?" he said. "1 shot it in my pyjamas:" "My word," murmured the vis- itor, "how did it get there?" Algernon (to his valet)— The doctor has ordered me to take more exercise, so I will wind up my watch in the future. The handwriting of Horace Greeley, the famous editor, was dreaded by all who were called upon to decipher it, for it was extremely illegible. It has been humorously reported- that once some of Greeley's reporters ink- ed the feet of a chicken and had it walk around a sheet of paper, and that when the results were' presented to the great editor's favorite compositor, the good man readily set the matter up in type. Of course, this is an ex- aggeration, but the following is said to be true: One day, Mr. Greeley sent a note to another editor in the saute city, but the other man could not understand it, and sent it back. Greeley thought it was a reply, but being unable to read it, remarked to the messenger boy who had delivered it: "What in the world does that fellow mean?" "That," replied the messenger, "is exactly what the other man said." "I understand she married a struggling young man." "Yes, he struggled, but he couldn't get away."

"Invisible" ..Towns., if British Architects' Plans Ma- terialize Protection Against Bombs If the war goes on another year l +ritons may be living in window- less houses in 'invisible" towns and sleeping in "bomb proof" bed- rooms, says a copyright story in the New York Tribune. British architects have for some time been planning wartime hous- ing estates which will be as invis- ible and as safe from the air as possible. Some of their plans are now on view at an exhibition at the Royal Institute of British Ar- chitects. FLYING GLASS DANGER One prize winni:ig drawing is that of a two-family house, one storey, with a communicating door in the • middle which in peace time would be the main chimney between the two homes. None of the rooms has windows. It is explained that most of the air raid injuries are due to flying glass. The bedrooms, which are in the centre of each house, with Jiving rooms and kitchens at each end, are in themselves com- plete shelters. Tile beds are ar- ranged in cubicles. Fussy Burglar When A. C. Martindale, investi- gator for the district attorney, call- ed in a Houston, Texas, housewife to question a 23 -year-old Negro burglary suspect, she asked the suspect if he had taken a single bite out of a. lemon pie in her ice- box and then put the pie back. The Negro admitted he had. "Why didn't you eat the rest of it?" she asked. "To tell you the truth," he replied, "I didn't like it." The housewife then snapped to Martin- dale: "I could forgive him break- ing into my house, but that remark about my pie is the last straw. I know I make the best pies in the neighbourhood."

The water is dry only in one way, that no moisture evaporates from its surface. —ac— NEW CHEMICAL MIRACLES Four new chemical miracles— wall paint which kills disease germs, a terrific explosive, electric- al weaving, and the first step in synthetic quinine from oil wells— were announced to the American Chemical Society last week. Thai antiseptic paints are made with a little chlorine or iodine, re- sult of thousands of experiments, The explosive is a combination of butadiene, the stuff with which Germany makes synthetic rubber, and ozone. It was discovered at Syracuse University, and is so sensitive its power has not been measured. Charged with speeding, Albert Assinger, au engineer of Milwau- kee, Wis„ whipped out his slide rule in his own defense. He told the court that, bad be been travel- ing at 44 miles an hour as the police officer had testified, he would have been stopped 829 feet beyond the spot where he was ar- rested, The court suspended sen- tence.
