Modern
Etiquette
BY ROi3ERTA LEE
1. When a woman is 'indebt-
ed to several people who have en-
tertained her, wouldn't it be all
right to give one large party, and
invite all of them?
2. Which is usually less ex-
pensive, a table d',te or an a
la carte meal?
3, When a professional en-•
tertainer attends scene social
function, is it all right to ask
him to perform?
4. If you are in a crowd, and
your companion is talking in such
a loud voice that it is attracting.
attention, what should you do?
5. Is it all right to call an
office employee by her first name
when speaking of her to the em-
ployer?
6. When calling on a friend
and she is not at home, is it all
right to leave a message?
Answers
1. It would be better per-
haps, if a large number of
people, to give several smaller
affairs, inviting just those to
each whom she thinks would be
congenial. 2. The table d'hote
meal is usually cheaper. 3. Not
unless it has been previously ar-
ranged. Otherwise, it is very
presumptuous to ask hint. 4.
.Lower your own voice percep-
tibly. If -this is not effective, say
"Let's step aside where people
,cannot hear us." 5. No, Say
"Miss Brown," not ".Alice." 0.
Yes. "Sorry to miss you" riiay
be written on one's card.
Heads Are Smaller
The hats men? wore fifty years
ago were bigger than to -day, for
the average size was 6M against
the present 6%.
Gene Tunney, former world -
boxing champion, and Bing 'Cros-
by, 'the crooner, are exceptions,
for they both take 7i,�z. So are
Mr. Churchill (71,g) and Presi-
dent Roosevelt (7ns), Mr. An-
thony Eden's hats, however, are
only. 63t. The biggest, head of
note in history vas • that of Da-
vid Hume, the philosopher, who
took 83 t. In some cases men's
heads become bigger as they
grow older.' Sir Flinders Petrie,
the archaeologist, took a 01/
when he was 21, 71a when 30,
VI, at 40, and 71! at 50.
Earth Going Slower
Astronomers say the, rotatioif
of tho earth is getting slower,
.Eventually it may take a month
to revolve; then there will be a
fortnight of daylight followed by,
la fortnight of darkness,- as on
the moon now. The slowing
down is due' to 'friction, caused
by the ocean tides acting as
brakes, and to the increase in the
earth', weight caused by felling
meteors. Newton estimated that
about a million meteors fall to
earth every twenty-four hours;
tlt;Odgh most of thele are burnt
up.. ilk the atmosphere, they form
part of the 'earth and add to it,
u ass. Against this, the cooling.
,and shrinkage of the earth's crust
tend to inel.'eese its peee.
Canadian Fish Sees
In Chicago Market
Canadian fisheries supply
about one-fifth of the fish sold
hi Chicago .markets amounting to
11,556,286 pounds brought in
during a year. To transport that
quantity of sea and lake food
required approximately 590 cars,
reports the Canadian National
;Railways which serves this U.S.
city over its own lines and carries
fish from Atlantic, Pacific and in-
land waters. Total . weight of
fresh and frozen fish sold on
Chicago wholesale markets last
year amounted .to 59,432,557
pounds representing a consume-
tion of approximately 171/z
pounds for each individual of the
3,384,556 population.

YOU NEARD?
Two women were discussing
the best method' of getting rid of
unwelcome visitors.
Said Mrs. Brown: "My dear,
it's quite simple. I always put
on my hat and coat when Shear
the doorbell. Then, if it's some-
one I don't want to be bothered
with, I just say, 'What a pity,
I'm just going out'
"And suppose it's someone
you do want to see?" asked the
other.
"Oh, then I say, 'How fortun-
ate. I've just come in!"
Instant Cure
Four boys hacl their hearing
restored instantly when a physi-
cian examined 93 hard -of -hearing
school children at Belleville, Ill.
Out of the ear of one boy the
doctor took a deeply -embedded
bead, He removed a piece of
lead pencil for another lad and
front the ears of the others took
two wads of cotton.
The number of hogs on farm:
in Canada at December 1, 1040,
was the 'highest ever recorded,
tl,e total be rig 6,117,200, 5T
(Tease of 28 per cent over the
number reported on the corres-
1); riding date. in 039.
Stranger: "Have you lived
in Bingville long?"
Native: "Have I lived here
long? Why, mister, - you
won't believe it, but I.,Iived
here when there •wasn't a
single gas station in town."
Brown saki he could teach
his parrot to say "Hullo" in
an hour. He started and went -
at it for 30 minutes without
his parrot taking the slight-
est notice.
At last the bird turned his
head and, fixing Brown with
a cold eye, screamed:
Line's busy!.
A certain customer always fell
asleep in the barber's chair. That
wasn't so bad in a shop in which
he was well known. But where
he wasn't known, well-
- The day came that he marched
into a strange barber's shop and
found himself the only customer
in the place. He eased himself
into a chair.
"A light trim," he ordered.,
"Not much off the top."
The barber nodded; went to
work. And as he worked, the
custolner followed his usual habit
of falling asleep.
Three hours later he awakened.
He looked in the mirror, and, to
his horror, discovered that the
barber had gien him a haircut
that made him look practically
bald.
"I only asked for a light
trim 1" he howled. "Why have you
cut off all my hair?"
The barber gazed moodily out
the window.
"What else could I do?" he
demanded. "Business is slow -=-
and I'd go crazy just sitting
around idle?"
Two men were arguing.
"What's the meaning of tact,
dim?" asked one.
Jinn wrinkled his forehead.
"It's—it's--" he began.
"Well, what is it?"
"Look here. I'll give you an
illustration. The other day I
went to mend a pipe in a bath-
rooin. When 1 got inside I saw
a woman in the bloomin' tub. I
gave one look, raised my hat,
and said, 'Beg pardon, sir!" that's
tact."
Mother was telling stories
of the time she was a little
girl. Little Harold listened
thoughtfully as she told of
riding a pony, sliding down
the haystack, and wading in
the brook on the farm.
Finally he said with a
sigh, "1 wish I had met you
earlier, Mother."
Autonlcbiles entering Canada
for touring purposes during 1940
totalled 3,405,537. Canadian au-
tomobiles ,,touring in the United
States in 1940 totalled 539,553.
Faith in Man's
Honesty Justified
John Burrell has faith in the
honesty of men and a recent
experience justifies that faith,
lie holds, An airman bound for
Saskatoon arrived at t . Toronto,
Union Station where Mr. 13urrell
is Canadian National Railways
passenger agent, and found him-
self short just $2. of the neces-
sary fare. Mr. Burrell advanced
a two spot, the airman went on
his way and immediately on ar-
rival at Saskatoon forwarded $2.
with a not of thanks to his bene-
factor.

BABIES RESIST BOILS
Babies are born with insur-
ance against developing boils and
abscesses during their first year
of life.
Dr, Alfred B. 'Longacre of the
Tulane University School of
Medicine, New Orleans, La., de-
clares that infants show a, mark-
* ed resistance to the staphylococ-
cus germ, which causes skin erup-
tions and other infections.
This resistance lasts only from
a few months to a year.
Q. How can I clean cellu-
loid?
A. Rubbing with a woollen
cloth and a little tripoli, and
then polishing with a clean wool-
len cloth is very effective. Sal-
aratus is also very good for
cleaning celluloid,
'Q. How car. I prevent cham-
ois gloves from hardening after
washing them?
A. The gloves will not become
hard if a few drops of olive oil
are added to the water; the oil
also helps preserve the chamois.
• Q, How can I replace a small
bit of wood that has been chip-
ped off a piece of furniture?
A. "This can be replaced by
using the white ,of an egg.
Q. What can I do if the toe
of a shoe seems a little too
large?
A. When this is the case, fill
the toe with hair combings. This
also prevents the shoe from
cracking across the top.
Q. How can i mend broken
marble?
A. Make, a very stiff paste
of Portland cement and water.
Clean the edges of Jhe marble
thoroughly, apply the cement to
bath broken edges, press the
edges together very tightly, and
tie securely until the cement has
set.
Q. How can I remedy ink that
has become too thick?
A. Acid a little vinegar to it,
and the ink will be usable again.

LIVES WITHOUT STOMACH
It is possible to live without
your stomach, sometimes more
happily than with it.
Science reports the case of a
man suffering from cancer of the
stomach who has been getting
along well without that organ for
the past year.
At operation the entire stom-
ach was removed and the upper
opening to it was stitched direct-
ly to the large intestine in a deli-
cate surgical manoeuvre.
The patient has to eat more
frequently than other. people and
in smaller amounts but he has
no difficulty in digestion because
digestion is a function of the in-
testines and the stomach is mere-
ly . a natural concrete mixer to
stir up the food you eat.

Finding New Use
For Corn Syrup
May Replace One -Fourth of
Cane Products
Experiments carried on in the
dairy laboratory of the New
York State Agricultural station.
at Geneva, N.Y., indicate that
corn sugar or syrup may replace
approximately one-fourth of the
cane sugar now used in the
manufacture of ice cream, ices
and sherbets.
IN ICE CREAM
In a bulletin describing the ex
periments, Dr. A. C. Dahlberg
said the most satisfactory results
were obtained with ice cream
when 25 per cent. of the sucrose
or cane sugar was replaced by
corn sweeteners.
