Modern
Etiquette
BY ROBERTA LEE
1, . When signing ahotel regis-
ter should a man write G. H. Hall
and wife?
2. Is it rightto when playing
to the dummyy
bridge?
3. Is it obligatory that a man
help his wife to entertain their
guests?
4. As ten per cent is the cor-
rect 'amount for tipping in a res-
taurant, is it all right to tip five
cents when one's meal costs fifty
cents?
5. Is it permissible for a girl
on a vacation trip to send a pic-
ture postcard to a young pian who
has not asked hertowrite?
6. When a sudden death oc-
curs in a family after wedding
invitations have been mailed,
should the wedding be postponed?
Answers
1. No. Write Mr. and Mrs.
G. H. Hall. 2. No, and it is
often annoying to players to have
onlookers. ' If one wishes to watch
a game, ask permission to do so,
and keep quiet if such permission
Is given. It is the height of bad
manners to make any comments
on the play. 3. Yes, the man,
as host, is equally obligated to
assume his part of the entertain-
ing, helping his wife in every pos
Bible way. 4. No; ten cents is
considered the minimum, ten per
cent when the bill is one dollar
or more. 5. Yes. 6. Not neces-
sarily. However, the plans should
be changed. Recall all invitations
excepting those of the two imme-
diate families, and have the wed-
ding as quiet as possible.

"I want a dozen of your
planes," he ordered; "they must
be ready three nights from now."
"Impossible!" exclaimed the
works manager.
"I command!" roared Goering.
"The crews will be here at the
time stated."
The time came, and so did the
crews. German efficiency had
triumphed; there were the planes.
Without loss of time they set out
for their target—England.
Over London the leading pilot
pulled the bomb -release lever—
and out dropped three of the :fac-
tory's night shift.
Proprietor: "You come into
my restaurant, you order a

and you calmly 'vaik out!"

Thomas B. Reed, once speaker
a of the U.S. House of Representa-
tives, was the author of many
quips. One day an effort was
being made to secure a quorum.
Telegrams were sent to the ab-
sent members. One man, delayed
by a flood which eovered the rail-
road lines, wired:
"Washout on line; can't come."
Reed wired back: "Buy another
Shire and come on next train."

always pays to do a thing your-
self. A 'workman in London was
told by his wife that the sitting -
room needed papering. "I'11 do
it myself," he said. He sent his
wife to the cinema and set to
work. When his wife returned,
he had finished the job. She
looked at the walls. "What are
those bumps on the walls?" she
asked.
"Eh," he answered, "I thought
I had something wrong. It didn't
look right, somehow. It's the
blooming pictures."
Mr. Green: "1 am going to
enter my dog for the show
this year."
Mr. Black: "My goodness!
Do you think he will win?"
Mr. Green: "No, but he
will meet some very nice
dogs."
Daily Ocean
Flights Near
Pan-American Head Foresees
12 -Hour Non -Stop Trips
Across Atlantic Soon
Multiple daily schedules requir-
ing 12 hours for non-stop contin-
ent -to -continent flights may be
expected of trans -oceanic air ser-
vice within the next two years, •
J. T. Trippe, Pan American Air-
ways system president, told the
annual meeting of the Royal
Aeronautical Society in London,
England.
He delivered the 29th Wilbur
Wright memorial lecture. •
ew-type clipper planes, de-
tails of which Mr. Trippe said he
was not at liberty to disclose, are
expected to be delivered early
next year. These planes should
permit cruising speeds of at least
'75 to 100 miles an hour greater
than those now 'available and
would be geared for high-altitude,
supercharged operations, he said.
Since May, 1939, when Pan
American began trans-Atlantic
flights, the Clipper planes now in
operation have completed 362
'scheduled crossings, flying more
than 20,500,000 passenger miles
without incident, Mr. Trippe said.
The planes have carried 4,685
passengers and 810,740 pounds of
mail.
The war has brought about
"forced -draft technical advance-
ment" of trans-Atlantic air ser-
vice, he told the society, causing
the airline to carry passenger and
mail loads as great as 10 times
the originally estimated volume
of traffic. The war has trans-
ferred to the airplane about 30
per cent of the total trans-Atlan-
tie mails, he said.

What Science
hoing
MORPHINE MAY K1LL
If . you want to stay alive
through an attack of asthma,
don't permit anyone, not even a
doctor, to give you morphine.
Asthma itself seldom or never
kills, Dr. Warren T. Vaughan,
of Richmond, Ga., explained at a
symposium held by the American
Association for the Sutdy of Al-
lergy. But morphine may kill, he
added anyone affected with asth-
ma.

' PLANTS AND SUN
Some plants can become so sen-
sitive to light that full sunlight
will cause them to become pros-
trate, and when the light is re-
duced they can regain an erect
position. Dr. D. G. Langham,,
making researches at the Institute
for Experimental Agriculture at
El Valle, Caracas, Venezuela, re,
ported in the current issue of
"Science" that a potted plant of
teosinte, .a large grass resembling
corn, drooped when grown in a
greenhouse, but when removed to
a shaded locality recovered its
erect position. Seeds from this
plant produced offspring that had
the same sensitivity.

SHOT OF SUNSHINE
Recovery of a large number of
apparently hopeless infection
cases after the injection of a shot
of "sunshine" directly into the
bloodstream was recently report-
ed to the American Institute of
Homeopathy.
In the treatment the patient's
own blood was irradiated by expos-
ure to strong ultra -violet rays
from a mercury vapor lamp in
much the same fashion that milk
is treated by dairies to give it
vitamin D—the sunshine factor.
An automatic transfusion pump
was used and the patient's circula-
tion was not disturbed except for
the detour the and bthed

They Are All Listed in The
34th Edition of McKim's Dir-
ectory Now Off the Press
According to the 34th Edition
of McKim's Directory of Canadian
Publications, just off the press,
Canada now has 1,808 publica-
tions. Of this total, well over
one-third, 666, are published in
Ontario. The Province of Que-
bec ranks next with 390. Over
half of all Canadian publications
are weeklies — 984 as compared
with 112 dailies and 462 month-
lies.
666 In Ontario
It is interesting to note that -
Canada supports sixty-four for-
eign language publications among
which there are four dailies in
Chinese, two in Japanese and two
in Jewish. Foreign publications
in Canada are printed in sixteen
languages which include Croatian,
Czecho-Slovak, Danish, Dutch,
Finnish, German, Hungarian, Ice-
landic, Italian, Norwegian, Polish,
Swedish and Ukrainian.
McKim's Directory has become
practically- a national institution
and is widely circulated at home
and abroad. The publication sum-
marizes exhaustive information on
markets, media and populations
throughout Canada, constituting
an industrial analysis reference of
all towns in which publications ..
are printed. Enquiries concern-
ing this directory should be ad-
dressed to any one of the A. Mc-
Kim Limited offices in Montreal,
Toronto, Winnipeg, Vancouver
and in London, England.
Ontario Cuts Toll
In Meningitis Cases
Dr. J. T. Phair, chief medical of-
ficer for Ontario, said last month •
that early diagnosis, followed by
treatment with new chemical drugs
and with serum, has held the
death rate in cerebrospinal men-
ingitis down to 12 per cent., a new
]ow in Ontario history.
Since Jan. 5 there have been,
294 cases and 35 deaths, he said.
During the first Great War when
meningitis was even more preva-
lent than now, the death rate ran
between 50 and 75 per cent.
Dr. Phair said there was no
evidence that the incidence of the
disease was decreasing, although
normally its ;ate is higher in the
winter` Months.

The Woodchuck'
Awakens
"Heigh-ho! The clovers are red,
wine -red;
The breezes soft with rain!
I've left the dusk of a winter bed
To live in the light again!
The brook has purled to a waking
song
And flowed to the rim of the sea;
It, too, has slept and dreamed for
long;
It, too, is awake and free!
"A curl of smoke on the chimney -
top
In the early hours of the day;
A lone, lone road where the blue
hills drop
To the distance far away!
I call my brood from the drowsy
den
Where the hours of night are
spent;
I trail them through the summer
glen
Whose boughs with bloom are
bent!"

Now Can 1?
BY ANNE ASHLEY
Q. How can 1 wash a small
Oriental rug?
A. Rub the surface with
lather of pure white soap.
n
rub off as much soap as possible
and rinse with -cloths dipped in
clear cool water. Dry thoroughly.
Q. How can I make a disin-
fectant?
A. A home-made disinfectant,
both efficient and inexpensive,
can be made by completely sub-
merging a small,quantity (about
half a can) of chloride of lime
in vinegar. The gases released
by this mixture will destroy germs
and unpleasant odors.
Q. How can I prevent old po-
tatoes from turning black when
boiling?
A. If a teaspoonful of vinegar
is added to the water, they will
not turn black, in spite of their
age.
Q. How can I clean brick
tiles?
A. Washing brick tiles with
vinegar makes them look like
new.
Q. How can I make frosted
glass for a bathroom or sleeping
porch window?
A. Clean the glass with gaso-
line. Then cover with white •tis-
sue paper which fits exactly and
apply clear waterproof varnish
thinned 25 per cent with turpen-
tine. The varnish soaks through
the paper sticking it to the glass,
and thus effects a frosted win-
dow.
