Modern
Etiquette
What are some of the common
expressions to avoid in conversa-
tion?
2. Is it necessary to send a gift
when one receives an announce-
ment of a girl's engagement?
3. Is it permissible to use hotel
stationery when accepting or re-
gretting a formal invitation?
4. Is it proper for a man to
smoke while walking along the
street with a woman?
5. Should one try to keep the
sight -hand margin of a letter even?
6. When should a woman re-
move her wraps when dining in
the restaurant of a hotel?
ANSWERS
1. One's personality is reduced to
a minimum if he persists in em-
ploying such words as "O.K." for
"all rght"; • "yeah" for "yes";
"kid" for "child"; "gets my goat"
for "annoys me"; up to you" for
"it's for you to decide"; sure" for
"yes" or "certainly"; and "I don't
get you" for "I don't understand."
People of refinement, and especial-
ly women do not use these expres-
sions.
2. No.
3. No; personal stationery alone
18 suitable for this purpose.
4. No; it shows a lack of respect
to the woman, especially if she is
one who also smokes. The fact
that convention does not yet allow
a woman of breeding to walk along
the street smoking a cigaret should
prohibit a man of good taste from
exercising his "right" while with
her.
5. Yes; while it is usually un-
even, care should be taken not to
run the lines too near the edge of
the paper. .It should have some
balance with the left-hand margin.
6. She waits until she is seated
before removing her wraps, the
waiter or one of the men in the
party assisting her.

Q. How can 1 remove weather
stains from a canvas auto top?
A, Ordinary weather stains, caus-
ed by soot, rain, or dust, can per-

half hour. Strain and add a pint
of Cold water.

forming on steel tools and kitchen
Utensils?
A. Keep a lump of fresh burnt -
lime in the drawer or case in whicb
these articles are kept.
Q. How can II reinove warts
from my hands?
A. Wash the hands in a solution
of a liberal quantity of washing
soda dissolved in a pan of water,
Dry the hands without wiping. Or,
castor oil rubbed on the warts of-
ten causes them to dry,
Q, l,iow can I prepare a good
salad dressing?

two tablespoons sugar, Mix one cup
of peanut butter with one cup of
evaporated milk, also three-quar-

ter cup lemon juice. Blend with the

Eat Your Meals
And Enjoy Them
"Clean up your plate; lots of
little boys in Europe are going
hungry!" Twenty-five years ago
the version was: "Think of those
starving little Belgians." And
even then we couldn't see any
mere sense in the grim reminder
than did the muttering small fry
to whom it was addressed. We
doubt the wisdom of appealing
to a child's appetite by reminding
him that other children need food.
Dubious social implications apart,
motivation like this puts the
wrong emphasis on eating -eat-
ing is a natural function and the
right emphasis is on enjoyment
of it.

flour was reported in 1934 atop

This story won first prize to a
competition run by an American
periodical for stories of brevity
and dramatic content.
Elvina Parker received a tele-
gram from her bi dtlier, who was
accompanying her husband on a
big -game expedition in Africa. The
telegram read: "Bob killed lion
hunting. -Fred."
Elvina, overcome with grief,
wired back: "Send him home.-
Elvina."
Some weeks later a large pack-
ing case arrived. from Africa. In-
side was a lion. Elvina sent a tele-
gram: "Lion received. Must be
mistake. Send Bob.-Elvina."
Back from Africa cane the re-
ply: "No mistake. Bob in lion, -

"Take a look at me," he said.
"Do you attach any special slg-

The new chum looked him over,
then grinned, "Why, you lucky

Japan's Aircraft
Production Low
Japan's First Line Air
Strength About Five Thous-
and Planes
Japan's "air industry is woeful-
ly weak 'and her air force is of
low ofi'ensie strength." Lucien
Zacharoff, aeronautics authority,
writes in the, September issue of
the magazine "Aviation,"
He questions whether the Jap-
anese air force would be a factor
ill defending its own cities.
The first-line air strength he
places at no more than 5,000
plane, and possibly at only 3,000.
Ile says the island empire's per-
sonnel is probably 5,000.
"it sounds incredible," he
writes, "that Japan's army and
navy air -training schools are gra-
duating a total of much fewer
than 1,000 pilots a year.
"The quality of their education
may be appraised by the fact; ad-
mitted by olcio censors; that even
in peace -tinge Japanese military
and commerical fliers have the
highest accident rate in the
world."
Most of the leading Japanese
military aircraft types are called
obsolete or obsolescent by Zacba-
roff, who adds that Japan's cur-
rent production of military planes
of all types, including trainers, is
about 250 a month.
Current United States produc-
tion, as announced by the Office
of Production Management, is
about 1.500.
The 'writer rates Far East So-
iet air contingents as more power-
ful than Japan's and Dutch -Bri-
tish air power in the Pacific as
greater than that of the Japanese
•navy.
An Air Ministry tabulation, 'e
the second anniversary of the (let
•
claration of war, .placed Axis
losses for the first two years of'Y'
war at 8,020 planes and British
losses at 3,089 planes.
An incomplete list of lo. es' in
various theatres was given as: -
Over and around ,Great Britain
-Axis, 3,629, Britain 884.
Over German and, occupied
territory - Axis 690, Britain
1,334.
Middle East -Axis 2,087, : Brit-
ain ,383.
Western Front in i939-40
3416"."'Axis 957, Britain 379. Ar 3416"."'re
These figures, representing
ng
only losses i11 fighting with Brit-
ain, do not include Axis losses on
the Russian front.
The Perfect Wife
W. M. Stallings thinks he has
found a fisherman with a perfect •
wife. "The man," said Stallings,
"was sitting on a box fishing on
a hot day. His wife held an um-
brella over him with one hand,'
fanned him with the other."

Decision of R.C.A.F.
Manufacture of all -wood and fab-
ric airplanes of the so-called
"plastic" type may be the next
step in Canada's expanding air-
craft production program, if the
necessary approval is forthcoming
from Royal Caandian Air Force
officials.
An all -wood Anson fuselage, as-
sembled at the air force operation-
al headquarters at Rockcli.ffe has
been exhaustively tested and prov-
en, delivering about 10 miles an
hour greater speed than that of
-the orthodox Ansons now in gen-
eral use.
These fuselages are not plastics
in the generally understood sense
of the word, since they are not
moulded from a composition but
are .made of laminated woods held
together by a phenol -formaldehyde -
resin - substance and assembled
under tremendous air pressure.
Lightness of aircraft so manufac-
tured gives a greater carrying ca-
pacity of gasoline, armament or
personnel. Raw material is readily
•, available. They are quickly matte
and, presumably as durable as
could be desired, production offic-
ials said,
Colored Movies
de New Way
Double Lens Secret of New
German Method
Discovery of' a revolutionary
new way to make colored movies
is being shown in Berlin by Prof -
Lucian Henri Roux of Paris.
The films are plain black and
white. They are taken with an
ordinary camera, developed by or-
dinary processes, and projected on
the screen by an ordinary ma-
chine.
The difference comes from two
lenses, one fitted on the camera
that takes th'e photos, the other
fitted on the projector.
The colors are supplied in this
projection lens, actually being
mixed in the beans of light that
casts the pictures on the screen.
It is done so simply that one
noted German professor of optics,
when h saw the pictures, sighed:
"It's another case of Columbus
and the egg. Why didn't we think
of it ourseves?"
The colors are strikingly natur-
al. I saw, for example, a boxing
match in a Paris arena. The slug•-
gers'-„bodies as in nature, were
much whiter than their sunburned
faces. Beads of perspiration of
the boxers stood out clearly.
Roux keeps the nature of his
lenses a secret,
xct to
of
he is using the principles
paral-
lax. This is a common dis-
astron-
omical word, describing the
placement of an object when seen
from two different angles,
Long War For
The Russians'?
How seriously the Soviets are
counting 011 a long war is indi-
cated by orders placed in the
United States which cannot be
filled for eight months.
One order of particular interest
reveals their plans for transport-
ing tanks by air. They have made
the flat assertion that their trans-
port planes are larger than our
Douglas planes, and are capable
of lifting and carrying a 15 -ton
tank.
'Apparently, the Ru.4sians not
only intend to be fighting eight
months from now, but to be tak-
ing the offensive. Also it would
appear that German claims of
having annihilated the Soviet air
force are entirely unfounded.
