Etiquette

When a young woman is trav-
sling alone and a man persists in
trying to form an •acquaintance,
what should she do?
2. Is it vulgar to be extrava-
gant?
3, Should a person always rise
when performing an introduction?
4. Would it be all right for a
girl to send a young man a birth-
day card, even though he has nev-
er sent .her a card or given her a
gift?
5. If a bride has no relatives
nor intimate friends, who should
issue the wedding invitations?
6. From which side of the guest,
and with which hand, is the plate
.removed from the table?
Answers
1. Show by her indifference
that she is not interested. If the
pian persists, she should ask the'
.conductor to change her seat.
2. Extravagance could not be call-
ed vulgar unless there is an os-
tentatious display to impress oth-
ers. Extravagance is many times
unwise, where one cannot afford =
it, and should not be dultivated.
il. Yes, always. 4. Yes; there is
nothing wrong in doing so. This
is merely a thoughtful gesture,
and the young man would be pre-
sumptuous to think it anything
else. 5. Under these conditions the
invitations may be extended by
the girl and her fiance. 6. From
the left side of the guest, and
with the left hand.
HAVE
YOU HEARD?
The little man furtively entered
the florist's shop. "I want three pot-
ted geraniums," he whispered to
the assistant.
"I'm afraid we are right out of
geraniums at the moment," the as-
sistant replied. "I can let you have
some very nice potted chrysanthe-
mums."
"No, they won't do," replied the
little man. "I wanted the geraniums
to replace some I had promised my
wife to water while she was away."
Diner (sarcastically): Oh,
waiter„ has the chef killed that

Walter (under notice): No,
sir, but he's given it a couple of
nasty blows.
Goering called together his staff
of generals and said to them:
We're going to win the War and
*win it fast. Right?"
Every one of the generals shout-
ed back:
"Yes, we're going to win the war
tend win it fast," except one small
general in the rear.
Goering noticed this, and ques-
tioned that general.
"Don't you believe we're going to
-min the war fast?" asked Goering.
The small general answered:
Yes, I think we might win the
war, but I think it would be a good
idea if you put Czecho-Slovakia in
your wife's name,"
"Lok here, grocer, 1 want a
dozen eggs. Are they fresh?"
"Madame," the grocer saki,
"they are positively insulting."
A neighbor wanted to borrow
grandpa's new rope. Said grandpa:
"No, I've got to use that rope to-
day to tie up some sand."
After the neighbor had left, a
friend said, "Grandpa, you know
you can't tie sand with a rope!"
"Remember, my boy," replied the
old man, "you can do pretty near
anything with a piece of rope if you
don't want to lend it."
The problem of the bridal
couple le how to elude the

Swing Relegated
To Phonograph
Rad !o Dance Orchestras
Have Nearly All Gone Back
To "Smooth" Style
Swing is over, say the advocates
of the "smooth" or "commercial"
style of popular music. Insofar as
wide public acceptance of swing is
concerned they are probably right.
What has actually happened, how -
.ever, is that swing and jive have
gone back to the places they came
from to the musicians' Informal ses-
sions, to the "juke boxes" (pay
phonographs), to college dormitory
disk collections, or to whatever
sanctums the "cats" and "swinger-
oos" have elected to pursue their
art.
So, except for warmer radio
dance orchestra sessions in the
"wee sma" hours, the phonograph,
for all practical purposes, remains
today the only mediwm where one
may hear genuine swing.

What Sciencel
Is Doing
THE ROLE OF SCIENCE
"The role of science in the
culture of this continent is three-
fold," last week declared Dr. Ar-
thur H. Compton, Chicago's cos-
mic ray man, one of the world's
best known scientists. "First, it
supplies more adequate means of
living, giving men longer life, bet-
ter health and a richer variety of
experience. Second, it stimulates
man's social growth by rewarding
more abundantly co-operative ef-
fort and punishing more severely
his antagonisms. • Third, science
serves as a direct means of ex-
pression of the human spirit"

SILVER KILLS GERMS
Discovery has recently been
made of .the secret of the ability
of silver to kill germs. Silver is
widely used to sterilize drinking
water supplies.
The discovery proved that a
single atom of silver can kill a
living cell, despite 'the fact that
the cell is as much bigger than
the bit of silver as Mt. Everset is
larger than a mouse.

HUMAN GUINEA PIGS
Some 200 staff members of the
Department of Pensions and Na-
tional Health at Ottawa are act-
ing as human guinea pigs to test
immunity to diphtheria.
The 200 have given blood
samples and submitted to injee-
tions of a new • anti -diphtheria
toxin.
The toxin varies slightly from
that approved by the world health
organization of the League of Na-
tions, and if proved effective will
be released for national use.

Whooping Cough Test -
The recent development by to
Montreal scientist of an effective
skin test to determine a child's
susceptibility to whooping Bough
was described last week by Dr.
Lyon P. Strean of Montreal. Dr.
Stream's discovery marks a new
advance in the control of the dis-
ease.
While the present test will only
determine the susceptibility of a
child to whooping cough, it may
lead to the development of a new
type of vaccine for immunization
`and a serum for treatment or the'
active disease.

Since Beginning of Present
War --- German Claims Exag-
gerated
Germany's continued claims of
sinkings of Royal Naval vessels
last month in London brought a
formal statement which summar-
ized Britain's.and Germany's nav-
al losses since war began. It show-
ed that the Nazis had lost 2.1
shis, exclusive of a Iarge number
of submarines.
(British losses, including sub-
marines, number 18. (Submarines
lost were listed at five).
CRUISERS INTACT
The statement clearly showed
that whereas Germany's losses re-
presented a staggering blow to
her naval strength, Britain's
strength at sea remained unim-
paired.
Of the 15 capital ships Britain
possessed at the start of the war,
only the Royal Oak has been lost.
The Courageous is the only one of
seven aircraft carriers lost. Bri-
tain has not lost a single cruiser.
Her other losses are 10 destroyers
of the pre-war fleet of 185 and
five submarines.
NAZI BATTLESHIPS GONE
German casualties include both
her battleships, two of her three
pocket battler:Ihips, both of her
heavy cruisers, all six-inch gun
cruisers with which she started
the war, and 12 surface torpedo
craft.
SINCE NORWAY
Unofficial estimates of U -Boat
sinkings by the Allies have rang-
ed as high as 60.
Naval sources point out the
statement is not the whole story,
Since Hitler invaded Norway, 26
transports and supply ships have
been sunk or scuttled. Ten others
were hit by torpedoes and probe
ably sunk. One was set on fire
during an air attack and four
German vessels were captured.
