Splendid Address Is Made By States Attorney

A gathering of disting guished guests paid honor to Judge John W. Banks last night when a. complimentary din- ner was given to him at the Algonquin club by the Bridgeport Bar associa- ton.

Keeler of the Superior court, Judge John J. Walsh of the Common Pleas court Chairman Homer IS. Cummings of the Democratic National committee and Coroner John J. Phelan.
 States Attorney Cummings was loudly applauded for his address in which he said, .'The work of the judge is peculiar and it is important to hold a high standard. We are passing through 8 period of unrest, a distrust of law, of men and of institutions. The judge has a great task at this time.
 'swhats are we to do? We must
 preserve the rights of free speech and other rights we have gained. We must educate the recalcitrant to know what America means, to make America what it ought to be, keep pure the ballot and protect it, for we say the ballot is the remedy for the unrest We must make it clear that there is one and only one flag for all. |" Other speakers were Governor Hol- comb, Justice Wheeler, Judge Thomas and Coroner Phelan. Judge Banks also made a speech of thanks and. told of his experience on the bench for the first time.

Pupils Are Seen In Variety of Playlets---Glee Club
 Entertains

One of the finest school entertain ments given in Bridgeport in some time took place last evening when the members of the Maplewood junior high school favored their friends with a number of short plays. This is an annual affair. The program was again put on this afternoon and will be this eI ening for the third time.
 The opening number was a march played by the school orchestra under the direction of Leslie Vaughn. The first play was "A Rose Dream a fairy operetta. The success of this number is due largely to the untiring efforts of the coaches, Miss AngeIus Cunningham and Miss Hazel Will liams A violin solo by Miss Ethel Fotch followed Miss Esther Plaisted and Miss Marie Green arranged the Dolls Symposium The Maple wood minstre1s and one act comedy ''Not on the Program" were decided hits. The characters in the last number were: Mrs. Murray Whit son. Irene Wendt; Mrs. Jones' Is- abel Kellar; "Erastus Brown" Preston Patchen; "Vincent Fielding,'' Paul Blackman; and "Officer Hogan Wal ter B. Lashar, Jr. Miss Julia Farnam was the coach. The closing number was rendered by the Glee club under the direction of Miss Margaret Casey and Miss Jane Casey.
 The money realized on the enter tainment will be used in purchasing stereopticon slides, books and for the support of the orchestra.

ETIQUETTE

Use of 'Sir"-"Wiu you kindly ad. wise us? A always says sir when addressed by a gentleman, whether her superior or her working eompan- ion. 'B' says this is not culture. Will you kindly let us know which is cor rect and if not what should be used? (Answer)-Social equals, in social conversation, do not ordinarily say "sir'' or "ma'am" to each other. One does say "sir' or "ma'am" or madam in formal communications. as recognition of what the other represents. tOne says "sir'' to his business superior as an acknow1edg- ment of the latter's official superior ity; or to a teacher or clergyman, for the same reason. I do not consider the use of "sir" and "ma'am" in such cases as at all refecting upon the worth of the one using 1t; any more than a captain in the army is degrad- ed by saying ''sir" to his general Many children are not taught nova days to say ''sir'' or 'tma'am" to older people; but prefer the old-fashioned way.
 Lunch at a Hotel--t"A young lady's city where her gentleman friend lives. On each trip he takes her out in his car or to eat Would it be proper for her to invite him to have tea with her at the hotel where she stops ?" (Answer)-It would be proper in case they were chaperoned by t=-c lady's mother or some other responsible lady of mature years.

Give Yourself the Once
 Over

And when you have, do you find that your appearance is lacking in the small points which go to make up the picture of yourself which you show to others?
 Do you see dark, tired-looking circles under your eyes? If you do, should get more rest, more regular exercise, plenty of nutritious food and drink plenty of water.
 Are your finger-nails carefully cared for? You should file them every day. Only by doing that can you keep in good shape. But before filing al- ways remember to wash your hands thoroughly in warm water and with a good soap. File from the sides to the middle. File them rounded. not pointed. If the nails are inclined to be brittle a bit of cold cream or olive oil should be rubbed Into them before filing.
 Do you see, when you give yourself the "once over," that there are un- beautiful holTows in the vicinity ot your neck and shoulders? If you do then begin at once to remedy it Practice deep breathing. Standing before an open window, at least 15 minutes a day inhale slowly through the nostrils some fresh air. Count ten, holding the breath the while, and then slowly exhale.
 A very excellent exercise for round ing out the shoulders consists ir struggling them. Also, swinging the arms in all directions in circles i; very effectua1.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS

A Cold Compress-A nurse recently told me of a new way of preparing a cold water compress for a sore throat which I have since used and found very effective. First take a thin piece of gauge or old handkerchief two inches wide and a trif1e longer than the neck size. Over that lay one thickness of absorbent cotton slightly smaller than the gauge, and inside place your strip of cold, wet cloth. Pin on carefully with tiny safety pins, and the result will be a speedy cure without the stiff neck occasioned by dripping flannel cloth.
 Always keep an old magazine handy by the sink to set a kettle on when you remove it from the stove. You can always tear the soiled page off.
 If potatoes -scorch-do not take cov- CT off, but put kettle immediately in- to cold water until the burned odor tatoes, put into a clean kettle and finish cooking. You will find no burned taste if this is done.
 A bottle of shel1ac is handy to paint over burns, and 1t gives instant re- lief.
 A flannel, wet with 1inseed oil and rubbed over the oilcloth after it is washed and dried will keep it in good condition much longer than washing with water alone
 If chocolate or cocoa gets on your fine table linen, wash with good soap and tepid water. If coffee stain gets on, soak in cold water, wiring spread out and pour a few drops o1 glycerine on each spot. Let stand for several hours. then wash with cold water and soap. This is good for tea stains also

SUFFRAGE NEEDS fl MORE STATES
 FOR RATIFYING

This week the Federal Suffrage Amendment has been ratified by the 18th State legislature, and only II more are needed to complete ratifica- tion. The twenty-ffth state was Ore gon, following quickly after the twen- ty-fourth and the ty-third-Ken- lucky and Rhode Island which both ratified the amendment last week. The twenty five states which have now ratified-taking them in order of tn number of their population are as follows: New York, Pennsylvania Illinois, Ohio and Texas which all ratified last June within the same month that the amendment was sub- mitted by the United States Congress; Massachusetts, Missouri and Michi- gan; California, Wisconsin and Ken tucky-all with over two million in- habitants; Minnesota and Iowa with rather smaller populations but still over the two million mark; Kansas, Nebraska and Arkansas, whose enu- meration at the last census was over one million but not quite two mill lions; North Dakota, South Dakota,
 Rhode Island, Maine, Montana, New

 tain more than two-thirds of the
 whole population of the United States although the number is only one more than half
 Other states that are expected to ratify include some of the small Western states where the women |. have long had equal suffrage. The reason for tardiness in calling special sessions in these states is that the ex- pense is proportionately heavier-ir such small states, especially where l the distances are great as in Wyom- i ing and Nevada.
 But the Governors are only waiting
 to see that action by their states is
 necessary to complete the process ot <. ratification and it is expected that be. 1 fore the end of next month enough l special sessions will have been called
 to make speedy ratification a cer. <ainty. Late news from Mississippi where the legislature is in session, re. ports that favorable action is prob. i able in the southern state
