ETIQUETTE

Dear Miss Flo:
When it is necessary to remove a
bone or seed from the mouth, should
it be done with fingers or fork,
Thank you.
E.
A bone or seed should be rem oved
from the mouth with a spoon or a
fork never with the fingers.
Dear Miss Flo:
When dining with a gentleman who
should do the serving if the waiter
does not? Who should serve the tea
or coffee? Thank you
M. S..
The gentleman usually does the
serving. The lady should offer to
pour tea or coffee, as this seems to
be the feminine feature of the dinner
Dear Miss Flo:
Should dry cake be eaten with the
fingers or with fork? (2)Is it prop
er to shake hands with gentlemen
when taking leave? CD Should lump
sugar be taken with the coffee spoon
or fingers when there are no tongs?
Thank you.
A. F.
Cake should be eaten with fork
~ 1t is proper to shake hands with
a gentleman if you care to do So
But if the meeting has been very
casual one, it is not usually done. A
hostess in her own home always ex-
tends her hand to all of her guests
as they leave. go Lump sugar should
be taken with the fingers when there
are no tongs.

The blouse, in spite of the changes
made in the thread of fashion, is more
popular than ever. The overblouse, in
simple cotton or elaborate silk, seems
to take the lead, although the tuck-in
blouse is very much in demand.
The overblouses are cut along tail
ored lines, and are trimmed with tucks
at the shoulder, drawnwork, embroid
cry and lace. The neckline differs in
the various models. The BOBBY col
laron some models is finished off with
pleating or three folds Of batiste in
contrasting shades, while the .'V' neck
has the club collar.
Novelties abound and they make a
most interesting display with their
panel effects, new trimmings, new col
lars and new sleeve effects many
bubble and confetti patterns all in
bright CHEEKY colors in the popular
materials.

Last but not least, is the umbrella.
It has ceased to be an occasional nee
essity to be used on rainy days only
It is carried all the time rain or
shine if the lady wishes to be really
fashioRably tailored They are unique
and attractive SO very attractive, in
fact, that it is a pleasure to carry
them. They have fat handles, carved
into all sorts of interesting shapes,
and are very short and stubby. The
silk covering them may be red, blue,
tan or purple.

The cool tones are in soft greens,
and the new grayish blue, not too dull
or too bright, and are very light and
attractive. These are novelty combine
lions and designs also, and if one is
able to carry off a large design, the
boIder patterns are some unusual look
ing, although the colors are more sub
dued than those of last year.

Regardless of the fact that some
tired of figured materials at the end
of last season, they are once again
popular. The materials are a little diff
ferent, the colors more varied, and
the designs entirely changed The new
fabrics are SO delightfully."- popular
that every woman will want at least
one of these dresses for her summer
wardrobe

Another suit accessory is the scarf.
OF course, they are gay, and many of
them have several different colors.
They are usually square, but occasion
ally we see them made as muffler,
all one shade, except the middle and
the two ends The design in the mid
die is so arranged that when thrown
around the neck it comes to the front
The ends of this scarf are trimmed
with about three rows of the same
figure that is used for the design in
the middle of the scarf

editorials.

Heved to be obsolete since 1868,
although isolated cases Of sim.
liar occurrences have been noted
since that time. All military men
and persons holding civil offices
under the government were bound,
when they had committed any Of
Tense, to rip themselves open and
thus end lives that had brought
disgrace upon their country
"Hara kiri" was committed by
cutting open the abdomen by two
gashes, in the form of a cross.

the court to that effect, otherwise
the heirs would run the risk of
being deprived Of their places and

the death of superiors and mas.

exhibit devotion and attachment:

disgrace or affront. 1t was resor,

1 take the liberty OF asking
you: ID The meaning of perpe-
tuity; (2) What is motion? 81
Is it impossible? Why?
L. j., DETROIT.
IN ROM the grouping of your
questions I judge that you
l. are, perhaps, tempted to be-
lieve in the possibility Of making
machines which once set going
will run on forever" or until
worn out, without an additional
supply of mechanical energy.
There are people " % passion
ately believe that. S, ne persons
have pursued their belief to a
tragedy of establishment and
disappointment. OF course, hu-
man knowledge is far from per-
feet, but all the same we are
very foolish to run counter to
basic principles Of our knowl-
ledge which 30 far have never
been found to vary.
The man who can make a per-
petual motion machine that pass
es all scientific tests will blow
the present science Of mechanics,
together with It's fundamental
laws, sky high! But the chances
are infinity to one in favor Of
his blowing himself sky high. In
some other world, for all know,
he might do better-but 1t would
be q very different world from
this one.
Three Terms Defined.
But, maybe, after all, you are
not one Of those who would try
this hopeless venture. Therefore,
let us look again at your Ques-
lions because direct answers to
them may help to clear up the
whole matter. and thus induce
persons who are thus tempted to
think twice before acting.
First, you ask the meaning Of
"perpetuity." There Is nothing
obscure about its meaning. 1t
means keeping on without stop,
or not ceasing. Yet it does not
necessarily mean eternal. a
river flows perpetually: but the
river may dry up. and then its
flow ceases. So perpetuity means
no cessation during the continu-
auC0 Oh IUO SdhLlO COHuILlOHS'
Then, motion" How difficult
1t is to describe the meaning Of
words that rest on common. uni.
versal experience is shown by
this quotation from the Standard
Dictionary:
motion. /. The act Of proc
ess of moving, or the state Of be-
ing moved; passage from one
point to another; change Of posi-
ton in relation to some assumed
point"
Cannot Be Eternal.
This definition might be i'm.
proved. especially since so much
stress has lately been put upon
the relatively of all motion; but
1t represents we'll enough the
idea Of motion for our purpose.
Let us, then, put the two words
perpetual" and motion" to-
gether. as you do in your third
question.
BY perpetual motion we evi.
IDENTIFY mean motion that keeps on
without stop, or that does not
cease. But we must apply to this
definition the same proviso as be-
fore. viz: that although per

petual' the motion may not be
eternal. If the conditions
change, the motion may cease;
the moving object may go out Of
existence. We cannot conceive Of
motion without matter.
Plainly, then, as far as our
definitions go. perpetual motion
is possible. But do not-in case
you are tempted that way-jump
from this, to the conclusion that,
because perpetual motion is posi-

INDUSTRY AND POLITICS
BY MATTH Ew WoLL
Vice President Amerle an Federation Of Labor

With the dawning of the present
industrial order-having found its in
ception in the discovery and develop
ment of the power of steam, followed
by the discovery of other natural
powers and forces subject to human
direction and manipulation-there has
come the urgent need of readjust-
ment Of economic principles underly-
ing our present industrial fabric and
social organism.
The discovery OF these natural
forces and the putting them to use to
serve mans needs gave rise not only
to the development of the factory sys-
tenn of production, but fmpelled the
creation Of large Industrial and COM
m ercial organizations commonly
known as corporate enterprises. These
corporate systems have grown from
small combinations into gigantic and
powerful organizations which, in the
eyes of the law, are recognized as a
person despite the fact that this man
created person is vested with pow
ers greater than those given to man
by his Creator.
This artificial, industrial and COM
mercial person has grown to such
immensities that all former economic
concepts and legal principles, intend
ed for the safeguarding of freedom,
equal opportunity and mutually of
Industrial relationship, have been
swept aside. Only the form and not
the substance remains.
The American wage earners and
the American trade union movement
do not seek the destruction of the
development Of collective production
or of group or corporate enterprise
neither do they hope to destroy the
concept of private property and the
device of freedom of contract as in
Southwest Washington labor press. [volume] (Hoquiam, Wash.) 19??-19??, 1924-01-11

strumentalities to promote progress,
encourage individual initiative, stimu-
late personal adventure and safeguard
the principles of freedom and liberty.
Labor does hold, however, that unless
a like form of organization is develop
ed and encouraged on the part of the
wage earners, who cannot deal effect
lively as individuals workers with cor
porate enterprise-that these instru-
mentalities Of freedom will become
weapons for economic oppression and
enslavement. Hence the necessity for
trade unionism and collective bargain
ing. In furthering this collective
power of the workers the trade union
movement is performing truly pa
triotic duty and an essential economic
and social work.
While organized labor is struggling
for equal opportunity with all other
industrial factors and forces and Is de-
manding its proportionate share in
the rewards that come by JOINT indus
trial enterprise, 1t also views with
considerable apprehension the con-
stant tendency of political govern
ment to intrude itself upon our indus
trial life and altogether too often on
matters purely economic and indus
trial and in which field it is not COM
petent to function. History demon
strates that economic laws and devel-
opments go on in spite of the dictum
of political government and that eco
nomic laws are stronger than politi-
cal laws.
An unbiased study of our economic
and industrial development and the
attempts Of political government to
regulate them will lead to the inevi-
table conclusion that economic laws
