Authority for this statement is
Harry +. Boekenhoff, president of
the National Restaurant Associa-
ton. He has been in the restaur-
ant business for more than score
of years, and his belief that the
table etiquette OF the public diner
has improved is based on observa-
tons made over this span Of years.

peace OF mind has passed, Mr..
Boekenhoff said. To-day men pay
which they partake Of their meals.
Women always We're more careful,
but they, too, have improved.
This change, Boekenhoff says, has
been gradual. He attributes it TO
several causes. More people, he
says, are now dining out. Those
whose table manners are correct
are observed by others and are
copied.
I'm former years it was a COM
mon sight to see a man conveying
food to his mouth on a knife re-
marked Mr.. Boekenhoff. 'Such a
demonstration of equilibristic art
attracted no particular attention
then, but today such a show would
attract the eyes of all diners in
range.
Soups and other liquids are taken

land most diners use their knives
and forks fairly well. They no
longer grasp a knife in life and
death grip, and as their technique
in this matter has improved, so has
it in all other matters pertaining
to dining.

ed liquids has passed from the pic

NEWPORT, r. u, July 1O.--Testi.
n1ony in the Budlong separation suit
came to an abrupt close today, al
though Mrs. Milton J.. Budlong. the
defendant. asked yesterday for three
days to present her case. She is
contesting the action of her wealthy
husband. based on grounds OF
cruelty.
Mrs. Budlong. who Is conducting
her own defense, spent only two min

surprised every one by resting her
case, having called no one to testify
for her. She was granted 10 days for
filing brief and her husband 8
counsel was given three days longer
for a reply.
That the wouan's experience as
her own lawyerA was not altogether
an easy one was shown by her
declaration during argument on the
filing of her brief. She said that
Attorney Phillips Budlong's coun-
sell had done one thing after another

Judge Blodgett was unsympathetic
and inquired:

original position OF coordinate rank

Congress and the country to know ne
doesn't begrudge that assertion by
Congress Of its constitutional inde-
pendence.
Majority's Work Praised.
Strictly speaking, however. when
the record of Congress is extolled it is
the record of the majority party. The
President had nothing to give out
through his spokesman or otherwise
about the Democratic party or its CO
operation in framing the biggest piece
of legislation in Congress, namely, the
new tax reduction law. Nor did he
have occasion to mention the part
played by Senator Simmons Of North
Carolina In forcing revision of the
taxes on incomes under $75, 900.
But it isn't the business Of a Re-
publican President to praise the Demo
Gratis for non-partisanship. any more
than Democratic President thought
in 1918 1t was his affair to close what
he thought was obstructive tactics on
the part of the Republican minority
toward his foreign policies.
The sum and substance Is that Mr..
Coolidge has gotten back to the same
position in which President Roosevelt
and President Mckinley found them.
selves when by statements and public
speeches they pointed out the achieve
ments of the Republican Congress and
made a direct bid for their retention
in power All of which is customary
in politics, and before next November
Mr.. Coolidge may go even further to
try to help the Republican party re-
tain control Of both houses.
Atmosphere Is Bipartisan.
It all depends on how the appeal is
framed and the temper of the country
at the moment, for 1t will be conceded
that the atmosphere is a good deal
more bipartisan today, both inside and
outside of Congress. than it was In the
emotional month of November, 1913,
even though the war was then draw
ing to close.
1t means great deal to Mr.. Coolidge
to hold a Republican majority this
Autumn IN the congressional elections.
In a sense 1t is to be a vote Of comb
dence on his administration. II the
Republicans Were to lose both houses
it might react unfavorably on his own
political fortunes in 1928. If the Re
publicans win Congress. then by so
much are Mr.. Coolidge's own chances
of winning the presidential nomination
two years hence improved.

up for sale.
AS to delinquent personal pro-
perty taxes, the Surface has hard
ly been scratched. These will
be the big problem for the COM
ing year, but with the help of
Mr.. Wager, the Assessor, and
Mrs. Ackley, the County Treas
urer, and yourselves, ] hope to
work out some satisfactory and
sure way OF handling them. There
is no doubt, however, but that
many of these assessments are en-
tirely uncollectable and must be-
written off.
"Since we began the prosecu-
ton of tax cases, the 1924 taxes
have become delinquent and 1925
taxes will be delinquent the first
of next May. And most Of the
suits filed within the past five
months are still pending in the
Superior Court, action having been
delayed at the request of the de-
fendants. 1t is apparent there
from, and from the amount of
personal property taxes still un-
collected, that 1926 will be big
year for tax collections. How
ever, again repeat the promise
made the first Of this year, that I
shall use my very best efforts to
the end that on December 81,
1926, there will be no delinquent
taxes on the books of this County,
except for the first half Of the
year 1926.
'May / take this opportunity of
thanking yourselves and all of the
other county officers, especially
Mrs. Ackley. Mr.. Wager and the
Sheriff's Office, for your unfail-
ing cooperation in all matters
wherein this office was concerned.
wishing you each most Hap
1,y and Prosperous New Year, I
am,
Respectfully,
