QUEENS COUNSEL
By MARIE, QUEEN OF RoUMANIl
Registered United states Patent Office.

Manners are not as smart clothes
put on for going to church or paying
a visit. They are for wearing at home,
too, in everyday life. . be-.
The important part Of our life il
the commonplace, day-to-day, hour-to'
hour family intercourse. The rest If

/ love to see husband and wife
polite with each other, not turning
out their worst sides when alone. 1
like to see them neat and careful in
their apparel, so that some illusion Of
beauty may last along the road.
And children? Is it not painful to
see children rude TO their parents
keeping their good humour for other
peoples houses! What can be more
gay than a big family meal where
everybody round the table is full OF
fun, bringing home the breeziness OF
outside life and interests, each eager
10 amuse the other and have him
share experiences?
Our mother brought up her fiv,
children to scrupulous politeness TO-
ward her. We would never have re.
manned seated when she came into the
room, for instance. Nor would ".
have gone out or come in without
popping in our heads 10 tell her what
we were doing.
Life can be so much "prettier" II
there is mutual politenes shown by
husband to wife, children 10 then
mother, brother TO sister and so on all
round. There need be no formality in
it, only natural good manners and
consideration which should be no ef
fort at all.
The tendency Of our times, alas
is to become slack in every way
to ignore politeness, to scott at
morals, principles, religion. Every
thing has to be cast off so as not TO
hinder our freedom, our personal
rights.

Arthur s. Bent, upon assuming the

Chamber of Commerce. made an ad-
dress which in some respects was re-
markable. He did not talk about city

about factories, water power, cleo

He said the city had already paid
enough attention to such things and
now it ought to give thought to the
higher life. 1t should have more NUM-

educational institutions. In short, it
should turn its attention away from

To me, casting off politeness seems
like coming into the drawing room in
dirty boots. What fun can be had from
spelling a beautiful carpet?
Why should we reserve our smiles
and amiable words for strangers
alene? Because the home folks will
understand, you answer. But they do
not always. Sometimes it hurts, and
hurts deeply. Charity begins at home
and politepess should also, and anna

Forecast of 1867

rrY RITING for the Scientific American in 1924
wv Herbert ]. Browne made the tentative forecast
that 1926-1927 might witness return of the
conditions that prevailed in 1876 'he year without
summer" The only element needed he observed, would
be major volcanic eruption several minor eruptions
that would fill the air with fine volcanic dust serving
intercept considerable solar energy.
1t is generally known that the is variable
star and that the amount of solar energy reaching the
upper atmosphere varies from time to time Further
more the amount of energy reaching the surface of the
earth is affected by atmospheric conditions.
The prediction that 1926-1927 may be year with
out is based the low solar constant of 1921
1924. In other words, the weather this year de-
termned several years ago. The oceans covering IS
per cent of the earhs surface act accumulators and
distributors of solar energy The effect of the variation
upon continental climate is somewhat retarded
The prediction also made at the time that 1925
would witness a winter The winter of 192526

A severe winter, however, is not uncommon.
1t was pointed out when the prediction was made
that year without summer would not necessarily
that winter temperatures must prevail during the
summer months. freezing temperature prevailing
for 2hour period late June TO- not impossible in
Northern United States and Canada would have dire
effect on agriculture.
Residents of South and Southwest Texas however,
need not be perturbed by these specuations 'year
without summer" in this latitude and geographical
position would merely that spring would be pro-
longed through June, July and August
