2. / am glad that you asked
this question If there IL any
doubt in your mind-and appar-

mouthful of meat at a time. Eat
that before you cut the next
moHthful. One of the most ter.
rible-and I mean the word
breaches Of table manners Is to
cut all Of ones meat before
eating a mouthful. Promise me
you won't ever, ever, ever do it?

are, conveniently and correctly.
eaten with folk. Whenever
there Is a choice between a fork
and a spoon, make it your habit
to choose the fork, IL it is sensible
to do so. rather than the more
awkward spoon.
4. Lift the bread from the serv.
ing dish with your fingers, and
place it on your bread-and-butter
plate. Break off a mouthful Tor
two at the most at a time, butter
that and eat it, before you break
off the next piece. Another ter

a second serving Of food, If you
are asked to and il you wish 1t.
The only time that you wouldn't
do it Is when you see that. by so
doing. you will be eating when
the other guests have finished.
And, If you pass your plate for
a second helping, put your knife
and fork together on the plate
not on the rim-with the handles
pointing q bit toward the right,
just as you do when you have
finished a course. You do not
hold your knife and fork in your
hand nor do you lay them on the
tablecloth.
8. When the knife has been
used in course, no part of it
should again rest on the tablecloth.
When it is not in use, it Is rested
on the rim of the plate-with both
the tip and the handle on the rim.
In this position it is as nearly as
possible out of the way.
Z. 1t is not necessary to leave
any food on your plate. No custom
is so rldiculous-that is, unless

There was a time when cucum.

drowned upon by some medical

admitted that they form a delicious
addition to the diet because Of
their mineral juices, vitamines and
agreeable flavor. And they are

and Greece. Pliny says the Roman
Emperor Tiberius was supplied
with cucumbers every day, both
winter and summer.
The woman who wishes to grow
slim might do worse than initiate
Emperor Tiberius by including Gu.
eunlbers in her daily diet. They
are equally delicious with French
dressing and with salt, served
alone In thin slices or in q sum-
n1er salad.
If you are subject to freckles,
you. may find it worth your while
to keep half a cucumber on your

u. S. AID FOR
BORDER ROAD
ASKED IN Bill
Hudspeth Introduces

Washington Bureau to Dallas News.)
WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-The pro-
posal that the United Sttaes should
protect the Mexican frontier by con-
struction Of m improved highway
from Brownsville to San Diego. Cal,
has been revived by the introduction
Of a bill by Congressman Hudspeth
Of Texas, authorizing an ~appropria-
ton Of SIS. 000, 900 for that purpose.
A similar bill was offered by Mr..
Hudspeth several years ago.
The road would be constructed by
the Secretary OF War be sixteen feet
in width with connecting roads lead
ing to the military stations in the
border districts. The Secretary Of
War would be authorized to use con-
Wet labor from federal p-enitentiaries
II found feasible and advisable.
Mr.. Hudspsth's bill would author
ize no work until ali the counties in
Texas and other border states paral-
ling the border furnished the gov
eminent such right of way as may
be found necessary and use Of stone.
gravel, water and other materials rs
may be needed, without charge to
the government. Should individuals
refuse the grant Of materials. the
secretary would proceed by condem-
nation.
Cites Costly Raids
The bill points out that the gov
eminent has expended $3.50, 900 600
in protecting the frontier against
raids from Mexico and that citizens
residing in the region Of the border
have lost life and property valued ID
millions Of dollars on account Of the
raids.
The idea Of q military highway as
an aid in protecting the border is not
new. Many years ago il was pro-
posed to the government and revived
in 1916 Is the result of an invasion
OF Mexican bandits when the war
department submitted the idea to the
war college for a report. "A year
prior to that time members Of the
Texas delegation in congress brought
the question Of such a highway tc
the attention of the war department
as being necessary for the dispatch
Of troops and supplies. At that time
however, the war department report
ed adversely, but in the light Of sub
sequent developments referred the
activity TO the war college.
Sheppard Bill Fails
When the matter was again pre-
scented BY Senator Sheppard. Secre'
tary Of War Baker said obstruction
of the highway would depend upor
the attitude of the states under the
federal cooperation for good roads
and that the department would not
recommend construction of the high.
way by the government alone. Some

made to determine the ACCESSIBILITY
