To Austria Protest

VIENNA, March 3.-tF-Ignoring
the declaration of Premier Mussolini
to the Italian chamber today that he
would hereafter indulge "in deeds
rather than in words" in the Tyro-
lese affair, Australian ministerial
quarters and the press today confined
their replies TO redirecting the atten-
ton of the world to what they term
Italy's continued oppression Of Ger

Southern Tyrol.

a reception. Therefore shall
wear an afternoon frock or eve
ming clothes?
The invitation that you quoted
does not require an answer. 1t
is an invitation to the ceremony
only, in the Temple, and there
fore does not require an acknowl-
edgment. If there had also been
an invitation to the reception,
that invitation would have re-
quired an acceptance or regret.
2. A five-thirty Wedding is one
of those indefinite times for
which clothes are a great prob
lem. But usually day clothes
are worn at a five o'clock we'd
ding; indeed, for any wedding be-
fore six-thirty in the evening.

Reciprocal Gifts
DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:


DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
~ 1 have received many little
remembrances from q young man
with whom T correspond, and ]
feel as though 7 really should
reciprocate in some way.
Would it be proper to send
him little gift at Easter? II
so. what would be proper to
send? A READER.
Yes, it would be proper and
friendly to send this young man
a gift for Easter-so long as the
gift is in good taste. That is,
some friendly but inexpensive
gift, like a book, some mono
grammed handkerchief, good
looking land be sure it isD tie, or
a box of plain, white, heavy,
generous sized letter-paper.

RESTING THE
BRAIN

Sleep is the resting time Of the
brain. The brain cannot be ac-
tive all the time any more than
any other organ. When the brain
is active, the result is conscious
ness; when the brain is at rest,
the result is Inconsistencies. We
really do not understand how this
interdependence comes about; in
the present state of our knowl-
edge we have to take it as an
ultimate fact of life. The brain
seems to require to rest about
eight hours out OF "a. All or
gans work and rest alternately,
though the times of their rest are
all much shorter than the time
of the resting Of the brain. The
heart, for instance. rests only
about four.tenths Of second each
second.

HOUSEHOLD
HINTS

Pieces OF newspaper. first using
a wet piece and then a dry piece,
are very effective for cleansing
mirrors and windows, giving
quicker results than when using
cloths.
When ironing collars start at the
center and iron toward the end,
beginning at the center again to
iron the other end, and no
wrinkles will result.
Round centerpieces and doilies
should not be folded when put
away. IL rolled carefully around
a cardboard cylinder they can be
tucked away and show no signs OF
creasing when taken out for use.
A small piece of charcoal kept
in the corner of the refrigerator
acts as a deodorizer. absorbing all
sorts of smells and helping to keep
the food fresh. 1t should be re-
newed every two or three weeks.
