STANDARD RULES
Of ETIQUETTE

Question: How is a formal cali
brought to a close?
Answer: When a pause in the
conversation arises. the visitor may
rise, approach her hostess. who will
also rise and extend her hand. It
is not necessary to preface the de-
parture with explanatory remarks,
but it is sufficient to say TO the hos
tess, 1T has been pleasant TO see
you again." and then include the
other callers in a general good af-
ternoon. It is extremely awkward
for the hostess to have visitor who
stops several times on her way to
the door with additional remarks.
If the hostess has other callers.
she does not accompany the visitor
to the door of the drawing room,
but resumes her conversation with
her other guests.

Explanation of
 Mayor on Wages
(Continued from Page D

(Continued from Page D should be noted that they are being called upon now to make a sacrifice which people in all walks of life have already made to Q far greater degree during the present crisis. There is no valid reason why City employees should claim exemption from the readjuetment which is talk ing place throughout the entire world.
 Waivers for Statutory Salaries There are certain elective offi- cials whose salaries have been fixed by statute. and others. par ticularly in the school depart ment, whose compensation for Q part of the coming year may be Q matter of contractual agree ment. without entering into the question of the City's legal right to enforce a wage reduction in these classes, propose that they be requested to sign waivers au- thorizing this deduction. It Is particularly gratifying to note that. without exception, the sal- aried ofi1cers who have already been approached on the subject have cheerfully agreed to ac- cept the proposed reduction. There is no reason to assume that the remainder will regard 1t other than as an opportunity to share in the burden which they have so far been fortunate ano.a0h 4n AcRaue
 By Q prompt acceptance of these conditions, the alternative of reducing the number of em- ployes of all classes may be averted and the City may be spared the necessity of resorting to more drastic measures to safe- guard its financial weli-being.

He stated that two men in the machine stopped the car and walked back and took a look at the prostrate form of the injured man. He overheard one of the men re- mark "beat it." They returned to their machine and drove away. The local car followed in pursuit, but was quickly outdistanced. Glass from a broken headlight was the only clue available.
 Deputy Coroner Walter Smyth has started an investigation of the mishap. The authorities of Chesh- ire have appealed to the state to assist in the investigation.
 Shortly before this serious acci- dent cars operated by Luciano Priorie of 112 Westfield street. New Haven, and Paul Petrosky of 128 Division street, Shelton, col lided. The latter's car overturned, but no one was injured. Priorie was notified to appear in court to- morrow evening on the charge of failing to grant the right of way.

GERMANY WILL
 REDUCE WAGES
 AND THE PRICES
Broad New Plan of ECOnO- my to Enable Germany tO Puts Its House in Order

Berlin, Nov. 23--(UP)-A broad plan of economy to enable Ger many to put her house in order and meet competition in world markets was announced to-day by President Paul Won Hindenburg. It included simultaneous reduction of wages and prices in Germany.
 The president issued commu- nique after the closing session of the economic general staff," com posed of leaders of Germany indus- try, finance and labor, whcih had been summoned to advise on a na- tional program. The communique outlined the general staff's" re- commentators to aid in recovery, for domestic and foreign economy to enable Germany to meet the depression ond world competition, and to prevent further decrease in buying power.
 The recommendations, in addi- ton to reduction of prices and wages included partial reduction of public utility rates, reduction of interest rates, strengthening of banking and credit organizations, aiding smaller enterprises, and re- duction of rents. The closing ses- sion was presided over by Won Hindenberg and was attended by Dr Hans Luther, president of the reichsbank. Most of the trades union representatives were absent ir protest against the proposed wage cuts.

All City Employees
 To Have Wage Cuts
fContinued From Page D

But the $341,0O0 savings in wages, as proposed, will relieve the board of finance commissioners and Mayor Hayes of the need of bor- rowing additional money. The lat- ter is a proposition which Mayor Hayes looks upon with intense dis- favor, and one thing which he will not countenance under any condi- ton.
 Seeks 34 Mill Tax
 Upon his entry to office, he promised a cut in the tax rate if 1t were possible. It has been brought to 35 mills from AZ mills. This coming year, if 1t were not for the slash in pay, the decreased revenue coming into the treasury would make 1t impossible to keep the rate as 1t is and Mayor Hayes, cognlzant of the fact that the de- pression Is making 1t a difficult thing for home owners to pay their taxes, stated that he cannot see his way clear to making the rate any higher. In fact, he is working as hard as he can in an endeavor to try to adjust the budget to 8 34 mill tax levy.
 The principals who convened at Mayor Hayes request this morn ing agreed unanimously that the "cut' will be one of tremendous good to all and predicted the whole hearted and unstinted support of the teachers.
 They will distribute to all teach CTS a waiver form which follows:

Gov. Murray Called

with IAkin-America, base the tariff on the difference in cost of production at home and abroad with safeguarding duties on all raw material such as oil and cot- ton. He would encourage an American merchant fleet, give 1t adequate protection, build the Nicaraguan Canal as quickly as possible to cut five days from the route to the Orient. He would be prepared to so to bi-metal-G lism should England do SO to protect American commerce.
 He would extend more aid to railroads to avert government ownership, for he is opposed to government ownership except where there is no alternative.
 He would increase taxes on higher incomes, reorganize federal boards and commissions to reduce duplication, extend the practice of forming state compacts with par- ticipation of the federal govern ment as was done in the Boulder Dame project. He would restrict exchanges to the actual functions of a market place, eliminating speculative transactions.
 That, in brief, is his program. Bryan probably would have brush ed it aside as too conservative.

China Suggests
 Foreign Troops
(Continued from Page 1.)

(COnIlnue0 rom rage l.l for such use made about week ago, evoked no favorable impress sion at Washington.
 The council of 12 members, ex- cluding China and Japan held a brief private session to-day and adjourned until tomorrow. The council is occupied with drafting two resolutions, one dealing with the proposal for an international Investigation committee. and the other with Japanese evacuation.
 The situation remained extreme ly difficult. The Chinese clung firmly to their demand that imme- diate evacuation be agreed upon before the commission plan is &C., cepted. The Japanese demanded pacification of Manchuria and com plete assurances of the safety of Japanese interests before the troops are moved.
 The councils draft resolution on a commission was understood to contain broader powers of investi- gation than are likely to be accept able to Japan. Some of the smaller powers, on the other hand, were particularly insistent that the com mission not be restricted by the Japanese government and should have the fullest independent pow CTS.
 The evacuation resolution Is cer- tain to encounter objectsions from Japan, while the council is com- pelled to respect China's rights un- der the covenant and demand the progressive withdrawal of Japanese troops.
 At a private session tomorrow. the council will consider further the written memoranda of China and Japan outlining their views on the commission plan.
