With the repeal Of prohibi-
ton, there will, of course, be
more drinking at home. And
with drinking at home the art
of conversation will come more
than ever into it's own. More
time will be spent at dinner
and there will be more con-
verSation put out"
Few Rules
It is aStoniShingly easy to
influence people in any way we
wish, but we must know how.
1t seems to me that women,
more than men have the pecu-
liar abilities necessary for bril-
liant conversation. There are
a few rules to remember as we
try to perfect ourselves in the
art Of conversation.
# you are talking to a group
Of people, try to discuss sub
ject which is of general interest
to your audience. Don't ever
make the mistake of being
technical. Always try to dis
: cuSS the subjects which you
know your audience will un-
derstand.
Your tone of voice is a
powerful factor in producing
the right effect. Listen to your
voice as if it were a musical
instrument, and be sure that it
produces a pleasing sound.
Restraint
In choosing a Zine" of con.
versation. don't feel that you
must play a role which you
dislike. After all, it is your
show.
It is not necessary to cast
yourself in a part that you do
not enjoy: but you must make
your audience enjoy the part
Remember the rules of re-
straint. When you strive too
hard to produce an effect, the
only impression that your audi
ence receives is that you are
overacting, so leave something
to the imagination.
One of the characteristics Of
the bore is that he always

BEECKMAN
On Using Salt

On Using Salt
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
I noticed in your column that
you say that open salt cellars
are now more popular than salt
shakers. 1 would like to know
how to use these properly, eSpe-
cially when eating celery.
When we place the open salt
containers (many of these, OF
course, are copies of the old
salt containers and some are
newly designed) we should al
ways place in them the small
salt spoon. This may be silver,
or of glass. When we wish some
salt, we use the tiny salt spoon
to take some of the salt to
either our dinner plate, on the
side or on the side of the bread
and butter. plate. For celery, we
would place the salt on the side
of the bread and butter plate,
and dip the piece of celery into
it there.
If the salt is for a food-item
served in the roast course. we
would put the salt on the side
Of the dinner plate. Then If, for
instance. we wish the salt with
our meat, we cut off a mouthful
of meat. dip it lightly in the
salt on the side of the plate.
and eat the meat. This form
is better than Sprinkling the
salt directly onto the item Of
food

Baby'S Shoes
If a baby's new shoes are
sandpapered before the child
wears them for the first time,
it will roughen the soles and
save many bad falls.
Hanging Dresses
A rubber band, wrapped two
or three times around the end
of a hanger, will keep dresses
from falling off them.
Mending Tears
Tears in woolen or silk gar
mentS, can be mended very
effectively by using hair, in
stead of thread.

When fasteners are Sewed on
with a buttonhole stitch, they
will stay on as long as the ma

BlOuses Ideal Gift
We've shown formal blouses
before, writing about their
fashion points. But now we're
going to take the liberty Of
showing some more, because
they seem to be such a good
idea for gifts.
This is an unusually form
al" season, with people con-
centrating on dinner and eve
ming clothes, so that almost
anybody would be glad to have
a new Semi-formal costume, or
a part of one. If you can't
give a whole dress. you may
be able to give a blouse.
OF Many Fabrics
Satin, metal cloths, velvet,
velveteen, lace and novelty
fabrics make the new formal
blouses. They may be worn
with a crepe or velvet skirt,
either street length or really
long, according to how dressed
up you want to be.
You can usually get a blouse
and skirt, both for the price
of a dress, and if you already
have a skirt. then a new cos
tune will cost little. Lace is
Softening.
We're showing a lace blouse
that is flattering in texture, cut
and color.
It is of soft angelskin lace in
peach or white, with cowl neck
line and cape scarf over the
shoulders. It is worn with a
black velvet skirt. street length,
priced $3.50. The longer skirts
are $10.95. and this blouse is
$3.50. It may be worn over
the skirt, or tucked in.
Touched With Gold
The black satin blouse shown
is dotted all over in gold, a
favorite theme this fall and
winter. It is tunic length,
which is becoming and easy to
wear, and it, too, has high cowl
neckline.
The belt buckle is made of
coins that look like pure gold,
and give a very rich look to the
blouse. It is 1895, and it, too,
is worn with a velvet skirt.

Pile, not at them, and try to
be natural always. The great
trouble with affectation is that
you may become so absorbed
in your subject that you will
forget to be affected, and lapse
unconsiously into your natural
role, and, of course, become
ridiculous. If you are not sure
of yourself, try being a bit
mysterious.

DEVICE TO GIVE
 LIGHT AND MUSIC
Major General G. 0. Squier Envisages Novel
 Invention

Cambridge, Mass-(UP)-High-
 way lights made of aluminium,
 modelled after a morning glory and
 reaching height of 30 feet, were
 envisaged by Maj Gen George o.
 Squier, N. S. A., retired, in a paper
 raed before the semi-annual ses-
 sion of the National Academy of
 Sciences here recently.
 The lights, which General Squier
 calls "Radiolites," not only will
 serve to illuminate highways, but
 will be constructed for the edifi-
 cation and amusement of passing
 motorists, inasmuch as they will be
 equipped with radio receiving sets and will have large amplifiers to disseminate programs booked up from the ether waves. a Indirect lighting will illuminate the Radiiolite in fiuorescent splen- dor after nightfall, while an entire- ly separate function Is found in facilities for diffusing perfumes through jets in the structure, or, if the occasion and need arises, insec- tides.
 General Squier, the army's chief signal officer during the war, in- ventor, and shining light of Wash- ington's staid and solemn Metro politan club, made another predic- tion in his paper, saying that sky scrapers are a thing of the past and that ''the optimum height (of buildings) likely will turn out to be less than a dozen stories'' in the future.

in the world. Their preeipitous slopes and rugged terrain have de- fled the architectural plottingss of realtors and sub-dividors who have extended the city's growth to more tenable sections. Thus they provide the same wild security as beasts of desert and mountains enjoyed two centuries ago.
 Camera hunting has become a favorite sport of many city dwell | lers. With binoculars and camera they sally forth in early morning hours to shoot" their prey as they seek water and food.
 The nearest animal island" is within 15 minutes drive of Holly wood bowl. It is hogback strip of land formed by Cahuenga and Hol- lywood mountains. Motion picture players may often see great golden eagles soaring high overhead. The beasts, which roam these canyons, frequently prove trouble some. Not many weeks ago two huge mountain loans, city dwellers both, were hunted down and killed after they had killed two horses, staked in a riding academy. Deer
 are frequently chased from golf courses which fringe this rugged country.
 The wildcats which infest this ! region are a species of lynx. Or dinarily harmless they are danger
 ous when cornered. Nearly 50 were killed within tho corporate limits of Los Angeles last year.
 One of the best stories told of this "city- -bred'' wild life was turn ed in by group of county sheriff s
 deputies who were attacked by a
 pack of wolves as they lay in wait
 for rum-runners. The deputies were forced to blast away at their
 attackers, thus revealing their
 hideaway.. Two of the wolves were
 killed and the lucky marksmen
 collected bounties on their belts.
 Three varieties of fox call Los
 Angeles their home. Skunks are
 common. 'Possums were so numer-
 ous this summer that an ambitious
 huntsman converted the little anil
 mals into sandwiches and sold
 them to motorists at a roadside stand. Raccoons abound.

FILM STUDIO
 NOW BREWERY
Multi=COlOr Lab0ra tory { Erected By H Q W ard
 Hughes Transformed

Hollywood, (UP)-The $1.000,000 building erected by H W h Hughes for a multi-color film lab- oratory has been transformed into the film capitals first brewery.
 Herman Koch, millionaire brew CT, purchased the bnilding, long snused, and installed equipment which was put into operation in time to have beer ready when re- peal became effective.
 The building, located near the Chaplin and United Artists studios, is one of the largest in Hollywood. It has two private theaters in it, which the brewer plans to use to project pictures showing how beer is made and eulogizing its benefits.
 Hugres. the young Texas oil mill lionaire who became Hollywood's most lavish producer, has not used the structure for several years. I. is equipped with expensive fittings of all kinds, which probably make it the most luxurious brewery in operation.
 All Hughes productions are made at nearby studio also owned by the young executive. He built the laboratory in the heyday of color
