off with three boys to play tennis.
tell her she should suggest asking an
other girl to go with them. She con-
slders me hopelessly "old-fashioned"
and have endeavored with little sue
cess to show her what you have voiced
In the past: that conventions, though
regarded by the present generation as
irksome, have most excellent reasons
for their existence, and observance Of
them would prevent regrets. Will you
please express an opinion of my view?
Answer: Although, according to the
present point of view, there is not the
slightest improperly in going off now
and then with three boys to play ten
mis-, I agree that 1t would be seri-
GUS mistake should she make going
about alone with boys habit. This is
because a girl, who Is always with
boys, and never goes about with other
girls, puts herself in a very insecure
position. Perhaps you might explain
to her that after all the word declas-
see means a woman whom the wives,
mothers and sisters of her men friends
refuse to know.
Dear Mrs. Post: What should l
teach my son, who is nine years old. to
reply to an introduction? I want him
to say ''ma'am" but am told this is
incorrect.
Answer: To man, "How do you
do, SIR; to a woman "How do you
do, Mrs. JONES'" "Ma'am" has al
ways been a acknowledgements
when replying to royalty. But why
"sir" Is used when speaking to gen.
tleman and why 'ma'am" is said to
ladies in only few localities is just
one Of those things that seem to have
little reason further than that usage
has made it so.
Dear Mrs. Post: Will you help me
plan a very small wedding in church,
because it has been long time since
we've had a wedding in our family?
~ Is it necessary for the bride and
groom to have any attendants ~
Is it permissible for the brides moth.
er to act as her matron Of honor? (3)
And may the brides fifteen-year-old
brother give her away?
Answer: ~ The groom must have
a best man. All other attendants are
optional. (2) Absolutely no, so far
as walking down the aisle is con-
cerned. But she could stand next to
her and hold her bouquet. (3) Yes.

INVITATIONS

DEAR Mrs. Post: The other day
~ we received this invitation:
"Dear Mrs. Jones-Will you and Marie
come in for tea on Monday, October 2
at 4:30? Mrs. Blank is staying with
me and have asked few friends in
to meet her." | know that ordinarily
an invitation to tea written on a visit
ing card, or an engraved invitation,
need not be answered. But what
about this one?
Answer: This one is an especially
polite invitation to tea in the form
of a personal note. It should be an
swered with note saying, Marie and
/ will be delighted to take tea with
you on Monday, and to meet Mrs.
Blank"
My dear Mrs. Post: am moving
very soon, and few days after I'm
settled in my new apartment l would
like to have a cocktail party. Gould
1 tell my friends that I have moved
to a new address and also invite them
in the same invitation?
Answer: OF course!
Dear Mrs. Post: My sister received
a wedding invitation for the ceremony
and reception of very dear friend
of hers who lives out of town and
whom sister has not seen for several
years. She cannot go and instead Of
the usual third person acknowledge
ment to her friends parents, would
it not be better for her to write a
personal note and explain why she
cannot be at the wedding?
Answer: OF course to this, too.
My dear Mrs. Post: We have in
vited out of town friends to come stay
with us for a week. l feel that they
will drive in their car, which means
that they will have their chauffeur in
town, too. Are we supposed to pay
for garage rent and also to find a
place for their man to stay, because
we have no additional sleeping rooms
where we could accommodate him?
Answer: No. Their car and their
chauffeur are their responsibilities. If
you have several servants and 1t is
convenient to you to invite him to take
his meals In your kitchen, he may per-
haps accept this invitation. Or he
may even then prefer to eat at a
restaurant Of his own choosing. At all
events, the responsibility to lodge and
board him would be yours only If you
lived in a big house far out in the
country.

That Bod
Of Yours
JAMES W. BARTON, M. D.



VXTHEN we think of all the people
wv who have died following severe
burns and know that now we are in
possession of form of treatment
which prevents this terrible loss OF
life, we are indeed grateful.
You will remember that previous to
1923, from 10 to 40 per cent of those
with severe burns died, whereas, now
the death rate is about q per cent.
This is due to the treatment of burns
by fannie acid.
DR.. r. II. Kitchener, London, tells
us that during the period from 1929 to
the present time. when fannie acid
congresses have been used as the rou-
tine outpatient treatment for all burns
and scalds, no deaths have occurred
among the slighter cases, which aver
age 800 year, and of which about
onethird are children under ten years
of age
The treatment of burns and scalds
following proper cleansing of rhe DAM
aged part, aims at lessening collapse
by stopping the absorption into the
blood of the substances which usually
cause collapse and death in from IL
to 4S hours after the burn.
The treatment also aims at lessen
ing the amount of fluid from the
burned part which is often so serious
and so often fatal in the first six to
II hours.
Another aim is to prevent poisoning
of the system from the harmful mate
rial on the burned surface, as this may
cause bronchopneumonia and death in
from five to IL days.
Doctor Kitchener keeps on hand a
stock solution of 2 per cent fannie
acid and to 1000 bichloride of mer-
curry.
In homes or shops where burns are
not so frequent he compounded a tab
let containing TN grains Of fannie
acid, " grain bichloride of mercury,
and 1 grain of boric acid, which tablet
dissolved in two ounces of water gives
q solution of the necessary strength
though slightly muddy in appearance.
1t can be used equally well for spray
ing when this method is preferred.
If there is no fannie acid available,
strong tea poured over the burn has
given good results
The relief from suffering and the
saving of precious lives by this fannie
acid treatment certainly gives cause
for thankfulness.

Many of the earliest settlers of Ohio
were what the French called Coureurs,
or outlaws. The Canadian fur trade
early fell into the hands of companies
organized and chartered in France,
and only members of these companies,
or those to whom they gave permits
sion, could trade in hides. Hence.
to make living by engaging In the
beaver trade with the Indians, many
Canadian settlers forsook their homes
and families and took to the wilder
ness to the west. They were later driv-
en- onward by regular traders and Of
ficials. and finally vanished in the
prairies and mountains of the Far
West

FOR j. 8. AID
To SCHOOLS
By International News Service

By International News Service
Plans for direct Federal grants
to State educational systems prog
ressed today as a special House
Committee began drafting a bill
which will provide nearly $780,
900, 900 to keep the Nations school
doors open during the 1934-35
term. The States would not be re-
quired to repay the grants.
Maintain Present Pay
Realizing the hopelessneSs Of
attaining salary levels in effect
before 1880, public school officials
are content to seek only enough
Federal funds to maintain opera
tionS on the present reduced scale.
A special board may be created
to check the school needs Of the
various States to work in coopera-
ton with the Bureau of Education
Of the Interior Department and
the Federal Emergency Relief Ad-
ministration.
Several of the larger requests
for Government aid include Mich
igan, $4,000, 900; Pennsylvania,
$40, O,O00,O 900; Ohio, $4,000, 900;
California, $5,000,000: Colorado,
$5,000,000; Tennessee, $4,000, 900;
Georgia, $S,5OO.0OO and Alabama,
$3,500,OOO.
Maryland Rejects Aid
Illinois cannot ask for Federal
aid until the special session Of the
legislature acts on school relief.
Representatives of Chicago told
the committee the city needed
more than $2O,OOO,00O for its
schools.
There are a number of States,
however, that will refuse Federal
help. Some of them are operating
under deficits, but have decided
to carry the burden alone. In
cluded among these are Massachu-
setts, New Hampshire, Maryland
and Virginia.

BERLIN, March 20 I.N.S0.-
Hearkening back to the days Of
Frederick the Great and his plans
for colonization, chancellor Adolf
Hitler's campaign to reduce unem-
ployment will take a page from the
book of der Alte Fritz"
BEGINNING tomorrow the first
day Of spring; the first anniver-
sary Of the "Day Of Potsdam" and
the 63rd anniversary Of the meet
ing Of the first German Reichstag
after the victory Of '70-71, almost
al Of Germany will concentrate in
putting additional men back to
work.
This wholesale colo nization
scheme is one Of the foundations
Of the campaign which is expected
10 unite industry, farming and
private dwelling owners in the
drive against unemployment.
Reclamation Widespread
Farming, through improvement
Of the waste lands, drainage and
terracing projects, Is expected to
contribute its share, with recla-
nation and deepening operations
on canals also coming in for some
Of the strain-easing operation.
Coupled with the colonization
scheme in Importance is the
projected system Of hard roads.
This has been one Of the prin-
efpal projects of Chancellor Adolf
Hitler and his address opening
the offensive against unemploy-
ment will be sounded from one
Of the labor camps on one Of the
hard road projects.
Contractors bidding on certain
stretches Of the system must
agree to use as little machinery
as possible and only in cases
where machinery cannot be re-
placed by man-power. Efficiency
Is not to be the watchword, but
rather, get the men off the

 Four years ago, the American Comedy, written, directed, acted and pubhcized by Dizzy and Daffy Dean, was playing in vacant lot in San Antonio, Texas.
 In the supporting cast were num- erous large, lusty individuals, whose courage was attested by their will ingness to risk their necessary necks swinging at the pitches of the Deans.
 And in the audience one day was a scout of the St. Louis Cardinals, who blinked every time a great, gangling country boy sent the dirty ball humping into the catcher's glove. At the end of the game he approached the pitcher and dis covered that his name was Jerome Dean and that he was in the army, quartered at Fort San Houston.
 Oh, Those Banquets!
 Today the army posters pro- claim The Army Trained Him." but the honor of training Dizzy Dean, if he is trained, properly belongs Ito Branch. Hickey, vice president and general manager of the Cards, who has talked to him and disciplined him, and fathered him; 2-to Joe Schultz, manager of the Houston club in the Texas league who called him, among oth- CT things in 1930, Dizzy" and broke him of the habit of riding a bicycle between innings; 3-to Al Todd, a catcher on the Dallas club in 1930, now with the Phil lies, who used violence to teach him that he should throw the ball across tie plate and not at the batters- head, 4-to his wife, who astounds the players in the Ma tional league by insisting that he take her on all road trips; and 5- to Clarence Lloyd, the Cardinals travelling secretary, who pointed out the difference between soup spoons and tea spoons, and suggest ed that he wear his coat when eat ing in the main dining rooms of swanky hotels.
 "M1 an Henry"
 Since the vacant lot days, Broth CT Paul has followed Dizzy to the ma ajors, has acquired the name Daffy because it fits in headlines and rhymes with Dizzy-and has led critics to believe that he is even a better pitcher in his first year than Dizzy was when he came up.
 Between them. they have won a National league pennant and a world series for the Cardinals, and have made the American Comedy the most successful show in the entertainment business today.
 So great was the excitement over their season s performance that Bradenton, Fla, the Cards winter training quarters, displayed its en-

 Who's Who, Anyway?
 At the very start of his popu- larity, he gave different birth day and birthplace on several oc- casions When he first joined the Cards, he said he was born in Holdenville, Oklahoma, on January Is, 1910. Later he claimed he was born in Lucas, Arkansas, and sub sequently gave his birthday as August IA, 1913; July II, 1912, and November g, 1911.
 It was pointed out to him that scne of these, August IA, 1913, was Daffy's birthday, and he was ask ed if they were twins No Dizzy sadimitted, We're not twins, but I think that date really is my birth day. Paul don't know when he wuz born He wos born in Janu- any. 1910, I think"
