IntrOductiOnS

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
Several years ago I read that
an introduction was made in
this fashion:
"Mr. Jones, this is Miss
Smith"
Recently I noticed an exam
pie that read like this:
Miss Smith, this Is Mr..
Jones'" or miss Smith, may I
present Mr.. Jones?"
Mother says this latter form
makes the young lady inferior
to the man. Your advice will
be highly appreciated.
I wonder if you didn't mis-.
read that introduction-form sew
eral years ago? If We say "Mr.
Jones, this is Miss Smith," we
introduce Miss Smith to Mr..
Jones, and this, of course, would
be entirely out of order.
A most important thing to
keep in mind Is that we men,
ton first the person to whom
we wish to give a social bow.
Thus, We mention first a Wom-
ans name, when we are intro
ducing a man to her. When we
are introducing a younger wom-
an to an older woman. We men

ton first the name Of the older
woman. When we are intro
ducing two women Of practically
the same age, one woman who Is
married and one who is unmar-
ried, we mention first the name
Of the married woman.
When we are introducing a
young man to an elderly, dis
tinguiShed man, we mention
first the name Of the older man.
When we introduce anyone to a
President, or to a royal person
or to a Cardinal, we mention
first these people Of important
position.
The best form to use when
you introduce a man to q
woman is, Miss Smith. may I
present Mr.. JONES'" or Miss
Smith, may I introduce Mr..
Jones'" If you wish to make
the introduction more informal,
you may mention only the
names, miss Smith, Mr.. Jones"
or you may say, Miss Smith,
this is Mr.. JONES'" or Miss
Smith, this is Mr.. Robert Jones"

BOND ISSUES OF
CITY UTILITIES
CALLED LEGAL
Ruling May Help Improve
Municipality Owned
Power Plants.

A decision of Judge Hal c Phelps
of Miami circuit court, received here
today, may pave the way for i'm
provements. to municipality owned
utility plants through bond issues
to be retired from plant earnings.
The decision sets out that such
bonds are legal, although heretofore
bonding attorneys have held that
this section of the 1888 utility
statute could be taken advantage
of only by municipal plants built
after the law was passed.
Attorney Harry K. Cuthbertson,
1913 Illinois building, was employed
as special counsel by the city of
Peru to bring suit involving issu-
ance of $4,000 of bonds to finance
extensive improvements of the Peru
electric plant, which is municipality
owned.
The little used declaratory judg-
ment statute of 1927 was invoked
by Mr.. Cuthbertson to have the
court define the legal status of the
bonds.
With approval of the court, the
bonds now can be sold and paid off
through plant earnings unaffected
by tax rate payments to be levied
by the city.
Purpose of the 1888 statute was
to permit municipal utilities to be
thus financed without increasing
the bonded debt of the city or
town.

PRETTY LAD WAS DILLINGER


DEHIND the cold. grim face Of
ID John Dillinger there lies a
story that is at once tragic and
pathetic 70 relatives and family
friends. A close friend Of his
dead mother, his pastor, his for
mer school teacher here and his
uncle today recalled memories
from a dim past as word Of the
capture Of the ruthless bandit
came to them.
Mrs. G. Baker, 2O38 Winter ave-
nue., a close friend of Molly Dill
nnger. who died when her son John
was a small child, says: Molly
Dillinger was one of my closest
friends. She was a tall, slender
girl with pretty gold-colored hair.
And her disposition was as sunny
as her hair.
When the daughter was about
ten or twelve, Molly knew she
was to have another child. She
wanted a little boy - said she
would name him John Dillinger
Jr. Well, Molly got her wish. and
little Johnny as We called him
was pretty enough to delight the
heart Of any mother. Molly fairly
idolized the child.
But her health seemed to get
worse after the birth of her baby
and she only lived three years. I
loved Molly so much that 1 can
not seem to realize that her little
boy, whom I helped care for, can

HOT DOG KING, )
MILLIONAIRE,
DEAD At 78

NEW YORK, May 4 Q.N.S0.
The body of Harry M. Stevens,
millionaire concesSionaire, known
to thousands of sports fans as the
hot dog king" will be shipped
to Niles, Ohio, for burial, 1t was
announced today.
Mr.. Stevens died at his hotel
here yesterday after a long ILL
ness. He was 78.
Mr.. Stevens was born in Lon
don and came to this country
more than a half century ago.
For a time he followed his trade
as an iron worker in Ohio mills,
but a strike threw him out of a
job. He then turned to selling
books.
One day in Pittsburgh, how
ever, he conceived the idea Of
selling refreshments to fans at
sport events. The idea eventually
brought him to New York, where
he took over the catering conceS-
sion at the Polo Grounds.
He subsequently widened his
activities to include other ball
parks throughout the country and
to race tracks in the East.
He was an intimate friend Of
the late John McGraw and was
personally acquainted with virtu-
ally all of the other outstanding
sport figures of the last 40 years.
