Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
I have been going with a
young man for three years and
lust recently I met his mother.
He introduced us by saying,
$50 and So, this is my mother"
He has a habit of calling her
by her first name. I would like
very much to know if should
call her by her first name too,
or should I use ''Mrs?"
A.
Don't even consider calling
this mans mother by her firT
name. Her sense of good taste
would be outraged.
Always address her as MRS.
Robinson" or at least until cir
cumstanceS bring you closer to-
gether in relationship, and then
undoubtedly she will talk the
question of name over with you
and will suggest one that she
thinks appropriate.
Dear Mrs. Beeckman: 9,
My father and mother are
both dead. I am to be married.

British Refuse to Permit

TOKYO, April "a G.N.S).-A
truculent Japanese government
reaffirmed today its determine

a Monroe doctrine for the
Orient"

merely the informal verbal state

man was cast aside and Foreign
Minister Hirota informed his fel-
low members of the cabinet it
was a policy Japan was ready to
"reiterate at any time foreign OBJ

No Doubt Left
Hirota's statement to the cabi.
net followed Great Britain'S ac-
ton in sending to the japanese
government a friendly commune

in the Far East.
Hirota's statement, however,
left no doubt of Japan's deter.
m1nation to pursue the course she
has outlined with regard to China,
just as she did in her Manchurian
policies, despite the opposition of
the Western powers.
Cultural Aid o. X.
Financial and technical assist

by other nations, Hirota said, also
would be looked upon with dis
favor because such assistance
would tend to threaten Japan's
relations with China.
"Non-politicar assistance in the
cultural development of China,
the foreign minister said, would
meet with no objection on the part

 Hollywood - Already one of the greatest benefits to be derived from the new and strict movie censorship requirements is being felt in Hollywood.
 Robbed of their favorite sex and gangster themes, the movie makers have been forced to- comb ether fields in search of new en- tertainment. This will result to some extent, in novel methods of presenting screen stories.
 Lottery Lover" soon to go into production on the Fox. lot, will be among the first of this type of pro- ductien. Here we will sec story told with pictures and music simUl- taneously. Every foot of the film will have a musical background, even when the characters are speaking. And the music at all times will be symbolic of the action on the screen.
 Even the sound effects will be stylized. For example, the soft batter of rain or the rumble of a street car will be interpreted with music. In fact, every mood of the picture will have Q corresponding mood in the musical background.
 II believe that such presentation of . screen story will enhance its entertainment value many times in that the whole story will be told to the ear at the same time 1t is being seen by the eye" declares Al Beckett, who will produce the film.
