Etiquette
BY MRS. CORNELIUS BEECKMAN

BY MRS.CORNELIUS BEECKMAN
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
"My family is expecting a
visit from relatives who live out
of town-my fathers aunt,
uncle and his cousins. In that
case, they are my second COu-
sins, I would like to know how
1 should address them?
my mother insists that call
them either Uncle or Cousin
Jack.
"There is also a priest in the
family. Should 1 address him
as Father Joseph? &C."
I agree with your mother.
Your fathers aunt and uncle
you would, I should think,
naturally address as Aunt
Mary" and "Uncle Fred" And
since your fathers cousins are
probably older than you are,
you would appropriately address
them as Cousin Jack" or
Cousin Jane" Or even if they
aren't older that you, you might
begin with the address of
Cousin" before their names,
and, as you know them better,
change it naturally to the use
of the first name alone.
Yes, either Father" before
his first name or before his last
name,

if you have no parcels to hold.
Never pull gloves on or off,
fuss with your apparel, or make
nervous movements while you're
talking. These things distract
attention from what you're
saying.
And don't let the conversation
be entirely one-sided. Ask a
few questions about the posi-
tion, showing that you have
been thinking about it.
When the employers conver-
sation shows that the interview
is at an end, that's the time for
you to make the move to leave.
Don't put yourself in the awk-
ward position of having the

NeWs in Hats

The newest trend in line is
width, achieved by cut or drape
or trimmings, especially POM
poms. The turban is the most
important type. Look for
drapeS, pillboxes, Highland caps,
or manipulated forward lines.
The continued suggestion of
the small head is sponsored by
every French milliner. Watch
the hood as the newest Silhou-
cite influence. Presented first in
fur, it is now used in fabrics for
sport. Fur hats are keyed to
many costume fashions. They
may be trimmed with flowers,
bird wings, or ribbon bows. Nov

Clothes may make the man,
but her makeup makes the
woman. Make eyes as dramatic
as possible. Keep eyebrows
faint and unobtrusive. Use rouge
lightly to leave the emphasis on
the eyes. Try the new trick of
using two face powders, the
light shade to accent the best
features. the dark to play down
others. Rather than a sleek
coiffure. soft one, with curls,

Heart Block
And then I remembered. I
remembered when everybody
Gall my doctor friends, mean,
by everybody first began to
use the elettrocardiograph.
That's the electric instrument
that takes tracings of the heart
and tells all about its inner
workings.
The books on the subject
said that heart block was
pretty serious. We didn't see
many patients with it, but
those we did see carried out
this idea.
Then along came a fellow
with a swell heart block, but
he wasn't sick at all. Hadn't
ever had a symptom, was work
ing hard as a mailer, 40 years
old-the only reason he had
the electrocardiogram was that
he had been examined for life
insurance, and the examiner
couldn't explain his slow pulse.
He laughed when we told
him he had heart block, and lit
a cigarette. Said he guessed
he was all right. Same ques.
ton had come up before. When
he was married 18 years ago,
he took out some insurance
and the doctor told him his
pulse was 36.
My friend at the lunch table
was evidently one of those
heart block people who had it
from birth and to whom it
gives no real disability. And
praise to his doctor who had
enough experience and enough
sense not to go haywire on
something that a machine re-
ported.
Interpreting
instruments of precision. as
they come into medical practice,
are unqueStionably of great
help. They show us things we
never could know otherwise.
But they become valuable in
proportion as we gain expert
ence, and that comes only with
time.
We find that exceptions come
along. All the cases Of, let us
say, heart block, that were first
examined seemed serious and it
was put down that way. Then
one turns up that isn't serious
at all. The instrument tells the
truth, but the fellows that wrote
the first books just hadn't seen
enough cases.

UNCLE SAM MUST
 PAY RENT IN GOLD
Panama Demands That for Canal Under Terms
 of Contract

Washington, Feb 25.-(UP)-- Uncle Sam, like many less dis tinguished tenants, had rent trou- bles to-day. The annual rent on the strip of ground occupied by the Panama canal and it's border ing zone was due. The United States desired to pay the rent by check, The Panama government has announced it will refuse to accept check for $250,0O0.
 Panama desires to be paid in gold coin of the 1903 variety, or it's equivalent in depression dol lars" This would bring the sum to something like $425,OO0 in the present depreciated currency.
 The treaty of 1903 between the United States and Panama stated specifically the United States should pay the Panama govern ment $10,OO0,0O0 immediately "!n gold coin of the United States,' for certain rights and privileges ceded to the United States by Pan- anna and $250,000 annually there after ''ln like gold coin,' as rent
 The Panama minister here, pr Ricardo J. Alfaro, revealed that unless the Panama government re ceives it's money, both this year g and last years canal zone rent, hy the first of May, Panama probably will default interest payments O.. the $16,000,000 of Panama goy- ernment bonds held in this coun- trV.

 New York, Feb 26-(UP)-An- other drive against railroad shares brought the stock market down fractions to 3 points today before support was encountered.
 The D0w-Jones average for 20 railroad shares made new low since 1893, while the utility average went just 1-1OOth point under it's record low. Steels made new lows for the year. Farm issues sold off. Rail equipments broke along with Baldwin issues. Mercantile shares sagged small amounts.
 Traders were appraised of poor situation in railroad companies be- fore the opening.2 A compilation showed the first IF roads to report for January had drop of 18.3 per cent in net operating income as compared with January, 1894.
 New York, New Haven & Hart ford was the first road to feel pres sure. It broke to a new low at 2 7-8 off 1-8 points and all sorts of wild rumors were circulated. The road at present is in no danger of receivership, according to ex- perts. It has loans to carry 1t for several months, it was said.
 New Haven preferred touched 6 off points and new low. Both that stock and the common came back from the lows later in the day when the rumors were spiked.
 Railroad issues making new lows for the year or longer included Atchinson at 39 1-S off 3-8: At lantic Coast Line 25 off 3-4:- Bal timore and Ohio 9 5-8 off 5-s; Del
