Etiquette

Direct
By Mrs. CORNELIUS BEECKMAN

Dear Madam
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
Some Of the staff have en-"
tered into a discussion as to
what salutation should be used
when writing to an unmarried
woman. They claim that an
unmarried woman is addressed
the same as a married one,
namely, Dear Madam" but
my contention is that by adj
dressing her as such implies a
married state.
No doubt I am wrong, but I
refuse to take the word of any,
one but an authority on the
subject, being a stubborn crea-
ture. would thank you to give
me your advice in the matter.
B.
If we do not know the name
of the woman to whom we are
writing a business letter, we
use, in the salutation, Dear
Madam, whether the woman is
married or unmarried.

Is it proper for the parents
of boy in his teens to enter

guests invited would be Of both

Most certainly it is correct,
and charming, for the parents

maintains that this would not

This is what hospitality is

Surprise Party for Boy Friend
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
Is it a social error for a girl
to give a surprise party for a
boy she goes about with, but
to whom she is not engaged?
/ thought of having a surprise
party for my boy friend on his
birthday. Would this be a
right or wrong procedure?
C.
Of course, this decision de-
ponds primarily on what your
mother thinks about this. If
she agrees, I see no reason why
you shouldn't plan this sur.
prise party for this friend.

It seems to me that your
married sister is the proper
person to reason with your
mother. She must realize that
your mothers morbid clinging
to old possessions makes it
impossible for you to receive
your friends properly in your
old home.
Would she agree to take any
Of these things on storage from
your mother, or would she be
good enough to invite you and
your friend to dinner at her

Something should be done in
your case, and your married
sister is the one to see to it.
Shed Like to Write
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I've always felt I'd like to
become a writer. Would
course in journalism help? I'm
a woman in my thirties; am I
too old to start?
I can use a typewriter and
have had a pretty fair educa-
ton, and have plenty of time
to devote to writing, or taking
up a course in that art, as I'm
not employed.
INTERESTED.
AS you've always been inter-
ested in the art of writing, I
should think you might find a
course in journalism great fun.
Many successful writer's have
not begun to court the muse
till they were older than you
are, among them De Morgan,
the English novelist, who didn't
begin till he WAS over so.

 To supporters of both theories. Borah has given no public assurance. greeting all direct questions with s.- lence or with observations on the state of the farmer or on the possi- bilities in the Italo- Ethiopian crisis.

NEUTRALITY OF
 U. 5. AFF IRMED
 IN LEAGUE NOTE
Answer to Sanctions Query Reiterates Roosevelt
 Pronouncements

WASHINGTON, Oct. 28.- The United States last Saturday night through Secretary of State Cordell Hull reaffirmed it's stand of inde- pendent neutrality toward the Italo- Ethiopian war, but expressed sym pathetic interest" in the efforts ci other nations to bring halt to the armed conflict.
 In formal communication to the League of Nations, the Secretary gave this reply to an invitation to com ment upon the program of sanctions against Italy.
 Economic Pressure
 Carefully outlining the steps talk en by this government, Hull refrain ed from making any direct commit ments on the Leagues efforts to halt the African conflict through eco homie pressure In fact, the interest expressed in halting the war was so drafted as to apply to any and all wars.
 In substance, the American reply to the Leagues communication was a summarization of the steps taken by this government under the Neu- trality Law
 To this was added reiteration of Americas intention to remain unirl- volved and it's desire for an early halting of hostilities.
 Note Is Delivered
 The note was delivered through Hugh R. Wilson, American minister to Switzerland, to pr. Augusta de vasconcellos. President of the Leagues Committee for Coordina- ton.
 Previous neutrality announcements by President Roosevelt, which Hull reiterated, placed an embargo on arms and war materials to both bell sligerents, admonished Am ric n business against transactions with either country, and warned American travellers not to use ships of com , batants.
 The Presidents neutrality pro- nouncements preceded the action of the League in proclaiming sanctions against Italy.
 Two Principles
 Standing pat on it's "isolationist" policy toward foreign disputes, the ], United States is disclosed in Hull's official communication to the League to have based its neutrality stand on two fundamental principles, both of which were decided upon before { the Italo-E Ethiopian hostilities began: first, the preservation of peace, and second, the determination to keep out of war once it starts.
 Other considerations which played a part in phrasing the American re- ply to the League query, the official spokesman said were the pursuit by this government of a consistent pol icy of acting in any and all circum- stances on its own initiative, and it's intention to follow it's own separate and independent course, to make no agreements in connection with any foreign controversy, and to observe rigidly it's determination to avoid foreign entanglements in whatever is done or said by this government.

By WILLIAM s. WHITE

WASHINGTON, Oct 28.- Seven teen years after the chancelleries Of Europe first acknowledged the Unit ed States as major naval power, Uncle Sam observed his annual Navy Day with an American fleet second in tonnage only to Britain great squadrons.
 Until the World War the almost universal conception of America had been that essentially and historically it was only large community in a separate part of the world. The transition after the peace of 1918 was so marked that under the terms of the subsequent London treaty-al locating to the nations the sea arm aments they might have-the Ameri- can navy today still is well within the treaty limits, despite the biggest ship-laying campaign since the days of 1917. That program encompassnd the construction of 24 new sea- fighters this year alone, and as many in 1884. By July, 1886, it is expected the enlisted strength will be 93,509 men.
 Big Program Planned
 The United States has fought few prolonged naval engagements, the most vital being in the war of 1872 The nation could build in 1886. some 36 destroyers and IS submarines be- fore reaching treaty maxima in these categories. The government likewise has broad new power to coordinate planes with ships as it goes along authority to build the one along with the other, where heretofore separate permissions from Congress were necessary. More and more em- -pasis has been placed by the navy command upon speed and more speed, until the tempo of the 1895 navy is vastly heightened over that of 1917.
 The Navy Department recently dn- nounced a program for 1887 which would include construction of one battleship, 12 destroyers and six sub marines, and addition of $500 men.
 Today, Americas total fighting tonnage in ships already built is 1,084,910, against the British Elm pire's 1,188,284 and to this figure may be added an additional 283,150 tons of armed steel in the classification of ships in process of being built or for which money has been appropriated Britain's ships in the building and appropriated for classification arc put by the U. s. Navy Department at 183,295 tons and the new tonnage permitted her for 1936 at 9o.623
 Tonnage Figures
 Here are the tonnage figures. in order, for the other major powers, as stated by the American navy:
 Japan, 748,997 built; 1l7,707 build
 
 ing and appropriated for; 2,7o8 ad- ditional tons permitted under treaty for 1886.
 France. 572. 2.917 built; 203,591 build ing and appropriated for; 89,854 per- mitted for 1886.
 Italy, 398,564 built; 110.234 build ing and appropriated for; 165 900 per- mitted for 1886. tFor both France and Italy the 1886 tonnage limits are only for capital ships and aircraft carriers; cruisers, destroyers, sub marines not being limited).
 Germany, 16l.7l5 built; l23.000 building and appropriated for; 1886
