Dorothy Dix Says
The Man Who Is Slovenly in Appearance
Rides Hand in Hand With Failure.

DEAR Dorothy DIX am ap-
preaching middle age and have
been very active in the business world
for more than 20 years. Now I find
myself drifting away from some Of
Of my old friends. For instance, yes
terday I met q girihood chum who
married when we were quite young.
used to consider her the most beauti.
full and interesting Of my friends, but
frankly she bored me stif1. Her con-
versation was just silly gossip and
childish comments.
Then recently met an old beau,
the very sight Of whom used to thrill
me through and through He is now
an old playboy and his talk Is all Of
the parties he goes to. cannot but
compare these two with the men and
women I meet in the conduct Of my
business and its social side and with
the young people ! employ who would
probably call the woman Dumb Dora
and the old beau a jackass. What
has happened to me? Have be-
come a sour old maid, or so absorbed
in business that I have cut out Of my
heart these two dear old friends? I
am sorry to have lost them, for this
is what has happened. A CYNIC.
Arswer-Get out your Longfellow
and read that lovely poem in which
he tells OF going back to the old home
and sitting silent among those with
whom he expected to have such heart
communion. They had nothing to say
to each other and they were dumb
with wonder and sorrow-"and all
that fills the hearts Of friends when
first they know with secret pain that
all our lives have different ends and
never can be one again"
We can't go back to our friendships
any more than we can go back to any
other condition of life. 1t is like going
back to eating mush and milk after
you have acquired caviar taste. Most
Of us fnd, when we meet our old
friends whom we haven't seen for
years, that we have less to say to them
than we have to strangers. After we
have asked them what they are doing.
how they are, listened to their symp.
toms, heard about their children and
recalled few old memories Of our
schoolhood days, we have nothing
more to say to each other and are glad
to get back to the company Of those
who know the things we know and are
interested in the things we are inter-
ested In. Our real friends whom We
enjoy ere the friends Of today. not yes.
terday. DOROTHY DIX.

TT Is good plan to give upholstered
furniture and rugs Midwinter
cleaning: in fact. 1t should be
L expedient. It Is bound to keep
them in good condition as well as
to preserve their initial beauty.
In the household where there are
children and perhaps pets it Is diff
cult to keep upholstery absolutely
spotless-it Is even difficult in an
adult home. Dust, SCOT or oil film
Is generally present in every estab-
lishment and accidents-spilling some
thing on rug or furniture-will happen
in the best of families!"
THERE seems to be general be-
lief. however, that cleaning fluids
and spot removers for furniture are
very hard to work with, and in many
cases when the amateur has under
taken to remove q spot or cleanse an
entire surface the result has been
almost tragic-rings and streaks ap-
pearing on the fabric: sometimes even
the color has faded or been actually
removed from the article cleaned.
The fault does not lie entirely in
the cleanser employed-in fact, it is
very seldom that the blame rests on
the cleanser. II directions were read
before application 8 times out Of 10
the result would have been entirely
satisfactory. Cleaning firms use the
same fluids with great success-which
should prove that failures encountered
by the amateur are due to the lack of
proper application of the cleaning
agent used.
Manufacturers Of the fluids on the
market give explicit directions as to-
how to use their products and most
all Of them direct that the liquid
must be worked into a froth or foamy
form before using. They also advise
that only a small area be cleaned at
q time. and stress the importance Of
overlapping each cleaned section
Just as one would in cleaning wall
paper or when washing woodwork. II
this Is faithfully done there will be
no circles or streaks. Another i'm
portant point to remember Is that
the cleanser should be removed i'm
mediately. It should under no cir
cumstances be allowed to stand and
penetrate into the furniture or floor
covering. The securing must be
quickly done with a sponge or brush

and the dirty froth removed with a

courteous not to drink q toast

I am asking this. Also, If tomato juice
cocktails are offered, Is 1t improper to
drink the toast with tomato juice?"
Answer: Certainly it Is not improper
to drink q tomato juice toast. But 1t
is considered very discourteous to the
person whose health is drunk not to
make a gesture of drinking to him. or
her. But to do this it is merely neces-
sary to raise the glass-of no matter
what-to your lips. Ordinarily you
need not take even mouthful unless
YOU choose. II it Is q bottoms-up
toast, like the one to the bride at the
bridegroom's dinner, and you have q
serious excuse, such as having made
a vow-if you know that even q lit
tie Is Q danger to your health-then
you must, as inconspicuously as you

UNDATED, Oct. 2, - Reports at Lisbon from Spanish insurg- ent strongholds of Valladolid, said that several Spanish cabin ct ministers left Madrid via the Alicante, aboard an Argentine Warship on September 25th en- route to Marseille.
 Reports also quoted General Franco as declaring a proclama- ton that New Spain would be ruled by a cooperative system similar to Portugars. Work for all will be absolutely assured and will no longer be subject to cap ital:sm. Minimum wages will be established and all workers rights will be respected Social spong- CTS will be destroyed" he said.
 Insurgents schemed to destroy Madrid's resistance with fear of a barrage, although General Fran co declared he would starve the capitol into submission rather than attack with artillery, there by hoping to trick the populace into surrendering.

Elevators For
 Lazy Fish Put
 In Large Dam
(Bv The Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2, A few more weeks and electric elevators for lazy fish, courtesy the federal government, will be operating in the Columbia River.
 These elevators are so de luxe that the fish won't even have to press a button when they want to ride six floors up. They are an integral part of the great Bonneville dam, a model of which features world power conference exhibitions, which opened in the capitol recently.
 The war department, in design ing the gigantic dam, found the piscatorial problem especially vexing. The Columbia river sal- mon industry is a multi-million dollar one, but the trouble is you can't tell which way fish is go- ing to jump, if any. The depart ment therefore built special causeways for ambitious fish so they can swim past the dam un der their own power.
 For lackadasical fish, fish with out much gumption, fish which merely would bump their noses into the dam and fret, the army engineers installated elevators.
 Just Imagine!
 Imagine, now, that you're a tir ed and weary fish, salmon, all worn out from the trip in from the ocean. You're in hurry to get where you're going-up the river-and here's a gigantic dam smack in your way. It makes you feel pretty sore at the govern ment and all, but you nudge around the dam anyway, because you haven't any place else to go.
 Pretty soon you find a hole, a big, black hole, so you swim in to see what you can see. Well, sir, you swim and you swim for a block or so through channel in solid concrete, and there, waiting for you is your elevator.
 It's a nice, comfortable elevator
