There are always fresh fish in
Washington markets, and, If the de-
mand were greater. there would be
even more. fresh fish than there are.
Fish Is not expensive, and 1t Is 50 good
for both grown-ups and children that
it seems too bad housekeepers do not
give it q bigger play than they do.
EOR instance, why not have Tues
day . secondary fsh day? By
then, usually. the scraps Of Sundays
roast have been laid to rest in the
soup pot, and . 'bit of fish," as the
old book has 1t, would taste fair
fine!" As . preliminary canter. We
might take q look at what the experts
say about the selection and purchase
of fish:
In addition to personal preference
the housekeeper should give due con-
sideration to which fish are in season,
which are best for frying, baking,
broiling or boiling. as the case may be,
and to the purchase Of first-class ma
terial.
Because Of their delicate structure
and flesh, fish and shellfish tend to
spoil rapidly, and therefore must be
well iced until they are ready to be
cooked. When buying, be sure that
the eyes Of fsh are bright and not
sunken, that the gills are free from bad
odor and that the scales cling well to
the skin.
II oysters and clans are bought in
the shell, see that the shells are firmly
held together. Crabs and Holsters. un-
less cooked at the market, should be
alive and walking" when purchased.

Procedure
At tWedding
Reception
Problem of Cue t
Whose Husband
Is Usher.
BY EMILY POST.

DEAR MRS. POST: Doesn't my
husband, who is to be an usher
at wedding, have to spend any time
with me-a stranger-at the recep-
tion? am invited to everything,
but none Of the husbands and wives
Of the attendants have been asked
to sit with the wedding party at
breakfast and feel little appalled,
ut the thought Of being entirely alone
at the reception.
Answer-How busy your husband
will be kept at the reception depends
upon whether the reception is a
formal one, at which the women
guests stand in line, each on the arm
Of an usher, who presents her to the
bride and groom, or whether the
guests go up to the bridal couple by
themselves. But in any event your
husband would certainly join you Gf
he does not 60 with you) when you
arrive at the reception and introduce
you to every one in the receiving line.
And unless he, too, is a stranger he
would introduce other friends of his
to you before leaving you to usher
other guests. Or perhaps he will be
free to stay with you until the bridal
party takes its place at table.
During the breakfast he would be
obliged to leave you, but since, ac-
sording to your account. there will be
other unattached husbands and wives
there. it seems to me that you would
naturally form a group together. II
for any reason this is not practical,
then the only thing to do is to con-
slider the happenings around you as
you would were you an onlooker at q
spectacle. 1t is not at all embarrass-
ing, and not even unamusing, II you
can assume an impersonal point of
view. Probably you think am talk
ing nonsense. As matter Of fact,
remember an occasion, many years
ago. when young woman found her
self alone at party among complete
strangers-and she did Just that!
She watched what was going on with
such evident enjoyment of the picture
surrounding her that, as it happened.
she was not long alone. But even If
she had been I am sure she would
not have minded at all. To sit alone
and neglected among people one
knows would be another matter.

speak. Nothing interests her but pots
and pans and dining room curtains.
She is always a failure in the COM
mercial world because her heart is not
in it, so we may eliminate her. But
there is the other girl who is clever,
quick in apprehension, energetic, who
gets into the swing Of business and
senses the romance and adventure of
the big game that men play, and the
question is what has her experience in
business done to fit her or unfit her for
marriage?
On the good side, it has taught her
promptness and efficiency and neat
ness and order. She has learned to
do her work systematically and accu-
rately instead of helter-skelter and by
guesswork, as so many women do their
housework. She has learned self
control and not to burst into tears and
have Mysteries every time anything
she does Is criticized. She has ac-
quired tact in handling disagreeable
and unreasonable clients and Gus
toners and how to rub the fur Of
cantankerous bosses the right way.
CHE has learned the value Of money.
No woman who knows from per-
sonal experience how much weariness
and striving, how much blood and
sweat goes into the making Of dollar,
ever looks at one with the same eyes
that the woman does who has always
had everything given to her and thinks
that men have only to wave q magic
wand and their pocketbooks are filled.
The business woman knows that the
Tired Business Man Is no myth. She
has been one herself and knows how
to sympathi2e with him and cater to
him. These things are all assets to q
girl when she marries.
On the other hand, the bad points
are that the girl who goes from school
to an office has no time nor oppor-
tunity in which to learn how to cook
and keep house and make q comfort-
able home. More often than not she
is q bitterly disillusioned woman who
has had to telephone to too many
wives that their husbands were in con.
ference when they were out with plat
mum blonds to have any faith left in
men. Hence she Is likely to be suspi-
cious and jealous.
Having had her own pay envelope,
she refuses to panhandle her husband
for money and demands fair share
Of the family income. Being capable
Of supporting herself. she is no meek
Griselda, and will not stand for the
treatment that a dependent wife will.
II she doesn't like husbands tone Of
voice and his remarks about the bis
cults, she can Just put on her hat and
60 out and get q job.
But the worst thing Of all that busi-
ness experience does to girls Is that
they 30 often get enamored Of the rush
and excitement Of commercial life, Of
doing things In q big way, Of the COM
ing and going Of people and Of some
thing new happening every minute
that they cannot adjust themselves to
the quiet and monotony Of domesticity
and Of working alone. They. are fret
full and peevish and discontented wives.
always longing for their old jobs. And
there we are. Whether the good out.
weighs the evil. who knows?

Dorothy Dix Says
Business Training for Girls Has It's Good
and Bad Features.
and Bad Features.

A LMOST every girl in these days
~ studies some trade or profess
~ sion by which she may be
4 "A self-supporting. and, as a gen.
eral thing, she goes from the school
room to the shop or ONCE or factory.
This Is As 1t should be, because, for
one thing. it gives q girl poise and
dignity and self-respect to be able to
pay her own way and stand on her
own feet. For another reason. it is
the best insurance she can take out
against the hazard of uncertain fate.
And, for another reason, it enables
her to marry for love and not for a
meal ticket.
But there are no unmixed blessings
In this world, and, while the wholesale
shift of young girls at the formative
time of their lives from the home to
the business world may better fit them
to be regular human beings. there Is
no denying that in many other ways
it units them for domesticity, which,
after all, Is their predestined calling
in life.
It Is only the abnormal woman who
would rather espouse a career than q
man, and who would prefer listening
to q sales talk to love talk. The great
majority Of girls look upon their jobs
as merely . bridge Of sighs that spans
the interval between their graduations
and their wedding days. Their ambi-
tions are not to be crackerjack stenog-
raphers or supersaleswomen or high
salaried buyers. but to get married
and have homes and husbands and
children. Which again Is as it
should be.
OUCH being the case, however, and
girls spending . lot of time and
money fitting themselves for one oc-
cupation when they intend to follow
another line Of work that Is totally
different and that calls for different
knowledge and training and tech
nique, it is interesting to consider
what the effects Of her little flyer
in business has upon the modern young
woman, and whether it increases or
decreases her chances Of making her
marriage q success.
OF course, there Is q type of girl

National Congress
Passed Many Acts
OF Farm Interest
Farm Bureau Reports Favorable
Action On More Than
Forty Proposals

Farmers of the nation were direct
ly concerned with approximately so
of the Legislative proposals considered
by the recently adjourned session of
the National Congress, according to
a report of the session just received
by Maryland Farm Bureau leaders
from Chester H. Gray, Washington
representative of the American Farm
Bureau Federation. The great major
ity of those measures sponsored or
supported by organized farmers re-
ceived favorable consideration, the re-
port shows.
The Soils Conservation Measure is
considered in the report as the most
important single law adopted at the
session. This measure is designated
as providing more permanent policy
for the conservation and profitable
use of agricultural lands, and is the
basis around which farmers can build
a national program for their industry,
Continuance of the S1s percent in
terest rate on farm mortgages of the
Federal Land Bank system, and the
passage of the bill to regulate ex-
changes dealing in farm commodities
are two of the other legislative &C.
tons which are branded as important
by Mr.. Gray. Both are expected to
aid agriculture, the first by reducing
the cost of agricultural finance, and
the other by preventing violent day
to day fluctuations in the price OF
many farm products.
Provision for extension of electri.
fication, additional funds for farm to
market roads, extension work anc
agricultural teaching in high schools
and taxes on imported fats and oil:
which compete with dairy products Of
the country are other matters of i'm.
portance listed by the report.
"The fact that the Congress gave
favorable consideration to the wishe.
of organized farmers in more than Al
to so matters indicates that legisla.
tors realize the disparity Of agricul
ture and other industries Of tn,
nation" says C. E. Wise, Jr., secre.
tary of the Maryland Farm Burear
in commenting on Mr.. Gray's report

The Archimedes Principle

The loss of weight of body sub
merged in liquid is the weight of
the displaced liquid. It is supposed
that this principle was discovered
by the Greek philosopher Archime-
des (287-212 B. CO. who had been
ordered by Hero, king of Syracuse,
to find whether a goldsmith had
mixed silver with the gold used
in making a crown. To do this
without destroying the crown was
perplexing problem. But one day
while Archimedes was at the public
bath, he noticed that his body was
buoyed up by the water in which it
was submerged. Seeing in this the
solution of his problem, he is said
to have rushed home shouting
"Eureka!" Il have foun1 it,.
