Your
 Table 
Teaching the Children

Little folks are never too young to practice the first steps in correct conduct at the table, as you may easily see by comparison of the table manners Of the growing chil- dren of your different friends.
 As soon as e child can hold Q spon, he can hold 1t properly, and learn to take small bits of food at Q time instead of heaplng up all the spoon will hold, then allowing 1t to run over while being lifted to the mouth.
 Cut bread into small squares and butter then e few at 0 time for the very small child. Teach him to eat them slowly, one ct Q time, instead of pushing several pieces ct once into his mouth.
 Orderly eating Is encouraged If the child 6 served one or two foods lat c tlne instead of placing all be- fore him for indiscriminate dah- bling and mixing. Apportlon the different foods SO that the menu as Q whole will be well balanced, serv. Ing small enough portions of each 50 that there will be an appetite for all.
 As early as possible teach chil. dren to wipe the lips before drink ing from the glass of water or milk. See that they are reasonably quiet at the table, with no fussing or beating of utensils, and you will have few bad habits to correct as the child grows out of babyhood.

necessary at such Q ceremonial ana festive occasion"
 Stick Fork In Breast
 "place the turkey on It's back on Q large platter-don't crowd 1t onto Q smaller platter--with the legs to the right of the carver, The carving fork Is then inserted Into the breast to hold the bird firmly and to in- sure no mishaps. Some carvers pre- fer to use e roast clamp or carVer's assistant with prongs. Now you are ready to cut. Push the leg gently with the knife to avoid tearing the meat. Then cut through the thigh joint, which when severed should be placed on e service platter which Is at hand. Separate the drumstick from the thigh. The wing comes next and Is removed by cutting the joint where the wing and body united. Wing and thigh removed, the breast k free and allowed you to cut the white meat easily Into thin slices. The dark meat ,S usually cut in chunks because most people like 1t that way"
 Billy the Oysterman finished his lesson with Q bit Of serving advice, "serve c slice of white meat and A hunk of dark meat for each of your guests unless they express c desire for c special selection of their own. Cover the meat with giblet gravy, add 0 generous helping of cranberry sauce, Q large portion of mixed vel. low turnips and mashed potatoes, and you have q dish iit to serve Q king"
 Now you have two sets of instruc. tons from two famous carvers. They differ very little, 50 you are doubly instructed in the way to carve the Thanksgiving turkey.

A high point in the diplomatic Ca
reer of Charles c. Hart, former Min
lister to Iran and a principal figure
in a huge oil deal there, was an ON
cial report he sent to the State De-
partment on "the need Of exercise. +"
Hart, who was Washington news
paper correspondent from 1912 to
1925, was recalled by State Depart
ment officials today as a man with
"a grand sense Of humor." Many Of
his reports were written in q humor-
Gus vein.
One that drew laughter around the
world related how the British Minister
to Iran had been hurt in q horse
riding accident and said other able
bodied members of the diplomatic
corps were laid up with exercise in
juries. Hart, whose bad leg" kept
him from exercising, said he was the
only one fit for duty. His report was
widely published in this country and
abroad.
Born in Bryant. Ind. in 1878, Hart
was . newspaper publisher and editor
from 1897 to 1910. After his Capital
reporting experience. he was appointed
Minister to Albania by President Cool
idge In 1925.
Four years later he was assigned
to Persia, remaining there until 1888
Following his resignation. he came to
the United States, but later went back
to the East. Friends said he found
the climate there more agreeable.

Basement of Home.

DIR. Alfred L. Oberle, 81, petroleum
technologist and former member of
the Society of American Military En-
gineers, died in Emergency Hospital
last night shortly after being found
unconscious in the basement of his
home at 1915 Thirty-seventh street.
An autopsy was performed on his

could not be determined until a chem
ical analysis had been completed.
The coroner said DR.. Oberle was
found unconscious by his wife, Mrs.
Grace Oberle, who had him taken to
the hospital.
DIR. Oberle held patents on q num-
ber Of petroleum processes, most Of
which were patented since 1881.
According to records at the Patent
Office, the scientist secured patents in
1882 and 1888 on a process for making
anti-knock gas. He also invented q
process and apparatus for heating
petroleum jelly, described as an eco
nomical method of distilling oil for
gas and other by-products.
DR.. Oberle also secured, In 1888, a
patent for a new process for pro-
ducing carbonaceous material for
getting by-products from the residue
after the petroleum is distilled.
Other phases of his work dealt with
several types Of carbons, such as de-
colorizing, medicinal, gas mask and
collodial carbons. Some of these per-
tanned to processes for refining sugar

Baxter Warns Gouging Will
Be Held Imposition on
D. c. Visitors.

A number of downtown parking lots
plan to increase their rates for in
auguration day by offering advance
reservations Of space for 81 car, 1t
was learned today.
Operators of several lots, on the
other hand, said their rates would
not 60 up Wednesday. and that every
effort would be made to take care
of regular customers who patronize
them daily.
Norman w. Baxter. assistant chair
man Of the Inaugural Committee, said
any increase would be construed by
the committee as reflection on the
District and an imposition on the
visitors"
Baxter said Washington business
men had assured the committee that
prices for hotels, restaurants and park
ing lots would not be boosted for the
inaugural.
District authorities, at present, have
no power to regulate parking lot
charges. Most Of the lots Offering
reservations Of 81 said their regular
rates Of so cents a day would prevail
for unreserved space. The 81 rate
will prevail from am. to pm
Wednesday.
Managers Of several other parking
lots we're still without word from Their
Headquarters as to whether the rates
were to go up Wednesday.
