Why Haven't You
Married?

I am conducting a nation
wide survey ON this subject.
You can help me by writing
me briefly why you have not
married. rIeaSe do 1t today.
Address, George AntheiI, Mr.
riage Survey, in care of this
newspaper.

SGd
But True
Don't go around thinking up
excuses for any chap who neg.
lects you. Face the music-he
doesn't care, and that, dear
students, is that!
Luke-warmish attention spells
a desire to be amused, or to pass
the time, but it doesn't spell
that word you dream about
'love." So clear the old brain Of
that bewildered, puzzled feeling
and take it on the chin-you
are not loved if you are neg.
lected!
She Requires
Experience
Here is a young lady who
needs this lesson:
Dear Mr.. Antheil: I shall
dive headlong into my dilemma.
John and have been going to-
gether for almost a year.
For six months we had fun
keeping company. We both dis
cusSed marriage and agreed that
was what we wanted as soon as
we were financially able. But he
isn't working. For several
months he looked for work, but
lately he has stopped looking. I
don't feel I have the right to
nag him. He is young and
healthy, and even in these times,
if his heart were in it, I think
he could find work.
There is another catch. He
is forever singing the praises Of
his former fiancee. try to be
broadminded in this, too, but
when he says he saw her and
that she is getting swell-looking.
I inwardly writhe with jealousy.
But / say something nice about
her, too. I could be a cat and
scratch, but I hate that in peo-
pie I can't come out and tell
him how I feel, however.
Would Not
Interfere
"I wonder If he doesn't look
for work because he doesn't
want to get married. If that is
so. why doesn't he come out and
say so? If he wants to go back
to his old girl, and I don't meas
ure up to his ideal, why isn't he
square enough to tell me? I am
nearly worn out trying to hit on
what he wants. I love him
above all things, but wouldn't
stand in the way of his genuine
happiness.-Jeanette."
You just couldn't stand in his
way, if you wanted to do so.
Most likely the other girl does,
because he wants her and can't
have her. He accepts your COM
pany as substitute. If you can
stand that, go to it. But If I
were you, I would do without his
company for a while until he
decided you were worth more
than than Just a lukewarm af-
fection.

Dick thought he'd found the
only girl in the world when he
met Evelyn that day at the
beach. Naturally, he wanted
her to meet ms mother.
Poor Evelyn! She Is so anX-
ious to make a good impression
that she is overplaying her part.
Trying to appear nonchalant
and at home, she has perched
herself on the edge of her
chair. legs crossed, skirt above
her knees.
Horrid
Affectation
She is laughing and talking
self.consciously, at the same
time rudely pointing. AS a last
straw, when tea is served, she
lifts her cup with exaggeratedly
curled little finger.
No wonder Dick looks miSer-
able, and his mother shocked.
Why can't Evelyn relax in her
chair, feet modestly crossed,
skirt in place?
Why doesn't she let the older
woman guide the conversation?
Why doesn't she wait till she
and Dick are alone before using
his pet name? Why does she
giggle and flutter her hands
nervously?

Good Manners:
Write It
Within
Few Days
By MRS. CORNELIUS
BEECKMAN

l. letter is your oppor-
tunity to show that you are
a pleasant and appreclative
guest.
Write this letter within a
few days after you have re-
turned home. The sooner
you write it, the easier it will
be for you to make your
words blossom with "sweet
rememberings." Always ad-
dress your letter to the
hostess; at least, write the
first letter to your hostess,
even if you later write indi-
vidual ones to other members
of the family. In the letter
to your hostess, express your
appreciation, too, to the host
for his hospitality.
Put Yourself
In Her Place
AS you take your pen in
hand" to write this letter, your
thoughts and words will flow
more facilely if you consider
the point Of view of your host
ess as she reads your letters.
Put yourself in her place, and
think what you would like to
be thanked for, If you were
she. Then your words won't
seem to take her hospitality for
granted. There probably was
extra planning to be done, extra
time and budgeting, adaptation
on the part of all the members
of the family. You have to be
q pretty nice guest to deserve
all this, and your letter should
indicate that you we're!
Refer to
Special EUents
Besides thanking for the gen.
eral spirit Of hospitality, re-
member to thank for special
plans made for your comfort
and entertainment. A lovely
room looking on some quiet
trees that your hostess knew
would bring you a needed rest.
Opportunities to meet delight
full friends of the family. Your
favorite sports thoughtfully
planned for. A tea, a luncheon,
q bridge party, a dinner, a
dance given in your honor. Mo-
tor rides, picnics arranged for
you. Such specially made plans
call for special thanks.
Don't think that I am ad-
vising you to write about all
these things. am trying to
draw out from the ordinary
visit a detail or two which
will check up with your ex-
Perience and which deserved
thanks. Your bread,and.butter
letter needn't to be a four-or.
five page expression-of-thanks
But on the other hand, it
should not be stiff or formal.

HITLER CHASING !. POLISH JEWS ACROSS BORDER
Hundreds Routed Out of Beds Under Pretense
 of New Polish Law

BERLIN, Oct. 28-Authoritativt sources said today that Nazi au- thorities already have sent several thousand Polish Jews living in Ger many back to Poland after a nation wide roundup.
 In Berlin alone, several hundred Polish Jews were. routed from their beds in early morning raids which were semi-officially explained as in- tended to forestall application of the new Polish law which might deprive thousands of Jews in Germany of Polish citizenship.
 The German government esti- mated 15O,000 residents of Germany were Polish citizens The Polish law becomes effective Sunday and all those by that date must have pass ports revalidated by Polish consul lates. Failure to obtain revalidation means they can never again enter Poland. Between four and six thou sand Polish Jews are affected.

Utilities Join
 Government in
 Defense Program
Big Companies Will Double Output to Speed Up
 Arms Manufacturing

WASHINGTON, Oct. 28.-A dozen big utility companies are joining hands with the Federal govern ment in its national defense pro- gram, and, it was disclosed today will spend two billion in the next two years to expand the output oi electric power.
 Floyd Carlisle of the Consolidat- ed Edison Company said the amount was virtually double the present ex- penditures for such expansion.
 As the first step the utilities an- nounced definite commitments" oi enough factory orders to supply generating power capable of pro- ducing a million kilowatts. The com- mitments were given as part of the administrations effort to strengthen power facilities for the nations strategic war material manufactur- ing centers.
 Carlisle said substantial govern ment financing was involved but not in the form of grants, rather it probably would lend money or buy securities in the same manner as a bank.

Japan Moves to

 Policy in China
Strained Relations with U. s. Loom Under Latest
 Tokyo Pronouncement

TOKYO, Oct 28.-The Japanese newspaper Asahi today declared that the Japanese Government con- siders as unsuitable the American insistence on a continued "Open Door Policy in China.
 The newspaper says a new situa- tion exists in the Far East, follow ing the capture of Canton and sub- jection of that portion of China to Japanese rule.
 The newspaper predicts that Jap an will seek to induce the United States to accept this thesis.
 The Government has not official ly replied to the United States note declaring that the "open door pol icy" must continue and that unless Japan recognizes this policy, Japan csc interests in the United States and the favorable treatment &C., corded to Japanese trade may be jeopardied, also relations between the United States and Japan may become strained.

TOKYO, Oct. 28-A Foreign Off, flee statement issued today, says Premier Prince Konoye has warned France that Japan might be com pelled to take measures if the French continue to supply China with arms.
 It is believed this means possible Japanese occupation of Hainan Is- land, just off the South China coast, one of the points of the French sphere of influence. If blow were struck it would be a dagger aimed at the very heart of the vast French Oriental possessions.

IS DYING; SON
 IS SOUGHT

A persistent band of radio anna teurs are trying to penerate the far reaches of Alaska, via short wave, to tell Henry L. Walther that his mother is dying in Chicago of can- cer, complicated by heart disease that is threatening her life.
 The mother is Mrs. Alice Walther, aged 68 She calls constantly for her son.
 All ham stations and operators, working in relays out of Chicago, across to the Pacific Coast, and then to Alaska, hope the message will be picked up by amateurs in Alaska and passed on to Walther whose last known address was King Cove, Aleutian Peninsula.
 Associated Press dispatches re- ceived by The Empire late last night, from Chicago and Seattle, stated that the chances of getting mes sage to Walthers was through CO., operation of a Vancouver, B. C., amateur working with amateurs in Alaska.
 A dispatch from Reginald .Tebbets, of the California State Police. said he had successfully forwarded the message to Juneau, enlisting the powerful short wave station at Hol- lyWood.
 The Associated Press message was received in Juneau, notwithstanding atmospheric conditions prevailing last night, but as far as could be
