average again. To the fellows In,
just Dick-one of the crowd. To the
girls I'm Just another date. They
accept my invitations readily enough
but they'd as soon go out with g
dozen other fellows who rate as high
as l do
But you've played mean trick
on me. Since I've been reading
your column haven't been satisfied
with my lot. Now l want to stand
out from the crowd. Being another
ordinary guy won't do any longer.
I'm writing to you in the hope
that you will be able to help me tc
be lot more than ordinary-help
me improve my rating with the
girls and fellows know. Especially
with the girls! How about it?"
DICK r.
Although Dicks letter is all we
have to go by. we think he "has
something there" Certainly a man
or a maid with the desire to improve
can improve.
Dick uses the word ordinary
often, but we feel sure that he won't
be an ordinary fellow or an ordinary
'1late" If he starts using a little
Imagination and finesse-if he ac-
quires what we call social technique.
That isn't hard to do.
The fellow who has tremendous
interest in other people possesses
social technique. He is so sincerely
interested in them-their lives, &C
tivities, plans and ambitions--that
automatically they are drawn towarc
him. He is no longer "just one of
the crowd" because he Is interested
In them. He's special!
The fellow who knows his way
around has social technique. He
compliments girls by doing every
thing in his power to make their
dates with him anything but ordi-
nary-whether or not he has much
money to spend.
Tom. for example, is one of this
select few Every girl he dates knows
that he believes only the best, the
smooth, and the original are good
enough for her. He gets this i'm
portant idea across by using his
imagination when planning even the
most ordinary evening at the movies.
He asks the girl to select the pic
ture, naming several good ones. He
knows where he can park his car
easily, eliminating aimless driving
around in search of vacant spot,
Entering the theater. he asks the
girl where she would like to sit. They
enter just before the picture starts,
because smooth Tom has taken the
trouble to discover the starting time
In advance.
Tom knows the best night for
dancing at the local ballroom, the
most picturesque place in town for
eats after the show, that bicycle rid
ing and hiking are fun, that there's
something very special about a
luncheon date, that first date
should be a single date-no doubles

Cookie dough stored in a re-
frigerator often becomes hard
ened on the surface. To pre-
vent this sprinkle the dough
with cold water and wrap it
tightly in WaXed paper before
you store it.
In making fruit gelatin salads
it is a good idea to add a little
real fruit juice to the gelatin
liquid. A better flavor will re-
suit than when water alone is
used. In fish, fowl or other meat
gelatin salads, chicken broth
or bouillon cubes dissolved In
boiling water will also give
added flavor.

Greenwich Leads State
 In Per Capita Costs
Pays Highest Amount For Adequate Community Health
 Program = Average Placed at 80 Cents

According to Franklin M. Foote, M. D., in charge of Local Health Administration, State Department of Health, there is direct connec- ton between per capita costs and results in local health work, in an article in the departments current monthly bulletin for it was shown that those cities which had high per capita cost had low death rates while a higher death rate prevailed in the towns with low per capita costs for health work.
 Doctor Foote pointed out that the standards set up by the American Public Health Association Commit tee on Administrative Practice in- dicate the need for approximately $2.00 to $2.50 per capita for an ade- quate community health program. There is only one town in Connec- ticut, Greenwich, which has as yet attained this figure, the average per capita cost ranging from 80 cents in cities with a population of 50,000 and over, 61 cents for those in the 10000 to 5000O population class, 25 cents for those from 5000 to 10000 population and about 45 cents for the smaller towns. The study re- vealed that death rate of 9.8 per 1000 population prevailed in the SC cent per capita class comparing fa- vorably with the state rate of 99 for the same year 1887, while in the g cent per capita class there was a death rate of 105 per 1000 popula

cumstances, the wonder is they have been able to accomplish so much, at such little cost.
 Solution Difficult
 Working out traffic problems is hard and arduous task. Ones opinion, as rule, is just as good as the other. Every city has its troubles in this respect. Pain and the service employed to use it cost considerable, and coupled with this, is budget that must not be exceeded.
 But the new regulation on the north side of our fine old Green made us think about "Old Out East. We do not wish to be forgotten. We want our share, if we can properly get it.
 Out here we have some fine people, good people, and respect ed citizens. We want them for many years to come; we do not wish to have them forced to take any more chances than the other fellow; we want to have them live, to a good old age, for the benefit of our great little community and the good of the city. The many of us who do not own auto- mobiles expect little better pro- lection than we have been get ting when we cross from the south side of East Main street to the north side, especially in and about the vicinity of the church of the Sacred Heart. Many people out here go to church, al- though there are some of us like the Out Easter who knows no church, and never expects to learn the true meaning of Christianity But even a non-believer has a right to live.
 Check Speeding
 Unless something is done, il may be the business men of our district will petition for a regula tion of the automobile traffic Cars speed too fast out here to the detriment of those of u. anxious to rush home for "a bitt or two" at the noon hour, anc many others in addition to tho factory worker.
 An estimated speed of 25 miles an hour may yet be the rule ol the road, unless drivers get il into their heads that the Out East Walking Public has a legal right to the use of the highway once in awhile.

(BY THE OUT EASTER)

There is no disposition on our part to criticize those in charge of the police Timing" with yellow paint the various highways of Waterbury, but if we had our say long white or yellow line would be drawn along the center of East Main street and West Main street for the full distance, and in so doing we think the public would get better break in its effort to cross the street at varl- ous corner points along both of these important thoroughfares.
 Flirting With Death
 Out here in the East End, 1t is almost suicidal at times to at tempt to cross at Wall street or at the junction of Wolcott street, or at William street or at Or ange street. Drivers rush pell mell regardless of speed condi- tions, and take chances that sometimes look as though they care little regarding the safety of the pedestrian. We see it every day; we notice it every night. Just because a patrolman is as- signed to patrol duty, does not excuse him from meeting a situ- ation that carries with it the re- sponsibility of holding up traffic for the benefit of those who wish to cross to the other side. But this at times is even dangerous to the patrolman. There are no spotlights along East Main street, and If patrolman stations him. self in the center of the highway, he is liable to be boWled off just as readily as a person not in uniform.
 We do not say it is an easy matter to regulate; we know it isn't anything of the kind. But it is our belief that center line would help greatly in a reduction of the reckless driving we see out here daily. The, work of the yellow crew" under Lieut.. James Wagner and Sergeant Patrick Fo- ley calls for the commendation of the entire citizenry. No two of- ficers work harder for solution of the various questions that concern the safety of the people. But they can go only so far. Their powers are limited Under the cir

What may be the final indoor event of the season at the Wash ington park Community house will be offered tonight by the Washing ton park fife and drum corps in the second presentation of the three act mystery drama Who Was the Mur- derer?"

During the closing days of the season the mid- get league teams played all the pre- liminaries to the senior league play offs.
 Leading parts in the play are taken by Dudley Costenbader, Gene Ford, Harold Newell, Bebe Neville, Nancy Donahue and Thomas Shell A large supporting cast also takes part. The play has been directed by William J. Gaughan.
