Good Taste

A NEW YEARS DAY PARTY


Dear Mrs. Post: Ny husband
is an executive in company
which has eleven other men in
similar positions as department
heads. The man who owns the
company each year gives Christ
mas week buffet supper for these
men and their wives. A few OF
these people have given buffet
suppers in return. We have done
nothing. I can't tell YOU how I'M
happy I feel at not being able to
invite this group, but my house is
too small to ask every one and 1
don't want to invite them in
smaller groups because have
met these people only at these
company parties. Is there any,
thing helpful you could possibly
tell me? You have written that
1t isn't necessary to return a party
in kind, but surely one has to
make some sort Of comparable re-
turn.
Answer: Ny best advice is not
to worry about the limitations of
your housekeeping. II you are
ever in a situation where you can
give a comparable party, then
you would give 1t, but until that
time comes it is not necessary
or expected-that you do any
thing. In fact, If all twelve of you
gave parties this would mean on
the average of one company party
a month OF course. if this advice
is not going to make you any
more happy than you say you are,
then my best suggestion is that
you invite them all to come in
on New Years day for glass
of eggnog. Preparation for this,
which I wrote about in this col
umn just the other day, would be
no more than a bowl of good egg
nog. a fruitcake, and platter Of
thin sandwiches of plain bread
and butter. If possible, II would
be very nice las I also said the
other day. to serve hot tea as
well as eggnog for those who may
find eggnog too rich.
HOW A GENTLEMAN BOWS
Dear Mrs. Post: The young
man my daughter is to marry has
never been taught to stand with
his feet together when he bows
to a lady. Would you please write
some directions for this, because
the young man would like to do
what is right. In this instance, I
know he isn't conscious of the
fact that he is doing anything
wrong and 1 thought perhaps he
would catch on when he reads
your answer.
Answer: Oh my! oh my! A
gentleman does not stand straddle-
legged unless in the very informal
circumstances of warming HIM
self in front of the fire. Bowling,
on the other hand, is an action Of
formality. Little boys in dancing
school are always taught to bring
their heels smartly together. keep
their knees rigid. their backs
straight, hinge first at the hip and
then at the neck. AS long as they
are young they follow these direc-
tons stiffly, but by the time they
are grown men they bow without
the violent heel click and the
stiffness, even though the motions
remain essentially the same.

loudly. This cat, I believe, may
have an important bearing upon
your husbands murder. 1t is
quite possible that it was used

was suicide-and then something

NXOTOR EXPERTS are facing problems

AV1OTOR EXPERTS are facing problems
today that oils, once favored in spite of higher

These experts report that modern motors,
with their new metals and new metal finishes,
close-ftting parts tiny openings for oil flow, high
compressions, high speeds, and high tempera-

up brand-new problem! Varnish may form,
sticky at first and soon baking to hard film
Pistons and piston rings stick. Oil grooves clog.
Friction increases. Motor drag develops. En-
gines are hard to start. They lose power and
consume extra gasoline.

Trains Without Tracks

A train without track would be as useless as the
truck that completes with it without the modern
highway.
Of everything that goes to make up a railway.
tracks and roadbeds the costly. Similarly,
the investment in highways and streets is greater
than the investment in the vehicles that use them.
The railroads proride and maintain their
oWn "roadWays". Less than onetenth of the
nations railroad mileage was built with the aid Of
land grants, and the full value OF these has since
been repaid many times over through low land
grant rates government business. The road
way" expense of the railways takes nearly one
fourth of every dollar they take in
Besides providing and maintaining their own
"roadways', the railways pay taxes them.
And the taxes which the railroads pay altogether,
about 10 cents of every dollar they take in go
help support the various functions of government,
such schools, relief, courts, highways and the like.
None of their taxes goes toward the cost of providing
and maintaining their ''roadways".
The railroads share in the general benefits
of government, and expect to stand their share
of the cost.
In striking contrast, their competitors the high
ways-who also share in the general benefits Of
government take the position that they should pay
comparable part Of the cost.
They insist that the taxes they pay including
license fees and gasoline taxes, about cents of
every dollar they take in be used exclusively for
their benefit that their taxes be applied only
toward the cost Of providing and maintaining the
ercy highways that essential to the conduct
of their business
. And considering the extraordinary cost OF pro-
viGing and maintaining the kind OF highways
necessitated by these larger vehicles, which carry
the heaviest loads and travel the largest mieages
annually competent highway authorities includ-
ing the highway departments Of several states, hold
that these trucks paying little
fourth of their fair share of the highway bill.
Exemption from, fair share of taxes for
schools, relief, and similar functions of goUern-
,ent, plus substantial sub sidies in the matter
of roadway costs, are GIFTS from the tax
paying public ,Uhich the railroads do not get
and do not seek. But they do ask for a chance
to compete under fair and equal conditions.
