 Said Woodrum What is that program? First to get a proper psychology-fear fear-war, war is upon us. The President has already said we are going into Do you want to stay out of war? Send substantial contribution and we will stay out of war Now why stop at sending letters?

Q. Is it possible for girl to determine young mans character by the perfect way in which he wears his clothes and his suave manner?
 A. Not always. Remember that "The ass is still an ass. even though he wears a lions hide" Appearance es are sometimes deceiving.
 Q. Isn't it poor taste for a man to come to the table in his shirt sleeves?
 A. Yes. Of course man is en- titled to be comfortable at home, with his family, but when there are guests he should wear his coat.
 @. How should the forks be ar ranged at the plate, when setting the table?
 A. The fork to be used first is placed at the extreme left of the plate; this is usually for fish or entree. Second, towards the plate, place the meat fork; third, nearest the plate, the salad fork.

The great Congressional debate over neutrality now near it's end. has proceeded on high plane in the Senate where every member dropped partisanshp and took upon himself the mantle of statesmanship a condition all too rare nowadays.
 Not So in the House. There, overshadowed bv the real fight down the hall members have utilized their weeks of enforced sojourn in Washington to drag the neutrality issue through the political gutters It is fortunate for the peace dignity the nation that the dongs of the Representatives have not been given the publicity accorded those of the members of the upper house.
 Rep Hamilton Fish. who made a fool of himself Europe recently as he has been doing in this country for many years past sought discredt an opponent in debate the other day by shouting that he (Fish) was in the trenches 20 years ago while the opponent tRep Clifton A Woodrum of Virginia was on this side of the water
 That answer to the argument of Represen- tatve Woodrum, but anyone who reads the Congress sional Record understand why the perturbed MT Fish hurng all the verbal ammunition within his reach. There wasn't any answer to Woodrums witherng expose of this and other Fishes of the House.
 IL seems that Representative Fish organized a pressure group with the high sounding title of the National Committee to Keep America Out of Foreign Wars Fish is its Chairman; his Congressional Secre- tary Walter L. Reynolds is its Secretary Treasurer  The Committee is composed of 38 members of the House of Representatives That 37 of them Repub licans should indicate just what the Committees principle interest is The Committees headquarters according its fancy etterhead is Room 1424 in the House Office Building, the Congressional office of Representative Fish.
 letter sent out broadside by the Committee reads in part as follows "The time has when it is imperative that all of interested in keeping America out of foreign unite in a coordinated program to offset the New Deal war-hystera campaign that is now under full headway in the syndicated columns of the daily papers and the internationalist press through which false and misleading propaganda is disseminated to further agitate psychosis and prepare youth for another blood bath in Europe President Roosevelt has called special session of Congress to force reconsideration of the Bloom bill giving him authority to intervene in Europe's power politics, boundary disputes and blood feuds In perfecting our program will need funds Send us your contribution and get your friends to help

That red wine should be kept flowing until it rises to where the outline of the glass begins to curve back about half full.
 Red wines, says Pierre Lafitte, head of the wine cellars for a big New York importing house, should be served in eight or ten-ounce, tulip-shaped glasses.
 The object in not filling a wine glass to the brim is to leave space for the bouquet to accumulate; the curve of the glass helps concentrate it.
 Sherry glasses may be filled as much as three-quarters full Some people prefer vee-shaped glasses for sherry, but if you don't want to buy special glasses you may use a three or four-ounce tulip-shaped glass similar to the one in which you serve your red wines. \ Dry sherries may be chilled when

 Business Affairs: This is fairly favorable sway for retail business. Buying for holiday entertainments shis year will be lavish and the Thanksgiving hospitalities will be more extensive than ever before. Elaborate attire is to bring money o importers of jewels and furs.
 National Issues: Assistants to Cabinet officers are to gain special .ecognition before the new year. Promotions are forecast as long es- tablished careers come to close trough sudden death. Conservative deas are to be conspicuous as poli- ties, economic and financial, are dis ussed by high officials.

Neutral Or NOnc0mbatant?
Cincinnati Ennuirerl

Cincinnati Enquirer
 Implying as it does a scrupuous mpartialty the term neutral does not really apply the United States It would perhaps be better if the status considered that of a noncombatant nation. Neither the Amer- can people the American Government is neutral in the sense of impartiality
 The government already has a long record Of favortsm, which does not call for criticism, but is worth noticing Early the the President assert ed he did not expect Americans to be neutral in thought" Later he strongly urged repeal of the arms embargo not to help preserve American peace but in order to erase a policy which helps Germany against the Allies.
 The government has released reports from it's Am bassador to Poland which flatly accuse Germany of violating international law. The State Department has formally refused to recognize the new status of Poland, and instead maintains diplomatic relations with the shadow of a Polish Government in France. At Panama the American chief delegate urged ban admission of submarines, but not other warships, into ports of this hemisphere That clearly direct ed against Germany
 All these things confirm very plain desire to help the Allies desire shared by public opinion But they do not betray any weakness in the Administra- tonS determination to avoid participation in war. On the contrary the American Government has gone out of it's way to avoid controversy the Athenia has avoided making issue of submarines sighted off our coasts
 Finally, the Administration has urged the cash and-carry plan, which is something quite apart from repeal of the arms embargo These steps all point to realistic effort to escape participation in because they represent caution at exactly those points of friction with Germany that might precipitate hos tilitieS.
 In 1914 Woodrow Wilson urged citizens to remain neutral in thought well as deed, but was compelled to act when U-boats had taken heavy toll of Ameri- can lives Far realistic the Administration today is not pretending to impartiaity asking citizens to espouse it. But it is taking measures seeking measures, which will avoid the clash over American shipping that could produce war
 From the record thus far it can be safely said that if America does into the war it will be because the nation chooses to defend it's ongrange strategic interests not because of any hysteria created by marine warfare loss of American lives and cargoes
