Nazi political quarters described
as "impudent" a counter British

the action was only intended to

'This shows the disregard with
which the English believe they can

with ice forming rapidly about her.
1t was pointed out that if the Alt
mark claimed customs exemption at
Bergen it would have been possible
to keep the existence of prisoners
secret from Norwegian inspectors
boarding her only briefly.
Only Statement
The only official statement to in
dictate Norway's attitude toward the
ships status was in a speech last
night by Foreign Undersecretary
Jens Bull, who said foreign CONNER
cial vessels, and even warships,
have the right to innocent passage
in neutral territorial waters when
they submit to certain rules.
There are no reports that the
Altmark acted against these rules"
he said.
The fact that Norway in protest
ing to Britain asked return Of the
British prisoners was regarded as
possible indication Norwegian au-
thorities, in their preliminary judg-
ment at least, regarded the Altmark
as a commercial vessel.
Germany's strong protest to Nor
way, accusing her of failure to pro-
vide the Altmark adequate protec-
ton and asking r~eparation, was be-
ing treated with concern. Diplo-
matte circles took it for granted
Berlin would ask return of the
vessel.
Foreign Minister Halvdan Koht
returned to Oslo from Trondheim
where he said in a speech last night
that Norway was forced by superior
might to submit to Britain action.
"This does not give the Germans
the right to extend the war to Nor
wegian territory and nothing in
dicates that the German govern
ment intends to do So" Koht de-
clared.

Sometimes a girl is inarticulate

But sometimes girl doesn't tell

mothers vulgar curiosity. She feels
that mother has no right to violate

what their little innocent plans are.
Sometimes girls don't confide in
mother because mother is blab,
who tells everything she knows, and
they don't want their affairs to be

And often girl doesn't tell
mother everything, because mother
feels it her sacred duty to correct

Which forces us to the bleak con-
clusion that many Greek letter or

members even the rudiments of So
cial training. And if a college man
doesn't even acquire some social
polish out of his years in frater-
nifty house, just what does he get
that justifies fraternity member
ship?
When Jed, our friend, made the
first call at his chapter house he was
alone. He entered the imposing and
expensive edifice and looked around.
A few dear brothers were sitting on
side porch, talking to the girls
whom they had invited up for COM
mencement week end. They stayed
there.
In one corner, another brother was
talking to a man about the music
for the evenings dancing. The
man left, and the unknown brother
brushed past Jed, muttering some
remark about having to get some
body to move furniture.
Jed walked to the door of the card
room, and looked in. Several peo-
pie were playing bridge, complete
with kibitzers. The bridgers bridged,
the kibitzers kibitzed, and Jed stood
outside, waiting for somebody to
make a move. Nobody made one,
SO he left.
When he returned that evening"
he was accompanied by his wife,
and by Bill-Bill being another
alumnus of the same chapter. The
dance was in progress when they
walked up to the house and an
nounced themselves to the Fresh
man at the door. He was so upset
that he just stood there, suffering.
Two or three other brothers dashed
up, apparently believing the visitors
were rank outsiders trying to crash
the party, and fully prepared to toss
them out. The Freshman whispered
word of explanation, and the
houncers skunk away.
The trio stood in the doorway for
ten minutes, determined not to
force themselves in, waiting for
some manifestation of brotherly
courtesy. 1t didn't come. A couple

body suggested that they dance. A
few looked at them curiously, or
hostilely, but otherwise they were

men just went on dancing and chew
ing their gum.
Finally, realizing that it was use
less to expect anything else, they
gave up. Jed and his wife danced
one dance, while Bill stood alone
just inside the door. Then Bill and
the girl danced once, while Jed stood
alone at the door. Then they al

are very soiled. Extravagant as
leather gloves for summer have
seemed before this, they are now
highly practical, due to these fea-
lures of instability.
In all lengths, designs and colors,
leather gloves are now obtainable.
Many women prefer dark gloves to
white, and they are really most
appealing as contrast to pastel en-
sembles. These also can be kept
fresh by dousing them in rich suds
and though they may seem to
"bleed" or fade a bit, don't let it
worry you. They should tighten
evenly and still come out right with
your costumes.
Follow the same routine on these
darker colors as you do on the white
gloves. Rinse first in clear water
and then again in sudsy lukewarm
water. This soapy last rinse is right
for all leather except capeskin and
kid but for these, clear lukeWarm
water without soap is to be used
To keep gloves soft and pliable
finger press them when they are
almost dry. Knead them over your
hand or on glove stretcher until
they are as soft as they were origi-
nally. Leather gloves are smart
looking, and now, with their eX-
cellent laundering qualities, just as
economical to keep looking fresh
and neat as any others.
If, however, you are of the fabric
glove-school- thought, you'll be
delighted with the wealth of styles
now obtainable. Delicate open work
designs and the new desirable longer
lengths are features of these, par
ticularly lovely in the Gone With
the Wind" styles. Inexpensive and
smart looking, these fabric gloves
are also exceptionally cool and COM
Portable. And needless to say, they
wash like dream.

We're not quite sure how we got
from hands to feet, but this seems as
good place as any to discuss the
problem of keeping white shoes
clean and shining. Although a great
many of our collegiate friends are
convinced that white shoes aren't
worth rap until they're positively
filthy, the average woman much pre-
fers to keep her white footwear just
as neat and clean as the rest of her
light accessories.
The best method we've discovered
so far, and this applies to white
buck or summer suede. is to equip
ourself with two or three sheets of
newspaper, a bottle of liquid polish,
sponge or cloth and small
brush, stiff but not too harsh. We
have found that by first gently
brushing the shoes to remove all eX-
cess dirt, then applying the liquid
cleaner, allowing it to become par
TALLY dry, and finally brushing
again to raise the nap. our shoes
don't get smooth and glossy as is
often the result of too much clean
ing. Another thing we like is that
by this method we can often just
brush the shoes instead of cleaning
them SO frequently. With the aid
of white powder bag to touch up
the spots, it all works out beauti-
fully. (The newspaper is spread on
the floor to protect the rug from
polish; we invariably sit on the floor
for this solemn riteD
We don't know whether all this
meets with the approval of shoe ex-
perts, and, frankly, we don't really
care. All we know is that it has
worked like a charm for us, and
that this labor-saving procedure and
its satisfactory results are going to
make our summer happier.

are trying to find tasty foods low in
calories, the lemon can be a real
friend to you. For example, serve
lemon juice with salt on tomatoes,
sliced cucumbers, lettuce, combina-

place of heavy dressings. Lemon
juice may also be substituted for
rich sauces served with fish and
vegetables and may replace cream
and sugar with tea.

Dorothy Dix Says 80
Mothers Must Not Expect Their
Daughters to Be Like Them

Dear Miss Dix: I have the best OF
husbands and nice home, but my
heart is breaking over the way my
only child treats me. It isn't that
her conduct causes me any anxiety
She is good girl, a senior in high
school and she gets fine marks, but
she just won't confide in me. I long
for her to tell me everything she
does and thinks. I want to hear all
about her friends and what they do,
but she never has anything to say
unless ask her, and then she says
no more than is necessary. I come
from very large and sociable fam
lily, and love to have some one to
talk things over with, but I can't
get anything out of my daughter.
Even when I scold her for staying
at her girl friends house as late as
10 o'clock at night, all that she says
Is that she is sorry. She lets me say
whatever I want to, but never tries
to explain her side of the story. I
crave companionship and friendly
people about me, and it makes me
so unhappy for my daughter 10 act

Can you suggest a method of ham
ding her? A SAD MOTHER.
Answer-Yes, can, but it is one
that you will not like and perhaps
you are constitutionally unable to
follow it. 1t is to let the poor girl
alone and quit trying to pry into he1
thoughts and check up on all she
does. Respect her privacy.
Also, recognize that the girl is
what nature made her, just as you
are. You are of the gabby type
while she is silent. You never tire
of the sound of your own voice
and you are just bound to talk
everything over with anybody who
will listen to you, and to tell every
