pie by giving them the facts II

easy to grasp the part played by
guns. tanks and planes in a defense
program, but Miss Elliott feels that
it is all too easy for some people,
thinking only of these tangible mil
itary weapons, to overlook the foun-
dations upon which any effective
use of these weapons rest.
Strength and Health
Of People at Stake
The adequacy and distribution Of
supplies and the basic question of
the health and strength and vigor
of the American people is the job Of
the consumer adviser in the present
defense program. She believes no
program of national defense can
safely ignore the fact that i'll and
hungry people make weak founda-
ton on which to build Miss Elliott
says our effort will be not only vain
but self defeating if we do not main
tain and strengthen our democratic
American way of life as we 60 along.
1t will be vain and self defeating if.
with our vast national resources, we
allow the standard Of living of the
American people to be depressed
While there are idle resources, idle
men and idle plants to produce the
things which people need. So the
Quaker lady says she will work to
the end that there will be an equit-
able distribution of the necessities
of life

Mrs. John Allan Dougherty is
again in Washington for the winter
after spending the summer at her
home in Westport, Conn, where she

Her University.
Although Miss Elliott has been
granted leave of absence from her
post at the North Carolina Uni
versity, her heart is there and she
takes every opportunity TO run down
and see how things are going. She
slipped down to Greensboro in Sep
tember long enough TO help in start
ing 800 freshmen on their college
careers. She believes that every one
owes time and service to the State
not only in emergency like the pres
ent, but all the time, and through
her activities for forward looking
social legislation in North Carolina
and as president of the North Caro-
lima Conference of Social Service,
she has kept constantly before her
students their responsibility to their
country in times of peace as well
as in great emergencies.
The Quaker lady is an awfully jolly
person to talk with, and while she
does not thee and thou" one, the
tone of her voice is convincing, and
she possesses that thing devoutly to
be wished in woman-a charming
voice. Being a fervent advocate of
peace and a membel OF a religious
sect that does not believe in war.
also being an active member OF the
National Committee or the Cause

ness of the ill-bred child.
Any new situation makes a child
cautious. In the presence of stran-
gers he listens and watches to learn
what kind of people they are. He
sits in the background waiting.
When he is assured of kindly recep-
ton and understanding, and his in
telligence soon interprets the situa-
ton for him, he comes forward by
degrees.
1t is a mistake to try to force
such child into the CEN
ter of things. When that hap
pens the child moves ON another's
power, under another's will. He
has not accepted the experience
as his own; indeed he could not. He
has gained nothing to help him in
the next experience of the kind and
will be in worse plight than before
because dread has been added to
the original caution. Let him wait
quietly and listen, and he will gain
his experience.
Forcing retiring child to greet
guests he has not seen before does
no good. Entering a room filled
with grown-up people, strangers
among them, is an ordeal for a
child and quite unnecessary. If he
must meet the people, let him be
seated in the room before the guests
come. If that is not possible, let
some grown person whom the child
knows and trusts escort him into
the room and see him out again.
This last is important to children.
They ought not to be asked nor per-
mitted to stay any length of time
in the room with guests of their par
ents. The talk is beyond them; so

Do Not Write Notes

1t is always better to be a little
too polite than not to be courteous
at all, but sometimes notes of
thanks are really unnecessary. as
in the following situation: 81 have
just come home from visiting a
schoolmate. Some of her friends
gave parties for me when I was
there and am writing to these girls
to thank them again for all their
kindnesSes. But what about the

and to some of the parties? MY
friend arranged all this, of course,
and I hadn't known any of these
man before. Shall I write them
notes, too, or might this seem over
done?"
In answer to this: Writing notes
to these men would be unnecessary.
If you thanked them when you left,
that is quite enough. Or perhaps,
If you happened to see one of them

does one present oneself? Every one

stranger. 90 How long must we
stay at this reception, and when
We leave, do we go out quietly and
say nothing? Or should we say
"good-by and thank you" at least
to some one?
Answer-D You tell the hostess
your name with title, if you are
married or an elderly spinster, and
without title if you are a young
girl or a man. % You stay as
please. If you leave almost imme-
diately, it is better to go without
saying good-by, and thereby at
tracing the attention of your host
to your going. But if you stay I'M
til the queue of arriving guests is
no longer demanding the attention
of your hostess, you say "good-by

is glad, however. to have many

jectS to offer to her readers. To-

Here's How
YOuCan Be
Disliked
If You Possess One
Of Faults Listed,
You're Unwise
By KAY CALDWELL and
ALDEN HARRISON


Today, between a groan and q
grlmace, we introduce Joe Dope, the
man nobody likes.
OF course, Joe isn't a real person,
for the simple reason that nobody
could be quite that bad and escape
murder. He's merely a collection of
all the personality traits which psy-
biologists have found to be most
certain of arousing dislike in others
In short, he's a horrible example.
Check Joe's characteristics care
fully. If you resemble him in any
particular, better start roofing out
that fault Immediately, because YOU
can be sure that it's having a ruin.
Gus effect on your popularity. And
remember-one unfortunate per-
sonality trait can offset a dozen
good ones.
Now for our devastating descrip-
ton of the impossible Joe:
First of all, his word isn't worth
a nickel. He breaks dates and he
breaks promises. You can't depend
on anything he says.
He Is completely selfish. It's I'M
heard OF for him to 60 out of his
way to do any one else a favor.
His tongue drips with sarcasm
and he delights in making fun of
you behind your back.
He takes great delight in bawIine
people out, or in pointing out Their
faults or their mistakes.
He has a superior attitude toward
everybody, parading his knowledge
on every possible occasion. He's a
''know-it-all"
He's domineering, bully. If he
gets the least bit Of authority, he
rides those under him numerically
He exaggerates constantly.
His attitude toward girls is CHEAP
and vulgar.
He is sloppy in his personal ap-
pearance and his clothes are always
untidy.
He is bold and nervy. always stick
ing his nose into other peoples
business.
He's a complainer and a fault.
finder.
He has a ,hair-trigger temper
which he loses on the slightest ex-
cuse. On top of that. he goes
around with habitual scowl. He
seldom smiles, but he often laughs
at other peoples mistakes.
He insists on having his own way
In everything. Any attempt tc
thwart him leads to bitter argu-
ment or childish sulking.
He's male gossip. He talks toe
much.
He doesn't like other people, and
he never loses an opportunity to
take them down a peg or two"
So there you have Joe. A pretty
unpleasant picture, isn't it? Yet
any one of these traits. all by itself,
can make people dislike you thor
oughly. Don't let them handicap
you!
