Fathers Whereabouts Unknown
Dear Mrs Post: How Is the an
nouncement Of an engagement
given to the papers when the
father and mother of the girl are
divorced. but this fact Is not
generally known, and to compli-
cate matters the fathers where
abouts have been unknown for
years-he may even be dead
Could the announcement read,
Mr.. and Mrs. John Smith an
nouncs. etc" or just Mrs. John
Smith >" and must II be said
that Mr.. Smith has been away
from home for five years.
Answer: II your parents are
actually divorced. not merely
separated by his absence. the an
nouncement cannot possibly be
given out in the name of Mr.. and
Mrs. John Smith. Mr.. and Mrs"
Is proper only for husband and
wife who are not legally sep
arated. II your mother is d.
vorced, her name is Mrs. Brown
Smith (if she was Mary Brown
before her marriage). The only
other name she can use would be
the taboo Mrs. Mary" If she
calls herself Mrs. Brown Smith,
this will of course announce the
divorce. II she calls herself Mrs.
Mary Smith, she proclaims her
ignorance Of good taste. Perhaps,
since her husband may be dead,
ii would be best to continue cali
ing herself Mrs. John Smith.
There Is no need of mentioning
your fathers name. Those who
know he went away viii know
why his whereabouts could not be
given. Others win think it an
oversight.
An Invitation to Go or to Share
Dear Mrs. Post: Ny boy friend
and his mother have invited me
to drive with them to a distant
city to visit their relatives. What
expenses are mine on this trip.
and what would be nice for me
to do for their relatives with whom
I am staying for a week?
Answer: None Of the expenses
on such trip should be yours,
and what you can do for the
relatives will depend upon what
you think would be nice to do for
them after you know them. But
ii really isn't necessary to do any,
thing further than to be apprecia-
tive while you are there, and to
send a bread and butter letter
when you return home. But If
while you are there you should
see something you think they
might like, or you can do some
thing for them that they would
enjoy, do so by all means.

COURTS:
Onnnipotent NLRB

Earlier this winter the U. S. SUI
preme court opined that the Wagner
labor acts chief trouble was not in
it's administration by NLRB, but
rather in the excessively broad
scope of power delegated by con-
gress to NLRB. This month, with
out saying as much, the high court
intimated again that something
ought to be done.
Reviewed was a circuit court of
appeals decision which reversed an
NLRB ruling. Case involved the
Waterman Steamship company, and
was the outgrowth of A. F. of L.
c. I. o. friction. 1t was the old story
of company favoritism toward A. F.
of l.. and NLRB favoritism toward
c. 1. o., but that was beside the
point.
The Supreme court ruled that fed
eral courts have no right to substi-
tute their own judgment for that of
NLRB, decision which left NLRB
so powerful that congress will prob
ably be Jared into clipping NLRB's
wings.
