Russia.
"An alliance between the United
States and Russia should be opposed
by every American, by every Chris
tian, and by every humanitarian
in this country"
The speech was broadcast ma
tionally. Hundreds of persons UNI
able to crowd into the civic audi
torium, stood outside listening to
the talk from loudspeakers.
Lindbergh said Russia and Ger

years ago if British and French

war onto them. Now the issues

Germany and Russia were lined
up against England and France.
Now. less than two years later, We

Winter before last, when Russia
was fighting Finland, the inter

all possible aid to Finland. Now
when Russia is fighting Finland
again, they demand that We send

to avoid the dangerour blazes OF

Fire rangers this summer will be

of the introduction:

7. 1t was not Mrs. Grundy who
decreed that salad knives should not
be used, but the fact that in earlier
days in America very few families
had silver knives, and stainless steel
had not been invented. Therefore,
knives were banned because the vine
gar blackened steel blades, which in
turn blackened the lettuce. Now that
knife blades of either silver or stain
less steel are to be found in prac-
tically every house, the ban against
eating salad with knife is lifted. But
eating salad with a spoon! Oh, dear,
no!
10. Bread need not be broken into
a piece small enough for mouthful.
A big slice of bread broken in quar-
tiers. a small slice in half, and biscuit
in half is small enough. The reason
why objection has been made to bread
as pusher is that soft bread becomes
soppy. 1t is entirely proper to use d
bit of hard crust or the edge of a

at might interest you, Mrs. Post.
to hear of an idea which has developed
here at Y in the new manner of
teaching table manners to our stu
dents. The dean had been becoming
each year more resentful of the bad
dining room manners. At the begin
ming of this mid-year term, he himself
prepared Blue Paper on the sub
ject of table manners. This he had
printed. and copies were placed in the
drawers of the study tables in the fra
ternity houses and dormitories before
the students returned from vacation.
How the students would react to
the deans Blue Paper we had, of
course, no idea. AS it has turned out,
the pleasant non-scolding humor of it,
which so thoroughly sugarcoats the
maxims it would teach, has made it
topic of live interest that is. moreover,
having effective results. l am enclos-
ing a copy of it on the chance that it
may interest you - and if you care to
make use of all or any part of it, the
dean will be very honored to have you
do So"
To this gladly say that it interests
me very much. The idea in itself of
treating the subject in light and
''why-not- humorous" mood, instead
of approaching it tensely and primly,
is something with which thoroughly
agree. Nothing is more irritating to
a young person than making fuss
about anything. The subject of eti-
