Table Service
Problems
Solved
By Emily Post

A mother and daughter, living
alone, often invite friend-a man
somewhat Older than the mother
to take meals with them. The
daughter explains: He lives in a
hotel and seems to enjoy our honey
way of living. We put the serving
dishes on the table and each one
helps himself. Mother, in defer
ence to her age, is handed all the
serving dishes first, and then she
hands them to him. But instead of
helping himself next, he always
hands the dish to me and insists
that I help myself next, with the
result that he. our guest, is always
helped last. But how can 1 avoid
this?"
If your guest were a woman, the
dishes should be handed first to her,
then to your mother, and to you last,
of course But it is not correct to
serve man before your mother and
even before you, unless he is
clergyman. In this case he would
be served first, not so much because
of his age as because of his cloth.
The impulse of your guest to insist
on handing the dish to you is natu-
raj and proper. The one time when
he would have to pe served before
you is when you are carving or
serving, and could not possibly fill
your own plate until you have filled
and dispensed with those stacked
upon it.
Dear Mrs Post: Is it wrong to
call my fathers present wife my
stepmother" when introducing her
or speaking of her-when my own
mother is living? You did not
answer this clearly in recent

Answer-No, I think it is entirely
proper to call your fathers wife my
stepmother" You either have to
call her that or else you have to call
her Mrs. Brown" Outside of the

To Help "Speed Up" Brain Energy

No other bread in the world is like

Jury Gets Burko Case
After Court Instructs,
Makes 7 Suggestions
Consideration Allowed
Defense Claim Former
Clerk Is Plot Victim

Justice r. Dickinson Let's gave
the case of Joseph R. Burko, dis
missed Police Court clerk, charged
with conspiracy to split traffic fines
with a former bailiff, to District
Court jury at 10:49 am. today.
In his instructions to the II men
and one woman of the jury, Justice
Let's laid down the law in the case
and made two specific suggestions.
He proposed that the jury first
consider whether or not there was
a conspiracy between the code
PENDANTS, Burko and James Edward
Sullivan, the former bailiff. to COM
NIT the acts charged by the prosecu-
ton: then direct Its attention to a
decision whether or not Burko or
Sullivan did some overt act to effect
the object of the alleged conspiracy.
Only One Act Necessary.
1t would only be necessary in re-
gard to the second point, Justice
Let's said, to find that one act had
been done by one conspirator dur
ing the period of the alleged con-
spiracy between April l, 1910, and
February n, 1941. If the conspiracy
is established and one act found to
have been committed, the jurist
said, the law provided that each
conspirator shall be punished.
The penalty provided in the law
is eight months to two years i'm
prisonment or $4,000 fine or both.
At 1918 pm. the jury asked for
the court papers in the specific cases
in which Burko and Sullivan are
charged with pocketing fines and
falsifying the records. Counsel for
the prosecution and defense were
called before Justice Let's, who in
terrupted another trial to handle
the matter. The jurist ordered the
papers given to the jury.

the court was one for instruction of

Police Shake-Up Seen
As Report on Fitness
Tests Is Asked
Hieh-Ronkine Officials
In Fire Department
Are Also Involved
By DON s. WARREN.

Possibilities of a shake-up in the
Police and Fire Departments, in
volving retirements or changes in
assignments, loomed today when the
Commissioners, for the first time in
many years, directed the Board of
Police and Fire Surgeons to make
specific analysis of the physical
fitness of all men over SIS years of
age.
High-ranking officials of both de-
partments. as well as men in the
ranks, are involved in the order
which entails specific review of
the recent results Of the annual
physical checkup of policemen and
a physical examination of firemen,
who heretofore have not been re-
quired to take an annual physical
test.
The Commissioners did not imme-
diately make any formal statement
Of their reasons for the special or
ders, but old hands at the District
Building declared there had been
growing dissatisfaction with the re-
suits in the Police Department. This
view was not applied to the same
degree with the Fire Department.
Many Officers Over so.
Following the recent annual ply
sical examinations for policemen,
the Commissioners called upon po-
lice officials to list the men who are
IS years of age or older. This list
shows that many of the higher
ranking officers. including Police
Supt. Ernest w. Brown, are over 60
years of age For some years there
have been recurring reports that
Maj. Brown would apply for volun-
tary retirement.
Maj. Brown, each time the ques-
ton has been raised, has said he
had no present desire to retire, that
he would some day, but that this
might be five years away.
Other high ranking police officials
listed as so or over include In
spector L. I. H. Edwards, assistant
superintendent of police, who has
been on sick leave several times in
recent years; Inspector Bernard w.
Thompson, chief of detectives, who
recently was on sick leave; Inspector
Maurice Collins, Inspector William
G. Stott, Capts. Groves. Morgan and
Pierson and 1t. McGill Grove, the
latter being II years old.
The Commissioners were told so
policemen were so years or older
and II of them were IS or older.
Classified as to Fitness.
The Board of Police and Fire Sur
geons was directed by the Commis-
sioners to examine and submit a
recommendation on the physical fit
ness of each policeman and fireman,
including the opinion of the board
members as to whether the men are
physically qualified to continue in
their present assigned duties.
Inspector James r. Beckett ad-
viSed the Commissioners that the
annual physical checkup of police
men over IS years of age was inau-
gurated about 16 years ago and had
been followed each year since then
AS result of the checkup, in April
or May of each year the men were
placed in one of three classifications
as to physical fitness: Group A, in
cluding men found physically fit in
every particular; group B, including
men who have certain defects, but
not of such character as to render
them unfit for further service, and
group c, including policemen, in the
