Answering Our
Readers Daily

Br Emily Post

Dear Mrs. Post: At what time does
one stop saying good morning
and begin saying good efternoon"
Is the deadline at noontime. or is
this determined by whether or not
one has eaten his noon meal?
AnsWer-Noon is the actual bor-
der line, but, as you say, one hardly
realizes the time of day in terms of
morning and afternoon until the di-
vision is made by stopping ones
work for lunch.
Dear Mrs. Post: What is a widow
supposed to do with her engagement
ring and wedding ring of the first
husband when she accepts an en-
gagement ring from another man?
Also, will you please advise what
you think of the custom Of wearing
two bands of colored stones on either
side Of the wedding band?
Answer-She should permanently
remove her wedding ring, but she
may properly transfer her first en-
gagement ring to her right hand
and, If she chooses to do so, wear it
for life. Or she may perhaps put
both of these rings away for her
children. Otherwise, she does what
she feels like doing with them. I
have never heard of pair of en-
gagementS rings, which is what two
bands would be. On the other hand,
there is no reason why you may not
make whatever you both choose
serve as the token of your engage
ment. In other words, the pledge
of your engagement does not have
to be a ring.
Dear Mrs. Post: My daughter be-
longs to club which annually gives
a tea at the house of one of It's
members-reason being that the
house is very large and more than
adequate. The mother Of this men,
ber received with the young officers
of this club. When leaving a tea
of this size, to whom is "good-by'
and thank you" said?
AnsWer-At a very large tea OF
reception it is not considered neces-
sary to say ''good-by' to any one
If you encounter one Of the host
esses when you are leaving, you
shake hands and say "good-by" and
thank yc.'." but you don't neces-
sarily go looking for them. In other
words, saying 'good-by" at any large
reception is not an obligation.

ATLANTA. April 1.-Albert w

Federation of Trade Unions, saic
after meeting of federation officers
and delegates last night that action
had been taken seeking a congress
sional investigation of Capt. Eddie
Rickenbacker's criticism of some
phases of organized labor.
Resolutions were adopted, Mr.
Gossett said. calling on other AFL
central unions to take similar action
Assailing Capt Rickenbacker'
campaign of abuse and disruption, y
the resolutions asked an investiga-
tion to determine:
The individuals or corporation
sponsoring this unusual. unwar-
ranted and destructive activity of
Mr. Rickenbacker. >.-.
The real ownership of Eastern
Air Lines (Mr. Rickenbacker is pres

he explained. "Often there is not
enough material to 60 around. So
Tar, I think, we have kept a pretty
good balance between the various
claimants. Everybody is just a little
bit dissatisfied-which is always the
sign OF healthy compromise"
Mr.. Nelson said Congress had

Committee had been helpful
Its criticisms have not alvavs

Public Health Services
In Rural Areas Urged
By Medical Journal
State Legislation Seen
Needed to Provide Care
For 81 Per Cent of Nation
BY the Associated Press.

CHICAGO. April 1.-Enaction of
State legislation to permit an ex-
tension of public health services,
especially to rural areas, was rec
commended today by the Journal of
the American Medical Association.
1t said 41052, 800 persons-or 81
per cent of the population-live in
communities or in areas in which
there is no access to fulltime public
health services.
Points to Recent Survey.
The American Public Health As
sociation, which recently surveyed
State health work in Illinois, rec
commended that legislation be en-
acted to permit establishment of
fulltime county health departments,
or combinations of such depart
ments.
A bill introduced in the Illinois
Legislature would permit establish
ment of such county units by reso-
luton of a county board or by the
voters and would authorize spe-
cial tax to inance them.
The people of Illinois may we'll
reflect on the Importance of this
proposal, establishing as it does a
framework on which may be con-
structed comprehensive public
health program - the ANA
journal said.
Old Practice Survives.
1t declared that survival of the
part time general practitioner as the
local administrator of a health de-
partment cannot be encouraged by
the medical profession or be rec
commended to the taxpayer as the
best his money can buy in public
health
1t estimated that in July. 1912,
some $4,000, 900 people living in con-
tinental United States were pro-
vided by local governments with full
time medically officered health pro-
lection.
In addition about $500, 900 per-
sons were served by county or dis
trict health departments operated
by a State department of health,
and about 100000 more people
living in cities with fun-time health

CHICAGO, April 1.-Postmaster
General Walker, chairman of the
Democratic National Committee
said yesterday that his party s
chances look very good" for next
year according to his observations
on a three-week tour of the West
Southwest and Middle West.
Mr.. Walker stopped in Chicago
en- route to Washington on what he
described as combination trip in
behalf of the Post Office Department
and the Democratic party.
The chairman said his party
needed to make no apologies for its
record and that if its members con-
tinued their work there will be
nothing to worry about in 1914" He
asserted the campaign was too far
off to discuss probable issues.
The Post Office Department., he
said has supplied 10000 employees
and 200 inspectors to the armed serv-
ices while 1000 new post Offices have
been established outside continental
United States.
These new Offices, he said. play a
vital part in getting the mail to the
fighting men. He estimated the
average soldier or sailor mails about
four letters a week and receives from
to 10.

Production Miracle
|0f American Industry
Opposes Deep SIoshes
In CiviIion Goods Unless
Required in War Effort
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated PreSS.
CHICAGO. April 1.-The Ma
tion's industry has performed a
miracle of production" in the war
effort and the creative skills of man
agement and labor have elevated
America to a height of potential
military power such as the world has
never before seen," Donald Nelson,
chairman Of the War Production
Board, says.
The WPB chief, in an address
last night, asserted that the Coop
Grafton of businessmen and the
concentrated productive forces OF
the Nations factories have resulted
in many dramatic" achievements
in cost reduction. He cited several
instances and said they were the
direct effect of the mass produc-
ton techniques and experience of
American industry acquired in
peacetime"
Mr.. Nelson told the Economic
Club meeting that the transforma- =
ton OF industry from peacetime
to wartime basis had required
vigorous streamlining of our civil
ian economy.
Keep Civilian Standards High.
But to me, it Is a startling reve-
lation of the hidden power of Amer
lea that we have been able to pro-
duce, for total war, on the present
gigantic scale, without disturbing
civilian life more than we have. We
are turning out more goods for war
than we ever produced for our
peacetime needs-yet we have
enough industrial power left over to
keep civilian standards of living at
a high level"
Mr.. Nelson added that it was de
sirable that we do not curtail civil
ian production much further but
cautioned that I'VE must not be too
optimistic. In these uncertain times,
there is no telling how heavily the
hand of war may yet fall upon U.S. -
The WPB chairman said the war
production this year would exceed
$80, 0,000, 900 900 in munitions and
construction as against $48, 8,0O0, 900,
600 last year.
