QUERIES AND HINTS.
(From Mrs. J. r. o., Washington.
I wouldn't care as much for the
RICH if 1t were classified. I love
it as it is.
I wonder if some of the kind
readers would write in their opinions
of the wearing qualities of reptile
alligator and snakeskin shoes (and
bags. Do they conform to the foot
and are they comfortable?
For the little boys polo shirts with
the stretched around necks, I al
ways thread in stretchy narrow or
round elastic, usually do this when
they are new. Just clip a small
place on the inside and run the elas-
tic through, secure and sew up the
little place.

Foxy and Freddy
Every Question Has Two Sides, Especially in Marriage
Tipping
7
By Fredric and Alice Fos Pitts
SHE REPLIES:

And how does Freddy qualify as
an expert on my tipping habits?
When we're out together, he takes
care Of tips. He doesn't know a
darned thing about how much I
leave when I'm alone.
I tip right and left, usually too
lavishly, to vindicate my sex. The
only attendants I pass up are the
ones at hotel transportation desk.
I've never found out whether those
dignifjed gentlemen feel insulted If
you tip them or put you down for a
piker if you don't. Embarrassed by
this uncertainty, I always depart in
a furry of profuse thanks as if I'd
merely forgotten the tip Gf ex-
pectedD in my rush for train or
plane.
Sure, I told Freddy he was silly
to tip for such service as we got the
other day. I expect cups to be tinged
with Scarlet Lassie, Crimson Mink,
or whatever the popular hue; but I
also expect lipstick-smeared cups to
be exchanged for clean ones pleas
antly, not grudgingly. will tip for
lousy service only if it is rendered
with smile.
Freddy calls my tipping "erratic. -
Well, remember the week we spent
at fancy hotel in Bermuda. AS the
exodus Of guests for the boat be-
gan, the uniformed help lined up in
the lobby with outstretched palms.
Dozens of them in two facing COL
umns, replete with gold braid and
brass buttons, like the royal guard
in musical comedy. Freddy gave
one indignant look and ran the CANT
let, his hands thrust deep in his
pockets. pausing only long enough
to yell back at me, ITO hell with this
racket. Come on!" Give you one
guess who was embarrassed that
time.
Strange, too, that when Freddy
gets dewey over some poor, down.
trodden waitress, it's never a dod-
dering old lady striving valiantly to
keep herself out of the poorhouse.
It's always some wide-awake,
golden-h haired kitten of 10.

HE SAYS:

Foxy was in town yesterday and
we lunched together. Because of
the rush, the service was slow, one
coffee cup showed a touch of lip
stick, and the waitress forgot may
onnaise on the sandwiches.
Did Foxy; take it philosophically?
No. She grabbed her handbag and,
tugging at my sleeve, whispered
much too loudly, Freddy, you're a
Grade A sucker if you leave tip
Scared plenty that the mattresses
had overheard-particularly that
one with the steely eyes-I haven't
dared enter the shop since.
Few men will ignore tipping. But
woman, given the smallest reason
COR none at alb will drape her mink
cape about her shoulders and walk
out of a restaurant completely OBJ
livious to the pleading eyes of the
poor little Cinderella who has been
serving her.
All right, maybe she only looks
like Cinderella and is really a
scheming Wench who is banking
money every day: or maybe the
house gets the tips anyway. Still, !
ask, why do women faithfully fol-
low every social custom and then
balk at the two bits, more or less
which they should toss on the
counter or table?
Foxy isn't stingy about tipping
She's erratic. She recognizes no per-
centage basis and does her esti-
mating not on the service but on
the server. If a bellhop looks as
though he is kind to his poor old
mother, he gets a good tip; if she
decides his children aren't getting
their required vitamins Il don't
know how she knows but she does)
the tip is munificent. But if she
thinks he is spending his money on
the races instead of saving it to send
his little brother through barber
college, the poor man gets nothing
One more complaint. Ever notice
how a woman can't leave a tip and
scram? She puts the coin on the
counter and then If it isn't noticed
keeps pushing it and pushing it with
her finger until the waiter finally
comes around and says THANK
you" Then she walks away beam.

WASHER PROBLEM:
TRRETIII.AR uNTIRSo

(Fron, Mrs. w. P, WashingtonJ
Here's hoping this suggestion will
help Mrs j. E. E., of Washington
with her laundry problem. If she
has an electric pump on her washer
when the suds begin to die down. put
the pump hose in the washer and
let the water run in and out. In a
few seconds the suds will be over
the top of the washing machine.
Now, may I add a few words to
the mothers of small children do
ing their own work. I have found
from experience, your husbands
hours have a lot to do with keep
ing schedule. I have three small
babies and kept a fine schedule
while my husband had regular
hours. Right now, he leaves from
6 to $50 am. and returns anywhere
from to 10 pm. I never know in
advance what his hours will be.
Perhaps some one could tell me how
to keep a schedule under these con-
ditions.

DATA ON STORMS.

(From Mrs. P. N. p, Arlington.)
The storm problem" of Mrs. r. A.
of Silver Spring is interesting.
discussed 1t with person who is
very well qualified to have an opin-
ion on electrical "doings" and he
thinks Mrs. r. A. has good reason
to be terrified.
The cracking that she hears is
evidence of the dissemination of a
heavy electrical charge-as is the
blue light she saw. In a very real
sense the cracking is reassuring,
because If the charge didn't dis
seminate gradually it might do so
all at once. which would be the
striking" of a thunderbolt.
Mrs. r. A. should have the tele-
phone company check to see If her
phone is properly grounded and pro-
tected against heavy charges from
outer exposed wires. I am sure they
will do this gladly. If no trouble Is
found here she may need lightning
rods on the house. They perform
the function of draining of" the
electricity during a storm, before it
builds up enough to strike. One can
often see, on the points Of the rods,
the same blue light she saw on the
phone, but, in this case, the charge
is being harmlessly conducted into
the ground.
There is no reason, unless there
is something Arong with the phone
installation, why it should not be
used during storm. Other ap-
pliances are perfectly safe to leave
on and use.
Various freak instances of receiv-
ing radio programs occur, especially
close to a station transmitter. Radio
waves" are not at all dangerous
There's the famous case of the man
whose. false teeth served as a tiny
receiving set and he heard programs
in his head without being able te
shut them of. Hearing q radio
program over the phone probably
has nothing to do with lightning
but it should also be reported to
the telephone company as it might
be a clue.
If there is a storm before the
trouble is located it would be well
to keep any one in the house from
being grounded" That is, don't
touch radiators, faucets, outside
walls, anything that is connected
particularly by metal, to the ground
A charge of lightning striking a
chimney or wall or other poor con-
ductor may jump through the body
and on down to the ground via the
metal faucet and pipes. Under
ordinary circumstances there is no
reason to fear storms or to have to
take such precautions, but Mrs.
r. AS circumstances, at the mo-
ment, don't sound ordinary!
I hope that she will report on
what the trouble is and let us know
that the cracking and flames have
ceased.

KEEPING NYLONS,

(From Mrs. J. H. X, Washington
For Mrs. E. S., Rosenville. Va:
The Christmas following Pearl Har-
Dor I received two pairs of nylon
hosiery which I wished to keep as
long as possible, so I put them in a
glass jar (screw top) and kept them
in the refrigerator.
A month ago I started wearing
them, and they are in perfect con-
dition after five years in the "cool-
er." The above method was pub
lished in one of our local papers
shortly after nylon and silk hosiery
went of the store counters.

Good Weather Ahead

Improved weather reports-which may
save farmers millions of dollars are ex-
pected as a result of the weather bureaus
decision to use balloons, radio and radar to
gather information twelve miles above the
earth.
The method is highly technical-but
there is every reason to believe that it will
result in greatly increased accuracy, both
for short and long-term reports. Present
methods of observation are greatly handi-
capped by fog and clouds, but the new
method, known as "rason," will have no
such handicapS.
By 1947 it is expected that 'rason" re-
ports will have replaced the present meth
DDS of getting weather information. From
then on, there will be few arguments With
the weather man. When he says "rain"
the chances will be ten to one that it will
rain.
But already the weather bureau is pro-
tecting itself against wrong predictions by
pointing out that even the ''twelve-mile up"
reports will not be perfect. The next move
already under consideration, is t. get re-
ports from the upper stratospherr' sixty
miles up. When that plan has been worked
out, our weather prediction problems will
be over.

County Agent Reports 215
Horses And Mules Were

L. E. Tuckwiller, county agent,
announced this week that 215
,horses and mules were examin-
ed at the workstock clinics held
in the county last week. I'm
spite of the exceptionally bad
weather during part Of the week, J"
Mr.. Tuckwiller said, Horses
were present at all of the sched-
hled stops"
4 Drs. ]. G. Martin, of Boone, and
M: G. Edwards and J. W.. Willis,
of Wilkesboro, all registered vet
,erinarians, assisted in the clinics.
In, addition to treating the work
stock. advice on the. care and
management of horses and the
care of the feet was given by the
veterinarians.
Mr.. Tuckwiller stated that
farmers who did not take advan-
tage of the clinic had overlooked
an opportunity to prepare their
workstock for the heavy spring
work.
The proper treatment to use
against cattle lice and grubs was
also discussed at the clinics.

Scouts And World Citizenship

Tomorrow marks the 36th anniversary
of the beginning of the Boy Scout move
ment and we pause to salute scouts as well
as their leaders. We know of no more
worthwhile program for youth training.
The Boy Scouts of today will be the cit
liens Of tomorrow. The Boy Scout move
ment can do much to increase world fellow
ship and understanding which we must
have if we are to maintain peace. The
Scout laws are the same in any language
and we like to think of scouts as being cit
liens of the world. We must have world
fellowship and world citizenship lin yours
world of the future.tZ@s x}N>5t3y %a
In thinking of this we are reminded Of
message sent to the Boy Scouts Of Amer
lea year ago, by that world-citizen, the
late Franklin D. Roosevelt.
This message in part is as follows:
'For many years the Boy Scout Move
ment has been a real force among the
democratic countries in helping to promote
better understanding among the nations
and international good will"
AC the C111l0 Oh our NdI1O4AdA Od4AAOOAC &C
in 1887. was happy to note the many
Scouts from across the seas who came to
camp with the Boy Scouts of America and
learn more of our way of life. At the
world Scout Jamborees Scouts from free
dom loving nations lived together, found
common interests and IDEALS and formed
friendships of lasting value to themselves
and others"
"Now the Boy Scouts of America come
forward with positive program for en-
phasizing the world brotherhood of Scout
ing. It is the youth of the world who must
share and maintain the peace now being
purchased so dearly on the battle fronts.
I am convinced that Boy Scouts and Clubs,
as well as senior groups, through their mu-
tual understanding, mutual appreciation
and mutual respect will be among the lead
ers in the promoting of comradeship among
the democratic people Of the EARTH"
Friendship is a basis of our Scout ideals
and part of our Scout law. Let us live
by it and strengthen it!'
God bless you all:
