Emily
Post

An Office secretary asks for a
discussion of the following: What
about the wife of a businessman
using her husbands Office as a
waiting room and meeting place?
From the point of view of the
Office help this is about the most
annoying interruption of the day
worse than her repeated tele-
phone calls to her husband. Even
if she sits oh so quietly out of the
way, her very presence somehow
interferes with the normal routine
of business. Don't you agree that
a wife should make herself scarce
in her husbands Office"
I very certainly do. I can't
imagine any one so lacking in plain
common sense.
Poyine for Guest
Dear Mrs. Post: When inviting
some one from out of town to
come as our guest. isn't it up to us
to pay for the room we have to
take for her either in a hotel or
guest house? We can't put her up
in our house. My husband thinks
the guest may feel hurt when she
discovers the bill has been paid for
her.
Answer: She hardly could feel
hurt if you invited her to stay for
week (or however long, as your
guest at the Harbor Hotel.
In Between Yeor
Dear Mrs. Post: If we give a
dinner on our wedding anniver-
sary which is an in-between year
not connected with any particu-
lar gifts such as crystal or silver.
etc, would our friends feel they
had to send or bring gifts?
Answer: Until the last few
years, eight anniversaries were the
only ones that were celebrated
with special gifts. However. the
increasing number of anniversa-
ries for which there are special
gifts has made the public con-
scious of these items for almost
every year. It would be best
therefore to write please no pres
ent"-if this is what you prefer.
Tipping on AirIines
Dear Mrs. Post: Is no one SUD-
posed to be tipped in connection
with air travel?
Answer: It is true that neither
stewards nor stewardesses accept
tips.

LANDS, N. C., (F) - Melba Overcast, Iandis Highs sixfoot- seven forward, probably estab- lished a high school record for a regulation girls game recently with 102 points.
 q just wanted to score 66 points in a game" she said after the East spencer High game which her team won, l07-35.
 "I knew that a girl in South Carolina (Miss Nan Paddy of Hemingway High) scored 65 points in a single game and l wanted to better that record"
 The tall junior wh is only l6 years old, collected 79 points in the first half.
 "I didn't want to shoot too much but the other forwards, realizing that I had a good chance of beat ing the 65 scored by the South Carolina girl, kept passing me the ball and yelling to shoot. So did. But I probably won't do that good again."
 What about the future for the 6-7 lanky lass?
 "I have received several schol- arships and intend to go on to college" says Melba. "A couple of the professional girls teams have written me and asked if I were interested in playing with them. I replied that I would be when I graduated next year" Melba, an excellent student, says: "I have a lot to learn about the sport, however"
 Vast year was her first year on the team, Thus far this season she is averaging 40 points per game. i but you can't mention title.

they'll stay out until they get a contract.
 Over the weekend, Lewis bowed to the court order and directed his 372,000 striking miners back to work. But with telegraph of fices closed on Sundays in many small mining communities, sever al locals were late in receiving the official word.
 Some idle miners said they are not working because this is Lewis 70th birthday. The UNIV presi- dents anniversary actually was yesterday.
 Dave Fowler, president of UNIV District Fl in Oklahoma and Ar kansas, looks for a continuation of the strike despite Lewis and the court. He said:
 Some of the miners feel the government is trying to make con. victs out of them. The miners fought for 50 years to get their union. They don't want it stolen away from them and be reduced to slaves"
 In Indiana, where all $500 UNIV diggers are idle, president Louis Austin of UNIV District Il said:
 Apparently the miners are an gry because they have no con- tract"
 Tn West Virginia, the Norfolk and Western and the Virginiar Railways said no mines are re ported working along their lines About 14,000 miners are idle ir Logan County. West Virginia.
 No mines are operating near Harlan, Ky.
 Comment from rank and file diggers showed their aaitude tC be one of grim determination.
 "The injunction won't mine coal and we know, it." said a miner at the Russellton, Pa, Mine No. Two of Republic Steel Corpo- ration. He added: That Taft Hartley business is foolish. Nc contract no work"
 Miner Paul Truckley of Curtis vile, Pa, declared:
 Truman gave the operators an ace in the hole. They knew Lewis either had to order us back or leave us wide open to an injunc- ton. Tn my opinion, the men are solidly opposed to going back without a contract"
 Another digger, at the Wheel ing Steel Corporations shaft at Harmavville, said: Let the oper- atOrs dig their own coal"

GELATIN CAPSULE MAKERS CHARGED WITH MONOPOLY

 Attorney general McGrath an nounced the filing of a civil anti trust action in federal court at Detroit against Parke-Davis and Co.,, Detroit, and Eli Lilly and Co.,, Indianapolis.
 Hard gelatin capsules "are used primarily as soluble containers for drugs and medicines taken in 'pilP or capsule form," the de- partment explained. One chief use is in vitamin pills, an official added.
 Both companies make and sell hard gelatin capsules as part of their business of marketing phar- maceuticals and biologicals.

April 1. But the first of March an additional twenty, or so, enumer- ators will be going into the 1n- terior to enable them to complete their enumeration by the middle of April. Many of the federal and Territorial agencies are assisting the bureau in this census. The U. 5. Forest Service is doing the biggest job in the First Division and the Alaska Native Servlce will also assist. The Coast Guard and the Army will also contribute valuable assistance in the areas where they have installations and personnel. The CAA, various bush pilots and airline companies in Alaska are assisting in every way possible to assure q complete tab ulation for this biggest census ever taken in Alaska. The Alaska Railroad, the Alaska National Guard and the Fish and Wildlife Service are also contributing their assistance.
 Tt is mighty big job ahead of us" Heating stated, but with such cooperation already in effect and anticipating the usual all-out attitude of all AlaSkanS to make this census count one hundred percent complete, our biggest problems are licked before we start"

Blinks Tabulated

NEW YORK Up Each time
you blink, your vision is cut off for
sthree-tenths of a second. All your
daily blinks add up to a lot of no.
seeing during day. Since a short
period of readjustment is needed
after each blink, psychologists fig
ure that you go about more or less
unseeingly for II to 20 per cent Of
your waking day, the Better Vision
Institute reports.
blinking keeps the eyes moist
and clean, and provides rest and
refreshment for the nerves and
brains. A man whose eyes were
kept open forcibly would go
pieces. the psychologists say"
There's quite a differenoce, be-
tween a wink and a blink, besides
intent. In a wink, the upper and
lower lids share the job about equal
ly, meeting over the pupils. But in
a blink, most of the work is done
by the upper lid, with the two lids
meeting about at the base of the
iris.
