A young girl asks: "Is it proper
for the girl to applaud when the.
music stops while she is dancing p
Or is this just for the man to do?
Since the meaning is Il want to
dance longer" it is quite all right
for her to applaud if she is dane.
ing with a man she often dances
with. But it would be better not
to applaud if dancing with one
whom she has just met.
Evening Means "FormoI"
Dear Mrs. Post: How will people
know what to wear to a seven
o'clock evening wedding unless.
the kind of clothes is stipulated
on the invitation? This is not in
a church. Both ceremony and
reception are taking place in a.
hotel.
Answer: At an evening wedding
you take it for granted that guests
will wear their most formal
clothes. This means tails for the
men in a community where they
are worn and evening dresses mot
low cut for the women. Other
wise, tuxedos for the men and
dinner dresses for the women. Or
in very simple communities, what
ever is customarily worn in the
evening.
Ladies'" VS.. Women"
Dear Mrs. Post: Will you please
tell me which of the following
forms is correct: Ladies Auxili-
ary'' or "Womens Auxiliary"
Answer: Ladies Auxiliary" sug-
gests rather small and distinctly
social group, "Women's Auxiliary"
suggests much larger group.
However, this distinction is not
necessarily a fact, since both
forms serve the same purpose.
Gloves Evidently Vory
Dear Mrs. Post: I have noticed
in the fashion magazines some of
the illustrations show wrist length
gloves with formal evening
dresses; others a little longer and
still others wear very long ones.
How does one know what to wear?
Answer: The answer is that to-
day there is no fixed rule. One
may wear which ever one chooses.

Recently and half million low-paid American
workers got raise in ranging from to 15 cents
hour.
They got that raise because the amendments to the Fair
Labor Standards Act increasing the minimum to Is
cents an hour went into effect on Jan. 25
AS trade unoniss glad to see these lowestpaid
workers who not protected by union agreements get
this raise, though not directly af
fected.
For the fact is that the minimum wage law, however
beneficial it is in helping prevent exploitation OF unorgan
lied low paid workers. doesn't set the raises
Rather, it is the other way around After the trade
unions have succeeded raising the for the great maj
orty Of working and women, then the law is finally
amended to help plug up of the worst oophoes and
the lowest-paid workers given small advance.
The unorganzed workers have the trade unions to thank
for the fact that they getting pay raise at all.

Defying Law Of GrdvitY

Comes word from Washington that the price sup
port trick by which the treasury being used to keep up
certain farm prices and make the working people fancy
prices the retail level isn't working out planned There
is surplus of pork The government is buying quite lot
and holding it, may give it away to certain groups, IN
order to make the consumers pay more.
But, the are baking They are refusing to
pay the fat price for fat pork They have learned to with
the stuff pretty well and they have learned lot of tricks
in keeping prices down by buying cheaper cuts So
the government is stuck with millions of dollars worth
of hams and bacon and still the wives of the working people
are giving the skip to the porkchop counter.
Using the peoples treasury to force prices but
without forcing is defiance of the law OF gravity
of natures way of doing business In the long run won't
work Some of the big agrcultusts gouge consider
able out of the IT, treasury but the great majority of the
people, after paying high taxes will resist paying prices
they know are too high
If agriculture is to be part of free enterprise and
those who profit from it be in fact individual opera
tors then they must expect prices to fuctuate and they
must expect profits always to be fat and juicy Federal
support of farm prices is economically and morally wrong
unless wages are also supported
When farmers helped with lavish hand while
working people chained to Taft-IIartley Act trouble
is in the offing.

No Floods In The Valley

The Ohio the Wabash and the Mississippi Rivers have
made 1850 already of the worst flood years in history
Thousands of the river valleys have suffered and
lost their homes. Millions of dollars in damage has been
done. Precious top soil has washed away
The Missouri and Columbia Rivers also have threaten
ed to spill their banks In the five years. those two
streams have flooded millions Of and done billions of
dollars in damage
Residents living along the Tennessee River however
don't have to fear floods Why? The answer Of course,
the Tennessee Valley Authority.
We have been told that IVA is impractical That it is
pie-inhesky stuff That it is Socialism for the govern
men to operate hydroeecrc projects and to control floods

Which is better, living in Socialism" on in water?

Transportation Miracle"

One of the great miracles of modern Transportation was
Operation Arft at Berlin in its peak 24-hour period it
hauled 1891 tons of goods requiring 1898 flight to do the
job.
Truly amazing! But it also to underline the mir
aces that being performed daily by American railroads
without ever being really of them.
For any we-loaded freight trains in America-each
with 120 carrying average of 40 tonscan haul 10
percent tonnage than the art carried all it's nearly
400 flights on the busiest day in it's career!
And on the average not s. but $4,000 freight trains
plying their way along Americas arteries of every
day in the year If evidence needed the in
dispensaby of railroads to the welfare of nation "Oper
alton Airlift" would be a No. / witness.

The most violently anti-Labor newspaper in America
folded up the other day 1t the New York Sun,
liberal publication but for the last 80 years outright pro-
paganda agency Wall Street and enemy of everything
that might benefit the working
With its last fetid breath the Sun blasted at Labor
charging that high Union wages forced coseout The truth
is that the people had stopped reading the Sum- it had lost
all public confidence; it's advertising, based circulation
fell off.
The Sun passed into the hands of the Scrpps-Howard
outfit which bargain either insofar Labor
cerned but which tries to appear semibera and which
fired Pegler a couple of years ago.
