times in five miles. Let us hope
this is not an omen for the
whole journey! Finally 1.-THE
Promise" has slipped the tow
and now we are sailing by our
own means.
1880 hours: We establish our
first radio contact with VE10C,
an amateur operator in Dart
mouth, Nova Scotia. We tell him
1.-THE sea is good and the wind
favorable" We are going to
spend our first night at sea.
Watches are arranged. Jose takes
from 1000 hours to 1900, Marc
from 1900 to midnight, CASTOR
from midnight to 0200 and my
self from 02O0 to O400. While
one is awake three will sleep in

We have tried to catch some
fish, without result. Our first
meal is meagre-two slices of
bread. a bowl of soup and a cold
boiled potato with salt. We must
start rationing Immediately. We
have enough food for 100 days
in the extreme-if we catch fish
as well. We have ITO pounds of
potatoes, "a pounds of rice, 10
pounds Of flour and 10 pounds Of
dried beans.
We also have 10 pots of
picked pork tongues, 20 small
Jars of meat paste, 40 tins of
soup, Is tins of corned beef, four
tins of pork loaf and three tins
of sausage. One jar Of meat
paste will be a meal for us and
the kittens.
We have so tins of apple juice,
We will use this for water when
our supply Of bottle water runs
out.
Today the bread is from a
fresh loaf. For the future we
have II sliced loaves which we
toasted ashore. Now they are
secure in bags sealed with wax.
1900 HOURS: We try to estab-
lish contact with amateur radio
enthusiasts. Our signal is strong
but our meditation weak. They
cannot understand US. Marc is
not a trained radio operator. He
can send in Morse but he cannot
read it. so we ask for response
in voice. A little discouraged, we
end transmission.

the guy ropes were tending to
pull the masts back. The guy
ropes had shrunk in the heat OF
the sun.

cigarette ration. We have Is

Devotees of Chinese food,
who have tried to capture the
elusive flavor found in Oriental
dishes, will be pleased to hear
about a new chest of Chinese
spices and condiments.
Until recently it was not
only impossible to duplicate
those mysterious seasonings,
it was virtually impossible to
find them anywhere. Even
the Chinese stores didn't stock
them.
Now all that has been
changed. In one box you'll
find eight different Chinese
seasonings. two for the table
and six for the kitchen, along
with a brochure that sheds
light on how they should be
used.
Two Of the seaSoningS are

Ho-yu is made from the
extract Of oysters. salt, starch
and soy bean derivatives. It's
predominately salty in taste
with a tantallzing oyster
flavor. Once opened it must be
kept under refrigeration.
Su-moi-jung duck sauce)
has no connection with duck
per Sc. but it is a favorite con-
diment for Chinese roast duck.
It's a blend of sweet and sour,
and favored with the aromatic
juices of peaches and apricots.
This, too, must be kept under
refrigeration once it has been
opened.

"The Social List OF Wash
ington" comes of the presses
today without the answer to
what could be the most per-
picking protocol question Of the
year.
The question could come
about should Adlai Stevenson
be elected President Of the
United States.
Would his sister, Mrs. Eliza
beth (Buffie) Ives, be his Of
fetal hostess and If so would
she rank as the First Lady Of
the land?
No Answer
The publisher Of the Green
Book" Mrs. Carolyn Hagner
Shaw, is one Of the leading
Washington experts on Capital
protocol and as Of today she
doesn't have the answer.
This is by no means a void
on the part Of Mrs. Shaw.
Experts at the White House
who have seen Republicans
and Democrats come and go
don't have the answer and say
that a precedent has never
been set.
The protocol Office at the
State Department feels the
same way and with a shudder.
1t could be such a problem
that the possibility Of a Demo-
cratic member Of the protocol
office voting Republican would
not be so remote--anything to
avoid this touchy situation.
Mrs. Shaw, the White House
and the State Department
spokesman do all feel the same
on one point. None Of them
is going to take it upon him.
self to solve the problem.
In fact it looks as though it
would be dumped in the lap
Of Mr.. Stevenson himself. He
would then have the job Of
ranking or demoting his own
sister-a task no man would
cherish even with the help Of
King Solomon.
Her Status
Many might ask where the
problem lay--couldn't she just
act as a hostess when HEP
brother gave an official party
at the Executive Mansion?
Protocol-wise, it goes much
further than that.
To date a First Lady has
received honors and position
only accorded to the wife Of a
President.
There would be no problem
at parties in the White House
since the hostess would obvi-
ously assume this role. But
what would happen at a state
dinner outside when the chief
of state of a foreign country
visiting here gave a dinner for
the President Of the United
States?
Would the Presidents sister
be the ranking woman guest
or would it be the Vice Presi-
dents wife or the wife Of the
Chief Justice?
In the case Of President
Woodrow Wilson whose first

wife died in the White House
and who remarked while still
President, there was no prob
lem. Since there was only a
lapse Of a little over a year
between the two events, Presi-
dent Wilson did little II any
entertaining.
Only Bachelor
The only bachelor President
we ever had was President
Buchanan and the situation
was much simpler In those
days. His niece. Harriet Lane,
was his hostess in. the White
House and at that time Chiefs
Of State didn't pop over to
these shores every few months
so that State dinners outside
Of the Executive Mansion were
rare If ever.
II Mrs. Ives should step
down in favor Of Mr.. Steven
sons daughter in-law, Mrs.
Adlai Stevenson. jr.. the stu
alton could still be confused
according to Mrs. Shaw. "As
Mrs. Stevenson, jr., is very
young. could she possibly be
ranked above the wives of
Supreme Court Justices and
members Of the Cabinet"
questions Mrs. Shaw.
At any rate the Green
Book" is making its way into
several thousand Washington
drawing rooms now. Once
more there will be much
thumbing through it to see who
is in and who is out.
On the in-and-out side Of
it Mrs. Shaw says that the
greatest turn over has been In
the service group since only
residents Of the Washington
area are listed. This also ac-
counts for several others who
have been dropped.
Among the new listings are
two former Governors, 'Sigurd
Anderson, now Federal Trade
Commissioner and formerly
Governor Of South Dakota and
Francis Adams Cherry, who is
serving as a member of the
