MODERN
MANNERS
Protocol and Precedence:
Importance in q Democracy
By CAROLYN HAGNER SHAW

become nameleSs upon as
Stunning office. For example,
the President of the United
States becomes Mr.. Presi-
dent" or Sir" when speak
ing to him, the President"
when addressing a letter to
him. His name is never used
because it is superfluous.
There is only one President.
The same rule applies when
addressing the following men
who hold top positions in our
government: the Vice Presi-
dent, "Mr. Vice President;
the Speaker Of the United
States House of Representa-
tives, "Mr. Speaker; the
Chief Justice of the United
States, "Mr. Chief Justice"
The members of the cabinet
are addressed as Mr.. Secre-
tary," with two exceptions,
"Mr. Attorney General" and
Mr.. Postmaster General"
To go back to the who
outranks-whom" part of pro-
tocol. Without realizing it, we
all practice it every day! A
gentleman opens a door for a
lady, steps back, and ushers
her through first. He stands
when she enters a room. We
show special Difference to the
elderly. Our children are
taught to respect their par
ents and grown-ups gen.
orally.
What is all this but actual
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1961-10-08

Last week it was announced
formally that the Speaker
of the House of Representa-
tives had been elevated from
fifth in the order of protocol
precedence to third place. He
now is only outranked by
the President and the Vice
President of the United
States.
Since this announcement,
I have received many inquir-
les as to just what protocol"
. and its attendant 'prece-
dence" really means.
All too often protocol is re-
ferred to as an unnecessary
following of forms and rules
.. a social affectation seems
to be the general consensus
of opinion. Nothing could be
further from the truth. The
person who underestimate
the Importance of protocol
(from the who-o utra nks-
whom angle at least) forgets
that this country is a democ-
racy.
While we do not observe
protocol in the highly formal
lied manner of the mon
arches, we must take cog
nizance of rank. Protocol in
its entirety actually means
the rules prescribing the eti-
quette in the ceremonies Of
state.
Comparative Ranks
This brings up the question
of how the comparative ranks
Cor precedence) of those in
official life are determined.
It's definitely not, as the old
saying has it, because God
made us so that we cannot all
get through a door at the
same time, therefore prece-
dence!" The object in deter
mining where a certain Off
ciaI should rank is to be sure
that he is given the honor
and respect to which he is
entitled. because of the posi-
ton he holds not because Of
the man himself.
Where he is placed depends
upon the importance Of his
job with relation to other Of
ficials. For example, prece-
dence of a cabinet official is
arrived at in accordance with
the order in which the differ
ent executive branches of the
Government were created.
For instance. the Secretary Of
State outranks the Secretary
of Agriculture because the
State Department was found
ed before the Department Of
Agriculture.

choose the. friend you have
known the longest to serve
in this capacity. The others
can be asked to be brides

Can a cream really make dramatic
improvements in aging skin? Is this
possible? Today, the probability
exists as never before. Surely no
woman will deny herself the chance
to find out if she can regain look
she thought had gone forever.
SCIENTISTS ARE SKEPTICS. They
believe only what they can prove.
Doctors and research scientists
from four of the worlds great uni
versities tested 'Eterna 81 with ex-
elusive Progenitin. Their signed
documents state exactly what they
saw this cream do for women.

they saw remarkable results. Usu-
ally, the skin with the most appar-
ent signs of age showed the most
improvement. In most of the re-
naming cases, while the change
was not so dramatic, the skin did
look more youthful and definitely
smoother. With such medical testi.
mony from prominent specialists
in the field of skin care, can there
be doubt that here, at last, is the
kind of cream that women have
hoped for with every passing year9
In just 40 days of use, you will see
how your skin responds.
WHY 40 DAYS? Tests show that
'Eterna 81 begins to show results
after 2 to 8 weeks of faithful use.
But like medicine, like special
diet. :. it takes time for the cream
to do its work. In 40 days, the maxi
mum benefits are visible. But re-
member that 'Eterna 81 is not
plastic surgery, not cure. 1t is
special cospetic treatment against
aging skin. To keep the benefits,
the cream should be used nightly
thereafter. For if you deprive your
skin Of the vital ingredients that
caused the Improvements :. the
benefits will disappear. Your COM
mon sense will tell you that.

1929 Delegates
Attend American
Red Cross Meet

E. Roland Hartman, chair
man, American National Red
Cross, Geb. Alfred M. Gruen-
ther, president, ARC; Gen. Car
los P. Romulo, PHILIPPINE Am
bassador to the United States
were among the speakers at the
36th annual national ARC con-
vention which was held in Gin
cinnati, and attended by 1929
registered delegates. President
Kennedy's warm greeting to
convention delegates noted that
since its founding the ARC has
represented the great and gen.
erous heart of the American
people," "At no time in the
peacetime history of our coun-
try, or in the restless history
of the world; has there been
greater need for the understand
ing which Red Cross can pro-
mote; for the determination and
help Red Cross can instill; and
for its proven ability to serve
people around the world" the
message read in part.
In the keynote address, Mr..
Hartman called for spirit of
self sacrifice to guard against
an atmosphere of selfishness,
which he said could destroy our
nation and the entire world.
Fortunately, there is an an
tidote-selfle S n Sand the
Red Cross offers one good way
of administering this healing
potion" he stated in a warning
that a soft life can lead to a
hard future.
General Romulo, speaking at
the convention dinner lauded
the American Red Cross for
helping to show the spiritual
side of America to the world.

erica's image abroad in a way

Shells total county and school
taxes would be only 100000.
!. If Shell should bring 500

to pay for the added schools

Notes From the Washington
International Horse Show

Tuesday, October "a, 1t all
started, and each days perform
ance, through Sundays cham
pionship classes, was well rep
resented by Potomac spectators
and exhibitors. The six day
horse show was a huge success.
The notes go this way:
Opening night-Lots Of glim-
mer and glamour. Cliff and
Edge Little very active, Cliff in
charge of the show ring COM
mittee, and Edge chiefing the
decorating committee. They in
vited us out of the Press gal
lery to join them in their box.
The Armory looked lovely.
The show committee included
lots of Potomac names, and
Tipping through the program
there were many entries from
the area. First win for Po-
tonac exhibitor went to Kristie
Miller who won a second show
ing her own Al-Marah Ralla in
the Arabian Horse Mounted Ma
tive Costume Class. (Some man
in the next box just opened a
bottle Of champagne and it
showered the gentleman in
front of him. His date has the
giggles. Man showered, furious.
He seems to be sitting with

bubbling all over his back. Girl
still giggling. The more she gig
giles the angrier Mr.. Doused
gets. Her date very apologetic.
Poor girl, it does look funny

into Mr.. and Mrs. Robert
Schneider, Potomac residents
awhile back, before they moved

country now and live in Vir-

ing Mrs. Robert Kennedy show
the Claude Owens Sky's Pride.
She said she used to ride with
her in Connecticut when they
were both younger, and added
that Mrs. Kennedy was a real
show circuit trooper in her
younger days.
Wednesday and Thursday eve
ming weren't as crowded, but
very good shows both nights.
Friday evening, when the Presi-
dent and Mrs. Kennedy appear
ed, was a lulu. I saw John c.
Adams, another committeeman,
who had been down since early
afternoon, but his wife Polly,
came in around seven pm. and
couldn't get within five miles
of the Armory. She, and the
four guests who We're her pas
sengers, turned around and
went back to Potomac. The $500
seats were selling for $500, ac-
cording to hearsay, and people
were milling and craning to-
wards the Presidential box. Aft
er Mrs. Kennedy presented the
President of the United States
Cup to Carlos Damn, winner of
