Applications of aium will usually cure a case of ingrowing nail in about five days. The ap- plication is not painful in the least and is usually effective.

Then drain, mix with milk, thicken with a little flour, and season with salt, pepper, and a tablespoon of butter. This makes a delicious soup. Q.

To remove the bitterness, olives are soaked in a lye solution, washed, and then put in brine. The people of Greece, however, are laid to relish fresh untreated olives that have been dried. In the Far North in Green- land the growing saaton for plants lasts barely two months hi the year.

"When a prisoner alters a state- ment he has previously made, it does not necessarily mean he is untruthful," the judge pointed out to his court. "For instance," he said, "when I entered the bus this morning I could have sworn I had my watch with me but later I remem- bered that I had left it on my dressing table under an envelope.'' When he returned home his wife asked him the reason for his anxiety about his watch, in Bond- ing five men for it. "I didn't send any men for my watch," he said in some surprise. "Well, dear, I pave it to the first man who called as he knew Just where it was," said his wife.

WAR CORRESPONDENT AT BASEBALL GAME Authorities revealed today that the Cinnburgh Cubs and the De- york Dodpers engaged in a criti- cal baseball combat on June , at an unnamed park somewhere on the outskirts of the city. According to usually reliable sources, "Red" Wilson and Jim Smith were the starting pitchers. High Official circles in Deyork announced that the Dodsrers were victorious by a score of 6 to 4. However, a dispatch from Cinn- burjrh claimed the Cubs to be the winners, 6 to 3. Deyork news apencies reported that the feature of the game was a home run with bases loaded by their slug'gin? first baseman, "Hank"' Ottwick. This devastating blow, coming in the ninth inning with the score tied at 1-1, was alleged to have turned the tide of battle in the Dodgers' favor. Cinnburgh cor- respondents flatly denied this re- port, claiming that Ottwick's high fly wa caught near the flappole in centerfield by the sensational rookie Ted McTroskey. An umpire, whose identity re- main* 'inrevealed. issued what some observers believe to be an authentic report, but his state- ments were censored so closely as to be of little value. Informed circles believe, however, that the Cubs may have strengthened their position in the league standings by this recent offensive. Mothers who scold little boys for carrying crazy things in their pockets ihould look in their handbags. Kit- chener Record. A young private. walking through the park with his girl, met his sergeant. "This is my sister." he ex- plained, bashfully. "That's all right," the sergeant replied, kindly.

Modern Etiquette BY ROBERTA LEE 1. What are some things a girl should not do when applying for a position? 2. Should one aver advise or ridicule other players in any game of sports'.' 8. How far in advance should vacation reservations be made? 4. When two or more women enter a street-car who ihould pay the carfare? 6. Isn't it rude for a person to shove when attempting to pass through a crowd? 6. To whom should complaints be made by a person who is stay- ing in a hotel? Answers 1. Smoke a cigaret, chew gum, or powder her nose are three things she should not do if she really wants the position. 2. Ad- vice on how to play a game should never be given to players unless they have asked your help. Teach- ing should be left to profession- sis. Ridiculing any player is one of the meanest forms of insult. 8 Several weeks in advance if possible. When delayed too long, one- is often disappointed. 4. Too much fuss is made about this trivial matter. Usually the one who has the exact change ready, or the one who encounters the conductor first, pays the fare. 6. Yea. The courteous way is to ay, "May I pass, please?" 6. They should be made directly to the management or the desk clerk. Make the complaints in a pleas- ant manner, never in a disagree- able or quarrelsome fashion. WITH IE. DIXIE PLUG SMOKING TOBACCO "School at Work" Coming to C.N.E.
