Modem Etiquette
Q. Certain friends are always say-
ing, “You must come to see us
soon,” but do not set a time or date.
What should be our reactions to
this?
A. If you really want to visit
them, you have a perfect right to
phone and say, “If you are going to
be home this evening, we should
like to see you for awhile." If they
agree, all well and good. If they
are going to be out and do not
name another definite evening, then
you can assume their previous In-
vitations were insincere.
Q. Is it necessary to write a “thank
you” letter, when one has been en-
tertained informally at dinner?
A. No; when leaving, be sure to
tell your hostess how much you
have enjoyed the evening, and then
in a few weeks Invite her to your
home.
Q. Is It proper to say. “I am glad
to have seen you,” when leaving an
acquaintance one has met on the
street? ,
A. If you can say this sincerely,
yes.
Q. How can I retain the auburn
tint In my hair?
A. A few cents worth of salts of
tartar diluted in a pint of warm
water is one of the very best prepa-
rations for retaining the tint of
auburn hair. Rub this into the hair
until a good lather is worked up;
leave on for about half an hour be-
fore rinsing in clear water. This
cleanses and also brings out the au-
burn tint in the hair.
Q Row can I acquire soft hands?
A. Before retiring each night, rub
pure olive oil into the hands and
then don a pair of gloves and leave
them on until morning.
Q. What can I do if there is not
enough pastry to make an upper
crust for a pie?
A. Cut it into strips and make a
lattice-work top. No one will know
the reason for your doing so.
Q. How can I make use of the
vinegar in which mixed pickles are
packed?
A. This vinegar gives a delicious
spiced flavor to salad dressing,
much better than ordinary vinegar.
Q. How can I easily Iron shirt
collars?
A. Try ironing the collars on a
Turkish towel doubled to four thick-
nesses. The collars will Iron much
more easily, they will be smoother,
and shine like new when finished.
Q. How can I clean lace that Is
very fine and old?
A. If reulctant about laundering
the lace, shake powdered magnesia
over it thoroughly, wrap In a towel,
and allow to stand for several days.
Then shake out any powder and
press carefully.

quick look at Eau Claire, Wis., Union High School which leaves him
goggle-eyed. Seems so many Earthlings have been spotting saucer-

come bolder and bolder until now they’re brave enough to swoop
down and be “pictured” by a gag-loving photographer.

Iron Coffins Preserve
Bodies for 100 Years
ST. LOUIS, Aug. 18— <U.R)—Well-
preserved bodies of people who died
nearly 100 years ago have been
found hi 30 iron coffins here when
they were unearthed to be moved
to a new cemetery.
The faces can be seen through
heavy glass panels In the coffins,
which originally were covered with
iron shields. The coffins were built
in two sections, which were bolted
together and sealed with pitch.
Included among the bodies were
those of a two-year-old girl who
died in 1855 and whose blonde hair
is still perfectly parted in the cen-
ter, and a middle-aged man with
a snappy Vandyke beard and mus-
tache.
Some of the deeply rusted coffins
broke open when disturbed, causing
the fragile bodies to crumple.

Red Chinese
Judges Get
Own Medicine
HONG KONG, Aug. 18 —
Communist judges In Red China
have sent thousands upon thousands
to the firing squad for being count-
er-revoluUonarles and for other al-
leged Ideological offenses In sum-
mary mob-trials. Now the judges
themselves are facing a purge on
almost similar charges.
Editorials and readers' letter* In
the Liberation Dally—party organ In
Shanghai—charged the Judges with
having lost the “correct Ideological
standpoint" in dispensing Justice.
They were said to be guilty of
“maintaining the standpoint of the
old legal system.”
The charges drew a prompt plea
of guilty from the chief judge in
Shanghai, Han Shu-tzu, which also
was published in the Liberation
Daily. Han said a “thought-reform
movement" — a Communist eu-
phemism for purge — has been
started in the Judicial branch.
The Liberation Dally threw the
charges at the Red judges after two
readers wrote the newspaper dis-
closing cases of “gross miscarriage
of Justice.’’
Divorce Denied
One woman reader complained
that she was denied a divorce from
her “counter-revolutionary” hus-
band on grundos of insufficient evi-
dence. She said her husband left
her four yeras ago to go to the
United States for further studies
and he has since returned to Taiwan
to Join the "reactionaries.”
Another reader disclosed that a
worker was summarily convicted in
1950 and sentenced to 10 months
imprisonment lor an offense which
was committed by someone else. The
actual offender had since confessed
in the recent "three anti move-
ment.” but the wrongly-convicted
worker already had died in prison
months before.
The Liberation Daily made no
mention at all of the possibility of
"gross miscarriages of justice" in
the hundreds of thousands of cases
in which alleged “counter-revolu-
tionaries." landlords, local despots,
Kuomlntang and American spies
and saboteurs were mob-tried and
sentenced to death or long terms
of imprisonment.

Worm Vendors Turn
On One Another
LOUISVILLE, Ky., Aug. 18—(U.R>
—A price war among worm vendors
here led to a sidewalk dispute end-
ing with the arrest of a woman
bait salesman.
The worms didn’t turn but Mrs.
Manda Lucas, 47, did when police
ordered her to move on. Mrs. Lucas
later appeared in municipal court
charged with conducting a private
business on public property, the
sidewalk.
Worm vendors have objected to
competitors selling bait for 40 cents
a hundred when they say the estab-
lished price is 50 cents a hundred.
The worms and the OPS had no
comment.

MILWAUKEE, Aug. 18 —(U.R)—
Mr. and Mrs. Sylvester Fox will be
at a loss for a name if they have
another baby.
All of their eight children have
four-letter names beginning with

propriate.
The youngsters are: Jean, 10;
June, 9; Jane, 7; Joan, 8; Judy,
5; Joel, 2'i; Jill, 1%, and John, 3
months.

TTOLLYWOOD. Aug. 18—<U.»—
Richard Conte, one of Holly-
wood’s most persistent movie “real-
ists," is off on a new tangent In
his current picture, the 20th of hla
career. He’s playing a costume role.
“It feels strange,” he said. “I
feel lost without a .38 in a shoulder
holster."
Conte, the son of a Newark. N. J.,
barber, has spent all his movie ca-
reer in a Hollywood captivated by
the craze for realism, and in most
of his pictures he has been the
center of a modern-day action
drama, either as the hunter or as
the hunted. If he was not a gun-
happy mobster, he was the heroic
detective on the mobster’s trail.
“I’ve got more dark blue suit*
than any actor In Hollywood.” he
said. “That’s about all I’ve worn
since 1945.”
That is why he feels almost like
a fish out of water in "Desert
Legion," his current Technicolor
assignment at Universal-Interna-
tional. Sharing top honors in the
film With Arlene Dahl and Alan
Ladd, Conte portrays a power-
hungry Algerian desert raider who
aspires to become the ruler of a
hidden mountain city.
His princely clothes, designed in
traditional Moslem styles, are gaudy
costumes of gold leaf, metallic cloth,
silver and jewels.
Arlene Dahl was even envious
of the coat I wear In the palace
scenes," Conte said. “You can bet
that never happened to me before."
Conte reached Hollywood by way
of a smash success on the Broad-
way stage in 8aroyan’s “Jason.” He
was under contract to 20th Cen-
tury-Fox for several years but more
recently has been free lancing. Six
of his last seven movies have been
made at Universal - International,
where his most recent film, “The
Raiders,” represented his first ap-
pearance In a western.
