Attractive
Electric refrigerators and ranges have gone far toward promoting modern kitchens throughout the land.
Greater conveniences for the housewife, especially in the kitchen, have become a national demand.
Demand For Modern Equipment In
Kitchen Becomes National In Scope
THE seed of popular acceptance
of a new and higher standard
for American kitchens has been
years in growing. "Sanitary
plumbing" planted it. Electric
ranges and refrigerators advanced
it. Dozens of other forces, from
the home economist to the manu
facturer of floor coverings, have
added their impetus. Leading wo
men's and household magazines
have fostered it. Now the seed
has flowered into a national need
for greater convenience, style and
efficiency tn woman's home work
shop, which cries for fulfillment.
There is present popular inter
est in kitchen modernizing. Today
millions of home-makers are con
scious of the defects of their
present kitchens and are aware
that the cost of renovating and
improving is within their reach.
Manufacturers are now offering
complete kitchen outfits with style
coordination at relatively low
prices. Home-makers are begin
ning to realize that modernizing
brings to the kitchen and to kitch
en tasks the pride, pleasure and
ease which so rightfully belong
there.

the soup was out of a can and the
shoe-string potatoes came from
the grocery store in a wax paper

Gwi Etiquette is More
Than Surface Veneer
By Deborah Ames
I WAS having an argument the
other day as to the correct def
inition of the word "etiquette."
My opponent insisted that it
meant merely the surface veneer
of manners that people in the
higher walks of life have acquired
that it is something that is not
vitally necessary to the average
person. I claim that "etiquette,"
to me at least, is much larger
than is any set of manners alone.
It goes deeper than the surface of
conformity to conventions, and
relies on the basis of tradition
that our many forefathers have
given us.
I think it was Kmerson who
said: "There is always a best way
of doing everything . . , Manners
form a rich varnish with which
the routine of life is washed and
its details adorned. If they are
superficial, so are the dewdrops
that give such a depth to the
morning meadows."
' I have never known anyone, no
matter how great a person he
was, who could "get away" with
just a superficial veneer. Manners,
although important, are truly of
secondary importance it is ones
manner that is most important.
Once the few basic rules, are
learned, you can forget the de
tails and build . up the biggest
thing your personality. You
can't possibly leave a feeling of
graoiousness and calmness with
your fellow beings when you are
worried by doubts and a feeling
of uncertainty.
I think the basis of all manners
lies in that old proverb "Polite
ness is to do and say the kindest
thing in the kindest way." I don't
know who first said that, but I
can remember it, being dinned in
to me from the age r- r e
until I was old enough not to need
it. Make a habit oi being ccu-e-ous
always and everywhere.
Manners that are brought out
only on state occasions usually fit
as poorly as clothes that are worn

kindly and act kindly toward
everyone even toward the person
you most dislike before long you
will have developed an unconsci

AFTER you have developed
this kindliness of manner,
there is another thing to learn
a true sense of people's worth.
Never estimate men for what
they possess, but for what they
are. The truly well-bred man or
woman has simple tastes and
makes no glorification of money.
A display of wealth is as vulgar
as a contempt for those who do
not have it. Never treat anyone
with contempt romember that
there is at least one fine quality
in every person. A sense of values
will give you a good-humored tol
erance of others.

the audience, and say:
"Will you please hold this for
me for a few minutes while I per
form my next trick." (The person
holding the handkerchief can feel
the ring through the cloth.) "And
will you hold the ring tightly be
tween your fingers so that it can't
fall out of the handkerchief."
Turning to your table, pick up
an ordinary egg cup and turn it
upside down showing it to be
empty. Replace the egg cup on
the table and pickup an egg and
hand it out to be examined. When
the egg has been thoroughly ex
amined and returned to you, re
mark: "We magicians believe that
everything has ita proper place
and after all the proper place for
an egg la in an egg cup, so I will
put this egg in its proper place."
Place the egg in the egg cup.
Now, walk over to the specta
tor holding the ring wrapped in
the handkerchief and, taking hold
of one comer, ask him to let the
handkerchief drop. As you do this,
place your other hand under the
handkerchief as though to catch
the ring when it falls. As the
handkerchief unfolds, your audi
ence will naturally expect the
ring to fall into your hand, but
to the surprise of everyone the
handkerchief is empty!
Shake the handkerchief out and
show both sides and your hands
to be empty, saying:
"I don't know who's to blame
for this, but it looks as though
one of us has lost this lady's
wedding ring. Ry the way. have

Return to your table and pick

Pick up a hutton hock and

They were big the largest hav

One weighed almost a pound. The
section they covered was less than
four square miles, and they
climbed trees, eating, eating. A
tree was photographed, and it
showed over 200 snails, eating for
their lives.
No one had seen them crawling
over the ground, approaching in
an army of millions. No one had
noticed them until they appeared,
clinging to the trees. Every shrub
and green thing was covered with
the monsters. The interested
CEYLON OBSERVER reported
these snails were "never known
In Ceylon before, and their com
ing continues to be a mystery."
Trees sagged, heavy with their
weight; branches were eaten and
fell. The gnawing sound was
heard day and night. Natives
were bribed to gather thousands
into piles and burn them.
The avalanche of snails was
"explained." A planter 50 miles

one. Five Star Weekly, in an
article on the Winchester House
at San Jose, California, in the is

unique house was opened waa "for
the entrance and exit of Mary

not true, since Mrs. Eddy, It is
learned, was never west of Chica

COAL TO DIAMONDS
COAL is really the fossilized
remnins of giant ferns and
other vegototion which grew on
this earth long before the time of
man. Millions of years ago, great
upheavals of earth and water cov
ered these trees and plants, and
the tremendous pressure changed
them into various forms of car
bon, which is what coal is.
Speaking of carbon, did you
know that the dense black coal
and the beautiful shiny diamond
are mode of the same material,
carbon? The difference is due to
tho difference in pressure while
they were being formed.
