Does modern society require that a man merely touch the brim of his hat when speaking to I woman? A. This is quite commonly done, and my men of seemingly good man- ners-but it still has the appear- ance of a half-hearted greeting. Any man of really good breeding tvill lift his hat, not Just touch it. Q. If a girl is the house guest of another girl, is it all right for her to accept a social invitation if her hostcss is not included? A. It is all right if she has first consiiltcti hcr hostess and found that it tiocs not conflict with any plans she may have already made. Q. Is it all right for a man to ask his bride--elcct to help him sel- rct iirr uctiriiiii: ring" REGULAR BXEBCISE PAYS We have only to look at the sur- face of the human body, with its hundreds of muscles. to realize that they were placed there for a pur- pose. Man is covered with muscle from the top of his head to the soles of his feet. In prehistoric times. man worked .or exercised these muscles in his pursuit of food. but today there is so much done for him that he scarcely uses these muscles. It is for this reason, that is. the lack of need to exercise his muscles. that physicians, while pointing out the dangers of severe or hard exercise in the elderly, sug- gest vigorous exercise for the young, I macs DIVIDENDS ””"”""d1"3' 3 nioclcrate exercise for the middle- aged and very light excrcise-walk- ing and a few bending exercises- ior the elderly. when little or no exercise is being taken, there is lack of appetite, fccbie heart beat, low blood pres- sure, constipation.

The exer- tion (exercise) acts as 8. stimulus in liypotcnsion and as a sedative (quieter) in hypertension, that is, acts as a counterregulator. We learn that in low blood pres- sure. usually individuals under weight and taking little or no ex- ercise, the use of their muscles in any exertion raises the blood pres- sure and they feel stronger and more willing to work or exercise. On the other hand. the individual with high blood pressure. by taking regular systematic exercise, can gradually get it down to or nearly to normal and it will remain there as long as he continues his exer- cise and particularly if he loses some excess fat. either by exercise or by cutting down on his food. Remember, then, the muscles were meant to be used and that is why regular exercise. even if 'only five to ten minutes daily, increases iippetite, strengthens the heart and lowers the blood pressure. And, where blood pressure is low, it is increased by exercise. ANStVl-Iii 7 l. Omit straight. 2. Pronounce the i as in rib. not as in rite. 3. Marshmallow. 4.

I brought 'the old woman' in to have her hair done and I've been waiting for her, well.” he said ruefully, ”it seems like hours." . And James said then with a look above the roof tops, ”I do believe the sun's about to break through. it was so cloudy this morning I didn't think there'd be harvest- ing today, but there will be after dinner I'm thinking. '.'Tbe other man nodded. "i reckon I'd better go in and have another look-she may be done by this." And as we moved out of earreach James commented gravely: "What a time to choose for getting a hair-do . . .you might say Just at the start of the harvest! Couldn't she have waited for a rainy day? Or until the grain was all saved? Bet you." he added on an after- thought." she's not much like her great-grandmother. She wouldn't have been fussing about waves this time of year. I've heard the old folks say, she could bind and stock as fast as any man."

I am 16. a senior in high school, an am dating a boy of 22. My parents object to my dating him be. cause his nationality is not the same as ours. We have known and liked his family lo? miiny years. My mother likes the boy, except par this one objection. He always comes aftcr me for our dates, comes in and talks to my parents before we leave.

ANSWER: I know of no nation that has ever produced only had people, and I know of no nation that has ever produced only good ones. It is not the place of birth, nor the place of one's parents' birth. that counts; it is the individual personality and character that makes a fine. or despicable, person. ALL NATIONS HAVE CONTRIBUTED Muriel Nlaaea All the nations of the world have contributed to the building of our splendid country. and the individual rffocis of the millions of immigrants that have come to our shores cannot be minimized. The country from which your friend. or more probably his parents, comes has been particularly generous in sending us fine men and women. Their names are prominent in the arts. in all professions, and appear with increasing frequency in the student rosters of our most prominent schools. Your friend seems to be a lad of good manners and common sense. Taking these things into consideration, I cannot believe that your parents would object to him solely on the grounds that his fam- ily has its roots in one part of Europe. and yours in another. For don't forget, even though your family has been in this country a long. long time, its origin is on the other side of the Atlantic. Since you tell me that you and your mother are able to work problems out together. this one should be discussed more frankly. l'm sure there is a deeper motive in your parents' feelings about the young man. . DEAR MISS DIX: I am a divorces of 27. with A 2-year-old son. Since my divorce, I have met a married man whom I have grown to love. His wife is getting a divorce. Now my cx-husband is trying to get me back. He promises to change the things that led to our divorce. Should I give him another chance? v F. A. ANSWER: You are certainly involved in a matrimonial merry- 'i:o-round. Better give up the married hesu and let your ex-husband prove his sincerity by rcfnrmlng before you re-marry him. You need a good stabilizer. and he seems the logical contender for the Job. D All MISS DIX: My wife, daughter and I are involved in a constant argument because I object to my daughter sitting in a park- ed csr with her young man until 2 A.M. My wife contends that the girl is of age and should be permitted to live her own life. ' H.'l'. ANSWER: By "of age". I presume you mean IR. At that age a girl should be able to use her own judgment in many things, but. the guidance of her parents is never amiss. As for "living her own life", no one can do that and be happy. While there is no objection to a girl sitting in a parked car talking, that is seldom the end of a story. The setting is conducive to more serious petting than is wise, and the situation itself is bound to lead to unpleasant gossip. Your daughter should, by all means, bring the young man into the house for an early morning chat. Your wife should uphold you in the mat- tor for the sake of her daughter's welfare.
