It would allow the President to’ be terribly unneutral in designating such zones, as critics of the idea suggest. However, a President al- n be unneutral in many, nany ways, if he is so disposed. The Administration also o write out of the present act the wection that prohibits arming of American merchant vessels against he submarine menace. But the Iouse last session would have noth- ng of it, even though it accepted nost of the rest of the Administra- ion’s bill. President Wilson tried to get withority to arm merchant vessels n the last war, but “a group of vilful men,” some still in the Sen- ite, refused to let him have it. To wm American ships to fight their vay through a blockade, subma- sine or any other kind, is exciting susiness.

When a man invites a girl to dine isn't she privileged to order freely whatever she wants? A. Certainly; but unless she knows that her escort can afford it, should not be too extravagant | in her choice. Even if she knows that | the cost is not to be considered, it is not good form to order as though she were starving, or that it is the first “real meal” she has had for a long time. Q. Does a well-bred person boast about his possessions, his home, his income and the like? A. Never. This is a habit often indulged in by the nouveau riche, but a well-bred man or woman never refers to his possessions. The old proverb says, “Every fool is in love with his own bauble.” Q. Is it ever permissible to whis- | per in public? ! A. No. Persons near you may think you are commenting on their appearance. - -ee | S T R | [ DAILY LESSONS | IN ENGLISH E By W. g S ?
