Should a woman always remove her hat in a theatre? A. Yes. It is considered bad form to keep the hat on, no matter how small it is. And in the case of some hats, it is very inconsiderate of those seated in back of you if the hat is kept on and retards their view. Q. Is it considered good manners alway to leave a little food on one's plate? A. Absolutely not. It is always a compliment to the hostess or cook to eat everything on the plate. Q.

The new device will be used in shaking the meat out of the body and legs of crabs caught during the fishing cruise. The crab meat device is the in- vention of Harry Lang, chief engi- neer of the Deep Sea. It is believed here to be the first fishing craft in the North Pacific with radar. The 140-foot steel trawler is under command of Capt. William M. Blackford and carries a crew of 25 men.
