In time of peace prepare for war, and you'll get it. International relations since the World War ean be niarked down as about the worst in history for times of peace. Most of the nations seem to have a chip on the shoulder. Europe is restlessly at peace.

TO SAFETY During 1936 more than 30 per cent of | the accidental deaths in the United States occurred in the supposed security of the home, according to the National Safety Council. It has been found that a great many home accidents which deaths or serious disability are through lack of proper lighting. A house adequately lighted with con- venient fixtures and controlling switches affords protection against accident. The substitution of modern electric wiring for the out-moded variety may prevent fires. A sufficient number of electric outlets to care for dangling electric wires or those left lying on floors for the use of radios, lamps and equipment may offset the pos- sibility of dangerous falls, : In finishing floors, against possible slipping and resultant dan- gerous accidents should be considered. Steps and stairs well planned, with rail- ings or bannisters may mean protection to life and limb. Stoves, heating plants, water heaters, etc., should not represent fire hazards, and care must be taken to guard against burns and fire from these necessary household necessities. Every possible safeguard against ac- cidents in the home is well worth the money and effort expended. caused TABLE MANNERS When perplexed about some matter of table etiquette, such as which fork to use, those of us who are not highly trained in the niceties of correct eating may find In the horse-and- -bugsy days when! consolation in the fact that yntil about 300 the}umpires in a baseball fee failed to yeats ago no one, net évén kings and s of the fans, isn’t being umpire according to the whi the® were thrown out, but dor anymore. tolerant and sensible.

Queen Elizabeth of _England, who We have learned to be] died in 1603, is said to have been the first to eat with a fork, and her courtiers and people frowned upon_the innovation.
