The first is from gu girl in Virginia. Dear Louisa fond year of high school jents won't allow me to have dates {or go out with boys.

Perhaps they (will not object if you double date (with another nice boy and gh or others homes. I myself have a boy of sixteen, and while I do not al- low him to have dates on school HOW TO GET WHAT YOU WANT Nobody can bake a cake like our Aunt Sally. We don't care if Mrs Jones does use the same ingredients, in the same proportions bakes it at the same temperature, It still isn't as good as Aunt Sa':'y'’s. When we have a party at our house we want a cake Aunt Sally baked because we know exactly how good it will be. She never falls. What is this mysterious ingredient that makes us like one cake, or soup, or automobile better than another-—regardless of the fact that ac- cording to the label, competing articles are made of the same things? One manufacturer advertises: “The priceless ingredient of any product is the honor and integrity of the maker.” That seems to be the right answer. That Is why the movement that's afoot to eliminate trade marks leaves us cold. Supposedly. some new government-supervised method of specifications would guarantee us better value for our money, We don’ believe it. We think that manufacturers who did not have to identify their products with their trade marks could easily slip ane over on us, because with no trade mark to tell us, we wouldn't know whom to blame. Contrariwise, we know that when we ask for an article by brand name or trade mark, we are going to get that “priceless ingredient” that satisfies us. We wouldn't know how to describe the taste we lke about Campbell's tomato soup—we just know we like that particular taste and the simple way to be sure of getting it is to ask for Campbell's tomato Soup. You won't catch us buying any “Grade A. Sedan, specifications 16F9" when the war's over. We want one of the standard cars that have proven their worth in the many years past. Purthermor®, we'd like to see the trade mark stamped on our car in a conspicuous place, We've got faith in trade marks. CAUTION TO ‘FOG DRIVERS Warning of dangerous habits of “fog drivers, Club yesterday urged motorists to observe driving on roads enshrouded by fog 1. Use depressed headlight beam instead of cowl or parking lights which provide no sight distance and fall to wam rivers of approach. ing vehicles. 2. Never run without lights because a vehicle so operated is exposed to constant danger of collision . 3. Keep to the right of the highway, drive slowly an] avoid sutiden stops. 4. Keep a sharp lookout for flashing signals at road and street in- tersections, Many “stop and go” signals now are operated as blinkers, And some motorists are apparently ignorant of the requirgment lo stop when the signal flashes red. 5. Remember that fog condensing on the highway may form a thin coating of ice, which increases very greatly the hazard of driving under foggy conditions. 6. Never “straddle” the white line in the center of the highway, The fellow coming from the opposite direction may be doing “he same thing 7. Keep at least one window open slightly to prevent mist on the in- side of the windshield. Windshield wipers should be kept in good oper- ating condition and drivers should make certain that tail lights are lighted, Edward P. Curran, Safety Director of the club, said the rules were devised on the basis of recent experience and observaticns in foggy weather. “It is really surprising,” he sald, “how little many motorists appear to know about proper procedure under foggy conditions.” Keystone Automohile the following rules when “IT'S SURE NOT A SOFT WAR” Until a few days ago, the Rapido River mesnt not! to most Am- ericans.
