Who Is to Blame for the shortage of milk bottles? YXT HEN a crisis is reached some men call for water and wash their hands. Their are many Pilates in the world. People of Indianapolis, you are facing a crisis in the milk production held. There is a shortage of milk bottles. An innocent looking fact, yet fraught with great peril to you and your children. The Facts are plain: It takes a certain number of bottles to insure the delivery of milk each day. Either these bottles must be promptly returned or the milk company must obtain more from the bottle manufacturers. If no bottles are obtainable from either of the above sources—Milk can not be delivered. The bottle manufacturers are unable to supply x the demand for milk bottles. In the open market recently the Polk’ Company was able to buy just four gross of bottles. Compare this amount of bottles with the actual needs of ' Indianapolis, as shown by figures for last year. The Polk Company last year used 45 car loads of bottles, at an expenditure of $34,000, to replace milk bottles broken, lost or retained for other purposes. Unless some speedy solution of this problem is reached a state of famine will exist in the midst of plenty. For the lack of bottles, many children will j miss their daily milk, and for children of a tender age this is a calamity. Milk is the sole food of many little ones. You can aid them hy promptly returning every milk bottle after it is emptied of its original contents; by looking throughyour cellar and unearthingany bottles that in past tnne have been carelessly thrown then, POLK’S ‘ ’TLTS*" Best Milk Counts Ask Your Physician.

THE RIGHT THING AT THE RIGHT TIME By MARY MARSHALL S. DUFFEE.

Outgrown Etiquette There are certain little acts of courtesy that men a generation ago used to perform that the man cf today discards. In fact, to cliijg to the etiquette that Is past shows a lack of knowledge of the ways of the world. There are old-school gentlemen who feel that the young man of today Is lacking is chivalry because he does not take the arm of the woman he is escorting when they come to a street crossing. Now, in reality, unless the woman is aged or so frail as to need his assistance, it would be decidedly out of place, according to present-day Ideas of good form, to do so. Among old-fashioned southern men especially the notion persists that a man should always? take the street side of the sidewalk when walking with a woman. This is another outgrown rule. To be sure, when walking along a country highway this Is sotketimes expedient because of the dust or mud In the road. In the city, though, it is more considerate to take the side that will protect the woman most from rubbing pedestrian traffic coming from the the opposite direction. Men used to be expected to pay women's fares oftener than good usage would permit them to do today. The present feeling is that a man has no right to offer to pay a woman’s fare when he happens to meet a woman friend or acquaintance. If he is acting as her escort that is another proposition; then he is privileged to pay all expenses, but when he merely happens to meet her he would be presuming to do this. The old-fashioned man will argue with yon concerning the question of taking oft hats in a business elevator. Now really, there is nothing to argue about. In certain locations it Is the right thing, but in New York and other more northern cities it Is certainly no sign of bad breeding for a man to keep his hat on in the elevator of an office building when women are present. He regards the public elevator as he would a conveyance. However, he does not stand covered when riding In the elevator of a hotel or an apartment house, when • women are present. In general the old-school notion was to treat women all more or less as infirm creatures who needed a great deal of helping about. The well-bred man then was expected to assist almost to the point of lifting a lady out of a

carriage or railway train. His arm was always at her disposal. And, of course, women were frailer. Moreover, often they wore clothes that made them rather helpless. A woman of that day really was in actual danger of tripping or stumbling in the voluminous skirts and petticoats that extended to her shoetops. WHAT READERS ASK. “Would It be considered forward for a young lady to ask a young man whom she meets occasionally to call upon her?” Certainly not. In fact, strictly speaking, a young man is not supposed to ask for the privilege of calling, as it is regarded by many persons as decidedly the privilege of the young girl or her mother to take tho Initiative In this matter. However, a yonng girl would not ask a young man to call unless she had good reason to know that he would appreciate the honor of so doing.—Copyright,, 1920.
