 Welfare societies have furnished food and milk and in many cases rent money as long as they could. Then came the day that htye could do no more. The milkman stop ped coming and heaven only knows what keeps life in some of our little people!
 There Is no doubt that many Q distracted mother gazes at her baby's thin cheeks and blue lips and prays on her knees that some one will come and take him and give him a chance to live If she keeps him he will die. She will make the supreme sacrifice to give him his chance.
 In such a case there Is one thing still better than adoption. That Is, if you know such a mother and can afford 1t. to give her the money for milk and decent food and clothes and a doctor and let her keep her baby with her.
 But there are 50 many babies who have no mothers and. as have said, the Homes are too full to provide sanctuary for them all Since times have been so. low, adoption is greatly on the decrease. But many people have not been hit so terribly. Surely there Is rom for an extra baby here and there among us.
 Y It is hot weather. The death rate this summer is going to be terrible. Cannot someone who reads this think of some baby to help in some way, in its home or out of 1t?

 Who is adopting a. baby? There are thousa ands of babies who will have little chance to live if they are not taken into good homes, mothered, and cherished in these hard times. M
 Besides. the orphanage and asy- lums for destitute children are oyer-crowded with precious little mites who would love to belong to something.
 No one wishes to separate a baby from his mother. have for years preached and prayed that this very thing should not be allowed to happen, Mothers with babies should be given enough to support them both with necessary food and comforts. Mother and child are a unit and every effort should be made to keep the baby in a home of his own with the mother who loves him better than anyone else in the world.
 Mothers pensions are a consid. erable part of the budget in some states. thers are considering the idea, and still others have not reached that stage. It is very slow coming.
 Things now are too urgent to wait and besides it would be fool- isf to assert that eyen in states where the appropriation Is adc- cuate in normal times, all mothers who need this money are helped. And. even if they are given state help now, what with husbands out of work for months. or years, the money must be ,pre-empted for other things in many cases.

 North had the opening lead and while it Is customary to open the top of your partners suit, rather than your own, especially when. your hand is lacking of re-entries. most of the North players decided to swing the diamond suit and Ted the eight. South played the queen and the declarer was forced to win the first trick with his blank ace of diamonds. He then swung his ace, king and queen of clubs. but on the third lead South showed out of clubs, discarding the eight of spades. Two small hearts were thrown from dummy. The declarer, not realizing that there were seven diamonds in one hand against him, then led the nine of clubs to establish the club suit. North won the trick with the Jack, East dropped a heart, and South spade.
 Now for a long dry spell North started on that long string of diamonds. He has six straight diamond tricks. On the first five of them East followed with the seven and four of diamonds and discarded three small hearts. West, the declarer, could discard the five and jack of hearts and the. five and eight of clubs and the seven of spades. This left him with the ace of hearts and the king and queen of spades.
