UNCLE RAYS CORNER
1.-The Master Builder

L. Inc M1SCcT bullOef.
At this season thousands of new
houses are being built. People, who
are going to live in them look
with interest at the work of the
carpenters, masons, plumbers, lath-
ers, plasterers and so on. There is
Joy as the house, slowly but surely,
comes to the point where it is fin
ished, and is ready for the family to
move in.
If the house proves to be a good
one, we owe thanks to the archi-
tect, the man who drew the plans.
If his work was done with care
and skill, the house will show the
marks of it.
Some persons may say, I'VE didnt t
have an architect for our home
The contractor built it from plans
we picked out in book" Great
numbers of houses are built from
such plans, but you may be sure
there was an architect somewhere
back along the line. Perhaps a
dozen architects drew the plans in
d certain book, and perhaps thou
sand homes have been built from
those plans.
It may save you money when
feady-made plans are used, and
money saving is extra important at
the time of house building. Most
houses cost thousands of dollars,
Ind II q person can save on the
cost Of special architect, it may
mean something to him.

On the other hand, many persons
want houses built by their own
ideas, and are not able to find
ready made plans which fit those
ideas. In such cases, an architect
is greatly needed. The home-build-
er tells him what is wanted, and
he works out the plans as well as
he can.
If any one fancies that all an ar
chitect does is to make a set of
drawings" he is wrong. Working
on a special house, the architect
does far more than that. He often
has to make two sets of general
plans before the home builder Is
content. Later he must make sets

Who Build Houses

OF detail drawings. for the use of
the millwork company, the carpen-
tiers and others on the job. The
detail drawings show how many
things should be made, and how
they should be fitted, down to the
inch.
Another task of the modern ar
chitect is to watch the work of
building. He must see that the
many kinds of work are being done
in the right way. Very likely he has
three or four houses going up at
the same time, and this keeps him
driving from one to another. He,
also. is trying to stay in his Office
a few hours day!
The name architect" came from
old Greek words meaning master
builder" In the old days, the man
who made the plans for q building
later went to work setting it up. He
had crews of helpers, and told 9TH
ers how to carry on. Today the
master builder" does not work with
saws, hammers or bricks, but if he
is true to his task, he Cor a part
ner or careful aSsistant) will watch
the building grow into a house.

East's and Vests spirited de-
fensive bidding finally got South to
a contract at which he should have
been set. But the defense slipped
little and he made the hand.
The singleton club was opened
Declarer won with the ace and laid
down the queen of hearts, where
upon West made mistake No. /
he held off with the ace. Now de-
clarer played the ace and another
diamond, trumping in dummy. and
led small spade. East made mistake
No. 2. Fearing declarer held the
singleton queen Of spades, he went
right up with the ace and played the
queen of clubs. West discarded, de-
clarer won in dummy with the king,
led the king of spades, discarded a
club from his own hand, ruffed a
spade. ruffed a diamond in dummy,
ruffed the last spade and led a low
heart.
West was now in the lead with the
ace and had to play another dia-
mond, Whereupon declarer simply
trumped in dummy and discarded
the remaining losing club from his
own hand.
The mistakes were rather un-
usual. West could have beaten the
hand by playing his ace on the first
trump lead! East could have beaten
the hand by not playing his ace on
the first spade lead!

How do you play the trumps?
Answer-You can afford to lose
one trump trick, but not two. The
correct play is to lay down the ace
of trumps and then play low club
toward the jack. There is no play
to make the hand if either opponent
holds four trumps to the king. This
play guards against a Al split, with
the king being singleton.
Score 100 per cent for correct
play, 0 for any other play.

Life of Alaskan Seal
Described by Bell

The domestic life of the Alaskan
fur seal was described to WASH
ington Alumni of Massachusetts
Institute of Technology last night
by Frank T. Bell. who retires in
March as commissioner of the
United States Bureau of Fisheries.
Mr.. Bell visited the seal colonies
In Beaing Sea waters last July,
where he learned, he said, that the
valuable fur-bearing animals are
on the increase, thanks largely
to the operation of a protective
treaty between Great Britain, Japan
and the United States.
The treaty stopped the slaughter
of the seals by raiding poachers
from many ports, and the present
census, r. Bell said, shows a 2,OO0,-
600 population where a scant 100000
existed before. At least $4,000 900
worth of fur was taken while the
seals multiplied, Mr.. Bell said.
Mr.. Bell, who has been in WASH
ington since 1922, plans to return
to Washington State. where he owns
hotel and stock farm. after his
resignation becomes effective about
the middle of March.

Search Is FruitIess
For Mother Court
Ordered 10 Jail
Woman Is Believed
To Have Left Town to
Avoid Giving Up Child

After fruitless overnight search
deputy marshals continued today to
look for Mrs. Evelyn Wilson New
man, 23-year-old Government en-
ploye, whose arrest for contempt of
court was ordered yesterday by JUS
tice Jennings Bailey because she
ignored a District Court order to
surrender her 19-month-old daugh-
ter to her estranged husband, Harry
Scott Newman.
At the United States marshal's
office belief was expressed that the
young mother had left town. 1t was
believed probable that she had gone
to the home of her parents. Mr..
and Mrs. Benjamin Harris Wilson,
in Chester. Pa, where the child is
reported to have been staying for
some time. 1t was added that the
offense was not eXtraditable and
no effort was being made to trace
her outside of the city.
Deputies were told at the General
Accounting Office, where Mrs. New
man is employed, that she had not
been at work for two days. At her
apartment house. 2O32 Belmont road
NV, she was reported to have left
town.
The husband, who is employed at
the Library of Congress, also was
reported away for the week end
Since he and his wife separated,
about a year ago, he has been living
with his parents at 1904 Twenty
seventh street NV.
Justice Bailey cited Mrs. Newman
for contempt when Mr.. Newmans
attorney, Jean M. Boardman, told
the court she had refused to comply
with an order issued by Justice Oscar
R. Luhring last November % award
ing custody of little Joan Carol
Newman toner father. The citation
committed the mother to Jail until
she surrenders the child or until the
further order of the court.
The lawyer told Justice Bailey
that Mr.. Newman exhausted every
means of trying to persuade his wife
to give up the child, but she had
refused declaring she would ignore
the court order. Mrs. Newman's suit
for separate maintenance is pending.

not to count on a wartime boom
for any extensive reduction In un-

However large our new wartime

Municipal Association, there will
still be millions of unemployed in
this country. And we shall still
need a public works program to
provide jobs and wages for the
neediest of them"
The administrator said employ
ment increased by more than a
half million in the last two months.
But, he added, the number of work.
ers for whom new jobs were pro-
vided by the wartime boom fell
short of the number dismissed from

cause they had been on w. P. A.

'Let us also bear in mind" he
said, that next year there will be

Dear Mr.. Reilley:
Just thought that you would
like to knew what an enthus-
iastic ana splendid delegate
your Commercial Club had in
sending H. W. Bunston to the
National Reclamation Associa-
ton convention at Denver re-
Gently.
AS Great Falls was awarded
the 1910 ,leeting, we wish you
to know that your representa-
tive gave Us some mighty Won
derful cooperation for gaining
this convention for Great Falls.
He was a power, too, at all
the preliminary meetings held
on all reclamation and irriga-
ton matters and particularly
on the sugar beet question.
We are already laying plans
for next years convention to
| be a state wide one, rather
! than local and will endeavor to
make this such an affair that
/ it will bring renown to Montana
in a national way.
Mr.. Funston was surely q
capable representative as he
was at the Reno convention
last year. He was particularly
helpful on the Resolutions Com
mittee and his knowledge of the
sugar beet game from every
angle was outstanding.
And again we say we are
mighty glad that your Com
mercial Clue was responsible in
having Mr.. Funston attend this
convention and no doubt ne
has made a full report of what
TRANSFERRED.
Yours cordially,

Extend Commodity
Looms Until April

April 80, 1910, is the matur-
ity date Of loans secured by
wheat in warehouses under an
extension granted by the Com
modify Credit corporation,
George Miller, chairman of the
Big Horn County Agricultural
conservation association, an
nounced today.
This extension will give pro-
ducers an additional period t.
repay such wheat loans, mas
much as the early loans would
begin to mature March l, 1910, .
Mr.. Miller said. All loans Sc
cured by Warehoused wheat
were made to mature seven
months from date, or April 80
1910, whichever was earlier, un-
der the 1889 wheat loan pro-
gram. Commodity Credit cor
poration proposes to take title
to Warehoused wheat held as
collateral if a farmer has not
repaid his note by April 80
1910.
Mr.. Miller also called atten-
ton to the fact that the time
for making wheat loans ex-
pires December 81, 1889. It is
advisable that farmers who are
contemplating making a wheat
loan should begin Immediately,
especially if liens are held
against the wheat, which will
neceSsitate the obtaining of lein
waivers. All loan documents
must be dated on or before De-
cember 81, 1889, and chattel
mortgages filed of record on
or before such date, because
no extension in time for making
loans will be made. Loans sent
directly TO the Commodity
Credit corporation must be
posmarked not later than De-
cember 81, 1889.
