BY MARIAN YOUNG

NEA Service Stan Correspondent
 New Homework becomes, if not actually fun, then at least not 8 hateful chore, to the youngster who receives 8 perfect home study corner as 8 back-to-school present.
 Furthermore, experts agree that the child who has properly equipped desk in quiet spot in the house will do better home work than one who studies in the living room amid family ddscus- sions and activities.
 Decorators usually suggest put ting small desk in the child'S own bedroom as soon as he starts to school. Authorities on chil- dren's games, toys and hobbies recommend g. combination desk and drawing board until the child begins his third year of school, then regular desk.
 COMBINATION DESKS
 FOR LITTLE FOLK
 One of the incest of these conn., binationS includes a roller bearing pictures to be colored, multiplica- tion tables and simple maps as well as desk space.
 Another desk, made by the same toy firm, is miniature of office typewriter desks. Incidentally, there are small typewriters on which the young student may do his compositions.
 Also new for little girls are school bags in gay Scotch plaids and pretty pastels. For boys, sturdy cowl1ide bags are most popular. Pencil cases have as many as five drawers filled to overfiowing with pens, erasers, colored crayonS and monogram med pencils. For a little tot, special wood case contains about forty pencils in different shapes, sizes and colors.
 Other items to make the home study corner interesting and i1- spring are electric geographical globes. One has an atlas on a stand beneath the globe. 1 MAPS ARE GRAND

 o. In contract bridge is it best for Declarer to lead trumps as soon as he gets the lead?
 A. In general 1t is best to exhaust the opponents trumps as soon as possible, unless you wish to use the trumps for ruffing, or unless by leading trumps you allow the op- ponents to get into the lead before you have a chance to discard losers on an established suit.
 o. Please give directions for laundering colored silks.
 A. The studs should be very heavy and not warmer than luke warm. Do not rub hard, as the fibers may be broken or the gloss dulled Careful squeezing, or abusing in the suds, is better than rubbing. Avoid strong soap and washing powders and do not twist the fabric to wiring out the sudS. Rinse thoroughly ir water of the same temperature, and dry by squeezing and batting be- tween dry towels or heavy cloths A final rinse in bath containing one-half ounce of 36 per cent acetic acid to 8 gallon of water tends tc increase the luster.

 War Conditions
 In a brief discussion on condl- tions and in answer to questions by members of the local club. the colonel revealed number of interesting points bearing on the European war situation as view ed in the States. American-made planes in service of the British, he said are eminently successful in meeting Nazi planes. America he said is learning much from ob serving the experiences of others in the war and prOfiting there. Among improvements to Amerl- can planes are leak-proof tanks and armor. Opinion of well infor med obs ervers, he said is that there is now only one possible outcome of the war. British in- dustry while not having the ad- vantage of mass production such as exists in the States said the speaker is spread over such a wide area in tn British Isles and the population so large that her industry is not seriously ip paired. The streak of bulldog ir the British has preserved her mar7le under very trying circum stances.

Old Louisiana Records
Tell of Cursed Tomb

NEW ORLEANS.-The story of a
$4,000 tomb which supposedly
brought death to its creators has
been unearthed here.
Lawrence Zarilli, professor of
Latin at Fortier high school who is
writing a history of Italians in Lou
isiana, has discovered the story in
records of the Muttuo Benefcenza
Mutual Benefit) society.
Zarilli says that l. T. Barilli, q
charter member of the Muttuo
Benefcenza, "the oldest Italian soci-
ETY. in the New World" conceived
the idea for the tomb. Piero
Gualdi, of Tuscany, was commits
stoned to design it, number each
block of stone and send the specifica-
tions for its erection to New Orleans
along with the materials.
But somehow the specifications
were lost in transit and the society
sent for Gualdi to come here to
erect the mausoleum in the old St.
Louis Cemetery No. l.
Gualdi hardly had completed the
job when he died and he was the
first person buried in the tomb.
A short time later Barilli died and
he was the second to be buried in
the tomb.
These condolences resulted in a
local superstition concerning the
tomb-that it called into death those
connected with its creation,
