West led a trump and South con-
aidered his problems. One way
to make the contract would be to
discard a spade on the ace OF
diamonds. lead a spade from dummy
and guess whether to play the king
or lack. and play for a 3-3 split
In clubs. If the loss could be held
to one spade and two clubs, the
contract would be made.
The trouble with that line OF
play was that South had to guess
the right spade play--and perhaps
no guess could help him tas was the
case. Furthermore, he was de-
pendent on 3-3 club break TO lose
only two club tricks tunleSs he
managed to drop an honor on the
club ace. The chance was all too
f1imsy. so South chose TO try
swindle.
He won the first trick with the
queen of hearts and returned a
low heart from the dummy-thus
leaving the dummy without any way
of getting back TO the diamond ace!
South then ran four more trumps.
and West was a very unhappy
bridge PLAYER He didn't dream that
South had exited from dummy with
out a diamond in his hand. so he
had to hold all his diamonds; his
spades were also too valuable to
discard. so he had to part with two
low clubs.
Thereupon South banged down
the ace and another club. setting
the rest of his suit. East had TO

Where hospital facilities are

Ethyl chloride produces a frost
and sometimes results in frost bite
if used too intenslvcly. To prevent
this, camphor linlmcnt or other
counter-lrritants may be advised.
Usually one treatment with ethyl
chloride is sufficient, as improve

Speaking
Of Home
and Career

Should wives work? Is a
woman's place in the home?
Which is more important, husband
or career? Can home making
alone satisfy the modern grip
It's the same old question. It's
been asked dozens of times in
dozens of ways-and there has
always been an unlimited variety
OF answers. We certainly don't
expect to settle the debate here.
but we do have some mighty in
teresting viewpoints to present.
Here, for instance, is a young
wife who believes it's wrong for
any woman TO permit home-mak
ing to stifle her talents. MRS.
JOHN WALLER of ALBUQUER-
QUE. NEW MEXICO speaking:
II believe / is everyOne's duty
to make as nue.. of his life as
possible. II a girl has special
talents. she has no right TO neg
lect them in favor of home max
ing.
"A girl has more to offer her
husband and family il she has
some real career outside her home.
The average American girl is ply
sically and mentally capable of
managing a happy home and pur-
suing career at the same time.
She Is smart enough to use her
career to help make her home,
rather than let 1t hinder her.
"She Is a better companion to
her husband because she keeps
mentally alert. She Is in constant
contact with other intelligent and
stimulating people. Her PERSONAL
ity has a chance to develop-she
will never become commonplace,
dull and unintcresting.
ANY girl who is able to keep
up her home and career at the
same time will not in any way
neglect her children. because she
realizes the necessity of proper
training and will arrange her time
and energies so that her children
will have the benefit Of her guild
ance."

An Exacfing Career

But II. the Young America mail
bag is any barometer. most of the
men prefer to keep their women
in the home. FRANK BARSO-
PITY of YOUNGSTOWN, PA, ex-
presses this preference with I'M
mistakable vehemence.
II most certainly disagree with
the so-called modern view that
home making alone cannot satisfy
a modern girl. This is a base libel
on all intelligent, resourceful wives
and mothers!
IF she Is happily married and
the family does not need her
earnings. a woman would be crazy,
in my opinion. to &C. in for a career.
To be a good wife and mother Is a
full time job, one requiring every
thing woman can give to IL.
III her creative ability Is
usurped by a career. what kind of
upbringing will her children have?
What kind Of helpmate can such
wife be to her husband?
although the liars say they
don't. a man leans on his wife in
many ways; for moral support and
uplift when things go wrong: for
renewed courage to keep on in this
tough world: for the comforting
assurance that he is the smartest
guy in the world leven IL he is a
dope.
Home making in itself is an
exciting and exacting career. one
calling for all the quaIificati tons of
an executive, teacher. confessor.
psychologist, lawyer, doctor. nurse
