If we expect the British to win, we must send them food as well as airplanes, They need pork and, lard, certain dairy products, such as cheese and dry skim milk and eggs, Also, canned tomatoes and juice.
 Government experts have figured that the food requirements from us for the democracies in the next l6 months will be about 8 or ( per cent of our own food requirements. That's one reason foeo prices are rising. Food prices are affected also by the fact that more persons are now working and have more money to spend for food.
 Tn other words, we need to pro- duce more food in tho United States, if food prices are to remain at reasonable levels, Can we do itp

 We cannot raise more hogs this year, but we con feed the hogs we have more corn and get more pork per hog as result. That means fatter bacon and larger pork chops. But the American house. wives like lean bacon and small pork chops,

 It never is exactly simple for the career girl to go directly from office to cocktail or dinner date looking at fresh, rested and clean as the girl who has been at home all afternoon bathing, doing her face, pressing her clothes and what not.
 During summer f1of1ts the prob- lem Is even more difficult.
 However, 1t Is not c problem which can't be solved. Thou sands do solve it-every day-but only because they are far-sighted and have learned Q few tricks and short cuts to good grooming.
 Among the grooming tricks many career woman employs are:
 Keeping 0 pair of clean stockings Q pair of clean white gloves and Q clean handkerchief in the drawer of her desk.
 Having handy c makeup kit which contains cooling skin To- ton, c bottle of eye.wash, Q de. oderant and Q small bottle oi lightly scented cologne as well as cleansing cream foundation, pow. der, rouge and hand lotion.
 GROOMING TIPS FOR
 WHITE COLLAR GIRL
 The ability to remove clipped or cracked nail polish and replace 1t with Q fresh coat In record time
 The ability to close her eyes, put her head on her arms and re- lax completely for five minutes before putting on fresh makeup.
 In addition, she knows how to brush her hair In such 0 way that excess oil Is removed but the wave isn't.

even the sports page or the funnies of the morning and evening papers.
 No man is quite certain that his wife is capable of entertaining the boss and his wife without a little coaching from him.
 No man can keep his eyes from following a pretty girl as she sways down the street. THINGS TO
 REMEMBER
 No man is ever as cheered up by a wife's whole-hearted approval as by the most cas- ual compliment from any other attractive woman.
 No man trusts his wife when she starts quoting fig ures.
 No man can look. at a hole in a pair of socks he ia about to put on without los- ing his temper.
 The June bride doesn't need to believe these things now--if she'll just remember them when she begins to notice that her husband isn't quite the perfect creature she thought. Then it will help her to know that there's nothing wrong with him, except that he's a husband.

In medieval times, European markets often were located in emeteries. Cemeteries, as well as churches, were plaeS of sanctuary for those seeking refuge in time of war, fire, or famine. Here they were protected from all harm by church law. So many persons lived in cemeteries, as result. that regular market places were established in them.

Postmaster General Frank C.
Walker has submitted his first an
nual report, covering the fiscal year
which ended June 80, 1910. After
declaring that postal revenues for
this period reached an all-time high
of s766 948, ,62674. he says: "Of the
total gross receipts from all sources,
$521,777 278.16, or 68 per cent, was
derived from the sale in post offices
of adhesive postage stamps, postal
cards and stamped envelopes. This
represents a gain of S6,882 318 04
compared with the preceding year
and is the highest amount recorded
since 1881.
There were also sold in post offices
during the year documentary inter-
nal revenue stamps in the amount
of SO 694 ,69831, gain of 10 per cent.
and migratory bird hunting stamps
totaling $1,11l,561, a gain of 10 per
cent.
Adhesive stamps in sheets were
first issued for use in the prepay
ment Of postage in 1847 and con-
tinued in this form exclusively un-
til 1900 when books of stamps were
made available for the greater con-
venience of the public. Stamps in
coils were first issued in 1903 for
use in vending and affixing ma
chimes.
For long period of years, post
age stamps were provided under
private contract. On July l, 1894,
the manufacture of stamps was
transferred to the Bureau of En-
craving and Printing, Treasury De-
partment, under mutual agree
ment between the Secretary of the
Treasury and the Postmaster Cen
eral This arrangement has con-
tinued to date. the prices being reg
ulated on a yearly basis TO conform
to the cost of production.
1T has been a long established
policy of the department to print
special issues of postage stamps TO
commemora anniversaries of i'm
portant events in American history
In conformance Herewith. stamps
of special design were authorized
during the year for the 25th anni-
versary of the Panama Canal: the
Booth anniversary of printing in
Colonial America: for the 5Oth an
niversary of the admission to state
hood of Montana, North and South
Dakota and Washington: the 80th
anniversary Of the pony express and
the 50th anniversary of the founding
of the n-American Union.
In addition to the above, spe-
cial series of stamps was authorized
in honor of outstanding Americans
who achieved distinction in the arts
and sciences.
The sale of postage stamps for
collection use through the Philatelic
Agency and post Offices represents a
profitable source of postal revenue
since the major part of the stamps
so sold are withdrawn permanently
from postage use. No records are
available as to the total amount of
such receipts at post Offices. but such
sales at the Philatelic Agency dur
ing the year amounted to s1,l00.-
67O29. the larger part of which rep
resents mail orders from collectors
in all parts of the United States and
foreign countries.
The remarkable increase in pub
lie interest in stamp collecting in
recent years is held to be due in no
small measure to the operation Of

In Local Bridge Circles
BY Frank B. Lord

Bridge players throughout the
country have been specializing over
the apparent retirement of their
hero and leader, Ely Culbertson
Mr.. Culbertson had meteoric career
beginning some y or more years
ago, during which he promoted
what came to be Americas popular
pastime, and he himself became its
recognized authority.
For the past three or four years,
however. he has been more or less
in eclipse and has refrained from
taking part in any activities of the
various bridge organizations. Many
have thought that perhaps he
feared an anti-climax and had de-
cided to rest upon the laurels he had
won and enjoy the comfortable for
tune he is said to have amaSsed
from his bridge propaganda.
1t is true that Mr. Culbertson has
not been in robust health, and a part
of his time has been occupied with
his divorce, in writing his colorful
autobiography and in puttering in
politics, which, next to bridge, has
been his favorite hobby.
1t now develops that he has not
been idle from bridge in his self
imposed retirement. Instead, he has
been working on and produced an
entirely new system, particularly OF
bidding It is said to override and
set aside many of the principles and
theories set forth in his current
series of publications.
The announcement says that the
forthcoming system embraces "a
new honor trick table: reduced
strength for biddable suits; lighter
requirements for opening bids; the
experts true method Of hand val
uation formulated in the honor
trick table; changes in trump sup
port requirements; new rules for no.
trump bids; new meanings of take
out and penalty doubles; new the
ories of keeping the bidding open;
new key for forcing two bids;
changes in responses to forcing two
bids and new emphasis on sacrifice
bidding"
All of these are to be explained and
elaborated upon at his two scheduled
bridge conventions, one to be held
in New York, January "a, Is and 26,
and the other in Chicago, January
Al and February l and 2, They are
being awaited anxiouSly by vast
number of Mr.. Culbertson's fol-
lowers.
The aftermath of the fourth an
nual tournament of Northern Vr-
vinia held last week at the George
Mason Hotel in Alexandra has
found the Washington and Baltl-
more players in friendly dispute as
TO which group should be accredited
with the greater honors in the sew
eral events. Between them they
took all of the major trophies. but
the Virginians, especially those from
Arlington, acquitted themselves we'll
in winning third and fourth places
In most of the contests.
The final match in the three
game playoff of the Federal Bridge
was held at the Wardman Park
Hotel Tuesday evening. The con-
test in the first section ended in a
tie between the Stays and the w
p. A. team. Each of the two four
somes won 38la games and lost
33la for a percentage of .534. In
the second section, the Redskins
