TO LONG DISTANCE
TELEPHONE USERS
Never before in history have
our long distance switch
boards been so busy. Long
distance calls this year have
already far exceeded 1940's
record-breaking average. and
the volume grows greater
every day.
Industries with vital de-
Tense orders and booming
Army and Navy posts are re-
lying heavily on long dis
tance service. In addition.
calls from the general public
have increased by leapsssnd
bounds.
Despite our aaIl-out" eff
fort to meet these rapidly
expanding demands, our la
ciiifies are at times operated
at near capacity. Occasional
delays may be expected on
some long distance calls.
Hold the line please"
service is not always ppes-
si-le.
TO relieve fhe situation
we are engaged in an expsn-
sion program costing mil
lions of dollars. Many shou-
sands Of miles OF new long
distance circuits have been
placed in operation this
year, and more are on the
way. Additions TO many
switchboaFds have been in
stalled. Others are being SET
up as FAST as they can be Sc
cured and our men can place
them in operation.
But manufacture and in
stallation Of telephone
equipment takes time. and
defense priorities are max
ing il increasingly difficult
TO secure essentialmatesiais.
Long distance telephone
users can do their part in
This present emergency by
avoiding as much as possible
placing calls during the peak
lone distance hours of 9 10
TT am. and 7 70 $50 pm.
The understanding and
cooperation OF those we
serve will be most helpful
and will be genuinely APP
preciated.

 Most versatile coif was the drum n1er boy" for short hair. Most ot the hair-dos were done with locks as short as three or four Inches. But most employed extra, artificial hair in braids or buns or beauti- fully gold-laced loops, for evening. The drummer boy" was done with Q novel thiInble-ctirl.
 This thimble-curl cuts down the use of hairpins, made of defense needed wire. Naturally curly hair or permanently waved hair is set, here, with e plastic "thimble" on the hairdresser's finger. These "thimbles," being variously shaped, afford a curl as big and soft as you please, or as tiny.
 In the drummer boy" the ctrls are loose, fly-away. They fall into place literally at comb.flick. For evening, this hair-do can be sleek. You just brush the short locks on the crown of the head into a flat swirl, held by 8 gold pin.

Heart Contract As Trumps Break Badly

VI dSb fAS LullPS DAVthA 4SesAAS liss confidently states she already has received a pledge of 70 teams, which means she ought to break the record easily.
 Last years winners, Mrs. Helen Levy of Newark, N. J.: Mrs. Wil- kinson Wagar of Atlanta, Ga, Mrs. Adelaide Neuwlrth and Mrs. Lottie Zetosch of New York. will be on hand to defend their title.
 Here Is an interesting situation that came up in last years con- test. Mrs. Wager, playing the South hand, won the opening lead with the club ace and laid down the ace Of trumps. When East showed out declarer knew she must avoid the loss of spade to make her con- tract.
 Mrs. Wager continued with the king of trumps and then began to eliminate the diamonds by leading to dummys ace and ruffing the re- turn. Dummy was put in with a club for another diamond ruff and again with the ace of spades for a final diamond ruff.
 Now Mrs. Wager led her last club and West tried to avoid the end play by discarding instead of ruff ing. But Dummy ruffed and re- turned the last trump, forcing West to lead spades up to South's ten. ace.

Women Doctors To See Selves

According to present plans, the first audience to witness the antics of Barbara stanwyck and Henry Fonda in Wesley Ruggles' You Be- long to Me- produced at Columbia will be composed exclusively Of wo- man doctors.
 "You Belong to Me" Is a modern story of a comedy woman physician, played by Miss Stanwyck, and her very wealthy playboy husband en- acted by Fonda. The theme of the comedy is woven about the hus- bands jealous rages arounsed by his wife's handsome male patients.
 Because of the unusual comedy situations wrung from the profess sion of women doctors, Columbia executives are desirous of first ob. taining the reactions of professional women viewing the picture before general release.

 MASCULINE VS.
 FEMININE LOGIC
 Maybe there's logic to their req. soning. At least the men conlmerlt- ing on the proposed move to relieve soldiers of domestic" duties all seem to think so.
 But 1t is purely masculine logic How many mothers of families use the same logic to argue that the job of motherhood (which certainly iS as important as the job of soldier ing) is too important for the mother to be wasting her time on doing l1ousework and catering to the physi- cal comfort of a growing man? Not many.
 Women still aren't logical" enough to reason that they can't afford to do any job that doesn't seem worthy of their ability and talents.
