 The three of spades opening gave the declarer a reading of the spade distribution. So he won the first trick with the ace of spades, ruffed a small spade, got back into his hand with the ace of diamonds and rufYed another spade.
 Now a diamond was ruffed and the last spade ruffed in dummy. The queen of clubs was won by West with king, and now regardless of what West returned, all his side could cash were the ace and king of hearts.

High Significance

This fact invests the current
widespread battle for wage
boosts with illimitable signifi-
Al 4 ny sei4eeiieoy- can aD-
prehend that if the wage level
scars, the cost of making things
must also soar and that every
family in the land would have to
pay more to live.
Commissioner Of Commerce
George A. Sloan of New York
City aptly points out:
As prices rise, dollar in
wages is worth less because it
will buy less. Every dollar in a
savings bank, in a life insurance
policy, in IA government savings
bond, or in a government postal
savings certificate, is worth less
because il will buy less.
Salaries of government en-
ployes, of teachers, old age pen
sions and unemployment insur-
ance payments, are likewise
worth less because a dollar will
buy less, and such payments,
being customary or fixed by law,
remain behind a rising cost of
living"
For my part. I am hopeful that
the price problem will be handled
with moderation by Washington
and business alike.

Priority Peril

What test should the public
apply TO those who are in con-
troll at Washington. including
the hundred-and-forty dollar-a-
year men in the Office of Pro-
duction Management and the
heads of the new office of price
administration.
The supreme objective of
those in command at Washing
ton should be; maximum defense
production with a minimum of
dislocation OF our peacetlme
economy, our normal buying and
selling, our regular mode of life.
In face of the appalling cost
of preparedness, it is cardlnally
essential that nothing avoidabfe
be done to interfere with the
functioning of private enter
prise. the earning of reasonable

Volume Scars

CHICAGO, April Is. Indica-
tons that the Easter period
reached a high point in retail sales
volume are plainly evident from
the fact that the volume of display
advertising placed by retailers in
SO major cities during the week
ended March % was 1874 per cent
greater than during the corre-
spending week of 1910, according
to Advertising Age.
The volume bears distinct re-
lation to the state of retail trade in
a community, Advertising Age
says, and the tremendous upsurge
for the last week in March is a
definite indication that Easter and
Spring retail business will hit a
peak higher than that of any re-
cent year.
A total Of % .36S,410 lines of ad-
vertlsing appeared in the news
papers during the week, compared
with 1SS90.204 lines in the same
cities during the week ended
March 30, 1910.
For the 13-week period since the
beginning of the year, retail adver-
Using totaled 246.537. 093 lines, an
increase of 81 per cent over the
corresponding period of last year,
when 24l, 486,4 S6 lines were pub
lshed.
