West opened the singleton ace OF
spades, then shifted to the ten OF
diamonds. And here South made
the very persuasive error of play
ing dummys low diamond. East
took the diamond king, cashed the
club ace, then returned low spade
to let West ruff with the deuce OF
hearts.
West had avoided signaling with
club honor and was thus able to
Law down three top clubs in sue
cession. East discarded his three
diamonds, while South followed suit
twice and ruffed the last club with
the four of trump. South then led
the queen of hearts.
BY this time West had counted
out the entire hand. He knew his
partner had the heart ace since
otherwise he could not have opened
the bidding. Hence, West ducked
and let East win the first round of
trump with the ace. East returned
the queen of spades. South ruffed
with the jack and West refused to
overruff.
South next led the ten of hearts
and West won with the king. Then
he led diamond, East rufflng with
his last trump. East's spade return
made it possible for West to win
trick with the seven of trump! The
defense thus gathered in 10 tricks,
collecting penalty of 900 points!

Gasoline Shortage
 Curtails Allowing"
AutOists May Observe Results of Declining Taxes in
 Appearance of Grass Strips Along Highways
(NEA Cablephoto)

lines, center strips in parkways and express highways are still moved fer the entire width. This is done with some frequency since the Bureau of Roadside Development of the High way Department has determined that it is less expensive to repeat moving while the grass is compara- lively short than to moW infrequent- ly and carry away the long hay.
 While the full effect of the sav- irgs cannot be computed at this time they are expected to go a sub- stantial way toward helping meet the problem created by reduced car operation. Automatic traffic re- CO., ders of the Highway Department in 21 locations selected to give an average picture of the traffic vol ume reveal the July vehicle count to be Al per cent lower than for the corresponding period last year.
 This traffic drop coupled with the known reduction in gasoline con- sumption due to rationing is talk en to indicate not only sharp fall- ing off in gasoline tax receipts, but of other motor vehicle tax income as well. The moving reduction is one method of anticipating this loss in the principal source of State Highway Department funds.

 The necessity for local exhaust ventilation to combat the dust prob- lem in all dry grinding, polishing, and buffing operation is stressed. Testing of exhaust systems to check the effective removal of dust is said to be quite as important as correct installation.
 Investigation by the Women's Bureau of occupations suitable for women in the war production of 1941-42 revealed that in metal plants with good dust collection methods and adequate protection from in- jury the occupations of grinding, polishing, ana hUffinc may be ciassed among the most desirable jobs for Womcn.

Induction Station
 damned By Recruits

The second half of Waterbury's August draft quota, largest yet list ed here, went to Hartofrd this morn ing for examinations by army doc- tors. The number that went yes terday was so great that facilities at the induction station were over taxed.
 Members of yesterdays group stated that the induction station was literally damned with men. The crowd was so great that prom iseG meal was not forthcoming; in- stead the men had to be satisfied with sandwiches and apples. Extra coaches were added to a Waterbury, bound train to send the men last night.
 Those passed by doctors yester- day were immediately sworn into the army, but were given furloughs of two weeks to complete their per sonal affairs. At the end of two weeks they leave here to begin their military training.
 With today's group even larger than yesterday, it was hoped that adequate arrangements to handle

Hartford, Aug. 19.-Indirectly, the gasoline and tire situation is mak- ing itself felt, in the grass strips along each side of every state high way. The amount of moving on roadsides has been curtailed sharp ly in the interest of fund conserva- tion, State Highway Commissioner William J. Cox said today.
 He pointed out that the reduction does not impair the fire protection value of the moved area, nor does 1t seriously reduce the good appear ance of the roadTides.
 The program now in operation calls for moving of one mower blade stroke, strip between five and six feet wide. In former years moW- ing has covered almost all of the unpaved area of the right of way controlled by the Highway Depart ment. The practical effect of the elder method was to clear the en- tire area between highway pavement and the fences, walls or edges of adjacent well kept fields. Now the moved area extends from the paved road for not over six feet.
 Because of the effect upon sight

POLICEMAN DIED,
 so DID HIS KILLER
Three Bullets Struck Offi= cer, Five Hit Negro Who
 Attacked Him

Elyria, O., Aug. 19.-UP)-The policeman merely wanted to ques- ton the motorist involved in a traf- fic miShap.
 The motorist greeted him with three bullets. The policeman fired five and both were killed.
 Then, in the trunk of the motor ist's car, other policemen found the nude body of a murdered woman.
 That was the start of last nights murder mystery which was quickly solved by the finger print records of the Cleveland police department
 The motorist was identified as Nathaniel Spruiel, 05, negro, noto- rious in Cleveland as an operator of disorderly houses. He was re- gently convicted of contributing tc She delinquency of adolescent girls
 The woman was identified as Doris Mcconnell 28, white, who was arrested June 10 and charged with being an inmate of one of SpruiepS houses. Her body showed that she had been beaten. She had died o1 fractured skull.
 The murder came in the midst oi a federal drive to clean up vice con- ditions in Cleveland and other Ohio towns. The federal grand jury in Cleveland indicted seven per. sons yesterday on charge of oper- ating a white slave ring which Fed. eral District Attorney Don c. Miller said was "one of the biggest in tht history of the country"
 Miller charged that many girll ylctimized by the ring were kept ir subjugation with frequent beatings Most of them, he said, were around i3 years old.

MAY
 GET BIG CHANGE

Washington, August 19. - CUP) - The war manpower commission, seeking tighter control over man. power resources, wants the Army and Navy to stop all voluntary re- cruiting, it was learned today.
 Chairman Paul V. McNutt has or soon will ask President Roosevelt to so order and turn total responsi- bility for procurement of fighting men over to the Selective Service system, it was understood
 Competent sources said this ac- tion almost certainly would be ac- companied by a request to congress that the minimum draft age be lowered from 20 to 18 years.

Protective measures for workers sn war plants go a long way in preventing accident hazards and health problems such as oil der fnatitis and effects Of metallic dust, according to a bulletin released to- day by the Women's Bureau, U. g. Department of Labor.
 Entitled Hazard to Women Em- ployed in War Plants on Abrasive wheel Jobs," the bulletin urges that employers be required to show that they maintain healthful conditions of employment before they employ women on grinding, polishing, and buffing operations. Women have special health and safety problems, the report reveals.
 Long and loose hair as worn by some women workers is considered a definite accident hazard. The bulletin recommends that suitable headwear, covering all the hair, but standing up from the head so that machinery cannot catch in the cap and then in the hair, should be provided and it's wearing en- forced.
 While dangers from cuts, abrasions, flying particles, broken wheels and repetitive motion are no more serious for women than for men, 1t is pointed out that com pensation (based on wages) tends to be less for women than that paid for injury of similar severity to a man, because the wages of women are generally lower.
 Protective hoods for abrasive wheels operating at high speed are advocated. Finger guards and goggles are said to offer excellent protection from accidents on all grinding operations. Rest periods and good-posture seats should be provided, the bulletin states.
 oil used in wet grinding may cause dermatitis, particularly of the hands, arms and thighs. Some authorities say that women are es- pecially susceptible to such infec- lions because their skin is tender.
 Ointments such as lanolln and castor oil form a protective coat ing when rubbed into the skin be-
