Of losing a trick by such a lead is

lead operates to force out declarer's

There is a tendency on the part
Of experienced players to classify
many other possible leads as either
desirable or unfavorable. Some of
these other possibilities are illus
trated by the West hand today.
West knows from the bidding

Greater Use Of Women Workers In Artillery
Ammunition Plants Seen By Labor Chief
Employment
Extension Is
Also Forecast

WASHINGTON, d. C-(SNS)
"A greater proportion of women
in artillery ammunition plants and
the extension of their employment
| to additional types of jobs waA
predicted by Miss Mary Anderson,
director of the Women's Bureau,
U. S. Department of Labor, in re-
leasing report entitled "Women's
Employment in Artillery Ammuni-
ton Plants, 1912"
The report, based on a Nation.
wide field survey by agents of ths
Women's Bureau, concerns occu-
pations, training, working condl-
tons, and plans for future utiliza-
ton OF women workers in the
loading of ammunition.
The ammunition industry is al.
ready the largest woman employer
of the major war industries. Of
ficials in ten of the plants survey
ed said that women will constitute
about two-thirds or more of their
labor force. The report forecasts
proportion Of women in artillery
ammunition bag-loading plants
ranging as high as 70 percent. A
much greater expansion of wom-
ems jobs is also said to be feasible
on lines loading shells, particular
ly on the small sizes.
WOMEN SEW BAGS
In all bag-loading plants women
sewed, trimmed, counted and in
spected powder bags. More wom-
en- could be used in loading opera
lions. particularly in handling
black powder, since their work thus
far has been confined for the most
part to the less hazardous smoke
less powder.
Women were employed in she'll
loading plants, generally on lines
handling 20, 81, and Comm. size
shells The type of work women did
varied considerably from plant to
plant, indicating that the proper
ton of women could be greatly in
creased in some operations. In one
plant, for instance, women SCOOP
ed powdered INT into cups, weigh
ed, check-weighed, and poured it
into Comm. shells, while in an
other plant only men were en-
ployed on such operations In load
ing the same size shells. It is
thought by certain plant officials
that some women could be used
successfully in loading 75-mm., 1O5-
mm., or larger shells with men to
do the heavy lifting.
HELP LOAD AND PACK
Women were widely employed in
loading, assembling, inspecting, and
packing cornponents. They were en-
gagged, for example, in loading per-
cussion elements for primers and IL
operations for loading detonators
They worked on many operations in
assembling components such as
fuses, primers, and boosters In
checking dimensions and weights
women used micrometers, cages,
and scales, and also operated arm
ing machines to test whether fuses
will operate when revolving at 9
certain number of revolutions per
minute.

Suggestions
For Those
Busy Women
BY HELEN JAMESON
distributed by King Features

No matter what the state of this
mad world may be, nc woman car
afford to go to seed. She mustn't
slack up. Appearance has much
to do with spirit and morale. We
must pay mere than usual at.
tenticn to health habits.
1t is the way Of woman to wall
about the time it takes to fight
the old gentleman with the scytha
and the long white whiskers. he
whose aim seems to be to put sill
Yer threads in her hair, crisscross
lines around her eyes. Yet many
women keep him at bay, lose few
precious moments. Keeping fit
and looking fit are builders of self
respect. 1t isn't vanity that
makes woman tint her lips. ar
range her hair beautifully, wear
becoming clothes. She does that
for the sake of her soul and the
approval of her family. Daddy
and the kids have a right 10 ex-
pect mama to look tip-top. They
want to be pround of her. She
must not fail them
SPARE HALF HOUR
Every woman. be she wage earn
er or boss of the domestic works,
can spare a half hour at bedtime
Tor the brief attentions that are
necessary to keep her within finger
touch other youth. If she does
these chores she will be conscience
free, and the results will be price
less.
1T is next to impossible for
busy woman to have leiSurely
bath in the morning. If she is
career girl she must scuttle off
to the job. If she is the mistress
of the home, there will be the get
ting off of the old man to his
work. the children to school, all of
them asking where is this and
where is that. But at bedtime one
can rest in the warm water, bet
the WEAKNESS out of ones bones,
relax muscles and mind.
So then, you hustlers: put on
your shower cap. cream your face.
Use light cream for this purpose.
Don't remove it. The enr 0llient
combined with the warm, moist
air of the bath room will refresh
your skin, give it smoothness and
good texture.
USE HEAVY BRUSH
When bathing, use a heavy
brush; it is the only means of re-
moving dead skin scales that are
ever present. It makes the flesh
tingle, showing that it is enliven-
ing the blood streams.
A pleasant finish is the alternat-
ing hot and cold shower, a brisk
rundown with a bath tonic.
So far, so good. Remove the
cream, massage with heavier
cream. Tap and hammer with the
finger tips. Let the cosmetic stay
on overnight.
Off with the shower cap. Brush
your hair, have a. five minute
scalp friction. Apply hand 10
ton. touch the finger nails with
cuticle cream? Say PRAYERS; go to
bed. Breathe deeply for five or
ten minutes. Good night. Sweet
dreams.

The other evening at a party, a

that girls in rough working cloth

losing their womanly charms and
fenlininity. The attitude was
obviously hangover from a

change that time has wrought in
popular thinking.
