This caused CONSERVATION by
United States Army big-wigs and
efforts were quietly made to sell the
British on the idea of keeping the
Negro in his place."
White United States officers CO.
operated by placing pubs and res
taurants "out of bounds for Negro
troops" BUT the British public
did not cooperate with the i'm
ported "Dixie" brand of democracy
and practically ignored the sug-
gestion that Negro troops be denied
the same treatment given other
American troops. Interest of Brit
ishers, men and women, in max
ing Negro troops welcome and hap
py increased rather than dimin-
ished.
In reporting the airing of the
matter in the Commons, Associated
Press dispatches said Tuesday:
Churchill told one member that
his charge of discrimination
against Negro troops" of the
United States army in Britain was
unfortunate. The prime minister
assured another member that har-
mony in Allied war planning is
"our constant aim and there GER
tainly is no lack of machinery to
achieve it."
The question was raised by
T. o. M. Driberg, who implied
the alleged discrimination was
introduced by the Americans
themselves.
Replying, Churchill said: 81 am
hopeful that without any action
on my part the points of view of
all concerned will be mutually I'M
derstood and respected"
Driberg then argued that it was
wiser to air the problem of dis
elimination and Laborite Emanuel
Shinwell commented that Brendan
Bracken, minister Of information,
publicly had opposed discrimina-
ton.
'This is not the point of
merit" Churchill replied to
Shinwell. ut was on a point
of representation being made"
Driberg, an independent, who
writes a column in the Daily Ex-
press under the name of William
Hickey, brought the matter up
with a request to Churchill to
make friendly representations to
American authorities asking them
to instruct their men that the color
bar is not the custom in Britain
and that its non-observance by the
British should "be regarded with
equanimity."
William GALLAGHER, only Commu-
mist member of Commons, joined
the discussion, saying that he had
received a copy of a letter sent to
Churchill by a number of soldiers
stating an officer had given them
a lecture advising them of the
necessity of discrimination in con-
nection with Negroes in London"
The Commons discussion followed

Mr.. Randolph decried the placing
of the Presidents Committee of
Fair Employment Practices under

by Paul V. McNutt.
1t was the speakers opinion that
McNutt had Presidential ambitions
and that he would have to look to
the Democratic South for much
support. This would make it i'm
possible, the leader intimated, for
the F.E.P.C. under McNutt to fun

He called on Negroes to utilize

groups in pressing their interests.

In the Kuban region of the eau

of the year they wear woolens

Intelligence Versus Ignorance, Mis-
information and Credulity
The outcome of the struggle for
freedom from the constipation habit
depends upon the victims intelli-
gence as opposed to. his ignorance,
misinformation and credulity.
Although emotions have great in
fiuence upon the motor functions or
movements of stomach and bowels,
the conscious will have no influence
at all upon these organs or their
functions.
If any psychology is involved in
the breaking of the constipation
habit it is the simplest kind of psy-
chology, which every healthy indi-
vidual practices without any instruc-
tion-or prehaps we should say
every healthy individual without
any instruction practices-and that
lis, keep your mind off from your
bowels.
But this is exceedingly difficult
for most victims of the habit to do.
They have been trained all their
lives to keep their minds constant
ly on their bowels. They have been
thoroughly and Systematically mis-
informed concerning the regulation
of the bowels and never taught the
truth, never given a fair break in
physiology If indeed, they have
ever been taught anything that can
be dignified by the name of physi-
ology. In their state of misinforma-
ton and credulity they are much
worse off than the most primitive
human being who is wholly ignor-
ant of how the body works. And
so, as am well aware, the physic
addict suspects doctor is crazy if
the doctor advises him to keep his
mind off from his bowels, and the
addict with the mucous COLTS OBJ
session is sure of it.
If you want to break bad habit
you must first recognize or &C
knowledge. that it is a habit, no mat
vel whether it be alcoholism, as
pirinism, acetanilidism or consti-
patton. It is silly to try to break
the liquor habit with beer, wine or
liquor. 1t is as silly to try to break
the physic habit enemas, mineral
oil or glorified birdseed. Until you
get it thoroughly fixed in mind that
constipation is a bad habit and not
an ailment, or disease, it is useless
to try to correct it at all.
I was going to say constipation
is not an ailment, weakness or dis
ease, but in all fairness I must con-
cede that a weakness, as you might
say, is factor of the habit in many
If not most cases. Well deal with
the weakness in a later talk.
Somewhere in the booklet "The
Constipation Habit and Colon Hy-
giene" (for copy send ten cents and
stamped envelope bearing your ad-
dress) I promise success in break
ing the habit on condition that the
victim swear off from all artificial
lads" and then hold out for five
days. dent know just how I word
the promise-it is intolerable to me
to scan my own stuff in search of
such an item-but evidently I do
not feature it, for I do not want to
brighten off the poor geek with the
habit.
The very thought of going for
more than 48 hours without an
evacuation is terrifying to the mis-
informed, and, going for five whole
days! Preposterous
Later we'll hear the testimony of
a few readers who have broken the
habit. They found it pays to wait
for Nature.

The war does not seem to have
put a damper on the interest in
tournament bridge. On the con-
trary, interest appears to be strong
er than ever. Committees are plan
ming contests to be given for the
benefit of the Red Cross and other
war activities.
One feature of tournament bridge
that makes it doubly interesting is
that you never need wonder wheth-
er or not you made the right play
on hand. You can always COM
pare your results on a hand with
the results obtained by the other
players in the same tournament.
For instance it might have
seemed obvious to the declarer on
today's hand that the club finesse
should be taken, but after discuss
ing the situation with the other
contestants, he found that another
line of play would have been much
better.
When the queen of clubs was
played on the first-trick, the king
won and the suit was continued,
forcing the ace. Now the declarer
correctly developed the spades, but
could not win enough tricks. The
defenders, with three clubs and the
king of spades, simply waited for
fifth trick to come their way. The
clubs coampelled discards from the
North and South hands that killed
any hope of squeeze.
The correct play is to put up
the ace of clubs at once. If the
queen is a stopper, it can be re-
served until later. 1t is vital to
force out the king of spades in a
hurry. Remember that the defen-
ders, cannot then run a club suit
unless both kings are offside.-with
the spade king held by West and
the club king by East.
But the fact is that when East
is forced in with the king of spades,
the ace is laid down and finesse
taken against the jack-then he is
in trouble. If he leads clubs, he
gives the declarer the ninth trick
at once.
But mere exit, say in hearts,
is also hopeless. The declarer the

If you value your youthful, elastic
skin-exercise. If you do not, you're
sure to see that dull, slightly gray
ish cast on your face. 1t will lack
tone.
And adequately daily exercise. as
entirely too few women realize,
needn't ccmplicate your life or
take up great deal of time. The
girl who resolves to do few
simple routines for six or seven
minutes every single morning, in
fact, will be in much better phys
ical condition at 40, and hence
better looking, than one who
does half an hour or more of eX-
ercise whenever the spirit moves
her.
So get into some group which has
defense-related physical fitness
program or decide on four or
five exercises which will keep the
muscles of your arms, legs, stom-
ach, neck and back firm and sup
pie, and do these regularly. sus-
pcCt, Ill 1dCI, UIldI many WOIHeH
who get started in classes and
groups will do more exercising in
their own rooms too - much to
their benefit. If each conditioning
exercise is repeated five times
daily, the chances are your skin
never will take on an unhealthy
looking, grayish tint.
STIMULATE
CIRCULATION
To stimulate circulation further,
use coarse, rough bath towels and,
after bathing, rub the skin so vigor-
ously that in turns pink. This is
important-both for the exercise in
volved and for the stimulation to
the circulation.
Remember, too, that a diet con-
sisting mainly of pastries and
sauces, starches and sweets, is not
conducive to lovely skin. The
truly beauty-Wise woman eats
four kinds of fooc-meat or fish,
milk, fresh fruits and vegetables
and bread every single day, and
she eats much more of these than
of sweet, starchy desserts.
