Once upon q time there was
Great Prince who ruled a Per
feet State. Well, an Almost Per-
feet State.
It was "a per cent to IS per
cent efficient every place ex-
cept in the Princes capltai
where, alas, the council of state
was filled with men who dion !
understand, the town criers and
pamphleteers didn't seem to
know what went on in the coun-
try which caused them to give
out many sententious views
which did infinite harm, and the
third. fourth and fifth assistant
ministers never knew the whole
story, though they told what lit
tie they did know to the town
criers and pamphleteers VINO
eeked out precarious livings Dy
picking up sundry gossips in the
coffee houses and passing them
on to the curious citizenry.
Now the Great Prince was
wont to travel among his SUBJ
iects. Most of the time he went
in coach of state, with great IAN
fare of trumpets and large re-
tinues of court followers. ana
much interviewing of lord may
ors and governors and high sher-
ifs.
But it came to pass that the
Almost Perfect State became IN.
yolved in war with certain evil
men who lived over the seas.
This kept the Great Prince very
busy. for many of his subjects
came to the capital to see for
themselves what gave.
Nonetheless, in due time the
Great Prince became afflicted
with the itching foot, and he
longed to roam once more up
and down the land. But all his
new advisers and his marshals
and his commondores kept him
so busy that he couldn't get
away.
So he bethought him of plan.

sole chance for q ninth trick
lies in q squeeze. What shoppers
are the defenders forced to hold?
The defender who has four or
more diamonds must save them,
to prevent South's fourth small
diamond from making. The de-
fender who holds three or more
clubs must keep a stopper
against dummy's suit. Hence the
declarer holds threat cards in
both minors.
But he does not have a threat
card in spades. Although he
has small cards under the tops,
all these small cards will disap-
pear when the tops are cashed.
The defenders can discard spades
safely.
To effect a squeeze, declarer
must have threat cards in at
least two suits. If he has such
cards only in two suits, then the
squeeze will work only il the
shoppers against his threats are
both in one hand. Here the
conditions are right. On the last
heart dummy lets 60 q spade and
South q club. Three rounds of
spades are cashed, followed by
two top clubs. Unless East
chooses to discard his club stop
per, declarer then finds that he
wins all four diamond rounds.

First, he would PROFOUND q
riddle-a great iddle-a rid
die which would so occupy the
minds and attention of all his
council and his third and fourth
and fifth assistant ministers and
even the town criers and scri-
vening pamphleteers. that the
Great Prince would be able to
sneak away.
The riddle which the Great
Prince propounded was this:
How can the cost of q sword
be kept down while the wage
of the blacksmith goes up be-
cause the bag or barleymeal
which the blacksmith eats rises
in price because the country
squire must offer hire of a shil-
ling more to find peasants to
thresh the barley because all
the peasantry want to be smiths
or are off to the wars? What Is
it?
Now this was truly q great
riddle. The Great Prince gave
his capital two weeks to guess
the answer, and took q runout
powder.
The Prince decided before he
left that he would travel Incog-
nito. He would tell the pamph-
letters and town criers that he
was going, but he would charge
them specifically to remember
that when he got there, it would
not be he, so no mention was to
be made of it. Moreover, he told
all the pamphleteers and town
criers that they should tell no
one that he had left, until he
got gack.
So for two weeks the Great
Prince travelled up and down his
country, watching the smithies
forge their plowsharys into
words, watching his ship
wrights, watching his wheel
wrights fashion chariots of war.
watching his alchemists make
gunpowders and wondrous light
and strong metals out of the
very clay, seeing his armies, in
speeding his fleets, looking in
awe as his state hunters trained
their falcons to dart down out OF
the skies like birds of war. 1t
was truly an Almost Perfect
State-94 per cent and IS per
cent perfect. anyway.
A GREAT SILENCE FALLS
And all this time, not a
pamphleteer printed a word and
not a town crier spoke a word
about the Great Prince inspect
ing his subjects, for was not the
Great Prince travelling Inognito,
and were not the pamphleteers
and town criers loyal and faith
full subjects! -,
And all this time the council
and the third and fourth and
fifth assistant ministers Of state
wrestled with their riddle, for
they were determined to solve
it ere the Great Prince return
ed.
So it came to pass that in two
weeks time, the Great Prince
came back to his capital, and
then and only then did the
pamphleteers and the tow
criers spread the word that the
Great Prince had been away,
though he had been seen in
many a great city and many a
small village and hamlet and
Army camp.
And what do you suppose the
council and the third and fourth
and fifth assistant ministers and
the. pamphleteers and town
criers got for being such good
and obedient subjects while the
Great Prince had been away?
They got a bawling out for
being such dopes.

Here's What
 Price Control
 Means to You
By JACK sTINNETT A ssOpiafed Press

WASHINGTON-To the thousand and-one questions about the sweep ing price control order which plae- es retail ceilings on handreds and hundreds of articles this month, the answer is simply nobody knows.
 Just exactly what will happen as result of it? Who will be hurt? How can the seller of goods or ser- vice adversely affected beat the game and stay in business? Will 1t Cwith other measures already in ef- feet and to folloW1 solve our in- flation problem? Will it forestau or neeessitate rationing2 Will it nee essitate subsidies? How is it going to be enforced? Will "black mar ketse become prevalent2
 The answer still is nobody knows
 If there are two people in Wash ington who should know about the price control order. they are Leon Henderson chubby chief of the Of- flee of Price Administration, and President Roosevelt himself
 Yet the OPA calls the sweeping price ceiling order merely the cor nerstone in the wall against infla- ton and President Roosevelt warn ed the nation in his fireside chat that he would use his executive powers to the fullest to carry out the policy laid down Both these pronouneem ents indicate that the price ceiling is not the end of it. but rather the beginning Both hint that measures will be taken as nee essity arises-but just what these potential necessities may be is not defined The reason is that for the most part they can only be guessed at and it is those guesses, unofficial and official, with which I wish to deal, for in them possibly may be the key to this riddle which is go- ing to affect more American lives than any other law or government order ever issued
 It may well be that this nation operating through it's democratic processes, is throwing itself into a depression in the hope that it may emerge from the war effort going uphill instead of down. That at least is the way one government economist has described it. If it is Tt a seIf-imposed brake on what might have been the biggest boom in the nations history.
 The way Leon Henderson tells 1t, there's nothing very complicated a bout the present imitation threat. After taxes and savings are deduct ed, it is estimated that the Amer

les at prices above the fixed level
 For the merchant, however. ra- tioning means less business and as the system spreads, he will have to cut even deeper into his costs of operation, giving less and less ser vice to the consumer.
 Aside from rationing, there are two other important possibilities in the offing in the anti-inflation cam paign. First. extension of the price ceiling to commodities not now in- cluded (prineipally farm products and certain personal servieesl and to wages. If these things tend to get out of line. this extension will come, or the whole program will collapse. The second is the granting of government subsidies to supply the consumer with certain products which otherwise would vanish from the market and to prevent some businesses from being forced to the wall In Canada. where there has been an overall ceiling on all com modities and wages since the first of the year. government subsidies have been found to be a necessity and are spreading.
 What lies ahead for the United States and for the housewife in this phase of the anti-inflation drive is anybody's guess.

 The increasing number of appH- cations Of private citizens, many of them dependents of persons in mil ftary service or employed on mili- tarv projects, for permission to tra- vel to Alaska has necessitated a statement of policy on the trans portation of civilians to the Terri tory.
 The Commandant of the Thir- teenth Naval District and the Com manding General Western Defense Command, are discouraging travel of all women and children to Alas ka. especially southwestern and western Alaska, because of the eX- cessive shortage of passenger trans portation facilities, the very defin- ite hazard involved, and because subsistence of Alaska is proving in- creasingIy difficult The nature of the military situation has required, and will continue to require use of all available space in vessels oPer- ating between continental United States ports and the Territory of AL aska.
 The War Department and the Navy Department have issued ord CTS prohibiting wives and depend ents of military personnel, includ- ing the Army, Navy Marine Corps, and Coast Guard, and of civilian workers employed on military pro iects from returning to Alaska. Per mission to return to Alaska has been granted to few persons who were actual bona fide longtime res idents of Alaska This will continue as the single exception to the policy of the Army and the Navy in dis couraging travel of all dependents to Alaska.
