THE WOMEN
THE WOMEN--
Uncle Sam Is Able Guardian
For Women In Uniform

the young women in uniform. Their
health is of the utmost concern to
him.
If a girl is i'll. there is no fool
ing around. She isn't permitted to
decide whether she wants to go to
the doctor or not. She is ordered
to sick bay, where she gets good
medical care, does exactly what is
best for her health, and stays there
until she is fully recovered.
Parents AREN'T always able to
keep a girl home from a dance
when they know she should be in
bed That's a simple matter for
Guardian Uncle Sam.
SHE KEEPS BUSY
Also a girl who has enlisted in
her country's service has JOB of
which she can be proud. Many
girls, who live under their parnts'
roofs, get into trouble because they
have too few real interests in life
and too much time on their hands.
So it seems as if parents of a
daughter old enough to enlist in
one of the services are being overly
cautious when they refuse to let her
do so because they think she won't
be safe out of their sight.
If she is a girl of sound prin-
ciples and aveage common sense,
Uncle Sans guardianship ought to
be all that she will need.

This is the first of series OF
six articles showing a technique
of play known as false-carding.
This series will prove beneficial to
expert and beginner alike.
BY WILLIAM E. MCKINNEY
Americas Card Authority
You may think it odd that l am
showing you only the spade suit
today, but 1 think in this way l
can bring out the point of the play
more clearly. The declarers prob
lem is to lose as few spade tricks
as possible. You will agree that his
correct play is to lead the three OF
spades from his own hand (South)
Naturally West will play the four
spot, and now the declarer illnesses
the jack. The natural play for East
to make is the five-spot, but his cor
rect play is to false-card and play
the nine (not the ten).
Now the declarer will come gack
to his own hand. Figuring that East
held the nine and ten blank, and
having already located the king in
the West hand, South will lead the
queen, hoping to have West cover
with the king and to drop the ten
spot from the East hand-and
thereby lose no spade tricks. or
course West covers with the king
and dummy plays the ace, but East
plays the five-spot, and his ten is
good. If East does not false-card
with the nine, declarer will cash the
ace, Vests king falls, and the en-
tire SnadA sIIit is GOOD.

CITY COUNCIL WILL
CUT UTILITIES RATES

A survey of the municipal gas and
electrical systems to determine the
feasibility of reducing rates of the
two utilities was approved Monday
night at an informal meeting of City
Council by vote of four to one.
The motion was made by Andrew
Bruck, retiring Councilman, and sec
oneded by John Schwalm. DR.. Mark
Millikin and Mayor Leo j Welsh also
voted in favor of the motion and
Councilman Howard Wilson dissented.
Bruck said he was making the mo-
tion because / want to protect the
utilities as much as / can against
private ownership" and added that he
was in favor of municipal ownership.
The electric light rate was the ma
jor issue in the recent councilmanic
election. The Non-partisan Commit
tee favored 25 per cent reduction
and the present Council Club favored
reduction of 40 to SO per cent" when
the final debt of the light plant is
paid if the revenue will warrant.
Each of the two groups elected three
Councilmen.
In opposing the survey, Wilson
said: Il believe the question is up to
the new Council"
City Manager, R. P. Price said
survey would require three to four
months. He said many angles of mu-
nicipal plant operation would enter
into the picture.
Bruck's motion requested that the
City Manager be directed to immedi-
ately begin a survey of the gas and
electric funds for the purpose of de-
termining how much reduction can
safely be made and when; and that
the City Manager be empowered to
employ necessary competent help
needed in the survey.
Price indicated that competent
electrical engineering firm would have
to be employed to carry out the
wishes of majority of Council.
