West didn't double the first spade
bid because he hoped his side could
make a vulnerable game. That
would be worth over 600 points. a
score which he could not improve
by double Of one spade unless he
could set it four tricks. Even if
there were no game, setting one
spade one trick for 100 points would
not be as good as making two no.

trump 1t was clear that no sound
game bid could be reached. And
when South foolishly rebid his
spades West could double in the
hope OF getting 300 points for a
tWo-trlck set. Such a score would
be better than making any part

In the play West opened the five

ace. East shifted to the queen of
clubs and the defenders ratified off
three club tricks, after which a sec

East ducked and the 10 forced out

with a chartreuse suede tie that
went over the top OF the crown,

Caring for WooIens

Woolens, both household and
wearables, should be given the
best of care. When not in use.
wooden articles should be kept
in mothproof bags-always clean
woolens before storing never
put them away dirty.
It's patriotic to mend, too-if
you don't know how, better
learn. A stitch in time will save
more than nine--it often pro-
longs for many months the life
OF a garment.
Learn the technique Of remov-
ing spots and stains. Brush
clothes before hanging them up
and send garments 10 the clean
ers as soon as necessary--dirt
is hard on fabrics.

Million Children NoevE mbloyedIn Commerce Industry

WASHINCTON-The num-

less than a million boys and

1910 census to more than 5
million now, One-third OF
whom are IA and Is.
This fact is cited in an article,
Give Years of Federal Control OF
Child Labor, in the December
CHILD, published by the Children
Bureau of the U. S. Department OF
Labor. The article describes in de-
tail the administration by the Chill
dren's Bureau of the Child-Labor
Provisions of the Fair Labor Stand

These provisions, the article ex-
planned, apply to establishments en-
gagged in interstate or foreign COM

interfere with their schooling.

Federal Order
16 Roads Say They Cannot
Stop Discriminating

WASHINCTON-Chairman NAL
colin Ross of the Presidents Fair
Employment Practice Committee
denies the claim by 10 southern
railways that it would be ''impossi-
BILE and impracticable'' to carry
out its directives banning discrim-
inatiOn against Negroes.
The railways have challenged the
committee and stated boldly they
would not obey the directive. In Sc
doing they are brazenly defying Elk
ecutive Order No. o346 which forbids
any discrimination on racial or reli-
gious bases on the part of any contrac:
tor doing business with the govern
ment.

difficulties, he said.
McNutt admitted earlier estimates
of manpOwer requirements have
turned out to be exaggeratiOns. De-
clines in employment in many
fields, plus additions to the working
force among youngsters and mObil-
izatiOn of more women for indus

years needs, he said, both i'm re-

will be met without cOmpulsiOn.
''Chost Towns" Created
AS matter of fact, "ghost" towns,
expected to be familiar sight after
the war, are already being created.
One of these is Mouat, Mont, in the
Bear Tooth Mountains.
An entire town was built there.
Two thousand workers were inn
ported. Tunnels were dug into the
mountains and mills were con-
structed for the production of
chrome, which became scarce over
night when the major sources of
supply abroad-in the Philippines
and Africa-were cut off by enemy
invasiOns.
The Allied capture of North Africa
and Sicily reopened shipping routes
for the metal, which can now be
brought in more cheaply than it can
be produced at home. AS result,
the entire town of Mouat-rnines,
mills, homes and public buildings
! was abandoned.

the subject in September, Ross
said: ''Their letter now makes a

''The FEPC believes" said Ross,
''that the granting of overdue rights
to Negro railroad men, far from
being a cause for disorder, could
be so managed as to improve serv-

of thousands of Negro Americans

Plane Production:
1 Every S Minutes

A complete airplane every five
minutes-that's the record of the
aviation industry for November.
Output reached 5000 units, the
greatest i'm history, war produc-
ton officials revealed.
The total reflected a substan-
tial increase i'm heavy bombers,
the kind that are making rubble
of Berlin, including the new
Super-Flying Fortress, which car
ries 10 tons of bombs over a
longer range than any other
bomber.
The record was considered the
more remarkable because No
vermber is a short month of 80
days and included Thanksgiving,
on which some plants did not
run at their peak.
