 After South's opening bid of one heart. West could see no future for his nine-card club suit. The best that could happen to him after North and South agreed on a suit, probably was Q save at the six or seven level. He therefore decided to shoot the works. His five-club bid certainly put North in Q bad posi- ton. He could not support hearts because of his singleton ace. To come in at the i've level vulnerable, with Q suit headed by the jack, might be fatal. Ali he could do was to double and hope for set.
 As you can see, five clubs cannot be beaten. After winning with the heart ace, North played Q spade, hoping to get his partner on lead for a heart ruff. But West ruffed the first spade trick, drew h rumpstee frs spade trick, drew the trumps and conceded another heart trick,

 There probably never has been Q housewife with a brain and all- bition who hasn't begrudged the time that the pure drudgery of housework takes-the dish-washing, scrubbing, ironing.
 If the home economists can give women work routines that will en- able them to do housework more quickly and more easily, 1t will be one of the most important things that ever happened to women. For most women really want to be home@ makers-but few of them enjoy the hours of routine work.

 The difficulty involved in ex. polling air from the lungs pre-. vents the usual def1ation of the lungs, and the exchange of air is SO reduced that shortness of breath thus is the result.
 Asthma attacks which occur in the summer and fall, as the result of the pollination of various grasses and of ragweed, are usu- ally associated with typical nay fever. The attacks begin soon after the offending plant starts to polinate. They usually end when the pollinary season is concluded, but occasionally the attack persists beyond this time, because of infec- ton which has secondarily invaded the respiratory tract and continues the irritation.
 SUGGESTED TREATMENT
 Reducing the degree of hyper sensitivity for asthma due to pollen sensitivity is accomplished by in- jecting graduated doses of the par tcular substance to which the in dividual is sensitive. The treat ment of an attack calls for epine- phrin or ephedrine, which usually give temporary relief.
 The inhalation of smoke from stramonium leaves, the chief in- gredient of most commercial asthma powders, often relieves the

- HONE 5;ls ONT SSlS3sEsll HOW MILK WILL BE RATTONED IS OPA'S SPECIAL PROBLEM
By ANN sTEvICK NEA Stan Correspondent

Washington, Sept. 1- With the coming seasonal decline in milk production, 1t is almost certain that some form of control will have to be set up on fluid milk.
 The rationing of such perish- able food Is very difficult. A mis- taken calculation in point values could bring the disaster of quan- titles of spoiled milk. Milk may, however, be controlled by quotas.
 Production figures for dairy pro- ducts are way up this year. But there isn't enough to fill the rising demand for fluid milk and leave anything to make cheese, evaporat- ed milk or butter. Since fluid milk is the only one of these four milk products which is unrationed, the uncontrolled demand for 1t is pull ing milk away from cheese factories and butter producers.
 Discussions are also going on with dairy representatives about price adjustments on milk. They feel prices will have to go up in some cases.

 INDUSTRIAL PROBLEM
 An eye that is defective in re- fracting light is problem for pro- fessional advice. Faulty diet and diseased tissue as causes of eye strain are likewise medical prob lems-but illumination is something within the realm of everyday ob- servation and control and deserves the consideration of workers and management alike.
 Early in the present century, inc dustrailists began to be aware that a correlation existed between the eyesight, the comfort, and the effi- ciency of output of their employees. But the physical requirements of -illumined environment were difficult of analysis, and variable in each new situation. so that pro- gress in industrial lighting has been slow.
 Theoretically, factory lighting should provide adequate illumina- ton of good quality-certainly quite possible with the electric light. But that light should be difIused gener- ally, and supplemented where nec- essaEy with direct local illumination. at the same time eliminating c0n- tracts in the surrounding field. such as glaFins hishlights and confusing shadows.
