Cleveland has always enjoyed a
reputation for fine card playing,
which, as have said before, is be-
cause in my opinion of it's optim-
ism in bidding. One OF Cleveland's
smart young players is Yeoman
Elmer I. Schwartz, now serving IN
Gle Sam in the United States oCast
Guard. Schwartz won the trophy for
the best percentage all through the
Ohio State tournament this year,
having either top score or second
in practically every exent.
West certainly could not be
criticized for doubling Woman
Schwartz five-club contract on TO-
days hand, yet the contract was
made. Schwartz won the opening
lead with dummys ace of hearts
and ruffed a small heart in his own
hand. He then cashed the king
and ace of clubs and played small
spade, successfully finessing the
Jack. The king and ace OF spades
were cashed and small diamond
discard from his own hand on the
fourth spade. Schwartz then rufted
the third heart, and made a very
nice play by throwing West in with
the last trump. Now West could
make only one diamond trick.

PLAN WEEK=LONG MENU
OF UNRATIONED FOODS
BY GAYNOR MADDOX
NEA Staff Writer

Your victory gardens and grocery
shops are alive with fresh vegetables.
Use them freely in your menus now
that they are so reasonable. Use
bakers bread plentifully, too-en-
richeG white, whole wheat, and
whole wheat, and whole rye. Bakers
bread saves your own supply Of
rationed shortening and when you
eat it at every meal, you are taking
advantage of our vast wheat crop
one of our guarantees that Ameri-
cans will win the war.
Try a week of protein foods that
are not rationed. Use chicken, rab-
bit, eggs, peanuts, soy beans, dried
beans and fish. Use your red points
to lay in supply of cooking oils and
shortening margarine, canned fish
and canned meats for holiday pic
MICS.
If you serve garden fruits, berries
and vegetables, including large bowls
of mixed salad green's, and many
kinds Of wholesome bread, plus the
non-rationed protein foods listed,
you'll find that going without meat
for a week is an agreeable expert
ment in war time economy.
For workers sandwiches, try these
lively spreads.

A rug, the June bride who is fur
nishing her home for the first time
will find, is big investment. But,
as wives who have celebrated their
silver weddings can confirm, no
matter how good rug may be to
begin with, if proper precautions
arens taken to lay it properly, clean
it we'll and insure it against too
much wear in one spot, its life will
be cut considerably.
Here are a few things everyone
ought to know about rugs.
When laying a rug, especially
if flors are rought or uneven, put a
pad underneath to prevent friction
and shock.
Never allow dust and grit to
become Embedded in the pile, for
it will eventually cut the fibers.
And, besides, the grease and tar
content of these particles cause
discoloration. 1t is important to
vacuum rugs which receive a lot
of use every day, and others
twice a week at least.
A rug receives much more
wear at the entrance Of room and
In front Of a favorite chair. So,
each time the furniture is switched
around the room, reverse the rug
too. And if carpeting already
shows wear and tear In certain
spots, use scatter rugs to protect
them from further usage.
Where small areas have been
crushed by furniture, pile can be
brought back to normal by apply
ing a hot iron on a damp cloth.
Brush the pile briskly, then re-
peat If the crushing is excessive.
Never, never shake small rugs
by gripping them at one end and
Swapping the other, for this may
break the yarns in the back and
cause the pile to loosen and come
out.
In cleaning a rug with broom,
always sweep WITH the lay OF
the nap, not against it.
Absorbent powders are recon-
mended by experts for cleaning
rugs at home. Soap solutions,
they say, are to be avoided be-
cause of slow drying, which may
cause mildew, and the deposit OF
residual fats which tend to collect
dust rapidly. Ammonia solutions
shouldn't be used at all, as they
may change the colors.

Washington, June elf you
think last Fourth Of July was tame
as far as the traditional sound and
fury are concerned, wait until you
try to celebrate the holiday this
year. The only fireworks to be seen
now are those our fighting men are
dropping on the Axis - unless
manufacturers have some hidden
stocks on hand, report WPB Of
ficials. Most of the fireworks peo-
pie, If they're not out of business

pyrotechnic perennials as Roman
candles are now Very flares and the
powder that once went into fire
crackers now goes into cannon that

Fourths.
PHONE SHORTAGE

so concerned with what became
of them and their mothers.
But now he has done something
that shows he isn't going to ig
more completely his newest nieces
and nepheWs.
He says that fathers serving over
seas can now be sent photo
graphs, by V Mail, OF their
children who are under one year
of age or born since their Dad left
for overseas duty.
Uncle Sam must have a Senti-
mental streak after all He does
seem to understand that the par
ents of war babies are just as
pleased with them and as con-
cerned about them as parents of
children born any time.
UNCLE SEEMS PROUD
Even though he himself can't
see his way clear to treating all
babies the same when it comes to
their fathers draft StatuS-he at
least realizes that to their fathers,
who many have never seen them,
they are important.
So important that picture Of
Mama holding baby can be sent
V-mail to Dad to boost his NOR
ale, and to give him something to
show around to his friends.
It's nice to know Uncle Sam is
proud of these new kids who call
him Uncle. They may be making
life pretty hard for their parents
right now. But they ought to be
a fine generation. They were con-
ceived in spite of the war, in spite
of their parents insecurity. in
spite of common sense" They
we're born when they were because
their parents wanted them enough
to fear waiting until the war is
over to have them.
