Y, leaving you BR. Next you are told to add
HOUSE and the letters mn, giving you
B-R-H-O-U-S-E-N-N. From that deduct HEN

Why READ is Conduetino
This Contest

Like all other publications, READ is limited
by wartime paper restrictions on the nun.
Der of copies it can publish. At present,
most of READS circulation is represeoted
by newsstand sales. While in normal times.
with unlimited paper, these sales would be
more than satisfactory, nevertheless there
remain each month on the newsstands
valuable number of unsold copies. These,
we believe, represent potential circulation
tor READ, and an opportunity for added
reading enjoyment on the part of the public.
tlsthe purpose of this contest which offers
$4,000 in Prizes to increase our number
OF regular mail subscribers by utilizing the
normal number ofunsoid copies at the news
stands, thus taking full advantage of the
allotted amount of paper which READ is
permitted to use.

Tswen>ling Tsui
Tells of China's
Role in War
! Embassy Secretary
Gives Talk Before
10th Century Club

'The Role OF China in the War
of Freedom was the subject OF an
address by Tswen-ling Tsui, first
secretary of the Chinese Embassy
yesterday before members of the
Twentieth Century Club.
Mr.. Tsui cited characteristics of
the Chinese people which have en-
abled them to carry on against
the Japanese in the past five years.
The Chinese possess valuable
asset In an ability to improvise, the
speaker declared. Many things
which would be thrown away as
useless in the United States would
be salvaged in China and made into
a variety of needed articles. he said.
The method of utilizing the same
automobile tags year after year,
merely changing the year date by
placing a small new tag in corner
of the old one, as IS now used In
some States, has been adopted in
China for many years as method
Of saving metal, Mr.. Tsui COM
mented.
Another factor which has helped
China to carry On her fight has
been her traditional habit of unit
ing in the face of a common foe,
he added.
THE Chinese may have political
differences in time of peace but
when they are facing a common foe
they become united" he declared.
The speaker concluded with a
tribute to the work of women in
democracies.
"I will qoute DR.. HUI Shih. former
Ambassador from my country, who
declared that the power of wom-
en- is a yard stick of the democracy
in country" he said. "If women
are granted power, it is in democ-
racy. One never hears of power
among the women of Japan, Ger
many or Italy"
Mrs. Cloyd Heck Marvin, club
president, presided and introduced
the speaker Those at the head table
included Mrs. r. l.. Smythe, Mrs.
F. r. Lack. Mrs. A. D. Greenless
and Mrs. Lawrence Martin.

How much real sabotage is being
done by the French industrialists
who are collaborating it is difficult
to say, though Fighting French
sources declare that the sabotage
and slow downs in French factories
have increased since the occupation
of North Africa
Luxury Goods Boom.
The luxury manufacturing region
Of France, the valley of the Rhone,
which used to produce world-famous
silks, has recently acquired new
lease on life.
Some months ago the Nazis sud-
denly ordered an entire French fac
tory near Lyons to start producing
nylon stockings, slips and night
gowns for the German women. This
morale booster" appears to have
been dictated by the attitude of
young Germans toward the women
and girls who were wearing the
heavy fiber-made stockings and
other sundries.
The overstarchy diet which pre-
walls In the Reich has noticeably
increased the girth of the frauleins
and the thick fiber stockings did
nothing to make them more alluring.
A curious sidelight on the recent
nylon situation lies in the fact
that some Nazi statistical findings
of general character which have
reached the United States indicate
that the birth rate in the Reich
fell noticeably after the heavy er-
satz stockings and fineries had alto
gether replaced the lighter fabrics
and silks. %
Profit Motive, Too.
The Nazi officials in France have
not overlooked the profit to be
made out Of Herr Joseph Goebbels'
order for the manufacture of nylon
morale boosting" women's apparel.
Certain of these articles find their
way into Spain, where they are sold
at very high prices in the black
markets of Madrid and other lead
ing Spanish cities.
The Paris dressmaking establish
ments are busily working for the
Nazi conquerors though it must
give very little JOY to the French
couturiere to see fine materials leave

men and women volunteering for
service overseas.
"A number of our Red Cross work

more applying to go overseas"
Miss Hitchcock repudiated

men in New York for the express
purpose of paying a man whose serv-
ices are valuable, but who has not

Practical advice on growing vic
tory gardens was given by Wilbur
H. Youngman, garden editor of The
Evening Star, to members of the
Arlington Women's Club yesterday.
Who should grow gardens and
how to select the proper site were
among suggestions offered by the
speaker. While experience is not
necessary, it is an asset, Mr.. Young
man said, adding no one who is not
willing to spend at least a half hour
each day in the garden should at
tempt one. The speaker advised
reading to obtain information and
cited the case of man over 50 years
of age with no experience who by
reading. study and work had pro-
duced one of the best small gardens
he had seen.
Don't grow things the family
won't eat; don't plant vegetables
that pests will eat if you don't like
to fight pests, and don't try to
garden more than you can carry
through" were some of the don is"
advised by Mr.. Youngman.
He suggested that the plot selected
be approximately 20 by 20 feet and
not over 30 by so feet; that it be in
a spot with plenty of morning sun
and where there were no tree roots.
A garden of the size advised should
supply sufficient vegetables for the
average family with enough also for
canning, Mr.. Youngman said.
The victory gardener should plan
so as to get food from May until
after the first frost. Late July is the
best time to plant for fall crop, he
concluded
