 Women As Well As Uncle Sam

who dol't have small children. And with living costs and taxes both high 1t is nice for family to have some extra money com- ing in each week.
 Then, too, the chance for part time work will give many a woe man who has never before held down a job an opportunity to discover that she can do some- thing besides keep house.
 BREAK FOR HUBBY
 Husbands will get a break out of their wives being able to work part-time, too. The men won't b,e neglected if their wives only work a few hours a day. And since most men are working ',ard- CT than usual in these times, tt will be easier on them if theil wives also keep so busy in the daytime they aren't eager to go calling or have another couple in for bridge at night.
 Sometimes it is hard on Q mar riage for a woman to work full time outside the home. But only good can result when women put their leisure hours to good use by taking on a part-time job, in- stead of letting 1t all go to waste.

 Claude R. Wickard, our newly ap- poinNed food administrator, urges housewives to learn all they can about the value and types of food specialties. The prospects for beef steak, chops and roasts during this coming year is not good. But we needn't go hungry so long as we use plenty of liver, heart, sweetbreads, tripe, kidneys, brains and other such non-reStricted and valuable meats in the diet.
 Learn to judge the quality of these special. meats. First, look at the color. Bright color is generally pref erable in liver, hearts and kidneys. Beef Nver is a darker chocolate color than calf liver. Brains, when fresh, are pinkish gray.
 Careful refrigeration is highly im- portant. These meat specialt!es are more perishable than other meats, and therefore should be used as soon as possible, and of; course kept in the refrigerator till used.
 Learn how to prepare them from your cook books. Brains should be plunged into cold water and the outer covering removed before cook ing. Remove the outer covering on kidneys, too, before cooking. Tongue is cooked first, then the outer cov- ering Is removed. Lamb and hog liv- CT are improved by scalding before cooking, but scalding is not needed for calf or beef liver.

HONE FRI ONT 7sIA3sE&i Auctions Are Popular But No Place For Bargains
BY ANN FRANCE WILSON NEA Service Staff Correspondent


 Washington, Jan. il = Auction sales are going to become increas- ingly popular as priority-ridden household goods disappear from re- taiIsrs' shelves.
 But don't exect to find the "darlingest" little nick-nacks for a song. All auction sales of used household goods and personal ef- fects are exempt from price con- trol and that means that the sky'll be the limit for bids on scarce items.
 British experience showed that when people really want some thing they'll pay the price. Be- fore price ceilings were set on auction sales in England, auction eers were selling secondhand fur niture for twice and three times are amount of their original cost. And that meant that merchants caught on to a new trick.
 Some deliberately scared their new furniture and sent it to auc- fioneers as second hand furni- ture. Thus they got around price ceilings set on new furniture. It hasn't gone that far here, yet, but eventually there'll Dc price ceil- ings set on all auctioned materials in the U. S. too.
 As it now stands some items al- ready are under price control in auction rooms. Typswrlters, ada ing machines and farm machin- cry are on the list. But setting Q correct price ceiling on these items Is SO tricky that many auctioneers just won't bother to auction them off.
 Then also, there's the nuisance of drawing Gtraws for the auction cd goods. Because. for example. iG c typewriter has Q ceiling price Of el0 and there are still three bids ID for it. the only way to settle Whv gets the typewriter for the eic is to draw for it.

 Nowadays, a housewife can count a loose-leaf notebook and pencil among. her beauty aids. Indirectly, they're really charm builders. Rea- son in brief: if you're going to pre- serve your all-irnportant pleasant temper and find time for minimum personal care, you simply have got to have system and shortcuts around the house. Those don't just grow. You have to start them, and about the ilandiest way to do that is to plan on paper, especially pa. per which can be pulled out and thrown away or kept for future re- ference.
 If you haven't yet sat down and matched the essential foreseeable work to a time in your day and your week, do that now. It prevents many a housemaid's knee which is acquired in Q last-ninute rush to complete an unscheduled task. You might keep your schedule in your notebook, or tear 1t out and thumb tack 1t on your kitchen wall. Do keep it near.
 Write menus and shopping lists in the notebook. Keep the menus in month you collect sufficient number which are popu- lar enough with your family to warrant repeating. Oddly, this in- creases rather than decreases the variety of your food, because thus you're much more aware of repe- titions.
 Here, too, keep shortcuts which you haven't yet made a habit of, but mean to - for instance, pick ing up your ration of coffee, on the scheduled day, on your way to Juniors nursery school.
 One system and shortcut rule: don't overload your schedule, imagining that the paper and pen- Gil are policemen able to speed you up without limit. Do count in time for essential personal care and relaxation. They're rekind- ling - just as necessary to the human machine as oil to the fur mace. ....

l. MCKINNEY oN BRIDGE

 Anerica's Card Authority

This is the fourth of @ series ol outstanding rubber bridge hands oi 1o42 given to he by noe of the country's outstanding bridge play CTS, Harry J. Fishbein of the May fair Bridge club in New York.
 We will admit that North was a little optimistic in his bidding, but when 8 player has a couple of aces and a king and his part ner opens the bidding, he is apt to become ambitious. We might call the two-spade bid a slight over bid and certainly North's five heart bid was optimistic.
 The opening heart lead was won with the ace, a heart ruffed, two rounds of diamonds taken, and then thet hird heart ruffed. Now the point is, should the declarer take the spade finesse? No, be- cause if it loses, East will return A club and defeat the contract. Declarer must hope that West holds three spades to the queen, or if East holds the queen of spades,

what someone in the store might think when you walk off with an oversize bundle and you're afraid your neighbor didn't know that you've been doing your heavy buying in hig doses at regular in- tervals - you're out of luck. This is especially true of Washington, where many women are govern ment workers and haven't the time to do their marketing daily.
 However, come the middle of February, when you get your War Ration Book No. 9, your con- science will feel perfectly free to resume your old practice of bi- monthly shopping. Because you'll only be able to buy SO much ra. ticned food with your stamps - and you can use your months supply at once if you like:
