} MCKINNEY
 ON BRIDGE
BY WILLIAM E. MCKINNEY America's Card Authority

Mrs. R. c. (Sally) Young of Philadelphia, at one time rated the outstanding woman bridge player of the world, has not played much tournament bridge lately due to her war work. But she had the week. end of and went over to the Read- ing Tournament, where she won the mixed pair event with David Warner. and finished second in the team of -four with Warner, Joseph Davis and E. c.

and apply whatever antiseptic the doctor has advised you to use. After this has dried, cover the wound with sterile gauge (not cotton) and bandage, or strap the dressing on with adhesive tape.
 MAKE A CRUTCH
 It is difficult to make a roller bandage stay on a knee because the action of the leg has a tendency to loosen 1t and make it slip. It is much easier to use a triangular bandage on this kind of an injury if you do not have adhesive tape.
 A triangular bandage may be made from a square of old muslin about 20 X 20 inches. depending on the size of the injured person.
 Fold the square diagonally from corner to corner. Place the diagonal fold above the knee and let the point hand down over the knee. Pass the ends of the bandage to the back and cross them. bringing them around to the front again, below the knee cap. Tie them securely over the point of the bandage, preferably with a squar knot that will not slip.
 Sometimes a crutch is needed temporarily to help the accident vic tim get around. An improvised one can easily be made from an old worn-out broom. Trim the brush in- to a curve that will fit well under the arm, and cover it with a thick pad and make it comfortable. The broom handle can be cut off to make it the right length.

Last years operations showed 0 deficit of $ll0,506 compared to $202.- 607 the previous year. The improved situation has been brought about by the success of the opera fund cam paign during the season, continued reduction in bonded indebtedness and an agreement with the city on tax reduction.
 Taxes next season will be approxi- mately $ll5,000 lower. which is more than last seasons deficit. The prospect of a .nearly-balanced bud- get is based on expectation of con- tinued public support, but the re- port notes that budget trimming had resulted in the foregoing of many expenditures needed for the good of operatic art, such as new scenery, new costumes. new pro- auctions. etc. Presumably such eco- monies cannot go on indefinitely nor be carried too far.
 Tn a companion report, Edward Johnson. general manager of the Metropolitan, noted certain artis- tic paradoxes. He observed that II operas have been given in English in the past decade, and although the company is made up increasingly of English-speaking singers in an English-speaking country. there has been no convincing evidence of any English.
 He found also that highly class ical works which hitherto have not had any popular following. such as Debussy's "Peleas ct Melisande" and the Mozart masterpieces, have come into their own at the Metro politan in spite of poor box-office returns in the past.
 SPEAKING of deficits, the Phila- delphia Orchestra reports one for l943-44 or $26.486. That may be offset, or partly so, some time in the future through additional reve- nue from radio. The annual report of the orchestra said there is every indication that the sustaining broadcasts given last season will be continued by Columbia and it is hoped this activity will result in obtaining satisfactory commercial sponsor.
 The orchestra will open next season a week earlier than usual. on Sept. 29, giving its regular 28 pairs of Friday afternoon and Sat- urday evening programs and 10 Monday evening programs. Ten concerts in New York and seven each in Baltimore and Washington will be included in nearby out-of- town engagements. as well as three in Richmond. two in Harrisburg and

 Well, it may be the same in gov- ernment. Though there are considerable number of women &C., tive politically and though women are now member of the Army, Navy of women are still politically noth- and Marines - the great majority ing more than back seat drivers.
 They get together in their clubs to study and discuss politics and decide on issues. And as club women they can do some back seat driving the politicians have to listen to- for when they are at all united their voice is strong and loud.
 IN DRIVERS SEAT
 But even so about all they do politically is criticize the driver and offer him suggestions. But that is probably just the stage women are in-and another 25 or 50 years may find them more and more eager to get into the drivers seat to see what they can do themselves.

 Office of Price Administration price experts are looking for some place along the line between mill ana market where this increase can come off so you won't pay more for finished clothes. Since work cloth- ing manufacturers have long com plained they produced at a loss. 1t is certain that many work clothes prices must go up.
 SHOPPING TROUBLES
 Knit underwear and infants clothes. women's slips. mems shorts and such standard everyday items made of basic cotton yarns and cloths whose mill prices must go up are likely to show an increase as the adjustment process contin- ues. Prices on housedresses, school dresses and boys shirts made of cotton prints may be evened up by forthcoming rules which will do away with more expensive cotton finishes. The least expensive ones which haven't been easy to find, anyway. were usually made of plain- CT cottons. Your shopping troubles in looking for these at lowest prices are apt to get worse.

 We finally got around to talking to Bill Gargan, recently returned from that CT entertainment swing around the world with Paulette Goddard. He was reluctant to do much talking about the trip ey- cept to throw bouquets at Paul. cite, to say that the boys in the China Burma theater had rugged going, and that he never felt bet ter in his life. Tt was a great va- cation. I should have paid them for the trip" he said.
 The conversation always returned to Bills ranch 60 miles from Holly wood. He raises alfalfa. Last season he had an acre of sandy soil he didn't know what to do. with. So he tossed in some watermelon seeds and forgot lem. They netted him SlOO0. "The ranch is finally paying off after two years" he said.
