Since 1t will be more than a year or two before additional housing facilities would be ready for occupancy, Hancher pointed out, It will be necessary for both college and community to give thorough study and thought to the kind and ex- tent sof housing accommodati necessary.

CLIPPER SHIP MEN," by Alex ander Laing (Duell, Sloan and Pearce: S3.OO) is the fascinating story of the development of the 'tprefect ship" MT. Laing, who has his subject down cold, goes back to the beginnings of Seafaring and provides the background leading up to that great era of the mid 18OO's, which produced ships and shippers of lasting fams.
 The author traces the trend in change of design toward the swift, graceful clipper, which for years ran away from its new rival, steam, and kept its speed records intact. Fine illustrations by Arm strong Perry help make Clipper Ship Men' beautiful and en7 crossing book. The perfect gift for lovers of ships.

YOUR sewing machine
Y should be one Of your
cherished possessions. Take
care of II. This Is best done
by keeping II oiled with the
proper grade of oil called
for In the manufacturers
instruction sheet.
Wipe il well after oiling.
A belt that is too tight is
apt to wear the bearings, so
check this. Also be sure
that you loosen the bobbin
winder after using ii.
If your machine is an cleo
trio model and you have all
the different gadgets and
parts which belong with it,
by all means keep the in
struction book handy and
make the, best use of these
various parts IN your regu-
lar sewing. The right hem
mer, or tucker, or darner.
for the work you have on
hand can save you hours.
Obey Instructions
DE sure TO use the correct
% size needle for the fabric
to be stitched. Do not try
to help your sewing machine
along by pulling the ma
terial while you stitch; this
is sure TO spoil the length of
the stitch and may bend the
needle. When you remove
the fabric, loosen the ten
sion so the thread can be
eaSed out a little without
swapping or pulling the bob
bin.
You can run over pins left
in the material after baSting
il your machine is supplied
with the hinged foot, but it
is better not to do this, as
there is dangerof the needle
striking a pin and being
either bent, dulled or broken.
If the manufacturer of
your machine maintains a
sewing center in your COM
munity, have your machine
checked by an expert ever
so often to keep it in tune.
When you are not using the
machine, cover it to keep
the dust away from the fine
parts. 1t will give you
longer and better service
with this care.

are addressed to the funeral of the

there is a notice in the papers request

A very natural impulse of kindness is
to send few flowers with a note
either Immediately or few days or

afterward-are especially comforting

One of the most interesting fea-
lures Of tournament bridge is the
heated discussion among the play
ers while they are waiting for the
scores to be computed. Fred D.
Kaplan, a New York attorney, often
advances good sound argument
in these discussions. The other night
he said, why do people bid so
much on a five-card suit headed
by the ace-king, with q side king?
It's good looking hand on paper,
but 1t will get you into trouble. If
a player has five-card suit headed
by the ace-king-queen- jack, you
can't stop his bidding. Now picture
both partners holding a flve-card
suit to the ace-king and a side
kingv
Someone said, "But. Fred, with
both partners holding a five-card
suit to the ace-king and each with
a side king, there ought to be a
game If they play 1t in the right
spot"
Then Kaplan pulled out a PEN
Gil and wrote down today's hand.
He gave North and South each a
solid five-card suit with $50 hon.
orS, and side king. He said, "Play
1t at no trump, and the opponents
take the first six tricks. Play it at
