of the year. A new order allows meat loaf to be put up in glass.
 Last years all-over meat canning was much higher than 1942. Over a billion pounds of pork, 15O mil- lion pounds of beef, and 59o million pounds of miscellaneous meats were canned. A good percentage of 1t went for military stocks. Building up that stock will leave more for the homefolks now and later.
 Canned meats were included in the sweeping removal of meats from rationing. Col. Bryan Hous- ton, retiring rationing chief, point ed out. This was done to keep things moving so canners won't slow up, and in keeping with OPA policy of not rationing anything plentiful. SWEET AND HOMELESS

10 McKENNEY oN BRIDGE

, Capt. Glenn Miller and his air force band. Three tables of bridge were in progress, while the boys were waiting to play, and we stopped long enough to watch this interest ing hand.
 West continued with the jack of spades, when the queen held the first trick. Declarer made good play by refusing to cover, ruffing with a low trump in his own hand. He then led a trump, West played the three, dummy's ten was finessed and East won with the jack. East now made the play that beat the contract. He laid down the ace of spades, knowing that it established the spade king as win ner in dummy. South ruffed and led another trump, but West won with the ace and returned spade. The queen of trumps in the East hand won the setting trick.
 South should have played the king of hearts from dummy on the first trump lead, which would have limited the defenders to two trump tricks and one spade. He should have reasoned from Vests overcall that in all probability the ace of hearts was in that hand, in addi- ton to the queen high spade suit.

Gloomy Predictions Doom
 War Marriages To Failure

 DOOMED?
 Young couples whose war mar. riages hit the snags most marriages encounter sooner or later will be tempted to think, Well, we probably married in too much of hurry. Chances are our marriage was doomed to failure from the start?"
 Modern parents know that the quickest way to turn 8 child into a failure in life is to give him the idea that his parents don't expect much of him.
 It loks as though the same thing would be true of the young people who are marrying today. Tell them often enough that the majority of their marriages are doomed-and they'll likely accept 1t for a fact.
 So isn't it about tilrne we had some constructive talk about war marriages and quit making gloomy predictions?

 PEACE PLANS
 DURABLE PEACE" by Ross J. s. Hoffman (Oxford Press: $1.75), lays down definite principles for a permanent American foreign policy. He manages to set forth proposals which are practical and progressive, conservative and at the same time internationalist, traditional an d nti-isolationist. The author goes into the background of World War I, country by country. He deals ex- tensively with Russia, and declares that a lasting peace without part nership with Russia cannot be at- tained
 How can that be gained and held?" he asks. Not by sycophantic licking of Stalin's boots or fatuouslv allowing our policies to be influenc- ed by emigre radicals from Europe and homegrown Communists and fellow travellers. Indeed these are more likely to lead us to a quarrel than to an understanding with Rus sia. The way lies in finding prac- tical relationships and common spe- cific objectives, and above all in re- sisting the lure of vengeful or sen- timental purposes that cross high Russian interests. The same pre- scription applies also to the Rus sians, and probably the more we ob- serve it on our side the more they will do the same"
 Professor Hoffman is not of the rage germany and Japan to- the ground school, and advises shrewd moderation as a course of postwar action, if permanent peace is to be attained.

W h harbored Mary Beard them. Most frequently, however, they are passed from person to per- son by combs, brushes, hats or scarfs. For this reason one should be very cautious about using such articles belonging to others.
 Head lice can be destroyed very quickly with proper care and a con- tinued cleanliness. An old-fashion- ed but effective treatment is to sat- urate the hair at night with tinc- ture of larkspur which you can buy at the drug store. Wrap the head in a towel, pinning 1t tightly around the edges of the hair, and keep 1t on all night.
 VINEGAR REMOVES VERMIN
 In the morning, wash the hair thoroughly with jelly made by melt ing pure soap, or with good com- Inercial shampoo, rubbing it into the scalp for about 10 minutes. Rinse the hair several times with clear water.
 The eggs of the louse, called nits, appear as tiny white beads attach cd to the hair by sticky substance that resists water. They can be re- moved by combing the hair calG- fully with & fine comb dipped fre- quently into hot vinegar. This dis solves the material that holds the nits, and the combing pulls them loose.
 If this treatment is repeated every other day for a week, there will be no danger of either lice or nits surviving.
 To avoid new invasion, inspect the heads of other members of the family, and see that they get the same treatment If necessary,

THE American people, as they
come to know Bricker bet
ter, will realize that here is a
selfless person. When he en-
tered the stadium on the last
night of thesconvention to sit in
a box with his wife. the audi
ence just rose and stood. There
was no applause and no cheer
ing. They just stood. 1t was no
politics: it was respect.
The Brickers have a little boy,
Jackie. He and his father are
inseparable. Together, they are
just two boys.
Jackie was at the convention,
distributing buttons and hand
bills, running errands and hav-
ing the time of his life.
And then he discovered that
his father was not to be the
precedent of the United States.
Jackie continued to distribute
buttons and handbills, but
Jackie was hit hard.
After Bricker. in the early
hours of Wednesday morning,
had decided to accepted the vice
presidency, some of us were dis
cussing the events that led up
to it and one old friend said:
HE had to do It. He could
not break Jackie's heart"
John Bricker will bring to the
efficient administrator a
warmth of soul that will win
them both friends among our
people.
