 That's all the more reason, WIPE textile experts point out, for using the cloth on hand for the home folks to make low-cost clothes with standards of durability. Without a strong incentive for manufacture CTS you might find inexpensive everyday clothes completely gone by fall. Manufacturers who bid on the low-cost garments planned with minimum requirements for yardage, stitching, and suhc features will be sure of getting cloth. Otherwise, if cloth gets scarce enough, they may get 1t.

Several of the defending cham pions are in the services. For ex- ample, last year John R. Crawford of Philadelphia won two world championships, the Masters pair and Masters team of -four. Johnnie is now 8 private at Camp Swift, Tex. Here is one of the hands that helped him win last year.
 The bidding marked South with six-card suit, and Johnnie also marked him with the king of hearts. When North shifted to a club at the second trick, Crawford won with the ace, took the spade finesse, South won and returned a spade. Dummy's ace won, the king of clubs was cashed and a club ruffed. Now Crawford led a heart and refused the finesse, as he had a perfect count on the South hand. A small heart was led from dummy and South won his last trick with the king.

their news ahead of everybody else.
 But in this case the First Lady should have kept still about the fact that her husband confided in her. Since the war began, servicemen and even war plant workers have been warned over and over again against giving out any military information. And the warnings clearly meant that they weren't even to conflde in their wives.
 Of course, the President knew his wife could be trusted with the important invasion secret. But isn't that just the reason why he shouldn't have told her? Every man KNOWS his little woman can be trusted with anything he tells her. But he is asked not to give her any military informa- tion. anyway.

Beauties Hints
 Laundry Shaker Doubles Studs
 And Saves Soap
BY ALICIA HART NEA Staff Writer

Use the cocktail-shaker method of washing neckwear-put 1t in a bottle of hot water and soap suds, cap tight and shake-and you'll be needing fewer flakes.
 There's need to conserve, be- cause 100 100000 pounds of soap are used annually in the process of making synthetic rubber for tires. The cocktail-shaker method described also means less wear and tear on hands and nail polish for the frequent cleanup of the frosted white lingerie touches.
 In washing clothes that you have to run clean-that goes for dish wrestling, too-it is better economy to keep enlivening suds than 1t is to dump in your full quota of soap at one swoop and let suds die out
 Most extravagant waste of soap is to return wet cake to dish or stand where 1t stays wet and melts. After you use cake, either take the trouble to dry 1t and put 1t in a dry niche or place 1t on the fiat edge of the basin and let 1t harden of its own accord.

 @NfchQnEA Guard Against
 Kitchen Mishaps
 While Canning

Avoid kitchen accidents during the canning season. CarelessnesS-- the seventh column-killed 33,000 in the home in 1943 and injured al- most 10 million. Canning accidents, due to carelessness, haste and for getfulness, helped run the 1943 total 5 per cent higher than in 1942.
 Here are some suggestions for keeping the seventh column out of your kitchen during home canning.
 Tn cutting food, don't slice pieces so small that it's dangerous to keep or chop, use one of those special ized, inexpensive gadgets designed to do the job for you. And keep your sharp instruments out of reach of small children
 Watch your cooking foods so that they don't boil over, and put out the gas flame while you're away from the kitchen. Pour foods into boiling water gently, without splash ing. When transferring the finish ed product from stove to jar, be careful of dripping or Splashing. Use dipper. Be sure you have an ade- quate supply of hot pads-don't hold hot pans with a wet, steamy cloth!
 If any food should drop on the floor, wipe 1t up immediately. Be extrtmely careful of hot paraffin it causes very bad burns If spill led on the skin.
 Finally, keep your kitchen neat Nothing encourages accidents so much as untidiness. If you wash each article and put 1t away as you're finished with 1t, preserving will seem less of a chore, and you won't end the day with a sink piled full of dishes, pots, pans, knives and other utensils. There's bad cut lurking in a messy sink!
 Don't can foods by the oven method. The jars may explode.
