A MUNICIPAL DISGRACE

CIeonup weeks disclosure Of the countless per-

their curb stones, constitutes startling o'oek-eye

For months, even yeon now. we have heord I'M

To be sure, since the tin hosn't been soved ond
- IN most coses at leost - is now rusted ond be-
voud use, it should be disposed Of.
To drive obout the eity's streets today however,
one con see in concrete form the very type OF COM
oocency and of disregard for the fote OF our ormed
forces thot could il persisted in spell the dffeF-

The person who cannot. or does not, bother to
save rim for war use shouldn't feel too proud Of him
self when he looks in the mirror in the morning.
For the benefit Of those wor-busy persons who
have forgotten just how rim cons should be pro-
eessed:
Both ends Of the cans should be cut out
Pepper labels should be removed ond the met

Declarer correctly did not cover
with the king and East held the
trick. The drop of the ten-spot
warned East that declarer was
out of diamonds, so he shifted to
the king of hearts, on which
West played the five-spot.
If declarer had played the
deuce of hearts, there would
have been no way for East to tell
whether his partner held the
four or six or seven. With the
drop of the deuce from North S
hand, few East players would
have sufficient nerve to continue
with the ace of hearts and set
up that whole heart suit. They
would prefer to lead another
diamond and try to cash dia-
mond trick.
The declarer playing against
Sobel made the mistake of false
carding with the sevenspot on
the king of hearts. Now East
knew that his partner was trying
TO complete an echo. II West
held the six, he would have
played it-rather- than the five
with two hearts; and with three
hearts he would have played the
lower one. Therefore, East with
no qualms could cash his ace of
hearts and give his partner a
ruff.

BLOOD FOR BLOOD DONORS

The Journal Of the American Medical Assooo-
ton hos announced O series Of experiments which
tend toward perfectne the merciful, miraculous
and lifesovne business Of blood donation. Phys.
clans at New York University and the u. S. Public
Health laboratories in New York City have suspend
ed donors red blood cells (which usually wosted)
in dextrose and renjected the solution into the
donors VEINS Thus donors have been obe to give
blood every week for z weeks.
But the experiments ore not SO hopeful they
sound For the new method would require separating
the posn1o from the blood cells at the blood donor
center And this cont be done now, for there ore
only IL laboratories in the country capable OF pro-
cessine blood for the armed forces demonds.
Still, the present lack Of foctes and personnel
do not detroct from the new experiments promise.
" greet need arose, facilities would probably be pro-
vided Meanwhile, it is good to know thot any un-
comfortable ofter-effects of blood donation ore O
step nearer to elimination.

1914 background that sloughs
off the war and tells what hap
pens when members of large
family who have not seen one
another for years decide to hold
a reunion.
Family includes Ma and Pa,
simple and homespun; Amylea,
eldest child who places wealth
and power above her home and
family; Jim, remarked but
troubled by a demanding first
wife; Helga, the successful car
Ger woman; Anna Marie, simple
and loving, yet unhappy; Inge-
e. borg, afraid to face life; and
Carl, who loved too well.
It's a big family, and the
things they do are big and,
paradexieally, trivial It's a
close to- home yarn that finds a
similar situation confronting
many an average family.
HERE'S TO HEALTH
In these days of war, ruckus,
hustle and hustle, irregularities
and pressure, we pay too little
attention to our health. War
plants have realized this ever
since peak production has been
the order, and have attempted in
some measure to relieve pres

grams. However, these don't
get under the second layer.
Will Burnett's book, ITO Live in

This volume deals with per-
sonal care of the health, and not
only discusses various aches and
pains, many OF them occupation

with which you can check your
ailments. These charts also ex-

Hiqh|iqhts from tn : Latest Books

What Russia wants-and does
not want; the probable fate of
Poland and the Baltic States;
Russia stake in the Far East
these are among the thorny and
momentous questions the we'll
known editor and contributor
Joachim JoeSten discusses in his
timely boob, What Russia
Wants DUEL, Sloan & Peace:
$3.50.
Feeling that the man in the
street is willing to concede that
Russias outstanding contrlbu-
ton to victory entities her to a
place at the peace table, yet I
the same time has but hay no
ton of Russia's war aims and
territorial ambitions, the author
seeks first to dispel our UNI
founded convictions that the
Russian government is enigmat-
ic and inconsistent, and that it
seeks to communize the world.
He then lists Stains wants as:
One, restoration of the 194l
frontiers of the U. S. S. r. Two,
peace with security. Three, a
voice in the reorganization Of
Europe.
And can the system of plan
ned Socialist economy coexist
peacefully with the system of
capitalism and private enter
prise? He draws his answer
from a comparison between the
current situation and that which
existed in early Christian times,
when the Christian, after long
and bitter struggles with the
Moslcm, Learned at last to live
peacefully with many faiths
and confessions without a
thought of waging religious war.
CHILLS AND LAUGHS
When you get good mystery

just such thriller and chuckler

You can't begin TO visualize
the connection of Ii stuffed os-
trichcs until you find that the
last one holds an amulet tina,
contains secret list of all fifth

the ostrich that contained the
list has red eyes.
Search for this takes the three
main characters, Stuart Wilmer

Montgomery, a titian-hairec
beauty of extraordinary courage
and Mark Anthony British
pilot. through some of the
queerest adventures ever pen
ned.
There's spell Of suspense
that involves a parade with
Lady Godiva, session with
fortune teller, and a hair brain
cd episode in a rest sanitarium
All through the story there
bounce quaint characters that
lend humor and color. Reminds
you of a Mack Sennett comedy
And the book isn't without ro-
nance.
