. MeKENNEY ON BRIDGE

Howard Schenken. SciisI Aen won two world championships in 1943, the Masters team or- four and the Masters pair and this was the fifth time he had won the world pair title, 8 record that probably will never be equaled. Schenken has long been recognized as one of the out standing players of the world and Is one of the most popular men in bridge. He never. fails to pay his opponents compliment for good bid or nice play.
 You can hardly blame West for doubling the six-heart contract on today's hand and looking at all four hands, 1t does not seem possible that the contract could be made. Schenken (South) won the first spade trick and cashed his ace of trumps, only to get the bad news. A low club was won with dummy's queen, spade ruffed, the ace and king of clubs cashed and three rounds of diamonds, the fourth club being discarded. The fourth diamond was ruffed and a small trump Iceland it was impos- sihle for West to win more than one trump trick.

Martial Singher, French bari tone, made his bow as PelleaS, and his conception of the role proved highly satisfying, both vocally and histrionically. Bidu Sayao, the lovely South American soprano, was hailed as the most appealing Melisande since the days of Lu- creza Bori. Much of the credit for the general excellence of the per- formance was given to the direction of Emil Cooper, who prepared the Chicago presentation of the opera with Mary Garden.
 'The Marriage of Figaro" was notable not only for the individual performances of an exceptionally well-chosen cast, but for the per lection of the ensemble ami the teamwork, which has been an out standing feature all season of the repertory company which General Manager Edward Johnson has built up. Miss Sayao again distinguished herself as Susanna, a sprightly role in such contrast to that of Meli- sande that 1t was an impressive test of her versatility.
 The other principals included Jarmila Novotna, Eleanor Steber, Ira Petina, Marita Farell John Brownless, Ezio Pinza, Salvatore Baccaloni, Alessio de Paolis and John Garris. The conducting of Bruno Walter was inspired and the spirit of the opera was cap tured both on the stage and in the orchestra pit.
 Financially. the season has been more than gratifying to the man. agement, with most performances sold out and standees crowding in as never before. The actual figures

pretty. The alarm clock is 8 com- plicate4 mechanism assembled by highly trained workers, and these are not available. Clock produc- tion facilities have been converted to making military timing and bombing devices, and no present or near-future cut-back in these is seen by the War Production Board. So you may have to organize an alarm clock pool, with one person telephoning others in the group.
 Shortage of scissors is not keep ing people up nights, but it was given a high hardship rating. There is little hope of relief at present. Scissors manufacturers say they could not use more material if avail able. They are producing at top speed for military uses in rubber boats, parachutes, first aid kits, and surgical instruments.
 MORE SAFETY PINS
 Safety pins, you will not be amaz- ed to learn, were not found by a large number of shoppers. Two thirds of those who did buy them were dissatisfied. For this item, however, production was boosted to a new high in the last quarter of 1943. The plan is to keep produc- tion in 1944 up to 1941 levels. If baby production doesn't exceed the estimated g per cent increase over 1940, there should be enough safety pins to go around for thrifty usage, but no abundance. The use of some brass to make sturdier pins has been recommended but not ap- proved.
 The man who could make a bet ter pot-scourer without metal would have his door beaten in by the army of housewives who could not find metal ones and were dissatis- fled with substitutes.
 Electric light bulbs were found by most people who wanted to buy them. but there was some trouble getting customary sizes. This, however, was not rated a matter of, great concern and production of g. wide variety of bulb sizes will probably have to wait.

- WE, THE WOMEN - TOO MANY FRIENDS SPOIL SERVICEMAN'S FURLOUGH

man sent home on furlough from abroad should never lose sight of the fact that it is the mans fur tough, not his family's, and that during it, nothing matters except that he gets out of his furlough just what he wanted.
 His family shouldn't say, even to his oldest friends: You must drop by and see Bill.'' They should wait and find out whether Bill wants to see people.
 And they shouldn't let their na- tural politeness keep them from holding at a distance all the peo- pie he doesn't want to spend time on.
 Nor should Mama say, when Bill says he doesn't want to get up and talk to the women's club, Please, Bill. It would make me so happy. Why, I'd be so terribly proud of you.'
 DONTS TO REMEMBER
 Having to make a speech might very well ruin Bills whole furlough.
 Nor should there be a lot of talk of all that Bills family has gone through worrying about him. He'll know without being told they have worried plenty.
 And such talk as q don't see how I can stand having you go away again" will just make his go- ing that much harder for him.
 Families are going to have to be unselfish, thoughtful and consider ate-if the long-awaited furloughs servicemen receive are to be as they dreamed they would be.

 New York.-Color as bright as blossoms na seed catalog drama tizes spring coats, is tonic for your spirits, and merges the town and the sports coat into one all- purpose 1914 wrap.
 Seed catalog flowers give coat colors their names. For instance, there are portulacca pink, African violet, coquete rose, nasturtium red, New England lilac, marigold and other floral contenders for spring fashion honors.
 If you stoutly resist color, pro- testing that it advances to meet the eye and magnif1es size you can take it in small roses, as trimming on a coat; as a coat lining where color can be Haunted with safety on the inside. One of the smartest coats of the season is black, highlighted with gold cuffs, pencil-line of gold pip ing across the shoulders, and a blaze of gold used for lining.
 Style honors in coats are about equally divided between the short and full the long and clim. Pop ular "half-coats' are the collarless mandarin, side-slit and stripped of clutter, but amply compensated with elegant silky cording; the club collared baby balmacaan in brilliant shades quieted with black military braid; the swing-ba coat which makes up in jaunty fullness what it lacks in length; the short Chester field, the ueajacket, the jigger.
 In long fitted coats new styles favor the dressmaker, which looks like coat dress and is, if you want it to be; the reefer, feminized with a lowered nipped-in waistline; the officers type coat which is as swag- ger as ever but has new details like peplum-swung patch pockets, a half belt which makes a midiff slim and

reporters be given direct access to
government news now handled by
"a veritable horde of press agents"
CALLS FOR AMENDMENT
David Lawrence, newspaper COL
umnist an6 magazine editor, in an
address to the society, proposed that
a new constitutional amendment be
adopted to safeguard more explicit
ly the freedom of the press and
other meciums of expression. He
said the present constitutional
clause has been nullified by the
courts.
The principal resolution said the
society was conscious that a con-
stantly widening area of freedom

1t urged international agreements
permitting direct communication

moving restrictions imposed for
