WE, THE WOMEN Public Should Control SurIy
 Service By Refusing To Tip
WE, THE WOMEN

lie is having to put up with a lot of rudeness and take-it-or-leave-it treatment that is entirely uncalled for-even in war time.
 And they'll continue to put up with it, unless they voice their pro- test. And what better way to start than to scale their tips according to how curteously or discourteously they are treated, leaving nothing at all for the person who is complete ly disinterested or insulting. JUST DESERTS
 For such means of protest to be effective the public would have to stick together, of course. If only an occasional person voices his pro- test by walking out without a tip the offending worker would just say, Another crank"
 But if the tips stopped coming discourteous help would get the point and come down off their high horse.
 The public deserves sloppy ser- vice and discourtesy if 1t is meek vice submissive enough to con- tinue to tip those who dish 1t out.

, MeKENNEY oN BRIDGE s..4szaa
BY WILLIAM E. MCKINNEY America's Chard Authority

Many players in the south will be pleased to know that the South ern Appalachian sectional tourna- ment will be reinstated in Asheville, N. O., this year. Sam D. Holt, the chairman, who is confined most of the time to the Veterans Hospital at Oteen, N. c. hopes to be well enough to be on hand to greet his many bridge friends August 25 to 27.
 Here is an interesting hand that saw Sam play at the Southern Appalachian tournament few years ago. He was presented with an interesting problem as soon as North, his partner, responded to his opening bid with two diamonds. Sam felt sure that he and his part ner could make a game, and there were definite chances of a slam if North held first or second round control of spades.
 On the other hand, East and west, not vulnerable, might easily have a paying save at six spades. The bid of the void club suit on the second round was planned to induce East and West to believe

COLONEL HAS
 EYE ON FUTURE OF THE WACS
BY s. '. WOOLF NEA Staff Correspondent

London, June g .-- This is the story of . schoolmarm who has be- come Q lieutenant colonel under whose charge some 4000 American girls are working side by side with top Army tacticians in plotting air assaults, reporting weather, map ping enemy terraan and keeping abreast of the mountainous pile of paper work connected with the in- vasion.
 When Anna Walker Wilson ar- rived here as Q WAC captain a little over a year ago there was not an enlisted WAC in London. Now no matter whore you go, from Su- preme Headquarters all the way down the line, you will see khaki clad young women. And the respon- sibility for their "care, welfare and utilization" rests upon this efficient staff director.
 "They are doing @ swell job and they are having fine time," said the lieutenant colonel as she posed for Q drawing. We had sneaked away from her office to the musty English living room filled with shaky French furniture to avoid constant interruptions. for she is one of those officers who is never too busy to see anyone.
 Despite the silver leaves on her shoulders and the brass buttons on her uniform this young Califor- nian is not entangled in red tape. Nor has teaching dulled her sense of humor. Always ready for laugh, quick at repartee, she hides her seriousness behind light manner. There is a twinkle lurk- ing in her brown eyes surmounted by arched dark eyebrows, eyebrows which seem all the darker in con- trast to her premoturely graying hair.
 But the smile disappeared from her mouth as she spoke of the work the WACS are doing over here:
 We have young women from every walk of life and from all parts of the country and have yet to find one who is sorry that she join cd up. Women are more serious by nature than men and I have not met the WAC who is not conscious of the responsibility which rests up- on her.
 Naturally my chief concern is the work they are doing in many posi- tions once filled by men. But am also vitally interested in the broad ening of their outlook on life. When they had time they travelled about, became acquainted with English families. Others-some 30 of them have married; many to old sweet hearts whom they ran into acci- dentally over here"
 But Colonel Wilson, though she seems to be up to her ears in in- vasicn activity, has her eyes not only on the present. The war will not last forever, and she is busy on plans to look after her charges when they return to civilian life.
 Born in Tulare, Calif., she is the descendant of a family of pioneers who made the trip to Utah with the MoVmons. She attended Pomona College, received her M. A. from Claremont, took further postgrad- uate work at the University of Cali fornia, majoring in education.
 A short married life ended with the accidental death of her hus- band. She was teaching in the

Prickly heat usually can be pre- vented by frequent bathing, and by keeping the skin as dry and as cool as possible. Only lightweight cloth ing should be worn, and tight bands, rough seams and stiffiy starched clothing should be avoided. Babies should wear nothing but diapers in very hot weather.
 USE SODA SOLUTION
 Frequent sponging of the affect- ed parts with cool water, and the application of @ solution of baking soda and water are simple and effective relief measures. Pat the soda solution on with a pledget of cotton and allow 1t to dry. Tn ex- treme cases the application of a paste of soda and water may bring greater relief.
 Do not continue to use a hand kerchief that has become soaked with precipitation as a mop for the face and neck. This increases the irritation of the skin.
 Any good talcum powder, or one of several popular baby pow ders. used after the bath in the areas most likely to be irritated Is helpful. Do not apply so much powder that 1t cakes in the skin folds and holds the moisture. This only aggravates the condition. Dust on just enough to make the skin feel dry and smoth, and brush of the excess.
 A small cheesecloth bag filled with fine laundry starch and tied securely makes a good dusting pad to be used after the bath, to soothe and dry the skin.

FRANK r. KENT: "The state ol

ion, confusion and feebleness with
in the administration that those
who insist that this is the worst
muddle since the war began do not

Such indictments by experts
tend to confirm millions of patrio-
tic citizens in the conclusion they
have reached that the New Deal
administration should be retired.
Their sentiments were echoed in a
significant editorial announcement
in the widely circulated Saturday

minStration. The Post does not
subscribe to the doctrine that any
one man, or group ofemen, is indis-
pensable to our national welfare.

the solution of world problems af-

the New Deal has been too long
in power; that it has grown arrOg-
ant; that its policies of unlimited
spending and unlimited bureau
oracy eventually would lead to the
destruction of democratic govern
ment; that its constant encroach-
ment on individual freedom and
private enterprise is a growing
threat to the American way of
