STRIKES:
Plague Officials

With the victory in Europe remov-
ing previous restraint, the wave OF
strikes sweeping the country has
taxed the resources of the U. S.
Cancellation service and War Labor
board, and created anxiety among
government officials concerning pro-
duction for the Pacific war.
As the officials looked to Pres
ident Truman and Secretary
Of Labor Lewis B. Schwellen-
bach to correct the situation,
latest reports put the total Of
idle at $1,000. Though the num-
ber of requests for strike votes
had been rising since March,
actual walkouts were checked
until We Day.
Wages have not been as important
a factor in the strikes as union rival
ry and struggle for leadership In the
unions themselves, officials said.
Another source Of unrest has been
unsettled grievances in war plants,
with workers striking to force action.
TRANSPORT RISE
Total volume of freight and pas
senger transportation Of all types of
carriers has shown a steady expan-
sion during the war period, rising in
1914 to the highest level on record.
Airplane transportation showed
the greatest increase during this
period, rising 421.4 per cent. While
railroad traffic increased 171.4 per
cent; pipelines, 1877 per cent; mo-
tor trucks, 1885 per cent. The
gains made by these carriers more
than Offset a curtailment Of 1913
per cent in water transport.

Waterfowl Drop

According to estimates of DR..
Ira N. Gabrielson, chief of the
U. S. Fish and Wildlife service,
the waterfowl population of the
U. S. stands at 105 million. This
is approximately 20 million less
than the 1914 figure.
The apparent decrease may
not be exact, DR.. Gabrielson
points out, as the population
may have been overestimated in
1914.

POLAND:
NetU Government

With the formation of new gov
ernment designed to be repre-
sentative of the whole country, the
troublesome Polish question ap-
peared resolved, thus removing
bone of contention between the Al
lies.
Including political leaders who
had fled abroad as well as those
who had remained behind or found
sanctuary with the Russians, the
new regime is based on the
Moscow sponsored Warsaw provi-
sional government to assure the
Reds of friendly buffer to west
ern Europe.
Though U. S. and British recogni-
tion of the new regime loomed, the
Polish government in exile in Lon
don assailed it as a "self-appointed
political body composed of COM
munists and foreign agents" AS
long as the Red army and police
occupy Poland no freedom can ex-
ist, the exiles said.

PERSIAN WILD GOAT.
(Cdpa deqagruS.)

tCdpd degdgTuS.J
Persian wild goats are said to be
the direct ancestors of the various
breeds of domestic goats.
The male is characterized by long,
Sclmltarllke horns, some measuring
40 inches along the curve. There
are irregular prominenceS and
notcheS on the surface, and the tips
are usually turned inward
The Persian goat enjoys an extern
slve range, even today. At one time
it was widely distributed over the
Grecian Archipelago. In Europe, e
is now found in large number only
IN Crete and the Antimelo in the
Cyclades. Eastward, it is found in
the mountains and hills of Asia
Minor, in the Taurus range and
through Persia into Baluchistan,
SIND and Afghanistan. In India, its
range does not go beyond the west
ern side of Sind
/ During the winter. the hair on
the neck and shoulders grows much
thicker than on the remainder of
the body. In the coldest parts of
| their range, the goats have an
| under-fur that is thick and woolly.
The general color of the upper parts
is brownish gray in summer and a
less easily seen shade, or a more
yellowish with rufous brown, in
winter
The older bucks wear a stripe
down their backs. The tail, chin.
throat, beard and front of the legs,
with the exceptions of the knees,
are a dark brown. The beard is
rather heavy.
Sentinel duty is sacred trust.
faithfully performed, according to
seniority in reverse from the way
we know it. The youngest trust,
worthy male does early morning
duty; the last sentinel is the oldest
buck.

Take My Word for 1t
the side
BY FRANK COLBY
It's Hard to Believe.

The most incredible word in the
English language is the word Mrs
To begin with, it has the general
meaning OF wife Of although lit
orally it is the abbreviation for the
word mistress a designation which
implies no marital status and is
simply the feminine form of mis-
ter.
However. Mrs. is not pronounced
mistress" The correct pronun-
citation is ''missez" OF exactly like
the pronunciation of the word
misses" which is the plural form
of miss
Also, and this is the most surpris-
ing fact of all, it is impossible to
use the title Mrs. in the plural! For
example, one may list two or more
unmarried women thus: The Misses
Jones, Smith, and Brown. But one
does not write, The Mrs. Green,
White, and Black" Even if such
a form were used, The Mrs and
The Misses" could not be told apart

Opening lead: Jack of clubs.
In tournament play, contestants
in striving for maximum will at
times subject themselves to risks
that would be unthinkable in rubber
bridge. In playing for currency.
when 1000 or more points are
waiting to be plucked, only the safest
contract should be considered and
no f1eeting thought given to such
minor considerations as the cashing
of honors or the scoring of few
additional points by playing at no.
trump. But in duplicate, where each
deal constitutes match in itself, 10
points may spell the difference be-
tween winning the hand or losing it.
Today's hand illustrates the point.
South abandoned complete safety in
the seven-club contract in favor OF
trying for the maximum score which
"a no-trump slam would yield. 1t
will be seen that fulfilment of a con-
tract of seven clubs required no more
talent than the ability to reach
across the table and pick up Is
tricks, whereas considerable agility
was required in scoring the 13 tricks
at the higher ranking contract.
The bidding was logical enough.
After North's response of one heart
South elected to insist upon a game
contract by jumping in a new suit.
North could have bid a slam in
clubs at once, but decided TO elicit
further information from partner
by mere single raise. When South
showed the ace of spades, North de-
cided to go the limit. South's shift
TO no-trump was not induced by any
fear of the club suit itself, but the
desire to obtain maximum.
The jack Of clubs was opened as
safety measure by West. II top
card tricks were in sight, with two
chances for the 18th, the fall of the
jack of hearts and the fnesse of the
queen OF spades. The king of hearts
was cashed, dummy was entered
With a club and the hearts tested.
When East showed out on TIE third
lead of the suit, declarer returned to
his hand with a club and ran off
the three top diamonds, discarding
two hearts and spade from
dummy.
West failed on the third round
and every ones hand was open to a
perfect count. West has shown four
hearts, two diamonds and two clubs.
he must therefore have five spades,
while East had but three. This made
it more probable that West had the
king OF spades, so the declarer
changed his mind about trying the
spade flnesse. Instead he ran down
all his clubs and at the end m
ORDER 10 keep the jack of hearts to
cover dummys ten, West was Obliged
tn discard the ten of spades. This
permitted declarer to pick up the
last two tricks with the ace and
the queen
