Millhouser allowed the OPEN

second diamond trick with the

bad heart break. At this point,
Millhouser led the eight of

he ran the club suit. On the ten
of clubs he discarded a diamond

carded the king of spades. The
queen of spades was then cashed

NURSE
BY Iona L. TROTT
Written for NEA Service

A woman who establishes a
reputation as good home
nurse is likely to be very much
in demand among her family and
friends who are having new
babies in these days of crowded
hospitals. Nevertheless. it is a
serious responsibility to take
care of a mother during her ly-
ing-in period. The most scrupu-
lous cleanliness must be observ-
ed in giving nursing care to
guard against the possibilities of
infection.
The home nurses hands should
be washed with soap and water
before and after she gives any
kind of care to. the mother.
Before the baby nurses for the
first time the mothers nipples
should be washed with soap and
water, and following that with
clear water. They should be
washed with clean boiled water
after each nursing, dried care
fully with cotton, and protected
with sterile gauze, or a piece of
clean soft linen placed inside the
brassiere.
The nipples should be watched
closely for signs of irritation or
breaks in the skin. These should
be reported promptly to the doc
tor and treated as carefully as
any open wound. The baby's
mouth should not come in con-
tact with a cracked nipple. The
physician may advise the use of
nipple shields to protect the nip
Piles. If so, these may be
bought at the drugstore. The
old-fashoned lead nipple shield,
however, has been found to be
dangerous and should not be
used.
II the baby cannoet nurse with
the nipple shield, 1t may be nee
cessary to express the milk by
hand and feed it to the baby.
This Is a very particular tech
nique, however, and since the
breasts are easily bruised, the
home nurse should not attempt
to do this without the doctors in
structions.
II the congestion of the breasts
at first causes them to be painful,
an ice bag will usually bring re-
lief. This congestion should
disappear after q few days when
the baby is strong enough to
nurse vigorously. II II contin-
ues longer than q day or two, il
should be brought to the atten-
ton Of the physician.

Surrender on Demand" by
Varian Fry (Random House: So
is the authors stirring account
of his activities with the Emer-
gency Rescue Committee, which
for two years helped refugees
out of German occupied France.
Late in 1910 MIR. Fry came to
France with list of names
political and intellectual refu-
gees recommended for aid.
Not long after his office ws<
opened, that list swelled beyond
all recognition. Refugees of all
types who had heard of 1.-The
rich American who can get vises
in no time at all" swamped Fry,
and he was soon up to his neck
in intrigue and danger as well.
Confidential talks were held
in the bathroom with all taps
running, because the sound of
the water literally drowned out
their voices to- any hidden die
taphone. Reports were snug
gled in toothpaste tubes. An
artist was secured who could
forge the rubber stamps on pass
ports.
For time it was possible TO
get refugees across the Spanish
border; then the border was
closed. A ship was chartered
to take them 70 Gibraltar; the
captain pocketed the money and
skipped out. The difficulties
were innumerabler but Fry new
crtheless helped doctors, paint
ers, writer's (the Mann and Wer-
fel families included) and teach
ers escape the Gestapo. The
book is adventurous, highly ex-
citing, told in dry, mat,er-of
fact way viii ch somehow
heightens the suspense.

LET'S FINISH THE JOB

The lost OF the War Loan drives = me VICtO'y
Loan - will be held throughout the nation, Oct. -
to Dec g. In contrast to seven preceding drives II
corres q unique appeal. Thew orId is at peace ond
the specific ureencies Of the solicitation deol with
the maintenance and enhancement Of thot Peooe.
The war loans we're essential to successes in the
field, and this SINGLE peocetnne loan is equally vitoI
if we are to enjoy the frution Of our victory.
In previous campaigns have been told thot
dollars meant guns Tanks planes and ships. Had
security permitted we might have learned that our
money also wos being invested in the development
and perfection Of an atomic bomb These tangible,
highly destructive products required huge sums OF
money and yet it natural for the public to per-
ceive their worth.
The nation realized that our forces could not
pulverze industrial cities from the air. carry on tre-
mendous military operations on land and Portici-
pate unprecedented omphibious and oeistc oP-
erotions at SEQ without the otzeny footing the bill.
The response indicates how fully the public oppreci-
oted these focts The quota for all seven drives was
approximately sos billion; toto soIes exceeded Sl35
billion. No drive foi|ed all oversubscribed.
Our purchase Of Victory Bonds in this final cam
poen represents in every sense on investment in
the peace. he goal OF Sl billion which the lreos-
ury has set. So billion less than the Seventh War
Loan quote. will provide funds for veteran rehobi-
toton and care Of the wounded for the accelerated
rehabilitation Of our Army and Navy for troop re-
depIoynent to this country. for the maintenance Of
ornnies Of occupation and for the conversion to
peooetne economy. These things do not come cheap
ly. Yet cannot offord to stop otter financing the
forces Of destruction and in so doing overlook the
obstructive elements Of victory.
More than 80 million Americans own war bonds,
and it seems almost superfuous to reiterote the
myriad advantages gained by their purchase. The
public knows there is better investment. 1t op-
preciotes that buying Victory Bonds todoyp rovides
security for the future. And since present figures
indicate that this year there will be about $40 bill
lion more income than there will be goods and
ices to spend it - which is called the nfotonoy
gap the restraints initiation resulting from in
.vestnaent in Victory Bonds are obvious.
The nation is in q period Of great tronsiton from
war to peace. BY unity and soorfoe we have won
the most devastating conflict in world history. 1t is
unthinkobIe thot we will compromise or dilute our
victory now by foiling to sacrifice for peace.
