semi-political, financial and insur-
ance legislation.
Wallace Curb sos
Passed by the senate, the bill re-
moving the Reconstruction Finance
corporation, with it's vast loaning
powers, from the U. S. department of
commerce and Liberal Henry A.
Wallace's reach if appointed secre-
tary of that office, went up before
the house.
In addition to stripping Wallace Of
authority over RFC funds, which
conservatives feared he might use
for promotion of plans for govern
ment spending to provide ''full en-
ployment," house Republicans
sought to remove the secretary of
commerce from the board of the
700 million dollar export-import
bank, used to finance foreign bust
ness.
World Finance
Up prominently for congressional
consideration was the administra-
tion-backed Breton Woods postwar
world financial agreement, under
which the U. S. would contribute
about 6 billion dollars for two funds:
~ to provide countries with for
eign exchange at par rather than
open-market value to stimulate their
purchasing powers, and (2) to guar
antee private loans made to coun-
tries to help build up their econo-
mics.
In asking for congressional ap-
prevail of the Breton Woods agree
ments, President Roosevelt said
they were the first step in broad
program for International economic
cooperation, also including an Allied
food and agriculture organization,
expansion of the reciprocal trade
act of 1884, reduction of trade bar
riers and orderly marketing of GER
tain world SURPRISES.
Insurance
Continued state supervision of in
surance companies, but with strict
er control in harmony with federal
antitrust laws, was promised in
congressional approval of legislation
postponing antimonopoly prosecu-
ton against such businesses for
three years and allowing states that
time to set up tighter reulations.
Brought to a head by recent
Supreme court decision declar-
ing insurance companies subject to
antitrust laws, the question of fed
eral control over the business drew
little support from congress, with
legislators contending that the indi-
vidual states were best qualified to
regulate the matter according to
their particular requirements.

Europe, the Big Three also moved
toward maintenance of such an or
der by further discussion of steps
on a postwar international security
organization, with the talks at Yalta
designed to meet Russian objections
to the Dumbarton Oaks plans for
prohibiting any nation charged with
aggression from voting on meas
ures to bring it in line.
Overwhelming agreement was
reached on treatment for a defeated
Reich, with Messrs. Roosevelt,
Churchill and Stain determined to
crush German militarism by dis
solution of the wehrmacht, break
up of it's general staff, elimination Of
all industry that could be used for
war production, and complete eradi-
cation of all Nazi and Junker influ-
ences in the nations life.
Further, Germany would be made
to pay for war damage, with an
Allied commission set up in Moscow
determining on the extent of repara-
tons, probably in terms of man.
power and goods.
Allies Aduance
With their hopes of an Allied divi-
sion blasted at Yalta, and with the
combined weight Of the U. S., Brit
ain and Russia drawn up against
them, the Germans Unanswered in
both the west and east for a last
ditch struggle.
In the east, so-called "alarm
units" and the peoples army"
were thrown into breaches to hold
open avenues Of retreat for German
forces falling back from Silesia to
Saxony as the Russians drove on this
all-important Nazi industrial dis
trict. As the Reds pushed ahead,
one wing of this offensive nosed
northwestward toward Berlin, sore
ly pressed by a frontal assault of
Marshal Zhukov's forces.
In the west, the Germans fought
hard to thwart the Canadian and
British attempt to turn their far
northern flank, drive into the indus
trial Ruhr and trap Nazi forces
guarding the Rhineland from the
rear.
WAR COSTS
With this war costing the world
some 5000 billions year, or more
than $500 millions a day, in direct
military expenditures alone, the an
nual expenditure is roughly equal
to the whole direct. cost of the First
World war, estimated at 5000 bill
lions by the Carnegie Endowment
for International Peace.
Staggering though these figures
are, they do not include indirect
costs Of war, such as the value Of
human life lost, property destruc-
finn ctr.

JADE.
By LILLIAN COX ATHEY

| jade is a name applied to two
very dissimilar kinds of fine-grained
metamorphic rocks. Both are ex-
ceedlngly tough, making excellent
material for elaborate carving.
During the bronze and stone ages,
these rocks were fashioned into
crude weapons, tools and objects of
ornamentation.
Strangely enough, while jade i'm
plements made by primitive man
have been found throughout the
world, there are only two regions
where the stone has been given a
place of honor for special ornamen-
tai purposes.
In parts of tropical South America
I-Yucatan, Guatemala, Panama,
Costa Rica, Colombia, Southern
Mexico and perhaps Ecuador and
Peru-the natives had many beau
tifully carved objects which were
used as ancient jewelry. Today,
there are no known deposits OF
either jadeite or nephrite in any
of these countries.
Nephrite is often considered the
true jade. When highly polished,
it has waxy luster and is family
translucent. Jadeite is harder and
heavier than nephrite, but this does
not interfere with carving.
The Chinese are responsible for
the jades place of honor in the
world. To them. it symbolized i'm
mortality. At first, only geometric
designs were used Then almost
every form of life was used to SYM
bolize immortality. Butterflies Of
white jade became especially popu-

| Opening lead, king of spades.
| There is no good defense against
tornado, but proper precaution will
safeguard you against the ravages Of
gale. At the bridge table there are
certain unfortunate distributions
which no amount of skill can over
come. These must be charged up to
bad weather. But there are a great
number of bad breaks which. if
proper precautions are taken, can
readily be surmounted.
, 1t is sound principle OF card
playing, that the use of ones high
cards should be delayed until one of
the opponents has been obliged to
play first. In this way, it is fire.
quently possible to avoid having your
high cards ruffed.
South, the declarer in todays
hand, appears to have grasped that
principle, but not to its full extent.
The final contract of six hearts was
ultraconservative The odds strong
ly favored the fulillment of a grand
slam contract, which on North's bid
ding, South might have reached for.
Every one of his cards is known to
be key card which looked at in
that light, renders his hand as the
equal of an opening bid in high
cards. His partner has opened the
bidding and not only jumped, but
made what We might call a super
jump. This makes the slam moral
certainty.
The king of spades was opened and
taken with the ace Before drawing
any trumps, South quite properly led
Ia diamond to the king. He then
took the precaution of entering
dummy with club in order to lead
another diamond This was a safety
measure against East having no more
OF the suit, so that if he ruffed, South
could play low diamond instead of
the ace. However, West ruffed the
ace OF diamonds and returned a
trump. This left declarer with three
losing diamonds and only two trumps
with which to handle them. so that
he was down one on the hand.
While this was concededly an un-
fortunate break, nevertheless de-
clarer did not take full precaution-
ary measures. Had he contracted
Tor grand slam he would, of course,
nave been obliged to play the hand
IN that manner. But since he had
BID only six. he should have been
satisfied to forgo the luxury of an
oVertrlck in order to insure the con-
tract This could be done by con-
ceding diamond trick to the oppo-
sition. But the important point is to
let them have low diamond trick
and not one of the high honors. The
suref1re play when the king Of dia-
monds wins the first trick in that
suit is to give the enemy a small
diamond trick. Their best defense
is to return trump. but now de-
clarer has only two diamond losers
and still two trumps in dummy with
which to take care of them. True
enough, this requires a bit of far
slghtedness, but farsightedness often
pays off.
Had his hand been played in
duplicate, no question could be raised
as TO the soundness of declarer's
play. The chances were so distinctly
In his favor as to justify his attempt
to make seven, even though it failed.

Take Ny Word for 1t
What Is the Origin?

Recently discussed the generally
accepted theory that the expression.
Watch your P's and Q's" grew out
of the tally of pints and quarts con-
sumed by patrons of the old-time
taverns. They were warned to
watch their P's (pints) and Q's
(quarts) lest they be charged for
more than they actually had drunk.
Now comes a printer friend with a
far more logical theory, and I am
inclined to accept it as the true
origin.
Before the invention of the Limo
type, all type was hand-set, even for
the columns of newspapers.
Now, loose type is kept in cases

boxes" each of which holds a sup
ply of "a's, BIS, c's," etc. The upper
case holds the capital letters and
the lower case holds the small let
ters. Holding the composing stick
in his left hand, the printer selects
each character and sets the line of
type backward, for to him the type

looks as If it were viewed in a mir

ror.
Since the lower case "p" looks to
the printer exactly like % and vice
versa, apprentices charged with the
return of the type to the case. would
naturally place the "p's" in the %
box and the "q's" where the "p's"
belonged. thus pieing the type, to
the chagrin of the next printer to
use the case.
Hence, ink-smeared printers dev-
lis were constantly threatened with
mayhem if they failed to watch
their "p's' and "q's."
