3 MeKENNEY oN BRIDGE
BY WILLIAM E. MCKINNEY America's Card Authority

The fourth member of my All- American Team of 1914 is B. J. Becker of Cavendish Club of New York. Becker was 8 member of win ming Vanderbilt Knockout team and the Worlds Championship Masters team. He also finished second in the National Open Board Match team event.
 Becker is probably the most care- full player in bridge and I cannot help but repeat remark he has become famous for: "Carelessness is a definite weakness in players game. A fine player never makes careless mistake"
 Becker was one of the first play CTS to use and develop the suit directing convention. Here is nice example of it.
 When Becker's partner opened the deuce of hearts, Becker knew that lead was made asking for club return, Becker was careful to re- turn the three of clubs, showing his partner the ace of diamonds, so when North ruffed the club, he returned the diamond and Becker gave his partner another club ruff. thus defeatin gthe contract.

and towns of australia, England, France, and 50 onr
 It looks, the way things stand now, aS though all the odds are against the American wife or fiancee
 The men can marry overseas and get their wives back to Am :rica. But if they are married or engaged to American girls, the men know that the women can't follow them, but must stay put for the duration. WANT FAIR BREAK
 And that is beginning to make American women feel they aren't getting 8 fair break.
 Every time the papers carry story about how important it Is for American girls to walt for their men overseas I get a stack of letters complaining about all the men who arc marrying abroad.
 And why not--when 1t Is so much more convenient? G. l. Joe marries & girl in Australia, lives with her there until he is sent home and then has her come to America. But If he marries an American girl and then gets shipped overseas for two of three years, he has to leave his wife behind.
 To women the Congressman's s proposal makes sense.

 The sense of taste Is not highly developed when the baby is small, so he does not obpect to taking cod liver oil. As Q matter of fact he us- ually learns to like 1t, an das he gets older will often beg for more.
 USE DROPPER FOR OIL
 The physician usually orders small doses of oil to begin with and increases the dose gradually 30 as to avoid upsetting the baby's dlges- tor You can measure and give the oil with a medicine dropper with a blunt rounded end 80 that there will be no danger of hurting the baby's mouth. First drop the oil in a warm teaspoon, then draw 1t back into the dropper, insert the dropp.r in the corner of the baby's mouth while he is nursing, and expel the oil. He will take 1t without knowing 1t. When the baby is older and take' the oil in larger doses, given from teaspoon, 1t is not advisable to pu> il in the feeding bottle, because 1t may affect the baby's taste for his milk It is a good plan to give the oil tc the older baby just before his batf anc after his clothes are removed Then if some is spilled his clothes will not become stained.

Extra Revenue Measure Adds Case Tax and Ups
 Trap Licenses

To the tune of an estimated half million dollars during the coming biennium, the Territorial Senate put the bee" on the canned salmon industry again yesterday afternoon.
 Facing an expanded need for revenue to carry some of the bu- reaus that have been added by the current Legislature, and with no big pay-off in sight from the dor mant mining industry, the Sen aters dug as deep as they felt they could go into the cannery operators pockets-levying new case tax and tipping trap license fees
 The uncertain future of other revenue measures now before the Legislature was emphasized when the Senate dug into the Taxation Committee files to bring out Senate Bill No. 53, introduced by Senator Howard Lpng quite some time ago and all but forgotten Senator lyngs original measure provided only for case taxes of cents on King and Red Salmon, and 4 cents OF pinks, and only for one year l945. Yesterday, however, the Sen- ate Finance Committee pulled out the cid trap licensing law and did a re-furbishing job on it by means oi amendments to Senate Bill 53 Where the case taxes are only temporary, the license fee increases are provided as permanent legisla- tion.
 According to the Finance Con- mittee amendments, adopted by the Senate before it passed the measure by IS to l count, Senator Joe Green dissenting; the license fee on hand-driven or stake traps would be raised from $50 to STE per year; pile-driven or floating traps from s200 to $500, includine dummy traps" the levy on eacr 1000 salmon caught by a single trap over 100000 would be in. creased from s2 to $4 The bil carries an emergency clause.
