Mrs. Sobel and MT. Silidor, in the second qualifying round, had one of the largest percentage ever turned in in a national event. The bidding and making Of a slam on this hand helped their score lot. The opening lead was helpful. as he now didn't have to guess the lo- cation, Of the spade ace. West made a very good defensive play by jump. ing right up with the ace of spades and returning the deuce of dta. monds. However, Silidor decided that he was being put on the spot and elected to take the diamond finesse ct once. Of course, when tho queen held, there was nothing to the hand, as the other losing dia- mond could be discarded on the King of clubs.

WE, THE WOMEN
War Shortages Hit Women

lad babies. And when manufacture of such things as gas stoves, electric ice boxes and vacuum cleaners was stopped, women were hit, not the men.
 MOTHER SUFFERS MOST
 It Isn't even the baby who suffers because of diaper shortage, the scarcity of baby clothes, the near imposSibility of getting his name on Q diaper service It's his mother who has to wash every day and trudge from store to store looking for his needs.
 And what luxury have men given up during wartime that means as much to them hs the lack of sheer well fitting, hattering stockings means to women?
 For that matter, who cans the produce from victory gardens and who has taken on the family wash ing and ironing because of inade- quate laundry service?
 It's the women, of course. And most O. the wartime shortages, sub stitutions, and regulations have hit them harder than the men

 the chances are you blame the fuel ration board for 1t, for getting that it's been like that every winter for years unless you pushed the thermostat too high for comfort around the midsection,. Dever insists that the ration board is innocent.
 He ought to know because, as vice. president in charge of en- gineering for the Minneapolis Honeywell Regulator Go. he has been studying the problems of home heating for many years. This year with control he calls "moduhow," he thinks he has the biggest prob- lem licked.
 Breaks Up Layers

During the of period the air in a room strait fles and you have an upside down layer cake too hot at ceiling level, about right in the middle and down right frosty at the bottom, where your feet rest and the kids play.
 We knocked this on the head with modufiow. which is a system of heating controls to break up the Stratincation by sending an even constant flow of heat into the liv- ing quarters, gauged to the tenn 1 perature you want,
 Otherwise, though automatic heat Is Q wonderful bother-saVer 1t really gives you alternate periods of too much and too little worth"
 Dever explained that these al- ternate periods result from what heating engineers call Tag" inher- ent in all automtaic heating sys- tens. When the thermostat calls for heat from the basement, 1t takes time for the heating plant to send It's heat upstairs to the radiator or warm air register, and still more time for the heat to permeate the room and eventually reach the ther- mostat During thls lag period the room continues to cool
 Reversing the process, Dever continued, after the satisfied ther- HlOSJhb Ilhb JOIu tlc HehJlIlB pIhll' to stop the flow of heat 1t will take time because the heat which hai accumulated in the pipes or ducts has to go some place. It goes to the radiators or registers and continues to pour into the room, overheatinO it.

 "The body can adjust itself te low or high temperatures within a rather wide range provided the temperature is steady" he explained but the ups and downs make us uncomfortable. The obvious answer would be to keep the flow of heat Into 6 room constant, just circuln- into c room constant, just enough to balance the constant heat loss through walls, windows, doors and the like.

Truman,S Ace
.IntheHOle

DRESIDENT HARRY S. TRUMAN is known among his
l. friends at Washington good poker player. Ac-
cordingy when he faces Stain and Churchill Berlin
this month"; he should recognize the value of keeping
in the hole.
Such an attitude would run counter to the suggestion
that the Senate in auditing monumental innovation
as the world security league being formulated at San
Francisco should rush the matter through so that Pres
dent Truman enter the Big Three meeting with Senate
ratification in his vest pocket.
Likewise the rush, rush attitude toward the Breton
Woods agreements, reciprocal tariffs, and repeal of the
Johnson Act does not conform with the philosophy of
Yankee trading.
AS common sense Mssouran President Truman
should recognize the value of letting other countries feel
that international aid from will be contingent the
adoption of policies Of justice and fairness which square
with the American conscience.
In the circumstances, there appears to be much
homey wisdom in the observance by George Rothwel
Brown, political columnst for the Hearst newspapers
who recently said regarding pending legislation:
IF Congress in a wiser mood it would refrain
from action on ALL THREE OF THESE MEASURES,
we'll the San Francisco agreement, until AFTER 1T
HAS BEEN FULLY INFORMED TO the agreements
reached at the July meeting between Truman, Churchill
and Stain.
To grant all this vast power in advance, including
the ratification of the Francisco agreement would be
to buy pig in the poke
OUCH sensible trading approach all the more logical
- since the United States is most unsefsh in inter-
national affairs, wanting only international justice, good
faith and the spirit of humanity.
In the circumstances not to every device to sup
port the American position is to default extraor
dinary opportunity for service to all humanity.
1t would be sheer weakness to commit the United
States in advance and give the two participants in the Big
Three conference the idea that Uncle Sam is in the bag
and that no concessions need be made his humane and
civilized viewpoint.
AS sef-made and middle westerner, it would
be consistent with President Trmans character recog
nze the value of the spirit of give and take in inter-
national negotiations.
On the other hand, if American policy is closed
book advance of the conference there danger that
Uncle Sam may be in the role of Uncle Sucker and
be obligated to GIVE and not to TAKE.
President Truman make it crystal clear that all
the American people to take is that de-
cency, freedom and civilized principles will prevail in the
dealings among nations
The Senate strengthen the Chief Executives bar
gaining position by keeping such GREAT MATTERS
OPEN until Messrs Stain and Churchill have committed
themselves to program which in all conscience the
American people enthusiastically support.
