Sure you've only one pair of hands and i've things to do at once, and cake-making seems to be the last straw! But it needn't be, now that the last word in the quick making of fine quality cakes has burst upon the separate creaming, tedious adding of alternate liquid and dry ingredients. It spares your time, 1t spares the pots, but doesn't spoil the cake. This recipe will prove it.

WE, THE WOMEN

 Housewives Must Consider Servants Private Lives

of their own and lived just to make life more comfortable for an em- ployer.
 Mrs. Jones, of course, isn't throw ing champagne parties for heI cleaning woman or laundress ol maid of all work. But she is put ting herself out just as much, ir smaller ways-and often in ways she never thought about in the days when she knew that if she lost one cleaning woman she could always hire another.
 SHE'S LUCKY
 She is saying When can you come?" instead of Be Here Monday at eight" She is saying "Of course, you can't come then" when the woman who works for her calls up to say she has sickness in her fam fly, instead of wailing, But Dora, you've just got to get here somehow; you know I'm having dinner guests"
 If Mrs. Jones has any help at all she is lucky, and she knows it. And she doesn't intend to lose maid or cleaning woman to someone else, because the woman is unhappy. So she tries her best to keep the woman working for her happy and centented with her job.
 And apparently even heiresses feel the same way

The ace of spades is now a sim gleton in the South hand while East still holds the king and the six of trump.
 Declarer's next play is to cash three rounds of hearts and then the ace of clubs.
 West is then thrown in the lead by the play of the third club, South discarding 8 heart, and once again we find that, regardless of what he returns, the declarer can trump in dummy with the seven spot and East must either under trump and lose his king to the ace or over trump with the king, which South will win with the ace.
 Then the last trick is won In dummy with the nine of trump.

Ing. For an example, I can point 10 my garden, now being pre- pared for the third year. Soil in our section of the city is very sandy, with only couple of inchest of what one might call topsoil Drain age is so good, since the sand is at least 50 feet deep, that constant watering is necessary.
 My plot, 20 x 50 feet, originally part of large lawn. was cut into quarters by cinder paths, AZ inches wide. That meant starting with one-sixth of the area in cinders. Replacing the cinders with topsoil was out of the ques- hon, so I dug out half, scattering hem over the rest of the plot. Then

 The reason for calling this rare play the smother play is that it literally smothers the opponent out of what seems to be a perfectly sure trick. You can see that when the declarer is. forced to ruff the third diamond. it looks hopeless for him to capture East's king. but it is done in the following mapner.
 A low club is played to the king and the ten of trump played. East. of course, refuses to cover and the declarer plays the eight spot. Now comes the queen of trump and once again East refuses to. cover and the declarer drops his jack on the trick.

Use of Atomic
Bomb Hurried
Russia Into War
By MERRIMAN SMITH

WASHINGTON. Aug 8. up
High official sources indicated that
the atomic bomb probably haStened
Russia's entry into the war with
Japan.
Russian participation was dis
cuSSed at the Berlin conference of
the Big Three and was one OF the
uppermoSt secrets kept by President
Truman. GeneraliSSimo JOSEF Stain
and British Prime Minister Clement
Attlee.
according to best available infor-
nation. Russia was not to have
come into the Japanese war for
come weeks yet. But apparently
when her officials, inclut ing Stain.
learned of the results Of the atomic
bomb on Hiroshima, they made up
their minds to come in now
As far as can be learned here,
Russia knew little or nothing Of
American plans for the atomic bomb
until it exploded Sunday over HirO-
shima
Russia's participation in the war
against Japan means a material
shortening of the war, highest
sources believe. Japan is not ex-
pected to withstand much longer
the triple impact of the normal AL
lied offensive, atomic bomb raids
and now. attack by Russia.
President Truman went to Pots
dam fairly we'll assured that Rus
sia was coming into the conflict
shortly. No mention whatever was
made Of this in the Big Three COM
munique or the Anglo-American-
Chinese ultimatum to Japan But
it was held inconceivable that the
Russian military Staffs would have
met with the British and American
military staffs at Berlin unless Rus
sia were going to enter the war.
