COUNT DURING BIDDING

EVEN WHEN your own side Is
doing no bidding. and you have no
problem Of deciding what is the
bcst-fitting declaration, II pays to
do careful card counting As you
listen to the opponents calls. you
can often figure out just about
the lengths Of their respective
suits. Often the information from
that sort OF figuring can tell you
the only defense which carries any
solid hope Of defeating their con-
tract.

The first person the soldier saw
as he was carried into Walter Reeo
Hospital on litter was woman ir
grey. He had come a long way
by boat, by train, by ambulance
from the place where he had lost
his leg. He looked at the woman
in gray and whispered, Gee, you
smell good. You're so clean"
A frightened child shook the bars
of his crib at Children's Hospital
and cried for his mother. A woman
in gray heard the cry, picked him
lup and held him in her arms. The
child stopped crying, looked at the
|gray veil cascading to the woman's
shoulders and asked in wonder, "Are
|you an angelo"
In war and peace-since 1918
the Gray Ladies of the Red Cross
have served in the hospitals. Right
now they are in u Washington hos
pitals, but their numbers have
dwindled. For instance, they gave
10000 hours of service last April as
compared with 5000 hours last
month.
They are the ones who bring a
touch. of home into a hospital ward.
A Gray Lady at Walter Reed may
do dozen odd jobs in a day-buy
a soldiers engagement ring for him,
get checks cashed for a group of
soldiers in the post exchange, write
la letter home, find the book a boy
wants in the library, wrap up a

ne had come to the end of the road
when he went to Mount Alto Hos
pital. A Gray Lady found out that
once he had liked to write. He's
writing stories again and he's not
discouraged any more.
A frantic young mother and IA
ther rushed into Children's Hos
pital with their sick baby. The
doctor said the child had infantile
paralysis. The young couple turned
to the Gray Lady and asked her
to pray with them. The three of
them kneeled there on the hospital
floor and prayed for the baby's re-
covery.
A doctor at Gallinger Hospital
confided that just seeing the wom-
en- in gray moving softly through
the hospital wards seems to have
a comforting effect on the patients.
There's no end to what Gray
Ladies are called upon to do. They
teach simple handcrafts, work in
clinics, serve ss hostesses. arrange
parties, go shopping, receive visitors
and generally make the hours, that
seem so endless when one lies in
a hospital, go faster.
1t takes lot of women in gray
to do all the little things that loom
so large to the sick. That's why
the Red Cross is now appealing for
at least 100 women to enroll at once
as Gray Ladies. The calls of the
wounded soldier, the sick child, the
veteran still suffering from the long
aftermath of war cannot go un-
answered.

another was scalded when she over

D. {. Anti-Inflation Group
To Hold Farley Tomorrow

Women's groups and individual
women interested in controlling in
flation were asked yesterday by Mrs
Minnie Frost Rands of the newly
formed District Anti-Infation Com
mittee to attend a special women's
meeting at pm. tomorrow in the
offices of the Washington Board of
Trade, Evening Star Building, to
learn what they can do to help keep
prices down.
The Office of Price Administration
has "done fairly good job" of in
forming merchants of current price
regulations, Mrs. Rands said. But
the public has no details, and lack
of cooperation on purchases has
been due to lack of information, -
she added.
Mrs. Rands said she believed most
women shoppers would adhere to
ceiling prices if they knew when
they were being overcharged.
Veterans need assistance in learn
ing what ceilings are in effect and
the regulations to enforce them, she
