homes only when the Job
could not be done by anybody

The government owns or is
connected with the management
of 856,601 dwelling units. They
cost about three billion dollars
to build and shelter more than
two million persons "a good deal
more than the population of Com
necticut. Tenants pay about geo
million dollars a year in rent.
This vast enterprise is only a
second-cousin to the veterans

aimed at getting 2,7o0;000 homes
started this year and next. That
is private, not public, housing.

The government has become a

government built 851, 900 homes
for war workers and others in
war communities who were un-
able to get shelter any other way.
This housing is being sold as
rapidly as possible so the gov
eminent can concentrate on low
rent housing.

approximately 100000 units of
war housing --- mostly apart

cations.
About $4,000 temporary units

While most folks dislike even
thinking about the NEXT legis-
lature, which is still nine months
or SO away, the honorable gentry
that make up that august body
are not only thinking about the
next one, they have their sights
trained on the one to follow.
Although the NEXT legislature
after the NEXT legislature will
not assemble until 1949 and cleo
tions will occur before that time
to determine its membership,
the politically ambitious boys are
as busy as bees pulling wires,
making contacts and building
their fences.
Coveted post in the House of
Representatives is the Speaker
ship and the chap who lands the
job has to do a lot of plain and
fancy 'politikin" to get the nee
essary support from fellow mem

Already four members of the
House have announced that they

ship of the 1899 assembly. They
are Neil c. McMulIen, youthful
HillsbUrough county representa-
tive who has served two sessions;

legislators cited for outstanding
public service by a secret poll of

system and do away with con-
tinuing appropriations has kept

years; and P. Guy Crows, of Du-

rose in the eyes of both politicos
and the public as a result. That
he acted in accordance with the

of Florida was substantiated
when the. people ratified the
amendment at the polls.
Perry E. Murray of Polk coun-
ty has shown himself to be one
of the most conscientious and
hard working members of the
legislative body. On numerous
occasions he has exhibited his
ability as leader and he holds
the respect and admiration of his
colleagues, which is a matter of
primary importance when a fell

 On the opening heart lead declar- CT played the king from dummy and South won with the ace. The five of hearts was returned and declarer won with the queen. Two rounds Of clubs were taken. then the king Of diamonds was led and held the trick Now West cashed three more rounds of clubs. which left East with the queen-jack of spades and queen- -jack-ten of diamonds.
 The nine of diamonds was led, South won. cashed the jack Of hearts, then led the nine Of hearts. Tiles (North) won with the ten- spot.
 You can see that the dummy had become hopelessly squeezed. If the jack of spades was discarded. a spaed would be led and declareT would lose the last spade gick. West released the queen of diamonds. so Tiles was able to cash his li'@'e seven spot for the setting trick.

Self-Made Star Is Former Typist
By ALICIA HART NEA Staff Writer

If you're an ambitious gal, the typewriter desk can be a spring. board from which you can bounce into e coveted career In the field of your choice. It can, If you'll fer- ret out what makes your firm tick, and will probe the meaning behind the pothooks. But while you're making the most of your oppor- tunitieS, you'll also have to make the most of your personal assets.
 There are many stenographerS whove gone places, other than on a trip to the altor with the boss. The latest on the success list Jorja C'WhiStle stopD Outright, the Amarillo (Tex) girl who won movie Stardom after four years grind aS a Hollywood steno, gives you her slant on what 1t takes.
 First Jorja warns that If you don't know what the boSs'S buS!- ness is ell about or the letters you tranScribe spell only mysteries, you won't so far.
 Says the girl, who worked for c movie producer and whose new career Is proof that she practised what she breaches, Make what ever the business that pays you a salary--lnovies, grain, lumber or you-name-it-your course of study. Learn what the meaning Is behind the letters that you tap out. When you do, you find keys to the busi- ness which open doors to your career"
 More advice - thds time on the need to lick any beauty handicaps that may block your path-comes from Jorja. Having had to reduce from a husky 155 pounds to lean l25 and settle for an expensive job of porcelain -capping done on vide spaced teeth, she should Know.
 These two common faults have to be licked, she says, or you'll be by-passed in your climb by a trim figured girl, one who dazzles her every acquaintance with a breath takingly beautiful smile.
 Jorja's advice on dieting? "Take it easy" she says. "If you need to lose more than 10 pounds, take it the doctors way with a low calooried diet that last months in- stead of weeks"
 Teeth that stray from the beau- ty line can be made to conform with orthodontic corrections, acc cording to our wise little mentor. AS in her case, an investment in porcelain caps to turn imperfect teeth into flawless beauties can pay big dividends.
