Since December veterans of
World War II and others seeking

ger of U. S. Employment Service
here, reports.
From January to December
last year, over 1000 persons were

veterans of World War II so
placed, Mr.. knight said
The office has been averaging
so persons a day but since De-

began TO come back, the number
of those seeking employment
has gone UP 50tf., Mr.. Knight
said. esti} 81
"Jobs are getting scarcer," Mr..
Knight said and asks employers
to take advantage of the U: S.
Employment, Service by calling
or writing their needs to the of
flee. In this way the employer
gets the benefit of interviewing
from SO to 100 persons a day, Mr..
Knight said. A system of inter
views with employers over town
will be instituted shortly, the To-
cal USES manager said, but add
ed that calls directly from the
employr to the Employment
Service would speed up informa-
ton as to jobs available.
The office is at 314 Simonton
Street, in front of the Postof-
fcie.

, McKENNEY
 ON BRIDGE
BY WILLIAM E. MCKINNEY America's Card Authority

There arc many fine husband midwife combinations In bridge, but 1t is unusual to find a mother and-son combination Mrs. R. Bay liss, playing with her son George, won the open pair championship at the recent Richmond Tournament. Young Bayliss demonstrated his skill with today's hand.
 He won the opening lead with dulnlnys king of spades and led the jack of hearts. When South played low, Bayliss went up with the king and dropped the singleton queen, much to the surprise of the kibitzers. When asked why he made this unusual play. BayliSs gave some very logical reasoning He said that if South held four hearts headed by the ace-queen. which is the minimum for his open ing bid. the queen could never be picked up. Therefore. the king was the proper play to take care of the 1 per cent chance that North held the singleton queen.
 Ill this case the play paid large dividends, as Bayliss was the only one in the room who made six-odd on the hand. All of the other de. clarers played low and allowed North to make the singleton queen.

Some things make me tired. Right now 1t is the receipt of clippings of a pseudo scientific article by a former employe of hospital labor atory, printed in one of these fun- ny little pocket magazines, warn ing the credulous that boric acid is poison"
 Of course 1t tis.aBut then, so is common salt; pure water, plain sugar or fresh air - if you don't be- lieve 1t, I'll undertake to poison you within an inch of your life with any one of these.
 If you take any such article Seri- ously on its merits alone, without regard for the qualifications of the author, you are just too gullihle to be allowed at liberty without a guardian.
 Let me assure all my readers that still recommend the use of boric acid as a household remedy, and use 1t myself, in preference to any highly colored "antiseptic" nostrum available. Remember this is just my opinion.
 Some things make me mad. For instance, the hackneyed assurance that I'm right about people not talk ing cold from change of weather, dampness, drafts or insufficient clothing-if their resistance is not lowered. That assurance makes me swearing mad, and 1t is only by the exercise of great self-restraint that I manage to let 1t pass without call ing the so-and-so something worse than incompoop. Why, blank 1t all, if I've screamed 1t once I've scream ed it a hundred times that there is no such state as resistance, high, low or medium, and certainly no physician or health authority can or will attempt to define resistance" It should be clear to any one but nitwit that no doctor ever ventures to say in advance whether 8 pa- tient has resistance" or not. Re sistance" is something the quack explains the late MT, Nincompoop unfortunately lacked enough of. Mind, now. my dear Wiseacres, we are not speaking of immunity.

 And there is still litle choice in Stemware. ... ,..
 Though the manufacture Of sil- ver-plated flatware, suspended dur ing the war, is again permitted, stocks are still small
 A gleaming Irish linen tablecloth is also part of the Easter table tradition. Fortunately, most women can get one. It may be one of some what scarce new ones, or it may be an old cloth with all of its original beauty brought by perfect launder- ing.
