He then cashed the queen of spades and led the six of hearts over to dummy When he led the good diamond, there re- mained in dummy the seven of hearts and seven of clubs.
 He discarded the nine of hearts from his own hand on the diamond, and West was squeezed. If he dis carded the queen of hearts, dum- my's seven would be good. He dropped the jack of clubs, and Dr.. Apfel led the seven from dummy, went up with the ace and caShed the queen for the thirteenth trick.

Basal metaboliSm means the amount of energy (number of calories) re- quired to keep the vital functions going (breathing, heart beat, cir culation, digestion, excretion, body temperature) during complete rest and sleep.
 It takes how many glasses o1 pints of milk, therefore, to prevent failure of the vital functions in a woman who lies quietly at rest all day and night, asleep third ot the time? A glassful (8 huidounces one-half pint) of milk yields 16C calories, a pint 320 calories. I never guarantee my arithmetic, but as ] compute it, man and wife, keep ing well under the covers and not moving about as using energy in any way, would have to consume al- together at least a gallon of milk each twenty-four hours to keep warm and alive.
 So, you see, the purest, richest, finest fresh milk is hardly "fatten- ing" as so many imagine-in order to gain any size or weight on milk you'd have to lie about or sit on your ischial tuberosities "A hours day and drink not less than three quarts of milk day.
 In the pamphlet How to Gain Weight" (ask for it in writing and inclose stamped self address ed envelope) I say: Any one who will take pint of milk with a slice of plain or whole wheat bread and butter, with a without sugar, each night at bedtime, will gain 20 pounds in year." But that is in addition to the ordinary diet, and milk isn't the half of it.
 A calory or calorie, unit of meas urement for the fuel or nutritive value Of foods, is the amount of energy in the form of heat required to raise the temperature of gram of water one degree Centigrade.
 A teaspoonful of sugar, molasSes honey, syrup, corn-starch or ice cream contains 30 calories, more or less. In other words a teaspoonful of any of these foods, when oxidized in the body, yields that amount ot energy, which may be expended ir muscular work, play or exercise ol converted into fat and stored ir all the well known places ar reserve fuel.
 This reminds me of the interest. ing observation made by a young woman recently returned from serv. ice in the military government 1T OkinaWa. T saw most of the 300, 00t inhabitants of that island and al of the 12,000 natives of nearb!

Mr.. Wyatt has served his country
at great personal sacrifice. and with
tremendous energy, ability, and de-
votion, during the past year. He
has formulated and administered
the type Of emergency program
which I asked him to undertake a
year ago. He has asked me to re-
lieve him Of the responsibility Of ad-
ministering the housing program

desires and accepted his resigna-

This does not mean that any ma
jor modification in the objective of
rapidly and adequately housing our
veterans has occurred. From the be-
ginning the program has been f1ex-
ible and in the current review Of the
program changes have been made
and others will be made as We pro-
ceed.
As MIR. Wyatt has stated from the
beginning of the veterans emer-
gency housing program, there is q
great need for rental housing for
veterans. In addition to the gov
ernmental steps already taken to
stimulate rental housing, Congress

Licenses Of SIS Drivers

new industry of IoW-cost factory
built housing. Extraordinary powers
were conferred on Mr.. Wyatt to
accomplish the tremendous task
ahead. Labor, industry, and the
people Of this country have CO.
operated in doing an outstanding
Job under his leadership.
It has now become clear that
1000, 900 dwelling units will have
been put under construction and
some 100000 completed by the end
of 1916. This accomplishment Is OUT
standing. In the starting Of perma-
nent dwelling units we have
achieved In one years time q level
that it took four years to reach after
World War I. In addition, we have
started about 100000 conversions
and temporary dwelling units.
The public has realized the prob
lem and has co-operated In the lin
litation of nonhousing construction
in order that resources might be de-
voted to the production Of housing
for veterans. Several hundred thou
sand projects have been patribti-
cally deferred. The production Of
building materials has been in
creased with remarkable speed until,
currently, many materials are being
produced at the highest levels In
history.
The problems of starting and
completing any program may be d.
vided into at least two phases. These
may be broadly defined as the first
phase of seeing the problem, meas
uring 1t and organizing to meet 1t.
This phase is difficult and requires
imagination and drive. Once the
first phase Is completed and the
program Is. well under way, the
problem becomes an administrative
one. Balance must be maintained
among the factors Of production.
The program must be geared into
the whole economy SO as to avoid
distortions of such proportions that
new emergencies are created.
The veterans emergency housing
program has successfully passed
through the first phase and Is now
well into the second phase. The prob
lem has been recognized, 1t has been
measured and a successful organ
ization has been set up to achieve
the goals, as is evidenced by the
increases in housing construction,
and the increases in the production
Of building materials.
The remainder Of the program
must now be faced within the
framework Of the Governments an
nounced policy Of relaxing controls.

win again be requested to pass the
Wagner -Ellender-Taft housing bill
which contains important provisions
to stimulate rental housing, the abb

handicap to the veterans emergency

With regard to factory built hous-
ing, Government loans ans market

ued. Attention will continue to be
given to the merits OF the individual

CHICAGO, Sept. 49, @-Swift
and Company today described as
untrue a statement by Ralph Hell
stein, president of the C1O-United
clearinghouse Workers of America,
that the current meat shortage was
the result of faction by the meat
trust"
Helstein said Saturday the short
age was '.:the result of action en-
gagged in by the meat trust earlier
this year." and declared the meat
famine's occurrence during cur
rent wage negotiations between
packers and employees sis no mere
coincidence"
Apparently Helstein is using the
communist technique that a lie re-
peated often enough will be be-
lived" Swift and Company's state,
ment said. Several times in the
past, union officials have charged
that large meat packers conducted
a sitdown strike and refused to buy
livestock prior to June 30, before
price controls expired.
"Such charges are utterly false.
The truth is that Swift and Com
pany we're buying and will continue
to buy every head of livestock that
we can in accordance with OPA
