second biggest fire menace.
What most home owners over
look is the fact that SCOT forms
in the heating system every day
the furnace or fireplace is in use.
The general practice Of having
the furnace or the chimney
cleaned out once a year is not
enough to assure positive protec-
ton from SCOT fires all winter
long.
Through the regular use of a
new chemical solvent throughout
the heating season, home heating
systems can be kept soot-free for
greater safety and comfort. This
product not only cleans up soot-
clogged heating systems. but, .ac-

continued use helps to prevent
formation of new SCOT deposits
once the furnace and chimney are
clean.
There is no physical effort in
volved in destroying SCOT with this
revolutionary chemical compound
which attacks SCOT in furnaces,
fiues and chimneys in much the
same way that soap attacks dirt.
It dissolves or fluffs up the SCOT
so that 1t is destroyed in the
course of normal combustion.
The solvent is available in two
forms: powdered for coal, coke or
wood-burning heating systems or
f1replaces, and liquid for oil and
kerosene heating systems. The
powdered solvent comes in meas
ured packets for fast, easy appli-
cation.
The treatment consists of mere
ly tossing the contents of one half
a packet on a hot fire and the
soot-destroying action is then
automatic. In the case Of the
liquid. it is poured directly into
the fuel tank and serves the dual
purpose of destroying SCOT as well

Variety of Tables SimpIifies Decorators Problems

Furnishing homes in our time
may have disadvantages, but
through the thoughtful ingenuity
of designers there are many
compensating advantages.
Uppermost on the list are many
attractive, useful, different tables
developed in various woods, styles,
sizes. and finishes. There are
end tables. lamp tables, coffee
tables, desk tables, tables with or
without shelves and drawers,
pedestal tables, four legged
tables, three-legged tables, and
nests of tables.
There are large. small, square,
round, oblong. oval, and free
form tables.
Despite this extraordinary va
riety, it is sometimes difficult in
a given community to find the
unusual. Merchants are canny
from necessity. They tend toward
the conservative side and usually
purchase the new and different
early In a season and then only
one or two in a style.
If you belong to the I-want-
something different school you
should be alert. When you see or
read about something that ap-
peals to you. don't despair. Go
to your favorite dealer with your
request. Nine times out of ten
he will be willing to serve you.
Every time a home is fur
nished with mediocre and I'LL
have-to-make- -this-do" furnish
ings the family interest in that
home Is weakened.
A nest of tables has always been
q great convenience. The standard
nest has been lamp table height.
Now we have one coffee table
height.
What are the advantages?
Should you have a buffet supper
or serve a snack late at night,
more people can be comfortable
with a place for their after din
ner cup Of coffee and saucer.
And even more simple reward
results when your room suddenly
becomes crowded with many visi-
tors. The small end tables can
be tucked under the large one,

Opening lead, queen of spades.
If were to suggest to my readers
that it requires the taking of five
tricks to defeat a three-no-trump
contract, I would be exposing myself
to the charge of being patronizing.
Yet, there are good grounds for be-
lief that this elementary truth
should from time to time be brought
again to their attention. The idea
that the declarer should plan his
campaign Immediately the dummy
is spread is pretty generally under
stood. But that the defense should
also adopt an organized plan to
reach its objective lin this case the
taking of five tricks is frequently
lost sight Of.
Against today's final contract Of
three no-trump West led the queen
of spades. East played the four.
Not high-enough card to get part
ner excited yet not the lowest, so
that it would appear that the con-
tinuation of the suit was mildly
suggesed. 1nasmuch as East held
four of the suit, he realized that his
partner could probably establish it
in one more lead. Declarer won the
opening lead with the king and
played the king, queen and another
club, West waiting until the third
round. The jack of spades was
continued and declarer held up. The
ten of spades drove out the ace.
Declarer then played the queen
Of hearts and the jack, but was per-
mitted to hold them both so that
dummy's king would not become an
entry to cash the clubs. East was
then given the lead with the ace of
hearts, and promptly returned his
partners suit. West cashed his re-
naming spade, but was obliged to
lead away from his king of dia-
monds and permit declared to score
his ninth trick with the queen.
East had played without plan
ming. When he won the heart trick,
he knew that his partner had only
one more spade to cash and that
would be only trick number four.
Since five tricks were required, it
would be necessary for the defense
to cash a trick in diamonds. If
West did not have a high diamond,
all was lost. Since West might find
lit embarrassing to lead a diamond
himself. East's proper play at this
point was to lead that suit. De-
clarer would have had no recourse
but to take the f1nesse and the king
Of diamonds would have been the
setting trick.

the last minute, the bill should
be ready for final congressional
action after the Tuesday session.
Payroll taxes under the COM
promise bill would be collected on
annual earnings up to $500 in
stead of $4,000. as at present: The
tax would rise from per cent in
1854 to 2.5 per cent in 1860, to 3
per cent in 1865 and to 3.25 per
cent in 1910. 1t applies to en-

Congressional leaders hoped to-
day to place on President Tru-
mans desk before the end of next
week a bill to boost Federal old
age pensions. It would also bring
10 million more workers into the
retirement system.
Pension rates for persons retir-
ing in the future would be in
creased about 100 per cent, while
payments to about 8 million per-
sons already drawing benefits un-
der the old-age and survivors in
surance program would go up an
average of TIN per cent, effective
october l.
Maximum benefits for a family
would be raised from $85 to $3.50
a month.
To finance the expanded social
security program, payroll taxes
collected by the Government
would more than double over the
next 20 years, rising from $2.5
billion this year to about Sc bill
lion in 1870.
The taxes are paid by employe
and employer on a $3.50 basis.
Among those to be brought into
the programe are million self
employed, l million domestic SER
wants and 100000 regularly en-
ployed farm workers.
The legislation as it now stands
is a compromise of Senate and
House bills worked out by a con-
ference committee.
Agreement on the measure was
reached yesterday, although the
committee will meet again next
Tuesday to go over a final draft.

long Wins Full Term
In Senate by Big Vote;
3 Returned TO House
By the Assoeiofed Press

NEW ORLEANS. July 26.-
Senator Russell Long has won
overwhelmingly full term in the
United States Senate.
Malcolm La Fargue. Shreveport
attorney backed by major CO.
alition of anti-Long political
forces, conceded defeat less than
two hours after the last polls
closed last night in Louisiana's s
Senatorial Democratic primary.
When votes from 1.760 of the
States 2.092 precincts had been
tabulated unofficially, Senator
Long had 307,129 to 1877 for
Mr.. La Fargue and 7.749 for for
mer Representative Newt v. Mills
of Monroe.
Success in the Democratic pri-
mary means election in Louisiana.
Leads All Parishes Except One.
The 31-year-old Senator, son of
the late Huey P. Long, led in every
parish County, except one. That
was Plaquemines, bailiwick of
Leander Perez, national director
of the States Rights Democratic
Committee. Mr.. Perez publicly
differed with Senator Long as to
whether Southern States should
remain affiliated with the national
Democratic Party. In Caddo
Parish, Mr.. La Fargue's home,
Senator Long had only plurality
that might be overturned in the
official count.
But he bowled over traditional
anti-Long strongholds and swept
the city of New Orleans. Mayor
Delesseps S. Morrison of New Or
leans, elected only a few months
ago on an anti-Long ticket, cam
paigned for Mr.. La Fargue.
Mr.. La Fargue said during his
campaign that "the issue is Long
ism" Senator Long ran on his
record as an interim Senator since
1948 and indoFsed the politics of
his uncle, Gov. Earl K. Long.
Hebert Beats Opposition.
DR.. George S. Long. brother OF
the Governor, lost a bid for Con-
gress. He was trailing Represent
ative A. Leonard Allen. Seven
House incumbents easily over
came opposition. The eighth had
none.
DR.. Long, a dentist, ran with
out the support of his brother.
They have quarreled politically
for many years.
Heaviest opposition was en-
countered by Representative F.
Edward Hebert of New Orleans,
who polled 50.573 votes in the 189
precincts Of the 1st district. j.
Ben Meyer had 2O,1O2, Mrs. Louis
