settings, price fixing serves ar

fixing in itself is an unreasonable
restraint of trade. the opinion de-
clared.
Sees Influences Effective.
Noting that Washington board
members agreed to abide by a
code of ethics provision for main
tanning standard rates of COM
mission adopted by the board
and that the board held it did
not punish members who deviated
from those rates, the opinion COM
mented:
Subtle influences may be just
as effective as the threat or use
of formal sanctions to hold people
in line"
The opinion declined to classify
the realtors with labor unions and
other groups performing personal
services" regarded as not being
affected by antitrust laws.
Members of the Washington
board are entrepreneurs," Justice
Douglas wrote. Some are indi-
vidual proprietors, others are
banks or corporations. Some have
no employees. others have large
StaffS.
"The fact that the business in
wolves the sale of personal serv-
ices rather than commodities does
not take it out of the category of
trade within the meaning of Sec
ton of the act. The act was
aimed at combinations organized
and directed to control of the
market by suppression of compe-
tition in the marketing of goods
and services"
AS for the National Association
of Real Estate Boards and Mr..
Nelson, the opinion said the court
was "left somewhat in doubt as to
the extent, if any, in which the
national association and Mr.. Mel
son were architects of the fee
fixing conspiracy or participants
in it,"
Code Held Ambiguous.
The opinion quoted from the
national associations code of
ethics that "the schedules of fees
established by the various real
estate boards are believed to rep
resent fair compensation for serv-
ices rendered in their communi-
ties and should be observed by
every realtor.'
That statement, according to
the opinion, is somewhat ambigu-
Gus and may be advisory only"
Justice Jackson dissented main
ly on the ground that services OF
a real estate broker are personal
services and at worst only {. "bor-
derline activity" so far as appli-
cation of the antitrust law is
concerned.
IF real estate brokerage is to
be distinguished from the profess
sions or from other labor that is
permitted to organize, the court
does not impart any standards
for so doing" he said. II am not
persuaded that fixing uniform fees
for the brokers' labor is more Of
fensive to the antitrust laws than
fixing uniform fees for the labor
of a lawyer. doctor, carpenter
or a plumber"

Pronunciation Clinic.

@. Will you please send the word
salon to your Pronunciation Clinic
for one of your expert checkups?
A. In American usage, the French
loan-word salon has been vulgarized
to such an extent that it has lost
almost every vestige of its former
magnificence, !. e., "a luxurious
drawing room; a reception held in
honor of a celebrity; place where
works of art are exhibited" If the
degenerated word can be said to
have any meaning, that meaning is
to be found in such titles as
"Yvonne's Beauty Salon" Why
then, should the unglamorous word
as used in the United States, still
be given an exotic pronunciation
which the average American would
not use even if he could achieve it?
Nevertheless, if you use the stand
ard American pronunciation, suh-
LON, you'll be persona non grata
or so our dictionaries imply, for
most of them list only sa-LAW (N-

But salon in standard American
is: suh-LON.
1t is interesting to note that from
salon we have the English word
saloon, which is identical in mean

America ever since; hence, the adop-

@ I have always pronounced the

friend laughed heartily at me. She

What's the good word?
A. The pronunciation "bum" has
been obsolete since World War I,
although some American diction-
aries still list it as an alternative.
Nowadays, in America, bum
suggests % "of no account; good
for nothing; (2) "a worthless fell

Goren on Bridqe

It is generally more difficult to
defend hand than to play 1t as
declarer because the defensive part
ners are cropping in the dark, to a
certain extent, as the respective
hands are concealed from each
other.
As defender, you are often forced
to make guess. If sound reasoning
is the moving force behind your
guess, you have given your best
regardless of outcome.
In the defense of today's hand,
East not only selected the correct
suit to return, but also chose the
one specific card which beat the
hand.
In the bidding 1t might be worthy
Of note that. quite properly, North
eschewed bidding the diamond suit
In favor of raising the no-trump, as
there was little doubt in his mind
that the final contract would be
three no-trlmp. Holding nine points
in high cards 1t would have been
highly improper to bid two dia-
monds.
West opened the spade three and
declarer won East's eight spot with
the ace, an attempt at deception
that, OF course, fooled no one. South
then finessed the jack Of diamonds,
losing to East's king. It was quite
evident that to return spade was
futile, as declarer was clearly
marked with the queen. If that
were not the case, West would have
held Q-J-10, in which case he would
have opened the queen rather than
the three. That left a choice be-
tween a shift to clubs or hearts.
For the club shift to be right,
Vests holding would have to be
either ace, king and another or ace,
queen and another. This seemed an
unlikely holding, for in that case
declarer would have at best the king
and one small club or the doubleton
queen, jack. Since it Is known that
South had only the jack in the dia-
mond suit, it would place him with
q rather skimpy no-trump bid. East,
therefore, decided to shift to hearts,
as the one hope of collecting enough
tricks to beat the contract.
His choice of cards is worthy Of
note. He returned the 10 of hearts,
which compelled declarer to cover
with the queen. East won the re-
turn of a low neart with the king
and then played the deuce Of hearts.
Vests jack-seven Of hearts was q
tenace over Soutfl's eight-six and
provided the setting tricks.
It will be observed that If East
selects any heart other than the 10,
South will win the hand. II the
shift be to the king, then South
will cover the 10 and the eight will
stop the suit. If the shift is to the
deuce, South can duck and West
will win with the jack. He will pre-
sumably lead back q low neart,
which East will win with the king,
but when the 10 Is returned South
will refuse to cover and the suit will
be blocked, preventing the cashirg
OF the fourth heart trick.

Natures Children
Snow Leopard.

During January, 1949, several
newspapers gave front page space
to the arrival Of two snow leopard
cubs from India.
One of the leopards died six days
later. The autopsy revealed the
cause of death to be parasitic in
lection and, also, that Tibet's So
called mate was most likely his
brother!
Tibet Is very popular with his
public, even surprising in popularity
the lesser pandas, his fellow coun-
trymen.
His vicious disposition was quickly
replaced by an appreciative, affec-
tionate one toward his keepers. His
public was always greeted with q
pleasant feline smile-nothing more.
At home, he hunted for red meat.
At the Zoo he eagerly accepted q
whole rabbit or chicken, never leav-
ing . scrap.
Snow leopards climb to . height
= $4,000 feet in the summer, coming
down to as low as 1000 feet in the
winter because of the excessive cold
of the Himalayan Mountains. The
snow leopard's chief source of food,
the blue sheep, also comes down to
the lower plane. Ibex is hunted
and 50 are domestic goats, sheep
and dogs. No record has been found
that these leopards ever attack man.
Tfbet's deep, thick white snowy
robe Is splotched with gray and
black. Even in the, Zoo against the
dull gray stone Of his cage, he is not
conspicuous. In the snow-clad
mountains, he would be almost
invisible. -"-
During the day Tibet stalks ma
jestically along his gray stone ledge
his well-padded feet making nc
sound ct all. His cool, dark cave
offers q pleasant retreat for slumber
During the year he has resided in
the San Diego Zoo, he has waxed
fat and is almost feet long,.
There are several ZOOS in America
where snow leopards may be seen
There was a very sleek, handsome
one at the Philadelphia Zoo not SC
long ago. These leopards live to be
about 80 years of age.

when a girl marries her trou-
bles begin"-to paraphrase the old
saw.
But one problem married women
the world over will not have If the
convention recommended by the
Commission on the Status of
Women of the United Nations be-
comes fact will be that of ma
tionality.'
In its fourth annual session held
at Lake Success last month, the
commission recommended that the
Economic and Social Council of
the U. N, to which it is attached,
draft a convention declaring that
there should be no distinction in
questions of nationality made on
the basis of sex. in legislation or
IN practice. and that neither mar
riage nor its dissolution should af-
feet the nationality ef either
spouse. 1t added that ncthing in
such a convention would prevent
signing nations from making pro-
visions for the voluntary naturali-
zation Of aliens married to their
nationals.
The United States has taken
the lead In this, Mrs. Rachel Ma
son. who was one Of the State De-
partment advisers to Mrs. Olive
Remington Goldman, United
States representative to the COM
mission, reported. This, she
added, is a natural role for US,
since our Cable Act. passed in
1922. incorporates this principle.
This is the same principle en-
bodied in the Monteyideo Con-
vention, drawn up by representa-
tives of the American republics in
1888. 1t is this same principle
which serves as the basis for the
recent recommendation Of the
commission.

lea fought long and hard for the
law we now have. Mrs. Mason
continued. Unless an American
woman renounces American c;ti-
zenship, she does not lose it by
virtue of marriage. BY the same
token. foreign woman marrying
an American is not required to
take American citizenship.
At the present time. Of course,
countries customs differ. A jap
anese woman loses her nation
ality when she marries other than
a Japanese. "Statelessness." with
all 1t implies In terms of the lack
of any country's protection. be-
falls a Japanese woman when she
marries an American, since our
laws exclude Japanese from
naturalization.
One classic case Of conflict in
principle along the lines of ma
tionality is that Of Ruth Bryan
Rohde, who, when Ambassador to
Denmark, became engaged to her
husband, a Dane. Under Danish
law as it existed at that time, she
was required to take Danish citi-
zenship when married. Although
she could also retain her American
citizenship, it was. Of course. diff
cult for her to continue as Ameri-
can Ambassador to Denmark. and
she relinquished her post. At the
commissions recent session 1t was
learned that Denmark is changing
its laws in this respect at the
present time.
Other countries have various
laws. Within the last five years
the respective countries of the
British commonwealth began
changing their laws in the direc-
ton of the Montevideo principle.
Norway's laws are similar to those
of the United States. Turkish law.

We can get along very well on $50

include a dinner eaten out once

have something like the following
Breakfast: Egg. boiled or fried

Dinner: Baked half ham OF

Supper: Ham sandwich. tea

This seems to be adequate for
US. but might not be sufficient
for persons with large appetites
who use lot Of energy in very
active work. We use real butter
coffee cream and good grade
OF coffee. Also bread made from
unbleached -four, or whole wheat
bread. The unbleached -four bread
is delicious ana since we~ have
been able to get 1t. We do not
use any other white bread, ex-
cept occasionally when I make
biscuits. mufhns or corn bread.
I watch all leftovers and make
roast or ham 60 pretty far. For
instance 2la-pound chuck roast
made two meals. and a stew with
potatoes and onions for lunch
this week. I don't buy things
out of season. use a few frozen
foods but mostly fresh vegetables.
Occasionally we have spaghetti

hearty vegetable soup once a week

of a world in fiux, the represen-

home for instructions on India's
current nationality laws before
voting, since the laws were being
considered even as the commits

The commission also declared
its belief that in countries where
q child is able. to receive nation
ality through his parents he
should be able to receive nation
atty through his mother as well
as his father. Some countries rec
ognize only nationality transmit
ted through the father, and in
turbulent Europe, with refugees
who may know their mother but
not their father. this has posed
problems. There are a number
Of countries that discriminate
against the mother In this way.
The United States does not.

instruct the proper U. N. bodies
to consider this. 1t will be one OF
the questions discussed at the ses-
