of course, those wonderful melo-

Plaster Houses.

Mud-daubers were the first Amer
leans to build stucco, adobe and
plaster houses. Many are intrigued
by the number of glittering- winged,
thread-waisted wasps standing on
tiptoe around a mud puddle or
along the edge of a stream. They
are apparently nervous, as they
keep turning to look back. ANY
attacker would be treated to a stab
from a red-hot needle filled with
poison that is used to marvellous
advantage by the mason.
During August and September
the masons are very busy locating
building site or supplies. The
site is always located where rains
will not beat in. For some reason,
a fold of drapery or picture frame
is choice foundation.
The builder has only a pair of
jaws, long tongue, cement machine
and slender legs for tools. She
mixes small pellet of mud with
her jaws, then she grasps her pea
sized mixture in her jaws to fly to
the building site. The jaws spread
it over the surface before the
tongue takes up trowel work to
smooth the plaster securely.
A cell an inch or more long is
constructed. The interior is smooth
and glossy, the outside may be in

the plaster dries, the mason in

trary to natures excellent honest
workers. Inspection is thorough as
work progresses. When the cell is
completed, the food problem must
be considered. Some wasps prefer

promising group of young spiders.
Hovering over plump one, she
drives her stilleto into the exact

and heads for the CELL Packing her
limp booty in the cell, she pushes
it as far back as it will go, then
goes back for more. When the cell
is half full, she lays an egg on the
meat" then she Grams the cell to
the brim before sealing it tight
with plaster.
In the meantime, her egg matches
into a brown-headed hungry grub
which attacks its soft, fresh food
with gusto. After every scrap is con-
sumed, he weaves a tapestry robe
about himself and transforms into
a winged wasp which will cut its
way through the plastered wall next
summer and continue the routine.

The bidding
North East South West
Sno trump Pass 4spades Pass

Opening lead, queen of diamonds
While fearlessneSS is an attribute
without which no competitor in any
field of endeavor can hope to climb
the heights, nevertheless, it is q
quality which if not held in check
can readily be turned to compla-
cency, condition which has brought
about the downfall of many cham
pion at the hands of less capable
contender
At the card table, as elsewhere
the time for courage is when the
outlook is dark. But when a hand
appears to be a cinch, that is the
point at which to take time out for
a moment of pessimistic reflection.
1t must have been divine in
spiration that induced North to take
no further action over his partners
four spade response. He argued that
he had shown the full strength OF
his hand by the opening bid of three
no-trump, with a point count of just
25, and that since partner was un-
able to bid five spades. he did not
choose to risk slam contract. On
the other hand, it will be observed
that if South holds so little as five
spades to the king, queen, there is
a splendid play for the slam.
The queen of diamonds was
opened and taken by the king.
There was nothing to it but getting
out the trumps, so South promptly
fired the ace of spades on the table.
When East showed void of the suit,
there was no way to avoid the loss
of three trump tricks and the ace of
hearts. When a contract appears to
be as ironclad as this one, the
proper procedure is for declarer to
take moment to inquire, What
accident could possibly befall me?"
The answer would be, "Only four
trumpS in one hand" But if they
are in the East hand, the contract is
secure. If, however, they happen to
be in the West hand, caution must
be exercised.
The winning play is low spade
away from the ace. When East
fails, the six is played and West
wins with the ten. The jack of
diamonds will be continued, and
further care is required. Declarer
must not run out of trumps too
soon, before all his work is done.
At this time the king of hearts
must be led to establish a trick in
that suit. West will win and pre-
sumably return a club. Declarer
ruffs himself in with a diamond and
leads a spade. The jack forces the
ace and dummy's last spade is led.
West wins and declarer has two
high trumps left. Nothing can pre-
vent him from ruffng himself in to
draw the last trump to cash all the
high tricks.

Mr.. Truman a trusting superior

What he has not got is very
evident.
Period of Bitterness.
He must prepare to thrust his
hand into the lives of every
American during a period of al
most unprecedented political Bit

gave Abraham Lincoln a bad time
about his Secretary of State but

note. And in democratic countries
the governments depend on the
mood Of the people.
The continental members of the
Atlantic pact have shown only a
very limited interest in actual pre-
paredness. They held conferences,
had long talks and made many
speeches, but they prepared only
blueprints. If time were not run
ming as short as it is. those things
might have been useful. But we
are faced today with a definite
threat of Soviet aggression in
Europe and blueprints cannot stop
the Red avalanche.
Responsible military quarters
fear now that the time element
aside from other political fac
tors-makes rearmament of part
of Germany's military manpower
impossible. Our French friends
have procrastinated so long that
it is too late to attempt to rearm
the Germans. even if their recent
political conditions were met.
New Wave of Panic.
Last winter and spring it would
have been possible to give weapons
to the Germans without making
major political concessions. The
hostile attitude of the French in
terfered with our plans. After our
setbacks in Korea a new wave of
panic swept over Europe and the
Germans decided that they did
not want to become cannon fod-
der. They thought the French
terms treated them as modern
Hessians.
The Germans ill-humor and
lack Of confidence in effective de-
fense of the North Atlantic coali-
ton led to political demands by
the Bonn government which the
French and Benelux countries re-
fused to grant. German resistance
to becoming a partner in the COL
lective Western defense sprang
from their skepticism about the
effectiveness of the alliance rather
than from desire for political
concessions. They know that once
the Russians have been brought
to their knees, there will be a new
Western setup. in which Germany
necessarily will play an equal role.
But the Bonn government and
the masses in Western Germany
feel today that neither the United
States nor the other European
members of the Atlantic pact have
an effective force to prevent the
East German-Russian hordes from
overrunning Germany.

On the Record
Middle Eastern States Declared
Prisoners of Their Own Grievances
n Grievances

or equipment. to defend this most
critical area to both the West and
the Middle East, the answer Is
that the presence of foreigners in
time OF peace is intolerable. but
that If war actually occurs West
ern armies could quickly come
back to the aid of Egypt.
No analogy is drawn between
the withdrawal of American armed
forces from South Korea (also de-
sired at the time by the South
Korean government, and the at
tack by the Communists that fol-
lowed.
Thus these Middle Eastern
states, insofar as they are not like
Turkey, directly menaced by the
presence of Russia on their own
frontiers, become the prisoners,
as it were. of their own grievances.
All perspective is distorted by the
ranking memory of Western colo
nial imperialism and hatred of
the Jewish state, which they as
sociate with it.
Emotion Plays Major Role.
The grievances color even
considerations of personal safety.
That hardly one member of a
Middle Eastern government per-
sonally would survive a Russo
Communist victory, once the dregs
of the cities and countryside were
released against the peculiarly
vulnerable landlord classes who
control most Middle Eastern gov
ernments. does not lead to coun-
sells Of prudence or compromise.
And, indeed, into the attitude of
Middle Eastern leaders toward the
West enters a largely unconscious
satisfaction that the great of the
earth, its lords and masters Gin
their eyes,, are being Inundated.
It compensates somewhat for
their own inherited sense of hu-
initiation. which is not the less
because of a real and admitted
elN1&AA4 dUAOl4 dllo vi UllC
West, and sense of the short
comings Of their own civilization.
What is grasped nationally is not
grasped emotionally such as
that. if the Middle East should
fall. the Arab states and Israel
would fall together or that the
West Is as essential to the defense
of the Eastern Mediterranean as
the Eastern Mediterranean is toI
the West.
The role that emotion plays in
contemporary history can hardly
be exaggerated. 1t is especially
observable here. where impedi-
ments to understanding are psy-
Geological rather than political
unless politics is primarily applied
psychology.

Faces Many Obstacles
Wilson Wisely Got Vast New Powers
AS Boss of Civilian Economy
New Powers

1t does not appear that the
President and Mr. Wilson can exr
pect the political atmosphere to
improve soon. Senator Taft, who
took leading part in the Acheson
censure resolution, is refusing to
consider membership on the Sen
ate Foreign Relations Committee
because he wants to remain free
to criticize administration policy.
Instead he has informed Senator
Russell. who will be chairman of
Armed Services. that he is think
ing of joining their ranks.
Front Seat on Problems.
This would give him nice front
seat for the problems of military
production and requirements. 1t
is just possible that some of the
senior Democrats-and at least
one Republication Armed Serv-
ices who think themselves quite
expert might haze him little
there but Mr.. Taft is a hard man
to interrupt. He has also pro-
nounced views on the economic
questions with which Mr.. Wilson
must wrestle.
With respect to his own shop,
Mr.. Wilson has said firmly that
he doesn't want any assistant
chairmen which evoked a slight
smile from some of his fellow
War Production Board alumni.
Donald Nelson. WPB chairman,
brought Mr.. Wilson in as vice
chairman in 1912 by way of a
counter-attack, upon the military
who had been trying to give him
Ferdinand Eberstadt as an assist
ant. Mr.. Wilson stayed about a
year, which was quite long enough
for him to perceive who did what
with which to whom in the WASH
ington battle for power.
His job then was largely opera
tional as the peak of production
was reached about five months
after he arrived. Now he has en-
tire responsibility for the tremen-
dous task Of organizing, planning
and conceiving a war effort which
mIsS equal or surpass the old. He
will be the target of men from all
walks of life who know exactly
what they want and think they
must have: the will and informed
authority he must oppose to them
must be formidable.
