when person sneezes?-J. F.. H.
A. Gesundheit is German for "(to
your good health" It is a popular
German toast and salutation. Say
ing "Gesundheit," or God bless
you" when a person sneezes has its
origin in the ancient superstition
that sneeze was caused by the
souls trying to escape from the
body. God bless you" was sup
posed to act as charm and keep
the soul from leaving the body.
Incidentally, Gesundheit is pro-
nounced: gel-zOONT-h -hite (the

is the 100" of look, book.

artistic value Of dwarf trees.
Pyracantha is one of the most
effective plants to grow against any
wall. They furnish nourishing food
for travelling birds in both spring
and autumn. Their coral fruits and
green leaves lovely to behold.
Fruit trees or grapes trained
against the wall supply the owner
with frsuit, the plants OF which
would take up more room If planted
elsewhere.
Espalier may be kept perma-
nently attached against a building
or on the trellis for support. Prun-
ing must be done at intervals and
according to special rules.
The training of the tree is be-
gun when it is very young, perhaps
not more than a year old before
it has produced a stiff trunk.
Usually the branching is started
within foot or SO of the ground
by heading back the main stem.
Washington, d. c., and Maryland
have some handsome espalier trees.
In almost every instance, the tree
has a background of cream or
white showing to- great advantage

Trees Against the Wall,

Fortunately Americans do not as
yet have to count their ground
space by inches. So we plant our
trees, where they will have ample
space to spread out.
Trees planted against the wall
is an old story in Europe. The
trees are trimmed so that the lead
limbs rest against the wall or
fence. The fruit is easily gathered.
Most of the nurserymen can fur
nish you with espalier trees. April
cots, peaches, pears and cherry
trees have been the fayorites. The
space occupied is small, the decor
ative results large.
The trees come already Grated
and trimmed. The directions for
planting the new tree clearly print
ed IN a small folder.
Naturally. in choosing an espalier
tree, you have considered the ex-
posure and soil. But, exposure Is
vital to all of them They must
have an abundance Of sun for
their leaves.
We are familiar with trained
roses, ivy and other plants. but we
have been slow to appreciate the

The bidding:
South West North East
Pass Pass edmond spade
2hearts spades 3hearts Pass
&heartS Pass Pass Pass
Opening lead, four of spades.
The surest way to make game
is obviously the best way, and con-
siderations of overtricks should not
be entertained where the safety OF
the contract is in question. South
took too much for granted in the
play OF the hand and blamed his
failure on the bad break of the
cards, when in point of fact the
distribution was exactly what
might have been expected.
The bidding was orthodox
enough, though most modern play
ers would prefer to open the South
hand rather than pass 1t. The de-
cisive card, peculiarly enough, is
the jack Of hearts. This may sound
like splitting hairs. but 1t really
isn't. The point is that the
possession of that card gives South
q good rebiddable heart suit, so
that II partner should respond
with one spade or two diamonds
he is in position to sign of by a
bid Of two hearts. 1t will be OBJ
served that the hand has q high
card point count of II and there
fore falls within the classification
of "optlonal openings" Hands
counting IL and 13 may be opened
where the rebid is convenient.
Lest be charged by the carping
critics with being rather too point
conscious, permit me to declare that
II the jack. of hearts were convert
Cd to the jack of spades, I would
prefer an initial pass despite the
fact that the point count would
remain unchanged. A good rebid-
dable suit would not then be
available and opening with SO little
high-card strength would not be
considered a good risk. Had East's
bid of one spade not intervened,
South's proper procedure after
having passed would have been to
make a jump take-out of two
hearts, but, inasmuch as he was in
position to make a free bid, he
preferred not to jump to three
hearts and thus crowd the bidding
West opened the four of spades,
which was taken with the ace. De-
clarer drew three rounds of trumps
trusting the diamonds to break so
that he would obtain three dis
cards. This would result in his
taking IL tricks, one over contract.
When the diamonds failed to
break, declarer was obliged to lose
four tricks and attributed his fail
ure to bad luck. As a matter of
fact, diamonds did not break badly.
An even number of outstanding
cards dn this case six) will, ON the
average, not break evenly, so that
the AZ division was to be expected.
The proper play was to- draw
only two rounds of trumps to see
If they were divided. When this
fact is ascertained, the king and
ace Of diamonds should be cashed
and a small diamond led to be
ruffed by declarer with an honor,
II necessary, to prevent the over
ruff. Dummy is then entered with
the king of trumps to cash the
two good diamonds. In this way
declarer makes five heart tricks,
four diamonds, and the ace of
spades for a total of 10.

Don't Let Them Score You With
Socialism Tdlk

An unprecedented combine of powerful propaganda or
ganizatons headed by the American Medical OF
campaign convince the American people that President
and radicals in Congress are trying to put over
Sociazed Medicine Don't let this false propaganda scare
you.
The campaign has two purposes: First under smoke
screen of talk about Creeping Socialism, lot of reaction
airy politicians attempting to creep into office Ii you let
them fool you now, you will be sorry later
The second purpose is to protect an artght monopoly
which is making increasingly difficult for the American
people to get the health services they need at price they
can pay That the monopoly of the "Organzed Doctors
In saving that LABOR is not attacking the good old
fashioned family DOCTOR who works himself to death and
than his when he can collect It, There
thousands of such doctors They DO not run the NJ A.
but it pretends to speak for them.
Who does the A. M. A? First small group of
medical politicians who make fat living by telling doc
Second medical businessmena comparatively few spec-
ast doctors who charge fantastic fees and want to protect
their monopoly.
The way that monopoly works. and its results, be
most clearly by looking at the Ad to Medical Educa-
tion" BILL which is part of Trumans national health pro
gram
This bill would increase the supply of doctors by having
Uncle Sam share the cost of training them in medical
schools The schools themselves for the BILL but was
killed by the "OrganiZed Doctors Lobby.
The Lobby opposed the despite the fact that,
as shown by study this country has fewer doctos
in proportion population, than it had 40 years
There is plenty of evidence that the 'Organzed Doc
tors deliberately hold down the number of men who
get medical training For example 1000 woudbe doc
tors applied this year for admission to the Tulane University
Medical School, the largest in the South but only 125 were
accepted students In other words Is Of each 6
turned down.
Some medical schools are rebeling against dication of
the number of students they train but they don't dare
challenge the A. NJ A., which ruin any school which
fuses to submit.
What the results of the doctor shortage maintained
by the A. M A. monopoly? shocking to that ques
tion is furnished by "Ihe Child" bulletin published by
Uncle Sans Childrens Bureau
The bulletin reveals that millions of American school
children suffering from physical and mental ills which
could be prevented cured They going without badly
needed treatment Of defective hearts, eyes, ears teeth and
other troubles.
These illnesses and needs discovered by "health
examinations in schools, the bulletin says In most cases.

Housing Committees Valuable

The AFL convention at Houston made strong for
immediate establishment of local labor housing committees
The convention unanimously endorsed the AF executive
councils emphasis of the need for such committees and
pointed they prove particularly valuable both the
public housing and sum clearance programs essentially
locally administered.
whether these programs, the convention declared,
developed to suit the needs Of the locality whether
they killed distorted fit the recommendations of
local real estate groups will depend in large upon
the interest and activities of the local labor organizations In
addition the effectiveness of rent control program de-
pends in large measure upon local support"
"For these reasons the convention added eve urge all
central bodies which have not already done to establish
local housing committees which will work closely with the
American Federation Of Labor Housing Committee in the
fight for better housing for the American people Only in
this attain objective of decent, comfortable
home for every American family"

A Good Idea

that shall be given that half day off with for

not missing good bet Would not be more effective
were stipulate that the hahoday should be appc
able only those workers who registered voters While
in many instances cannot help but drag few parasites
along when negotiate wages it to us that things

it's welfare to bother to make themselves qualified voters

How Unions Suve Uncle Sam Money

Uncle Sam is saving mint of money by letting unions
take of their jursdictOna disputes. President
Richard Gray of the A. f. of L. Building Trades Depart
ment gave graphic example of that this week.
National machinery for settlement of such disputes in
the building industry has been set up Jointly by the depart
ment and the various contractors associations
THAT machinery is costing both sides only $4,000
year, Gray said "By contrast officials of the National
Labor Relations Board testified before congressional
mittee that if the government to handle such disputes
under the aatey Act the cost to the taxpayers would
probably reach 100000 year
'ln short, we're saving Uncle Sam SGT 900 annually
and that's nothing to at when government
expenditures into the billions"

Voluntary Measures Best

In its annual report to the Houston convention the Am
ercan Federation of Labor executive council placed strong
and needed emphasis voluntary economic controls. With
all the loose talk about the alleged need of rigid controls OF
various sorts in the rearaent program it is we'll that
labor stressng voluntary best suited for
free nation.
The council said recognized that aout preparedness
essential to meet the Communist and went to
make the following pertinent observations:
If value freedom, country must be prepared
to play it's full part and because have the worlds great
est production facilities to take the greatest responsibility
in the action of the free world to combat Communist mill
tary aggression in other parts of the globe We must i'm
mediaey rebuild military strength help allies to
and prepare to transport weapons great dis
tances This must be the first call production fac
tiles and must turn to the task all the manpower and
sources needed for it."
AFL members may be counted to do their full
share the council added and ad eve emphasize the fact
however, that voluntary measures, not rigid government
regmentaton achieve the greatest efficiency and produc
tive results. This fully proved in the last war;
whatever controls necessary for the civilian
omy should be safeguarded against RECOMMENDATION and ad
minstered in close cooperation with citizens boards
senting labor management, farmers and other civilian
groups that the nations great citizens organizations
