Retail Sales Remain
About on Same Level
As 1851 Over Nation
BY the Assoeiofed Press

NEW YORK, June 6.-Although
the long holiday week end reduced
shopping in many localities the
past week, volume about equaled
the level of a year ago, Dun &
Bradstreet reported today.
Many attractive promotions and
extended shopping hours helped
sustain sales. But shoppers re-
mained bargain-conscious. For the
country as a whole, retail dollar
volumt in the week ended Wednes-
day was estimated to be from
2 per cent below to 2 per cent
above the level of a year ago.
Regional estimates varied from
levels Of a year ago by the follow
ing percentages: New England,
East and Northwest, down 3 to up
l; South, down 2 to up 2; Midwest.
down l to S; Southwest, up 2 to 6,
and Pacific Coast, up / to S.
Shoppers reduced their pur-
chases OF apparel slightly from
the previous week but continued
to spend more than in the like
1851 week. Sportswear and light
weight clothing were especially
popular. Dun & Bradstreet said.
Housewives shopping for food
turned their attention to warm
weather and picnic fare and the
buying of large meat cuts declined.
Because Of the potato shortage,
macaroni and rice were in heavy
demand. Sys5'.sa7'a
Sales Of household goods con-
tinued at the increased level of
the preceding week but little be-
low last years level. Sales of au-
tomobiIes. auto parts and picnic
equipment were up. Washers, re-
frigerators, freezers and hardware
also sold well.

| One of the worlds oldest countries

Ia kingdom until after the Second
World War, but five and hall
years ago, the people voted to have
a republic. The new constitution
went into effect four years ago.
Italy was the home of the ancient
Romans. Spreading out from the
city Of Rome, they spread their
power over many nations, includ-
ing those we speak Of as France,
Spain, Portugal. Belgium. England.
Austria, Ronlania, Greece and Tur-
keys The Romans also controlled q
great deal of Northern Africa.
Romans were strong in war, but
"a better claim for their fame is this: !:
They had great engineers among
them. Roman roads and bridges
were built with great care, and
some Of them exist to this day.
Along with their bridges, the
Romans prepared mighty troughs
and tubes for the purpose of tax
ing water from place to place.
Known as "aqueducts," these made
it possible for the people of Rome
and other cities to have water from
mountain springs and streams.
The empire of the Romans was
held together for several centuries.
Then men from the north fought
their way into Italy. The new
comers were largely of Teutonic, or
Germanic, stock, Among them were
Lombards, who settled in the valley

Toke Ny Word for ItIPoints for Parents -syEa,h
BY Frank Colby

A passionate love story lies be-
hind our colloquial expression "te
cut didoes.'' meaning ito play
pranks;; to cut capers.'
In mythology Dido was the
daughter of Belrus, King Of Tyre
she fed to North Africa when her
brother Pygmalion killed her hus-
band. There she bargained with
the natives to give her piece OF
land only so large as could be en-
circled by q bulls hide BY cutting
the hide into thin strips. she and
her followers managed to encircle
enough land for q citadel. Around
this stronghold was built the an
|cient city of Carthage.
To this city went Aereas and
his Trojan soldiers. Dido fell in
love with Aeneas, but Jupiter COM
|manded Aeneas to leave Carthage.
Dido tried every device known to
womankind to detain Aeneas, but
he would not remain. So Dido had
q huge funeral pyre built and set
afire. She mounted the pyTe,
stabbed herself and was consumed
by the flames.

Thousands OF points are lost by
reason of the wrong" partner
bidding the four no-trump. You
can avoid these losses If you know
how. Let's. see what MIR. Cham
pion has to say on the subject.
Against the Six-club contract;
Mr. Dale opened the five Of spades.
Mr.. Champion won on the board
with king. He then spread the
hand, claiming 13 tricks.
What's Hurry.
What was your hurry in bidding
this hand, Abel?" The great man
gnarled. That's the trouble with
you guys. You fall all over your
self bidding four no-trump as soon
as you smell siam. After your
Jump takeout you didn't think I'd
drop the bidding. did your
mo-" replied Mr.. Abel, but I was
sure we. had small or grand
slam and didn't see any reason to
delay asking you for aces. I didn't
bid five no-trump to ask for kings
because If you only had one and
showed it with a six-diarlond bid,
then we'd be past the six club spot." !"
"See what I mean?" asked Mr..
Champion, exasperatedly. "You
used the four no-trmp, got the
information you wanted and then
didn't know what to do with it.
Look how clear the whole picture
would have been. IL you simply bid
four clubs over my three-club bid
and let me bid four no-trump.
You would have shown me three
aces, Your reply to my five-no-
trump bid would have shown me
one king.
Champion Explains.
with that information" Mr..
Champion continued, "a small child
would have bid seven no-trump on
my hand.
Here's os mething for you to
remember. II is almost always
better for the partner with the
second-round controls kings. king
queen combinations and singletons)
70 bid the four no-trump rather
than the partner with the larger
number OF aces"
Mr.. Champion was right. Try TO
snaneuver the bidding 50 that part

no-trump-unless you are rich IN
