points almost directly at the

North Pole has a slow circular
motion of its own, and in thou

be toward our present Polaris
once more.

Mr.. Dale decided to forget
about his anemic heart suit
unless his partner bid hearts
and opened his hand with one
diamond. Mr.. Masters imme-
diately sensed a slam and made
a jump takeout in spades to flash
that idea to his partner.
Mr.. Dale let it be known he
held a minimum by a bid of
two no trumps. But when he
showed fair spade support on the
next two rounds. Mr.. Masters
lost no time getting to six.
The queen of clubs was led
and Mr.. Masters won with the
king. The contract looked easy.
If the diamonds broke 80 (the
most likely diviSion), the hand
would be a laydown.
Mr. Masters took three rounds
of spades, ending in his own
hand. On the third spade Mr..
Champion discarded the 10 Of
clubs, correctly figuring that If
Mr.. Masters had any small clubs.
he could have ruffed them in
dummy.
Next. a small diamond was led
and ducked in dummy. Mr..
Muzzy won with the nine. This
development completely bewil-
dered him. but eventually he
recovered sufficiently to return
q club.
Mr.. Masters won with the ace
of clubs, led a diamond to the
ace and got the bad news when
Mr.. Muzzy showed out, dropping
O club.
Now the hand was not as easy
as it had looked at the start.
Mr.. Champion had another sure
stopper in diamonds.
However, it occurred to Mr..
Masters that maybe Mr.. Cham
pion was also the only defender
who could stop the heart suit.
II so. the contract could still be
made.
Accordingly, he cashed the king
and ace of hearts, led a third
heart and ruffed it. Now he
cashed his last trump. The
look on Mr.. Champions face
told him his play was successful.
Mr.. Champion was down to the
queen jack of diamonds an dthe
queen of hearts. If he discarded
the heart. dummy's five spot
would become a winner. If he
dropped a diamond, Mr.. Masters
would win the last two tricks
In the diamond suit.
Deal the next hand" he said
grimly as he pitched his remain
ing cards on the table.

MANY of these girls, after

Marriage Prospects Studied
In Survey Of College Women

Big g-city girls with bachelors
degrees don't have as good mar
riage prospects as their class
mates from small towns and
farms, according to a recent
survey of college graduates.
A poll of 5000 women who
received degrees from liberal
arts colleges from 1916 to 1949
showed that rs per cent Of
those from farms or towns un-
der $4,000 population had mar
ried within three to six years
after receiving their degrees.
Seventy per cent from cities
of $4,000 to a half million made
their way to the altar in the
same period, while only so per
cent from cities of half a mil
lion or over reported marriage.
Findings of the survey are
given in a recently published
pamphlet, "Five Thousand
Women College Graduates Re-
port" by Robert ShoSteck, di-
rector of research of the B'nai
Birth Vocational Service Bu-
reau.
Gravitate to Cities.
The booklet suggests that the
spfnster ratio among the big
city girls is inflated because
many career minded women
with ABB. degrees probably grav-
itated to the metropolitan CEN
ters.
Offered as another possible ex-
planation was the fact that large
cities offer better professional
opportunities; and girls who
make good in their careers are
more "choosy" about prospective
husbands.
Two thirds of all the college
women replying were married
within three to six years after
graduation. And of these, 56 per
cent reported one or more chill
dren, while one third had two or
more.
The survey also showed cor
relation between the marriage
ratio and the manner in which
the college education was
financed.
Have Better Chance.
The gals whose dads foot their
college expenses have a some
what better chance for marriage
(72 per cent married. than do
their classmates who work their
way through school (65 per cent
married..
In a summary of the survey it
was revealed that fewer than 4
out of 10 women went to college
to train for a future occupa-
ton"
Almost all of the Others" the
booklet stated, went to college
primarily to obtain a general
cultural education, for college
social life or for the prestige at
tached to a college degree"
The study also corroborated
the Well-known fact that eco
nomic status often determines
who shall and shall not go to
college, according to the sum-
mary. More than six out of 10
women included in the survey
came from the middle or upper
classes-businesS and profess
sional families. "The proportion
those groups represent on the
campus is three and one-half
times their ratio in the entire
population" it was said.

Some one sent in a request
for sourdough the other day.
This recipe is from William
o. Douglas book "Of Men and
Mountains.
"Sourdough is started by
mixing potato water, milk,
salt, sugar and u of a yeast
cake. Mix it up to a con-
sistency that is easily stirred.
When it has risen to at
least one half again of its own
volume and is bubbling well,
it is ready to use"
Remember to leave some
dough for a starter and if you
don't use it every day, a touch
Of soda is necessary.
This batter is used for hot
cakes and biscuits. too.
There is another way to
make sourdough as follows:
quart flour, / yeast cake.
Enough water or potato water
for batter a little thicker than

in a warm place for "a hours.
