GET Longer Life,
Better Service From
Your Appliances

IF you've been plagued with
many electrical repairs for APP
planes. resolve to take better
care Of them in the future.
That dreadful buzzing sound
which your vacuum cleaner starts
making spells trouble usually. and
trouble which might have been
saved if you'd just picked up loose
hairpins. marbles. buttons or
string before starting to use it.
This and other simple measures
add longer life and better service
to appliances.
Protect Electric Cords
Do you have an electric cord
to disconnect? Don't pull it out Of
the socket by gripping the cord.
Hold the plug and pull Should
the plug stick, and they some
times do, if the cord has been
plugged in for any length OF time.
rock the plug gently from side
to side, pulling gently as you
do so.
Electric cords to your irons can
amount to a great deal of money
If you're careless about them. Not
only can you pull the cord loose
from the plug. but the cord trays
because OF its use.
Remove the cord from the iron
by gripping the plug rather than
the socket. just as in the case OF
cord attached to wall outlet.
A cup hook. piece Of cord
and a plumb weight can be at
tached to the wall where you iron
to hold the ironing cord out Of the
way while you iron. This viii still
give free play when you need the
cord at different locations on the
ironing board.
Overlooking Appliances
One OF the major appliances to
be overloaded frequently is the
washing machine Either weigh
the load or check in some recep-
tacle like basket SO that you can
avoid making the machine work
too hard. The manufa cturer usual
ly gives specifications as TO the
weight the machines does eff

vary with the season. When the
frost becomes quarter of an inch
thick, it's time to defrost,
Always wipe spilled foods or
grease from the gasAet or rubber
seal around the door. Keep your
fingers of the rubber when you
open the door so it does not be-
come sticky.

and on less feed than in pre-war
years. A farmer today can produce
brollers on 20 per cent less when
compared to the costs OF produc-
ing other meats.
Where once il took IL weeks and
u pounds of feed to raise a three
pound bird, il is done now in nine
weeks with nine pounds OF feed.
With increasing population in the
United States consumption of
chicken can be expected to in
crease also. The chicken producer,
however. Will remain in business

Feed Good Hay

Be sure to save some OF the
highest quality legume hay for the
poultry. Such hay can take the
place of some expensive grain.
Before feeding the hay cut it into
one to four-inch lengths with an
enSilage or straw cutter. Then it
can be fed on the floor or in racks.

Eats More Chicken
Consumption Is Up
30 Pounds Since War

Last year the average citizen
in the United States ate 30 pounds
Of chicken,a20 pounds more than
he ate in l940. And it appears pos
sible that consumption may be
increased still more.
This increase is due to a mum.
Der OF reasons. the most important
of which is the lower cost OF chick
en-. AT one time chicken cost twice
as much per pound as beef. At the
present time it is about the same.
Cost has been lowered because
the producer has learned to raise

In New England, more than a
century ago, people went to see
an animal show which Travelled
from place to place. One Of the
men who trained the animals was
a young fellow named James
Adams.
The day came when Adams
met with an accident. He was
clawed by a tiger. After weeks
Of treatment and rest, he be-
came well. but decided to give
up his work with the show and
go to st. Louis.
Reaching the city on the Mis-
sissippi near the junction with
the Missouri, young Adams
earned living by making boots
and shoes, but the discovery OF
gold in California led him

it failed to make him rich.
Giving up the idea of mining.
Adams went into the Sierra
Nevada Mountains to obtain wild
animals. He believed that he
could make a better living by
capturing animals and selling
them to shows than by hunting
gold.
While in those mountains,
Adams lived In a hut near an
Indian village. In exchange for
game which he brought down
with his trusty rife, he was
given deerskin clothing by the
Indians.
The thought grew In his mind
that he should try to capture q

that "a twelve-foot pipe" is cor

A. Here is a simple rule for
such constructions: If the phrase
ends with long. high, wide, across,
tall, ETC.. use the plural forms,
as: twelve feet long; two feet
high; three yards wide; nine
inches across; six feet tall. In
your second construction the
singular form is correct, as: a

to say "a photostat copy" or "a

The bidding:

1 Club Pass 1Diamo'd Pass
l Spade Pass 8 Spades Pass
4 Spades All pass
In today's deal Mr.. Dale had
no extra values over a minimum
opening bid. He went on to
game because he properly con-
sidered his partners jump to
three spades as a forcing bid.
Mrs. Keen led the deuce of
hearts and the ace in the closed
hand won. Mr.. Dale saw three
high card winners in the side
suits and set about taking seven
tricks in trumps. It appeared
this could be done if an over
ruff could be avoided. Mr.. Dale
eliminated that danger in a
workman like manner.
At trick two he led to dummy'S
ace of diamonds. A diamond
was returned and ruffed. Now
the ace of clubs was cashed and
a club ruffed on the board. An
other diamond was ruffed in the
closed hand and another club in
dummy.
When the fourth diamond was
now led, Mr.. Abel followed suit
with the king. Clearly. then,
Mrs. Keen was out of the suit.
To prevent an over ruff at this
point, Mr.. Dale trumped with the
king of spades.
He led a fourth round of clubs
and Mrs. Kenn followed suit,
proving Mr.. Abel was out Of
clubs. He trumped with dummy's
ace of spades. Here some of the
kibitzers WINGED as they could
see that the jack of trumpS
would have been good enough.
But Mr.. Dale knew what he
was doing. He led the last dia-
mond from the board and ruffed
with his last spade, the 10. That
card would either win the 10th
trick or, if it lost to the queen,
dummy'S jack would be set up
for the 10th trick.
If Mr.. Dale had ruffed the
fourth club lead with dummy's
jack of spades and Mr.. Abel had
over ruffed with the queen, the
contract could have been de-
feated. An immediate trump re-
turn would take the last trump
from both closed hand and
dummy. The defenders would
then have the last three tricks.
AS Mr.. Dale said, he was not
trying to take II tricks. He was
trying to take 10. Which he did.

It Is astonishing how clearly.
this scattered collection Of
brief pieces Mr.. Lewis wrote
over the years, on Q hundred
topics, brings into shape the
most important phase Of the
man-the writer.
The editors were close friends
of the author for many years.
Mr.. Maule was his editor, Mr..
Cane his attorney and one Of
the executors Of the Lewis
estate After the death Of the
novelist at Rome, January 10,
1851. the two men, aided by
Philip Allan Friedman, start
ed the research that resulted
In this book. Some Of the es-
says, book reviews and random
reflections appeared in maya
zines. Others, found among
Mr.. Lewis effects, never were
printed. No short stories and
few letters are included; the
anthology is confined mostly
to articles, prefaceS and frag-
mentS.
These writings start with
some contributions which Mr..
Lewis made as an undergradu-
ate to the Yale Literary Maya
zine. They end with magazine
articles published In 1850. The
editors have grouped them by
topics rather than chronicle
g1cally.
From the diffuse and varied
whole you get q definite idea
Of Mr.. Lewis creed asa writer,
his literary judgments over the
years, his views on writing as
q craft, a vocation and an
avocation and many other
opinions. In fact, one whole
dimension Of the man is fairly
clear from his own words. #
there Is little about his more
personal life, beyond some boy
hood "reminiscences and occa-
sional references to his family,
this vital facet may be left to
future biographerS. Undoubt-
eddy they will be indebted to
this book for much Of the lit
erary background.
