Ivan Willis explained Har-

Harvester is not running a

employment policy is moth

Said Willis: "Our basic APP

tunity to earn a living that
is in keeping with his ma

PRESS COMMENTS
INDUSTRY THROUGH THE Color BARRIER"

A whirring, horse-drawn
reaper lurched through q
field of grain on a Virginia
farm one day in 1881. Be-
side it marched two men,
one white, one black. The
man was Cyrus Mccormick,
inventor of the first prac-
tical reaper. The Negro was
his slave 10 Anderson,
whose devoted work had
helped perfect the machine.
In the 1913 years since, In
ventor McCormick's Inter
national Harvester Co. has
not forgotten the way it's
founder and 10 Anderson
worked together. This week,
in Manhattan, the National
Urban League honored In
ternational Harvester with
its Industrial Statesman
ship" Award for the COM
pany' steady, uncompromis-
ing policy of nondiscrimin-
alton in industry.
What pleased the Urban
League was not so much that

Mr.. Dale felt that there was
probably some chance to defeat
five diamonds but that it might
require some kind of deception
on his part to accomplish that
result.
He decided to open a heart,
but instead of leading the king,
the standard" lead from his
holding in that suit, he laid
down the ace.
His reason for this departure
was that his partner, Mr.. Muzzy,
rarely reads any meaning into
an opening lead, whereas Mr..
Champion watches every card
and attempts to infer something
from it.
In other words, Mr.. Dale felt
he could enjoy the advantage of
misleading Mr.. Champion as to
the location of the king of
hearts without the usual danger
Of misleading his partner also.
At trick two he shifted to the
eight of clubs. Mr.. Muzzy won
with the ace and by some good
fortune elected to return the
suit. Mr.. Champion was in with
the king of clubs and he prompt
ly cashed three rounds of
trumps. ending on the board.
At this point the only possible
loser in his hand was the trey
of spades and he had two
chances to eliminate that loser.
He could lead the queen of
spades and take the finesse. Or
he could lead the queen of
hearts and discard the spade
loser if Mr.. Muzzy did not cover.
(Surely Mr.. Muzzy had the king
OF hearts, because if Mr.. Dale
had held it he would have led
1t at trick one.)
We can hardly blame Mr..
Champion for choosing the lat
ter alternative as it seemed al
most certain to win, whereas the
spade f1nesse was only a $3.50
chance. Thus Mr.. Dale won
second heart trick and, as you
see, the spade fineSse would
have given Mr.. Champion his
contract.

The Chef
Says

Stuffed cabbage is a dish that
turns up over and over again. in
several versions. in middle
European cooking. It's hearty,
delicious eating for a gloomy
winter evening and in its simple
form, about as economical as
you can get. The sauce. may be
prepared several ways: my own
favorite version has a sweet and
sour sauce which gives a heady
exotic touch. To do it properly.
you should use for your meat
filling ground pork, beef and
veal in equal parts. However.
plain hamburger makes a sump-
tuous dish.
The original old-country YER
sion requires that the cabbage
wrapped meat be simmered all
day over a wood fire. Sub
sequently. the lady of the house
was expected to take. the rag
wrapped pot to bed with her, to
keep it and herself warm over
night. However. you needn't go
this far. Make it this way:
Mix a pound of ground beef,
a cup of cooked rice. an egg, a
minced onion, salt, pepper, and
tablespoonful Of sugar. Remove
IL or so leaves from a good-sized
head of cabbage and parboil for
3 minutes, or until they are just
supple enough to bend without
breaking. Fill with the meat
mixture and secure with tooth
picks. Chop enough of the re-
manning cabbage to cover the
bottom of a casserole and pile
your stuffed cabbage leaves on
top of this.
To make your sauce, blend a
tablespoon of flour with q table
spoon of melted butter in a
saucepan. Add a can of tomatoes.
a teaspoon of beef extract. salt
and pepper and a bay leaf. and
simmer for IS minutes. Add 2
tablespoons of sugar and 2 table,
spoons of vinegar-a little more
of each if you like your sweet
and sour taste more pronounced.
Remove bay leaf and pour
sauce over casserole. Place the
works, covered, in a moderate
oven (375 degrees) and cook for
11a hours. or until cabbage is
tender and meat is done.

Reader Asks
By Dr.. Paul Popenoe

Men are forever trying to ana
lyze the nature Of women and
they come to all sorts of con-
clusions and generalizations, few
OF which are supported by scien-
tific study-not even that "wom-
en- are beyond understanding"
Now comes Mr.. K. who believes
that women are primitive and he
wants to draw me to his side.
MY wife gets mad when ! tell
her she is primitive, savage, un-
civilized; but I still maintain it's
a fact" he informs me. 81 sup
pose you're a married man. DR..
Popenoe-don't you agree with
me?"
Your supposition that ! am q
married man is 100 per cent cor
rect. Mr.. K. I'll go that far with
you, anyway. My wife and I
have been married for 80 years,
and / can't say that I have seen
any more signs Of primitiveness
about her, and other women
whom I meet, than in some other
persons I could name, who hap
pen to belong to my own sex.
Your idea is a common one
(among mem so I suppose there
must be some basis for it. Psy-
chiatrist Louis E. Bisch, among
many others, has argued for it.
He gives these 10 signs Of what
he calls women's savagery:
l. Proneness to deceit and dis
stimulation.
2. Cruel when reused.
3. Catty and destructive when
angered.
4. Jealous and envious.
5. Revengeful.
6. Unfair when personal con-
alteration is involved.
2. Too subjective and not OBJ
3ective enough.
8. Unstable emotionally.
9. Reasoning control unde-
pendable.
10. Savage in love.
What do you make Of those,
Mr.. K? So you go along with
all OF them? Take No. 10, for
tnstance-do you think the av.
erage woman is any more saw
age in love than the average
man? don't know of any
scientific measurements, so your
guess, or that of any other read
er. is just as good as mine.
Anthropologist Ashley Mon
tague wouldn't see eye to eye
with DR.. Bisch. He has Just
published a book called, 1.-THE
Natural Superiority of Woman"
in which he proves to his own
satisfaction that the other sex
has the best of us in almost
every way.
I'm not going to commit my
self. but I'm going to suggest
that you give this whole inter-
esting subject some study, Mr.. K.

that is not long enough to be

Today let me help you discover
how much you should weigh.
Most of the charts we see are
average weight charts which give
average weights at different ages
rather than the ideal weight for
each age. In fact. the weights
are often far from ideal because
the average man or woman gains
far too many pounds as the years
pass.
Factors other than your height
and age enter into the picture.
For instance, the woman who has
small bones should weigh quite
a bit less than one of the same
height who has a large frame.
