SILLY SYSTEM

Victor Riesl, the distinguished labor
columnist who was blinded on the
order of goons who didn't like his
dedicated efforts to free labor unions
of crooks and racketeers, points out
that American dollars are pouring
into the Soviet war chest" Some of
these dollars come from the sale of
Christmas ornaments produced in
East Germany, Czechoslovakia and
other satellites. But commerce of this
Soviet-enriching kind is not limited to
seasonal items. Between January,
1853, through June, 1856, Mr.. Riesel
states -. we imported $34, 100000
worth of food from Russia, East Ger
many, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Po-
land, Albania, Bulgaria and Romania
And this at the very moment when
there is widespread severe starvation
behind the iron curtain. Almost $780,
100000 of that went for canned hams
from Poland"
To make Il bad matter worse, the
communist countries mentioned aren't
good customers of American agrIcul-
ture and industry. Poland, for in
stance, doesn't use any material part
of the millions she gets from us for
canned hams to buy U. S. farm pro-
ducts. She doesn't follow the two-way
street principle OF trade.
Friendly nations, such as Holland,
Scandinavian countries, sell meat and
other products to us. But they also
buy many things from us, including
things OF agricultural orr in. y u,~u

The holidays are gone. The
smashed autos have been tow
ed into garages and Junk heaps,
banged up toys are lying a
round, and, lots of tinsel and
other fancy wrapping is in the
garbage dump. In fact all that
most Of us have to remember
Christmas by is a dented bank
roll. As one young blade ex-
pressed tive put it on" or
course there were folks who
still remembered the Day as
being the birthday of christ
ianity and who were so old
fashioned as to look for the
marks of Santa's foot prints in
the Sooty chimney. These for
tunate folk are rich indeed.
Some years ago there lived

be was always strictly sober "a

his neighbors became SO en-

Tor that one day he inquired
Of the toper-"Why do you
make a habit of drinking all
year and then being strictly on
the wagon come Christmas?"
Heck" replied the man, "It's
downright dangerous to get
drunk with all these amateurs
and starters" The old boy must
have been on the right track

terms of 1866 dollar values. The same
size family in 1855, by contrast, aver
aged $4,000 - which means that it
was able to buy more than four times
the goods and services of its forebears
of four generations before.
This gain appears even more re-
markable when evalued in the light
of the initiation that has taken place
in late years, and has deprecated the
dollar by close to half. 1t is a testi-
monial to this country's epochal
achievement in increasing the pro-
ductive power of the people.
But there is more to it still. The
material miracle of mass production
is given justified credit for the vast
Improvement in general living STAN
dards. But mass production would
have been of small moment unless
there had been developed a compar-
able system for getting the goods to
the consumers who wanted them and
would use them. That system was de-
veloped, and we call it mass distribu-
ton. 1t was pioneered by the chains,
and has been successfully applied to
the operation of other kinds of re-
failing. Its basic principle, once con-
sidered revolutionary, is now taken
for granted - that store or group
OF stores can earn a satisfactory total
profit by selling large quantities of
goods at very small unit profit. That
principle represents the biggest break
ever given consumers anywhere.

The three buildings, at the right in the picture,

still left in his hand and the i'm
|portant nine and eight in dummy
he could cash the entire suit
even though Mr.. Dale tappar-
|ently) had started with four to
the jack.
Why take a chance on clubs
when diamonds had been
proven" to be safe? So Mr..
Abel returned to his hand with
IA high spade. led the ten of dia-
monds and finessed it. Mr..
Masters won with the jack and
led a heart. enabling his partner
to cash six heart tricks and put
the contract down three.
In making his play of the king
of diamonds under the ace, Mr..
Masters had reasoned as follows.
Clearly Mr.. Abel could not take
more than two spade tricks. He
had only one heart trick or two
at the most. So it was just as
obvious to Mr.. Masters as to Mr..
Abel that one of the minors had
to be run without loss.
Since Mr.. Abel had disdained
the diamond finesse at trick two.
there was no question but that
he planned to go after the clubs.
And Mr.. Masters knew the club
finesse would work because he
himself held the king.
There was q remote chance
that the sacrifice" of the king
of diamonds under the ace
might give Mr.. Able an extra
trick. But what is 80 points
compared to a fine chance of
defeating the contract?

WORDS, WIT
AND WISDOM
BY WILLIAM MORRIS

Each section Of the country
has regional peculiarities of
speech-expressions and pro-
nunciations which the local resi-
dents cling to and know to be
correct, even though the rest Of
the country may differ. Down
Boston way. for example. anyone
who pronounces the town name
Quincy with anything other
than a zee" for the last syllable
is regarded with suspicion. In
the same fashion. st. Louisians
incline to take a dim view of
people who pronounce their
city's name 'loo-ee" rather than
"loo-iss." Natives of San Fran
cisco regard with whitening
scsrn barbarians who call their
fair city Frisco
Similar passions seem to beat
in the breast OF the average
Pacific Northwest resident when
he hears the phrase skid row."
The term. you are told politely
but very firmly. is skid road"
The first skid road hang
ing-out place for human dere-
lictS-was in Seattle and was so
named because it was made Of
creased logs over which lumber
men used to skid logs. One editor
of a respected lexicon Of slang
fatty labels skid row q 'perver-
sion" Of skid road.
Nevertheless, the expression
heard in the greater part Of the
country is skid row" and this
is the formulation found in the
newer dictionaries.
In the words of the program
director of a radio station in the
Pacific Northwest: Not being a
native but being a word purveyor
to many native Washingtonians,
| feel obliged to conform. How
ever. my argument is this: Per-
haps skid road did originate
in Seattle. Therefore, Seattle,
Tacoma. Olympia. Longview
and other Northwest numbering
camps had their skid roads
However. Chicago, San Diego
and many other cities which
have had no logs to skid in my
opinion. have their skid rows
which term derives from the
fact that they are frequented by
men on the skids.' Am l right
or wrong?"
