Mothers of Today Have Harder Task Science Has Created Burdens Unknown to Ancestors. BY GRETTA PALMER Tim.* Spril Writer "X JEW YORK, Jan. 12.—Modern scienc? has done a great deal to make some jobs easier, but motherhood is not one of them. This is soundingly brougnt out by Worth Tuttle in the current Atlantic Monthly. “In the past," she writes, “with housework and child care unsweetened by talk of electric washers and toxin-antitoxin, a woman with a bent toward mental creativeness — at least those women from whom we have heard —knew enough not to marry. Today a girl who likes to paint or write or run an office goes glibly into marriage and motherhood and finds too late that there is no such thing as a permanent maid, and that, though diphtheria can be prevented, there is as yet no safeguard against the common and frequent cold w-hich, for a child, usually means a temperature and bed." We have been—there is no getting around it—a little harsh in our dealings with mothers of recent years. We have pointed with pride to vacuum cleaners and automatic ovens and assured the little women that their work was just so much child's play and why didn't they keep up with their music. Perhaps we were wrong. Jobs Differ Widely Perhaps we forget the essential fact that a housekeeper and a mother are not quite the same thing —that the inventions which make the running of a home easy for the childless wife have done little to simplify the difficult task of bringing up a child. Perhaps w r e have overlooked the fact that modern science, far from simplifying the tasks of motherhood, has given the conscientious women of today ten times as many things to worry about as her grandmother ever had. For the mothers of past generations were in ignorance of all the niceties of bottle-boiling and threehour feedings and ultra-hygienic baby care which make the modern parent’s schedule one that crowds the twenty-four hours of the day. They did not know' the extreme necessity for keeping their spirits unruffled in the presence of their impressionable young at the risk of having them develop a nasty neurosis at the appearance of a mother's wrath. Why Burden Is Heavier They did not even realize that it is psychologically wrong to punish a child or to send him out of the room when he is annoying you. They did not know that the display of your natural affection for the youngster might develop in him a pernicious and harmful Oedipus complex. In a word, they were a very lucky and carefree generation of adults indeed. The mother of today has these burdens piled upon her by science: They are worth carrying, to be sure, since she realizes that they will help her to bring up a healthier and happier brood of children. But it seems hardly fair to belittle the efforts she is forced to make. There has been entirely too much idealizing of the woman who combines a husband a career. Surely a few salvos should be saved for the girl who combines a husband with a family.

Contract Bridge

Today’s Contract Problem South is the declarer at six clubs. West opens the king of hearts. It does not look very difficult for- South to make six-odd, but you will find that it takes perfect timing . Try it.

BY W. E. M KENNEY Secretary, American Bridge League TO finesse or not to finesse is a problem ever confronting t u e declarer at contract. Certain finesses must be taken, but don't always be ready to take a finesse just because it looks as though it may produce an extra trick. Guard against losing finesses. There may be a play in the hand which will develop the trick for you without a finesse —a squeeze or an end play or a hold-up. Today’s hand presents a simple hold-up, and then introduces a nice squeeze play for the extra trick. While South's hand has plenty of high cards, it has no distribution, and the hand should be opened with a suit bid rather than one no trump, in an endeavor to have partner play the no trump. However, when North goes to two clubs, after partner's opening bid of one spade, he shows that there is no advantage in his hand becoming the declarer at no trump. After North's constructive bid of two clubs, it is a question whether South simply should bid two no trump or jump to three, which is

a mild slam try. But the hand really doesn’t like a slam. n a u WEST opens the king of diamonds. South, the declarer, must of course, refuse to win the diamond until the third round, because the club finesse must be taken. To make game, declarer can win two spades, two hearts, the ace of diamonds and then must win four club tricks. To win the diamond lead before the third round would defeat his contract. After winning the third round of diamonds, South leads the jack of clubs, which East refuses to win. The five of clubs is played, the queen finessed, and East wins with the king. The spade is returned, South winning with the ace. Now the declarer has an opportunity to make a pretty play. He must cash his ace and king of hearts immediately. The drop of West’s ten practically marks him with the queen. The small club is played and won in dummy with the ace, West being forced to discard a diamond. The two good clubs in dummy are cashed, declarer discarding the deuce of hearts and the deuce of spades, and West is helpless. He can discard the nine of diamonds on the first club, but on the second club lead he must drop either the queen of hearts, makes dummy’s jack good, or the jack of snades. which nermits the declarer to win the last tw’o tricks with the king and ten of spades.
