.Trying Task Remains Lot of Mothers Importance Not Lessened by Changed Status in Modern Day. BY GRETTA PALMER Ttnte* Special Writer WASHINGTON. Jan. 24 —‘You hear a great deal about the mothera of great men,” *aid Mrs. Charlotte Perkins Oilman in an address here before the National Committee on Federal Legislation lor Birth Control. “You never hear about the mother* of the little men. Yet women have made them what thev are. too —we women are responsible for all the people who make the world what it is today.” "And now look at it!" was implicit in the fine worn with which the veteran feminist assumed responsibility, on behalf of her sex. for Hitler and Capone and Two-Gun Crowlev—for corrupt politicians and sweatshop owners and the men involved in the San Jose lvnching. This seems to leave the fathers out in the cold—a* Inconsiderable in their effect on their sons' development. as the teacher allotted to him in Grade 2. In the normal home the father is good deal more important than that, but it is still true, we think, that a boy is likely to be made or marred by the kind of mother he happens to draw. .Mistake May Change History Motherhood is the most common and popular of women’s careers, and it is no exaggeration to say that the happiness of the next generation depends upon how effectively the mothers of today fill their roles. A stenographer, a woman lawyer or a milliner may make a botch of her career with no more serious effects than an individual failure to make both ends meet. A mother's mistakes in bringing up her family may change the course of history fifty years after she has died. And how much thought or preparation does any blithe young girl give to preparing herself for this enjoyable but extremely difficult Job? Just, we hazard, about none. She studies to become a competent cook or decorator, but for the job of bringing up her young she trusts to that blessed fallacy, “maternal instinct ” Oh, there is a last-minute scramble on the part of the young mother of todav to learn the details of hygienic baby care. She memorizes diet formulae and gets the nurse to teach her how to bathe a baby and when to let it cry. But for bringing up children whose little souls will not be warped by the wrong kind of rearing she has usually less training than the unions would demand of a bricklayer before they would give him his card. More Than Casual Joh There has been so much saccharine sentimentality attached to the name of "mother” in the past that the brisk and realistic young girl of today suffers a sharp reaction. She knows that reverence is the last thing that she is going to expect from her children and that sh* is not going to wear a halo for the rest of her days because she happens to have some pleasant children tumbling around the house. In her horror of old-fashioned sentiment she is likely to minimize motherhood and to look upon it as an incidental little job. to be casually sandwiched between appointments. It is just as well as to remember sometimes that it is more than that. Without in the least exaggerating the pains of childbirth—without any hysterical talk of the "descent into the valley." w’o can still assure the modem mother that her task compares in importance quite favorably. with that of any legislator in the land. His mistakes can he repealed. Hers must, endure into the next generation and perhaps the one beyond

Solution to Previous Contract Problem BY W. E. M’KENNEY SerrFtarv American Bridge Learue YOU always are obligated to your partner and should endeavor to give him your best. You have no right to jeopardize your contract just to try a fancy play. Do you realize that, if you go down 1.000 or more points on a hand, you have lost all that you ordinarily can be expected to win in one evening’s play? Your first obligation to your partner is to make your contract —you can try for extra tricks after that is assured. Following is a simple hand, tut one in which many players slipped.

West does not have to jump the bid over one no trump as any re-.-pon.se to an original one no trump bid is forcing. To bid three clubs over the one no trump might get you into a bad slam contract. It is better to wait and see if partner shows a fit in the hand. Against the three no trump contract. West opens the queen of diamonds, which the declarer wins with the ace. He now leads a small club and West plays the eight. The careless player might make the mistake of winning that trick with the ace and then taking the spade finesse. If he does. West will return another diamond, knocking South's king out. and a club trick still must be lost; therefore, the contract will be defeated. BMW SOUTH can see that the only way he can make his contract is to get four club tricks: therefore, he should proceed to set the club suit immedntely. There is no break that will give him five tricks, so he might as well lose the first trick as any. Therefore, the three of clubs should be played from dummy. East will win the trick with the nine and return the nine of diamonds. The declarer can hold off for one round, and when East continues with the eight of diamonds, South wins with the king, discarding a heart from dummy. The ace and king of clubs in dummy are cashed and when the club suit breaks, the six and five of clubs are cashed. Even though the declarer still has the heart suit stopped, he should not risk the spade finesse even now because West still may hold two diamonds, which would be enough to defeat the contract. The two spades should be cashed and when the queen does not fall, the ace of hearts should be played, which gives the declarer three no trump and his contract. • Copyright. 1534 by NEA Service.
