Mother’s Job Is Providing for Children Bearing Babies No Honor If Means Are Lacking to Rear Them. BY lin.KN' WELSHIMER N'EA Seruc# Staff Writer Marriage, according to Benito Mussolini, is a productive institution that should be encouraged. He gave evidence of this fact again she other dav when he proclaimed Mrs. Rando Brasiliani, who hao had 12 children * 14 years, as a glorified example o L woman wiio has ful-

though she may Surpass a.- a homemaker, but because of the multiplicity of times she has won the title. In brief, the Italian mother has won high honor. The major contest for prolification, however, is the stork sweepstakes which the will of Charles Vance Miller, a Canadian millionaire sportsman, established in 1926. The woman who would, in the next 10 years, register the most children at the vital statistics department, was to receive $500,000, the will stated. There are only two years to go now. Mrs. Matthew Kenny leads with 11. Her nearest rival has nine. However, there is something in favor of the Canadian population incentive. There at least will be money enough to take care of the youngsters. Honor Is Due We have no intention to disparage the honor due women for the physical risk which motherhood entails. Yejt being a mother implies more than that. It is the manner in which a woman graciously and consistently rears her family that counts, not the number of children in her brood. Men and women have a right to as many strong, healthy, happy children as they can provide with a comfortable home, a good education, and a training in the mechanics and idealism of living. But for people to multiply so their tribe may increase and inherit the land, regardless of ability to meet responsibilities, is a different matter. Training Counts It isn’t the number of names on the family roil that distinguishes a happy family, but the training for citizenship the children receive. It is as important that souls grow in stature as bodies. Youth must be taught to think .straight as well as to stand straight. It must be encouraged to live pure, speak truth, right wrong, follow the King—not a military leader—even as the knights of an ancient Round Table did. Quite frequently a church will present a Bible to the family with the largest attendance at a special service. Or a county fair will give a refrigerator to the most productive husband and wife who assemble their children on a certain night. If the winners are worthy of the loot, it shouldn't be because of the size of the family assembled. It is because of the companionship, sharing, give-and-take and warm uiiderstandmg qualities which group ,iife has fostered. Mother Has Job A mother has her work outlined for her in advance. Youngsters adore pretty women, smiling women. They want to be proud of their mothers. They want cookies and milk end kisses when school is dismissed. Bandages for bumped knees and sympathetic ears which like io hear about the hundred in arithmetic and the fistic combats in the alley are important. too. If Mrs. Rando Brasiliani brings up her children to be good men and w omen, she is worthy of her government's honor.

Solution to Previous Contract Problem BY W. E. M’KENXEY .Secretary American Bridge League HERE'S a hand chess players, ought to like. I received it from Harry C. Wallin, Janesville, Wis. He describes it as a “gambit block.” and it is a very nice defensive blocking play. In response to West's double. East elects to bid his four-ca r d heart suit. West's opening of the ace of hearts is unfortunate, as it sets up three heart tricks in dummy. e a a WHEN West shifts to the queen of clubs on the second trick. South wins with the ace and now he has to try and get into dummy, as he has three good heart tricks there. So he leads the jack of spades.

East refuses to win and declarer's next play is the ten of spades, and here is where East makes his nice gambit block. He refuses to win the ten of spades, deliberately sacrificing the king of spades. But even though declarer can lead the ace and pick up the king, you can see that he still is forced to lose two diamonds and two clubs, which, with the heart ace, defeats the contract two tricks. If East won either the jack or the ten of spades with the king, the at erer would then have been able to get into dummy with the queen, to discard the two losing diamonds and a club on the hearts, thereby making his contract.
