A |( .chelor 'ax of 86 a year seems a But It s likely to be ; 'epped up as the state treasury r t'ts emptier. In Mussolint-land a man who earns a' much as SSOOO a year pav-, the government from $l5O to 51*00 annually for the privof remaining unmarried, inadIr.ition 'o his regular income tax This tax increase* what's more, f wit -, every SIOOO of added income. Marriage Rate Declines The proceeds of Mussolini's bache*or tax may have helped drain the Pontine marshes. but the lmpe-i----ft.on of the tax doesn't seem to have ] convinced many bachelors of the terror of their single way of life. Th" /marriage rate in Italy, as tn this /country, has been dropping steadlily during he depression. You can't kp’t away from the economic mterLpretanon of matrimony. I have heard tell that you can [lead a horse to water but that you [rant make hun dunk. Herr H;t(ler has made the bachelors drink ithe nuptial wine by loaning 1000 •marks to bridal couples. Preference in employment is also given to married men. So it came about that there wor* 82.000 more martriages in Germany the first half ,of last year than there had beer, /the iear and fore. This system puts i the German girls in somewhat the • same position as the war brides who I were married by draft dodgers. I (should not like a man to marry me t as an advantage to himself. Alan s Soul May Benefit The* Utah legislators may be reIverting to the mores of their Morlinon fathers. They think perhaps [that it is healthy lor a mans soul Mo be the head of a family, if not of several families. But what would ‘he tax accomplish? It would only rpate another underprivileged class ind make the patchwork of the lass struggle still dizzier, i Here in one front yard you'd have •the intrenched bachelors, smoking ttheir pipes and holding out as long •as their diminishing incomes lasted. [There, in attacking formation, you'd [have the great army of married [men. determined to shanghai their [opponents and force them to marry Ftheir daughters and sisters and [other female appendages. The not-so-happy benedicts are Idriven to madness by the spectacle of men who enjoy an atmosphere jof freedom which they themselves ean no longer breathe. But the bachelors—instead of [meeting a frontal attack—set about I undermining the position of the rmarried men. And I don't mean [that they would use gas bombs, lather. Seriously, I think bachelors are a [spoiled lot. Thrv seldom return a woman's hospitality. They think ■ that the charm o f their presence 1 should be sufficient reward to a I hostess. But that's not all that's ; wrong with them. The average [bachelor is more likely thirt not to r hea selfish and nirituaily shallow [married long ago and committed himself to liuhtan responsibilities. Your bachelor may have wit and f "harm at and a lovely savoir-faire, but I n a pinch he will put himself first. ist as Alec did m "Memory of Love.'* Still I think it would be too much ’.ike fascism to persecute the Kichelor boys. They have a right to >iic\e that happiness lies in the pursuit of freedom. ,<;//;/, scocts ro BE EXTERTMXED Members of oirl Scout Troop No. will be guesis of J K.

Dim lights gleamed from ♦he window sos the room, extending to tne right on the floor below, width she knew’ to be the nursery, and a white-clad form passed and "passed. The fretful cry of a child (ame up to her through the soft, summer night. Long after midnight a car came in’o the driveway and she recognized Dr. Laird as he passed ben >.'h the arc light that burned •■’er the front entrance, his broad shoulders straight, his hat in his hand. A moment later she saw him through the nursery w indows as he walked beude the nur>e between rows of small beds and stood beside the one about which a screen had been drawn that morning. Then her eyes turned toward the di rant part of the city which she had called home. High against the sky. the twin lights on the top of the radio tower winked through the darknes.'. The tower was just a few short blocks from the street on which she had lived. She had stood at the base of it and looked up at the towering skeleton that dav years before when Harry had come to her and told Well, the cops hate got your dad at last.’’ It was always Harry who had come to her when she needed him. His arms had held her close as she stood beside her father's hospital cot. and he had always been war in those long months since. Back there—in that part of the great city, he was waiting—wondering— Six hours ago he had gone up the narrow stairs that led to the apartment and had found her gone: without a word. Twelve hours before he had whispered of his love for her as he held her in his arms. Harry had loved her since she w’as 15. Yesterday morning she had sat on the edge of a cot in a long room filled with other cots and gray blankets and watched the first signs of dawn come through the window toward the cast—a window high in the wall—just a patch of blue and w hite sky. A window high in the wall. Jingo shuddered. That life back there—meant other windows, perhaps—high in the wall. But she wanted Harry. Sharp, dry sobs racked her. Harry loved her. Harry was all she had—but Harry could not always save her. And she could not go back—to those high windows. Somewhere a clock struck five. The gray duskiness of night was slowly lifting and over toward the cast the sky was becoming streaked with color. A milk wagon rattled by and again there came the baby's cry from the nursery floor below. A sick baby. Dr. Laird had said to her: "My hobby is kids—poor kids—sick kids ” a a a DAWN was creeping, too. into the little, white room at the end of the hall; gradually picking out the clean, white spread on the bed, the white dresser with its linen cover, and the desk with the pile of books, an inkstand, the gay, quilled pen. There was an oval rug on the floor and a small, square table stood beside the bed with a lamp. Over the desk was a framed picture of the Madonna and Child. Jingo had seen the same picture in the art museum. She opened the battered, old suit case and took from it the few possessions it contained. There was a pale, blue, silk frock she had worn when she went to the movie with Harry four nights ago. He had eyed it admiringly and had turned her around several times, laughing down at her. "You look like a bluebell, baby. But that's not the color I mean. It's that richer, darker blue—sapphire blue, that's it And silver slippers, too. Jingo sweetheart, when v.e get that break." She placed a frame picture of Tom Carter on the dresser; a debonair Tom Carter with his hair sleekly brushed back, a smile beneath the tiny, dark mustache. And directly opposite, the picture of his young wife, the mother Jingo had never known. There was the blue celluloid mirror, comb and brush each with an elaborate "J” in gold. Harry had given them to her last Christmas. The few little frocks she had made herself, the two pairs of 'hoes and a small pile of underwear; all clean, ironed and neat. She took a bath, scrubbing herself furiously, remembering the long room of cots and gray blankets. There had been no time for a bath yesterday afternoon. She had been busy every moment and she had to get away before Harry came back. She washed her hair and stood .before the window drying it. A bird began to sing in the lilac bush diricetly below. Jingo stood still and listened. It had been a long time since she had heard a bird sing. They didn't sing over in that section of the city near the river. There were no lilac bushes there. For a moment she recoiled as a knock sounded on her door. Then she pulled the robe about v er and opened it. Mrs. Sykes, matronly, gray-haired, stood there smiling, a white linen uniform on her arm. "Good morning. Jessica. Here is a uniform for you. The doctor said you were about Miss Smith's size and we took a chance on it. lam gome to take you down to break-

fast. There will only be you and me and Miss Smith. Miss Evans is still on night duty. She stays on until Miss Smith eats. My, howpretty your hair is in the sun.” Thank you." briefly. She slipped into the white dress as Mrs. Sykes waited. "It just fits.” exulted the older woman, jubilantly. "The doctor says I am to get you two or three colored ones for work and another white one and a pair of linen shoes. You can wear the white ones when there is company, you know.” Dr. Laird was bent over his desk as they w-alked down the hall to the dminz room. The door was open. "Momin’. Dr. Laird,” called out Mrs. Svkes heartily. "I'm taking Jessica in to breakfast.” 'Good morning. Mrs. Sykes. Good morning, lassie. You slept well in the little, white room? And did you hear the robin this morning?” As they paused at the door for a brief second. Jingo caught the smile from the silver frame. "Yes. thank you,” she said its they passed on. Miss Smith, middle-aged and small, busied herself with her breakfast. acknowledging the introduction to Jingo with a nod of her head. Then Miss Evans, weary eyed, was at the table and smiled at Jingo kindly. "You are all the doctor said you were, my dear. You are pretty and quiet. I hope you will be happy here.” Jingo nodded unsmilingly. "Thank you.” she said again. Mrs. Sykes and Miss Evans talked incessantly over their toast and coffee. They spoke often of "Dr. Bob.” Every one called him Dr. Bob, evpn the young man who had smiled down at her yesterday in the hall Little Winnie was very ill although her temperature was down two points. Miss Evans said, and Dr. Bob had stayed with her until nearly 4. She didn't sec how he could get along with so little sleep. And then Mrs. Sykes was telling Miss Evans that Dr. Bcb thought it would be a good plan for Jessica to superintend the cleaning and scrubbing. Jingo looked up. "Tillie, the cleaning girl, is getting careless.” Mrs. Sykes told her. "Dr. Bob thinks we should have someone to watch her, and later on he wants you to go into the diet! kitchen and help prepare formulas. It will give you a good idea of diets for children—” ana THE reception room of the Laird Hospital for Children was a cheerful room with a brick fireplace at one end, comfortable chairs, a divan and tables. Tillie Erickson, a big Swedish girl, her dress rolled bulkily about her knees, plump arms bare to the elbows, was washing the floor around the rug when they came in. "Tillie, this is Miss Jessica and she is to superintend the cleaning. She knows how to clean—” Tillie settled back on her crossed legs and looked up belligerently. “Ay bane cleanin' sint; ay came over, six year—” "Dr. Bob says you are to listen to Miss Jessica. Tillie!” Mrs. Sykes said sharply. "You remember the stained floor where the medicine was spilled the other day and the dust under the nursery beds.” When Mrs. Sykes had gone to her duties, Jingo stood for a moment and watched Tillie as she swished the cloth energetically over the floor. Days and days of this—with no word from Harry. He would never look for her in a children's hospital. There was a telephone on a table halfway down the hall. If she could got Sam—he was always at Casey's poolroom. "That floor needs soap and water," she said quietly to Tillie. “You can't clean with just a damp cloth. And wipe it dry. too —” As she crossed the room, she looked up at a painting in a heavy, gold frame over the mantel—a young woman, red lips parted in a smile, shining, dark haird framing an oval face, exquisitely lovely. "That bane Mrs. Dev—Airs. John Dey.” Tillie informed her, as she stopped for a moment to rest. "He built this hospital. You bane like her.” For a long moment Jingo stood looking up at the girl in the painting. "He loved you and lost you!” she whispered. “Just as I loved my father and—lost him, too. He didn't think of someone who loved Tom Carter—when they got him. And Harry—is all I have since Dads gone. Hp has been good to me—he loves me—and I'm ” She stopped short. A heavy

voice came up the hall from Dr. Laird's office, and for a moment Jmzo's hand went to her throat, It was a familiar voice. Whitey s! "I’ve got a load of brick outside. Will you sign this paper?” Dr. Laird's voice, softly burring: "You will find the architect on the ■ west side of the building. He will tell you where to unload it." Jingo stepped back quickly. Whitey must not see her. And yet just a moment ago she was whispering a telephone number under her breath: Casey’s telephone number. She was going to talk to Sam. Whitey was now swinging down the hall beyond and out of sight. The dark, shadowed eyes smiled

Solution to Previous Contract Problem BY' W, E. M’KENNEY Serrptarv American Bridge League TODAYS hand is not difficult, but it is rather unusual. It was sent to me by Earl Bryant, Lakewood, O. It is unusual in the fact that the hand can be made in two different ways. You can make the hand by means of a squeeze or an end play. West is justified in making a two heart non-vulnerable overcall. North’s bid, however, of two spades is just a little optimistic. Also South's bid of five spades is quite optimistic. I believe it would be better to make a constructive overcall of three diamonds, hoping thereby to direct a club or heart lead. Os course, after the five spade bid, North was justified in going to six, due to the fact that he has the ace of hearts. aaa NOW, if West were kind enough to open the jack of hearts, the hand could be made eas’ly by allowing the trick to ride up to the queen. But at most tables the queen of diamonds was opened. If you are playing the hand for an end play, you will win with the ace of diamonds and cash the king. Enter the dummy by playing a small spade, and ruff a diamond with the

down at her from over the mantel as she turned to the open window. Had she not stopped before that painting a moment ago. she would have been at the telephone in the hall. Whitey would have seen her —and Harry would have known. A group of men were in the driveway, studying a blueprint, which one of them held outspread before them. As he turned. Jingo saw the quick smile, the flash of white teeth. And his voice came up to her: "The afternoon sun strikes this side. The door will open on the garden and there will be plenty of windows—” (To Be Continued)

10 of spades. Lead another spade and ruff the last diamond. Now you pick up the last trump, lead the ace of clubs and follow with the queen of clubs. West will have to return a heart. This is a double dummy play and can be made only when you see all the hands. The safest way to play the hand is for a squeeze. Win the first diamond with the ace, cash the king and lead a trump. Then take the club finesse. West will get out of his hand by returning a club. You now run the hand down until you have only the ace of spades and the queen and seven of hearts. Dummy will have the ace and eight of hearts and the 10 of diamonds. This forces West to bear down to the king and jack of hearts and the jack of diamonds. You now lead the ace of spades and West Is hopelessly squeezed. A heart discard means two heart tricks for the declarer, while a diamond discard establishes dummy's 10 of diamonds. iCopyright. 1635. bv NEA Service. Inc.)
