the shifting of labor supply that one plant alone will involve. Free supply and demand breaks down under such dislocations. Labor supply and Army and Navy drafting and recruiting are all tangled into one complicated probs lem of manpower, as the British found when they took men.out of industry for the Army and had to return some of them to their former jobs later when production fell down. They placed labor supply and military manpower under one management in Bevin’s labor ministry. . Here several agencies have a finger in the pie in addition to the Army, Navy and the Selective Service system. There are the WPB’s labor division, the U. S. Employment Service, Vocational Education, the Department of Labor’s activities, and C. C. C.

' ALL AGREE THAT some centralized administration is necessary. But everybody wants to run it. Paul McNutt, head of Social Security, feels he has prior claim because the unemployment service, which would be the core.of the labor supply machinery is in his agency. He has developed a basic plan which, whoever gets it, will\probably be adopted. But Hillman balks, His friends say that his former co-head of OPM, William 8. Knudsen, was recognized by being made a lieutenant general in charge of Army procurement. They think labor's representative on the old OPM should have recognition. Labor representatives generally feel that manpower is their dish and that labor should be recognized by placing one of its own in charge as the British did in giving that job to Bevin. This inside battle has been going on for weeks, with the Army, Navy and Selective Service objecting to having their manpower supply included in the in-~ dustrial labor supply scheme. ‘This week President Roosevelt is expected to try further to get an agreement with his new “war labor council” composed of A.

OPEN CAMPAIGN AGAINST DUMPS

Board of “Works and City Health Officials Watch On South Side.

The Board of Works and the City Health Board today launched a joint enforcement campaign to clean up the South Side dumping situation. Louis Brandt, Works Board president, said all holders of permits for dumping grounds will be warned that any violations of sanitary laws will result in arrests. Inspectors will tour the. grounds regularly to check on violations and report them to the City Health Board. Health Hazard Charged

The action followed hearings before the Works Board last week when large delegations of South Side residents complained that the dumps had become a serious health hazard and that rats and insects were overrunning their homes from the trash holes. Several residents also said they had been forced to flee from their

odors from the dumps. The Works Board and Health officials have ordered garbage and other © insanitary matter cleaned from the dumps. Recent investigations revealed that some poultry and fish markets have been dumps ing refuse into some of the trash lots.

Inspectors Issue Warning

“Health Board inspectors will visit every poultry house and fish market on the South Side to deter mine where they are dumping their refuse and all will be ordered to dump far away from the city,” Brandt sald. “If the dumps can't be kept within ¢he sanitary laws of the city some of them will have to be closed and filled in.”

GIN RUMMY is taking the rest of the country just as it took Hollywood where it has just about replaced movie making as the town’s first interest. The game is simple, Two or more can play. And probably 130 million people are either playing it now—or want to. This and three articles to follow will tell you how to play the game. Gin Rummy began as a “minor” pastime in the New York bridge clubs, notably the Knickerbocker Whist Club, where duplicate bridge was first played in America. The “minor” games at bridge clubs are those two-handed and three-handed games played while waiting for a fourth to complete a table of bridge. Backgammon, a game as old as chess, but little played in this country, swept the country after it was revived in the card clubs. Pinochle, casino and piquet have all had spurts of popularity from the same cause. : ” » ” - GIN RUMMY, as the name indicates, is one form of the game of Rummy which is played in many different ways.

have this in ctmmon, however— the object of the player is to form his hand into sets or melds. Each set must comprise not less than three cards, .and there are only two kinds of sets that count: three or four cards of the same denomination, such as three queens, and three or more cards of the same suit in sequence, such as| eight-nine-ten of - spades. In some circles, a sequence is limited to three or four cards, so that it will not have an advantage

this is a “house rule.” The general laws of Rummy permit sequences to be built without limitation. 8 # » IT IS BETTER to use the term “sets” than “melds.” By melding is usually meant the placing of some ye face: up. on the table to score points for. the combination. In many forms of Rummy, including Gin; there is no melding during the course of the game. Play ends when one player can lay down his whole hand, and.then all hands are ‘exposed. a Two other terms should be understood before we go “into the

ached up sin sets. By a “complete hand” we mean one with mo odd ‘cards, all cards being. formed into sets.

The four Orthodox churches in the city—the Bulgarian, Greek, Rumanian and Syrian—this year will observe Lent on the same days as other churches.

Because .the Orthodox churches use the old Julian calendar, their feast days usually occur from one to five weeks away from those of the churches which go by the Gregorian calendar. Easter is a variable feast, figured on the basis of when the Paschal moon is full, and may fall as early as the 26th of March, or as late as the 25th of April. Easter in 1943 will fall on that [latter date. In the year 32ii A. D., the Council of the Christian Churches at Nice decided that Easter should fall on the first Sunday following the Paschal full moon “which happens upon or after the 21st of March, /
