of his excellent hand he cannot be blumed for feeling that, after North had reversed, there must be a splen- did play for twelve tricks.
Dummy had no diamonds, hence East would scarcely give declarer a finesse that he could never take for himself. The
proper play was to win East'a
diamond return with the ace and lead the heart jack through West. The Intier would cover and the king would win.
Now
the success of the contract would
depend extirely on declarer's guess of the next heart play. He could finesse against the ten in West's hand, or could play for the drop of the ten-spot from East. The latter plan would win, of course, ant considering. Enst's play of the eight-spot on the first heart lead, this would be the correct decision-- unless East had false-corded,

Freely translated, that ob- servation from one R.A.F. man to another would be: "Flight Sergeant; I expect an Army man, and don't be offended if he looks as if he has a lot of money. We may have to give him a bed, but It's all right with the flight commander, and he might have the real nows about that headquarters panic."
Yes, these wars make words, The R.A.F. (Raff, if you please) are responsible for most of them. Young pilots never speak of Army men. They always speak of brown types. They themselves are always boys. The boy who sits around in the institute ogling the girls is a Canteen Cowboy or a NAAFI Romeo.
THEY
are queerly res-". pectful about their business. They never talk "about flying," or use words like
flip. Always it is a avinte.
And you never aviate 14 crate or a kite or any of theso civilian slang words. You aviate an aircraft, a machine, or, more particularly, a Daffy (Defiant), a Wimpy (Welling- ton), a Hurrybox (Hurricane), a Spit (Spitfire), n Lizzie (Lygander), }} Blonburger (Blenheim), Old Faithful (Anson), a Maggle (Miles Magister)..
When you land, you hit the deck and, if you damage the plane in landing, you bend it. If you are tired of it all, you are browned off, and, to д lesser degree, a
member of the Jabo Club. That means that you are Just About Brownod Off.
The boys award, their own crosses, in these three grades:
Wooden Cross--For bending one alrcraft and staying alive. Iron Cross--For boiding two aircraft and staying alive.

You'll hear one of the boys maybe shooting a line (that is, telling a tall story). He will be received with a chorus of Kerdumpf, Kerdumpf ... Kerdumpf. It is de- vastating.
Most of the slang words are affectionate. The padre is a devil dodger. An air. craft hand is an erk, tanka are roller skates, an Italian. plane is an Eye-tia, You don't have several bears; you have a couple of jugs. The sen is the drink,
Sometimes the derivation is rather involved. For in- stance, Pilot Officer Dicken- sen was pronounced to look like W. C. Fields. From that you get Gracie Fields, and the pilot officer is now generally known as Gracie.

WOMEN IN WARTIME-NO. 2
Women New

BY ELIZABETH ANDREWS
the
Welsh National Organiser for the Women's Section of the La-
bour Party.
WILL womens win economic free-
dom in this war?
After the last war women won their political freedom.
They becanic MPa., Cabinet Ministers, aldermen sheriffa, ma- yors, council chairmen, county, urbes and rural council, magistrates, lawyers, preachers,
They served on Government Commissions, and entered indus tries and
professions hitherto closed to them
Now we come to this war--and the future.
Many questions are asked by thinking women. What will hap-. pen to us when the war is over?
· What part will we play in the New Britain?
Shall we be driven out of In- distry and the professions or kept on to reduce men's wages, or to keep them out of employment?
When shall we get equal pay for equal work? When will women 'get economlo freedom?
These queitions need attention
now.
Women are called to work of national Imperiance that needs in- *telligence, skill and courage,
They are called from the kit .chon to 011 up every kind of post- tion, and are expected to work well with little training.
Never Again!
No ban an married women in war-time! They are called, upon. to mon our industries, to keep the home fires burning and to keep up the health and morale of their families.
Married women, doctors, nurses, teachers, are called back to the job for which they were trained but which they had to give up on inarriage. The country, had been

Heavy Toll
1
In working-class homes, it la taken for granted that mother does all the sacrificing she often prides herself on it but the toll in ill-health is a heavy one.
Economile freedom for the rother in the home may appear to, many far-fetched, but it de- mands some consideration.
It is time that the home maker had a square deal, Home making has been the Cinderella of all the Industries..
..
The early Socialists believed in tio economic freedom of woman. The war is helping to bring it' about temporarily. It is up to woman to keep. it, permanently, ̧·
The boat way to achieve this is for every woman in Industry. and the professions to join trade unions and stand alongside their men in the demand for better conditions generally.
