North's two spade bld was wrong tivo separate counts. For one thing, it is almost always wise to rebid A six-card major suit before mentioning a four-card major; for two spade bid was a the everse," and North should have had about one more honour-trick to Justify it.

South might well have gone a bli slower toward his slam, but in view of his excellent hand he cannot be blamed 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's diamond return with the ace and lead the heart jack through West. The latter 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, and considering East's play of the eight-spot on the first heart lead, this would be the correct decision--- unless East had false-carded.

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- dustry and the professions or kept on to reduce men's wages, or to keep them out of employment?

Heavy Toll

In working-class homes, it is 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.

Economic freedom for the mother in the homo may, appear to many far-fetched, but it de- manda somb consideration. **

In connection with the report that dockyards and other places went on strike last Thursday following a de mand for aut increase of 40 per cent. in wages, the following facts were obtained from Mr B. C, K. Hawkins, Labour Omeer, yesterday:
