Tex Richard, when dying. is said to
have asked his wife about little
Tex" The only Rickard child Is q
little daughter. Maxine. The senti-
mentalist and the short story writer
could make much gist of 50 intense
q paternal longing for son. breaking
forth from the subconscious in q mo-
ment Of delirium.
There's no denying that q son to
both fathers and mothers Is Of much
more concern than q daughter. They'll
deny 1t, generally, Of course, but q
light in their eyes tells the story.
Why Is It? Just q hangover from an
age-old day when men had q place In
the world denied women? A matter
Of the family name being handed

Berlin is reported nervously pros
trated by the death Of her 24-day old
son, Irving, junior, who was said to
have cemented the ruptured bond
which had existed between her and
her father since her marriage to song
writer, Irving Berlin. There is little

the little daughter was powerless to
do what the little son seemed to have
done in the way OF reuniting estranar

the daughter could cause such havoc.

The Bidding: South bids one spade
and all pass. Declarer properly gives
preference to the four-card major
rather than the five-card minor or no
trump with worthless doubleton.
Deciding the Play: West opens
with Ace Of clubs and then plays
6 Of clubs. East wins the trick with
Queen Of clubs. East now plays King
Of clubs. What card should South
play? :
The Error: Declarer trumps with
Jack Of spades.
The Correct Method: South should
discard 8 Of hearts. He should not
weaken his trump strength. No mat
ter what cards opponents play, game
is now assured.
The Principle: When holding only
four trumps In closed hand and only
three In Dummy, do not permit
strong hand to be forced.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Kidney Diseases

Aldney diseases
Question: w. E. s. asks: rs there
any disease of the kidneys that
causes them to rot away? II so, is
there any possible cure?"
Answer: # the kidneys are forced
to overwork in throwing out poisonous
substances, they will sooner or later
break down and degenerate as they
do in such diseases as nephritis and
pyeletis. Have q diagnosis made In
your own case, and then find out how
to stop injuring your kidneys
Lump on Neck
Question: A. M. writes: Several
years ago fell on my head and evil
IDENTITY dislocated something at the
back OF my neck. The cartilage has
thickened there, causing q bump.
Would friction wear this away?
have been to an osteopath with very
little success. It is not painful,
merely unattractive. I would appre-
ctate your advice"
Answer: The protusion you have
felt at the base of your neck is no
doubt due to the natural extension of
the spinous processes of the seventh
cervical vertebra. I find that many
patients have noticed this ON them
selves and think it is something I'M
natural. It seems more prominent in
some people whose necks are not well
rounded, whether they are too bony
or have a padding Of fat over this
part Of their spine.
Nervous Breakdown
question: L. O. asks: us there
any cure for a nervous breakdown?
II SO. what is the best known REM
edy?"
Answer: The first thing to do is
to find the cause Of what you call a
nervous breakdown. AS soon as this
cause Is removed your breakdown
Will be broken up and you will not
know where it has disappeared.
