New Golf Bal.
Fails To Get
Full Support

NEW YORK, Sept. 15-R-The
United States Golf associations
decision to replace the balloon
BALI with one OF greater weight.
has failed TO arouse any unanimous
expression OF approval from lead
ing amateurs and professionals
A poll OF a score or more OF top
flight players reveals an almost
even division OF opinion as TO the
wisdom OF The change which will
bring into play on April Is. 1892
a ball OF the present diameter, 1853
inches, but of heavier weight. The
u. S. G.. A. has not yet determined
the exact weight OF the new ball
but there have been indications
that It will weigh 1852 ounces. The
balloon BALI weighs 1-55 ounces
One Of the most ardent support
ers OF the balloon ball" has been
Tommy Armour. British open
champion. Armour believes the
present ball Is the greatest con-
tribution that has been made 70
the game and added that he was
sorry TO see the ball changed"
Tough on Differ
Horton Smith thought the latest
change would make the game all
the easier for the professionals but
that the duffer would find plenty
OF trouble with II.
cit viii be harder to get off the
ground for one thing" said Smith,
"and I feel II win respond 70 a
hard blow much more sensitively
than does the preset ball"
Willie Klein agreed with Smith
and Ed Dudley said he had heard
that experiments with a ball Of
the same size and heavier weight
had developed that the ball floats
and ducks badly"
Among leading women players,
Mrs. Helen Payson Corson said she
did not Ike the contemplated
change, on the grounds that II
would rob women players OF lots
of distance.
On the other side OF the fence
were Walter Hagen. Leo Diegel,
Willie MacFarlane. Gene Sarazen.
Jess Sweetser. Chick Evans. Jock
Hutchinson. and Gene Romans.
Hagen thought the increase in
weight would help star and duff
fer" and Diegel thought the COM
bination or the present size and
the old weight. if decided upon,
would be perfect" Sarazen en-
Enthusiastically approved the change
and suggested further that players
be given the option OF playing anv
weight ball between l-55 and ly62
ounces.

How to PLAY
Contract
Bridge
BY Logan CIendening, M. D.

BY Logan Clendening, M. d.
A forced bid, or following
bid, is one made over a previ-
Gus declaration to disclose GER
tain elements of strength, with
out particular reference to the
amount of sure trick strength
held. An opening bid is termed
a free bid because nothing has
preceded to obligate a declara-
ton falling below standard re-
quirements; but when another
player has opened, contracting
one often holds sufficient
strength to feel forced to de-
clare, otherwise partner may
think that subnormal strength
is held.
Unless a hand can be rebid
safely, to undeceive partner,
the minimum requirements for
a forced bid of a suit over an
adverse trump declaration are:
l. One sure trick; 2. Two prob
able trump tricks; 8. Average
support of three probable tricks
for a shift by partner; 4. Prob
able ability to fulfil contract
assuming that partner holds
average strength of three PROB
able tricks.
Obviously, any hand worth
an opening bid must also be
worth a forced bid Of one. A
five-trick hand suitable for an
opening bid of one may prop
erly be utilized for forced bid
of two.
Differing from Auction, where
the declaring side scores what
ever it wins, the declarer at
Contract can score toward game
only what he bids Unless you
are prepared to go to the mat
and contest the thing to a
finish, what is the sense IN
bidding against a weak declara-
ton made at your left, reach
ing you undisturbed? Many a
game is lost through allowing
an adversary another chance to
declare. It is useless to oppose
an opening of Heart made at
your left that cannot go game
at the score, but each of the
hands given below calls for the
bid indicated when Heart has
been bid at your right:
l-Spade
AA-J-10-7-4 vs. %K-7 ~Q-l0-S-5
1-Spade
VA-K-6-5-3-2 y i0-9-7-4 &s-3 IS

Suppose that in each case
cited below that you hold the
following hand and that neither
side has any score toward the
game:
AA-Q-9-5, V7,5-3, J6K.7. .~Q.lo-0-5
If your partners opening bid
of Heart is not disturbed by
second hand, bid 1-Spade. AS
sist hearts if partner rebids
them. In case partner shifts to
2-Clubs over your 1-Spade, you
must bid 2-No Trumps. If part
ner's second bid happens to be
an assist of your weak spades,
bid 2-No Trumps to show how
short your trump suit is.

The revival of the use Of
honey takes us back to an
earlier day. Sugar, as we now
use it on the table, is a COM
paratively modern food. The
sugar of our grandfatherS was
brown unrefined cane sugar.
Among other substances used by
our ancestors for sweetening,
and which were probably more
frequently and prominently used
than sugar itself, were molasses,
maple syrup and honey.
The dietitian, in judging the
quantities Of honey, has to give
it a high place. It is a solution
of the simplest and purest sugars
-levuloS predominating. 1t can
be used for everything that
sugar is used for, provided there
is no objection to its taste.
Energizer Is Needed
An argument has been made
for the use OF honey in reducing
diets instead Of sugar. OF course,
in any reducing diet sugar is to
be, to a certain extent, avoided.
Yet everyone needs some ener-
gizer, and the only good form
Of energy we have is some kind
of carbohydrate. If the reduc-
ing patient can stick to green
vegetables and get his energy
out Of them, all very well, but
many people demand some more
rapidly absorbed form. Other
wise they get low spirited and
weak.
For such the argument is
that honey is more satisfying
and that therefore they take
less of it than they would
sugar. It certainly is true that
honey, being a solution Of sim
pie sugars, is Immediately alb
sorbed and Immediately used
for energy purposes. Thus the
reducer feels the effects he
wants sooner than if he were
eating more complex carbohy-
drateS and stops before he has
had too much. This is a rea-
sonable argument, and since
honey has 20 per cent less cal
oric value than sugar, it doubt
less is a good thing to offer for
this purpose.

And wisdom lies, my dear

What a difference the fur

An Extremely Rich Effect
Look how gorgeously blue fox

coat we've sketched above. The
squarish shawl collar is luxuri-
ously large. Standing up in
back, framing the face, it's a
boon to anyone's looks. And

fur that border the bell-shaped
flounces of the sleeves! These
bands end in swirls way up the

richness!

do you think you'd have to pay

Why Not Wear New Pellerine?
Though there's somewhat less
fur trimming on the Coat pic
tured below, it's equally smart,
and, perhaps a little more un-
usual than the one we've just
described. The cape collar,
known as a pellerine, is a Vic
torian revival. And right in
line with popular period fash
ion that there's so much talk
about. The little collar that
seems to grow up at the neck
can be worn either flat or
standing up, as pictured. The
coat faStens with two buttons,
and there are two more on the
cuffs. Obviously, these cuffs
aren't trimmed with fur on &C

muff. It comes right with the
coat-isn't that exciting?

nose. The object of treatment,
therefore, is good drainage. This
is accomplished by keeping the
nasal passages clean, using a
douche several times daily. Ordi-
nary salt solution is as good a
solution as any to use for this
purpose. A solution Of sodium
perborate is also valuable.
Spraying the nose after the
douche with a mild oily liquid
such as oil of pine tends to
diminish the discomfort.
