Advice for
Love|orn
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX,
Dear Miss Fairfax

Dear Miss Fairfax:
Is it possible to be in love
at II years Of age? The young
man is Is, and is of a very
peculiar type-doesn't talk much,
and you can never tell whether
he is pleased or bored. He
never makes love to me, but
always kisses me good night.
He goes with other girls, but
never asks them for a date.
All the girls are wild about
him. He treats every girl just
alike. I date with other boys
and he knows it, but he never
shows any feelings over it. If
I continue to go with him,
should I tell him of my love.
1 have cared about him for
two years. BOOTS.
You have started in rather
early to be seriously in love at
IT, and it's extremely probable
that you will be in love several
times more before you sign up
for life. I would keep up my
friendship with this young
man, but do not give him your
time exclusively. Don't think
of telling him you're in love
with him.

Any one Of these processes
would kill any known micro

strated that soap, as it reaches
the consumer, is sterile except
as the surface may have be-
come contaminated by handling.
No Bacteria Found
2. Bacterial examinations were
made of 20 new cakes of soap,
and no bacteria were found on
any of them. Examination of
rs used cakes of soap obtained
from as many sources, includ-
ing hotels, machine shops, rail-
road stations, a sewage dis
posal plant, various kitchens,
two abattoirS, and a number Of
specimens from a public bath,
failed to show, on culture, a
single living organism.
Another experiment was made
as follows: A cake Of soap was
put in a sterile dish and inocu-
lated with living germs from
fresh cultures and incubated.
Twelve Of the most virulent
varieties of germs were used.
The germs were >all dead In less
than half an hour except in
three instances.

inutility of an old rule. The

same inquiry to be made of each
officer in ascending order of

even the commander-in-chief
knew the reason for the order.
Finally an aged pensioner told
the story: Your grandfather

them. His order has never been

In the early days of Auction
Bridge some one ruled that three
quick tricks must be held to
open the bidding third hand,
and that three and one-half
quick tricks we're required when
opening the bidding fourth hand.
Those sentries have never been
withdrawn from guarding those
positions. Suppose that we try
viewing the situation from a
common-sense standpoint.

DOES a bar of soap trans
NIT germs? This question has
been re-opened by the re-
searches of DR.. w. R. Redden.
We recorded in this column q
few weeks ago the researches
which indicated that soap had
distinct antiseptic power S
that in fact it was better than
most antiseptics. Incidentally
in connection with this our at
tention was called by certain
manufacturers of iodine to the
fact that soap does not kill two
of the most dangerous germs
tetanus, or lockjaw, and the
streptococcus, and that iodine
does. We are glad to note this
fair addition to those remarks.
Since soap itself is antiseptic
in qualities, the old idea that
a bar of soap can transmit dis
ease needs some revision.
Report on Soap
DR.. Redden's report in part
follows:
l. In the first place, the COM
mercially-made cake Of soap is
free of bacteria. The manufac-
turing process Of soap kills all
bacteria that might be found
in the fats used. This manu-
facture consists Of rendering

Too long we've put off our
inclinations to rave about the
stunning new umbrella model
we discovered, and added on
the spot to our winter rainwear
wardrobe. It's the SmarteSt-
looking thing we've seen in
many moons, though the center
sketch below barely gives a
hint of its very .swagger air.
Not the kind of umbrella that
when you let it down, spatters
raindrops around, for it slips
right back into it's neat leather
cite case. Practical? Yes.
And that's not all. It's just
less than 20 inches long, in
cluding the pyralin button
knob, so it goes visiting packed
inside the smallest weekend
bag.
A Practical Loop
This is only one, however, OF
the seasons fashions being fea"
tured in umbrella departments.
Usually, it's the handle that's
first to catch your eye. It's
fun to look for one that's really
individual. We've illustrated
at the left below a pure dye
silk umbrella with a new kind
of loop handle that caught our
eye Immediately. Don't you like
the shading of the colorS in
this silk design? And the price
is just about SIS.
Carved of Wood and Prystal
We'd like to illustrate at least
dozen of the smart new
handles and things we found,
but there's not room, and so
we hope you'll be sure to see
them in the stores. YouM love
the animal heads, for one thing.
Here's a wooden parrot on the
right with physical beak and
eye and top-knot that we have
in mind for a very important
Christmas gift. It's made all
of pure silk, too, and costs less
than SO.

for around the same price, it
comes also lined in net, be.
cause warm rainy days require
an even lighter weight galosh.
The way, Of course, to keep
really comfortable during this
changeable, uncertain weather,
is to have both kinds on hand.

idea in fashion always intrigues

counting upon him for even the
average dummy support OF three
tricks, or for more than one
defensive trick. Do not open
contracting, either in third or
fourth position, unless prepared
either to outbid opponents or to
prevent them from going game.
Instead of blindly following
the ancient rules use the follow
ing more practical ideas.
Strength in both major suits,
with 21a quick tricks, usually
prohibits an adverse secondary
bid from scoring game at
love" Weakness in one major
suit obligates having at least
three sure defensive tricks.
Strength only in the two
minor suits requires at least
31a sure tricks to justify late
opening bids unless prepared
to bid for game. If you are
certain of winning three de-
fensive tricks, your opponents
can not score game either at
clubs or diamonds. In case
you are strong enough to have
even 212 sure tricks, almost
anything in yoa1 partners hand
must prevent game at a minor
make
When you have only one of
the two major suits to fear,
your three sure tricks must
save game if your partner can
win a single trick. Three and
one-half sure tricks is the least
strength justifying an opening
bid, either third or fourth hand
(unless you are willing to out
bid oponents), provided you
are weak in both major suits,
but the strength prescribed
will stop game in case your
partner has any strength.
The Washington times., 1931-11-14

About the most important
things there are in stormy
weather are galoShes and an
umbrella-whether or not you
own a raincoat.
Silk-StOcking Fit
Isn't it worth throwing out
those cumbersome last years
galoshes to buy a lightweight
rubber pair with real silk-stock-
ing fit-galoshes that flatter
feet and ankles as cleverly as
the smartest daytime shoe?
You'll throw out all your old
ideas on galoshes anyway, as
soon as you see the models
we've illustrated above. Or at
least, by the time you slip
your toe in one and pull it on!
In the first place you'll find it
almost unbelievably light in
weight. And you'll be amazed
at the way it molds itself to
the contour of your foot with
the smooth flexibility of silk.
Part of the secret of this per-
feet fit lies in the lining, for
the elastic quality has been
woven in. Nor did they limit
such a valuable lew feature to
one type of galosh. It comes
in ai-y Of the styles we've illus
trated.
TRINITY Tailored
Because we all know from
past experience how practical
and simple a talon fastener is,
lots of galoshes will be worn
this coming winter with the
Smartly trim appearance Of the
moire rubber model at the left
above. This kind has a snap
at top, underneath the tailored
cuff, to make doubly sure that
it will fit the curve of your
ankle and keep out the rain and
slush. So that you may buy
this galosh to wear with any
shoe you own-or one for every
pair, If you nke-there are five
heel heights-aS there are in
all the three types sketched.

Washington, December 10 - (UP) - Immediate opposition de- veloped in congress today to an inL dication in President Hoover's spe- cial foreign affairs message that further relief must be granted some nations on war debts.
 Chairman William E. Borah. of the senate foreign relations conn mittee, said he could not counte- nance an extension of relief until Europe had put her own house in order. He Is for the original one year moratorium and also for the Johnson resolution for an investi- gation of foreign loans, which the senate today approved. Senator James E.

Vessel Was Sinking Into
 the Quicksands When
 Coast Guards Arrived Just in Time

Norfolk, Va, Dec 1O.-UP)- Five men who had clung to the masts of the fishing trawler Anna Mae for more than 12 hours while the craft slowly submerged in treacherous quicksands, were res- cued to-day. The crew were cling ing to the wavering masts when a coast guard life saving crew from Cape Hatteras, N. C., approached and rescued them.
 The coast guardsmen left the head station for the Shoals at dawn. As their life boat bobbed up and down in the seas, they saw in the distance the masts of ves- sel. As they came closer, five sailors were seen clinging to the masts, few feet above the sea waving their hands. Within an hour all were taken off, while the trawler settled lower and lower in the sand.

Poughkeepsie, N. T., Dec 1-(U. P.)-Vassar freshmen have found a unique way to protest against an unpopular course-they cheated in the final examination. the college newspaper revealed to-day.
