Do You Know
That---

Tired eyes aren't pretty no
matter how lovely may be
their shape and color. Tired
eyes have a bad effect upon
surrounding tissues which sulk
in sympathy. Never read in a
dim light. Never read on a
moving train because then the
eyes are constantly endeaVoring
to adjust vision to varying dis
tances. Temporary relief i
found in the cold compress.
During the swimming season,
legs and knees lack pristine
fairness. They get sunburned
and tanned, collect blackheads
and otherwise take on defects.
A 5 minute massage with cocoa
nut oil will keep them in form.
Rub vigorously with flattened
palms. Give the knees special
attention and the skin surface
under the knees, at the back.
This treatment is recommended
TO little dearhearts who wear
anklet socks.

The Rhymins
Optimist
By ALINE MICHAELIS
Rewards

By ALINE M1CHAEL1S
Rewards
OF all rewards beneath the sun
The best is this: to hear
within,
Above the worlds loud strife
and din.
A quiet voice that says: "Well
done!"
Some labor long for worldly
fame,
And count it as life's highest
prize;
Star-bright, sun-bright in
their rapt eyes
Shines this fair gift of mans
aCcalim.
And others hold the praise OF
friends
A thing more dear, Of greater
worth;
Loves voice alone they ask
of Earth,
For every lack it makes amends.
But best of all the guerdons won
In Earth's applause, or friend
ly hearts;
The voice which greatest
bliss imparts,
Is one within that says We'll
done!"

For Love
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX
An Authority on Problems of
Love and Marriage

AS far as other women'S hus-
bands are concerned, hope it's
a "hands-off" policy. Likewise,
girls who take pride in a decent
sense of sportsmanship respect
each others rights as to en-
gagged men. It is too much to
expect other women to stand
aside until this and that love
affair has crystallized? Or is
there kind of acknowledged
competition that is perfectly
legitimate, as long as no actual
engagement has taken place?
Dozens Of Letters
I get dozens Of letters asking
me these questions every day
in the week. How far may a
girl 60 without doing anything
underhand? And is the old ad-
age true-that all is fair in love
and war?
My own feeling is that a
women of honor and delicacy
carries loyalty pretty far. She
not only doesn't want to stand
in the way of a friends roman
tic projects, she doesn't even
want to seem to be an obstacle
to her plans. A woman who is
thoroughly square" doesn't care
about having the charge of crib
bing her girl friends young
man laid at her door.
We must admit that loyalty
to ones girl friend is a good
deal easier, for instance, wnen
the constant friend has a bad
complexion. dumpy figure ard
no art in wearing her clothes,
than it is for a girl whom men
flock around like bees after
honey-bearing flowers, or for
one of those radiant creatures
who have only to walk into a
room to create a small social
revolution.
These reflections are sug-
gested by letter from May W.,
who seems to have the perilous
gift of making every man fall
in love with her. She has an
older sister who, I fear. is con-
siderably less attractive. This
sister was on the point of be-
coming engaged to young man
when May came home from
school and something immedi-
ately happened.
What Did May Do?
Mays mother is furious. The
sister who has been superseded
weeps and goes round with red
eyelids. May is held to be the
culprit Even Papa, her devoted
ally, looks askance. and May
writes to ask how really wicked
she has been-because she
really couldn't help the young
mans falling in love.
No, my dear, you can't help
being pretty and attractive, and
fatal to mems peace of mind:
but you could have been cool
to your palmer sisters beau,
when you saw how things were
going. You're not going to have
an easy life, my dear May, but
do be merciful to sisters and
friends who are less we'll fav-
ored. Don't steal other girls
sweets when it's so easy to get
your own.

Bidding went; z, Heart: A,
Pass; Y, 2-Diamonds; B, Pass:
z, 3-Hearts; A, Pass; Y, f.
Hearts, ending contracting.
The opening lead was the J
of clubs. My partner knew
that the trick must be lost if he
played low from dummy. The
only chance to win that first
trick was in case A had under
led his Ace of the suit. Such a
lead never would be attempted
by a strictly orthodox player,
but A often did irregular things
that baffled less astute players.
The K of clubs went up, and the
Ace and Q won the first two
tricks.
Feeling confident of winning
one spade trick, B considered
his best chance to defeat the
game contract. Stereotype play
called for a return lead of dia-
mondS, but Fox Cox saw some
thing promising him a trump
trick, as we'll as his spade trick,
so he led back a club, obliging
dummy to ruff. When my part
ner led the last remaining
trump from dummy, B covered
with his Q. My partners K
won the trick, leaving B with
the 9-5, and my partner with
the A-8 of spades.
The declarer made no imme-
diate attempt to pick up
trumps. That would have been
useless. The j of spades was
led, losing on a finesse to BIS
K. The latter led back his
last club, obliging my partner
to trump. Fo make a long
story short, my partner finally
had to give B trump trick,
going down one trick.
sat and admired the clever
play of my adversary, but
had to groan inwardly that my
partner was not as keen a
player. z could have gone
game, even against the clever
play of B. Look over the
hands, to discover whether you
can detect what z should have
tried.
Try this, unless you see
something better. When you
win the fourth trick with your
K of trumps, and know that
you must lose one heart trick,
possibly two tricks in that suit.
Lead off your two winning dia-
monds. Lead your j of spades,
smelling that the K lies in
BIS hand, or he might have led
back a diamond. Do not H.
nesse the j. Win the dummy's
Ace. Lead the Q of diamonds.
What is B to do? If ne
trumps, you pick up both his
hearts. If he does not trump.
you discard your last remaining
spade, thus losing only two club
tricks and one heart trick.
When my partner groaned
over BIS smart play, I groaned
over the fact that my partners
training made him see no way
to play the hand without taking
the losing finesse in spades.

CHAPTER A

When I entered the business
of collecting live exhibits it
really amounted to commercial
izing hobby. Invariably the
man who enters the field starts
witII a natural love for ami
mails.
No matter how long you have
been in the game you find your
self singing out some appealing
specimen for special attention.
This is particularly true OF
the jungle's youngsters. There
is always a wistful cub or fledg-
ling for which you develop so
real an affection that you find
yourself wondering how you're
going to be able to part with
it when you're back in clvlll-
zation, and the hard-boiled job
of dispoSing of your collection
begins.
You're in the realm Of the
intangible the minute you try
to figure out exactly why you've
grown fonder of one baby AMI
nal than another. 1t is as
difficult as trying to determine
why one child has more per-
sonal charm than another.
You suddenly discover that
in the little creature to Whlch
you find yourself attracted
there is a suggestion Of a love
of fun, of downright roguiSh-
ness perhaps-there is some
thing of sparkle about the little
cuss. a twinkle in the eyes that
denotes a humorous outlook.
You always feel about the OBJ
iect of your attachment that it
would spend a good deal OF its
time laughing, if animals were
addicted to that habit.
All of which quite naturally
reminds me of Mitzi, Mike and
Oscar, infant representatives OF
the elephant, tiger and horn
bill families, respectively. I de-
veloped as real an affection Tor
this trio as for any animals 1
have ever handled.
Baby Elephant
Mitzi was the baby elephant
and quite a famous gal she
became toO-that I brought
back for those famous vaude-
Williams, Singers MidgetS. In
the animal-collecting game one
grows accustomed to strange
assignments and there was
nothing unusual about my re-
ceiving an order from Mr.. Leo
Singer for an elephant small
enough to work with his
midgets. This was about a
dozen years ago, as I recall it.
1 picked up MitZi in a teak
lumber camp north of Rangoon,
near the Irrawadi River. Her
mother was lumber ele-
phant" and Mitzi was born
right in the camp. A cute little
girl with a nice little curl right
in the middle of her forehead,
she was just what was wanted.
Even before she had a chance
to grow up and join the ranks
of Rangoon's younger genera
ton of Stage-struck elephants
the restless little pachyderms
that thought life in a lumber
camp was pretty dull-she was
treading the path that leads to
footlight fame.
1t was quite a job hauling
Mitzi by bullock cart 20 miles
from the lumber camp to the
nearest landing on the Irrawadi,
where we could get river boat
for Rangoon. Every five miles
or so with the aid of Lal
Behudar) I let her try her legs,
letting her descend by means
of an improvised gangplank
that I brought with me. Mitzi
Semed to appreciate this and
we quickly became good friends.
She seemed to understand that
in making those stops 1 always
made a point of picking a spot
whereshe could be sure of
few tasty mouthfuls of grass
and leaves. She would rub her
forehead against me by way of
saying thanks, everything in
her manner indicating that she
Thought the man who WAS hloW.

Prom Plans
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
I am going to a school prom
with a young man who has no
automobile. but I will be able
to take our car. Would it be
better taste, that evening, for
him to come to my house, or
for me to call for him? He
lives three miles from my
home. E.
If it is at all possible, have
him plan to come for you. For
you to go for him would be
most undignified, d, and I
wouldn't like to have you do
this. Either he should ar
range his own way to come for
you, or, if you wish. send your
car for him to come TO your
home for you. .

President Hoover was still de-
batting with his advisers today
over the details of his personal
program for the remaining two
weeks.
He will speak in Madison
Square Garden next Monday
night, with stop in Newark en-
route, and he will make one final
personal appeal for the highly
important electoral votes of
Indiana and Illinois. But whether
this dash to Indianapolis and Chi
cago is to come before or after
the New York appearance had
not been decided early today.
Likewise, the project of Mr..
Hoover'S making a dramatic trip
across the continent to vote in
his native Valifornia, speaking en-
route at st. Louis, Denver and
Salt Lake City, was still unde-
cided. Four years ago he made
such a trip.
Mr.. Hoover has been subjected
to considerable pulling and haul
ing over this Pacific Coast ven
ture. Some of his close advisers
have told him they consider such
a trip absolutely necessary IF
the West is to be saved"

ECONOMISTS TALK
NATIONAL PLANNING
Harvard U. Expert Claims
U. S. Already Using
Trade Idea.

BY the Associated Press.
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass, August 10.
Economic planning to eliminate
future depressions was discussed in a
round table conducted at the Institute
of Politics today by Prof Edwin F.
Gay of Harvard University and DR..
T. E. Gregory Of the London School
Of Economics.
Despite the temporary appearances
Of what is called the breakdown of
the economic order" Prof. Gay said,
there is actually today far more plan
ning,' in q variety Of forms, than a
generation ago, in so far as planning
involves proposed management OF the
currency system to stabilize either
prices or aggregate social income. N
Gregory opposed 1t as imposing upon
the economic system degree of in
flexibility inconsistent with continued
economic progress.
Economic progress, he said. must not
be sacrificed through price fixing as
long as there is no reason why So
cieties as rich as the United States
should not even in the depth Of de-
preston take care of the elementary
needs OF food and shelter for the whole
Of the population"
Benjamin Cohen, formerly Of the
Chilean embassy, In washington, said
there is no reason to fear that the
Chilean government may be taken over
| by Communists. He said Chileans are
too individual to accept communistic
RECOMMENDATION as a panacea for social
Ills"
