The Bidding
 The hand was played at con tract and South opened the bid ding with one club--a rather weak opening bid. West overcalled with one heart, North bid two diamonds and South went to two No Trump. North bid three diamonds and south went to three No Trump.
 The Play
 West had the opening lead and played the queen of hearts. De- clarer refused to win the trick, preferring to hold off for at least one more round.
 Arthur Halle of Cleveland was helding the West hand and well reasoned that 1t might be better to let the declarer run off his dia- monds. It might embarrass tho declarer for discards, especially as MT Halle in the West would be able to discard after the declarer so the next play by West was the 10 of diamonds which was won in dummy with the ace of diamonds. The king of diamonds was then led from dummy which caught Vests queen.
 Four more rounds of diamonds were led from dummy. East fol- lowed with one diamond and then echoed in clubs by playing the eight and then the four spot. His next discard was the three or spades. The declarer was forced to discard three clubs and d spade. West discarded two spades, a heart and a club. The declarer then led small club from dummy which East won with the ace. A small heart was led by East. de- clarer played the four and West won the trick with the 10.
 It was rather easy for West to get a reading on the South hand. SO before cashing his ace of hearts, he led a small spade. dum- my played the 10 and East the five, and South was forced to win the trick with the ace. He then cashed his king of clubs. West discarding the king of spades, but South must now lead a heart into Vests ace jack. West thereby won the last two tricks which de- feated the declarer's contract one trick.
 It looks as though 1t might be rather easy double dummy to make three No Trump with the North and South hand, but if West refuses to lead a second heart. throwing North in the leai with a diamond instead. good de- fense will prevent the declareT from making his contract.

DOCTOR MAKES SICK CALLS IN OWN PLANE
By NEA Service

By NEA Service
 Beaver City, Neb.-No automo- piles for Dr Frank A. Brewster when he makes his sick calls. It's an airplane for him.
 Dr Brewster has been using an airplane for 14 years to make his calls. Since the war he has had 12 different craft, all of which he has piloted himself He is licens- ed pilot, but hires a pilot-me- chanic to fly him about now.
 His territory covers about 200 square miles. and his plan eenables him to keep in close touch with farm families and isolated com munities. He has often had to have his patient tie up white sheet so he could see it and identify the house at which he was to call.

want girls to be companionable and
some want them to smoke, drink, dance,
and 60 on wild parties. Dancing is good
sport and I don't think it's sin if you
dance. Since X. Y. 2. doesn't want his
girl to dance. I guess he's some old crab
who thinks it takes off too much shoe
leather. These males have got me boil

The turned-up Vatican often wears
a spray of flowers across the back
as the one illustrated. The turned
up alpine type is likely to stick a
feather in its cap.
Still another brimmed hat hugs
the back of the neck and then
comes forward with a quick flare
over the left eye. A piquant effect
one eye uncovered and the other
mysteriously shaded.
And a good way to settle the
question if you're on the fence
whether an off-brow or a brinmed
effect is your best bet.
In all the types, black and brown
are the colors most often seen
again taking winter coats into con-
sideration. If you feel that you
must brighten up with touch of
color, have it in your quill or clip.

NEW YORK Jan. 15.-Time was
L Y when some one had to step
forth at every public gathering and
say: Ladies will please remove
their hats" A precaution which
wouldn't have been necessary if the
hats had been proportioned like the
new midseason ones. Small /.
outlining the head.
They're designed that way be-
cause they must be worn with the
high fur collars on winter coats.
A practical point which you'll
heartily applaud if you've ever
worn a hat which was bumped by
the coat collar every few minutes.
OF course you see most of these
mid-witner hats in felt. But newer
are the felt-and-straw combina-
tons, and hats entirely of straw.
These straws often fool you . {. i.
look like fabric, and almost feel
like it-they're so soft and pliable
Like berets? Plenty of beret
turbans topping off mid-winter cos
tunes (and they're becoming to
many women who can't wear the
regular beret)
We see them in dark colors with
brilliant quilts at the back. Or
with stand-up bows of the same
color. For high back trimming is
one fashion trick for making you
look an inch or so taller than you
are.
Draped turbans, also, are nesting
inside winter fur collars. Draped
meaning, of course, that the
fabric has been patted in here and
pulled up there just as dress fabrics
would be.
Turbans haven't a corner on the
entire mode, however. Brimmed
hats make a good showing. ('Fine!"
says the woman with a rather full
face or the one who wears glasses)
But even the brimS turn up in
the back, to avoid the coat collar.

don't be too hard on the boys.
After all, they are not responsible
for hard and fast rules of society,
which were laid down long before
they were born. Ironclad rules
about chastity we're originated for
protection of women. Women had
to be virtuous to prove the pa
ternity of their children and there
by substantiate their claim to the
property Of the father.
Men we're under no such neceS-
sity for curbing their desires. Here
in lies the origin of the double
standard. Men won't behave prop
erly because women must, to pro-
tect their children. For centuries
women have been furious because
men claimed liberties which nature
denied to women. The situation is
an obvious injustice, but fury is
poWerless to change the facts.
Dancing in itself is an art and
not Objectionable. I imagine it
has become a bit besmirched in the
eyes of the boys because of its as
ISOLATION with disorderly parties. I
doubt if boys object to dancing in
the right setting. If they do, they
are privileged to write to me and
say so.
Dear Jane Jordan-I moved here from
a small college town a year ago. was

Dear just Nineteen It's just that
you haven't met the kind of boys

you can and eventually you will
