AlCnougn the SympaCneClc
nervous system is a highly i'm
portant structure and has much
to do with the general we'll
being Of the individual, there
are few who know that such a
set Of nerves really exists. The
brain Is the thinking organ. In
connection with it the cerebel-
lum, for instance, and the
spinal cord nerves. highly
complicated set Of fibres-are
established, which join up vari7
GUS other organs one with the
other, and keep the body and
mind running smoothly as a
unit.
Among other functions, the
sympathetic nervous system
plays a highly important role in
blood vessel and gland regula-
ton, This system comprises a
group of nerves which run
down on each side of the spinal
corn in a double chain. Al
though spoken of as d separate
entity, it nevertheless connects
up with the rest of the nerv-
Gus system in a most intimate
way.
Sympathetic nerves connect
u;th those hody organs which
contain muscular tissue, and
which are not operated by an
act of the will. For example,
such fibers run to the heart,
to the stomach and to the
intestines. Branches likewise
are connected with the organs
If sp9cial sense. A set runs
to the pupils Of the eyes, for
example, and all the blood YES
sells with muscular tissue re-
ceive sympathetic nerve stimu-
lation.
Supply Nerve Energy
One might say that sympa-
+hetic nerve fibers really sup
nlv the nerve energy which
has to do with sensations as
s,,ch and with the organs OF
nntrition. They affect the
movements of the stomach and
intestines as we'll as the con-
traction of the gall bladder;
But the contraction and dlla-
tion Of blood vessels, together
with the influence of the sym
pathetic system upon the
endocrine glands Of the body
stand out as the functions to
which physicians pay the most
attention.
In order to illustrate how
this system works, let us as
sume that q woman hears a
story with q double meaning
that embarrasses her. Her
thoughts in connection with
this story, and the mental
images which arise because OF
it, are, of course, engendered in
the brain proper, and in that
part of it, the cerebrum, which
we speak of as mind.
But at once another influence
occurs. Nerve messages are
sent from the cerebruEn down

fled that z must hold the Ace
of Spades, 5-Hearts; z 6-Hearts.
The opening lead was the
King of Diamonds. Before play
ing from dummy the declarer
counts his tricks as follows:
four spades. six hearts, one club
and one diamond: a spread for
a small slam, as 2 can discard
one minor suit card on a long
spade in dummy. Provided A
holds the King, Queen. Jack Of
Diamonds and the King, Queen
of Clubs there is a perfect
squeeze for an extra trick. To
try for this squeeze proceed as
follows: Win the first trick with
durnmy's Ace of Diamonds. Pull
trumps. 1t happens that process
takes only two leads. On the
second lead of hearts A may as
we'll discard his lowest dia-
mond.
Take four rounds of spades.
What B does is of no conse.
quence. A will twice follow
suit. Let A discard his two
lowest clubs on the last two
leads Of spades. Have z discard
his Six of Clubs on the last
spade led. His side has won
seven straight tricks. z holds
four trumps. Let him lead out
every trump that he holds. Y
must make two discards and A
must make four discardS.
When z lead off his first
three hearts dummy has to
make one discard. Let 60
dummy'S lowest doamond. A can
best discard one club, leaving
him the K-Q, and the Oh Of
Diamonds.
Now, at the end of the tenth
trick, the holding Of declarer,
A. and dummy are as follows:
Declarer-A- 27 ~ HS
A. " &KQ 90
Dummy-A- " %AJ 90
At the eleventh trick the
declarer must lead his last
trump. What shall A do? If
ne lets go one of his two high
clubs, both of dummy's become
good. If A let's go his top dia.
mond. dummy will let go his
losing club. and dummy will
then hold one club winner and
one diamond winner. A cannot
possibly avoid being squeezed
and giving the declaring side 13
tricks-one more than they
dared bid.
This sort of slam is inherent.
Ability to squeeze lies in the
way the cards are held about
the table. All the declarer has
to do is to watch what happens
and play for the added trick.
Never play a big hand with
out thinking of the possibility
of making a squeeze. Soon you
will find yourself winning tricks
that formerly you considered
lost. and impossible for any
declarer to win.

When Manners
Are Correct
BY MRS. BEECKMAN
A Club Sandwich

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
Kindly advise how one
should eat a club sandwich or
any three-decker sandwich?
Should one cut the sandwich
with a knife and use a fork
to eat it? I don't see how one
would use ones fingers. s.
The careful and correct eat
ing Of a club sandwich or any
kind of "skyscraper" sandwich
demands the use of a knife and
a fork and a lot of patience.
We shouldn't use our fingers. :.
you are right. for usually
sandwiches Of this kind are
goo-y, and if we use our fin
gers in eating them our fingers
become messy and the whole
business of eating the sand
wich becomes unattractive.
What we should do is to cut
off small mouthful at a time,
eating this before we cut off
the next piece. We can, If we
wish, place our knife down on
the plate after we have cut off
the piece, or, if we are mon
fork-Shifters," we can hold the
knife in our right hand and
convey the mouthful with our
fork in the left hand. This
latter method means that there
isn't so much fussiness about
the proceedings.

along the spinal nerves and over
to the sympathetic system. I'M
mediately these react in such a
way that the blood vessel walls
are expanded and flushing Of
the face results. In other
words, the little muscles in the
vessels known as "vaso-dilators"
have been acted upon, and more
blood therefore, flows through
the skin.
The Other Picture
Or picture an opposite reac-
tion, and think of this same in
dividual as being suddenly
frightened. The brain then
would send messages to the
sympathetic system which, in
stead Of stimulating the vaso-
dilators, would produce a SINH
lar action upon the so-called
"vaso-constrictors." The re-
suit would then be blanching of
the face, because Of less blood
in the skim
It is also known that the
sympathetic system responds to
cerebral influences and often
affects the glandular system in
marked ways. Should a person
walking along the street sud-
denly become alarmed because
an automobile bears down upon
him, the danger would be OBJ
served by the eyes and regis
tered in the brain. Then the
messages would be passed along
the spinal cord nerves to the
sympathetic system, which un-
doubtedly would stimulate the
adrenal glands.
