Turns Pro
Texas Wonder Girl to
Accept Sports Writing
and Film Offers.
By United Press

BEAUMONT, Tex, Dec. 22.-Mil-
dred Babe Didrikson, girl Olympic
star, today was arrayed definitely as
a professional planning to accept
sports writing and film contracts
and later hoping to go in for pro-
fessional swimming "in a big way"
The 19-year-old Texas wonder
girl" Wednesday night issued state
nent writing finlS to two and half
years of record breaking COMPETE
ton without parallel in amateur an
mails. Her status had been the sub
ject of controversy since her SuSpen-
sion by the American Amateur Ath-
letic Union two weeks ago following
appearance of her picture in auto
mobile advertising.
Holidays at Home
She announced her decision at the
home of her parents here, where she
is spending the Christmas holidays
and advised Lawrence Di Benedetto.
New Orleans, southern A. A. u.
chairman, of it in a telegram. She
quit her file clerk job in a Dallas in
surance office two days ago.
THE only announcement I am in
a position to make with regard to
my plans for the immediate future
is that I am going to engage in
writing on sports and perhaps other
subjects I am also going to do
some film work. That has already
been arranged for.
Other Offers Pending
"Other offers are pending and I
may accept some of these also. I
am seriously considering taking up
long-distance swimming in a BIG
way. 1t IS one branch of athletics
1 have not specialized in before.
But realize that I am too light
in weight to withstand the Cruel
ling endurance test of long-dis-
lance swim. That means I'll have
to put on some extra poundage.
Quite a lot of it, for 1 weigh only
100 now"

Nevertheless, if the blood pres

he would likewise be safeguard

the future.
There is a lot to be learned
yet about glands, but it seems
to be fairly well settled that if
one gland. either oversecretes
or underSecretes, it affects one
or more Of the other glands as
well.
The way the glands influence
one another and seem to de-
pend upon one another has
been we'll described as a kind
of "interlocking directorate"
the same as one finds operative
among several corporations. At
any rate, an individuals entire
gland system should always
be taken into account.
The thyroid gland, at the
base Of the neck and in front,
is perhaps the best known Of
the endocrine1. It manufac-
lures a high percentage Of
iodine, and its secretions are
essential to the proper func-
tioning of metabolism: that is,
the building up of tissues as
well as in the breaking down
and elimination of waste prod
uctS.
The adrenals, already re-
ferred to, and situated one over
each kidney. are quite small.
Yet each adrenal is composed
of two kinds of tissue, an out
side layer and an inside core.
the two being antagonistic to
each other in physiological ac-
ton. The hormones of the adre-
mails can draw stored-up sugar
from the liver to activate the
muSculature and produce more
energy for body and mind.
Their influence on the nervous
system and blood pressure is
far "eaching.
The pituitary gland, at the
base Of the balm. is composed
of a stalk and two lobes. The
front lobe has to do with skele-
tai growth and the posterior or
rear lobe is also powerful in
promoting growth of tissues
and in maintaining normal
blood pressure. It is this gland
that is often administered by
physicians for epileptic states.

The Beauty
Box

When will the Sisterhood OF
beauty seekers learn that it
isn't half so much what you
wear as how you wear 1t?
Posture that is spirited, erect,
beautiful will make the cheap
frock look like an expensive
model, while the lovely robe
loses line and charm when it is
carried awkwardly. 1t was
meant that the human frame
should be held beautifully.
Then muscles tighten, fat hasn't
a chance to get a foothold, the
silhouette displays graceful
lines.
Blondes who would wear
brighter, more golden haloS,
should add half a teaspoonful
of salts of tartar to one quart
of the lemon rinse. Use the
strained juice of two lemons.
Remove the rinse with clear
tepid water, trickling it over
the head with a bath spray.
Neither lemon juice nor vinegar
should remain on treSslocks.

With both sides vulnerable
the bidding went: z, One-Heart;
A (myself), One-Spade; Y, Two
Diamonds; B (Mr. Day., Two
Spades; 2, Three-HeartS; A,
Pass; Y, Four-Hearts.
My opening lead was the Ace
of Spades. My partner dropped
the Ten, to inform me that he
held the King of our suit. The
declarer dropped the Four. To
have led another Spade would
have been to give opponents
the rubber. All they could have
lost would have been two Spade
and one Diamond tricks.
1t was not clear from what
dummy showed who held the
King of Clubs, but had my
partner both Ace and King Of
Clubs he almost certainly would
have supported me once more.
Evidently the declarer held one
of the minor Aces and my part
ner held the other one, but
unless my partner held the
Ace of Diamonds, and I could
obtain a ruff, I did not see how
we possibly could defeat the
contract.
stopped leading Spades and
shifted to my Six of Diamonds.
Dummy played the Eight. My
partner hesitated for a second,
and I thought that we were
lost. Then he recalled the
principle involved: If I would
not give up control of Spades,
by leading a second round OF
that suit, so that dummy could
ruff a third round, my partner
must not give up control OF
Diamonds, by playing his Ace
10 the first trick. He played
his Nine, as come.o on. rs j
won the trick.
The declarer was in a guam
Diary. He could pull trumps, but
then he must lose two more
spade tricks and the ace of dia-
monds, unless adversely held
trumpS fell in two leads.
The declarer decided to lead
back a spade, hoping to shut
me out when I was offered d
ruff of diamonds. Had I held
a singleton diamond originally,
1 would let my partner win that
trick in spades. to obtain my
ruff. AS I held one diamond
still, won the spade with my
q and led my last diamond.
My partners ace of diamonds
won the trick, and he led back
a diamond for me to ruff. How
many trumps had I, and what
was my highest one, was the
question that troubled the de-
clarer. He decided to ruff with
his @, thus winning the trick.
He led his ace of hearts. My
partner and I both followed suit.
He led a low heart. Had he
led his 10 I would have covered
with my j, to make my 9 good.
When the low heart was led
through me my 8 forced the
K, leaving my J good. This
gave us two spade tricks, one
diamond trick and one trump
trick. Our four winning tricks
defeated the contract by one
trick. z could not have helped
going down one trick, as my
partner had played correctly.
Had he played his ace Of dia-
monds on the first lead of that
suit the declared would have
won his contract.
