of heavy crepeS, nearly always

and always dull. Ostrich would
look too "dressy" on satin. Pas

have a jacket or a cape of some

Who Is An Authority on Prob
lens Of Love and Marriage
Imagined It Was Her Fiance
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am engaged to young lady,
and we are to be married in
the fall of this year. I am
working here in this city, and
she is home waiting till I re-
turn later in July. I recently
received letter from her, and
as a result I cannot find my
self interested in the thought
of marrying her.
She told me that she had
had a date with one of my
boy friends, and in the course
of the evenings ride, one
thing led to the other till he
had kissed her. I do not mind
a harmless kiss, but I do mind
the fact that she thought 1
was dumb and simple enough
to take her word for it that
she must have been in a
dream or something while he
did it. because she imagined it
was I all the time till it was
over. She was either lying, or
is weak-minded, to be that
way. and I don't know what
to do. I do not want a girl
that will lie, and I do not
want one that has such
dreams. What would you sug-
geSt? UNHAPPY B. E.
Don't blame you in the least
for being "peeved" about that
affair: at the same time you
must admit that the girl was
honest and frank or she
wouldn't have told you about
that substitute kiss at all. And
honesty and frankness are fine
qualities.

Chapter %

My idea of the strangest
book that could possibly be
written would be one dealing
exclusively with Asiatic super
Stitions. One of the queereSt
chapters would be the one de-
voted to the various supersti-
tions that prevail regarding an
imalS.
There is, to begin with, the
belief among the Chinese that
the gall bladder of the tiger
contains a panacea for all ills.
There is no ailment, no matter
how severe, that cannot be
cured by the bitter gall.dried
and taken internally-of the
jungle's great striped cat. Dis
eases of the heart and lungs, so
the legends go, disappear as
soon as a little supply of tiger
gall appears on the scene. For
he who possesses this magic
substance. instantaneouSly be-
comes a lucky man, a favorite
of the gods. Realizing the fu-
tility of trying to vanquish one
so richly endowed, the demons
of i'll health move out Of the
body of the blessed one and
take up their abode in frame
that will offer less resistance.
This superstition about the
curative powers of tiger gall
once proved costly to me, under
circumstances that eventually
managed to get fairly exciting.
Chinese Outfits
Practically all boats plying
Far Eastern waters have Chi
nese stewards and crews; so it
wasn't surprising that, on a
trip 1 was making some years
ago between Singapore and
Hongkong Con a British
freighter that carried a small
passenger list) there should be
considerable interest on the
part of the help in the news
that one of my tigers was sick.
This animal was not we'll when
I came on board, but 1 figured
that a thorough worming would
be good for what allied it. The
treatment left the big cat
alarmingly weak-in fact, 1
had never before seen a husky
full-grown tiger go to pieces
in just that faShion-and it be-

were developing serious COM

the loss of red blood cells from
the circulation. The red cells
contain haemoglobin, which is
chemically largely made up Of
iron. The function Of haemo-
globin is to carry oxygen from
the lungs to the tissues. Oxygen
is, of course, absolutely nece5-
sary to cell life. When the
amount of haemoglobin is re-
duced the oxygen exchange has
to be carried on at a fast rate
by the blood cells which remain.
Hence an outstanding symp-
tom of anemia is breathlessneSs.
Since haemoglobin is red and is
the substance which gives our
complexions their reddish color,
it's reduction also results in pal
lor.
Nature cures most cases of
secondary anemia if the cause
is removed. After a hemor-
rhage the bone marrow works
overtime in order to supply an
extra amount of cells and make
up the deficiency. After a Sc
we're blood loss the blood is re-
stored to normal in about three
months.
The natural and logical way
to accelerate this process would
seem to be to give the patient
iron. The blood contains iron
and replacement should be in
order. However, there is no GER
tainty that iron will cause any
great regeneration of the blood.
1t is we'll to give it when sec
ondary anemia occurs so that
the marrow may have sufficient
building material for its needs.
But its mere presence will rot
cause the marrow to produce
any more blood than the mere
presence of a pile of bricks will
cause a bricklayer to build a
wall.
The recent successful intro
duction of liver feeding in per-
nicious anemia was hailed as a
possibility for the more salts
factory treatment Of secondary
anemia. Extensive use of it,
however, has not resulted in
any better success than the use
of iron alone.

High Gard Values

Although players sometimes
use quick trick values as the
playing values for honors held
by declarer and dummy, it is
a clumsy method, requiring ad-
justment by giving fictitious
values to low cards. Playing
values exceed quick trick values
by so per cent, due to the de-
clarer's advantage of playing
his own hand and that of
dummy.
Each honor held by the de-
clarer adds to it's direct trick
taking value a promotional
value for honors of that suit
held by dummy. TIE same
holds good for honors held by
dummy; they promote other
honorS held by the declarer.
For example: An Ace ordinarily
must win a trick; also half
the time when an Ace is held
in one hand, provided that suit
has not been bid adversely, it
enables the partners hand to
win a trick with a lower honor;
whereas, if an opponent holds
that Ace, the trick won by the
lower honor cannot be made.
Thus the average value of an
Ace hold, either by declarer or
dummy, is one and one-half
probable tricks. The same in
crease in values also applies to
honors lower than the Ace.
The average playing values
of honors held by either de-
clarer or dummy are as follows:
AK, ~ tricks g points,;
Xxx, l trick g points,; Q-X-X,
q tricks G12 points,; J-X-X-X,
q trick Il point; 10-X-X-X,
"a trick W point.
To be worth the indicated
values the honor must be &C.
companied by as many lower
cards as the text shows KS
after the honor. The XXX of a
suit not bid adversely is worth
one full probable trick, but the
K with no guard is worth only
"a trick. The Q-X-X is worth

There has been much argu-
ment for and against ostrich
feathers for several years. Every
season the feather trade" in
Paris would send mannequins
to the races wearing feather
boaS. The fashion scouts would
report that feather boas were
seen. A few American designers
would get excited and show a
few clothes with ostrich trim
ming, or a few boas scattered
here and there, but few of
them ever got outside the manu-
facturer'S show room. But this
year they seem to have Caught
on" at last. They were shown
in Paris more consistently, and
were seen not only on name
quins, but on many Sm art
women. The Americans decided
that at last they looked right,
so they are now out in the
shops, and are beginning to be
seen about town.
For Evening Only
Ostrich trimmed dresses, or
ostrich boas, are worn here only
for very formal afternoon oc-
casions, or for evening. It's
different in Paris where they
wear clothes that we would
consider only formal afternoon
clothes to the races, for it is
at the races that they start most
fashions for all times OF day.

Your Health and Diet
By Logan Clendening, M. D.

The simplest form of blood
disease is anemia from loss
of blood. The blood loss or
hemorrhage may be sudden as
from injury, with opening of a
blood vessel. Or it may be
gradual, as in bleeding from an
ulcer in the digestive tract, or
such as occurs frequently in
women, or from the lungs in
patients with tuberculosis.
The blood may be reduced in
amount al1o from disease
chronic infections and many
other diseases affect the bone
marrow, where the blood is
formed, and thus secondarily
reduce the number of cells in
the circulating blood. Women
during pregnancy are frequently
anemic.
All these conditions are called
secondary anemia.
The symptoms of secondary
anemia are the logical result of

"Hey, Blondie!" 1t was Mas
voice calling from the kitchen.
Brokenly from Blonde,
"Coming, Ma"
Before she entered the
kitchen Blonde knew it would
be the same old story. She
knew it would be told in such
q way there could be no
answer from her. But this
time it was disastrous. Blonde
had to work. There were only
two wage earners in the family
Blonde and her father-and
It took every cent to exc out

But what did her family

entered the kitchen. All they
cared about was themselves!

saw her mother crying.

dear?" and Blonde put her
arm around her.
Look at me-look at me!
Why should weep to tell my
own daughter :" Ma NC

you've spent my money!"
Blonde looked at her search
1ngly. Her mother couldn't
meet her daughters gaze. She
merely nodded her head.
"All of it?" questioned
Blonde. Another nod indicat-
ing that was what had hap
pened.
What for?"
Ma finally got out the words.

"T-can't-tell you"
"Why can't you tell me?
Her mother was covering some

ate like horse and never
turned his hand to help feed
his own wife and kids. 1T

rushed from the kitchen, sobs
tugging at her throat. That's
the last time 1 leave any OF
INV money around here-Tn
put it in a bank-I'll hide it in
my sock-I'll--"
Blonde stopped short to look
daggers at Cert and Pete who
were sitting calmly in the liV-
ing room.
"What are you BLOWN up
about??" asked Cert.
"Id saved that up for a
dress" and Blonde was look
ing straight at Pete. Where
do you all get off-Spending my

under Blondes glaring look,

tyred sigh followed Cert into

Well, there was nothing to
do but mend the old dress and
try to make a go of it.
