Your Health
And Diet
By LOGAN GLENDEN1NG, MD.

Like every other part of the
body, the back can ache from
several causes. There are three
common causes of backache.
The first is disease of the
structures of the back. The
second is reflex from disease
elsewhere. The third is emo
tional.
The structures in the back
which cause aching most COM
monly are the bones of the
spine and of the pelvis (most
backaches are located low
DOWN, the large masses of
muscles and tendons which
move and support these bones
and joints, and the nerves
which emerge from the spine
in this region. Only rarely is
backache due to disease of the
vital organs, such as the kid
neys or lungs, which lie close
to the backbone.
The commoneSt reflex causes
are probably due to pelvic dis
ease in man or Woman-tipping
of the uterus or prostate cause.
The emotional causes are
more frequent than you might
imagine. The back is a men,
tai symbol of trouble. Bear
ing his burdens on his back
this is breaking my back
such phrases are indicative Of
the general association of the
back with the loads of the
world. When the back aches,
the load cannot be borne. Weak
lingS frequently get out of their
just share of the work of the
world by having a backache.
Such a case was a young mar
ried woman who was brought
to a physician by her husband.
She complained of backache,
yet examination failed to reveal
any cause. In talking with
her the physician found she
led an empty, purpoSeless and,
therefore, unhappy life, and
suggested that she ought to
have some children to make
her happy. That's funny"
she replied, 'that is just what
another doctor told .1e."
why is it so funny?"
"Well, how could I have any
children with this terrible
back? I couldn't carry a heavy
baby around in my arms"
The physician argued with
her awhile to the effect that
she could. Suddenly she said,
What about my adopting a
baby?"
This seemed puzzling, be-
cause, as the doctor pointed
out to her, carrying an adopted
baby around in her arms would
be just as hard on her back
as carrying one of her own.
Finally the whole story came
out. Her mother and a sister
both had died in childbirth.
The idea of facing what she
considered such awful danger
terrified her. Her backache
was a subconscious defense
against such a posSibility-it
was a purely emotional back
ache, not a physical one.

Washington Fashions
By WILMA LAVILLE

April is an important month
to go scouting around for even
ing fashions, for by this time
the winter styles are weeded
out, and it's pretty obvious what
will carry over and what will
not. Then there are the first
few spring and summer things
that will develop into more i'm
portance as the season comes
on. So a report from the New
York night clubs is OF special
significance now, as it points
the way to many things we will
wear this summer.
Even More Jackets
Two things seem to be out
standing, the increasing impor.
tance of the jacket theme, and
the continued use of color con-
trast. 1t seems almost 1mpos-
sible for jackets to be used more
than they have already, but
summer frockS nearly all have
them, unless they have little
puffed sleeves, or a capelet. We
seem to be getting away from
such a low back, and the front
of evening gowns is definitely
higher. AS to colors, more and
more we find two of them
Joined in a dress, even if the
effect is achieved only by put
ing a jacket of different color
with the dress. White nearly
always takes a color. and so
does black. Lines are as slim as
ever, and waistlines are unques-
tionably high.
Hail King Cotton
Cottons are coming in strong
er every day, and have just
gotten their start, so we can
expect them to do great things
later on. Many of the first will
be embroidered batistes, so we
picked out one Of the newer
batistes from a downtown store
to sketch today. 1t combines
two colors, brown batiste over
a yellow taffeta slip. the sash
of yellow taffeta. 1t is only
moderately low in the back and
front, and has jacket, unusual
for its little double sleeves. This
dress is also available in green
batiste.

Advice to the
LoveIorn
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX
An Authority on Problems of
Love and Marriage

Love and Marriage
He's Not Exciting
Dear Miss Fairfax:
1 am a girl of sixteen, con-
sidered very attractive and
dress we'll. I have been keep
ing steady" company with a
boy six years older. He has
finished school, while I am still
in high school. My trouble is
that I do not know whether 1
like him or not. When I am
in his company I do not seem
to care much for him, but
when he has left me, 1 think
to myself, why can't I like
him?" He declares that he loves
me and only me. My mother
approves of him. He's a snappy
dresser, has plenty of money.
and oh, everything girl
could want. He is also a good
Spender and 1 am envied by
every girl in the neighborhood.
Please advise me how to in
crease my love for him.-L.
Don't try to force yourself to
love this boy. At your age
there are other interesting
things to think about, and
worry about, without fretting
about falling in love. We can
regulate our lives in many
ways-force ourselves to study,
to save, to be agreeable-but
when it comes to love, we can
only wait for that miracle to
take possession of us.

AS we were using the Two
demand bid, I made an open
ing bid of 2-Clubs. A passed.
My partner bid 2-No Trumps,

A what to lead in case l be-

Spades. A passed. 1 do not
know why my partner shifted
me to 4-Clubs, but upon that I
had to venture 5-Clubs. A dou-
bled nd the opening lead was
the 8 of Diamonds. The first
trick was won by BIS Ace of
Diamonds. Had B followed the
rule of leading back to Dum-
my's greatest weakness, moth
ing could have prevented my
going down one trick. But B
led back a high diamond. put

rounds of Clubs, dropping all
opposing Clubs. Then I led a
third round, leading my lowest
club, an ''ertaking with Dunn

hand.
Of course routine play would
have made me lead a heart, to
take a finesSe in thNt suit; had
I done this 1 would have been
down one trick, as I had lost
one diamond and still had to
lose one spade trick, at least.
All I wanted to do was to lead
and trump dummy'S last dia-
mond, which I did.
The object in leading that
diamond was to permit dummy
to trump any later lead Of dia-
monds, and to enable me at
the same time to discard my O
of hearts. Neither opponent
could lead a trump, as I had
stripped their hands of clubs.
There were even chances who
held the missing K of hearts;
I knew that A was the kind OF
player who always doubled a
high bid, to make the declarer
think that he held missing
strength that might lie in his
partners hand. The chances
that spades would fall in three
leads were almost 2 to l.. Who
would win the third round OF
spades I did not know, but in
case A had to win that trick
1 was certain of fulfilling my
contract. In case B won the
third trick in spades I could
still take my heart fineSse, with
no greater danger than I would
encounter if I led a heart from
dummy. If spades we're di-
vided Al between opponents I
would be down one trick any
way I played the hand. In
other words I intended playing
the hand without needless risk.
Having trumped dummy'S last
diamond, I led out my AK Of
spades; the Q dropped at my
right. I put A in the lead with
his J of spades. He had moth
ing left in his hand except
hearts. He had to lead a heart
up to my ten-ace, just giving me
sufficient to fulfill my contract
of five, having lost one dia-
mond trick and one spade
trick.
Had I not trumped dummy's
last diamond, A would have
been able to, lead a diamond,
thus forcing me to lead hearts
from my own hand, and beat
ing me by one trick.

The evil affects of the bad situation confronting
the copper companies OF Arizona are by no means
limited to the copper camps. Every line OF endeavor IN
the state suffers.
The large irrigated districts have vital inter
est in the problem. The copper camps have furnished
the best markets for the agricultural products OF Arl-
IONA.
The copper companies have paid very large
promotion Of the taxes If the tax returns from the
copper companies decrease the taxes exacted from
The farmers and other classes of property become
heavier.
In the case of the San Carlos Irrigation District,
all revenues from the sale Of power come from the
copper mining industry. There is other available
market This project anticipated profits of 100000
mining companies The curtailment of production has
resulted in the loss Of approximately thirty per cent
of the revenue The already hard pressed farmers OF
the irrigation district face possible annual loss Of
$180000 year from the sale of power to the copper
companies. They would also lose the best market for
their products which has been in the copper mining
communities This would entail another approximate
loss Of 1000 per year to the farmers of this par
tcular irrigation district Thus it can be that
the success failure of this irrigation project
is large degree dependent upon the future welfare
Of the copper mining industry of Arizona.
Similarly the disastrous effects of curtailment
closing of the copper mining camps reflected
in the other large irrigation districts Of Arizona
There is industry in the state which can af-
ford to be Indifferent to the plight Of the copper
panes Every citizen of this state has vital interest
in the efforts being made to obtain the enactment of
adequate copper tariff legislation.

Values That Money Cannot Buy

Sometimes we wonder what would be the effect
if things should go about as they are ndefin-
itely. How much worse off would be as people
if the present standards Of income should prove per-
manent?
1t all depends, it seems to U.s. on where you stand
when you look at the world. If you're standing on a
dollar-mark things are pretty bad right now But
there other points of view Why do we want pros
peI1ty to return? So We all have money But
if we had more money, what would we do with it?
1t seems to us that during those boom years when
money for lot of people, was easy to get it proved
to be pretty hard to hold And from what we saw and
heard and read about what people did with their mon
ey especially people who had never had any expert
ence with money before, it didn't do many of them
much good. On the contrary it seems to u.s. it was
genuinely bad influence And is there any reason to
believe that people, speaking generally, would get
any more lasting value out Of easy money if boom
times came back? We think not

There are spiritual values which are immensely

This season the famous Wal lenda troupe who first startled nMsl,Sar haHs introdueed naeS new thriller iD in their act which fairly takes ones breath away. Mounting a chair, balanced on a pole A5 feet above the ground, held aloft on the shoulders of two wire walkers, one of the men holds in turn a slender little girl, Helen Wallenda atop his head. This feature, seen at each performance of the Ringing Bros and Barnum & Bailey Circus is by all odds the most sensational ever witnessed in America.
 At another time during the Wall lenda's thrilling exhibition a mem- Der of the troupe calmly rides an ordinary bicycle across the lofty strand of steel while Miss Wallenda stands upon his shoulders.
 These intrepid performers who have made two continents gasp are part of the great international con- gregs of eight hundred men and women arenic stars assembled by the greatest show on earth this year.
 The Ringing Bros and Barnum & Bailey circus, travelling on four trains or double-length steel rail- road cars crammned and damned with wonders from every land, will exhibit in Waterbury, Saturday June II.
