One does not need to call in
the services of a psychologist or
psychiatrist to diagnose a case
of imbecility or idiocy: The
history Of the patient and his
or her markedly backward de-
velopment and peculiar beha-
vior over a period Of years con-
stitute convincing data that is
practically self-evident. Even
mental tests are not necessary
for such evident examples Of
feeble-mindedness.
But when mental defects are
not specially marked, the indi-
vidual possessing them more or
less closely approaching the av-
erage and normal, only a spe-
cialist is likely to be able to
find out exactly what's what.
Science designates such "al-
most normal children as 'bor-
derline" cases. They are really
classed as morons, because they
actually are suffering from some
mental defect, but Of a high
grade, and they are accordingly
the highest grace Of morons.
Their level of intelligence is so
high it just about misses get
ting ove4 the line into nor
mality.
The reason I stress these dis
tinctions is because SO many
parents continue to have diff
ficulty in one way or another
with one or more of their chill
dren. Such children may not
be thought to be retarded or
arrested in mind development
in any way. They may even
get on more or less paSsably in
school, although failing c. gro
motion now and again perhaps,
in addition, being markedly be-
hinG in some one subject, such
as arithmetic. Detailed and
specialized examination may
reveal, nevertheless, that the
child in question is actually de-
fective and Of the borderline
type.
In other words, a borderline
case may not reveal defects
in any striking manner. Such
children may be truant or

Advice to the LoveIorn
By Beatrice Fairfax

day seems, now that her lovely
boys are too old to be under
her charge! They've been taken
away to the mems quarters.
She thought that wonderful
things would happen when they
took away her veil and vistas
of freedom opened. But what
is there to do but think? Does
her lord love her? Alas, she
is not sure. They seem to watch
her more, now that they've
taken away her veil; or does she
only imagine that? Does her
lord love her? He didn't smile
at her this morning as he went
out to the mosque.
Perhaps more women would
take an interest in politics If
they realized that such an in
tereSt would keep them young.
Politics come into the home at
every hour Of the day.. With
the milkman in the morning
is the milk pure. clean and
rich? 1t is the same with the
ice.
At 9. when the children go to
school-that's the biggest politi-
cal question of all. What are
they taught? BY whom are
they taught? And are they be-
ing equipped for the struggle
which awaits them when they
finish school? Are class-rooms
well lighted and heated?
This seems to be a double
interest. in which your chill

vation of your own youth go

Not Safe To Ride With
Strangers
MISS FAIRFAX:

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
My girl friend and I are both
high school students. The
other night when we were out
walking together, a car stopped
and two young men invited us
to take a ride. AS rule, we
don't talk to boys we don't
know, but these two seemed
very nice and gentIemanly.
They have asked us to so for
ride next Wednesday, and we
are a little nervous about keep
ing the date. Do you think
we are doing right in not going
with them? They are nice and
they live in our neighborhood.
UNDECIDED.
Don't you think it would be
better to wait until you know
a little more about these boys
before you accept an invitation
to go off motoring with them?
While very probably they may
be as nice as you think them
to be, the papers are so full
of accounts of joy-riding that
has been productive of tragic
results, that it is Just as we'll
to make haste slowly about
haphaZard acuuaintanceS.

The PlOwman

By ALfNE MICHAEL1S
The PlOwman
Into the sunrise sky he goes,
sinewy, 1.-the and tall;
Under his plowshare, bright and
keen,
Ever the burrows fall.
(Great are the cities men have
built,
Proud in their beauty and
might;
Change must strangely come to
them all,
Dark decay and blightD
Under the MONDAY sun he
strides,
Burrows stretch far away;
Glad are his visions Of corn
and wheat
Gold in the sun some day.
(Fierce the combats of earth
may pc,
Loud their echoes may ring;
Empires may crumble and fall
at last,
Chaos may claim each kirSD
Into the crimson west he plods,
Weary, but stumbling on;
Still will the plowman conquer
earth,
After the rest are gone!

Compensated Bids

Ordinary rules are made to
govern procedure with ordinary
hands. Perhaps once in an eve
ming a hand may be held that
lies outside all ordinary rules.
Such hands require individual
judgment or special rules. Un-
less you are strong enough to
expect to play a hand so that
your repeated bids may remove
from partners mind all danger
of permanent deception, do not
open contracting. Make a Sec
ondary bid after another player
has opened the bidding.
To aid the Judgment of play
ers lacking experience with COM
pensating bids, I suggest that
the following special rules be
employed.
Shade quick trick require
ments as follows:
/. When strong in both major
suits, for each one-half quick
trick short of the regulation
two and one-haf. add one full
probable trick to the five ordi-
narily required to open the bid
ding.
2.When weak in one major
suit, add one probable trick to
those required when strong in
both major suits.
3. When weak in both major
suits, add two probable tricks to
those required when strong in
both major suits.
Two quick tricks justify an
opening bid as follows: Upon
six probable tricks, if strong in
both major suits: upon seven
probable tricks if strong only in
one major suit; upon eight prob
able tricks If weak in both
major suits.
Even as third or fourth hand,
the hands shown below are
amply strong to open contract

Handy Hint

Little slimps who desire
curves will fill out and be more
buxom if they will eat a bowl
of crackers and milk at bed
time. They need gentle exer-
else in the open air, regular
hours Of sleep, plenty of grub
that sticks to the ribs. To
develop the bust massage
gently with COCO butter or
lanoline at night, bathe with
cold water every morning.

WASt 4tNGTON FASHIONS By Wilma La Vile

Many fashion prophets give
gray and beige first place on
the spring color chart. Both
colofs have been on the up
grade for two or three seasons,
and there's little doubt that
they will reach q high peak Of
popularity this spring. AS to
which win be the better Of
the two, it's hard to say.
Either gray or beige is becom-
ing to most people, and those
who wear gray usually can't
wear beige, and vice versa. SO
it is an easy choice for the
individual, who = can simply
wear the one that is becoming,
and leave alone the other col
or. Either may be worn with
black or brown, in this year
of unusual combinations, which
makes the selection easier.
A Truce with COIOrs,
There are many clover grays
and beiges already shown in
the stores. Prints using these
colors are unusually good.
Plain color sheer woods are ex-
cellent too, and use contrast
ing color to great advantage.
The new rough crepeS such as
matelaSSe also show off well
in these two neutral tones,
which, because of their neu-
trality, make such good back
ground for any striking jewelry
or accessories you might want
to wear with them. Not only
are they good street colors,
worn for spots even, but they
are excellent for afternoon and
are newly smart for evening.
It's possible that we may re-
turn to the days when they
were our standby colors, be-
cause they could be worn any
where"
Marvellous Lines
The dress we've photo
graphed comes in both gray
and beige. It is of a very
soft rough material, of the
matelasSe family, but with the
raised part in a regular design
that makes stripes. Because Of
difference in texture, the
raised portion looks lighter.
which gives extra surface in
terest, and means that the
dress requires little or no trim
ming. The sleeves are beau
tiful, cut raglan style, and
pushed up over buttoned cuffs.
The buttons are of cut steel,
and so is the buckle. The
skirt is long and slender, long
enough to make the dress do
for afternoon, though its SIM
plicity makes it suitable for
the street too. It is priced
$3.50, and comes in misses
sizes.

for names Of stores where you
can find these costumes shown

dressed stamped envelope, or

Interesting Bridge Hands
By E. V. SHEPARD

ing. Each hand has two quick
tricks. No. / should win six
tricks. No. 2 has the required
seven probable tricks. No. 3
has the required eight probable
tricks.
The Washington times., 1933-01-21

Suppose you have hand
strong in one major suit and
you hold 11a quick tricks. How
many probable tricks do you
require to open contracting?
Your special rules state that
you must have one full prob
able trick more than five, for
each quick trick that you fall
below the customary two and
one-half quick tricks. Your
hand falls one full quick trick
below two and one-half quick
tricks, therefore you need seven
probable tricks when strong in
both major suits. But you are
strong only in one major suit,
so you require another prob
able trick or eight probable
tricks.
Counting up the value of No.
4, given below, you find no
excuse for making an opening
bid. When you count the prob
able tricks in No. 5, you dis
cover ample strength for such
an opening bid, but having no
second biddable suit, you must
make an opening bid Of four
Spades, or pass. Do not open
such a one-Sided hand with a
bid of only one Spade.
