associated with seasickness.
I scarcely wish to revive an
unpleasant recollection by refer
ring to so devastating an expert
ence. 1t is interesting, neverthe-
less, to consider this disorder
that affects so many thousands,
and that still remains so battling
a problem.
You must, at the outset, dis
burden your mind Of the preva-
lent conviction that Seasick-
ness can be prevented or cured
in all cases, provided the right
remedy is found.
There is no right remedy"
that is infallible. Some persons
believe they are helped by one
thing, others by another.
The best that really can be
done is to give some general ad-
vice which may or may not be
of value.
The difficulty seems to be
that it is not the stomach that
is affected first in seaSickneSs,
but the nerves. These, in turn,
upset the digestive mechanism.
Then, an added difficulty is
that this nerve upset in sea-
sickness has to do with the semi
circular canals in the internal
ear, places that cannot be
reached and treated.
The structure of the semi
circular canals is a complicated
one. Suffice to say that there
are three such canals within
each ear and these are placed
far inside. All three canals are
filled with fluid and from the
walls of the canals fine hairs
project that are extremely SEN
sitive to change of position.
In fact, the function of the
canals is to keep us aware as to
whether our heads are upright,
rotated, turned forward or back
ward, or on one side. When the
head is allowed to fall forward,
for instance, the fluid in one
of the canals is disturbed, and
flows. This flow pushes the tiny
hairs in that particular canal in
a certain way. It is by this
means that we know in what
position our head has been
placed.
Now then, when we are on a
moving or rolling object, like a
boat or ship, the fluid in the
semi circular canals is dis
turbed in unusual ways. This
produces dizziness, headache,
loss of appetite and the like.
And since the nerves of the
stomach are connected, via the
brain, with the nerves of the
ear, nausea and vomiting result.
Persons who are prone to
seasickness should eat very
Sparingly for a few days before
taking an ocean voyage. A
brisk cathartic is also advisable.
It is likewise a good plan to
select a berth in the center of
the vessel where the roll is
least noticeable Best of all is
to remain on deck in the open
air. reclined in a steamer chair.
until one becomes somewhat
accustomed to the ship.
The mental attitude is also
highly important. Simply make
up your mind that you won't
be sick and don't keep thinking
that it is going to happen. Both
help lot.
For the attack itself, COM
plete rest is demanded. Lemon
juice or lemon juice mixed with
a seidlitz powder may bring re-
lief. In severe cases the ships
doctor should be consulted.

ter.
The opening lead was the 3
of hearts, which told me Moth
ing about the distribution Of
trumpS or any other suit. I
played the 10 from dummy.
North put up his and my @
won the trick.
The hands did not need much
consideration to see that every
thing had to work perfectly to
fulfill the crazy contract into
which west had forced me. I
must lose one club trick un-
less I obtained a discard upon
dummy's diamonds. The first
thing to do was to establish
the diamonds, unless I was for
tunate enough to find the miss
ing K in South's hand. I led
my j of diamonds. took the
finesse, and lost to the K.
North nearly ruined me by
leading back a low heart. If I
had put up my Ace I would
have been down, as later on
North could have ruffed the
third lead of clubs with his 9
and 1 could not have over
ruffed him. Fortunately I fl
messed my 7 of hearts and held
the trick.
I led my last diamond, won
the trick with dummy's 10, led
the Q of diamonds, and upon
that I let go my third club.
Dummy's Ace and K of clubs
won the next two tricks. I
led a third club, knowing that
one opponent could now ruff.
If North followed suit I intend
ed trumping with my Ace, and
then leading my last trump,
playing for the break in hearts.
If they did not break the plans
made would fall down. While
there might be another way Of
fulfilling the contract, having
once started playing for the
break in trumps the plan could
not be shifted to another
method of play.
North ruffed the third lead Of
clubs with his 9. My Ace pick
ed up that trump, and lead
of my last trump. was won with
dummy's K. Upon dummy'S
fourth diamond and it's two
good clubs I discared my three
lowest spades. winning the
thirteenth trick with my Ace OF
spades, and fulfilling the small
slam contract.

Late Fashion
Flashes
BY ALICE ALDEN

DON'T BUY several evening
wraps if you don't go out a great
deal, no matter what bargains
may be offered. Get one good
wrap that will always be in
style and good taste. A new
model that will last is of black
velvet with an encrusted yoke
Of ermine, done in battlemented
lines.
TAKE YOUR EASE and wear
a delightful hostess gown. A
new model is done in black
satin with trimming of black
and pink ostrich. There is a
dropped shoulder line and tiny
cuffs hold the wide sleeves.
GET SET on some of the new
velvet or satin collar and cuffs
sets now being shown. One
model, in white satin. uses folds
of the material worked in up
standing fashion on a net foun-
dation fitted to the shoulder
line. The cuffs work the same
theme in scallop outline.
A sure welcome always will
await the costume of velvet
with lame accents. A new
model, in black medici velvet,
has the top of the bodice and
the sleeves in white and gold
brocade. The long coat has
quilted sections at the shoulder
and the scarf is quilted.
Enduring fame belongs to
the woman whose clothes are
elegant rather than many. One
dress that can be constantly
worn through the season is an
evening model of dull black
crepe romain, its dull surface
enlivened by long narrow strasS
motifs applied on the bias.
With it is worn a brick red
cape closing on the left should
er, edged with silver fox.
The straight and narrow sill
houette is coming in, not only
for evening things but for day
suits. The straight silhouette
is featured in a gray and white
diagonal homespun suit. The
straight jacket has the dropped
shoulder line and a collar and
tuxedo revers of black caracul.
The skirt is straight and slim.

Leading the parade of boarded

silver dollar dated 1904.
A diner in a downtown hotel
handed over the rare old coin
together with a silver half-dol-

One of the compensations OF

By DOROTHY DUCAs

Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt is
getting her house in order be-
tween social engagements.
Every spare moment she has is
spent in unpacking, placing furni-
ture, moving some Of the White
House furnishings to suit the
needs and taste of the Roosevelt
family.
Still All Upset
But there have been SO many
demands on her time since last
Saturday. both for public appear.
ances and the entertainment Of
visitors to the National Capital,
that the White House still is in
that upset stae known to every
woman who has gone through the
ordeal of moving.
She had hoped to have every
thing in order for the first press
conference ever held in the Execu-
tive Mansion, for her plans were
to allow newspaper women to
come upstairs to her private sit
ting room for informal tete-a-tete,
but it was out of the question.
There are special problems in
arranging furniture for the RooSe-
welt family. Not only must the
Presidents living quarters be all
in one corner, his bedroom and
Slais study close together, but quar-
tiers for the Roosevelt boys must
be appropriate to their great size.
Hard on Furniture
It is a family joke that they
! are "hard on the furniture" all
four of them being over six. feet
tall.
The furniture of the Monroe
room, valuable because of its
historic antiquity, has been moved
into a less-used room, a sitting
room on the second floor, and
substantial pieces brought from
the Roosevelt home at Hyde Park
placed there instead.
Mrs. Roosevelt spent this morn
ing working around the house,
assisted by Miss Nancy Cook, her
friend, who is partner in the
Waikiki Furniture Shops, and Mrs.
Malvina Thompson Scheider, her
secretary.
She had no engagements, save
an informal luncheon, until late
this afternoon, when she was to
attend the last Washington con-
cert of the Philharmonic Sym
