Dear Mrs. Post: pass a boy In the
hall at school many times during the
day. We have never met. Would it be
proper for me to speak to him, or
should he speak first?"
Answer: Properly, a girl does not
stop to talk to a boy who has not been
introduced to her, but since you are
schoolmates and you see him day after
day, think it rather better to say
good morning" frankly, than to cast
self-conscious Sleeps eyes at one an
other. After all, unless you look at
him and he at you, you wouldn't know
that you recognize each other, would
you?
Dear Mrs. Post: My uncle gave me
brass and copper coffee service for
wedding present, because he happens to
be extremely fond of brass and copper.
He told me, at the time, that his feel
ings would not be hurt if I wanted to
exchange it for another kind or some
thing else. I would prefer not to do
either, because he selected it for me,
but is there any time can use it?"
Answer: Certainly. Use it exactly
as you would use silver. But you should
not put it on silver tray. If you
haven't copper or brass one, use
painted one of either wood or tin-any-
thing that is becoming to the service.

sition.
2. An original bio in any position.
Contains four primary tricks and an
additional queen and a jack. Little is
needed from the opener to make a
slam, and at the same time, three no
trumps is unbeatable.
3. The two queens and jacks now
assume great potentiality, but with only
four card suits in the hand, the sole
way to show this value in excess of an
original bid is to bid four no trumps,
urging partner to rebid.

holds only four hearts. The raise
must therefore consist of diamond fill
ers and the club ace. This is therefore
a natural bid

Live and Learn.

Reader" wants to know what I con-
slider the one essential and fundamen-
tai ingredient of everyday psychology.
According to the rules, 1 am permitted
to name but one thing. So here goes.
I take the position that psychology
is the most important of life sciences
and that life is series of adjustments
just one thing after another. Looking
this whole process over as a daily
task, I would say learning is the one
essential and fundamental character
istic of everyday life.
Assume the ability to learn suddenly
taken away from all human beings.
How long would the race last? Perhaps
SO years. For every person born here
after would be a burden upon those
who now live. And our present stock
of knowledge would be far too little to
bear the burden long. When the last
person now living had passed on, hu-
man life as we know it would be ended.

Need Vitamin A.

Need Vitamin A.
NJ OTHERS have 3 tendency to
M shut their ears to iE,! Information
lVl about vitaminS. Their att1-
i tude is usually, "Oh, bother.
what's the use of trying to
keep them in mind? Let the dieticians
ana doctors do that"
There are definite foods given for
definite reasons, and it behooves the
mother to know what and why The
easiest road to this information is to
fix in her mind one food that offers
a rich source of each of the four best
known vitamins. and to insure their
appearance daily in the diet.
Vitsmin is found in cream, butter
and cod liver oil; vitamin B in whole
grain cereals; vitamin G in orange
Juice or tomato juice; vitamin D in Goa
liver OIL 1t can be seen at glance
that those FOODS, plus milk. are the or
dinary ones advised, and for good rea-
son.
Let's concentrate on vitamin A, for
instance. Cream, butter and cod liver
oil are not the only foods in which this
vitamin is found richly. In addition,
cheese, eggs especially the yolk) liver,
and vegetables of decided green or
vitamin. Even curSory glance over
this list will indicate why vitamin A
deficiency is easily possible during the
colder weather and likewise during an
economic depression. In the main. the
foods containing vitamin in abund
ance are hard to get, because they are
both seasonal and expensive.
Adults seldom take cod liver oil.
Very often, in hard times, they employ
butter substitutes or other fats for the
more expensive butter. They do not
drink enough whole milk and they cut
down their intake of green vegetables
A vitamin A deficiency is therefore apt
to be very common. This happened
during the war, especially in Germany,
where the consumption of butter was
practically eliminated. The outstand-
ing and characteristic symptom of
vitamin A deficiency is an eve disease
with a very long name which isn't at
all important. This eye disease is pos
sible only after a prolonged deprivation
Of vitamin A in the diet. 1t is more
than possible that a vitamin A def
cheney of this extent will never exist
today
There are secondary symptoms of
vitamin A deficiency with which we
are more familiar One of them is
slowing down of or decrease in weight
of the growing child, when all other
nutritional factors in the diet are as
they should be. Another symptom is a
tendency to infections of the upper
respiratory tract, colds, coughs, bron-
chitis, pneumonia, all because a def
cheney of vitamin A Injuries the mucous
membranes and robs them of their
natural fighting stamina When germs
attack them they succumb.
