The costumes for daytime usually are in wool or satin, without exaggerated tight ness, or fitness anywhere, and the favored colors are darker shades black, brown or navy-with the exception of one or two models which have been designed with a view to sunny days in the Riviera.
 The skirts, or frocks, are of moderate length, reaching the half of the calf. Ensembles are composed of a three-quarter jacket worn over the dress or skirt and blouse, with or without

The Bidding

 South opens the bidding with one spade, West passes. Now re- member that. due to the fact that four-card suit bidding plays an all-important part in contract bridge today, you never should support your partners suit unless you hold at least four trump, or three with two honors, if you have a better bid in your hand. There- fore, North's proper response to one spade is two diamonds.
 East will pass. South has bid spades, his partner has refused to support him and South has four diamonds to the king. There, in his opinion, is the safety of the hand. So his response over two diamonds should be three dea- monds, telling his partner that they have @ fit in that suit.

CRAMPS IN LEGS AT NIGHT

CHAMFS IN AEGS Al NAUuI The symposium on leg cramps,
 which seem to trouble many per- sons at night and prevent sleep, would run on and on if we held the forum open long enough, but there are enough votes now in to call 1t 8 day and report the outcome to our readers. In order to save space I'll quote only the essential point and give the initials of the reader who submitted it:
 I have found relief from the cramps by just covering my head with the bedclothes and rebreath-
 ing air few minutes. Miss V. w.

 This has relieved me many times. Lie on back with feet one foot apart. Turn toes of each foot in- ward (pigeon-toed) as far as pos sible and hold them there from 15 to 80 seconds. Then assume the normal position and go to sleep. (M. l.. D.
 Lie on back and slowly lift limb
 to an angle. This never fails to re-
 lieve cramps and straighten out tho

 sends the same suggestion.) My legs are nearly 80 years old. Formerly I suffered with leg cramps at night. A niece from Sas-
 katoon advised a simple remedy:
 Wear tight garters at night. I have done so ever since and have never had any more cramps. CT. WO
 Mrs F. s. reports similar method.) I have found 1t efficacious to place the hollow of the foot of the
 cramped leg on the instep of the
 other foot and press steadily. This
 relieves the cramp without the ne-
 cessity of getting up. (F. H. e. Put extra covers over legs from
 knees down. seldom suffer cramps
 since began doing this. (E. A. L.) Tie strip of cloth inches wide tightly around the leg above the
 cramp. In a few minutes the cramp
 is relieved and you can remove the bandage. (Mrs N. S.) This is prac- tically the same thing as wearing d low the knee.)
 read your readers observation that pressing firmly against foot board of bed with ties relieved the
 cramps. I find that I get relief
 rather by pressing with the heels. (N. D. Al

 Lie flat on back and draw feet up toward knees five or six times,
 keeping the legs stiff. (Mrs M.) Bury face in pillow and breathe deeply the same air over and over for a few minutes. (K. P. S.) That, think, fairly well covers the situation. If you are annoyed by these cramps in the legs you pays your subscription and takes your choice of the methods of get ting relief.

Europe's "Preferred Lists"
OF Farley Delegates
Blu James T. Williams, T.-

1927 failed because the Amer.
ican delegation, acting under
President Coolidge's instruction,
refused to surrender that
equality of opportunity" for
the American Navy which was
gained at Washington and
which Europe tried to take
away at Geneva.
When the time came to Sc
lect an American delegation to
the London Naval Conference
of 1880, the representative Of
a European government paid a
quiet visit to Washington.
When he returned home he
carried the assurance that
Admiral Jones would not be
sent as a delegate to the Lon
don Conference.
And Europe had her way at
London. The method of llml-
tation agreed upon at Wash
ington and defended by Ad-
mlral Jones at Geneva, Was 81
modified at London that the
United States suffered a grave
disadvantage, and Europe
gained great advantage.
Much the same fate appears
to have befallen Ambassador
Gibson. In the preparatory
sessions for the Geneva Con-
ference now meeting, Mr.. Glib
son, under the instructions OF
his Government, refused to &C
cept without reservations the
so-called Macdonald plan for
the limitation of land arma-
ments. Examination of this
plan proved conclusively that
its adoption without condition
would put the United States
at a serious disadvantage and
enable certain European gov
ernments to gain in defensive
power at the expense of Amer
lean defense.

ouently to the downright dis
advantage of the United States.
Europe's "preferred lists" are
not utilized to market securities
or to sell camp kits, but to in
fluence the deliberations OF IN
ternational conferences, to steer
the negotiation of international
treaties.
When an international con-
ference is in the making, if the
United States is to be repre-
sented, certain European powers
manifest intense interest in the
selection of the American dele
gates to the conference.
This European interest" can
be traced in several ways.
Americans on Europe's "pre-
ferred lists" who would be avail
able as delegates to the confer
ence get "a big play" in the
European press, while the
American delegation is in the
making.

their States and finally for
their country and God, if and

If the great Teddy were

And then when American
public opinion has been care

government most interested will
drop an unofficial hint at the
right time and place that "Mr.
So and So" or perhaps miss So
and So" is just the type of dele
gate who could be counted upon
to make the conference a sue
cess.
This is what is known as the
positive" approach to the
problem. But Europe also has
negative" approach, by
which Americans not on Eu-
ropes "preferred lists" are
eliminated from consideration
as representatives of their
government at the conference
in question.
This negative" approach
Europe employed to her own
advantage under the Hoover
administration and prevented
Admiral Hilary P. Jones from
going to the London Naval Con-
ference as an American dele
gate. Admiral Jones was one
of the two American delegates
sent by President Coolidge in
1927 to the Geneva conference
for the limitation and reduction
of naval ornaments.
The other American delegate
was Hugh Gibson, of California,
then American Ambassador to
Belgium, and recently trans
ferred to represent the United
States in the same capacity in
Brazil.

Cheap clothes. Cheap food.
Cheap merchandise of every
sort. We're paying a terrible
price for such cheapness-and
every time I buy cheap dress
I grow sick at the thought Of
the cost.
Then why don't 7 make the
dress myself? I could. I made
all my own clothes for many
years. That was real economy
once. It isn't any more. The
world has changed. I'm a pub
lie nuisance unless my own
viewpoints and personal habits
change with it. Sol no longer
make my own dresses.
The girl who makes the cheap
dress gets mighty little as it is.
She'd get nothing at all if I
made it myself.
THAT GIRL MUST EAT.
AND IT'S UP TO YOU AND
ME TO SEE THAT SHE EATS.
IF ONLY FOR THE SAKE
OF OUR OWN SELFISH Sc
CURITY, IT'S UP TO YOU
AND ME TO SEE THAT THAT
GIRL EATS.
FOR IF SHE DOESN'T
EAT-PRESENTLY YOU AND
I WON'T EAT.
How did we, how did all the
world, get this way-into this
desperate depression?
That's how we got this way.
BY not caring whether tn e
other fellow ate or not; by
not caring what any article
cost the other fellow, as long
as we got it cheap.
But neither an individual,
nor a nation, can prosper long
living like that. You've GOT
to be your "brother's keeper"
whether you like the job or
not; for if you don't keep him,
he won't keep you.
That isn't sentimental the
ory. That's sound, economic
fact. And it's the ONLY
sound economic fact. All these
other financial and industrial
expedients-special taxes, trick
tariffs, relief appropriations,
emergency public works-none
of them will cure what ails
us. Only a change in our
own hearts will cure what
ails us.
A NEW FEELING FOR THE
OTHER FELLOW
A NEW REALIZATION OF
HIS PLIGHT
A NEW DESIRE TO SEE
THAT HE GETS HIS RIGHT
A NEW WILLINGNESS TO
HELP HIM IN HIS FIGHT.
THAT'S THE ONLY THING
THAT WILL SAVE US.
AND WE'D BETTER GET
GOING!
FOR, IF WE DON'T SAVE
THE OTHER FELLOW, HE
MAY PRESENTLY ARRANGE
TO SAVE HIMSELF-AND
THAT MAY NOT BE so
