Interesting Bridge Hands
BY E. V. SHEPARD

South had no possible reason
for thinking that the card led
was a fourth-best, but he did
think so, and acted upon that
assumption.
The declarer played low from
dummy. When East played the
10 the declarer's @ won. He
thought that west still held the
J-7-6, and he pictured leading
the 9 through Vests hand later
on, and thus obtaining two
heart discards upon dummy's
good clubs.
First, the declared pulled
Vests three trumps. Then he
led his of clubs through West
only to find that player had led
singleton. Fortunately, the
error cost only the premium
that might have been scored for
winning one trick over his con-
tract. Dummy's Ace and K Of
clubs ;::ere played. The de.
clarer led another club and
u u141HCNs 1uLG44A6 NA4AAA4AJ 4A4
the lead with it's Ace of hearts
allowed the declarer to discard
one of his two remaining hearts
on the long club in dummy, so
tina; he had to lose only a single
heart trick, just fulfilling his
doubled contract.
Of course, the declarer should
not have thought of depending
upon dummy's clubs to rid his
own hand of two losing hearts.
He should not have touched the
trumps, after a single lead to
determine adverse distribution.
He should have led a heart.
Ruffed a lead of spades. Led
back a heart and ruffed in
dummy, and cross-ruffed off
hearts and spades until dummy
had trumped both of the de-
clarer's losing hearts, then a
grand slam would easily have
been made.

This weave in black is used

There is a similar bow in front.

Eyes. I'm ready to 60, Mr..
Collins"
Not So Hot!
She was. Somehow or other.
she had not been having such
a very good time. It was funny.
too, when she realized that she
and Mr.. Collins had certainly
had all the "makings" Of a
good time. A high-powered car,
a table in this luxurious room
with its mirror-lined walls and
gilt chairs, a smooth dance
floor, "hot" orchestra. and a
chicken dinner that had started
with frosted fruit cocktail and
wound up with crepes suzette
and black coffee. Mr.. Collins
had brought along a flask, too,
and Sharlie had had several
sips of the highballs he had
mixed for himself.
Sharlie could look back on her
short life and remember dozens
of "zippier" evenings she had
had. Evenings with her friends
at high school. Evenings with
Eddie. The one roadhouSe even
ing she had spent with Marjorie
Milliken and her boy friends.
Yes. there was no doubt that
a girl had a better time with
people her own age than with
older men. But-only man
with plenty of money could pro-
vide the things that Sharlie
wanted so passionately just
then. The right kind of auto
mobile, the right kind of home,
luxury and leisure. The things
that Mr.. Collins could give the
girl he married.
"And I can marry him If I
want to-" she went on talking
to herself as she powdered her
little white nose before one OF
the mirrors in the women's
dressing room on her way out
of the roadhouse. She felt more
sure of that tonight than ever
before.
There was a perfume ma
chine just inside the door and
she stopped there for a mo-
ment to drop a dime into its
slot and receive a tiny jet OF
perfume on one cheek. The, ma
chimes in cheap roadhouses
were filled with awful stuff that
smelled like vanilla, she re-
flected, but in this Riverview

Atlantic City is another place
where the reports are signifi-

was so cold in Chicago that the
report means very little, except
in millinery, and the trend
there was toward high crowned
hats. In San Francisco it was
warm and sunny, so that white
accessories enlivened the whole
fashion picture. The New York

as Atlantic City fashions, ex-
cept that there were more
feminine suits and coats worn,

Secrets Of Health
BY Dr. Louis A. Risch
Famous Authority on Health and Psychology

The same may be said OF the
nervous system as a whole,
without the coordination of
which the body could not func-
tion at all. At any rate, when
there are germs in the tissues
and the body is fighting them.
more energy is consumed, so
much so that the heat regulat-
ing mechanism situated at the
base of the brain Is temporarily
affected and cannot keep the
body at it's normal temperature.
What is then noted, OF course,
is fever.
A single boil or a crop" of
boils seldom produces fever. but
a carbuncle can be the cause
of high fever. Not only that,
the general poisoning of the
system, because of the toxins
produced by the germs in a
localized skin area. may be
most exhausting. Usually it is
best, therefore, to put all pa
tients to bed. In an elderly
person a carbuncle may &C.
tually endanger life.
Boils and carbuncles are
caused by friction of skin It's
sues, which lowers the resist
ance at that point and makes
possible the infection of sew
eral hair follicles. For germs
are always present on the skin,
no matter how clean it is kept.
Because friction. as in rub
bing, is greatest in those areas.
boils and carbuncles are COM
mon on the neck, forearms, but
took and legs.
When one boil appears the
likelihood is that others will ap-
pear nearby. due to direct con-
tact infection of additional hair
follicles. The surrounding area
of a boil should therefore be
regularly cleansed with carbo-
lated alcohol.
When the case is one Of car
buncle, always see doctor.

Although carbuncleS and boilS
bear a certain similarity to each
other, the carbuncle is by far
the more serious condition.
When a boil ripens-"comes
to a head" people say-the pus
that has formed can be drained
off through a single opening.
Not so with a carbuncle. Here
several openings are involved.
This not only calls for more
thorough drainage, which often
cannot be established until sew.
eral cuts are made, but in adj
dition the pus may have bur
rowed and spread deeply. so
that other tissues are affected
After a boil discharges its
pus and the "core"-the basic
inner matter-comes away, the
surrounding tissues heal again
and there is an end to that par
ticular boil at any rate. In the
case of a carbuncle, on the
other hand, the healing process
is not so simple. Because it
cannot be made to drain we'll,
deleterious effects upon the en-
tire system may be noted.
Whenever an infection of any
kind occurs within or on the
outside of the body-that is,
upon it's skin surface-the
white blood cells Immediately
increase in amount in that
area, in order to fight the in
vading army of germs. Pus, as
such, is the result of this strug-
gle. In other words, pus means
that the defenses of the body
are doing their work. The re-
suits of the struggle are dead
white blood cells, dead sur
rounding tissue cells, serum and
other constituents, all together
forming what we speak of as
puS.
In a struggle such as this,
especially if it be severe, the
heat regulation mechanism of
the body is brought into play.

CHAPTER XXXV

e It was II o'clock-just seven
hours after Sharlie had climbed
into Mr.. Collins car and started
out for the "drive into the
country" that he had been
promising her all week. The
drive into the country had re-
solved itself into dinner at a
roadhouse, just as Sharlie had
intended that it should.
She sat facing him now
across a little corner table in
the Riverview Inn, roadhouse
de luxe set high on hill some
two hours drive from town.
All around them were the
lights, the music, the blue Gig
arctic smoke, the movement
and noise and color of a res
taurant and dance place at
midnight. Girls, little silky-look-
ing girls with their hats off
and their smooth hair shin
ing under the lights, danced
past the corner table in their
partners arms. The girls were
all young, and ,ven the plain
est of them was attractive with
the bright glamour of youth
and high spirits.
The men were of all ages,
Sharlie noticed, watching them
from under her long laSheS.
Two or three looked young, not
more than Is or six. Most Of
the others looked 10 or is years
older than that, and some of
them looked we'll past middle
age. Old men, holding their
young partners tightly, as If
they were trying to hang on to
youth itself, like grim death.
Sharlie and Mr.. Collins were
tired of dancing. At least Mr..
Collins had said, fully an hour
before. that he was bit
'winded," and Sharlie had said,
swell. let's not dance any more
then"
Mr.. Collins looked very tired.
He looked old, too, somehow.
His collar had wilted and he
had lost the fresh pink clean
Shaven look that he always
had at the office-particularly
in the early morning when he
first came in. His face looked
lined and slightly puffy.
Hes much too old for me-"
thought Sharlie. OF course she
had known all along that he
was-and yet
Tired of all this rumpus,
Sharlie? Ready to go?" he
asked md she nodded

DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
Will you please tell me if it
is proper to buy your own and
your escorts ticket for any
affair when belonging to a
sorority? Some say it is and
afterward the young man gen.

do you get the tickets and take
the money he offers you?
The girl, who is the hostess
since she has given the invita-
ton, buys the two tickets. This
should be taken for granted.

gest that he reimburse" her
and neither should she expect
that he will make this sug-

she should pass it off lightly

NeighbOrs

One notable aspect Of the city elec-
ton which reached . climax Tuesday
was 1t cleanliness and lack Of mud
singing.
It was just . contest among neigh
bors to see which should be named to
manage the affairs Of our city and the
campaign was conducted on that basis.
And now that 1t Is all over and the
winners have been congratulated, the
thing for all OF US to do Is to pull to-
gether in the same spirit Of friendli-
ness for bigger and better Bismarck.
Election contests such Is that which
ended Tuesday are good for . city.
They concentrate attention on its af-
fairs and keep the citizenry alive to
the fact that they have the major In
terest in how the city is operated. It
is to be hoped that no city election
ever will 60 by default in Bismarck
because when that happens interest is
at low ebh and the city Is in q bad
way.
But until the next election we
should all take our cue from the con-
duct Of the candidates In this recent
contest. We should cooperate with
those who have been charged with
responsibility to the end that they
may do their work well and to the
best advantage Of the city as q whole.

Profits by putting pressure

enormous profits by putting pressure
on endangered currencies and forcing
1t to low levels, there to be purchased
and held until the value rises again.
Kent's regulation has prevented any
attempts Of that sort and also has
served to correct other abuses.
One order had to do with Brazil's
regulation Of gold exports. That ma
ton permitted shipment Of gold to
London but enlarged exports to the
United States. Kent Immediately d.
rected that no gold be shipped TO
Brazil until she permits a two-way
movement. That seems fair enough.
The tragic part Of the foreign ex-
change situation Is that many Amer
leans would attempt to profit by any
weakness in this country If given the
chance. even though 1t might mean
calamity and distress to many per-
sons. Patriotism, 1t seems, is q rather
weak and ineffective thing with q
certain type of individual.

Beer and Food Habits

Will the advent Of leganzed beer
bring a change in the habits of res
taurant patrons. thereby causing a
change in the kind and quantity of
food the restaurateurs must keep in
stock?
Fred A. Simonsen of Detroit, presi-
dent Of the National Restaurant As
ISOLATION, believes that 1t will.
The popularity Of certain dishes
such as heavy meats, fish and cheese
viii increase, he believes. while fewer
sweets win be sold. The man who
sits down to lunch with q schooner
Of beer at his elbow is not apt to ask
for . cream puff to go with 1t; hot
roast beef sandwich or q vast slab Of
cheese Is more likely to be called for.
For beer. as general thing, demands

Get Together BOYS

One OF the phenomena which has
attended consideration Of the farm
bill in congress Is the apparent dis
agreement among the financial ex-
perts who dabble in the stock mar
ket and those others who play around
the grain pits.
At the same time that stocks Of
companies which depend on farm
prosperity for income have been ris-
ing, grain SPECTATORS were selling
wheat and other futures because OF
impending disaster.
Stocks of farm firms rose because
Of Wall Streets belief that the new
legislation will put some money back
in Americas rural areas. Grain pit
prices fell because Of the fact that the
farm bill would ruin" the American
farmer. The two attitudes do not
jibe.
The only adequate explanation.
barring the quaint idea that business
men buy or sell for fun, Is that the
interests Of firms selling to the farmer
are pretty much identical with his:
that the farmer must have money
before he can exchange it for goods.
On the other hand it may be that
the interests Of those who buy from
the farmer are peculiarly their own.
It doesn't seem SO from here, but
then there are a lot OF things about
the grain trade the average farmer
and editor do not understand.
It would be more comforting II the
boys would get together and tell the
same story. It IS disconcerting to see
them disagree as to the probable ef-
fects Of the farm bill.
And not that we care what they
think, either.
