Your Body at Work.
The Blood Stream.


TT IS usual for cells of the body to
remain in place, but some cells
are great travellers. I am think
i ing of the cells. or "corpuscles, u
in the blood. Carried along in a
slightly salty liquid, they journey to
this part of the body and to that.
In small drop of blood there may
be more than 10000 white cells
These have been called guards OF
the body" When germs break through
the skin. white cells fight against
them. killing them if possible Thanks
to this help. We are spared from many
a danger.
Red blood cells (Which give color
to the blood are not SO large as the
white cells, but there are many more
of them. They take oxygen from the
lungs and carry it to the fixed cells
which need it.
If we imagine that a red checker.
used in the game of checkers, is
shrunk to a size less than the point
of a pin. We may obtain an idea of
the size and shape of a red cell. In
drop of blood containing 10000
white cells there will be about 7,500,-
900 red cells.
It has been estimated that the blood
of a man contains, on the average,
about twenty-five trillion red cells.
That is a number which no one would
care to count-a person would need
to live to an age greater than Me-
thuselah to be able to count it. No
one ever has counted the number. but
the estimate was obtained by learning
the number of blood cells in small
amounts of blood. and multiplying by
the total amount in the body.
We speak of these cells as red. but
that is only partly true. Blood flow
ing through the arteries after getting
oxygen from the lungs is red. but
blood in the veins is blush almost
purple. Blood in the veins has lost its

EDDY FOX had been lucky,
and he realized that he had
II been lucky. A dinner actually
i had fallen from the sky al
most at his feet. 1t was a
Grebe, a water bird that had foolishly
remained in some body Of water
farther north until forced by the
freezing Of the water TO 60 in search
Of other open water. 1t had failed
to find any and had flown until it
had dropped from exhaustion unable
to fly another stroke of its wings. So
Reddy had had a dinner that he had
needed almost as much as that Grebe
had needed to find open water.
Does it seem to you too bad that
when that Grebe came down it should
have been right where Reddy was?
II really was a fortunate thing. for
had Reddy not been there that Grebe
would have died just the same. and
it would have been a slow death of
starvation 1t could never have taken
to its stout wings again. even after q
long rest, for on land, whether snow
covered or not. it is helpless. 1t is
only from water that it can rise into
the air Once it comes down, unless
on water. it is helpless.
When Reddy was through nothing
remained of that Grebe but few
feathers. Reddy licked his lips and
then headed for home. He felt like a
new Fox Yes, sir, he did SO. He
found Mrs Reddy still there. She
had not felt equal to hunting again.
Reddy said nothing about the dinner
he had had and if Mrs. Reddy
guessed that he had been successful
she said nothing about it.
MY dear" said Reddy. II found
the tracks of a Rabbit here in the
Old Pasture" He spoke as if this
was good news
Mrs. Reddy grinned feebly. What
of it?" said she. we cannot eat
tracks Every time I go out l see the
tracks of Old Jed Thumper. the gray
old Rabbit who has lived in the Old
Pasture so long. and who has always
been too smart for US. Trying to
catch him would be a waste of time. "
Reddy nodded in agreement. Quite
right. Quite right, my dear said he.
But these tracks were not made by
Old Jed Thumper. They are the
tracks Of a younger Rabbit, one who
must have moved over to the Old
Pasture from elsewhere. I had one
good look at him"

If you could trust the enemy to lead
diamonds blindly because that was the

IN the bidding Yet the king of dia-

for it. Under what conditions

which the responding partner can
draw at this time-when you have
bid four spades after the bidding
exchange set forth above, He
knows:
First. You have five spades, for
you made a two-bid in spades.
Second You have only four
hearts, for had you five hearts as
we'll as five spades, you would rebid
them-four hearts over his three no
trumps. asking him to pass that bid

One Of Style Hits in Palm Beach Co||ection
Grand Frock Which Will
Remain Irresistible as Long
as 1t Holds Together.
kasy Freedom of Fit Above

Half Its Obvious Charm.
BY BARBARA BELL.

~ UR pattern today is for a
practical Summer daytime
dress that IS one of the style
~ hits of the Palm Beach COL
lections. 1t is one of those
grand frocks that will remain ire
dstible as long as it holds together.
Smart American women will find
themselves all set for Summer if
they are supplied with several mex
pensive little frocks like the one in
the sketch.
Invariably, when the sun beckons,
m avalanche of invitations drifts in
for those carefree diversions that re-
quire a wardrobe well stocked with
simple, sophisticated clothes. Clothes
that may be plain to the point of
severity, but which are so right in
color and fit that they seem a part
Of you.
Since there can be no chic where
one Is uncomfortable, there seems no
limit to clothes comfort in the Sum-
mer things of 1884 The easy free
dom of f1t above the waistline con-
tributes half the charm to this froCk.
And it typities all that is newest
and best in the latest collections.
You may make this dress in any
OF the new cottons. Pique, gingham
madras, broadcloth, seersucker or
linen.

so that the child wakens with an
appetite for this meal.
Because it is sometimes difficult
to eat hearty breakfast Immediately
after rising. it is better to set an
earlier rising hour, so that the child
has time to run about. preferably in
the open air, before he eats break
fast. Any fruit juice makes a good
appetizer before breakfast as well as
being an essential part of the diet.
Perhaps the scrambled haste with
which a child eats breakfast and
departs on the run for school is. more
than any one thing, the answer to
appetitelessness. There is always the
fear of tardiness nagging at him.
These worries only the mother can
allay by her placidity as well as her
management of time.
Some appetizing combinations for
breakfast are discussed in my leaflet,
School Breakfasts" which may be
obtained for a self-addressed. three
cent stamped envelope. These ideas
may inspire the mother to provide
the child with. the hot, wholesome
meal that will lfortify him for the
cold walk to school and the energetic
program Of a busy morning.

Conquering Contract
BY P. HAL SIMS

Third. Therefore you have four
cards in the minor suits. not more
than three of which are losers, other
wise you would have four losers in
the hand and could not have made
a tWo-bid
This much he knows; he may also
take it that both your major suits
are headed as solidly as they ac-
/ tually are. However, he does not
know how your minor-suit losers are
arranged; you may have A x and
X, or A X and Xxx or A alone and
x Necessarily, if he has both
minor kinds, one of them must be
a key card for your hand and the
other one give an even chance OF
making the slam by finding the ace
on your left. But he must be able
to offer play for slam in nc
trumps as well as in spades if he
assumes the responsibility of over
/ riding your game sign-off. If your
club holding Is a singleton, you will
eventually slam in spades and trust
to an even break in trumpS; but if
it turns out that you have in
clubs. then the slam will be played
by him in no trumps. Consequently
he must allow for this latter pos
sibility, and should only encourage
the slam if in addition to the king
of diamonds his hand supplied also
club holding in which, if the
declaration is no trumpS
There Will BE a Finesse to Lose
Only One Club Trick.
In other words, to bid four no
trumps over your four-spade sign
off, your partner should have not
less than
Sp. Xxx Di xxx
Hts. CT. K 10 Xxx
as six no trumps will be a fine
chance if opener has A in dia-
monds and Xxx in clubs, or ace alone
of diamonds and xx Xxx in clubs:
whereas if opener has a singleton
club, he will slam in spades and
have at least an even chance to set
the clubs for the loss Of only one
trick and obtain any necessary dis
cards. The gamble is really only
on guessing the queen of clubs. OF
course, if opener had a singleton
diamond and A X in clubs, the
Iidllo oIlOulu dllU WOUlu IlOW Dc
slammed in clubs. as the four-no
trump bid reveals thoroughly
serviceable club suit as well as a
high diamond.
If Openers Heart Suit Had Also
Been a Five-Carder.
Note that responder must not bid
four no trumps over three hearts,
as that deprives opener of the op-
portunity Of rebidding his hearts in
case that is a fve-card suit. In the
latter event, responder would raise
the four-heart rebid to five hearts,
which opener would pass if he had
three minor-suit losers in his hand,
as plainly the responder has no ace
or he could bid six hearts over four,
having at this late stage located the
trump fit. With a third ace in his
hand, the opening bidder would OBJ
viously bid six hearts. knowing his
partners slam try (the raise to five
hearts. must show at least the two
missing kings.

How 1t Started
That Word "Grimace." :"
By JEAN NEWTON.
Don't make such grimaces!"

DOl Wdke SuCH STllldCeS!
Exasperated mothers, finding that
admonishment constantly necessary
with little boys who like to distort
their faces, would find a powerful
weapon to correct that habit In the
history Of the word.
The origin Of "grimace" has been
controversial among etymologists. One
scholar traced 1t back to the Spanish
"gimio." monkey. Tell that, mothers,
to the boys who like to grimace Then,
too, there were the old "grimaciers, "
craftsmen and artists who specialized
in carving fantastic heads on build
ings-the gargoyles, with their gro
tesque faces.
We know definitely that we have
the word directly from the French,
and there is strong probability that 1t

given to it because it grew in

who introduced 1t into the West In

and very sour When the grapefruit
appeared on the markets, it was con-
fused with the shaddock and let
alone.
In spite Of the fact that doctors
recommended it highly, the grape
fruit had a hard struggle to come
into its own. OF course, it was har-
vested before it was ripe, and being
very sour, it was served with sugar
and wine.
At first. the grapefruit was so ex-
pensive 1t was considered a. rare treat
to have for dessert. The fruit was
cut in half, and the seeds carefully
removed, as well as the core The
sugar was then heaped up in the

too high priced for many.
The flavor of a grapefruit, ripened
on the tree, is very delicious, and
once you have learned to eat the fruit
without sugar. you will never enjoy
it again with it. The fruit does not
contain so much citric acid as the
lemon, but it does have some of the
bitter tonic quality Of cinchona.
