Conquering Contract
-By P. HAL SIMS

be under much better control IN dia-
monds than In no trumps, even though
it means taking two more tricks. All
passed the f1ve-diamond contract.
The Play.
East opened with the ace Of spades
and then played small one. De-
clarer saw that the club finesse could
and must be taken once against the
king. This is a necessary finesse. but
the diamond finesse-likely to be q
loser anyway on the bidding-could
be avoided. He therefore started to
strip the hand first by playing the two
high hearts. When the queen fell, he
switched to clubs, finessing the jack.
He next trumped the third spade, then
led out the ace Of trumps, abandoning
any idea of the flneSse. Next he led
a small heart. East, however, did not
trump with his king; so dummy
ruffed. Now a small trump is led
from dummy, forcing East into the
lead. Now he Is hooked-either he
must lead a spade, enabling declarer
to ruff in dummy and throw OF his
own small club, or East must lead
away from his K-10 OF clubs into
tenace position formed by the ace
nine In dummy and the queen small
in North's hand. This Is perfect play
following perfect bidding. I want you
to notice how declarer took the neces-
sary finesse in clubs, but avoided the
trump finesse. Had he taken the lat
ter finesse, he would have lost 1t and
been set, as East would still have an
outcard in the small trump, there
with to escape the end play. Incl
dentally. the strip play here is double
strip, as he strips not only his own
hand and dummy's, but also East's
hand. in setting the stage for the final
coup de grace" East is compelled
to wreck the defense by means of his
trump trick; the guarded king Of
trumps becomes an instrument en-
ployed by the declarer.

MILADY BEAUTIFUL
BY LOIS LEEDS.

~ YOU feel q bit droopy in ths
morning and reluctant to get
up? Do you put of leaving
your comfortable bed so long
that you have to snatch a
bite Of breakfast and then run?
Most of US pass through this stage
before we learn that 1t is much
pleasanter to save ourselves the un-
necessary nervous strain of tardy ris-
ing and hasty departure to school or
business by giving a little thought to
the problem beforehand. Disinclina-
ton toward getting up in the morn
ing is due to definite causes: it does
seem rather foolish to endure this
small daily martyrdom when it could
be avoided.
Lack Of sufficient hours Of sleep is
not the only cause of morning slug
gishness, although 1t is common
enough. The girl over lS years of
age needs about 8 hours sleep, while
younger girls should have more rest
in bed. When sleep is lost one night
it should be made up with interest
the following night. Poor ventilation
in the bed room is often responsible
for sleepy heads in the morning. But
one should not have the sleeping
apartment so cold that very heavy
coverings are needed: excessive weight
Of blankets and quilts interferes with
sound sleep. In Wintry weather it is
better to wear f1annelette pajamas and
lighter bed coverings than to wear
very thin nightgowns and heavier COW
erings.
When the digestive system is dis
ordered, sleep is less refreshing and
morning fails to bring new vigor
Chronic constipation makes one feel
drowsy even after long rest in bed.
Indigestion causes fitful slumber.
Worry and fear rob one Of the deep,
peaceful sleep that precedes the nor
NAL, happy awakening. All these
things can be corrected.
When there does not seem to be
any good reason for morning sleepi-
ness, a simple way to dispel it in a
few moments is to breathe deeply and
stimulate the circulation, which natu-
rally slows down during sleep. Here
are a few easy exercises for the pur-
pose, some of which are done in bed.
Repeat each exercise 10 times.
Exercise Give your limbs a good
stretching Bring both arms down at
your sides over the bedclothes, then
swing them upward and back. inhal-

Everyday Psychology
Images.
By DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs.

An image IS a mental picture. We
all do our thinking in terms of these
images, of which there are several
kinds. The most frequent kind OF
image is the visual image. You think
about things in terms Of how they
should look. The visual images seem
to be the most frequent, for the rea-
son that they dominate all our un-
conscious thoughts. For instance.
practically all your dream images
come to you in terms of vision.
The most interesting sort is the
vocal image When you use the vocal
image you think Of things according
to the way they should sound. Chill
dren seem to specialize in vocal
images, gradually substituting the
visual for the verbal image, as they
learn to read.
Adults who do little reading are
likely to retain the vocal imagery. Or
if they lead lonely lives they frequent
ly revert to vocal imagery. In a gen.
eral way, you may say that the young,
the illiterate, and the lonely do a
good deal Of their thinking in terms
Of sounds.
The child at play, talking to itself,
is taken as normal. The lonely man
walking the streets, talking to him.
self, arouses ones curiosity, II not
suspicious, about his sanity.

I went in the barber shop to look
at the funny magazines and the 2
BARRIERS was tawking and argewing
about wich was the best to go to, the
theater or the movies. one saying,
Give me the movies every time, Joe,
you can go to sleep in the movies
without waking up with blush Won

wasting your admission money, and
If your head gets away from you and
happens to bump over on the shoul-
der Of the swell looking dame in the
next seat, at least there's l chance
out Of Q possible 10 that she'll leave
It there till the lites 60 up.
I'd rather sleep home, it's cheaper
and easier on the neck, and when my
head roosts on q classy shoulder
blade don't want to be unconscious
at the time, the other barber said
I'll take the theater, Fred, it's more
personel. If you don't like an actors

your hair. you can give him the razz-
berry over the gallery rail, and that's
what I call the personel touch. but

you nowheres but the bughouse, so
the ony way to get any satisfaction
is to go out and hiss the gerl at the
box office window, but she's got your
money so go ahead and hiss for it
and see how much good it does you
Just same If a picture terms out
to be a flop or you find you've
wawked into the middle Of a mussy
love tangle when you expected to
meet a buntch of cowboys, why, you
just calmly wawk out again instead
of throwing good time after bad
money, and If you half to step over
a few peoples toes on your way to
the lie you just mermer politely, Ex-
cuse me, here's where I came In. the
ferst barber said But what are you
going to do If you get stuck in the
middle of row in the middle of a
bum play? How are you going to say,
Here's where I came in this time last
mite? Nothing doing. you're anchored
for the rest OF the act, give me the
pictures, Joe, he said.

A Little Saturday Talk.

A Little Saturday Talk.
- HOULD a girl plan to be an
airplane pilot9 This question
I Is raised In letter from one Of
our readers:
Dear Uncle Ray: I am q
girl and would like to be an airplane
pilot. Many of my friends and my
parents say that it is very foolish
even to think Of 1t at my age. ] am
13. Do you think it is so foolish or
awful? I would be more experienced
in later years If I started now. A
Corner club member,
HELEN HANSULT"
II by starting now you mean that
you would try to fly an airplane right
away, think it would be mistake,
Helen. In my opinion, neither boy
nor a girl at the age Of 13 Is fitted to
handle an airplane or an automobile.
On the other hand, you may mean
that you would study about airplane
motors, and about ways of handling q
<plane in the air. Such study should
do no harm, and might do good.
Thirteen is young age for any
person to choose a career. Our ideas
change as the years 60 by. When I
was IL or 13 years old, decided to
become q missionary. I thought that
I would first practice on the people
of China, and then would go to
Africa. changed my mind, and
turned out to be q writer.
Some women are excellent drivers
Of automobiles, and there is no reason
why women cannot pilot airplanes.
Several women already have won fame
in that field; and one Of them, Amelia
Earhart, made q solo flight across the
Atlantic.
In time to come, airplanes will be
equipped with devices which Will
make them much more safe than they
are now 1t may be that air travel
will be as safe as train travel at a
future date.
Another letter runs in this wise:
Dear Uncle Ray: guess you
travel all over the world, and know
almost every planet. would like to
ask you q question What is the name
of the nearest planet to the earth?'
I asked my daddy that, and he said
he wasn't sure but he thought It was

and so suddenly that he never knew
what happened; he was caught. Mrs.
Reddy had that so sorely needed
dinner.
What did I tell you, my dear?"

see was right. The two Of US did
what neither of us could do alone,
and that foolish young Rabbit did
exactly as I knew he would. That
wouldn't have worked with Peter
Rabbit or with Old Jed Thumper.
They are too wise and know us too
well to be caught with any such trick
as this No, my dear, don't want
part of your dinner. You need it all.

And Mrs. Reddy did need it all and
she ate 1t all while Reddy looked on

~ EDDY FOX worked slowly and
- carefully along little ridge
IN In the Old Pasture. He moved
i Y slowly because he couldn't
have moved rapidly II he had
wanted to: the snow was too deep. As
he waded through the snow his ears,
his nose and his eyes were alert and
at work. Along toward tile end Of
that ridge he had seen q foolish
young Rabbit doing In his form
under . bush. Reddy had left him
there undisturbed to go back for Mrs.
Reddy, for he knew by experience un-
aided that 1t would be hopeless to
try to catch the Rabbit. Now Mrs
Reddy was hidden in little clump Of
evergreens down on the other side Of
that ridge. II that Rabbit was still
sitting under that bush Reddy was
sure that the plan he had so care
fully made would work out as he
wanted 1t to.
A Merry Little Breeze blew in his
face and tickied his nose. Reddy
stopped and held his nose high. Then
he grtnned. That Merry Little Breeze
had brought the scent Of Rabbit. It
was faint, very faint, but 1t told
Reddy what he wanted to know. That
Rabbit was still there. Reddy turned
of to the left and circled around.
He wanted to be there when that
Rabbit should become alarmed he
would go of In the right direction.
Reddy could no longer get that
Rabbit scent, but this didn't matter.
He knew that Just where that Rabbit
was and this was all that was
necessary.
He moved more slowly and eau
tiously than before, If that were pos
sible. Presently he made out a gray
brown form under a certain bush. He
had no real hope of getting near
enough to spring and catch that Rab-
bit himself, but he approached as If
he had. Nearer he crept and nearer
Could 1t be that that foolish Rabbit
really was asleep? Reddy tingled all
over with the excitement Of the hunt.
II he could get Just few steps nearer
he might succeed.
Then, Just as he decided that one
more step would put him near enough
for quick spring, that Rabbit hoped
out from under that bush and started
down a little path Of his own making.
He hoped only little way, turned,
and sat up to stare back at Reddy.
He showed no fear. He wasn't afraid.
That Fox couldn't begin to plunge
through the snow as fast as he, with
his lighter weight, could run on it
along that little path.
Reddy plunged after him as II he
meant to try to run him down. The

Audrey's father Is right. Venus
comes closer to the earth than any
other major planet. There are times
when it Is less than 30,000,000 miles
from the earth. At other times it Is
more than 150,000,0O0 miles away.
Venus goes around the sun in less
time than the earth does, and that
is why they do not keep the same
