Should a Chi;d's Weight Increase
Steadily?

Steadily?
Yes of course it should But does it 4?
Well, er, no, it doesn't always. But
you just said it should
know l did, but then am always
perfectly ready to admit it, when ain
detected in an error. And actual ex-
perience compels me to confess that
some of the most nearly perfect speci-
mems of babyhood and childhood that
I have ever soon, acted most disap
pointingly, SO far as their parents who
were weight-chart addicts were coh
cerned.

pounds ahead of their age-rate age
weight, yet SO perfectly healthy and

happy that I refused to obey their
advice, to reduce" them Sy restrict

these same youngsters go for months
at time without gaining which of
course was exactly what we all want

ARE CARD PROBLEMS
MADE UP?

DEAR MR.. SHEPARD: Are the
published card problems made up. or
do they represent situations arising
in actual deals which have been
properly played by their holders? It
seems to me that none of them could
have been solved without double.
dummy study
Perhaps the above extract from a
letter represents the feeling of the
majority of card players of average
experience. Generations of PLAYERS
have studied problem hands without
knowing how the problems happened
to come into being.
No experienced player tnds any
difficulty in properly handling at the
table the grand coup. Vienna coup,
squeeze, strip or throw in the lead
the player who ie desired to lead up
to tenace. Most of the card prob
lens are based upon one of those
situations. The problem represents
the play of the last few cards, after
the expert has detected his proper
method of procedure. and has forced
his opponents into the situation
where he is able to oblige them to
play az he wishes -"

problems have arisen in actual play.
Possibly the one presenting the
problem has at times changed card

Questions and Answers

Question-Is there any way in
which measles can be prevented, like
giving typhoid inoculations, or vac
cinating against smallpox?
Answer--Yes, it is possible to ino-
culate a child, when measles is epide-
mic in a commounity, using the serum
from the blood of some one who has
previously had measles and ~ is
immune. This either prevents the
disease from developing; or elce rend-
ers it very mild, while still permitting
the child to develop a permanently
immunity against any future infection
with measles. It is newer than the
other projections, and not quite so
we'll standardized; but it is perfectly
safe, and perfectly effective

It seems that one Paul Nckeferoff, with whom the Kid had tangled on two previous occasions, winning both by the de- cision route, became rough and socked Jack in the face, flooring him. Although he was moved by an impulse to rise on the count of two, Vardeen kept his gloves on the floor while the referee counted him out, much to the surprise of the Anchorage fans.
