Leviinsky Looked
Bad Yesterday

ROUND LAKE, Ill.,, Aug. 2,
King LevinSky's ardent followers
are mortified.
Why, they below, should Joe
Louis be a 3-to-1 favorite to whip
their King at Comiskey Park next
Wednesday night?
Who, they scream, has Joe
Louis ever whipped? Camera was
but a hollow hulk, they point
out. Why the King was robbed
in his fights with Baer, and
should have had the decision.
But for all that, the odds
might well be even greater to-
day on the strength of Levinsky's
showing yesterday against his
sparring partners. He was slow
and listless.

For Hank, former resident Of
New York's Bronx, is fast making
a record for himself as slugger Of
the junior circuit. Greenberg to-
day is either leader or runnerup
in every department Of offensive
play in the league.
His batting average Of 1897
places him second to Joe Vosmik,
of the Indians with 1888 to his
credit. Hank is also second man
in the circuit in runs scored. But
these two features of his play fall
far short Of telling the story Of
his rise.
Leads League
Greenberg leads the league in
runs batted in, with 1872; in most
hits, with 1888; in total bases, with
276; in most doubles, with "a; in
most hor.e runs, with %; and he
is among the leaders with 10
triples. In other words, Hank
comes as close to being a o1e-man
team, as a single player can, for
his defensive play is Grade A.
In the to defeat Of the st.
Louis Browns by the Tigers yes
terday, Greenberg made three hits
in four trips to the plate. Gen.
eral Alvin Crowder held the
Brownies in check for eight in
ningS, but weakened in the ninth
as the st. Louis boys scored three
runs. Hogsett finished the game,
as the Tigers gained another half
a game on the idle New York
Yankees.
Cubs Falter
The Chicago White Sox, with a
chance to catch the YankS in Sec
ond place, faltered and surren-
dered the final game of the Sc
ries to the Cleveland Indians, 8
to 3. Thornton Lee allowed the
Sox 10 scattered hits, but was
never in serious danger. Carl
Fischer and Johnny Salveson
hurled for Chicago and were
touched for IA hits.
In the National League, the
Chicago Cubs again faltered with
virtual tie for the leadership
in view, as they went down before
the Pittsburgh Pirates, 6 to S.
The leagueleading Giants, who
benefited by the defeat of the
Cubs. were idle. The Pirates put
the game on ice in the second
inning scoring six runs. four of
them coming in at one time
when Arky Vaughan hit a
homer with the bases full. The
Cubs challenged in the ninth but
fell one run short of tieing the
score. The loss leaves the Cubs
one full game behind the New
York Giants.
frankie Frisch shot up his
lineup, benching Pepper Martin
in favor of Charley Colbert, and
the result was a to 5 win for
the st. Louis Cardinals over the
troublesome Reds. Dizzy Dean
was credited with his seventeenth
win, although Hausser and Halla-
han followed him to the hill.
Paced by the veteran Tom
Zachary, who pitched his typical
steady game, the Brooklyn club
took the measure Of the Boston
Braves, 4 to 2. Ben Cantwell op-
posed Zachary, and was touched
for II hits.

 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
 Arches in Foot
 Please say how many arches in the foot and where they are locat. ed. have foot trouble and some people tell me this talk about arches is all baIoney. (Mrs. A. H.) Answerl-- Two, one being the arch from great toe joint upward toward instep and down toward heel; the other being an arch from great toe joint across the foot to the base of the little toe. Send stamped envelope bearing your address, and ask for instructions on Care of the Feet.
 Tuberculosis
 Is it possible for person who has tuberculosis to become infected to a greater extent by living with others who have 1t? Also, is it wise for. friends to visit a patient in tuberculosis sanatorium?
 (M. D.. RI Answer - Yes, one who has tu- berculosis may acquire secondary infections from other patients, which will aggravate his condition. It is safe to visit any tuberculosis patient who is intelligent and con- scientious or well cared for, as in a sanatorium. Tuberculosis is con- tracted not by casual or occasional exposure but by constant or fre- quent exposure, as in living with or working with one who has the dis ease. stT

 The Play
 West opened the five of hearts. East wisely refused to win the trick. Declarer started the club suit immediately by. leading the deuce from dummy. East played the queen. Now what would you do in the West position?
 You havert the ace-three. If you let your partners queen hold the trick, the contract lis made. but just, stop. and think and say to yourself, 'If my partner has an- other club. 1t must be the king; therefore win unblock for him by oyertaking his queen with the ace" & .z ..t.s. <.
 This is what West did. He re- turned the deuce of hearts, which East won with the ace, and he i'm. niediately returned another heart.
 Now when declarerf tried to es-, tablish the club suit, East won with the king and made his good heart tricks. Vests unblocking play was what defeated the con Copyright, 1885 NnA1 ssrvics, lieJ

Solution to Previous Contract Problem

When in an ace not an ace? When 1t Is held by a nonthinking partner. " .S
 You have heard players say, Well, an ace is an ace, and it will always take a trick" How ever, whether it is an ace or a deuce that you have to play. think. Go over the situation that confronts you before making your play.
 If you look over today's hand, I believe, you will say that West made a very nice defensive play. However, he did nothing more than think. The play is not diff ficult. You can make the same kind of plays and you will find bridge much more interesting if you concentrate on it. The Bidding
 The bidding in today's hand is rather odd. North's bid of two hearts is made with the idea of driving his partner into no trump. If he is doubled, he can always go back to three clubs. %'k !.

Thus little more than, one woman but of ten, over 15,, is a widow but only one man out of twenty.

soAP IS ANTIsEPTIC

SOAP IS ANTISEPT1C
 In the old days if a little boy used bad language he was liable to have his mouth washed out with soapy water. Nowadays he is liable to become a writer of novels or plays. Soap is so darn common and cheap that it is a bit risky for a health column conductor to tell the truth about it. Text and reference books make no mention of the germicidal action of soap, so in order to find what had been done in this field Dr. Thomas B. Wood made a general review of medical literature and found some important studies. It will pay the progressive physician to read Dr., Woods contribution Soap as a Therapeutic Agent" in Medical Times, July, 1935.
 One striking fact Dr. Wood brings out is that investigators (LIarson and Nelson) found exper- mentally that, soap added to toxins detoxifies them. Guinea pigs in- jected with one hundred times the minimum lethal dose of diphtheria toxin and tetanus toxin to which soap was added failed to develop symptoms. And Davison injected guinea pigs with ten times the min- mum lethal dose of tetanus toxin, which invariably killed within 16 hours, but control animals injected with the same dose of toxin mixed with a few drops of per cent soap solution survived from two to five days. These and other scientific in- vestigators believe soap forms a film around the taxin and so inter- feres with it's absorption and action. Likewise soap forms film around germs and causes their death by excluding them from their nutritive medium. Another possibility is that soap simply neutralizes germ toxins or poisons as an alkali neutralizes an acid. A familiar, but not so plausible explanation of the thera- peutic antiseptic action of soap is that it increases surface tension" but who cares?
 Numerous conditions and cases cited in Dr. Woods report indicate the wide field of, application of soap. New York hospitals use standard CA per cent solution of U. s. P. soft soap (Sapo rpollis) con- taining from 60 to 75cper cent so- dium oleate. In private practice Dr. Wood uses a solution of one dram of tincture of green soap to the pint of water.
 Disinterested tests of numerous poplar brands of soap showed that there is no significant difference in their antiseptic power. Use any soap you like, only so it is not "medicated" or modified by addi- tion of chemicals.
 No mention in Dr. Woods article of grandma's grand old soap and sugar poultice for stone bruise and other serious setbacks of the good old summer time. dare say that treatment beats any modern rem- edy you can apply.
 Vincent's angina (trench mouth), acute sore throat, tonsilitis, quinsy, are among the conditions where soap solution is valuable as mouth wash and gargle or spray. It is ex- cellent as a wet dressing for sep tic wounds. It is used for gastric and doudenal lavage as a therapeu- tic measure. Finally 1t is probably

they might buy. In the end, Ruth chose 3 string of glass beads, know ing that Penny would think them a crystal necklace from a depart ment store. Thus the girl she was impersonating would not be made to appear small and stingy.
 It. was a queer feeling, paying out the dime and the one-cent tax, because it left her purse quite empty The bus driver had said to her, Gimme your dollar. Keep the '1even cents!" It was his way of telling her a girl should never be without the price of a phone call or. 8 street car ticket. But now the deed was done. Ruth was utterly penniless.

With emergency shelves and del- icatessen stores handy, there is no reason on earth why a simple home meal planned with the children in
 mind shouldn't easily be converted into company one with frills at need--arid no fuss about 1t, either. A soup-canned or homemade "a salad of fresh fruits or vegeta-

 Advance planning often enables you to double up on cooking pro- cesses, too. Enough potatoes can
 be boiled at one time for the im- mediate meal and creamed pota- toes, mashed brown or any one of
 a number of savory uses planned
 for the following one. A meat pie, tambale. hash or croquettes will take care of the left-overs from the weekly roast, S
 Bread pudding, bread .crumb pancakes or a mock duck use up a weeks accumulation of stale bread and crumbs. A jellied salad in the middle of the week finishes odds and ends of fruits and veg etables. H

 Paris = (UP.) = Imagine satin pants below a satin evening gown! But that is just exactly what Schia- parelli is showing in her. new col- lection, and this novel creation for evening wear Is causing quite a sensation here in Paris. The pants are long and straight and quite sep arate from the gown they accom- pany.
