merely that you bid any hand with
as much as nine and one-half points.
Transposing to trick valuation, there
Is no such simple and exact rule. We
might say that you should open the
bidding with any hand which has
more than three tricks.
HAVING considered the pass, we
will now turn to the minimum
requirements for an opening bid of
one in a suit. The opening bid Of one
in a suit Is essentially an attacking
measure; hence you must have am
munition, represented by high cards,
and these high cards should represent
more than your fair share. With a
26-point total, the average is six and
one-half. In order to open the bid
ding, your H. C. v. should be at least
seven, but of course the fact that you
have an H. c. v. Of seven does not in
itself make your hand an opening
bid. and as first group we will take
those hands where the H. C. v. ranges
from seven to nine.
Will lCoo IIldLl bCNCl VIC
pass; with more than nine you must
bid: hence seven to nine represents the
borderline zone in which hand may
either be bid or a pass. The higher
it is in this borderline zone, the more
you should endeavor to find bid; the
lower it is in the borderline zone, the
more likely that you should pass. How
ever, a simple working rule is needed,
so here goes:
With an H. c. v. Of seven or seven
and one-haf Gust, above average or
around two and one-haf tricks you
should open the bidding only if you
have good six-card or very strong
five-card suit.
With an H. c. v. of eight or eight
and one-half "a queen and jack or
king above average, or in trick
valuation between two and one-haH
and three tricks a good five-card
suit or strong four-card suite, or a
hand Of offensive type, such as 4-4-4-1
distribution.
With nine points (king and jack
above average. or three tricks, you
will open the bidding, If possible.
Therefore, the only instance in which
you pass is when you have no five
card suit or biddable four-card suit.
And there, in a nutshell, you have
the minimum requirements for an
opening bid, which, incidentally, should
be the same in any position, vulner.
able or not.

ing regimen should first of all tend to IMPROVE general health. If it does not do so, 1t is probably not scientifically suited to your individ- ual requirements. Sound, healthful, and in the long run successful dwindling usually is a gradual, al- most perceptible process of say, an inch a month, pound a week, and your friends notice nothing except that you seem bit more alive and active than you were, the change is so gradual and so natural.
 The superfluous flesh is usually acquired in just that way-gradu- ally, insidiously, 8 pound a month, over period of years. Best to get rid of 1t as it came. No violence. No starvation. No severe restrictions of diet. No strenuous, perhaps danger ous exercise. No risky medicine. No rnonkeying with gland functions or hormones. No punishing sweat baths under plain or fancy names. No silly massage. No miracle soap or salve for the dimwit to rub in. Just a re- versal of the process of degenera- tion; kind of regeneration or re- juvenation. This is @ fair term to apply to a rational regimen of girth control.

BIG HIPS AND. THIGHS
 SPOIL PRETTY FIGURES (NEA Service Staff Writer)

(NEA SerVice 6taH WFiteTI You don't have to spend your time worrying because your hips are so much larger than those of fashion show models, but, once your hip measurements start to show signs of being all out of proportions to the rest of your body, better do some- thing at once.
 The tall girl with 8 bust has reason to be upset when she dis covers that her hips measure 4O. They ought to be about 37. The size 42 has cause to worry the day she learns that her hips are more than 46. If she allows them to get larger and larger. so they eventually reach 50. she is guilty of neglect and ruination of her figure.
 You determine your correct hip- line measurements only after care- full check-up on the size of your waist and bust. It is not so much what you weigh. but how the weight is distributed that decides whether your figure is handsome or ugly.
 A woman's hips have a tendency to spread as she gets older. of course. Sometimes this is because she re- fuses to wear any kind of gIrdle or corset in spite of the fact that she sits in a desk chair seven hours Q day. year after year. Or 1t may be because she Oyereats and never ex- erclses. Whatever the cause, OveF- development Of the hips can be avoided. Exercises are the answer.
 l know a young school teacher who reduced her hips three full inches in exactly six months sim- ply by rolling on the floor fifty times night and morning. If you decide to try this one, don't get any Idea that you are supposed to roll over and over across the room until your body is bruised and your head thr0b- blng with pain. You are to lie on the. floor on your bSsk. keeping your shoulders fiat and arms ct your sides. Simply roli your body back and forth as far as t will be witb- out forcing your shoulders to move. Tine walstiIne does the work. The hips and thighs. pressed hard against the floor as they are, derive the benefit.

A LESSON IN LEssEN1NG

A LESSON IN LESSENING
 Let us suppose you have @ job of dwindling, lessening, Production to you dumbbell) to do. The question is, how shall you proceed?
 First of all, it is the bulk or size of the body, not the weight, you wish to shrink. Frankly, no one cares much about the poundage. You crave only girth control.
 It is just as well that this is SO. Any one who checks body weight rather than measurements is likely to be misled, especially by trick scales of the spring type. Only Q balance beam gives reasonably ac- curate check on weight; and that must balance perfectly when the guage is at zero. Besides the actual weight of Q normal person varies two or three pounds at different times in the day and from day to day even at the same time of day. Little advantage in any circumstance in measureing weight oftener than once a week.
 The custom of taking as "ideal" or normal" body weight according to age and height is still more fnislead- ing, for after all such arbitrary perfect" is only the general average obtained from weighing thousands of individuals. It does not allow for differences in type of build, nor for differences in the skeletal structure, the size of the bones, the relative length of the trunk and limb, the depth of chest or the breadth of bony pelvis. These differences of foundation or ground plan must be considered in determining the form and size of the body.
 Where most oversize individuals fail in attempts to dwindle is in the haste with which they try to achieve the purpose. It is possible, of course, by radical means, to shrink in bulk quite speedily, perhaps with such abruptness as to startle and alarm your friends--and their alarm is likely to be well founded. Such rapid melting away of superfiuous flesh is rarely safe and never actually healthful, I think. A sound lessen-

There are several ways of find- ing whether you are sensitive to-cer- tain foods. The commonest offen- ders with children are milk, eggs, and wheat. Adults frequently are sensitive to pork fat, sea foods, nuts, and less frequently, to some fruits or vegetables.
 Meats, except pork, appear least likely of all foods to create sensi- tivities. If you are sensitive to wheat, linseed oil, or cottonseed oil, you are almost certain to have trouble, because of the wide use of these substances in cookery.
 Doctors test sensitivity in several ways. First they make careful in- Vestigation of your record to deter mine whether you become ill with any of the known symptoms after eating certain foods. Another method is to make a slight scratch on the skin and place on this scratch a drop Of a concentrated extract of the protein of the food concerned If you are sensitive. you react with red spot or an erup- tion.
 4 still more delicate test is to inject tiny amount of the ex- tract under the skin with a hypO- deFinlc needle Sensitigity reveals itself by spread of swelling from the point of injection to an area np tO an inch in diameter
 If you are sensitive tO a food, you may become sick from a single spoonful of it, and yet be able Co eat % times the amount Of some other food substance without hay- ing a symptom. Moreover, if you are sensitive tO one member of family Of food substances. you are likely tO react nnpleasanily tO all InemheTs Of that family,
 You can See from alI this that ln such eases scientific investigation by q physician is necessary for proper diagnosis.
 Besides lhe skin trst. there is fhe "tTlal and error" method Oi determining the presence 0i sens sliiyliy.

Q.-In what way do tumors differ from cancer? May the two types of growth affect the same tissue?
 A tumor is an enlarge ment. There are two gen. eral kinds of tumors, malig- nant and non-malignant. Malignant tumors are com- monly called cancer. All malignant tumors are char acterized by an overgrowth of cells which tend to burst the normal boundaries of the organ or tissue in which they originate, and to spread to distant parts of the body.
 Non-malignant, or benign, tumors are overgrowths of tissue which do not burst out of the organs or tissues in which they originate and do not show a tendency to migrate.
 They may grow to consid- derable size and become ob- noxious by reason of size, weight, or pressure. The pressure may involve nerves or blood vessels and thus lead to pain or Instructions of the blood stream.
 The same tissues in differ ent persons may give rise to either benign or malignant tunors.

It's smart .o buy up all kinds of tricky little first aids to turning ou; perfect meals for tired hus- ] ds.
 And the gadgets themselves warrant all the charming fuss. For they are easy and practical to work as even the dumbest bride could wish. For instance, instead of torturing metal into odd shapes that only baffle and bewilder the brightest of cooks, an effort is be- ing made to simplify kitchen uten- sils, to use new materials in old forms and to get articles in for- merly high-priced materials down to the budget level of the average housewife. Prices of former lux uries have been cut in half or more. ......
 Glassware for Use on Flame
 Any woman would want the new pyrexware sauce pan that you can put right on Q flame. This comes in several sizes and has a detachable handle with glass, button shaped lever. The detach- able handle not only prevents burned fingers, but makes 1t pos- sible to use the sauce pan in the oven as well well as on top of the stove.
 Then there is the lifetime stain less steel tea kettle which has pots to match. There are more ddly-shaped tea kettles on the affairs with light wood handles but for sheer convenience, I'll take this one. It holds five quarts, has al extra-broad top that makes it easy to clean and bakelite handles with curves underneath to make 1t form fitting to the hand.
