these would have disappeared, and
great areas would be without any
but minimal blood supply. This
means, and in actual practice it
works out, that at any minute
some part of such a body is likely
to be deprived Of blood entirely
for instance, an anemic area may
appear in the heart, and frequently
this happens in the brain, leading
to transitory symptoms of apo
plexy.
OF all parts Of the body the feet
and legs are most likely to suffer
from poor circulation. They are
farthest away from the heart, the
impulse of the heart is less felt
there, and when these aging vessels
are obliterated, the heart may not
be able to force blood into the mar
rowed ones that are left at rate
of speed sufficient for complete
nourishment. Besides that, when
the feet are in the dependent posi-
ton, the circulation for some rea-
son--possibly varicose degenera-

CONTRACT BRIDGE

AS partner naQ bid no trump,
North opened his longest suit, by
leading the 5 of hearts. Dummy's
6 covered and South's K went to
declarer's Ace. The @ Of spades
was allowed to run to South's K.
Back came the 3 of hearts. De-
clarer's @ won the trick. He led
his ] Of spades. North's Ace won.
Then the J Of hearts took a trick
The @ of diamonds was the next
lead. South's 6 wagged "come on.
Declarer was in with his K. A low
trump was led. Dummy's luck
lily cleaned up both hostile trumps
The 7 Of clubs was led. When
South played low, SO did declarer.
North's 8 won the trick: The ] of
diamonds took the next trick.
When the 10 of diamonds was led,
declarer used his last trump to
ruff. Then he took his Ace of
clubs. He could do no more. He
had to give defenders the last two
tricks, but he had won six tricks,
and was down two tricks on his
contract, costing him only 800
points, as his side was not vulner-
able.
Except for the redouble several
other things might have happened.
First suppose that West had
passed. Doubtless North would
have summarized bidding ONO
Trumps. Had South been wise
enough to pass he would not have
suffered much, if any. Had South
ventured 3-No Trumps, whether or
not West doubled, the contract
would have been set.
Had North failed to redouble
Vests double, East must have bid
diamonds and West probably
would have bid 2-Spades. Vests
double was all right, but he hap
pened to find PARTNER trickleSS.

Caring for Feet and Legs
OfMiddLe Aged and Aged

the parts is poor. Every degree Of
this may occur; the last and worst,
of course, being gangrene. "Senile
gangrene" it is called, in this case;
if due to actual change, called ZEN
dartitis".
The fact gives warning long be-
fore the most serious complications
occur. There is pain in walking,
especially in the calves Of the legs.
If the foot assumes a parchment
like pallor on elevation, it is time
to begin to give attention. Mostly
this means rest.
The greatest use Of our extremi-
ties is in walking, and it is not
until some reason for cutting down
on this arises that we realize how
much unnecessary walking we do.
There is an old adage: use the
head and save the feet"
The footstool is an invariable
part of the picture Of grandma or
grandpa. And it should be. When
elderly people are resting, the feet
should always be. elevated, and the
footstool is also valuable for keep
ing the feet out Of the way Of in
iuries from other members of the
family stumbling about. Such
bruises are to be avoided above all
things. Any infection must also
be treated promptly with antisep-
tics and hot packs. Extreme pre-
cautions should be used in per-
forming even such trivial services
as cutting the toe nails, that the
skin not be broken, for Infection
makes Roadway in these badly
nourished feet very rapidly.
All this, Of course, especially ap-
plies to middle-aged and elderly
diabetes. In fact, one Of the earh-
est signs that there is some ar
terial change in the body, most
likely in the feet, is the finding of
sugar in the urine.
Varicose veins also cause circu-
latory disturbances of another
character. Fortunately they can
be treated now with the minimum
amount of time and discomfort
without operation, by the injection
method.

THE INFORMATORY PASS

THE INFORMATORY pass is
an important convention. While
it is not used widely, all players
should understand it. When part
ner's informatory double is redou-
bled, if you hold a worthless hand,
with suit divisions 1888, in case
the doubled and redoubled call Is
q suit, the informatory pass shows
your only 4-card suit Is the one bid
by opponents. In case the doubled
and redoubled call is no trumps,
the informatory pass shows part
ner that your only 4-card suit is a
worthless minor suit. The knowl-
edge that the player passing holds
3 cards of any suit partner chooses
to bid enables him to make his
best suit call without feeling
obliged to jump into another call,
when he is doubled.

CHANGE In SCHOOLS
HOURS is ADVISED
Van Duzar Says Traffic Study
Shows 1903 80 Period Is
More Feasible.

Results of a partially completed
trafflc study indicate it would be more
feasible to change the school opening
hour in the District from to $50
am. and the closing hour from to
$3.50 pm, rather than move the time
the other way, Traffic Director William
A. Van Duzer revealed today.
In recent poll parents voted over
whelmingly in favor of a change in
the hour Of school opening, due to the
heavy traftic during the $3.50 TO
o'clock rush In the morning, and many
favored advancing the opening hour
to $50.
ITO send the children out into
the morning traffic rush, which is
greatest between 8 and in the morn
ing. would be almost as bad as the
present unsatisfactory conditions, the
survey shows, declared Van Duzer.
IF the children did not have to
get to school until $50, they could
start from their homes after the
peak of the morning rush has passed.
Leaving school at $3.50 instead of 8,
they still could get home before the
afternoon peak, which starts at pm"

264 MORE HERE "
ON OLD-AGE LIST
Assistance to Be Granted
Persons Who Have Been
on Relief.

Old age assistance will be granted
to approximately 264 additional Wash
ington residents by the end Of this
month, raising the total to about 500,
most Of whom have been on the emer-
gency relief list, officials Of the Board
of Public Welfare said today.
Nearly 5000 applications have been
fled to date. It has been estimated
that between 1,500 and 1900 requests
would be granted. A total of $2,470
was distributed to the 236 cases which
had been approved by the end Of May.
Not all of these were on the old age
assistance list for the full month.
The average grant to those placed
on the list for aid is expected to
amount to about $50 a month. Fed
eral aid Is extended to the District
and the States up to a maximum Of
SIS a month per case. The amount
to be paid each case is left to the dis
cretion of the local agencies.
A Per Cent Slash.
The A per cent slash in the staff
Of the Public Assistance Division to
be made effective next week Is ex-
pected to slow up action on pending
applications. The cut was ordered,
due to limitation Of $200, 900 placed
by Congress on the amount of Dis
trict revenues appropriated for relief
purposes which may be expended for
administration during the fiscal year,
beginning next Wednesday.
Of1cials next week also viii review
the cases Of between 900 and 1000
relief clients who are scheduled to be
dropped from the relief list because
they are not classed strictly as "un-
employables."
Continued on List.
These cases were said to be on the
border line and were continued on the
list after April /. At that time Abb
other cases, who were claSsed as en-
ployables, were dropped, due to near
exhaustion of District relief funds for
the fiscal year 1886.
The border-line cases were said to
be persons incapacitated temporarily
for work, or at least for jobs which
were available, but who we're not
strictly unemployable.
