When Johnny Broaca deserted the Yankees in Cleveland without so much as saying goodbye, he gave Kemp Wicker another chance to prove he was ready for the big show.
 Wicker was recalled from the Yankees Newark farm to bolster the weakened hurling staff of the world champions. Manager Joe Mc- Carthy lost little time in finding out whether or not Kemp was the pitcher he needed. He sent the blond lefthander out on the mound the first day he was available. It was the opening day of the recent St. Louis series. Kemp gave a fine account of himself, turning in a steady exhibition and defeating the Browns, who were playing their first game under their new man. ager, Jim Bottomley.

 Paris (UP)-Silver and gold stars are scattered generously over sum- mer dresses and hats. Some of the small evening turbans are sprinkled with stars of flashing sequins. Others in plain materials have stiff little face veilS that are dotted with tiny metallic stars.
 Large gold or silver stars are used as trimming on the crown and again on the brmi of many of the new wide-brimmed afternoon hats. Star embroidery is a result of the Coronation, and there is hardly a large dress house in Paris which has not three or four star -spangled dresses in the summer collections Black tulle studded in silver stars Is popular choice. The stars are of varying size and glimmer through folds of the tulle which makes up the graceful, swinging skirt. Gold stars on lighter-than-navy has been chosen by many women for cooI tulle evening gowns.
 The star pattern Is popular Ill other fabrics, as well. A garden party frock of cream-colored eyelet embroidery is designed in a pattern of a series of cutout stars. This dress, which was made on the traditional puffed sleeve, long, full skirt lines, was worn with . sash of lemon yellow.
 Pale yellow stars are printed on Q midnight blue silk background for Q tailored dinner dress with an ac- companying jacket. The stars are of varied size, giving the material the effect of a summer sky.

 Mrs. Rockefeller was the daugh- ter of the late Senator Nelson w. Aldrich, who left an estate of $3O,000,000. As Abby Gene AL drich she was belle of Provi- dence. With her marriage to John D., Jr, on October 9, 1901, she put social activity aside, and devoted her time to art and char ity. In May, 1895, she gave the major part of her personal col- lection of art to the Museum of Modern Art, of which she was q founder. This donation included 181 drawings, paintings and water colors from Americans such as Bellows, Wakefield and George Hart; the French artists Please, Matisse, Cezanne and Modigliani; and German, Russian and Scan- dinavian masters.
 One painting by Max Beck mann, which depicted 8 family in one room, idling, reading or sew- ing, was entitled, "A German Family" The Nazi newspaper, "Angriff," objected to this gift, saying that the painter of the pie ture had had his best days before the era of the NaziS.

What fascinating tales palms tell! And how fascinating you are to your friends if you can read their palms. It's simple to know how, too.
 Begin with your own hands. Is the Head Line longer in the right hand than in the left one? If 1t is, congratulations The left hand shows the qualities you were born with, the right hand what you've done with them-and the long Head Line in the right hand says you've done well!
 And the Heart line. Does it run across the entire palm in your left hand-but is short in the right one? You've conquered too affec- donate, jealous nature.
 Or is 1t riches you want? A long fourth finger says you'll make money esily. A star below the first nger says you'll have power.

 Is canned fish, such as salmon, crab, tuna, a proper substitute for meat, particularly when meat Is used only once a day? (Mrs. G. F. B.
 Answer-Fresh fish or shellflish is good staple to use in place of meat one or more days a week. Canned salmon is a good source of iodin and it is a good source of Vitamin D. Aside from the palate pleasing qualities of fish, sea fish and shell fish, such food from the sea particularly is desirable in the diet for the iodin content. Most people living inland, especially at elevations, do not get enough iodin. Calcium
 have been taking dicalcium phosphate tablets, each containing nine grains calcium phosphate and 6 grains calcium gluconate and 660 units vitamin D. How do these tablets compare with the calcium content of milk? (Mrs. A. S0
 Answer-A quart of milk contains approximately 20 grains of calcium. In my opinion plain milk or cheese, say cottage cheese, is superior to any medicinal form of calcium or phosphorus. There is more calcium .. (lime) in milk than in lime water, for example. The organic or inor- ganic phosphorus and calcinum in milk or cheese is probably more suitable for human nutrition than is any medicinal preparation con- taining calcium or phosphorus.

 Generally speaking, the woman who exercises her feet, keeps them immediately clean and wears prop erly fitted shoes and stockings will have few, if any, foot ailments.
 Authorities agree that the nna- jority of corns, callouses and bunions are caused by shoes which do not fit and that a large percentage of arch and instep pains would not exist if the pa- tient would walk more and do a few simple foot exercises now and then.
 Do not buy shoes with heels which are too high for you. The fact that your neighbor is com- fortable in spike heels Is no sign you will be. There is a certain height which is comfortable for each individual, and the sooner she discovers it, then stick to it, the better of her feet will be.
 Furthermore, insist upon hav- ing your feet measured before you let the salesman bring you a selection of shoes. Don't depend on the size of your old pair. The size of feet do change. Usually it is better to wear summer shoes one-haf size larger than winter models. Stockings ought to be exactly right, too-neither too large nor too snug. And do put on 8 clean pair every morning. If possible, do not wear the same pair of shoes day after day. It's better for your feet, and the shoes as well, to give them 8 days rest after each wearing.
 One should walk and stand with toes pointed straight ahead. Dancing is splendid exercises for the feet. So is standing with toes on the edge of step with heels hanging over. When you can do this easily, practice standing on tiptoes, then lowering feet until heels are over the edge again. Repeat ten times.
 If you have a small corn, sim- ply keep 1t covered with an open Denter cotton pad. If this doesn't cure 1t, see a reliable podiatrist or chiropodist. Bunions need pro- eessional attention immediately.
