''Fiue of q Kind' Becomes Tops m Poker as Ne,U Fiue-Suit Deck Is Ushered m for Brid ge Fans

NEW YORK, March 24. = Nothing's sacred any more, and here's the proof the royal flush is scheduled to be toppled from it's throne.
 Pokers top hand was dealt q knockout body blow when four Am erican playing card companies made deliveries of new five-suit decks using dark green spread eagle as the pip for the fifth suit.
 Officials of the United States Playing Card Company, Norwood, a leader in the new move, gave out new poker valuations to go with the contract bridge rules for the sixty five-card deck.
 This is the way the hands will pay off now five of a kind, straight, flush, four of a kind, flush, full house, straight, three of kind, two pairs, and one pair. The royal flush thus becomes sec ond rate, the flush better than a full house.
 The game will continue to be played with five-card hand. Moth ing has been said about not having pretzels and beer and cigars with the game, even though a jealous eagle now and then spells the crim- son beauty of a diamond flush.
 Before the conservative player takes to the hills to play the old game in dark caves far from the irreverent innovations of the poker czars of the modern world, con- slider the cancellations the new valu- ations bring
 First, wizards of the old style will be as dumbfounded as the average player with an extra suit, so every one has a chance to start from scratch and become an expert. Sec ond, if the player is one of those foolhardy guys who likes to try to fill in broken down straights, fate and the laws of probability will help him.
 The extra suit was devised last summer by a Viennese mathemati- clan to make contract bridge more poppy. The fad spread to England where many five-suit decks were marked, with the fifth suit dubbed royals" and embossed with a green emblem patterned after the British crown
 The new bridge game, of course, will be played materially different ly. Each player will receive 16 cards, the extra one going to the declarer.

Planning to get a permanent? Paste this memo on your mirror: don't do anything to your hair for the two weeks preceding the per-. manent except brush it. No wash ing. no rinsing. no oil treatment just brushing. A hundred brush strokes every night would be just the thing.
 This is the advice of Stani Mars, a New York specialist on perma- n n ts. Another recommendation he makes is to wait until you're feeling pretty fit before having your permanent That's not vital. but Mars believes you get the best results when you're feeling top notch
 The kind of permanent you get spiral or croquinOle-d D Q n q upon how you want your hair to look A spiral irslres an even wave over the entire head With the cro- quinole you emphasize the curls at the ends of the hair. though you can get a croquinole with the ends left unwound to give tight curl to the rest of the hair
 You should be sure to see that the hairdresser cuts shapes and washes your hair before he starts on the permanent.
 And if you go to a new shop or get different operator from the one to whom you are accustomed, insist on test curl Make him try his method on just one curl so that you can see how he plans to do your head-so you can stop him in time if you don't like his method
