"Ths Authority Authorities"
'Ths Authority On Authoritiess

in spite Of the fact that his partner
had reversed" in the bidding by
calling higher ranking suit after
a lower one. In the post mortem
South argued that North's bidding
at all over the double showed a
hand so weak that game could not
be In the cards, whereas it really
was a cinch.
If North had passed the double,
East would have had to bid 2-Clubs
and, when this reached North he
should have doubled. Now, regard
less of whether the opponents tried
some other suit or not, they would
have been defeated more than the

THE TINE NOT TO BID

ORDINARILY if your side is vul-
sEable and the opponents are not.
wa wish your side to play the hand
lease there is a game in it for you,
.her than double and defeat the
Wporents at their contract. The
tine to vary this rule, however, Is
when you can beat the opponents
@ngact so badly that more points
an be obtained that way than by
lnere vulnerable game. So If the
first opponent doubles your part
ir's opening bid, your only proper
choice, with a hand generally strong
mother suits, is to redouble or pass
and await developments.

WOMAN,S REALM
Gl0ri6ng Yourself

NEA Service stan writer

Miss Bea Vain, pretty songstress, with a well-known dance orchestra, thinks that more fine lines in the face can be traced to aching, un- comfortable feet than to any other one source.
 "I think it's Q very silly, poor ly thought-out budget which allows for frequent facials and other elah- crate beauty treatments but keeps one from buying really good shoes,' says the little singer. "The ideal situation would be to have the fa- cials and other treatments and the good shoes, too. But if economy must be practiced, how about even- ing things up bit, having fewer facials and better shoesp'
 Miss Vain agrees with experts that feet which are perfectly ped- toured are likely to be comfort- able as well as attractive. She rec ommends @ pedicure every two weeks and a foot massage when- ever you are tired. ,.
 "When your feet are particular ly tired and aching, try this sim pie treatment:
 Simply soak feet in pan of very hot water to which Q pinch of salt has been added. Then soak them in very cold water for Q few minutes. The hot water will draw out the pain and the cold water will alleviate the slightly swollen condition caused by the hot. After ward, apply foot powder and put on fresh stockings"
 Naturally, your feet need e cer- tain amount of exercise. Wear heel- less slippers in your own room or walk about barefoot for fifteen or twenty minutes every evening.
 When you sit down to put on your stockings, stretch your feet out, holding knees stiff and point ing toes downward and as far away from your body as possible. Now turn toes backward toward you, thrusting heels outward as far as possible. Relax ankle joints and describe small circles with your feet. Repeat each step four or Ave times daily.

THAT PAINFUL SHOULDER

THAT PAINFUL SHOULDER
 Various names are given to lanie shoulder. subdeltoid bursitis, sub- acromial bursitis, calciflcation of the supraspinatus tendon, periar- thritis, sprain, strain and eke ye rheumatism. If pain is felt down the arm wiseacres are likely to as- sume 1t is neuritis.
 In perhaps one-third of the cases the origin of the trouble is a defi- nite injury of the shoulder. Tn an- other third the symptoms develop gradually, without apparent cause. In the remaining third patients re- port that the lameness began with some over use of the arm or some unaccustomed effort, such as washing windows" "throwing snowball," painting the ceiling" "spading the garden" polishing the car"
 The pain in or about the shoulder Is at first sharp and stabbing with certain limited movements, and even when the patient tries to rest at night it may be so painful that Q shot of morphine or something is pretty darn welcome relief, I'm tell- Ing the world. Pain continues more or less constantly for days. With the pain there is increasing stiff ness or limitation of motion in the shoulder, because movement in- duces pain.
 If not properly treated at this acute stage the trouble is likely to drift into Q chronic disability of the shoulder which cripples the victim more or less.
 Roentgenograms reveal calcium deposits in the bursa or in the sup- rispinatus tendon in about one- third of all cases after two or three weeks. The presence of such cal- cification seems to have no particu- lar relation to the symptoms or to the treatment. The calcified area may show In the X-ray picture long after the patient has recov- cred; or 1t may disappear long be- fore the shoulder disability has been cured
 Best treatment appears to be complete rest of the shoulder, not merely in splint or sling, but in apparatus to hold the arm abducted and externally rotated and with c moderate pull maintained on the arm. This must be continued for several days. In this stage cold ap- plications or ice bags on the shoul- der give more relief than heat,
 After perhaps four or five days of this, the arm must be passively moved by the doctor, and now is the time when diathermy treatment is of great value. Daily the dia- thermy should be applied, for per- haps half an hour, followed by mod crate manipulation of the arm by the doctor. This manipulation is bound to hurt Q bit, but better little discomfort now than Q stiff and useless shoulder for life. Day by day the extent of movement (ab- duction and rotation) Is increased, until in Q month or more the shoul- der is nearly as mobile as the well shoulder. Meanwhile the patient carries on regular exercises daily, as instructed.
 Tn neglected cases 1t may be ne- cessary to put the patient under anesthesia and carefully free ad- hesions before the physical therapy is instituted.

|Manteo Observes
Birthday Aug. Is
Of Virginia Dare

Manteo, August 9.-For the first
tife since Paul Green's epic drama
1.-The Lost Colony has been present.
ed at the Waterside Theatre here
as a part of the local historical cele-
brations, Virginia Dare's birthday
falls on a Friday, August 18, and ner
baptism on a Sunday, according to
historical records of this colony.
That is the order in which the
events happened 352 years ago and
the historian of the Paul Green dra-
these dates. August 18 has always
been a day of celebration to the tiny
population of Roanoke Island, but
this year it is expected to be the
largest because of this double-fea-
ture event
Back further than most islanders
can remember August 18 has been a
day of celebration at Fort Raleigh.
Virginia Dare-the first child of
English parentage born in the New
World-became a sort of historical
symbol to them of the events that
transpired on Roanoke Island long
before Jamestown and Plymouth
Rock.
Not until recently were a few
scenes from the lives of the first
colonists added to the celebration
This led directly into the writing of
''The Lost Colony by the famed
North Carolina dramatist for the
350th anniversary celebration two
years ago. A highlight of that event,
this epic drama has now become it's
main attraction.
Plans are now underway for a
three-day celebration for Virginia
Dare to begin Friday, August 18.
Special exercises will be held at Fort
Raleigh during the Sunday morning
services to commemorate her bap-
tism on that very day 352 years ago.

NATIONWIDE DRIVE

washington, August 9.-(AP)-A
couple OF Republicans just out OF
their thirties teamed up today for
the purpose of electing Senator H.

the next president of the United
States.
One was Bridges himself, just past
Al, and the other was Representa-

Wis, first term member Of the
house who turned 40 only last month.
Hawks, somewhat mystified that
Bridges had selected him as his
campaign manager, sat in his office
today and outlined the objectives
and methods of the campaign.
He indicated that accent on youth
would be the keynote. The senator
is preparing for whirlwind speak
ing campaign this fall, which un-
less plans go awry, will carry his
uncompromising anti new deal views
to audiences from the middlewest
to the Pacific coast and back. Bridges
is now in New Hampshire preparing
