SPLITTING HAIRS ABOUT
 CAPILLARIES

A professor of physiology and anatomy, formerly of Harvard, now of Q state university, wonders what my authority was for the assertion, made in this column, that capillaries are not tubes or vessels at all but just spaces between the cells through which the blood seeps slow ly while the interchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the body cells and the blood takes place.
 The professors gently chiding let ter arrived the day after Christmas. Was my face red when I read 1t? Seems as though there's always something-and how I envy Q teacher who can say this and that is 80 and his students must take 1t or leave school in disgracel Here I can't say anything any more un- less I am prepared to draw back the curtain behind me and reveal to the menacing audience Q verit- able cloud of formidable authorities, who, willy-nilly, support me.
 This time, though, r mstaying. 1n- deed I have peered through the mi- croscope many, many times at beau- tiful cross sections of various tis- sues in which I saw, as clearly as my instructor could desire, the capil- laries he wished me to see. I had to pass his examination, didn't I? But now that there is nothing to fear from telling the truth solemn- ly deny that ever saw Q capillary tube or vessel, and don't believe any one else ever saw one either.
 But after all, isn't all this bunk about capillaries just splitting hairs2 What is @ hypothetical capillary2 A hair-like tube or vessel whose wall, believe 1t or not q don't) one must imagine is composed of single layer of endotholial cells standing by themselves without any appreciable means of support or anything. If you must have capillaries you have to take them on faith.
 Any one with idle curiosity may consult Gray's Anatomy of the Hu- hAhAA tSOAy, WAAkSh 10 otAAA ukl du" thority" 78 years after the death of Henry Gray, and learn that these hypothetical capillary vessels the professor wishes to preserve average just 8 /25, booths of an inch in diam- eter; and that the red blood cor- puscles are just 2 and a half 25 booths of an inch in diameter, if anybody can conceive such micor- scopic dimensions. But take 1t as proved, and still 1t leaves Q mighty close squeak for the forty million red corpuscles in each drop of blood to get through. Yet the blood gets through, all right, in four to eight seconds flat, because as I believe, once the blood has reached the end of the ultimate arteriole 1t has only to seep through between the cells of the tissue, for there is actually no wall there to impede 1t.
 Shucks, maybe I'm as wrong as rain on Christmas about this but, after all, what does it matter? I'll believe there are capillary vessels

 Traits From Many Sources
 As 1t happens, girls are more likely to take after the fathers family Gin generaD, and boys after their maternal kin. Charac cteristics are seldom handed down from any one relation, all wrapped and tied in one package. Each child Is 0 lit- tie of this one, some of that one, and may reprSeent 0 dozen or Q hundred antecedetts.
 In Mrs. Smiths case, would not be too sure that Jack takes entirely after his fathers family. He may be almost a counterpart of her own great-great grandfather. His snort temper might be a hangover from drand-Aunt Hestor, who inherited her rages from her own salty Uncle Hank. His desire to run things may be inherited from Great Grandpa, but on the other hand his extreme sensitiveness may be his mothers very own.
 If I were such parent, with the problem of e misfit on my hands, I would not Do too quick to lay 1t to my spouse's door I would say to myself, Jack looks like his father but he is as much e hand-me-dow from my own ancestors as he is oi his daddy's. He is part Of me, too and if study myself I might fno the secret of his trouble"

CONTRACT BRIDGE
By VIM. E. MCKINNEY Secretary oE the American Bridge League

The strip play, which in e measure controls the defense that may be put up by the defenders, is one of the most interesting of the expert plays. When a player masters It's use he will fulfill many con- tracts that, without that mastery, will be defeated
 Souths bid of Ave clubs was e waste of energy, because he paid no attention to North's sign-oR of Ave hearts. He might just as well have bid six hearts over four hearts.
 South drew trumps, winning the second lead in dummy, and then ruffed dummy's last club. The chance of making the contract was not too bright and depended upon an even split in spades, with the same player holding the high spade

and king of diamonds.
 Clubs were stripped, 50 South now led three rounds of spades and west had to win the trick. He returned the diamond jack and the queen in dummy held the trick.
 Now the established spade in dummy gave South e discard for his losing diamond and the con- tract, which to say the least, was not an underbid one. :.
 The strip play is not . difficult one to execute although, even some very fair players, fail to recognize opportunities for gaining tricks through It's use.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Loss of Iron in Cooking

Loss of Iron in Cooking
 Please state whether raw food is preferable to cooked food for a per- son who is anemic. co. s. O.
 Answer-From one-fourth to one- half of the iron In varous foods is dissolved in the water during cook ing. If the cooking water is thrown away this part of the iron is lost, along with much of the vitamin B and vitamn c in the food. If the cooking water is used as broth, gravy, etc., cooked food is as good as raw for anemia.

good skiing shape for the remain

mittee have outlined projects for
the day to include: tramping the
entire cleared hill, setting sla-
lom that will tempt event the most
inept of ski riders, and construct
ing small jump.
Those who turn out will punch
the clock to begin their days toll
at II o'clock in the forenoon. A few
hours concentrated effort should
see the projects all accomplished
then will come the steak feed, to
be followed by general skiing, with
perhaps a hare and hounds race

coffee and buns will be furnished
by the club.
Transportation to the trail for
