the other cheek when boys were mean. She said, When they push you, push them back. When they hit you, hit them back"
 But she didn't know, so thought Tim, that there were other things that hurt your feelings worse than a push or a blow. A guy had to do something about it if some one called you coward or cry- baby. The worst of it was you knew you were both. You had to get even some way, and if you were afraid to fight, the only thing you could do was to throw the 'challenger's ball into traffic, or push him from be- hind when he was playing marbles.
 But after while mother final ly realized that Tirnmy was get- ting the name of "tattle tale" And so did Bills mother, and so did Henry's. They all knew now that the other boys did not want them around and ran when they came to play ball. But none of them knew that the others knew.
 Lucky Lecture
 But one day they all happened to go to lecture, And the man said, "T find that children are often too afraid of physical hurt. They are morally fearful but they are also 'mortally' fearful. In some way these two things tie up. I bought my boy a pair of boxing gloves and taught him that punch on the nose didn't hurt much if you made up your mind you had no feelings"
 And each mother bought boxing gloves for her boy. Before long Bill and Henry and Tim were at it, in fair combat. They learned to shake hands before and after. They stop- ped niggling and quarreling and learned to stand up face to face.
 There was no more talk of isis sies" and such things. Timmy is happy at last. He is one of the fellows now.

STATE

Priscilla Lane and Jeffrey Lynn, the gay romantic team of -Four Daughters returned to the screen at Warner Bros. State theater yes- terday and scored another romantic hit in the comedy "YeS, My Dar- Ing Daughter" which headlines tho outstanding double hit bill to be en- joyed until closing performanceG Monday evening.
 The film was adapted from tho play that kept New York in stitches for whole year, and like the play it kept audiences in hilarious mood with gales of laughter and guffaws constantly sweeping throughout the theater.
 Miss Lane and Lynn, the romantic leads, are strictly comedians in their new team venture and they succeed gloriously in the not too easy as- signment for making the audience both like them and laugh at them. It's no surprise, of course, to be told that such distinguished veter% ans of the art of comedy as Roland Young and Ian Hunter, and the Misses Robson, Bainter and Tobin give swell performances, and that the theater almost exploded with laughter during some of Young's funny sallies. The entire cast more than fulfill the promise Of joyous entertainment that is associated with their names.
 The plot of the stage play Is fol- lowed rather closely in the screen version, but points of emphasis have been frightened here and there to anticipate any possible objections by boards of censorship. As in the stage play hilarious complications ensue when the views on the subject of marriage, so often expounded by the mother of Miss Darling Daugh-> ter, turn around, so to speak, and bite her.
 Seen in the part of the daughter is Miss Lane and portraying the young man with whom she agrees to run away is Lynn.
 Fay Bainter is mama, and May Robson is the wise grandmother who guesses that the stodgy uter- ary agent played by Roland Young was once the romantic young Greenwich Village poet who was the boy friend of Priscillas ma. Ian Hunter is the fortnight banker who i. Priscilla'S father and believes in the good institution of nice wed- dings. And Miss Tobin is the thrice- married aunt who can still be shocked.
 It's the yes-go-see-it picture of the year, so why not plan to attend over the weekend. Remember per- formances Monday evening positive ly conclude its engagement.
 And on the same bill is the ac- ton thriller Secret Service of the Air' with Ronald Reagan in the starring role.

Should Ladies Smoke?

Should Ladies Smoke?
 Recent statements that more blue babies are born since women went in for smoking. This was ascribed to excessive smoking of cigarets by girls before and after marriage.
 (H. s. R) Answer-I know of no reliable sta- tistics to support that idea, but I do believe women who smoke are less capable of maternity and rearing children. The expectant mother or the nursing mother who smokes, of course, gives her baby @ dose of to- bacco, nicotine, carbon monoxide or whatever 1t is that the smoker gets.
 Excessive Yawning
 What causes excessive yawning? I am much troubled with this. I have valvular heart defect. Could that be the cause? c. W.)
 Answer-It indicates oxygen hun- ger. If there is any impairment of the circulation due to the valvular defect, that may account for it. Hypothyroidism or mild deficiency of thyroid functions is 8 common cause. Iodin ration would tend to correct hypothyroidism.
 Tbc. Stands for Tubercle
 School doctor and health officer says T. B. is not contagious
 (MrS. J. l.. H.) Answer-T. B. stands for tubercle bacilli. Tbc. stands for tubercle or tuberculosis. The school doctor and health officer is right. Tuberculosis is not contagious. Send stamped en- velope bearing your address for monograph. (

He won with the ace and re- turned the queen of spades, sure that he would need both his hearts as exits to avert later end play in diamonds. Declarer won and cleared trumps, and Fishbein was in with the jack. He now led the heart king and the contract was doomed.
 South could not prevent him from using his remaining heart as an exit, and thus had to concede him two diamonds and go down one. If Fishbein had led heart instead of the spade queen, declarer would have ruffed and led three rounds of trumps. East could then exit safely with his last heart, but declarer would ruff again and lead the ten of diamonds. thus end-playing East.

GOOD TEETH FOR LONG YOUTH

GUOD TEETH FON LUNG xOUIH
 On the principle that '.man is as old as his arteries" physicians estimate age by feeling the pulse and judging the degree of sclerosis (hardening) and loss of elasticity in the radial artery. Laymen gener- ally estimate persons age by ap- pearances-color, carriage, smooth ness or wrinkled appearance of skin, timbre (not loudness nor pitch) of voice, badness, resiliency of movements. I have always im- agined the feel of the skin told me as much or sometimes more than any of these appearances, but aside from dryness or harshness to touch, the characteristic which distin- guishes youth from age is difference in temperature-I cannot say.
 In the sixth, nearly if not quite the last, edition of the doctors bible Osler said T am more and more impressed with the part played by overeating in inducing arterior- sclerosis." Osler added that George Cheyne's advice was never more neded than by the present (1906) generation. Cheyne reduced from 48to 150 pounds when he was thirty and urged the man of fifty to begin cutting down on his diet if he wished to keep his sense and faculties in his later years.
 From my study, experience and observation I am more and more impressed with the part played by the teeth in preserving and pro- longing youth. believe every tooth lost by disease, accident or design cuts two or three years off from the individuals life expectation, unless its function is carried on by suit able denture.
 Every one knows how fast a per- son ages when many or all of the teeth are removed and not immedi- ately replaced by artificial teeth. Most people today are aware of the insidious undermining of health and youthful resiliency by unchecked pyorrhea.
 A common, unconsidered factor of pyorrhea is the loss or function al impairment of one or two teeth on one side of the month, back teeth that do not show if the month is kept carefully closed. This defect soon establishes the habit of mas ticating entirely on the other side of the mouth, and degeneration of tissues and development of pyor- rhea in the gum tissues of the un- used side of the mouth is almost inevitable. It is astonishing how many people still under middle age drift along more or less edentulous from health to premature senility or semi-invalidism, just because they do not appreciate the value ot good teeth or because they do not appreciate the value of good den- tistry.
 Unless there is some unusual com plication, the well-advised individual who is compelled to have one or more teeth extracted should in- variably have the bridge, plate or other denture which is to replace the teeth lost, fitted and begin wearing it immediately, certainly within a day or two following extraction Only crude antiquated practitioners unworthy of patronage, keep patrons waiting weeks and months for new | teeth.

Then, using your favorite dentrifice, work your brush around and around in little circles on back and front surfaces of each toath. Now brush downward on the upper teeth, up- ward on the lower ones. Finally, give the back of your tongue couple of cleansing strokes with the brush and gargle with your favorite mouth wash.
 About once month, SCOUT your teeth with ordinary baking soda or plain peroxide. Either will make the enamel winter and shin- fer z

The best defense in contract sometimes involves only the play to one trick. At other times it re- quires a long glance into the future to avoid an end play. Harry Fish bein of New York, who won the national mixed pairs championship with Mrs. Sam Rush at Washington year afo, and finished second in the national masters individual last April, took long look ahead to find the correct defense against South's four-spade contract.

Fishbein (East) thought he had @ trick in every suit, and feared that the partnership would be fixed with bad score if he failed to double. South won the first trick with the heart ace.
