The expert realizes that it is dif- ficult sometimes for the defense to read the declarer,s holding, and as result, he can occasionally swindle his opponents out of a trick. Today's hand was played in the world championship masters pair event at Asbury Park, N. J., last year, and gave the fans a real thrill.
 South, seeing no advantage in holding of until the third or fourth round of hearts. won the second heart lead with the ace and cashed his ace and king of diamonds. The drop of the jack by West warned him that the suit would not break.
 He led the six of clubs to dun- my's ace, but could not cash the king. or he would set tip the club suit for the opponents. He had to take chance that the opponents would later lead club.
 The jack of spades was led from dummy. East refused to cover and West won with the ace. West cashed his jack and nine of hearts, then had the choice of Q spade or e club to set up the spades. West decided against that suit and led c club.

NEA Serytcc SS8H WAhseS Keeping skin fresh, eyes clear hair soft and shining, and figure trim, as the birthdays pile up, t | largely a matter of sticking to a few set routines.
 Furthermore, there's no reason for not getting little fun out of these routines. The woman who takes her looks too seriously, wor- ries about each inevitable line and every graying hair until an "1'm- determined determined to = be- young" look appears around her mouth-this woman is making aS big 8 mistake as one who never thinks at all about he appearance.
 The sensible procedure is to de- eide how much time you can rea- sonably devote each day to keeping your looks in order and warding of premature signs of age. Then, with rare exceptions, to spend that much time on yourself.
 Generally speaking, half an hour before dinner or just before going to bed should be ample for bathing, hair brushing, face and neck cream ing. Five minutes of exercises, 8 shower or quick dip in the tub, care- full application of makeup, and dressing should consume no more than half an hour in the morning. ONLY TEN
 HOURS A WEEK
 Then, once a week, two hours in beauty shop should be allowed. You may need an extra hour 8 week at home for pedicure; or first aid to hemlines and loose snaps and buttons; or hair removal and a change of nail polish; or facial. All in all, according to this schedule, only ten hours a week are necessary Surely, this is not too much to allow for everything, including bathing and exercises.
 If you are a slow dresser, learn to put your clothes on quickly but just as neatly, thereby allowing yourself time for a few limbering and stretching exercises. This may be difficult at first. But if you are determined to be well groomed and good looking through the years in spite of lack of much free time, you'll have to learn to make every second of the half-hour periods count.

In The Local Theaters
STATE

Performances this evening at the air conditioned Warner Bros. State theater conclude the engagements of "Untamed", filmed in technicolor with Ray Midland. Patricia Morrison and Akim Tamiroff in the leading roles: also Out West With The Peppers" with Edith Fellows. Hailed as the greatest adventure romance of all time, Osa Johnson's T Married Adventure" comes to the State tomorrow afternoon as the headliner of the double smash bill.
 A quarter century of thrills, dra- ma and excitement are said to be crowded into the 90 minutes of pure screen entertainment to be found in this amazing picture. Double ex- citing because its thrills are authen- tic. this sensational production of the great Book-of-the-Month Club selection teens with wild animal ac- tion, scenic beauties never glimpsed before, struggles to the death be- tween beasts of prey, and the weird life, customs and rites of savages, head-hunters, pygmies and canni- bals.
 The picture presents more than 27 years of adventure and sensa- tional, painstaking effort in the jun- gle fastnesses of the world.
 The Martin JohnSons, during their ceaseless safaris into unexpored re- gions of the Dark Continent, rec orded forever the weirdness, the mystery and the beauty of Africa with motion picture cameras.
 An out-of-the ordinary picture, and one that is thoroughly enter taining, q Married Adventure" is a thrilling cavalcade of the Dark Con- tinent and an even more thrilling record of the amazing life of an amazing woman.
 Military Academy" with Tommy Kelly and Bobby Jordan in the fea- tured roles will be the second big hit.
 By all means plan to see this great show at the State starting tomor- row; and remember, the States mammoth air conditioning plant is in operation all summer purifying the humid, dust-laden city air, and reducing the temperature to just the desired degree for absolute comfort and healthful stimulation.

ALL SET TO MUSCLE IN

In an article published sometime ago. Whats the Matter with Our Daily Bread?" called attention to the scheme of the American Medi- cal association to doctor our daily bread. I pointed out that if the scheme to add to white bread dash of synthetic thiamin (vitamin B1 is put into effect the fake "restora- tion" of bread is going to cost the ultimate consumer real money-for somebody has to pay for the "scien- tific control" of the doctoring of bread. You may get an idea of the boost the price of bread is likely to show when the restoration" begins by comparing the premium prices charged for certain other staple foods to which dashes of this or that vitamin have been added with the price of the same foods as they oc- cur in nature.
 That the proposed plan to ''re- store" bread by adding to refined white flour an arbitrary amount of vitamin B1 or perhaps fractions of this and that component which has been removed in the milling and re- fining of the wheat, is not what it purports to be-"restoration" of white flour to the nutritional level of whole wheat hour-is obvious to any one who has even an elemen- tary knowledge of human nutrition. A proprietary product purporting to contain vitamin B1 and vitamin G, along with 8 dash of iron and calcium, has now been introduced, under the approval of the A. M. A. Council on Foods, for the country's bakers to add to white bread to bring its level up to that of whole wheat bread in these particular factors. In the announcement the increased manufacturing costs" of the product is mentioned-so the dumb lait may as well get ready to pay and pay and pay for restored" bread.
 Instead of going to all that trou- ble and expense, the layman with any sense at all will lay in a bushel or few pounds of Plain Wheat, the grain as it is grown by the farmer-an dtry his hand at pre- pairing various palatable dishes with it. Just to get you started, I have a monograph Wheat to Eat," which gives instructions and recipes for the daily use of wheat. For copy send 8 stamped envelope bearing your address-no clipping will suf- fice-ask for the monograph or folder by its name.
 The original wheat, with nothing removed in grinding, contains not only thiamin (vitamin B1) and vita min c (ribofiavin) but also all of the other entities of the vitamin B complex. It contains, too, all of the vitamin E naturally present in the oil of the germ portion of the wheat kernel-the germ is removed and discarded in the manufacture of white flour.
