From breakfast toast to a midnight snack, inertia Bread has con-

The annual Metropolitan Cham pionships in New York always turn out stiff competition. I believe it is almost as difficult to win a title at the Metropolitan as at any of the national tournaments. Mrs. Fred Horn of New York and Mrs. Gussie Planco of Great Neck, L. l.. were the winners of the women's pair championship at the recent Metro politan.
 Sometimes a good woman player is said to play mans game" I don't know that there is such thing as mans style of game, un- less women as a general rule may be a little timid in their bidding and sometimes shy of playing no trumps.
 Most good women players, how ever, have no weakness that would call for Q differentiation of this kind. Certainly, Mrs. Horn was anything but tlmid when she jumped to six diamonds on today's hand.
 She made the contract by winning the opening lead with the ace Of clubs. caslling the acc Of diamonds and returning Q spade, which West won with the ace. West returned D club which Mrs. Horn rufIed with Aze Ave of djamotsdf

PELVIC STRAIN

.
 The sacrum or base on which the weight of the spinal column and shoulders, arms and head is carried, is wedge shaped with it's wide base upward. It is joined on either side to the wings of the innominate or hip bones, thus entering into forma- ton of the pelvic girdle.
 Formerly we did not consider the junction of sacrum and hip bone 8 true joint-we thought it was a rigid union which permitted no move ment. But first the osteopaths and then Joel Goldthwait showed the sacro-iliac junction not only permits some movement, particularly in women, but is subject to all of the disabilities of true joints, such as strain, sprain, partial dislocation (subluxation), complete dislocation, inflammation (arthritis).
 Strain or sprain of the sacroiliac junction or joint if you will occurs usually when the individual leans over and lifts, pulls or pushes some thing heavy. Sudden "crick" in the back that holds the victim in the cramped position is the typical manifestation of the subluxation. Sometimes, however, the pain is felt down one leg, and indeed has been mistaken for sciatica in many in- stances.
 The pain of sacro-iliac strain or Sprain is worse at night, when re- cumbency brings greater tension on the sacro-iliac fragments, but may be relieved more or less by change of position, especially by lying prone, that is, on the belly, if the sufferer can get into that position or can be turned over by attendant.
 The pain and disability of sacro- lilac strain is more marked in wo- men at the menstrual periods, be- cause the functions are more re- faxed at that time. It is more like ly to occur during pregnancy for the same reason. A precaution which every one should bear in mind, women particularly, is that lifting should be done rather with the legs and thighs, while the back is held rigid and erect. That is, don't bend over to lift, but squat down.
 Prolonged sitting, especially in Slouched or slumped posture, makes the pain worse. Volumes have been written about chairs or other seats and posture. We're talking about sacro-iliac strain now. Here suffice to say that a common fault is lack

PATTERN 985
SLIM FLATTERY IN A PANELLED DRESS

SlenderneSS is all a matter Of how you appear to your public not how much you weigh or what size dress you wear. And Pat tern 985 is adroitly designed by Claire Tilden to give a slim illusion to your figure. Every detail is carefully planned for flattery; yet the whole style is magicaly quick and simple for home dressmaking That long, tapering front panel makes you seem inches taller, slim mer. The softness through the bodice is held nicely in place by shoulder darts. Take special note of the cleverly treated waist-seaming. It's slightly lower than usual at each side-front, and made on a slant for a becoming, longer-waisted effect. In back it forms a point for slenderizing lines. There's a back skirt seam too, that allows extra walking and sitting ease. The squared neckline looks well left simple and collarless, but if you wish you might add a matching or contrasting collar. The short sleeves may be either smoothly tucked or left straight. Why not sew on a ric-rac or ruffle edging to give a final decorative touch to this use full, attractive frock?
 Pattern 985 is cut in Women's sizes 36, 38, 40, 42, A, 46, 48 and 50. Size 36 requires As yards 35 inch fabric.

Did you guess you could have a lovely little glass garden as easily as this?
 Yes, by such simple tricks as putting fish bowl over a bulb bowl you can make a snug little greenhouse in which beautiful plants and flowers will thrive. Or you may use any covered clear glass dish such as a candy jar.
 In the terrarium pictured, flow ering strawberry geranium hugs a messy rock; coleus with foliage of purple and green makes brilliant splash of color; the long-leaved pandanus dips gracefully. And there are many other plant combinations as enchanting.
 To prepare terrarium for plant ing, just put in about an inch of pebbles or other drainage material, then add soil You can start with seeds, cuttings or tiny rooted plants. Moisten soil well before planting, put cover on immediately after wards and little watering is needed.
 When you see how your first ter rarium hourishes, you'll want to venture, to grow rare flowers, gar- denias, even orchids.
 You can, easily, following the directions given in our 32-page booklet. Tells how to plant and care for dish gardens and terrar- iums of all kinds, including bottle and handicapped types. Has direc- tions for a kitchen-window herb garden.

WE, THE WOMEN Gifts "FOr The House" Are NOT Gifts For Mama

Heavens knows, the house needs presents from the family.
 But why should presents for the house have Mama's name on them?
 The reason women haven't re- belled before is that they have been afraid if they didn't take the electric ice box as a Christmas gift they wouldn't get 1t at all.
 But if the family can afford an ice box, they can certainly call it family present and find some thing, no matter how inexpensive just so 1t is a bit foolish = for Mama.
 Also, women are a bit hesitant about confessing that they would rather have personal luxuries than equipment for the house. They think it might look as though they weren't as interested in their homes as other women.
 Well, it's about time they quit pretending and came right out and good . natured
 thing for themselvc<.
 If they don't - this will be an- other year when they'll get gyp- ped on Christmas.

 This is a very good time for mother to begin gently to guide the rest of the family toward real Christ mas spirit. By so doing, she can make the holiday mean more to every member of the household and in addition, save much wear and tear, with inevitable loss of poise and good looks, on herself.
 For instance, there's no reason under the sun why Johnny and Susie, aged 10 and 12, cannot ad- dress Christmas cards to their own friends, wrap presents and make the decorations for the room in which they are going to give a party some time during the holidays. They should be able to figure out ways to earn 8 few cents doing odd jobs around the neighborhood without heckling mother with every detail or, worse yet, forcing her to bake things for them to sell.
 Approached good humoredly and when he is in 8 good humor himself, no doubt father could be persuaded to address the cards this year and to get ready for rpail- ing the packages mother has al- ready decorated with tissue paper and ribbons with tissue paper and ribbons. And wouldn't he have more real Christmas spirit if he at least helped to decide what presents are to go to his own mother and rela- tiveS?
 SHARE THE WORK
 WITH MOTHER
 Christmas, after all, isn't celebrated exclusively for women. Why should the woman in the home attend to every preparation, take full respon- sibility for the day itself and then write the thank-you notes for the entire family afterward? And, as result, feel and look pretty worn out long before New Years eve Couldn't the rest of the family share the responsibility and let her share more of the fun?
 It may sound superficial, but wouldn't 1t be nice if mother really could take time to have her hair and nails done leisurely the days before Christmas this year?

of suitable support to the hollow of the back in sitting or reclining.
 If there is an actual displacement, subluxation or partial dislocation replacement may be effected by placing the patient prone (face downward) with chest and shoulders on one padded table, thighs and legs on another, allowing body to hang or perhaps moderately press ing down on the hollow of back. Sometimes this maneuver brings sudden relief by pulling the dis placed sacrum forward on the hip bone. While the patient is still in this position number of strips of adhesive plaster are applied over- tapping across the lower back and two thirds of the way around the hips. Or a wide firm belt may be applied and worn for support, well below the normal belt line.
