 ON BRIDGE
BY VIM. E. MCKINNEY Americas Card Authority

After the Pennsylvania State Tournament at Pittsburgh I drove back to New York and the follow ing weekend took in the tournament at Warren, Pa. This little city, in the northeast corner of Pennsyl- vania, is a hotbed of bridge. It is the home of Mrs. Albert Rockwell, nationally known for her activity in connection with the women's na- tional committee of the American Contract Bridge league.
 The Warren tournament attracts fine players from Pittsburgh, Erie, Cleveland, Buffalo and New York. Two new stars were un- covered at the tournament this year, Mrs. Ralph Gordon and Sam Mccarthy of Buffalo.
 They won two of the major events the open pair champion ship on Saturday; and on Sunday, paired with MT. and Mrs. H. Van Praag of Pittsburgh, they won the team of-four title. I found them both very fine players and espe- cially good on defense. Here is one of the hands played in the tourna- ment.
 Mrs. Gordon( South) won the opening lead with the ace of spades. The common practice would be to return a spade, but

can lose two unlovely pounds a week. Soon you slip blithely into a light girdle, get your dresses in the misses section.
 You gain because you choose foods giving more calories than you use. Just one breakfast dish, 3 griddle cakes well buttered, adds up to 400 calories.
 ! Cut to 1900 calories a day for a while, fewer than you need, and you melt the fat away. No starving. Follow your calory chart, choose for breakfast an egg. strips of bacon, 2 slices of melba toast. Satisfying and only ITO calories.
 You still have calory "leeway" for nourishing lamb chops GOO calories each), for desserts such as apple sauce cake (100). But avoid pork chops (20O), chocolate pudding (400). r Be youthfully slim again! Our 32-page booklet gives A low-calory menus. Has calory chart, 3-day liquid diet to start reducing. In- cludes menus for gaining.

 to help in any way we can. but we don't yet know what to do.
 Well, there is one thing that wo- men can do today without waiting to be told. It sounds small, but 1t isn't. It is a great thing.
 We can face the world and our families each day with cheerfulness with gaiety, with zest for living and enjoyment of each day as it comes.
 At this moment we are comfort able and safe. Our families are comfortable and safe. This time is ours to enjoy, and to help our fam lilies to enjoy.
 HAVE A SMILE FOR TODAY
 Let's look at today-and not to. morroW-and smile and be cheerful
 Let's give what money and effort we can to help the poor victims o1 war abroad. And let's be equally good to our own families by giving them the presence of cheerfu woman in the house-a woman wht still has her gaiety and her love O everyday living.
 That is the only way we can real. ly show our appreciation for wha we have. We must accept it gra' ciously and smilingly and happily instead Of refusing to enjoy peace and security today because tomor. row there may be war and chaos.

The Doctor Looks At Legs
 Since the Doctor began Looking at Literature, if I recollect, twenty years ago, his prosperity has been capitalized with more or less suc- cess in selling the works. But pray do not be uneasy. I am not going to publish book about legs. Such work, even though profusely H. lustrated, could not compete with the news pictures, society page and the ads.
 Nevertheless I intend to look at legs in this column from time to time. Some legs merit looking at; some want it; here we shall look at legs that need it.
 Varicose legs; tobacco legs; piano legs; bandy legs; milk legs diabetic legs arterioSclerotic legs. If readers think of any other legs the doctor should look at, I'll strive to please. But please do not try to distract my attention from the game. As OF Bill Turner observed when he saw my eye wander from the bowling green to the nearby tennis court where there was considerable glamor, "A woman is as old as she looks, man is old if he doesn't.' Oh, yes, that reminds me of other type of legs we had better consider while we're on the subject, namely, crinose, squari- ous and goose-pimple or nutmeg grater legs. Crinose is medicalese for hairy squamous for scaly; the medi- caleSe for goose -pimpleS or nutmeg grater skin is plrynoderma meaning literally toad skin." mention the last three kinds of legs here not to air my knowledge of legs nor to embarrass those who have such legs but only because I intend to Sug- gest what believe and hope may greatly improve or entirely correct the trouble in many such cases.
 By the way, that's a feature of this column which some critics overlook. Unless I have something to suggest which may be of prac- tical help I prefer to sidestep the subject altogether. That |, is why a number of subjects of great i'm portance to happiness and health are rarely or never discussed here -but-nevertheless I want every reader to remember always that any problem submitted to me in a letter is as sacredly confidential as though the correspondent were a patient in my consulting room, and I deem it matter of conscience to give every such correspondent the information, instruction or advice think he or she should have in the circumstances.
 Cinnamon Eating Is it harmful to eat great quan- tity of cinnamon? I eat a ten cent can every two weeks. Just can't seem to go without it. (Mrs. T. J.)
 Answer-Yes, like pepper and other condiments it is irritating to stomach and intestine when taken in excess.
 Lemon Juice
 Is the juice of half a lemon and a teaspoonful of salt, taken in a glass of hot water each morning be- fore breakfast, harmful and does it reduce ones weight? (M. H.)
 Answer-the juice of lemon in any quantity you like is rather health full, but I do not advise taking so much salt. Lemon juice of course

Active girls and boys need plenty of rough m tumble clothes! This three-piece Claire Tilden outfit, Pat tern 261, takes one =. two =. three to make, with the Sew Chart for guidance. Each piece is designed in the minimum of pattern parts for easy sewing and easy laundering too, for seams are apt to hold the dampnesS longest. The overalls give nice protection against drafts when child plays on the floor, and they also prevent knees from becoming scratched. Each side-front forms one-piece plus back-buttoning strap. Sew one patch pocket to the fore; another to the aft. Now make the blouse with its long or short sleeves. If you like, you might use the same pattern in heavier fabric for a jacket, adding pockets. And last of all, there's helmet that but tons or ties firmly beneath small chin. It's simple to make, keeps those ears warm, and may be car- ried rolled up in pocket. Denim or washable corduroy are practical fab ric suggestions.
 Pattern 261 is cut in children's sizes, 2, 4, and 8. Size 6, boys overalls and helmet, requires l 1-8 yards inch fabric; girls jacket and helmet, yard 54 inch fabric; overalls, 3 1-2 yards contrast.
 Send FIFTEEN CENTS (15c) 1n coins for this pattern. WRITE CLEARLY SIZE, NAME, AD- DRESS AND STYLE NUMBER.

Mrs. Gordon decided to try to kill that string of diamonds in dummy. Making the play known as the Merrimac Coup, she led her king of hearts.
 When the trick was won in dummy with the ace and the king om diamonds led, Mrs. Gordon played the Seven-spot but won the second diamond trick. As West had no more diamonds the dummy was dead and there were only eight tricks for the declarer.

Glouwing Yourself
By Alicia Hart

'Let your first fall dress be black" | isn't the best available fashion ad- vice for the darkly suntanned beau- ty.
 If she firmly intends to keep right on taking sun baths as long as the sunshine remains warm, and sum- mery, and SO retain her coat of tan as long as possible, she'll probably find brown, gray, olive green or a warm yellow a happier choice. Black just isn't as becoming to suntanned arms and throats as it is to satiny whites ones. It should fashion the second, rather than the first, fall dress.
 Brown ought to be flattering with any shade of tan worth fighting to keep. With it, an orange or yellow scarf and lipstick and nail polish that are yellow-red rather than blue-red would be chic. The new stuffed olive" combina- tion-olive green with pimento red lis perfect for the beige-skinned.
 Beige and red, the color combina- tion darling of the hour, is made to order for the suntanned. If you are very young, try 8 beige corduroy dress or suit about the color of your skin, with a red scarf or red hat.
 If you're not so young, consider one of the new, rough-surfaced silks or sheer wools in soft beige and brighten 1t with dash of scar let.
 Naturally, any chic woman sticks to her dark, summer shade of pow der until her skin becomes light again. It's mistake, simply because you want your first fall dress to be black, to start putting light powder over dark skin in the hope that the suntan won't be noticed. Powder al- ways should match exactly the shade of the skin on which it is ap- piled.

may be washed with soap and
water or a mild abrasive when
the range is cold. The metal
may be polished with whiting or
metal polish. Food spilled on
electric cooking units is burned
off and any particles left in
the grooves can be brushed out.
Electric refrigerators require
little attention, although the
food compartment needs clean
ing at regular intervals.
Housewives can keep the
equipment in good repair by
learning to make minor repairs
and adjustments. Tools that
will be found practical for such
jobs are a screw driver, wrench,
hammer, pliers, friction tape,
rubber tape, scissors, and a SOL
dering outfit. If a special box
or drawer is provided so that
tools will be readily accessible,
the equipment stands a better
chance of being repaired when
needed, and will give many more
years of service.

Home Appliances
Need Attention,
Says Specialist

Efficient homemaking depends
on the efficiency of the equip
ment used. Since appliances will
not give the best service unless
they are in good working order,
Thelma Beall, home management
specialist, Ohio State university,
advises women to operate appll-
ances as instructed, keep them
clean, and oil as required and to
watch electric cords and repair
or replace them when worn.
The real cause for the failure
of many electric appliances lies
in the cord, appliance plug, or
outlet plug. In handling the ap-
pliance cord, always grasp it by
the plug and not by the cord it
self. Rough handling is hard on
the fine wires inside the cord
and will eventually cause them
to break and cut through the
protective covering.
Miss Bell says electric wash
ers give the best service when
not overloaded with either
clothes or water. In starting
the machine, first start the mot
or and then throw the machine
into gear. In stopping, throw
the machine out of gear before
turning off the water. Keep the
washer in a dry, clean place.
Best results with an electric
iron come from keeping it's sole
or bottom surface clean and be-
ing careful not to scratch it. If
the iron has a temperature reg
ulator, current and time are saw
ed by setting it at the proper
point for the fabric to be ironed.
The vacuum cleaner is one of
the most neglected pieces of
equipment. Housewives too Of
ten pick up bits of glass, pins,
or metal objects with the sweep
er, which may clip the fan
blades or make holes in the dust
bag. The university specialist
reminds women that the dust
bag is not storage place for
dirt. The bag should be cleaned
regularly but never washed, as
washing removes the filler"
which helps to make the bag
dustproof.
