not worry much about the other elements. It is now well known that adequate intake of vitamin D, vitamin c and vitamin A is neces- sary for optimal calcium metabol- ism-the best attainable degree of health, growth and functional ef1- ciency- and it seems fairly probable that these vitamins also control phosphorus and magnesium assimili- ation and utilization in the body, and perhaps the metabolism of other elements as well. Iron metabolism, however, seems to depend on the intake of some entitity of the vita min B complex. Perhaps these or other vitamins are concerned with the assimilation and utilization of other clements, but our knowledge IS not yet sufficient to warrant posi- tive conclusions. As sound prac- tical observation we find that if the calcium requirement of the body is insured 1t is generally safe to as- sume that there will be no shortage of the other essential elements-un- less the diet is restricted or dictat- ed by extreme theories or whims.
 Whether calcium (lime) in hard water is assimilated and utilized by the body do not know. In any case believe the amount of lime in drinking water is of no practi- cal health significance, so long as the water is satisfactory in taste.

 A. If the partner rebids his suit, it is permissible to raise him with two trumps headed by the Queen or better, or three small trumps. If he has opened with a bid of three or more, raise him with one trump, if the hand possesses all the other re- quirements for raise.

 A. Beer in itself is not fattening The dietitians, including McCollum, Simmons, Graves and Bogert, are agreed that over-eating and absence of exercise produces fat. Beer may be a factor, because it stimulates the appetite; but any zestful drink containing carbonic acid gas has the same effect.

Incendiarism Seen
In Burning Of
Papa| Palace
Church Of San Lorenzo
Wrecked; Renaissance
Architecture Damaged
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
ROME, Jan. 1.-Fire of mysterious
origin burned through the Palace
OF the Cancelleria and the adjacent
Church of San Lorenzo today.
wrecking two of the finest examples
of Renaissance architecture.
Police said they suspected incen-
diarism because it was the second
fire to break out in the former papal
chancery in five days. The first
fire was attributed to short circuit.
The second fire started last night
and ran out of control despite
streams of water from hoselines.
Thousands of Romans, out for New
Year Eve, gathered on the Corbo
Vittorio Emanuele, in the center of
the city, to watch.
Within a few hours the blaze
spread to the Church of San Lo-
renzo, which is virtually part Of
the palace.
Last Wednesdays fire was eXtin-
guished only after a two-hour fight.
Workmen had been restoring sec
tions Of the palace. especially in the
basement, where bas reliefs in mar
BILE taken from the Arch of Domi-
tian were found only a few months
ago
The palace was built between 1886
and 1896, but was not finished until
about 1920. 1t served as an office
from which were sent papal letters
and bulls and thus was one of the
extraterritorial buildings in Rome
belonging to the Vatican.
Vatican authorities said that soot-
blackened frescoes as we'll as the
edifices themselves apparently could
be restored.

Then he turned away - as if not pleased at all. (Which one of you gets my horse?" Sherry wanted to know. The man in the Stetson spoke, as if he hated to say anything: "Whichever one wins the roll, Miss Bond. Our owners are in there," he nodded toward the sec retary's office, then explained, as if realizing that she was new to racing:
 "When two or more claim nag, then the chalmers roll for the horse. High man with the dice wins"
 "Oh, see. Just - which stables do you-two-represent?"
 The man in the derby answered first: I'm foreman for the Bon- nie Lad stable; our trainer-he's in there rollin' now - generally he wins, he's lucky - this is his winnin' day"
 Sherry instinctively turned from him. The man in the Stetson faced her, then looked away: I'm triner but my-my owner-he decided to handle this himself"
 "Who is your owner?"
 The man wiped his lips with handkerchief, looked straight at her before he answered: "Mr. Paul Pharton, ma'am."
 Sherry stiffend, as if a bucket of chilly water had been thrown over her head. 'Poul - Paul Wharton?" She couldn't believe it. Are you sure?"
 The man nodded. "Yes, ma'am he's my owner"
 T mean - are you sure he claimed my horse?"
 "Yes, ma'am, I am"
 "But-but-who are you?" She was confused by it all.
 I'm Ed Duster, ma'am. MT. Wharton'S new trainer"
 "But-but-he's my-my-" she caught herself in time. She was about to blurt out, Paul Whar- ton my friend - 8 man who wants to marry mel" For an in- stant she was silent. She could not believe what she had heard, and she did not want to. Where's MT. Wharton now?" She managed to ask.
 "In the secretary's office, ma'am. For some reason" the trainer repeated, "Mr. Wharton decided to handle this hisself."
 T see. Thank you. I'll 90 there"
 "Yes, ma'am," was all he said, as she walked of.
 That's what . skirt gets, play ing this racin' game, the man in the derby commented; Well learn her lesson - not to run a high-class colt in claim1n' race"
 "Aw, shut that loose mouth" Big Ed Duster commanded.
 Say! You" Then the pimply- faced man got look at Ed Dus- ters eyes. He did shut his mouth, glared at the rangy Duster an instan; then walked of few paces.
 As Sherry approached the door way to the Secretary's office she heard 6 famiha-- voice ringing out loud and clear; the voice of Uncle Willie Bond. She had forgotten all about him. She crossed the thres- hold.
 Running along the end of the little room was a counter, and behind the counterd stood tall and totally-bald man with large, black-rimmed glasses perched on the end of 8 long nose. Her was perring over the glasses at three men who exposrulated in front of him.
 A gangling, unshaven man in impressed clotheS-to the right of Sherry; the suave and immacu- ate Paul Wharton at the left; and between them the massive figure of Willie Bond. All three had their backs to her. Uncle Willie was pounding on the coun- ter with a ham-like fist: T tell you I've a right to speak I'm William Bond - business agent for the Lone Tree stable jusa back from Europe"
