Blow All Ballast!
By Nat A. BarroWS. Net0 York
Dodd, Mead.

ByNdt A. BarroUS. NetD York:
Dodd, Mead.
One of the most dramatic stories
of heroism, seamanship and skill
in maritime history is that of the
rescue and salvage work necessitated
by the sinking last year off Ports
mouth, N. H., of the United States
submarine Squalus.
This book is a flrSt-hand story
of the rescue and salvage operations
by a newspaperman who, for more
than four months, covered the
events with which he deals. 1t Is,
perhaps, the most thorough account
of these operations ever published,
and it has the move and drive of
a living history. There is a fore
word by Rear Admiral c. W. Cole,
commandant of the Portsmouth
Navy Yard and director of the
rescue operations. J. S. E.
We Called Them Indians
By Flora Warren Seymour.
Nep York: D. Appleton-Cen-
tury.
A native Washingtonian-a grad
uate of both George Washington
University and Washington College
of Law-here presents an interest
ing and comprehensive study of the
first Americans.
1t is evident that extensive re-
search prepared the way for Miss
Seymour's story of the Indians, for
she succeeds in giving the reader an
unusually vivid picture of their
manner of living both before and
after the arrival of the white man.
She points out that the white men
were regarded as medicine mem
men who possessed mysterious pow
ers to perform magic.
AS fighters, the Indians had an
unhappy knack for picking losing
s1des-fghting with the French
against the English and with the
English against the Colonists, for
example.
Hiawatha, Pontiac, Joseph Brant,
Tecumseh and Black Hawk are a
few of the greater Indian leaders
presented in brief personal sketches.
Miss Seymour describes the educa-
ton of the Indians to the point
where, at last, they mingle with the
white men, having become citizens
and land owners.

BY VIM. E. MCKINNEY America's Card Authority

During our Stopover at Columbus, O., had the pleasure of meeting Mrs. Mary Jo Miller. who writes a Sunday bridge column for the Co., lumbus Citizen, the newspaper which carries my daily column. The first question she asked me, right in front of Mrs. McKenney, was, "Do men or women play bet ter bridge?"
 Of course, I had to refuse to answer.
 Another question she asked was, "Are only the difficult hands con- sidered interesting?"
 "Most certainly not" told her. For example, here is hand had found very interesting in the pre- vious nights play, and yet 1t is not difficult.

 Her embarrassed dinner date wishes that she knew it's correct to wait for the waiter to pick up dropped silver. Or, if the fork had best be picked up at once, surely she should know that's her escorts duty-not hers.
 It takes so little time to learn these etiquette points, but how ims portant they are to social poise. The girl posted on etiquette doesn't gig gle nervcusly when her partner pulls put her chair for her at din- ner party. She expects such little attentions.
 Nor does she have to hesitate awkwardly during the meal-won- dering if she should start eating when served, if she should take olives with fork. She starts eating in a leisurely way upon being served. She knows it's correct to take olives with her fingers. celery and radishes. too.

For the beneflt of readers who do not brock intrusion into their business of their leisure by even the most intriguing crossword puzzles, crinose means hairy.
 Of course the legs of man or woman are normally covered with hair. But the hairs on the legs of most women are SO fine that they are apparent only when closely scrutinized:
 That's where the trouble begins for 6 good many girls who become lachrymose about their crinose legs. They discover by critical inspection the practically unnoticeable cover ing of down or fine hair over the outer surfaces of thighs and legs and begin using depilatories, safety razor or other means to remove the hair, which, if they had enough sense to let alone would never be noticed by any one else.
 Here arises the question whether shaving by mechanical or chemical means or cutting or clipping or epilating (plucking) normal growth of hair or beard or superfiuous hair on areas where it is not wanted, stimulates growth of the hair and so causes more rapid growth or growth of heavier hair. The answer to this question is a matter of opinion. There seems to be little or no actual evidence that removal of hair at intervals causes faster or heavier growth. On the contrary there Is some evidence that per- sistef1t removal of hair by chemical solution tdepliatory), by plucking or by punlice stone eventually makes the hairs become softer and less apparent.
 American Indian men regularly plucked heavy hairs from their beard and after years of such pluck ing the hairs no longer grew to a noticeable degree. Some girls who have plucked their eyebrows for several years find that the hairs gradually become softer and not 50 dark in color.
 Two methods of destroying (not mefely removing) hairs, namely X-ray and electrolysis, are entirely out of the question so far as crinose legs are concerned = impracticable except for destroying localized tufts of coarse hairs in a small area of skin, such as a hairy mole.
 If woman must choose between wearing stockings of darker hue than the ladies of the chorus are wearing, if any, this season or re- sorting to mechanical or chemical shave. she will do as she likes re- gardless of any advice offered by an old geezer who looks at legs even if they're not perfect. Wheth- Ter removal of the fine, practically invisible or only slightly apparent hair from the skin of the outer sur- face of leg or thigh actually stim- ulates growth of heavier, more ob- vious hairs, such an effect is ap- parent if not real, and once the shaving is begun the woman finds she must add the task to her toilet | in order to be comfortable in her own mind.

 Many 8 bright young woman spends ten or fifteen years waiting on a bad-tempered man, with few CT brains than she has, because it never occurs to her that she might strike out and be her own boss. MEN USUALLY
 PLAN AHEAD
 Most business and professional men look forward to the day when they can be their own bosses, and lay the plans for their future with that goal in mind. Of course not all them reach it--in a country made up largely of big businesses but far more men than women finally get to be their own bosses. Women just seem to lack the spirit of independence, or the courage to stand or fall by their own decisions.

clubs in the East hand to get en- try with the king. He thought it morely likely that East held the club ace, since West apparently held the diamond ace, so he led low club from dummy. His queen was killed by the ace and club re- turn knocked out his king. Thus he lost two clubs and a diamond.
 What was needed here was . little foresight. The whole situa- ton at the end could be foreseen. Declarer should have tackled the diamonds before taking out trun1ps, using trump entries if necessary to lead twice toward dummy. Thus he would have es- tablished second diamond trick for club discard.
