Americas Card Authority

Before taking tip the responses to the one-bid, I want to call your attention again to the fact that the bidding requirements are based on the eight high cards, the four aces and four kings. It is assumed that when the partnership holds six of the eight high cards, they probably have Q game. When this is learned, there is no need to crowd the bid. ding. Big hands do not have to bs rushed, and good deal of informa- ton can Dc passed back and forth
 The ". "" system uses Q phrase termed When you are in the Sys. tenn" When you make an original bid showing Q definite number of high cards and the response alsd shows definite number of high cards, you are now fin the system
 Over an original bid of one spade, heart or diamond, Q suit re- sponse does not call for continued bidding. If you want your partner to continue bidding, you must res spond with either one, two or three no trump.
 A response og one no trump shows that the combined hands have six high cards: two no trump seven high cards; tree no trump an of the high cards. Therefore, q response of one no trump over one spade would indicate that you held three high cards, while for c bid of one no trump over Q bid Og one club, you would need only two high cards.
 If your partner opens with ca original one no trump and yoS have less than two high cards ana want him to continue bidding, you must make 6 response of two clubs or three of any other suit. A bid of two of any suit except clubs is made:
 (a) Denying two high cards.
 (b) Unless followed by three clubss to give an opportunity ta get to game, probably in no trump. but definitely avoiding Q slam.
 With two or more high cards, you must raise your partners opening no trump bid. A raise to two shows two high cards. 4 raise to three shows three in other words, yov and your partner hold all eight high cards. and slam is just q Questi0R of having enough filters.
 Suppose that your partner haa opened one no trump. With hand No. l, bid two hearts. With hand No. 2, bid three spades, then four hearts. With hand No. 3, bid two no trump. With hand No. {, bid two clubs.

 @neakinR co compliments, which sha other day ! advised giving when you notice something praisewcrthy ii another, can you take one grace- fully, tool
 It;s just as important
 Charm, after ell, is a totality ol manners As well as mannerisnla oi nois6 as wen as makeup and clothes and tho face and figure you were born Co. There's nothing 50 r1inous to charm as constant self-d0preca- ton. The woman who always says 'sWhy, can't IMAGINE why you think so," when someone says her new hat looks nice, or how young she seems today, proclaims Instant ly her lack of pcise.
 If you don't know how to accept complyiments, it's high time you learned. You don't want to seem over-enthusiastic-eSor that also Is deprecatlng yourself: it simply says you're not accustomed to being ap- proved Ot-but you do want to make the coEnpllment-payer feel good in return.
 BLUsHIN0 IS STILL CHARMING
 And don't let me frighten youl There Is still Q certain charm in the blush, even in the awkward pause if 1t Is small enough. Surely It's positively captivating when coEn- pared to the glib response with which too many women try to cover shy- ness. So don't 60 making these words Into q rule-of- thumb that will can- eel out the real YOU.
 But if you know that you tend to question compliments, then think over the quality, and do little prac- ticing in private. Practice with Q member of your family or some good friend who won't think it's silly of you to want to correct drawback. Let her tell you how well you look over and over, til you can say, Thanks 90 must, I'm glad you think so"-with honest pleasure.
 Or-use your mirror. It Is wonder tIll for two-way conversations, es. pecially for such talks between the woman who can't take . compliment and herself. For the fact is, usually it's herself who gives this type of woman most trouble. When she learns to face her mirror with com. posture, she's ready to met the Duchess.

THE BVC SHOTS SHOULD
 MAKE UR THEIR MINDS

ABOUT REMUNERATION | Three of the most skiliful publl- city hounds in or of the medical profession got together recently and gave out, through the avenues they know SO well, 0 blast of bombastic denunciation of the ''vitanain craze" i" The only half-way substantial basis for the characteristic outhurst was the eQuivocal statement that rec ords of three large hospitals for several years showed that nutrition al deficiency is only rarely diag- nosed In hospitals.
 On the other hand the big shots and the acknowledged medical au. thorities have been dinning In our ears through the past decade th&t nutritional deficiency is one of the coSngnonest causes of Ill health in this country, and they have ascrib- ed the nutritlonal deficiency chief ly to insufficient Intake of vlta- mins.
 That this widespread nutritional deficiency Is not diagnosed or ap. parently even suspected as Q direct or contributing cause of the disa. biiitles that bring patients @ the public hospitals may seem highly slgnificant Co these shrewd publ. city hounds but not to any one who is capable of thinking for himself. In the first place, the percentage Of diagnostic error Is at least as great in public hospitals as it is in pri- vate practice, and no doubt the hos. pital staff members (who generally owe their appointment on the staff to other circumstances than actual professional ahility) have not yet learned to recognize nutritional dc. ficlency diseases in the earlier or milder stages. In the next place, probably ninety-Tline out Of . nun" dred persons with functional ale ments due to mild or moderate nu- trltional deficiency never go to Q hospital unless for emergency not related to their nutritional condi- ton.
 Oddly enough one of these pub- liclty hounds who issued the half- baked manifesto is closely associate ed with other big shots who are in. dustriously promoting the scheme to odctor white bread, that Is, to dope 1t up with dashes of this and that synethetic vitamin, for the avowed purpose Of increasing the vitamin intake of the general bread- eating public! This enrichment" or restoration" of bread is. in my opinion, a sorry compromise with the fundamental modern American nutrtional deficiency factor = the use of white bread in place of whole wheat. But the beauty of 1t is that the politicians who are in control of American Medicine can get theirs out of the enormous industry in- volved if the scheme to make "en- richment" of bread compulsory Is effective.
 Either nut1itional deficiency or malnutrition is widespread in this country or practically everybody is well nourished even on the every day refined diet of the great mass of people.
 It is time the big shots in or of the medical profession made up their minds about 1t.
