COSMETIC SURGERY

SS@ANA@A = AS SS&~$NA@&~&
 From removal of c wen or mole to altering the contour of the nose, sculptural, plastic or cosmetic sur gery demands the finest training and the utmost skill, which only the qualified reputable physician and surgeon has. Too often the m.s. guided individual who seeks such treatment takes the charlatan or quack ct his own solicitation-for- getting that Q really capable and reliable doctor is sufficiently recoin- mended by his satisfied patients and only the one who is not SO good has to use other means of getting patients.
 It is true that the ordinary lay- man seeking a plastic or sculptural surgeon is peculiarly at Q disad- vantage. In most progressive com- munities today a layman or a stranger in the community who has occasion to consult 6 physician, surgeon or specialist but knows of none, may easily obtain the names and office addresses of 0 few re- putable ones by telephoning the office of the local county medical society and asking for the infor- nation. This Is Q public service provided by the medical society free of charge, as an ethical duty. Of course the physicians, surgeons or specialists whose names are so pro- vided are members or fellows of the medical society. Would you want one who isn't? Would you choose @ lawyer who Is not & member and not recognized by the bar associa- ton?
 But If you seek a cosmetic sur- geon or Q plastic or reconstructive surgeon, you may not find 1t so easy. In the first place the medical pro- fession as a whole is still pretty narrow about some things, and so, while some two dozen specialists are formally recognized as special ists, among them surgery, ortho- pedic, surgery collection of deformi- ties) and industrial surgery Great ing injuries of industrial employes) the A. M. A. does not recognize doc- tors who limit their practice to cor- rective surgery, and therefore the local county medical society's in- formation bureau will find 1t difIi- cult to give you the name of @ com- petent plastic surgeon.
 Surgeons who limit their prac- tice to correction of these cosmetic faults or blemishes and to recon structive surgery (preventing and ameliorating effects of wounds, burns, scars) seem to have an in- feriority complex like that of the dentists Gin relation to the general medical profession). At least I have found 1t difficult to learn what physicians or surgeons in the community are qualified to give such treatment. Apparently they hesitate to acknowledge this, just as many dentists use only the title Doctor on their professional stationery and leave you to guess whether they are near-doctors, queer-doctors or just too dumb to know what 1t is all about.
 Perhaps the wise course to fol- low If you contemplate cosmetic or sculptural surgery of any kind and do not know of such a surgeon whose reputation is unquestionable, Is to ask the guidance of your own family physician or any physician of standing In your own commu- nty. He or she will refer you to Q reliable plastlc surgeon. Once more warn you, beware of the specialist who appeals directly to the public for patronage.

Now Tobin could have cashed the long heart for the fourth defensive trick. But he saw that if East held enough shoppers in the black suits to prevent declarer from making game in top cards, then East would be squeezed when the last heart and the diamond ace were cashed.
 The only hope was to abandon the long heart. Tobin therefore switched to the ten of spades, and this play resulted in delcarer's losing two more tricks.

UNCLE RAYS CORNER Oklahoma Behind in Oil Production

It seems clear that the Nazi drive
into Russia was made to obtain OIL!
Russia has a richer oil supply than
any other nation in Europe.
Hitler needed the oil for his war
machines. Tanks and airplanes will
not move if they have no gasoline
for their motors. Gasoline can De.
obtained from coal, but the oest
place to get it is from oil.
1t is plain why the Nazis wanted
oil, but if they did not make war,
they would not need 1t. When there
is no war, plenty of oil can be OBJ
tainted through peaceful trade.
Nature gave the earth huge sup
ply of oil, but it was not placed
evenly over the continents. Judg-
ing by the yearly output North
America has more oil than all the
rest of the world.
It is not safe to Judge the supply
entirely by output. Every year oil
wells are found in places where no
one knew they existed before. There
was a time when Oklahoma was
classed as "the greatest oil State IN
the United States" That time has
passed. Thanks to new wells, Texas
is now far ahead Of Oklahoma, and
California has ranked above Okla
homa in most years Of the past 10.
Very likely the coming years will
pee hundreds Of new oil wells, per-
haps thousands. Some other con-
0nent-let us say Africa OF Asia

United States wells than from all
wells in all other nations.
In the past 10 years the average
output of the worlds oil has been
about 100 100000 barrels per year.
OF this the average Of the United
States has been about 1000, 900 900
barrels per year. In the past fivs
years the average has been well
above that figure.
Russia ranks second In OH pro-
duction. It produces only about
one-sixth as much as the United
States, but Russian oil is Of special
importance in the present warfare.
1t exists In q center from which II
can be transported easily.
So far as our records 60 for the
past five years, Venezuela ranks
third, and Iran is fourth. Fifth
place is held by the Dutch East In

many a slip 'twixt the cup and the
lip?"-Jane B.
Answer-An ancient Greek legend
tells us of an incident in the life Of
King Ancaeus of Samos. Upon
planting a new vineyard, the King
summoned a soothsayer and re-
quested a favorable omen. The
soothsayer said darkly. You will
not live to taste the wine of this
crop"
Later, when the grapes were ripe,
Ancaeus raised cup of the new
wine to his lips and Knocked the
seer, who retorted, There is many
a slip between the cup and the lip"
Before the King could taste the
wine, a slave announced that the
vineyard was being ravaged by a
wild boar. Setting down the cup,
Ancaeus went forth to kill the boar,

South's bid of five no-trump had
very clear meaning. It said:
Partner, I certainly want to play
thls hand at some slam contract
In spite OF your spade raises, am
still uncertain as to the best trump
suit. If you have a five-card club
suit, bid six clubs; if you have ex-
cellent spade support, bid six spades:
otherwise, bid six no-trump." This
Is not a conventional bid, but con-
veys so exact a message from the
logic of the situation.
West opened the eight of hearts,
South winning with the ten. After
drawing three rounds of trumpS,
South saw that his only worry was
the club suit, and that was nothing
to feel concerned about unless West
had four clubs to the jack. The
rest of the play, therefore, had to
be planned to guard against this
possible danger.
After some thought, South cashed
the king of clubs, the two top hearts,
the ace of diamonds, and finally
exited with the jack of diamonds.
Having made these plays, South
didn't care which opponent won the
trick nor how the clubs were split;
his slam was safe.
If West won the trick and re-
turned club, South would have
free finesse; if he returned anything
but club, dummy could ruff while
South IicnorlnI c1,,1 To
the diamond trick and returned a
red suit. South would get the same
uff-and-sluff. And if East could
win and return club, there would
be no club loser. Of East could
lead a second club, either the suit
would split evenly or East would
have four to the jack, and, in the
latter case, South would be able to
win q fnesse with the ten of clubs.)
