 Poland, Norway, Holland, Belgium, JugoSlavia, Greece-all have proved that valor. courage and training of fighting men at the front is no match Tor superiority of mechanical equipment. The fact is that actual ly modern wars are won behind the front lines of battle. The industrial front mas become paramount.
 In the days of the Punic wars be- tween Rome and Carthage, the problem of supplying material to the fighting men was a negligible one The armies were equipped with swords, spears. daggers, slingshots, bows and arrows: no ammunition was required. and wooden catapaults were manufactured by the soldiers at the front and the ammunition for them was the stones found near by.
 By the time of the Crusades, some additional arnor, particularly for horses, had to be supplied, but every army had it's armorers who travelled along with the fighting men.
 By the time of the Napoleonic wars. armies were equipped with ar- tillery and small arms, field bakeries and horse drawn vehicles - the be- ginning of "mechanization."
 By 1870, at the time of the Franco -Prussian war, the army be- hind the front"-the men nlanufac- turing and supplying the army with equipment and tools of war--was probably equal in numbers to the fighting army at the front.
 From that time on, the number of men (and women) in factories and workships behind the lines neces- sary to food, ciothe. and equip the fighting arms. began actually to ex- ceed the number of men in the armies and navies proper.

WOMLAN,S REALM F
GIOriting Yourself
By Alicia Hart
BY ALICIA HART NEA Service Stan Writer

The fact that your budget is ex- tremely limited is no excuse at all for being unkempt day In and day out. As a matter Of fact one who has only a few beauty preparations and a limited wardrobe often can use the preparations more telling and keep her clothes in better order than the woman who has creams and lotions stuffed in every drawer, more dresses than she ever stops to count.
 As to clothes, the No. 1 rule for an attractive, economical wardrobe In any income -bracket is: every gar- ment in service. And it's much easier to follow that rule when you have Q few carefully chosen, suitable, sim pie clothes than when you accum- ulate frills for their own sake. CLEANLINESS
 COSTS LITTLE
 As to beauty and grooming, the most important thing is absolute cleanliness. And soap and water cost very little. The price of daily UhVklt WGSkAy SAAHNbpV0 AAAA AuhC- warm soapsuds in which to wash underwear and stockings every night is so little that 1t scarcely dents the minimum budget.
 Very modest also Is the cost of electricity to heat an iron for press ing. And shoe-trees, husbands and the tiny metal gadgets which keep hair neatly curled are inexpensive in the long run. You budget them for several years-they do last in- definitely.
 If you have only one cream, use 1t regularly and carefully every night, Remember homemmade masks, made of egg, almond meal or milk, really are worthwhile, and ice-water does make the cheeks firmer, though it's no substitute for fragrant, flat tering tonic. Lemon juice is one of the very best bleaches for elbows and hands. And the only thing that's needed to keep average hair lovely is that nightly, faithful brushing.

. MeKENNEY oN BRIDGE
Amateur Plays Careful Bridge For Small Slam
BY WILLIAM E. MCKINNEY America's Card Authority

The amateur events of the Amer lean Contract Bridge League are probably misnamed. They should be termed non-Master events, be- cause any player holding 10 or more Master Points is barred from the amateur contests.
 But the possession of 10 Master Points does not make Q player a professional. Interest in the anna teur games Is always keen. I some- times think 1t might be good idea to transfer some of the Masters over to the amateur games and let them see how well some of the hands are bid and played by the Masters.
 The Presidents Pair event at Ashury Park this year. for which the winners were awarded special trophies donated by Col. Robert J. Gill of Baltimore, Md, president of the league, was won by Judge A. D. Delmar of Englewood, N. J., and David Horan of Radburn, N. J. Tn second place were Jacob Berson of Brooklyn, N. r., and Milton Troop of Newark, N. J.
 One of the interesting hands played in the Presidents Pairs is shown today. Several pairs reached six spades but only Horan (North) made the contract. The club lead was won by the ace, and a heart lead put dummy in to lead dia- mond. The queen was finessed and won. This finesse strangely enough, was taken by all the slam bidders and turned out to be unnecessary.
 Horan continued by ruffing low diamond, ruffirg 8 low heart. then

No apparent benefit can be expected from such treatment in a few days or even in Q few weeks in most cases. It must be faithfully followed for month or more, as a rule, be- fore any material benefit is evident.

The whole matter is one that requires the su- pervision and expert Judgment of the physician, The purpose of this discussion is to inform the public what the present state of medical opinion is in regard to such doses or rations (vitanlin D, like other vttamins, is primarily nutritional substance, a food, rather than Q medicine).

 So he cashed the king and ace of trumps, leaving himself with none and West with the queen, Dummy cashed the heart king, and as Horan had hoped, the hand with the last trump also had the last heart. That let dummy continue with the fifth heart and North discarded his last two small cards. North held the diamond ace and the club king at the end, and West made only his long trump.

FRIENDLTNEss VS. "SOPHISTICATTON"

But the truth of his warning shouldn't make Q girl hesitate to leave her home town in search oi bigger opportunities in q city.
 If a girl is smart, she can avoid becoming a city type. She can hold on to her individuality, her friendliness, and her open smile no matter how blase are the wom- en around her.
 If she does remain herself in- stead of developing a hard shell of sophistication, she'll find out that she will make friends almost as easily as she did at home. She'll make friends not only in her office and with the people she meets so- cially-but just as she did at home, with the butcher, the baker, and the boy behind the drugstore coun- ter.
 Behind their masks, city people are just as susceptible to friend Illness and naturalness as small town folk. Even more susceptible perhap, for they don't have as many chances to meet up with 1t.

 A. The best way to clean most skin, unless 1t Is very sensitive, is to wash with soap and water. Use warm, soft water, a mild toilet soap and wash cloth. Work up good lather and rub 1t well into the skin. Rinse thoroughly with warm water to get all the soap out of the pores. Finally dash on very cold water, 10 stir up the circulation and "toneup" the skin.

smiling Nellie of Centerville goes to Chicago, San Francisco, New York, or any other large city to work, she soon makes herself over to fit in with her new background. And he thinks the result-dead pan face, cynical attitude, elbow-push- ing aggressiveness-is q poor swap for the girl that Nellie was.
 In fact, he says that, by losing her spirit of friendliness and thoughtfulness and by assuming an artificial mental barrier which she likes to think of as capitalization, Nellie makes herself less attractive to men and so Is likely to miss out on the chance of getting herself a good husband and settling down to a normal home life.
