WE, THE WOMEN
Pairing Off Guests Like Noah's Ark Animals Never Can Guarantee Success Of Any Dinner

It is one thing women can do to make the social life of community more pleasant for everybody.
 To begin with, there is no headache quite so severe as the caused when man dinner guest calls hostess at the last minute and says bhthely, I'm sorry, but won't be able to get to your house for dinner tonight. Something has come up at the office"
 If hostesses would quit being so self-conscous about having man, a woman, man. a woman all the way around dinner table, they could escape those headaches.
 But that is appeal to the selfish interest of the hostess. The people I'm really interested in are the guests. Particularly the women who rarely get to be guests at the evening parties of their married friends, because they Tone women"-and their married friends don't know any lone men to pair them off with
 LONE WOMEN MAKE GOOD LISTENERS
 If hostesses would get over their two-by-two ob- session, they could invite these women to their parties. They would not only give the lone women break but would probably end up by giving better parties. For lone are usually good listeners and appreciative, helpful guests.
 Besides, no woman knows when she may be lone woman herself. There always has been death and divorce, and now there's the draft
 It is mighty short-sighted of women who rule the social set-up, to fix things that woman without a man at hand is a drug on the social market

LEFT-HANDEDNESS

As a left-handed child I was forced to write with my right hand but in every other way I am still left-handed. Soon after entering school where they forced me to use only my right hand, I began to stutter and stammer and kept it up through grade, high school and col lege. The worst effect was stop page of speech which occurred un- der emotional stress. Recently when I ventured to say that such i'll ef- feet may be caused by forced change from left-handedness to right-handedness, but my view was dismissed by the leader Of the teachers organization as just an old notion. One of my own children is left-handed. What is your present opinion? Should left-handed chill dren be forced to adapt themselves to the right handed, even if they become speech cripples for life, or should they be left undisturbed? (S.J.D0
 OllC S4AAANA AAA CfSA twenty-five is naturally left-handed.
 By naturally left-handed mean the brain centerS and nerve paths controlling the finer movements of arm, hand, fingers involved in writ ing, drawing and other skilled work are in the right cerebral hemi- sphere, and the centers and nerve paths in the left (which control such movements of the right arm, hand, fingers) are latent, undevel- oped, not so easily developed by training, practice, education as are the centers and nerve tracts ill the right side of the brain.
 The centers for control of speech are in the left cerebral hemisphere in the right-handed person, and vice versa, ana the speech centerS are closely associated with the cen- ters for writing. That is virtually as far as we can go in the effort to explain why forced change of hand edness so often brings on stutter- ing an dother nervous" impedi- ments or troubles. I believe, too, that such forced change of handed ness in many instances handicaps the individual throughout life, makes him or her less efficient, less adaptable, less successful than he or she would have been if the hand edness had never been changed.
 Even in the infant natural hand edness may be determined by measurement of the "ulna plus, that is, the length of the forearm from tip of elbow to first joint be- yond knuckle of little finger = measured with brachiometer Especial slide caliper). The arm with the longer ulna plus is the arm the child should use for writ ing and other skilled work.
 In any case, surely the parents wish, and not the teachers whim, should be respected in the matter of the childis handedneSS.

If you intend to see the double smash bill currently at the Warner Brothers State theater you'll have to hurry as performances tomorrow evening positively conclude it's en- gagemnt. Headlining the program is the miracle musical of the year @Second Chorus" co-starring Paul. cite Goddard and Fred Astaire; and on the same big show is Jack Holt in "The Great Plane Robbery One of the most mammoth spec tacles that ever thundered across a motion picture screen, Wesley Rug gles Arizona" comes to the State on Wednesday with Jean Arthur starred.
 The sensational new drama of far frontier, of a period so drench- ed with sunlight and with blood that its recreation made it the most awaited picture in history, Arizona now looms vast across the mighty land which is America, because it is Q story of America.
 Telling of lawless frontiers, of fearless pioneers, of love and empire in the danger -Stalked vaStnesS of desert and plain, Arizona" has been hailed from coast to coast as the mightiest outdoor action drama of all time.
 Rich with all the color and cour- age which built America, Arizona" presents the brilliant Miss Arthur as Phoebe Titus, lone white woman in Tucson, that crawling fortress @kty in the great Southwest. Far seeing and ambitious, she is some lining of a wildcat in that laWless 1860. At her side is Peter Muncie, played by William Holden, who is afflicted with wander lust and with grim determination.
 In bringing this mighty adventure story to the screen, Wesley Rug gles is said to have spared no eX- pense, and the results have been described as even greater than his own Academy Award-winning "Cimarron", as the greatest out door drama of all time.
 Tn featured roles are Porter Hall and Warren William while thou nands of others round out the cast.

 The opening lead was won by the ace of hearts. Dummy led the seven of diamonds and West won the jack with the ace. West led low heart and South rufted with the four of trumps. The queen of diamonds put dummy back to lead another heart for South to ruff.
 Next Mrs. Wager cashed her two remaining trumps, went over to dummy with the queen of clubs to cash the jack of trumps. On this trick East was squeezed in the mi- nor suits, and South, diScarding after East, was able to win the rest of the tricks.

 Natural and Synthetic
 Is fish liver oil with viosterol more beneficial than the plain oil? Just what is viosterol? Miss O.JM.)
 Answer-Viosterol, irradiated er- gosterol, is synthetic yitamin D.. Fish liver oil contains natural vita min D. There is no difference be- tween them, practically, except that synthetic vitamin D in neutral oil is almost tasteless. Ergosterol IS a fat-like substance present In many foods and in the skin. IT, radiation of ergosterol with ultra violet light converts it into vi- oSterol.
 My sister wrote that friend ot hers who has spent hundreds or dollars on dentists and doctors and obtained no benefit, began using a mixture of one ounce cream of tar- tar. one ounce saleratus, one-half ounce common salt to brush her teeth and gums daily, and now her pyorrhea is practically cured and her teeth have become solid and beautiful. (Mrs. O'DM.B)
 Answer - Dentists often advise using plain salt to brush teeth and gums. The other ingredients are not advisable, I think.

Pick-Up Team Wins Ma BY VIM. E. MCKINNEY Americas Card Authority

An interesting fact about this years women's team-of-four cham pions is that the team was made up at the last minute. Mrs. Lottie Zetosch of New York and Mrs. Helen Levy of Jersey City had come to the Philadelphia Nationals without partners, and at the last minute they paired up with Mrs. Adelaide Neuwirth of New York and Mrs. Humphrey Wager of At lanta, Ga.
 This is not unusual, however, for the Women'S team -four. In 1885 player from California, one from Chicago, one from Cleveland and one from New York formed team at the last minute and won the title. The same team assembled again in Chicago in 1886 and suc- cessfully defended their title
