Today's hand is typical of their slam bidding methods. q have sup. piled the East-West hands, not given in the bookJ 5outh's one club bid show 8 minimum open ing bid of two and one-half honor count. The response of two clubs show a total of five in the com bined hands. South now has to call his lowest suit of four or more cards. Then North gets to business and tells what he is really interested in.
 The formula North uses to de- termine his bid Is as follows: Five for honor count, plus seven for his own trumps, plus two for trumps assumed to be held by South, plus one for the singleton in hearts, total IS: subtract the constant of 10; the difference is five, the number of odd tricks to be bid.
 South then bids six spades be- cause of his extra trump length and singleton club.

WHERE WILL YOU HAVE YOUR
 BABY, MA'AM?

BABY, MA'ADI?
 Statistics compiled by the Metro politan Life Insurance Company (Statistical Bulletin, Sept, 4D in- dicate that one out of every II pa bies born in the United States IS ushered into the world by a mid- wife. Midwives, not physicians, at tended the birts of 208,843 babies in the year 1889, 92 percent of the births recorded in that year.
 Midwives in the country seem to get a relatively greater part of the business than they do in the city. In urban areas they attend one n fifty births, in rural areas one Tn six.
 Yeah. and I remember how the doctor had to hump himself to beat the midwives to 1t there in the country. Ten bucks was the mini mum fee, and wo betide the snooty young doctor who ventured to de- mand more than the minimum, no matter how difficult or unusual the case. In my scrapbook somewhere I still have the indignant letter re- ceived from a gentleman whose wife I delivered one cold winter night in an emergency Che said his own doctor was busy on another easel, when 1 asked for the ten bucks but failed to make a number of calls gratis to take care of mother and baby in the weeks foi- lowing the birth. Doctors earned their money so easily in those days.
 At the risk of being branded a cold -blooded, hard boiled and un- sympathetic person I confess I ain of the opinion that 8 majority or young women preparing for mater nity, if any, nowadays, assume m entirely too heroic role and atti- tude. and the brass S. ecialist of the day exploit this attitude for all it is worth. Don't misunderstood me II have never had baby myself, and so can't realize just what It is like, can I? But I've been stand- ing by in good many cases and I admit it hurts some. I have always advocated and practiced the use or anesthesia for childbirth, in some instances even against the wish CT will of the patient or some mem Der of her family. If I were having baby I know blankety-blank well I'd have an aneSthetic, enough ar1- esthetic to make the first stage tol- erable, at least, and the second stage - well, in the second stage I'd go completely under anesthesia until it came time to awaken and hear the baby cry Hi, there, Ma dam, good work, good work!"
 But I'd do all this at home, not in any hospital or other institution, if had my way, and if I had a home fit to live in. I'd figure 1t this way: If my husband could afford to pay for the fancy doodads and pampering of disqualification, why, he could certainly afford to hire some one to take my housework on while I took @ two weeks vacation to have the baby. Of course I'd have no truck with doctors who have the temerity to insist that pa- tients enter hospital to have ba- bies. I'd employ a doctor who at- tends confinement cases at home, where the patient is always safer, In my opinion. than she is in any institution used for similar purpose by other people.

 Sweet potatoes are very plentiful now and important in the diet for their A and other vitamins. Pork is relatively cheap, though still high CT than it was this time last year. Although fresh vegetable prices will probably be higher than last year, vegetables are on the relatively in- expensive list and of course essen- tial in any good family diet. We'll probably have more carrots, green peas, and tomatoes available than last year at this time, but less Eeets, cabbage, celery, lettuce and Inions. So try to combine rela- lively inexpensive foods in your Sunday menu.

 New York-There seems to be 8 new slogan in the great American dress business: Lady, go smooth, go shining in the rain.

 Anyway, this years bluster togs carry functionaliSm to the point at which a raincoat really lifts your, spirits against the storm while 1t does regular outward = protection duty, too.

For if alert women ever think of the function of clothes, it's when they go wandering through dreary racks of rain things that may keep them dry but never heard of what they need just as n1uch-cheerl MAKES YOU
 LONG FOR RAIN
 Now, one of the cheeringest designs fashion has produced this fall is plaids. And great bright plaidS are here in raincoats, too. There's one coat to make college girl long for rain. This is reversi- ble, wool plaid on one side, cotton gabardine on the other. It's the classic, tied-around the middle cut. Another of this type is made of Egyptian cotton, beige on one side, solid fireman's red on the other.
 Could 1t be that the designers out of sheer patriotism have fig ured on keeping the women healthy and morale -building-gay flor U. s. defense, rain or shine?
 There's 8 clear-cut military note in one of the new tailored gab- ardine coats. With straight skirt and slightly upped collar, it will remind you of your favorite army mans. Another coat which is being featured in the stores at the moment is full-1ength cord uroy with an extra guarantee on its water resistant processing. This boxy coat is light and bright in color, too. It's beige, with brown leather buttons, which prompts the wearer to all sorts of inexpensive, merry headpieces, such as her favorite brilliant scarf thrown over the head, peasant style, with ends tucked into the coat.

 Now the glamor capital say9s oProportionate makeupl' Pere Vest more. one of HoIlywoods makeup a,Ithorities, says the key to correct IIse of cosmetics is not only tho shape of your face, but the distances between fetureS.
 The perfectly proportioned face, saws westmore, has the following relationship among features:
 1. Brow is as wide as the span of index finger, middle finger ana foreflnger of the right hand.
 ,. Eyebrows are above the eye a distance just about equal to the height of the whole eye when It M opened normally.
 3. Eyes are just about as far apart measuring from inside cor ner to inside corner) as the lengtD of one eye.
 4. The corners of the mouth. when the beauty smiles her broad- est, should be on line with the pupils of the eyes.
 Of course, Hollywood's stars are the best assurance that you neeo1 get excited If your face doesn't show these ideal dimensions. For few ir1- deed are the real glamor queens whoe faces match the theoretical ideal. s~
 There can be a certain attrac: ton in imperfection--if you doub it. compare the actuality of you favorite stars facial proportions with this ideal!
 However, if you have a feature that's way out of line, you can nx it with the aid of the scale given above. For instance, mascara ap- piled only at the outer corners oi the eyes will make them look longer. You will be surprised how strong an illusion you can create by skil' full use of cosmetics.
