Claire Tilden has ex- pertly planned this summery style to both slim you down and dress you up. First, she makes your waist look lean and lithegome with a front-pointed girdle that's narrowed in back for nice lines. Then she softens and enhances your bosom by giving the bodice full-cut, easy 1t, with gathering above the waist band point and darts beneath the neck. Next, she lets the neckline look young and feel cool and comfy by shaping in 1t sweetheart style. Even the paneiled skirt adds to the flattering picture with its graceful. easy swing. Your short sleeves may be either slashed and gathered or straight. Finish of the style with 6 wide, frothy edging of lace all around the neck and the sleeves. And choose soft print fabric that's cool and colorful.

Many low-cost cuts of meat can be made delicious If properly cook cd. The Department of Home Eco nomics of the National Live Stock and Meat Board has just issued basic instructions on how to cook various cuts of meat. Let's begin our review with the following:
 PANBROILING :"
 Use c heavy frying pan or grid- ale. It is not necessary to preheat the frying pan. Place meat in pan. Do not add fat or water. Don't cover. Brown meat on both sides Reduce temperature and cook slowly until done, turning from time to time so that meat will cook eveY- lN Pour of fat as 1t accumulates in the pan so that meat will not fry. METHODS OF COOKING BY
 MOIST HEAT
 The methods of cooking by moist heat are braising and cooking In water. The less-tender cuts con- tain more connective tissue which requires moist heat to soften 1t and make 1t tender.
 BRAISING

pepper. Meat may be tiredged with flour, If desired. Brown on all sides in hot fat. T0he fat may be that which melts out of the meat or may be added. Add @ small amount of liquid, If neces- sary. Pork chops, for example, are better If no liquid is added. If the liquid. cooks away, more may be added, but only Q very little ct Q time. By doing 1t in this way richness of color and flavor in both meat and gravy is developed. The liquid used may be water, meat or vegetable stock, sour cream, or milk. Cover closely. Cook at a siynmering temperature on top of the range or in the oven.
 COOKING IN WATER
 Cooking in water is the method used in preparing both stews and large pieces of meat. According to former usage, "stewing" was the term used to designate the method of cooking small pieces of meat in water, whereas cooking in water" designated the prepara- ton of large cuts. The only ddf- ference between stewing and cooking in water being the size of the cut, the Committee on Prep aration of the National Cooper ative Meat Investigations has adopted the one term cooking In water" to cover both large and small pieces of meat.
 STEWS
 Gut meat into small, uniform pieces. Season with salt and pep per. Brown on all sides In own oy added fat. of q light stew Is de- sired, do not brown.) Cover meat with hot water. Cover kettle | closely. Cook slowly until the meat Is tender. DO not boil. Meat should be cooked at 6 sinmerine temperature (about i85 degrees F.) Add vegetables Just long enough be. fore meat Is tender to be done but not over-cooked. Thicken liquid fol gravy and serve in separate dish.
 LARGE CUTS
 Cover meat with water. The meat should be covered so that al of it is cooked at the same tenn perature, the heat being trans. mitted to the meat through thu water. Season with salt and pep per, if required Spices and herb. or flavor vegetables may be added Cover and simmer gently unti done. Do not boil. If vegetables are to be cooked with the meat add just long enough before thu meat is tender to be done.

Simple mathematics allows you to make the contract on this hand just count your tricks.
 It is difficult to count 10 tricks, but If we figure four club tricks, the ace of hearts and two heart xufis, the ace and king of spades and the long trump, we have 10 tricks. As there Is no other choice, that is the line of play to be fol- lowed.
 The opening heart lead should be won with the ace, 6 small club led and the jack flnessed. A trump should be won with the king and the second club led.
 Now another trump trick should Do cashed, leaving only the queen at large. A heart should be ruffed sn dummy and the five of clubs led and won with declarer's ninespot.

WANTED, A BANK TO HOLD UP
 Figures, the Arabic kind, frighten me. I have an obsession or com plex about figures with an anxiety neurosis akin to that of the poor geek who develops auto o-intoxic ation whenever his bowels seem at all in- active. Honestly, I'd rather take Q bath than add up Q column of flg- ures. Two or three times in my life I have gotten into horrible predic- ament-I found a discrepancy in Q bank statement-and after getting into shape by taking several cold sweats over 1t I have driven myself to call the matter to the attention of the bank. No pity there at all. In e jiffy the bank pointed out the er- TOT In my computation and I came away with bitterness in my heart. I know I'll never be able to enter Q bank without cringing from con- sciousness of being watched as a sus- picious character.
 I have thought this matter over thoroughly and come to the conclu- sion that if I could hold up some good bank or, better, a number of them somewhere, it might do me good and the public too.
 What I want is @ bank of fair size where there are at least half e dozen cashiers, tellers, not shaw CTS ct cetera on duty every day ex- cept Sundays and holy days, and ev- cry such ofilcer either remains be- hind an efflcient screen or wears Q suitable mask to protect him from the customers conversational spray and the customer from his.
 It is easy enough to find banks where such officers or employees are behind grills or gratings or even have Q partial screen of plate glass between officer and customer, but these are not efficient screens SC far as prevention of respiratory in- lection is concerned.
 Now don't tell me it would be iI1- practicable to have Q glass screen entirely separating clerk from client There is no reason why such pro lection to the health of all con- cerned should not be used in every bank or similar institution, and in every ticket oftlce at every cashiers desk, for that matter. Ample provi- sion for passing money, change checks etc., zack and forth under the screen, as well as for transmit ting sound of the voice, may be made without impairing the efficiency ot the screen as Q bar to the transfer of infection.
 I'd like to hold up such bank be- fore the public as a good example oi progress and intelligent considera- ton for the public health. But first I must find out where there Is such @ bank.
 If any reader thinks of telling me that metal or paper is & medium oi exchange or transfer of infection from person to person, don't do It because I'm telling you right now that 1t isn't.
 But I'll be grateful to any reader who may spot a bank somewhere that practices this golden rule o' hygiene.

of water. Swish 1t around to molsten the entire iasole and lining, drain excess into next SsTus and continue until all shoes treated. Then let shoes stand, preferably in open air or sunlight, to dry thoroughly for at least twenty-four hours before wear ing them. Keep the forlnaldehyde off from your hands or skin.
 Cooking and vitaminS
 Does cooking destroy vitamin 5 complex in wheat germ? If 50, would 1t be safe to eat wheat germ raw2
 (M. c. O.
 Answer-prolonged heating, as in baking, destroys perhaps 30 per cens of the B complex. Boiling water de- stroys and dissolves out in the water rather more. Wheat germ is pers fectly wholesome to eat raw.
 Chronic Gcosefesh
 I have chronic goosefiesh or kind of nutmeg grater condition Of tho Sk1n, eSpeclally apoue tAle &AtSenp calves, elbows. I saw something in your column about this and began taking 5000 units of natural vita min A daily. Tn about a week l flo- ticed a sore feeling back of my eyes.
 (M. B) Answer-rt is unlikely that the vitanin A has anything to do with that. A fair test of A-deficiency as the cause of your skin condition re- quires that you take 100000 units of natural vitamin A daily for ten days or so, and after that 50,O00 units daily for month. If no evidence of improvement by that time, 1t is prcb- ably not A-deficiency. If you exper- fence improvement, continue taking 25 ,000 units of vitamin A daily for several months. Notwithstanding the fancies of physicians who know lit- tie about vitamins, there is no con. vincing evidence that "too much" of any vitamin ever does any harm. Protected by John F. Dille CO.,

 Daily routines for the baby deter mine the difference between a happy, contented, beautiful child and . peevist, fretful one. Routine trains the child in good health habits which should remain with him.

 2. If breast feeding Is not pos- Bible, supplementary feeding or com- pleteiy artificial feeding with simple mixtures of cows milk, properly pasteurized or boiled, or some milk mixture approved by your physician.
 3. Regular periods for sleep should be established after each feeding and strictly kept.
 {. Give the bath at a regular time each day. Remember that strict cleanliness is of great importance.
 8. Play periods when the child should Dc left largely to himself in a play pen are necessary for nor- n1al development.

Government employees who volun- teered to entertain soldiers on leave in Washington are classified as to appearance, personality and ability to dance, In the files Q card for each volunteer states clearly whether she Is easy on the eyes, moderately 70 or downright ugly, how well she can dance and the impression her per- sonality made on the interviewer who signed her up.
 The volunteers never will see their own cards, of course. But 1t might not be such 6 bad idea to let them take Q look, If they want to.
 This would ct least give the girl who never Is called upon to serve as 0 National Defense Hostess Q chance to find out why.

 The problem of being Q bad dancer is pretty simple to solve. It involves lessons Q profess sional teacher or 6 friend who Is c good dancer. And there's no sense In being SO chock full of false pride that asking c friend for help Is quite out of the question. Better to ask for help-and get it-than to have him wish to goodness you would each time he asks you to dance.
