. McKENNEY's BRIDGE QUIZ

BY VIM. E. MCKINNEY America's Card Authority

In employing the McPherran NO Trump Convention, your partner, of course, must have g. thorough un- derstanding of the various re- sponses. A response of two no trump by partner is a forcing bid and shows a tremendous hand.
 Tn today's hand we find West att tempting to interfere with the nor- nal bidding with his four-diamond overcall. North, however, bids four no trump, which under these cir- cumstances, is the same as the two no trump bid, showing a big hand and asking partner 70 continue bid- ding. North does not have to worry which type of hand South holds. If it Is the No. sub-minimum type, then he has at least an ace, king. and c queen. These tops. with North,s tremendous strength, should produce a slam even without long suit. If South has Q No. 2 freak suit hand, then his suit should be solid, with North's help. and the slam should be made with six or more tricks In this long suit plus North's side tricks.
 South. with . good. solid heart suit. jumps to six hearts, and that

BUY WITH CARE


Get in step with Mrs. America. She
buys with care. Here are II rules she
uses when she buys food:
1. She plans before she buys; pen
nies go farther then.
2. She shops around to learn where
the best buys are.
3. She compares prices of foods
with equal food values.
4. She buys in quantity when econ
omies come that way.
5. She reads labels to know what's
in food packages.
6. She compares costs per ounce
and pound of different sizes.
7. She buys by weight, not by
dime or dollars worth.
8. She buys by grade to get the
quality she pays for.
8. She watches scales to make sure
how much she gets.
10. She learns the seasons when
different foods are cheapest.
II. She checks her purchases be-
fore she leaves the store.
12. She keeps up to date about the
foods her family needs.

BUYING COTTON STOCKINGS
Cotton stockings are getting more
important as silk stocks dwindle away.
Here are some tips on what to look
for when you buy cotton hosiery.
Labels seldom tell you these facts so
you have to know what to look for.
First you should be able to tell
whether you're getting full-fash-
ioned or circular knit stocking. Circu-
lar-knit are just as durable but they
aren't likely to fit as we'll or look as
we'll They're usually cheaper, how
ever. To distinguish between them,
look for the little fashion marks on
either side of the seam in back. If
the stitches on the outside of the
marks meet them at an angle, the
stocking is full-fashioned, or knit to
fit not only in the leg, but in the foot,
ankle, knee, and heel as well.
Weight of the thread and gauge of
the stitch, which means the number
of stitches to 112 inches on the knit
ting machines, affect the sheerness of
LIE SIOChiiiS anu, tilSl cIolc, Ilo uul q
bility. Gauge in cotton hose means
the same as in silk, but thread count,
which indicates fineness in silk hose,
doesn't have the same meaning for
cotton. In fact, cotton thread counts
are almost meaningless to the con-
sumer. You can best judge how sheer
cotton stockings are by examining
them with your hand inside the leg.
Lisle stockings, of course, are very
fine cotton stockings, knit of very fine,
specially treated yarns, for looks and
Sheerness.
Other points to remember about
cotton hose: Always ask about color
fastness for cotton stockings will fade
if they weren't dyed with "vat" or
Sulphur" colors. Be as careful about
size as you was with silk stockings.
Those that are too long or too short
in either foot or leg will wear out
quickly. Stocking sizes are the length
of the foot in inches.
Treat cotton stockings as carefully
as you would silk to preserve them.
Put them off and on carefully, avoid
ing snags from rough fingers, sharp
ingernails, or jewelry. Wash them
carefully, as they are less elastic than
silk. Don't hang them over a hot
radiator or in the sun, and never,
never iron them.

ing. November %

Local Union No. 172 seems to be
coming to life again. There are a few
more members coming out to the
meetings and with cool weather here,
we hope more will attend.
We had a great loss recently with
the death Of our vice president, Basil
3. Cox. We will miss him and his en-
thusiasm at our meetings.
II the members would only realize
that their presence makes the local,
they might take little more interest
in the local and quit waiting for some
one else to move first everyone
would be better satisfied.
There are several members getting
behind in their dues. We wish that
everyone would check their due books
and keep in good standing.
We are going to have fish fry
with all the trimmings after the reg
ular meeting November %. We ex-
pect a good turnout for this occasion.

Insurance Agents Go AFL

Washington, D. C.-Three elections

Board among the Home Beneficial

Portsmouth, Va, 26 for the AFL and
two against, and in Newport News,

The Industrial and Ordinary Insur-
ance Agents Council announced that
these three elections raised to eight

tative involving $50 agents.
