BY WILLIAM E. MCKINNEY Americas Card Authority

Gh8haSe ASs - SssAW GAWthhVkAby
 As I travel around the country am always on the lookout for . coming young star and think I discovered one at the Ohio State Tournament this year.
 I played with . young chap, Jack Denny, of Toledo, O., In the Pair event and while we only finished fifth, I predict that 1t won't be long before you see this young fel- lows name on one of the master trophies of bridge.
 Ills bidding has a natural sound- ness to 1t and his card playing Is excellent as Is well demonstrated In this hand.
 When dummy went down. Denny decided that East must have doubl- ed c long trump holding. Hence the proper plan never to lead trumps, but to make as many trumps as possible by cross-ruff.
 The opening lead was won by the ace of hearts and dummy led the other heart, the king winning. Next South cashed the ace of clubs and led the six, won by East's king. East exited with Q diamond, forcing the ace.
 Dummy led c club, East discard. cd . diamond, and South ruffed. South led a heart for dummy to ruff with the ace. Another club was led, and again East discarded, South ruffing. Denny led his last heart and ruffed with the jack of trumps.

MOTHER AS A NURSE

MOTHER AS A NURSE
 The laynsan will meet the original Mrs. Camp in Martin 0nuzElewit. The community in which I began practice was heavily infested with Saireygamps whose presence com. plicated the problem of maintaining an aseptic environment for blessed events. Intimately associated with the idea of Q saireygemp in my mind is the benevolent but danger. ous busybody crowding upon my back trying to get closer to the field of operation and reminding me "Be sure to leave me lots of cord, DOC. tor" Which only insured 6 strict caution that no one was to disturb or remove the navel dressing in my absence, else I could not be respon- sible for the consequences.
 A good mother must necessarily double as nurse when c member of her family is III and in this capa- city she performs miracles in time of peril. When the doctor gives a direction or instructs mother to do thus and so he knows his directions will be faithfully followed.
 But in reference to minor ills mother, in her zeal to take things in time or to emulate her more in- spired conception of the trained nurse, frequently does Q Saireygamp, For example:
 "You advised mothers to throw away their clinical thvrmometers.

If the oldest boy, going to school, gets sick with fever, and the rest of the children get sick in turn, I use the thermometer on them to see when they will be well again. Don't let them up until c day or two after their fever is gone. I al- ways thought 1t would be danger. ouS to let them run around the house if they have fever, and wouldn't know they had fever unless I took their temperatures. We lost one child from pneumo. nia; and I've been keeping the children in bed whenever they have fever since then,
 i've often wondered about using c clinical thermometer at home, because my brother often said that they are only mischief makers.
 "So I would appreciate 1t if you would give us 0 talk about 1t some time" (Mrs. B, p.)
 I second the motion of Mrs. B, P.'s brother.
 Mrs. B.

While the majority of exercise au- thoritieS in the East put much eIn- phasiS on exercises to reduce the thighs and hips, many of the Holly. wood figure experts insist that # you concentrate on routtnes to keep your walstline slim, the rest of your Jumps and too-plump curves will disappear automatically,
 watch your waistline and you will have the key to complete figure beauty" says Jim Davies, one of the most famous figure eX- perts in the film capital "All ex- ercises which tend to slenderi2e the torso will do wonderful things for the rest of your figure"
 MT, Davies - to whom goes ct least part Of the credit for the lovely figures of such stars as Madeleine Carroll, Dorothy La~ mour, Mary Martin and Ellen Drew advocates the use of c slanted board in home exercising.
 You need . board about one ana c half rect wide and six feet long, !" Jim Davies explains. "Pad, 1t If you like. Across the higher end, at- tach . strap to hold the feet firm ly,"
 USE THE BOARD
 Here are directions for two of MT. Davies on-the-board excersises to slenderize the waistline:
 Lie on the board with head at the higher end, grasping the upper edge of 1t with your hands, as shown m the lower picture. Now, without moving head and shoulders, place ankles together, pull toes toward the body, then slowly lift legs until they are perpendicular to the body. DO not bend knees. Hold the position for ten seconds, then slowly lower legs. Repeat ten times, inhaling deeply as legs are raised, exhaling as they are lowered,
 Now lie on your back on the board with feet ct the higher end and un- der the strap-as shown In the up- per photograph.
 Keeping knees straight and toes pulled in toward the body, raise yourself to sitting position and stretch forward until you can touch toes with fingertips, Slowly return to original position with head at the lower end of the board, Repeat slowly five times the first day, six the second, seven the third, and 80 on until you are doing exercise fif- teen times Q day.
 Both of these routlnes will slend- erize the waistline and flatten the stomach, whether you do them on Q board or not. The same directions apply when you do them flat on the floor. And MT. Davies insists that they Will slenderize hips and things as well as waistline,
