stand alone against this new
world with whatever weapons she
finds in her hands. AS the store
prospers under the management of
the handsome and ruthless Charles
Salter, Lily advances too. She adj
vances by giving more and more
OF herself to the store and to Sal
ter; by permitting the store to af-
feet her relations with her mother
and her brother and sister, even
with Mark, whom she loves.
Here is the age-old story of
estrangement of husband and wife,
and the newer story of the impact
upon a woman of world devised
by men. Salter's ruthless disil-
lusioning of Lily makes one of
the most dramatic chapters in the
novel.
Mr.. Lee has chosen the depart
ment story as immediate back
ground because of the opportunity
it gives for suggesting some char
acteristics of our time. But his
story is also that Of a woman be-
wildered and self-deceived, who is
struggling against the forces Of
materialism, the story of many
woman today.
FINLAND FOREVER
BY Hudson Strobe
This is the story of a land and
of a people who have fought for
centuries against overwhelming
! odds and survived to create a ma
ton and way of life that is both
a model and an inspiration. It
makes it clear why a country
smaller than the state of Califor-
mia was able for 105 long days
to hold at bay the massed might
of the red army of Russia.
II have written this book" the
author says, because I wish more
men to know the inspiring truth
about the Firms, have tried to
interpret the heart of the nation
by recounting what I knew init
mately of its people in 1889 prior
to the outbreak of war. Everyone
knows how marvellous the Firms
were as soldiers-their record in
war Is unsurpassed. But few real
ize how admirable they were in
peace. So in this book I have en-
deavored to show the simple pat
tern of daily living and daily think
ing that made heroic Finland pos
sible."
Few Americans know Finland as
intimately as Hudson Stroke. He
has travelled leisurely from the
modern city of Helsinki in the
south to the rolling pasture lands
of the Lappe on the shores Of the
Arctic Ocean. He met ans talked
with many men, from Sibelius to
peasant, from Nurmi to Manner
! helm. He has studied Finland's
industry and her Agriculture, her
great co-operatives and her splen-
did arts. And from his studies, he
has drawn this vital and definitive
portrait of an heroic people and
an heroic land

what he is going through at the moment 1t isn't going to make din- ner table conversation.
 "L. N. D. o. C." WORKS
 This family itself is proof that the five letter reminder, Il. N. D. o. G." is a good idea. Though most of the children are grown and sev- eral of them are living away from home, they are still a closely knit family unit
 Instead of dreading a visit home, as SO many young adults do, the children of this family manage 10 get home at regular intervals whether 1t Is convenient or not. They don't do 1t from a sense Of duty, but because they like and Gd- mire each other and enjoy catching up on the details of each others lives.
 There would undoubtedly be more congenial families if more parents would outlaw the practice of menl- bers of the family picking each oth- CT apart and dwelling on each oth- CTS shortcomings and mistakes.
 Il. N. D. O. O." Say 1t the next time one member of your family is being analysed and criticized by the other members. Keep on say ing it whenever the need arises. The members of your family are sure to end up with more real hk- ing and respect for each other and kinder feeling for home if you d0

BY WILLIAM E. MCKINNEY America's Card Authority

Tn 1930 Waldemar von zedtwitz presented to the American Con- tract Bridge League solid gold trophy to be competed for annually by the Master players of the coun- try. This was the beginning of the Master Point plan, one of the great est rating systems of any sport in the world today.
 When the gold cup was first put into play, Von zedtwitz said that anyone who won 1t three times would have permanent possession of 1t. Although we felt no one would be able to win the trophy three times, in the short span of five years Howard Schenken of New York had been the victor three out of five times.
 Won Zedtwitz had the right to replace the trophy, but as we ali wanted to see the same one remain in play, he made an agreement with Schenken that the gold cup would remain in play with the under standing that 1t could not be won by any player as a permanent pos- session.
 Now, after seven years, Schenken is again the winner of the world championship Masters Pair event with M. D. Maier of New York. l have often heard it said at tourna- ments that 1t was a pleasure even to lose to Schenken, who is one of the most popular of all tournament players. One of the worlds greatest players, he certainly handled the hand shown today in nice style to win the coveted title for the fourth time.
 Sitting South, Schenken won the opening lead with the ace of spades. Two heart leads exhausted the ad- verse trumps. Then the three top diamonds were cashed. The suit tailed to break, so there was still the possible club loser to worry about. Instead of riskjng the club finesse, Schenken ruffed out the last diamond, then led the spade. West, forced in the lead, had to re- turn club or else give declarer a ruff and stuff.

Every Silk Cloud Has Rayon Lining
SYNTHETIC FABRIC SHINES BRIGHTLY
 IN DESIGNERS IMPORTANT MODELS

Swank designers reverently showed silk in the recent fall open- ings here, but they showed some rayon too. The truth is, silk is pretty exclusive" nowadays. And beyond the custom trade, rayon is everywhere. Tn fact, it's estimated that about 30 per cent of all ready made dresses (except cotton, of course) retailing at over $6 are rayon.
 THREE SIMPLE
 RAYON RULES
 That brings up something pretty pertinent for the average woman.
 Rayon, as you probably know, is the family name for man-made silk, crepe and wool types, and 8 whole enw collection of cousins like rayon bengaline, rayon faille, and many other novelty fabrics. Rayon, like most synthetics, demands special care.
 All rayon fabrics are made from ofur different kinds of fibre. All four do NOT take the same temperature iron. All four do NOT take the same kind of cleaning fluid. There fore it is necessary to follow these simple rules in order to get most for your money in rayon:
 l. With washable garments and fabrics, look for a tag which tells how to launder it. The Federal Trade Commission ruled in 1887 that every rayon or part-rayon dress must be labeled, and there fore you can expect to know when you buy it. The identifying tag also carries the laundering directions. Follow them or have your laundress follow them.
 9. Remember that certain stains are tough to remove from any fabric, and with rayon the hazard is greater.
 3. Don't use rayon for your ex- periments in home cleaning ana spot-removing. Send your rayon things to 8 good cleaner and call his attention to the material.
 9GYOIlu UklCSoC O4AoA aCbSA A0beSS rayon doubles for silk and wool with singular versatility. It has some other unique virtues. Speci- cally, q dress length of rayon fabric now often costs no more than a yard of the natural fabric cost years ago Take velvet. Twenty years ago an all-silk velvet sold for $6 to $lO a yard. Today rayon velvet, crush resistant and with sheen and feel that bears close insepction very well, costs g a yard, Consequently, women who never could afford real silks and satins, wear rayon silks and satins now. And many who pay up to $50 for Q dress wear them, too.
 Rayon came into very wide spread use during the depression, and 1t wasn't always labeled. But now Uncle Sam says label 1t, and reliable manufacturers and stores do 1t.

HAY FEVER AN DAsTHMA

am delighted to report the re- suits I have obtained from the treat- ment of allergy suggested in your pamphlet Relief for Allergy," writes K. R. T. Pamphlet sent on re- quest if you inclose stamped en- velope bearing your address). I have had benefits beyond my hopes.
 My trouble is spasmodic asthma and in addition, in July and August even before ragweed pollen season I am subject to two or three days week of violent sneezirlg contiil- uing all day.
 I started the treatment outlined in the pamphlet at the close of one such day, and have not been bothered since, except for 6 sreeze or two.
 The treatment has not yet eased the asthma, which bothers me in the night. However, 1t may yet do so, and If 1t doesn't I'm still ahead, since the sneezing handicapped me greatly during the day, whereas the asthma merely deprives me of some sleep. Anyway, l haven't in years had any expectation Of cur- ing the asthma.
 am deeply grateful to you and have passed the suggestion on to others suffering with hay fever and asthma. (K. R. T)
 Perhaps 1t is not made clear enough in the pamphlet Relief for Allergy" but to the best of my knowledge soluble potassium chlo. ride is not a cure for any Of the manifestations of allergy, but mere- ly symptomatic relief. It may relieve the more distressing symptoms of the attack, somewhat as adrenin (adrenalin) does--indeed 1t prob- ably supplements or complementa the action of the adrenin secreted by the patients own ductless glands
 So if I had allergy, say hay fever, hives, or asthma, I'd keep some soluble potassium chloride in my pocket and take dose when- ever a reaction occurred-a dose or if necessary several doses in the course of several hours, or a day or so. That is, if I had found any relief from it before. I would not continue taking the potassium chloride after the symptoms sub- sided.
 Instead, I'd take a good daily ra- tion of calcium and vitamin D right along for several months, or for the duration of the season if the trouble were hay fever. 1nstruc- tions for following 8 high calcium diet, and for taking calcium and vitamin D are given in "The Cal- cium Shortage" mailed on request if you provide a stamped envelope bearing your address.

From K. R. T.S letter 1t would seem that he has some difficulty of breathing, other than spasmodic asthma. Spasmodic asthma occurs in paroxysins or attacks, lasting hours, days or weeks, but after an attack subsidies or passes there is no difilculty in breathing in the in- terval between attacks. (Perhaps K. R. T. has emphysema (balloon- ing of air spaces of the lungs) or bronchiectasi (dilation of some of the smaller bronchial tubes), either of which condition would cause more or less constant difficulty in breathing, with more or less wheez- ing such as laymen regard as asthma" No reason why one sub- ject to either condition may not also have hay fever.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Become Q Cheese Hound

I have received tremendous benefit from "booping my calcium intake, as you suggested and now my chronic SinuSitis gives me very little trouble. l tried to take at least 6 pint of milk c day for the same pur- pose, but haven't been able to keep 1t up, because I'd rather take castor oil than milk. (Mrs. A. T. T.)
 Answer-Never mind the milk, then, for cheese is even richer in calcium. Investigate the cheese sit- uation. Everybody should eat more cheese, and especially those who do not care for milk.
