Glorityimg Yourself

 No. Not you. You're going to 90 after some things that will make the pretty girls wish they had what you have.
 First of all, you are going to look the very best you can with what you have. You are going to study yourself more carefully than you've ever studied any subject be. fore. When you get through you'll know every one of your physical assets, and every one of your handi- caps.
 TELL YOUR SPIRIT
 BY YOUR WALK
 You1l decide how to make the best of both-and forget them. You'll realize, of course, that for any woman-and especially the woman whose face is not in the glamor class--a graceful body is a number one essential.
 Youu learn to walk beautifully, no matter bow many hours you must spend walking on an imag- mary GOT reaD line with 8 book on your head.
 You'll learn how to wear clothes with distinction.
 Then you1l learn how to please other people. don't mean you'll go around spreading TAttery as thick as you can. Far from 1t.
 I mean you'll learn how to be a really good friend. You'll become the kind of person who instinctively knows how to put others at ease, how to help without intruding.
 So, you're not a raving beauty. Well, what of 1t?

Opening-% 4.

The majority of players today are using strong no trumps; that is, their original bid of one no trump is not made with a weak hand. Of course, there are some players who advocate the weak no trump, and some who advocate bidding no trump with freak distribution, but the majority have good sound hand when they bid one no trump originally.
 This does not mean that you should necessarily bid one no trump with a strong hand. There should be a definite advantage to your side in opening the bidding with one no trump. Your hand should have even distribution-per- sonally like 4-3-3-H
 While the South hand shown today has plenty of strength and the proper distribution, an open ing bid of one no trump may pre- vent him from getting into the proper contract. He will do better to start with one club and then force on the next round.
 Over no trump opening by South, North will be hard put for a good response. Even if he chooses two clubs, 1t will be difi- cult to reach the club slam, be- cause North will imagine south'g raises assume that North has some high club honor. But when South opens with one club, there is time to And out that the club. holding ca both sides Is very strong. and that sonth's great Fehld strength plus Norlhs strong pattern are sufficient for the slam.

along just where they stand on the vacation question, and then stick by their decision, year after year.
 Somehow that doesn't make sense. It seems as though whether or not to take the small fry on a vacation should depend on a number of things, and should be question that might be decided one way one year, another the next.
 For instance, if the child or chil- dren are small and Papa has his heart set on spending his vacation fishing, the children ought to be parked. Otherwise both Mama and Papa will worry constantly about the possibility of the little darlings wandering to the waters edge and falling in, and Mama will find her. self staying home playing games with the youngsters while Papa fishes alone, or with some other fisherman.
 DECISION DEPENDS
 ON PARENTS PLANS
 However, if the kids are big enough to look after themselves on a back-to-nature trip, Mama and Papa might both enjoy teaching them to shoot, to fish, to paddle a canoe or whatever the place makes possible.
 Or, if a couple want to spend their vacation in a city taking in shows and having a little night life, children will only be bother, unless they are the self-reliant kind who can be tucked into a hotel bed and left alone at night while their parents get around.
 A lot also depends on the tenn perament of the parents. If they are nervous and high-strung and their children frequently get on their nerves, they had better leave them home if they want a real va- cation-no matter where they plan to go. It will probably give the kids a rest, too.

QUESTIONS and ANSWERS Salt in Hot Water

Please advise whether one should exclude salty things from the diet when one suffers from the extreme heat? (Mrs. H. L)
 Generally 1t is better to take extra salt in very hot weather, especially if you sweat much. It prevents heat exhaustion, makes water more refreshing, prevents heat cramps, etc. Take good pinch of salt along with very large drink of water or other beverage, when the weather is very hot or when you are exposed to great heat, either from the sun Or artificial heat.

PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE
 NOTES ON BREATHING

PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE ..
 NOTES ON BREATHING At rest or asleep one should breathe through the nose and keep ones mouth shut. There are some other occasions when one should keep ones mouth shut, as I have learned to my sorrow, but that has nothing to do with breathing. Running race one should breathe through the open mouth if one can get more air that way. In fact it is normal and natural to breathe through hte mouth as well as through the nose while putting forth extra ordinary effort in any work, play or exercise.
 Due to the studied ignorance of physiology in America most of our high school and college graduates do not know how to breathe. They have only vague notion in refer ence to the diaphragm and how it works. To dispel this widespread ignorance have two pamphlets, either of which I am glad to send free, on request, if the reader pro- videS stamped envelope bearing his or her address. The first deals with Belly Breathing" The second deals with "Resuscitation." If you ask for both, inclose ten cents in addition to stamped envelope bear- ing your address.

 The nostrils may be closed a. gainst entrance of water by in- serting plugs of non-absorbent cot- ton (cotton batting) or lambs wool, or pledgetS or absorbent cotton from which an excess of oil is squeezed. Some experienced swimmers and divers prefer to wear a rubberized spring-steel nose clip, which closes the nostrils as one might with thumb and finger, and is held in place by bows ove rthe ears or an elastic band around the head.
 Some old timers still maintain that prolonged exposure, as in rec naming in swimming more than half an hour, lowers the body tempera- ture and diminshes normal resis- tance to infection. They argue that, unlike aquatic birds or mammals, man has no blubber, fur or feather coat to keep his body from getting chilled in cold water. That is true enough, but 1t concerns only com fort, in my opinion, and I'd instruct my children to go in swimming whenever they wish and to remain in as long as they like. But then, my children are not mentally de- fective, as the old timers seem to
 think the general public must be.
