 ON BRIDGE
BY VIM. E. MCKINNEY America'S Card Authority

Many of you will recall the intro. d,iction of five-suit bridge few years ago. While do not believe that five-s,iit deck ever will be popular, the 65-card deck, did bring out the idea of widow in bridge. The possibility of bettering a hand through the exchange of a widow card Is certainly attractive and may conceivably some day become an in- tegral part of contract bridge.
 Capt. John M. Ellicott, U. s. N, retired. has invented form of con- tract with a widow, which may in- terest ,ny readers. He calls his game Super Contract Bridge"
 The rules are very simple. The Joker is added to the deck. At the end Of the deal the card left over Cit can be the joker or any other carD is turned face up.
 Bidding proceeds as in the regu- lar game, but is naturally influenced by the fact that the winning side will own the widow card. After the opening lead Is made and dummy is spread, declarer may swap the widow card for any card either in dummy or In his own hand. Or he may stand pat on his cards as dealt. The discard or rejected card is set aside, face up, and the hand played out with the 52 remaining cards.
 The joker is wild" card. If 1t Is led. the leader must specify what suit 1t calls for, and the other must follow If able. The joker may be played to a lead by another hand, even though the player is able to follow suit, and 1t wins the trick, as 1t ranks above the ace of any suit the owner chooses to designate.
 But 1t cannot be attached to any suit If the owner has previously dis carded on a lead of that suit. And If the joker is led as a plain-suit card at a trump contract, 1t can be won by a trump.
 The attractive aspect of Super Contract Bridge" Is the opportunity 1t gives for an indifferent hand to acquire greater power A hand with few top cards can become strong by the addition of the joker. And If the turn-up card is & high homer such a hand may be able. to outbid the opponents and build itself into a rcck-crushep.

Cnhtt OuAueS m DfoWlng Face
 Your fashion drawings published, bringing you good payi Skeptical friends or relatives may doubt you could get so far by teaching your self to draw--but 1t can be done. Even if you start out "cold" .-- unable to draw @ pretty face, vague about anatomy - Practicing with professional charts gives you an encouraging start. 1
 To draw a girls head in profile first rule a square and cut 1t in half horizontally. Note, in our dia- gram, how the girls eye is drawn right on this lire. Then you divide the square in half vertlcally-where the jaw begins--and place the car just behind this line.
 Here's another trick The base of the nose is on @ level with the base of the skull. You can draw another horizontal, almost halfway below the first one, to guide you.
 Just this simple type of guide line helps you block in graceful figures, too. You make them about eight heads high, place the waist line almost three heads down from top of head.
 Little tricks that may lead to big moneyl Our 24-pagc instruction book includes helpful charts for face and figure, shows you how to draw clothes, textures of different fabrics. Explains line and wash techniques, perspective, foreshorten- ing.

ORAL DYSPEPSIA

Likely one out of every ten per. sons who have been led to believe they have weak digestion" and do not "assimilate their food proper ly" really has oral dyspepsia, that Is, indigestion or deficient digestion in the mouth. The other nine are persuaded by the rostrum vendors to ascribe whatever ails them to poor digestion. If some of them do have a digestive deficiency 1t is usually a manifestation or result of and not the cause of their trouble.
 If an important part of the di- gestion of an ordinary meal does not occur in the mouth 1t does oc. cur from the action of the saliva upon the food. As an authoritative textbook physiological Basis of Medical Practice" (Best and Tay- lor) has 1t. "The rapid passage of the food through the mouth pre- cludes the possibility that 1t is act- ed on here by the saliva to any ap- preciable extent" Old timers as- stunned, and many still believe, that the action of the der1nent orenzyne ptyalin in the saliva, which con- verts starch into sugar, required an alkaline or neutral reaction and was terminated by the highly acid gastric juice as soon as the food was swallowed. The truth is that salivary digestion continues for a considerable time after the food enters the stomach, especially if the food has been well rnasticated, as all starchy foods Vegetables, cereals, breadstuffs) should. Incidentally 1t Is well to remember that such foods should be thoroughly chewed, whereas such foods as meat. fish and eggs may be wolfed in chunks If you like and will digest perfect ly.
 As much as 76 per cent of the starch in a mashed potato or bak. ed or boiled potato, or make mine French fried or julienne, please, is transformed into maltese (sugar) by the ptyalin in the stomach.
 Carbohydrates. of which starch is the most important, naturally con- stitute the chief source of calories In our diet.
 When we observe people gulping down food in a busy beanery or quicklunch with just enough inas- tication to enable the iflorsel or mass to pass through the gullet without choking, we can only mar vel at the punishment the digestive organs can take.
 When we observe people limping through life with one, two or several teeth missing-not because they can't afford the service of a dentist but because they are too stupid to understand how necessary 1t is to have 8 functionally efficient den- ture of one kind or another to car- " on the Inasticating work of the missing tooth or teeth-we do not wonder why such people almost in- variably develop nutritional dis turbances that have their origin In faulty digestion. ,...

is largely the cause of these condi- tions.
 Salad greens, green vegetables, fresh fruit, milk and meat in lib- eral amounts are good sources of this important vitamin. But these sources are relatively expensive for families on low food budgets. One of our national problems is to find cheap and plentiful source of Wtamin B1 (Thiamin).
 WHEAT GERM CHEAP
 Dr. Henry Borsook, professor of biochemistry, California Institute of Technology, offers solution. The problem of finding a cheap rich source of thiamin and the rest of the vitamin B complex, can be solved" he says, "by the use of the wheat grain which millers call, the scalp of the sizings' or "middlings plus germ This cereal is prob- ably the cheapest natural food source of the vitamin B complex. It can be cooked as porridge or baked in bread mullins, scenes, etc. For something under two cents per day per person, 1t provides an op- timum amount of vitamin Bl in palatable form"
 Dr. BorSook gives this advice to women's committees on defense through nutrition. He says that by prodding your local grocer and by being persistent about 1t. you can make him get these "scalp of the sizings' from local miller.
 ENGLISH MEET PROBLEM
 To point out the importance of vitamin Bl from a national view point, pr. Borsook states in his new book: "In July 1940, the English government decided to fortify white four with crystalline thiamin in such quantities that the daily per capita intake of that vitamin will be increased by approximately 100 International Units. This is very significant decision for a number of reasons. For the first time In the history of the world, the govern ment of a great country has recog- nized by law the necessity of sup- plying vitamin as well as simply gross food for a whole population.
 Equally important is the rccog- hilton by government that dietary improvement by the educational process Is slow and haphazard. Thirdly, a government has embraced the principle of fortification of a staple foodstuff for whole nation.

 A. Less strength is required to make a responding bid, for respon- der knows that partner has strength enough fnI an opening bid.
 e. What can I do with an adoles- cent daughter who centers all her attention. effection, admiration and devotion on one girl friend?
 A. Adolescent "crushes" are very common, and usually can be looked upon as normal phase of develop ment. Fortunately, most of these sit- uations are self eliminating and if managed wisely, they do no harm The family must be tolerant and not give the impression by word or deed that they are prosecuting either party. They may judiciously intro- duce other young people into the home life, or arrange a visit that would temporarily separate the two. Whatever the plan, it will require nice judgment and much tolerance and patience. but 1t will be wortN the effort. 5t
