 And don't hurry! Count ten or more as you rise and face your au- dience-smilingly.
 You'll remember every point, too, with a few notes to remind you. (But don't try to memorize-that's how to forgetD Just consult your notes when you wish.

For the first time since the Cul- bertson System was introduced morS than 12 years ago, jack-ten-x is az good as queen-x-x in the require ments for raising your partners suit.
 Another change this year which applies to raises of your partners suit is this: You need slightly less strength Gone honor-trick) to raise when you have four-card trump support than you need when you have only three-card trump sup port (one-plus nor-trick.
 South's bidding in todayis hand was very fine. After North aban- doned hearts and raised diamonds, South divined that North had only three hearts. He knew major suit game might be easier to make than game at diamonds, but he also knew it would be much more dAn- gerous if there were 8 bad trVp break, and he preferred the sa1er five diamond contract.
 After taking the spade King, West led the spade ace and South trumped. South played the dia- mond king, led diamond to dummy's queen, and hastened to lead the last spade from dummy to ruff with his last trump. If he had drawn trumps at once he would have gone down, as he would have lost that spade trick.
 Now South led low heart to dummy's ten. East took the ace and led a club, but South put up the club ace, put dummy in with the heart jack, drew the last trump. and ran his two last hearts to make eleven tricks in all.
 A four-heart contract could nsE have been made.

 Your advice to eat three or four ounces of wheat germ daily is likely to do much harm. There is toxic principal in wheat germ and too much is harmful.

Non- sense, son, any amount of wheat germ, if it is fairly fresh, is whole some food for any one.

GIOrifing Yourself
my AMcis Hart
NFA Service Stan Writer

NEA Service Stam WrAter
 Miami Beach, Fla.-Whether she's wearing a day or an evening dress, inc woman whose costume is simple always is smarter than one who looks 'tall dressed up with no place to go."
 The swimmer who goes to the beach in a simple bathing suit, plain rubber cap and shoes and a beach robe and bag which depend m line and color rather than trimmings for their beauty is more attractive than one who baskS in the sunshine in a fusSy suit, frou-frou cap, frilly beach robe and shoes with too many bows.
 REACH CLOTHES THAT
 ARE FUNCTIONAL
 Jewelry, however lovely, somehow looks out of place on beach or beside a swimming pool. Beach clothes which aren't functional as well as beautiful make no sense at all. The beach bag that cannot be closed tightly to keep the sand out of the suntan oil, the bathing cap which won't keep your hair dry, the beach robe that won't keep you warm if you are chilly after swim-of what use are these?
 It makes equally little sense to wear sports dresses with skirts so narrow that walking is difficult; dance desses so long and trailing that you cannot dance in them; walking shoes too tight or too open for walking comfort; or to carry day bags that won't hold what you must carry with you and still hold their shape.
 DON'T LET YOUR
 JEWELRY DRIP
 Once she is completely dressed, the smart woman stands before full-length mirror and decides what should be eliminated rather than what other pins, earrings or gadgets to put on. She knows that the right amount of jewelry can be most ef- fective, that too much creates an illusion of fussiness.
 With a flower hat she would rather pin a single fresh flower on her lapel than 8 large corsage. Flowers, like jewelry, are best when worn with restraint. Flow CTS in the hair and flower brace lets can be charming with an eve ming dress. But flowers in the hair, in a mass on the shoulder and on wrists are too much of something or other.
