. McKENNEY's BRIDGE QUIZ
Fine Play Needed to Make This Six Diamond Contract
BY WILLIAM E. MCKINNEY Amerlca'S Card Authority

Here is one of the most inter- esting hands have found this year. The wonderful thing about tourna- rnent bridge is that you don't have to win the championship to get @ lot of fun out of the game. If you give a bottom" to one of the ex- perts or make play such as Rich- ard Kaplan of Asheville, N. C., did in this hand, you really have some thing that makes you feel good.
 Let's consider the bidding. South doubled five diamonds and six dia- monds, therefore he is pretty well marked with the diamond king. North doubled four spades, which more or less marks him with the spade king.
 Young Richard Kaplan, com ing champion, was the declarer. He told me that it took him long time to study this hand. With the East cards, he decided that the only way he could make the hand would be to fool his opponents. So he care- fully ruffed tine king of hearts with the eight of diamonds, then played the queen of spades. When South played low, he went right up with the ace and le dback teh deuce of spades.
 You can see North's predicament. He figured that Kaplan had no more spades, and if he put up his king. he thought it would be trumped. So more or less correctly, he played a small spade and East won the trick with the nine spot.
 Of course Lasts contract stili isn't made unless he can tlnd South with just the kinR and one dln-

UAAAVNA9AA SSsS RAsNA@N on Q tour of inspection.
 That Is because tho woman isn't doing all the inspecting. The men who are working on the planes stop. or slow down their work, to do . little inspecting on their own part, and that slows down produc- ton which, of course, results In Q money loss to the Eactory.
 If that Is the case collectively, 1t must also be true of the individ- ual man that letting his attention be attracted by every looking woman he sees in the course of @ day is a costly habit.
 Take, for instance, the salesman who Is walking down the street planning just how to approach his next customer, when - swish - a pretty girfl in Q well-ftted dress hurries in front of him. He can't follow her with his eyes and go right on with his mental sales campaign It Is bound to throw him Tor a couple of minutes loss.
 BETTER THAN FLIRTING
 WITH A BRIGHT IDEA
 And then consider the business associates who are cooking up deal over a lunch table. A waitress whose starched uniform becomes her, Is bound to be something of Q dis- traction to them.
 And so 1t goes through Q mans day-distraction after pretty dis traction. The world will never know how many bright ideas slipped oil into nothingness just when they were forming because a pretty girl happened to walk into an office, cross a street, or step on an ele- vator-attracting the attention of a man who, until something better came along, had been flirting with a bright idea.
 But isn't 1t nice, girls, that the average man doesn't know or care just how costly is his second, ap- proving glance, that 1t is only the concern of efficiency experts whose numbers--we hope-are few?

MORE vITAMTNS,
 LESS CARBOHYDRATE

Lowering or lessening of "tone" (contractility, elasticity, resiliency) of the muscle coat of the entire gastro- intestinal tract, one of the oh ara c teristic manifestations of moderate vitamin B complex de- ficiency, from which most Amer jeans (rich and poor) suffer - due largely to displacement of whole wheat bread by refined white flour bread and crude brown sugar and molasses by refined white sugar and refined syrups in the American diet--accounts for the common te1- dency to eat more food than is re- quired to supply the daily calories. A larger amount of food must be taken to fill c flabby stomach com fortably than Is needed to fill coE1- fortably 6 stomach that has good "tone".
 There you are, stout folks.
 Carbohydrates (starches and sue gars) are the most plentiful, the cheapest, and the most delectable foods. They are so very easy to eat, too, even though you are not particularly hungry. A bit of candy, cake, ice cream, toast, cracker, sweetened beverage-if you decline to take anything at all your friends will be offended. You just have to eat or drink when eating or drink ing is the next order of business.
 Alas, too, the carbohydrates in oiir modern diet are deprived of any vitaf1ins they may have car- ried in their original or natural state-the vitamins are removed or destroyed in the course of refine- nent.
 So-darn it, this hurts me as much as 1t does you the more car- bohydrates you consume the less vi- tamins you get in your food.
 The less vitamins, especially VI. tamin B complex which naturally grows with or in carbohydrate foods, such as wheat = why, the more carbohydrate you crave.
 How come? Maybe this will only confuse you, but to my mind 1t seems e fairly satisfactory way to explain the vicious circle. Anyway & great many overweight individ- uals who have had try at some cut and dried reducing diet" and experienced only disappointment and failure have found that within a few weeks after they adopt the regular habit of supplementing their ordinray diet with an adequate vita- min ration they begin to get along comfortably with considerably less food than they have formerly de- manded, and that, my friends II really expect this bit of advice will make e lot of overweight readers my friends - is the secret of ra- tional reduction or weight control.
 Incidentally let me repeat that rapid reduction is never safe or de- sirable. A pound or two Q week is always best for good health, good looks and long life.

Glorityjmg Yourself
By ALICIA HART

fully as nature intended2 And she, too, is very likely to look passe be- fore she's thirty-at which age, dis covering her face Is fading, she ex- poets miracles of cosmetics.
 There's something in what both of them think, but each needs to Timber up her sense of humor by using 1t moreI That's the No. 1 prerequisite to ageless charm. If you doubt 1t, ask aa1ly keen-witted woman of forty whether THAT birthday wasn't fun, whereas at flf- teen she looked Up twenty five as the shelf!
 COSMETICS CAN'T DO WHOLE, JOB, BUT THEY'LL HELP Such a woman learns early and easily that it's perfectly true, no elixir, nor stimulating wriggle will permanetly restore wilted contour or & creased skin--but it's also true that the cosmetic counters and the beauty salons shelves are weighted down with things which will work wonders temporarily.
 They will keep us looking 3resher through the years. For instance one characteristic of the older skin is It's tendency to dryness, and just to cope with that, one outstanding house offers an extra-rich cream to lubricate both older and abnormal ly dry faces.
 Nature, fortunately, lets most of us live far beyond mere maturity. But lend a helping hand we must If we expect to stay attractive.
 So panper yourself intelligently. If beauty routines keep you young looking, well-groomed and lovely, then they are worth while. Of course, by all means do grow old peacefully, as peacefully as you can, that Is.
