---WE, THE WOMEN----- Women Can Learn to Be Useful By Taking a Teachers Course

These young women have given the word useful" a more practical meaning than the women who thought of 1t only in terms of learn ing to drive an ambulance or fly an airplane.
 THEY'LL BE PREPARED TO LEARN A LIVING
 If war comes and the husbands of these young women are called into the army, Uncle Sam will cor- sider the women useful If they have prepared themselves so that they can earn a living for themselves and their children.
 If the conditions that exist in England today should ever exist here ard city children are taken from their homes and herded to- gether for salty, ths young women will find themselves actively en- gagged in national defense.
 Even If they are never called on to use their training outside their homes, they will be better mothers for having had 1t.
 These young women have chosen @ sure way of making themselves useful" Other women could find just as practical solutions to the problem If they put their minds to it
The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-10-29

II V Q OpeTHs Nutn MIuetL tive School for Teachers, in New York, has noticed a great increase in the number of young, married women who are registering this fall for Q years course in teachers training.
 The secretary of the school, pr. Randolph B. Smith, explains 1t like this; Apparently certain foresight ed married women have suddenly become aware of the desirability of having some specialized professional training of their own to meet any future eventuality and lock upon tranirg for work in progressive nursery, kindergarten, and clement ary schools as an unusually attrac- tive opportunity.
 Particularly does this seem to be true in the case of married women who are also parents of young chill dren and who want particularly the kind of professional training which includes not only extensive class room experience with children, but also contact with the variety of community resources and agen cles which must be effectively mobilized to meet any possible emergency"

. MeKENNEY's BRIDGE QUIZ
Bidding systems Featured in New Books on Bridgs
BY WILLIAM E. MCKINNEY America's Card Authority

After many travels from coast to coast this year, I found that there were several new books out on bridge. During my vacation the lat- ter part of September, had 8 chance to look some of them over, and thought I would tell you about their various points of interest. For example, here is a hand from Handbook on the Theory and Play of Championship Contract Bridge" by Harold E. Simmelkjaer.
 This book advocates a point count bidding system, with opening suit bids of one, two or three made to show the maximum strength of the hand. That accounts for the opening two-bid with the South hand, which in the most widely played systems, is below par for e two-bid.
 The authors comment on this hid- ding is: "An example of a fine sign- |off." A commendable feature of the book Is that 1t discusses how not to bid game, as well as how to bid game.
 South has to play well to make even his contract of three spades. He wins the opening lead and starts the tyumps. West ls in with the ace. and snould Ind hls best defense hy

Newest beauty-gadget is a tip for the woman who does her own mani cure at home. It help nails in any Of nine different styles. The device Is supposed to discourage cutting low at the corners-which Is a boon, any way it's accomplished, because cutting corners does contribute to breaking.
 The nine styles are variations on the themes of pointed nails and round nails. And there's also @ V- tip for very slender fingers.
 IF FINGERS POINT,
 YOU'RE IMPULSIVE
 Smart tips on the fingers are the envy of almost every woman who doesn't own them-but they shouldn't be, necessarily. It's a mi- take to file pointed fingertips to sharp, claw-like points. These are not for naturally pointed hands.
 Pointed fingers are supposed to indicate an impulsive nature; spatu- late fingers are generally thought to denote practical capability. With the latter, unless broad nails are shap- ed correctly. the hands will seem to short and chunky looking. If nails are filed reasonably short at the sides, with the center portions left long but not pointed, the fingers will appear to be longer, slenderer than they actually are.
 EXPERIMENTATION IS
 ONLY SURE GUIDE
 Polish should be started at the edge of the moon and be carried downward the full length of the nail with only a hairlire at the tip removed.
 The nall of a conlc fingertip, not too pointed, should be filed into an oval shape with the faintest suggestion of point. The comic nall is supposed to signify crea- tive nature.
 There's only one best-way to have nails rightly shaped and pol- sihed. That's to do a little exper- imenting for yourself with them.
