This is the first article of Q series of l2 on the. new bidding rules in the 1o4l Culbertson System, which will be officially published March l.
 The principal new feature of the Culbertson honor-trick table is this: When you have Q singleton or void suit in your hand, you count 1t as a "plus value" the same as you would count an odd queen or jack-ten in your hand.
 CuIbertson introduced this change because tt is easier for the average player to remember the same hon. or-trick requirements for bidding. and yet make Q distinction between hands of balanced distribution and unbalanced distribution. as the ex. pert does. Tn today's hand, employ. lrg plus value theory, experts would bid ono heart, as South did. but n one Of the small clubs were Q spade and with the same number Of high cards, most Of them would pass.
 Thoughtless play by South, and good defense by East, caused the game contract tO % down. South made lhe mistake Of covering Weftf allean 0f spades with dunalny'a klna and East lo0k the nee, Then East wisely shifted io the right snlt ana

sCarefree" makes perfect title for this new frock, Pattern 311. For though Claire Tilden has planned it especially for the mature figure. she has given it casual, youthful air that bellies years and inches. It's the sort of can't-do-without style that you'll slip into first thing in the morning and wear for market ing, for calling for the children at school, for running errands, for dropping in on a friend or just for about the house. The revers and optional tie-ends are very young and becoming = they may be in fresh contrast too. There are nice bloused lines through the bodice. held in trinly at the shoulders by darting. Don't miss the flattery of the skirt with its "upped" in front waist-seam that gives you slim lines and its front and back panel- ling. A belt comes from the sides of the front panel to tie neatly III back; little matching or contrasting half-cuffs are an optional but de- lightful finish for the short sleeves. Add buttons and ric-rac for gay extras" But whatever you do, get to work on this useful frock with. out deiay--afid use the New Chart to clATify every snip and gtitch.

RABIES AND PASTEUR
 TREATMENT

Clippings sent by many readers tell of the recent death of physi- cal training teacher in a metropol- itan high school, from what the health commissioner of that city calls "hydrophobia." The teacher was bitten by his pet dog, October 16. The dog. which he had taken to the A. s. P. c. A., died of rabies a few hours afterward. The man refused to take Pasteur treatment, and he died about two months later from what the medical examiner, after an autopsy, declared to be "hydrophobia."
 Two months is long period of incubation, far longer than any known germ or virus diseased has. Indeed, if the opinions of some doctors are to be accepted the in- cubation period may be year or even longer in some instances. Per- sonally I reject the notion that a serious germ or virus disease can have an incubation period of many months, and I question the accu- racy of a diagnosis or rather an opinion, for that is al lit can be in the present state of our knowl- edge, that rabies developed in the teacher fully two months after he was presumably infected or inocu- lated by the bite of his pet dog. Mind, this is merely my opinion what I believe to be true. Not that I know any more about rabies than the average doctor does or should know.
 The health commissioner was quoted as making these comments:
 "A certain medical columnist
 had repeatedly contended that no such disease Gas hydrophobia)
 exists, and there are persons
 among the laity who are of the
 same opinion. .. Of the hun-
 dred persons bitten by rabid dogs
 in this Gan eastern) city this year
 l940) 90 took the anti-rabic (Pas-
 teur) treatment and not one of
 them died. Every person who
 had been bitten by dog. cat or
 any other animal proven to have
 been rabid or by Q stray animal
 which cannot be located to deter
 mine it's condition. should take
 the anti-rablc treatment. The re-
 cent death certainly proves the
 reality and tragedy of rabies"
 Tragedy, indeed. Reality, no, at least not to my honest conviction, The tragic part Of it is that nobody KNOWS. You have to take rabies In man on faith alone. Doctors have been wrong in their theories or opinions 90 many times thet one can hardly accept every medical belief or opinion as correct just beealiee many doctors have accepted and do accept it,

-WE, THE WOMEN- Husbands: These Are Valuable Tips On Marital Diplomacy

with pride, he sholud occasionally say something that shows her many friends he admires and respects hel parents, or some other member oi her family who is close to her.
 If he wants her to think an even- ing is perfect, he should tell her al least once that she is the prettiest woman in the crowd.
 TOWARDS FEWER HALFWAY UNHAPPY WIVES
 If he doesn't want her to go into sulk because he has paid atten- tion to a good looking girl at a party, he should beat her to the off, fensive by razzing her goodnaturedly about the man who has been giving her a rush all evening.
 If he wants her to shine socially he should never question her know ledge of the correct thing to do.
 If he wants her to enjoy his com. panionship he shouldn't make i plain that he is going just to pleas' her.
 If all men knew just this mucf about women there wouldn't be st many halfway unhappy wives.

 New York-The age-old question of "career vS. family" is no problem at all to Novotna, of the Metropoh- tan Opera, one of the few opera stars who has successfully combined both.. Hailed as the most beautiful woman of the operatic stage of Eu- rope, Novot,la in private life is Mrs. George Daubek, the mother of two children.
 The family came to America from Czechoslovakia in the fall of 1889 not only because Novotna had sign ed contract with the Metropoli- tan Opera, but also because of the unsettled conditions in Europe. They wanted their children to grow up with the security of a free and democratic country. With Novot- ma, her family comes first. The Daubeks' children are daughter Jar mila, T, and George, Jr, aged ?. THE DAUBEKS'

 Novotna believes that play is as important in child's development as food, and both should be equal ly enjoyable. When she has after noon rehearsals or out-of-town con- certs. Novotna makes up for the loss of the play periods on Satur- days and Sundays.
 These are family days with each member participating in all the days activities = eating, singing games, walking in the park.
