9 McKENNEY oN BRIDGE

BY VIM. E. MCKINNEY Amerlca's Card Authority

On the train from Salt Lake City to San Francisco, while Waldemar von zedtwitz and I were playing backgammon, Mrs. McKenney ki- bitzed gin rummy game. She asked the players If they played bridge M' II. Do Vota, Q shoe buyer for an Oakland department store, replied he did play bridge occasionally
 We then asked if he would like to play rubber or two with us' A good round of laughter accom- panied our introductions, but De Vota insisted he wanted Q game with us, SO we agreed to play at 0 very low stake.
 When the game was over, pc Vota asked us to autograph the score cards. He ] d won 10 cents, which he said he was going to frame, We found he played a good game-today's hand, which came up during one of the rubbers, proves It.
 De vota, sitting South ruffed the second spade lead. He led Q low trump to the jack and led dummy's third spade, which he ruf7ed with the ace of trumps. Then he cashed a second high trump and led the ten of clubs.
 West, not suspecting what the declarer was up to, played low on the club, hoping that East held the queen. But the ten held and on the next club lead West was forced Tn. Now he had no exit that would not relieve declarer of the guess Of the two-way heart finesse.
 Such a hand is easy to play at double dummy, but 1t takes a lively imagination in actual play to ind a way to avoid making mere guess how to tackle the hearts.

half of them, with open toes. Now, seventy-five per cent of both his daytime and his evening models are closed.
 The question Is: who wants Q toeless shoe in winter and maybe no stocking either7 It Is true that you'll see new open-toed shoes on the foot and in the shops; one of the swanliest and finest 2s c sculp- tured step-in with Q lovely scroll at the topline. But it shows less toe than such shoes used to. And Q style bureau that forecasts for the manufacturers also. says; less open toes.
 Displays and ads echo this sort of thinking among the makers of shoes in many prices. You'll 'ao- tice as many low as high heels m dressy and casual shoes.
 SHOES MADE FROM
 AMERICAN MATERIALS
 Dress shoes have feminine, even dressmaker details. One pump Of faille and light suede hes a striking reversed bow. Tn another, suede 10 crushed and draped like velvet at the vamp. Dinner shoes with round -tte ankle ties and the lignt- ness of Q ballet dancers gre pre- dicted.
 The tweeds. and tailored shoes heel is coming down c bit, too, even when it's not flat. There's great variety in these heel shapes. Many of the models accent elaSticized cloth quality.
 Something else is changing shoes. The market and supplies are changing. Designers who imported alligator, silver and gold kids and damaSlSs have turned to good Amer lean leather-ard they are liking 1t, especially Alnerica's wonderful calf and It's fane-grained feathers like pigSkin.
 Instead of the famous bootmak. CTS tan, which came from England, the carriage trade will wear an American leather called antique. It Is calf, finished with black polish and shlned to a subtle sheen. This is shown In moderate e-priced shoes also, and 1t is worn with green and rust cost tunes. For that mat. ter, Q good number of green and wine shoes are being made.
 It looks as if the genuinely ele- gant, airy foot Is coming Into it's own. And, you know, c foot can be graceful regardless Of It's meas urements. In fact, any foot looks smarter when It's comfortably shod.

VITAMINS ARE FOOD, NOT MEDICINE

Familiar manifestations of aribo- AaVinosis-lnSufiicient Vitamin G. are peculiar soreness of the lips with maceration and Assure In the corners of the mouth, and oily ace cumulations in the folds between the nose and lip, associated, in some instances, with congestion of the eyeball around the cornea and inflammation or perhaps alteration of the cornea.
 Familiar manifestations of insuf- flcient intake of nicotinic acid (this Is another of the entities of the vitamin B complexl are mouth in- fiammation, diarThea, dermatitis (skin rash resembling old sunburn) and various neurotic disturbances.
 Familiar manifestations of insuf- fieient intake of thiamin (vitamin BD, still another entity of the B complex, are somewhat too gloom erous to mention in Q health col- umn but they may be generally inc dicated as disturbances of motor complaints commonly called "neu.. rasthenia".
 Probably deficiency of any one of these factors rarely or never occurs without more or less deficiency of the others, since all of the entities occur grouped together in the vita min B complex in foods. But some- times 1t happens that the manifes- tations of one or another of these specific deficiencies constitute the chief complaint or the obvious trouble. The proportions in which the several entities occur in differ ent foods vary more or less. For example there. Is more nicotinic acid in wheat than there is in corn hence wheat is a better preventive against pellagra than corn. Egg or egg yolk contains considerable vita min c (ribohavin), but egg white Is the only food in which vitamin c occurs without vitamin Bl, (thi- amin). Milk and cheese are rich in vitamin G (riboflavin) lean pork is rich in vitamin Bl (thiamin).
 The best sources of nicotinic scid (which prevents pellagra) are milk, fresh lean meats, liver and dried yeast (brewer's yeast, not the yeast used for baking bread). A form of dried brewers yeast in powder has been sold by groceries in the south for a few cents pound, and a daily ration of a tablespoonful or two of this, taken in cold milk or tomato juice will prevent and cure pellagra.
 It should be fairly evident that 1t is rarely if ever advisable to take any pure vitamin factor, such as thiamin. picotinic acid or ribofiavin alone. These should be left for spe- cial use in large doses, perhaps by injection into the vein or hypoder- mically, by the physician, in emer- gencies. But there is never, so far as I can learn. any harm in the layman taking the natural or entire vitamin B complex, whether in food or in concentrate form, If there is any reason at all to suspect that the functional trouble or the signs may be due to insufficient vitamin intake. Further, 1t is better, if one is going to take vitamins at all to be sure to err on the side of taking an excess rather than to take too little, especially in the first few weeks of vitamin feeding. Remem- Der. vitamins are food, not medicine.
