. McKENNEY's BRIDGE QUIZ
Champion Displays Expert Technque to Win This Hand
BY VIM. MCKINNEY America'S Card Authority

At the end of the first session in the recent national open team-of- four contest, the new champions had won 20 out of 28 matches. At the end of the second session they had added 20 more victories to their score, giving them total of 40 out of 58. In the final round they won 16 out of 30.
 It was interesting to witness the terrific drive of the runer-up team consisting of E. R. Thomas, Jr., James Sheern, A. R. Dick and c. w. Potts, all of Philadelphia.
 This team was in last position at the beginning of the final round and climbed all the way to second place by winning 20 1-2 matches out of 30. This is the same team that won the national amateur team of-four championship at Asbury Park last August.
 Today's hand was won not only by the new champions, but by the runers-up as well, as result of very nice play. Louis Newman of Washington made the play on the champion team.
 On the opening lead North'S ace won the trick. Newman realized that to tackle the hearts would probably let West in, whereupon a club lead would be embarrassing If the defense held two heart shoppers, this line would probably be fatal.
 With seven top card tricks Newman decided to go after an ex- | tra diamond for teh eighth trick An even break in spades would give him the ninth without the risk oi

It Takes More Than GlamOr To Make a Proper School Teacher In These Times
pecting another.

Sine. this is true, it would seem that school boards and school su- perintendents who choose the teach CTS for the young people of their community would be concerned about finding the most intelligent, capable teachers that they can find among educated loyal Americans.
 But are they?
 'PEPPY" TEACHERS
 FOR TIMES OF PERIL
 Well, here are what school super intendents in Iowa want in their women teachers-according to the head of the Placement Bureau at Iowa State Teachers College.
 They want teachers who aren't fat, who walk briskly but don't stride, who are poppy" and who (most important of alb don't smoke.
 This is 1941. Men, women and children in civilized countries are playing hide-and-seeg with dive bombers. No one knows whether democracy, as We know it today, will survive. The future of every boy and girl in this country is insecure. Hard, perhaps desperate times are ahead
 And yet we are still choosing our young folks teachers on the basis of a nice figure, poppy personality, and no "bad habits"

FUNCTION OF SALIVA

FUNCTION OF SALIVA
 The rapid passage of the food through the mouth q quote. from Best & Taylor,s Physiological Ba- sis of Medical Practice, 193D pre- cludes the possibility that it is acted on here by the saliva to any ap- preciable extent.
 Starlingis Human Physiology" (1936) says the main function of the saliva is to moiSten the food and facilitate its mastication and deglution = chewing and swallow ing to you, MT. Jones.
 The saliva contains a digestive enzyme called ptyalin which, If given time, converts starch into sugar-its action may be demon strated by holding some boiled or baked potato in the mouth for Sev- eral moments, and then testing for sugar (with Fehling's solution) |. The ptyalin converts starch into maltese and dextrin; the maltese is not absorbed, but must be later further converted into dextrose in the intestine, by the combined ac. tion of ptyalin Gin the mouth and for Q limited time in the stomach after the food is swallowed and be- fore the stomach acidity becomes strong enough to stop the ptyalin action, and maltaSe Gan enZyme in the pancreatic juice); only when converted finally into dextrose (glucose) in the intestine is the food absorbed.
 There is probably a good deal of truth, at least food for thought, in the observation quoted from Best & Taylor The way we wolf our food, on The run, always n hurry to get back at our loafing, and wash it down with one beverage or another or even dunk it before put ting 1t into the mouth at all, the ptyalin doesn't get much chance to work. and neither do the other functions of the saliva. Other func- tions, which you have probably for gotten, are CD preparation of the food for swallowing by rnoistening it SO it can be rolled into a plastic mass and lubricating the mass; {; l CD diSsolving bits of the food so they may stimulate the taste buds (besideS the pleasure this gives, it promotes better digestion further along the digestive tract, as we shall see later); (3) constant rins- ing of mouth and teeth, keeping them cleaner than any artificial mouthwaSh or dentrifice possibly can-f the saliva is normal; (4) moistening and lubricating mouth, tongue, throat and lips, keeping them pliable and resilient for clear articulation-this action, if the sa- iva is more effective than frequent sips of water for the public speak CT or singer; (5) excretion of pois- onS in certain circumstances (to be mentioned presently; and (6) reg ulation of water balance in the body (remember, ordinarily about l 1-2 quarts ot saliva daily in the normal quantity, and the amount Of saliva secreted is subject to wide variations.
 The old reliable, Howell,s 'Text- book of Physiology" C33) gives the view now more generally accepted: Our recent increase in knowledge shows that some of the food in an ordinary meal may remain in the fundic (upper) end of the stomach for an hour or more untouched by the acid secretion. There is every reason to believe, therefore. that salivary digestion may be carried on in the stomach to an important extent"

 Food is strength. Today, when every American citizen must take his part in making this nation so strong that it can resist attack from any or all enemies, the women of the country, who buy, prepare, and serve the family food, have vital and patriotic duty on their shoul- ders.
 What can the individual house. wife do in this great democratic drive to build up the strength of the nation? First, she must learn the fundamentals of nutrition Second, apply them to her own family budgets and menus. Third form neighborhood or community clubs whose purpose is to study local markets, possible attempts at profiteering in essential foods, and other such questions.
 In a special food and national de- fense issue of the Consumers Guide, issued by the Consumers Council Division of the Department of Agriculture, eight specific jobs for such women's groups are briefly stated

The so-called signs of age" which altogether too many women have twenty-five or thirty years be- fore they actually are old, are in most instances, symptoms of neg lect, poor health and emotional ex- ceSses.
 Doree Smedley reminds women of this fact in a new and interesting way in her recently published book, "You're Only Young Twice" The book not only describes. Mrs. Smed- leys experiences in being transform ed from an unattractive woman in- to a really attractive one, but out lines common sense steps to be fol- lowed by anyone who wants to do herself over in sane, satisfactory way.
 PICKERING AFFECTS
 YOUR BEAUTY
 Gray hairs and wrinkles can be brought about at almost any age by an unbalanced diet and prolonged nervous Strain-aS witness the case of young prisoners in concentration camps, men and women held for questioning in court trials. and the mother whose child is Kidnapped and held for ransom" the author ex- plains. "The signs of age that dis | figure people in these situations are actually signs of deterioration due to excessive strain. Age has nothing to do with it.
 "Too often this is the truth about the unlovely changes in a woman during middle life. Her sins, such as the daily habit of pickering and quarreling with people around her, teh overindulgence ill certain foods to the exclusion of others, the prac- tice of remaining indoors for weeks and months at a time without get- ting enough sunshine and, in some cases, of working the point of exhaustion in a profession, bus mess or even while running home these are the things that catch up with her, rather than her years. |" YOU'RE AS YOUNG AS YOUR ATTITUDE Mrs. Smedley goes on to say that another critical element is a Wo- mans basic attitude toward life in general.
 You are as young or as old as your response to living. When you are struggling, working. reaching out for new pleasures, you are as young as the youngest creat- ure alive.
