 Now declarer decided to finesse the heart, but East turned up with the queen of hearts, and cashed two good diamonds, setting the contract. With normal play, South was bound to make four spades. His claim to Beynon was that the episode of the king of hearts cona- pletely threw him off on the hand, and therefore, he should have a neutral score. The director ruled the hand had to stand as played.

One mother we know persuaded her 13-year-old daughter to eat more sensibly by letting the child learn more about food and cook ing. The little girl became fanil- for with the caloric content of var ious dishes; she kept calory chart in the kitchen and, after each meal. wrote down the number of calories consumed. At the end of each day, the score was added.

Hollywood = The clothes worn these days at the Hollywood Park Race Track mark a new high in fashions for filmdom. Not as na- tionally famous as Santa Anita, Hollywood Park is the. haunt of the younger film folk. Young styles highlight the boxes and grandstand and will be found at this track for the next two months of its season.
 Most noticeable this week was the rage for a new yellow-an off-shade with greenish cast, not to be con- fu5ed with chartreuSe. It turned up in suits, coatS,' dresses, hats and accessories and appears to be stamped as the newest color for West Coast wear.
 Jean Parker.s plaid fitted jacket featured this yellow combined with black, and her straight skirt and large casual felt hat were both of solid yellow.
 Geraldine Fitzgerald used this rather daring shade more subtly. On her sheer gray woolen frock- cut slenderIy through the waist, with inverted pleats back and front for skirt fullness- s-she had a wide, notched collar and deep cuffs of yellow linen. With 1t she wore a big gray straw sailor with a yellow band.
 Auburn haired Margaret Hayes went for the new yellow with 8 vengeance. Her classic gabardine suit was unbroken yellow, her -throated silk shirt and huge o6-the-face hat were brilliant green.

 within the past few weeks sev- eraf mothers and couple of aunts' who have young nieces staying with them for the summer, nave written for advice on what 10 do about the adoleseent girl who IS greatly overweight.
 First of all, the 12-year-old who Is 20 or 30 pounds Overwelgiat should be taken to 8 family doctor for a complete physical examina- ton. This is important. It Is g mistake for the layn1an to try 70 prescribe treatment.
 After the physical examination -unless the doctor advises other wise - no-eating between -1neals rule should be strictly enforced. If between meal nibbling there must be, let 1t be nibbling on or anges or celery or raw carrots rath- CT than on cakes, cookies or candy CUT DOWN ON
 SWEETS, LIQUIDS
 The child should not be allowed to have dessert more often than once day. Candy ought not to be eaten more often than once a week until she has lost the nec- essary number of pounds.
 Three glasses of milk and three of water ought to be Q sufficient amount of liquids per day. The matter of liquids should be dis cussed thoroughly with the doc tor, of course.
 Do not encourage plump chil- dren to cultivate a taste for high ly seasoned foods or fried dishes And do make summer salars so tempting that they will eat huge ones for lunch instead of Starches and sweets.
 !. Meanwhile, encourage them to run and play and swim and be active.

Made of jersey in wide red and white stripes, her dress had a set- in belt, surplice neckline and wrap round skirt.

 Much more formal was the dress worn by brunette Brenda Marshall Stripes, too, in. black and white jersey for the knife -pleated skirt covered all over with huge, bril- liant red roses. Her long-waisted bodice was black jersey, with one of the huge red roses appliqued on her right shoulder.

|Cannonading at Sea

Battle Off Brazil
Seorehlights Reported
In Sky as Thunder
Of Gunfire Is Heard
BY E. NJ. CASTRO,

sssoclhIeu fIeSS rOrelkn Correspondent
MARAGOGY, Brazil, Oct. g.
Sounds of heavy cannonading at sea,
reported by fishermen at Maceio
over the week end, led to belief here
today that unidentified ships which
apparently fought a Commute bat
tie of the coast Friday had come to
grips again.
The report from Maceio, some so
miles south of Maragogy, said the
beams of searchlights were clearly
seen stabbing the sky Saturday
night, while thunder, as of gunflre,
rolled in from the sea.
Running Battle Believed Fought.
Residents of this town of 5000,
many of whom said they saw ships
off the coast Friday evening, when
similar sounds were heard, were con-
vinced that a running battle had
been fought.
Former Mayor Ayres Costa, COM
menting on the Friday incident
| declared
II haven't the slightest doubt
that this was a naval combat, as
shots characteristic of a cannonade
were clearly heard by all the popu-
lace"
Some residents said they heard as
many as 80 separate shots over a
period of half-hour. Jose Bispo
Maragogy fishermen, asserted that
after hearing the first shots Friday
he climbed a low hill in an attempt
to get better view of the sea.
Smoke Seen From Vessel.
The firing had ceased when he
reached the top of the hill, Bispo
said, but he saw one ship about 20
miles to the southeast and a col
umn of smoke from another vessel
| further away.
The nearest vessel was reported
moving southwark, and Costa said II
apparently was being pursued by
the other, which. after attacking
halted the combat because they were
approaching the shore"

Housewives who hoard food and
generally any one who opposes the
pending price control legislation
were criticized as 'unpatriotic' and
lacking in historical sense when Mrs.
Roosevelt frankly turned her press
conference into promotion for price
control.
Introducing Miss Harriet Elliott,
associate administrator of the Office
OF Price Administration, Mrs. Roose-
welt said she had asked Miss Elliott
to attend the conference because the
White House had received so many
letters asking what could be done
about the rising cost of living.
Responding Immediately that
nothing could be done without the
price control legislation, Miss Elliott
did suggest that if one store was
obviously profteering housewives
might do their shopping at another
store.
Opposition's Arguments.
Mrs. Roosevelt asked who would
be opposing price control legisla-
ton and was told by Miss Elliott
that the opposition contended the
measure would result in control OF
business and Government interfer-
ence with profits.
Commenting that people who felt
that way have mo historical sense"
Mrs. Roosevelt said that anyone
who studies what has happened be-
fore recognizes that if prices are
allowed to run riot they will come
down some day with bang"
Asked what the housewife should
do when she has been told by a
salesman that prices are going up
shortly, Miss Elliott declared that
the only women who can take ad-
vantage of such tip to hoard are
those who have funds at their dis
posal and don't have to wait weeks
for a pay check.
Those who bought under such
circumstances to beat rising prices
when they had no immediate use for
the goods were ''unpatriotic," she
said and unfair to the people who
couldn't buy then.
Miss Elliott Urges Control.
Arguing for price-control legisla-
ton, Miss Elliott commented that
although the quantity of food is
greater now than it was a year ago,
If the prices keep going up, the low
income groups will suffer from food
shortage.
Until there is price control, she
said, the Office of Price Administra-
ton cannot police every community
for profiteering and local commit
tees will have to do their best to
take care of 1t.
The White House for one is not
changing its food-buying habits and
Mrs. Roosevelt thought the bills
would be affected more by the num-
Der of people in the house than by
the rising prices. Except for Off
cial parties-ones to which members
of both political parties are invited
Or official receptions, the Presi-
dent pays for all food used in the
Executive Mansion.
Views on Religion In Russia.
Asked to comment on the religion
in-Russia controversy, Mrs. Roose-
welt remarked that people could 60
to church in Russia, hut that oppor-
tunities for training religious leaders
were nil She thought it was pos
sibility that as education progressed
IN Russia, the people would want
to make more decisions for them
selves.
When a reporter declared that
part of Russian education was
toward despising religion, Mrs
Roosevelt commented that she had

she termed political lines.

fense was getting along, Mrs. Roose-
welt said that working with other
people was a little more difficult
than merely deciding for herself
what she would do tomorrow.
