BY WILLIAM E. MCKINNEY
 America's Card Authority

Peter Leventritt of New York paired with Mrs. William E. Mo- Kenney to win the open pair cham pionahip at the recent southeastern sectional championship in Florida. Leventritt's power of concentration helped him count today,s hand down for a top score.
 Two rounds of hearts were led, Leventritt in the North position trumping the second. He led a trump, East winning and returning another heart, which Leventritt rIiRed. A second round of trumps disclosed the bad break.
 Nevertheless, Leventritt led all his trurnps to exhaust West. Dum- nayS first discard was the five of diamonds, and then the last heart when East saved a heart.
 Next the ace and king of dia- monds were cashed a low club to the ace followed, then 8 low club return. Dummy ducked' with the eight-spot, and West was forced to give dummy the last two tricks.

WAR NEED NOT SPOIL a Brides By MRS. GAYNOR MADDOX
 NEA Service Staff Writer

Despite the war, Spring brides should plan to have a delightful reception. It need not be expensive, but it should be lovely.
 An afternoon reception, around four o'clock, is smart, convenient and probably the least expensive, according to Margery Wilson, au- thority on etiquette.
 Make it a stand-up affair, With finger food. You can easily accom- modate fifty guests at surprisingly low cost" adds this author of "The Woman You Want to Be-" a guide to successful living and entertain ing. Have pink and white for your color scheme in both food and decoration. For the wedding cake, have spray of roses Surmounting the cake, placed on a piece of card board right on the top of the cake

THE BOY WHO TRIED FOR
 WEST POINT

WEST POINT
 Sixteen years ago wrote you (says a letter dated May II, 19S2) concerning a precious six months old boy who had bowlegs. It all turned out as you said-his legs did straighten out perfectly. Today the boy is trying to get into the U. S.. Military Academy at West Point. He won the first alternate appoint Inent when he graduated from high school. But he is much perturbed lest he fail on account of his stature. He is just 5 feet 3 inches tall. His father is five feet 2 Ia inches and I am five feet inches tall. The military academy authori. ties seem shocked at the boys low stature. Is there any hope of iil- creasing his stature now? (Signed by the boys rnother).
 I forget what the minimum height was then for boys entering West Point, but I offered the moth- CT these suggestions:
 1. A course of insulin treatment by his physician.
 2. Perhaps ductless gland hor- none treatment, also under his physicians control. Such harmone treatment has brought a b o u t marked growth in height in many instances where growth was re- tarded in childhood and the teens.
 I can't understand now why I said nothing about the importance of supplementing the boys diet with plenty of vitamin D and seeing that he exposd his naked body to sunlight.
 3. The boy should receive 6 large daily ration of vitanin D, preferably along with some vita min B complex, to supplement hts diet.
 4. He should expose his naked skin to sunlight every day, to acc quire and keep a coat of tan.
 To those suggestions I appended the hope that Mother would not wait sixteen years to tell us about the result. Well, I haven't heard 8 word from her, and 1t is now ten years since the boy tried for West Point
 Did he make the grade? If he did, may we share your pride in the boy, Mother? If he didn't, well, any, way, his failure to grow was not his fault.
 Not only for normal growth in stature, but for normal physical de- velopment and sound, steady nerves, all growing children, es-

ANASEA IVA NANS SVeSAA
 Mothers new summer makeup will be much more subtle than the hamboyant shades her daughter is wearing this season.
 Unless she is mighty young mother, she will avoid those exotic shades that go with the blazing pinks and yellows and purpleS and tangerines which are going to worn so much. These, for instance the South American hues conceded by orc fine house for the costume hues we've borrowed from the southern continent, are wonderful for a wo- man of naturally high color.
 But softer tones will be more flattering to the mature skin. There are rose tones which compensate for the loss of natural rosiness, and make the face appear to bloom again.
 Some light, slightly lavender reds might be particularly nice with white or bluish gray hair. The house which makes the brilliant reds also makes a new face powder that should interest her. It imparts an exceedingly fine film-like texture to the skin by reason of being pull verized and mixed so that the par ticles are the minutest and the color ingredients are mixed to re- markable consistency.
 WOMEN PAST FORTY

pecially in their early teens, should receive 6 daily ration of vitannin D to supplement their ordinary diet, in my opinion. Exposure of naked skin to sunlight premits the ultra- violet rays of sunlight to manufac- ture vitamin D in the body, to limited extent. Hence, the less Olotl1- ing worn by children (and every one else for that matter) the better for health, whenever or wherever 1t is possible to go in comfort with & minimum of clothing.
 QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
 Calcium and Headache
 How does one obtain copies of your pamphlets "The Calcium Shortage" and "Why Have Head ache?" A lady I met yesterday told me she had obtained complete re- lief from frequent headaches by following the advice in these pam- phlets. (Mrs. T. E. L.)
 Answer-Send stamped envelope bearing your address and mention the pamphlets you want. Time for Plates
 Had all my upper teeth pulled about month ago. The gums are 8 little tender yet. Would 1t be too soon to have plates made now? (M. S0
 Answer-No. Best results are obs tained if the dentist takes the iln- pression before extraction of the teeth, prepares the plates and ir- sertS the plates immediately after extraction, before the patient leaves the office.
 Conservation of Kidneys
 Six months ago 1t was necessary to remove one of my kidneys. What kind of food and drink may I take without harm to the remaining kidney? I use no liquor or tobacco. How about lithia water2 drinl9 coffee mornings. (R. w. J)
 Answer-No particular food. EaA moderately, that Is, avoid overeat- ing. No particular water, just ordi- nary tap water. No alcohol, of course. Cup or two. of coffee daily is all right One kidney carries on the function of two apparently with out strain-that's why the body is equipped with pairs of some es- sential organs subject to loss of irl- jury or disease-so that loss of one will not put the machine on the scrap pile, as long as demands on the remaining organ arc moderate. Copyright 1942, John F. Dille Co.)

Her mind is so cluttered up with other peoples responsibilities that she gives the effect of being almost scatter -brained.
 What she and all the other moth- CTS ought to do Is buy each mem- Der of their families a business like calendar with an attached pad and pencil and say when they pre- sent the gift:
 Look here, now you're on your own. I have other things to think about and l can't be bothered re- membering for everybody in the house."
 Of course, Billy will miss a re- hearsal - but if his teacher cracks down on him enough, he'll remem- Der the next one.
 Every member of the family will probably slip up on things they consider important until they gel used to the idea of remembering for themselves.
 But 1t won't take them long tc catch on. and Mama will have re- claimed her mind for her own.

Of Interest To Women

 A. The bid warns of hand with freak distribution.
 e. What percentage of the work CTS in manufacturing industries ot the United tSates are women9
 A. About one-fourth. The pro- portion is likely to increase rapidly as women replace men who are called to the armed forces.
 e. What are some of the foods used in concentrated form by the United States Army?
 A. Seven vegetables in de- hydrated form are being sent over- seas in large quantities. They arc potatoes, onions, carrots, cabbages heets, rutabagas, and sweet pota' toes. Other concentrated fooe products included in the menus fol our soldiers abroad are powdered soups, eggs, and milk.

brilliant scheme of makeup. This quality of impalpability is of course doubly important for the mature woman, who will of course choose the ping-toned rachel shade or the special blend shade which is just bit rosier than most rachels.
 Any woman past forty should use cosmetics ever 50 carefully. Fiery red cheeks, exaggeratedly coated lips detract from her charm. Her face should be tinted-not colored. She must cultivate the mot a hair out of place look" For her attractive ness runs in direct proportion to her neatness and grooming.

Take two or three ham ends (for economy or shoulder. Boil and strip the meat of. Put 1t through the grinder three times. Add wto table spoons of mayonnaise-which with the fat in the ham itself, helps to give pasty consistency. Season with 1-2 teaspoon celery seed and 2 tea spoonfuls onion juice, tablespoon fuls lemon juice and tablespoonful of brown sugar. Add Worcestershire sauce to taste.
 CHEESE PASTE
 .(fOr sandwich fiIling)
 To keep this all-pink, you can color your cheese paste by putting in few drops of red cake-dye pur- chased at a confectioner's. Use one pound of store cheese-any kind. It can be as cheap as you like.
 Add one pound of crisp bacon powdered. (To powder, cover with cheesecloth and beat with knife). Season with teaspoonful onion juice and add Worcestershire sauce to taste. The paste may be made the night before the wedding and left to stand covered with a damp cloth (not in icebox). Cheese paste is delicious spread on small crackers or on thin, crisp toast, as well as in sandwiches.
