. MeKENNEY oN BRIDGE 1ssssx
BY WILLIAM E. MCKINNEY America'g Card Authority

The list of Life Masters in con- Eact bridge was increased to 31 Rhen Albert Weiss of Chicago &C., .umulated the required 260 points. Weiss has long been acknowledged IS one of the outstanding players of the Middle West. The event that put him over the top was the Nor thern Illinois team-of flour contest Dn May 2, and here is one of the hands that helped him win.
 The choice of contract, risky four hearts instead of an easy five diamonds, was made because of the match-point value of the extra 20 for the major suit game. Several North players chose four hearts, but pnly Weiss made the contract.
 The first trick went to dummy's ace of clubs. Next came the ace and 8 low diamond, setting up the suit. East led the queen of clubs. Weiss saw that this defense would cause trouble if the adverse trumps were not split 3-3. He decided to bank on the spade finesse instead of the trump split, so he let the queen of clubs hold. East continued clubs and dummy trumped with the eight
 Weiss now cashed the king and ace of hearts and led the ten.

SILVERWARE OUTPUT TAKES BIG SLUMP

When choosing that dream pat tern for flat silverWare, newly Weds even now may find shortages developing in plated lines. The cop per and steel foundation of all kinds of silver plate is needed for shells and tanks. Even sterling silver manufacture has been cur tailed severely because the ma chimes and skilled craftsmen are needed to supply the men behind the guns
 By shopping around from store to store, friends and relatives will probably be able to find carvers and salad forks aplenty to fill ex- isting sets-but few orders are being taken for lines not in stock.
 Remember the clocks that used to be standing joke in nearly every bridal gift display-enough to go around every room in the bungalow or apartment? Well, they, too, are about to become pre-War phenomena. Clock and watch concerns are turning out precision instruments for ships controls, bomber panels and eX- plosive timing devices.
 The cheaper standard models of clocks are already running short as anyone who has taken look around the versatile corner drug store will testify.
 By and large the pottery and glass supplies are holding out Nat urally imported chinaware is van- ishing and strikes and material shortages have held up production of some of the finer domestic chinas. But no one need worry about having to eat off the table.
 Since lots of war brides this year are planning to live with their par ents or in-laWs while husbands are away fighting, they aren't loading up a lot of duplicate equipment.
 However, even these girls are purchasing linens and towels to contribute to the common house. hold supply. Happily, in this line there is no present or impending shortage. While Irish linens are missed, there are plenty of attrac- tive American substitutes - with few Mexican and South American Imports to add foreign glamor.

WE, THE WOMEN
I'VE, THE WOMEN Keep An Eye On That Old Army "Line''
By RUTH MILLETT

Two things are important for the young girl who is dating sol- dier-a sense of values and sense of humor.
 She'll need the sense of values so that she won't let the glamor for a uniform and the impressive thought that her young man is ready to risk his life for his coun- try, put her in the frame of mind where she thinks she is deeply in love when she isn't.
 And she may need the sense of humor to cope with the young man.
 UNIFORMS CAN
 FASCINATE GIRLS
 For the sense of humor is the best guard girl can have against falling for the there's so little time and you're so lovely" line of persua- sion.
 It will stand her in good stead, too, if the young man gives her a this is war" pep ta1k--or plays on her emotions by limiting sadly that he may never come back.
 She won't be taken in by those old lines If she has enough of a sense of humor to see them for what they are.
 Of course her young man may really be THE one--but if he is, they'll both want to marry, not just have short affair which they try to keep from seeming cheap by playing up the war back drop.
 Girls can have a lot of fun dat ing soldiers df they don't date them, most of them won't have many dates) and they can help the soldiers have fun. too. But they're just plain dumb if they let uni- form get the best of their sense e values and their sense of humor For a girl has tc be smart enough to take care of herself in war tim as well as other times.

 Even the simplest personal care routine will add to the beauty of your skin in more ways than one. For example, the simplest step Of all-cIeansing-does more than just cleaning if the cream or soap is used correctly. For proper usage gives you bit of massage in the bargain.
 Smooth the cream on with up- ward and outward strokes, and pat it in along the jawline before re- moving it. Do not "slather" on as you probably did in the lush days. Making it go further also gets in more massage.

 Tonic, night cream, even founda- ton lotion and powder, should be applied in the same gentle, system atic, upWard-moying way
 When you remove makeup, hold piece of cleansing tissue in each hand Place hands on chin, then move the tissues upward in exactly the same routine-up to chin, up from nose to temples, up on fore head, around and around eyes.
 Never scrub your throat down. Begin at the base and work upward and outward to the jawbone.
 For the best results, protect your hair with towel or homemade makeup banda plain four-inch strip of muslin, long enough to go around your head, will do. Fasten it securely, tucking every hair un- der it, then go ahead with your cleansing, cream treatment, or makeup job, without worry about your hairline.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
 Piles

Grateful to you for recommend ing him and to pr. for his skillful treatment. I was stupid enough to suffer from piles for ten years. I suffer no more. Dr. assured me I'll never have any fur ther trouble. (M. B.
 AnsWer-W When the physician ob- literates a hemorrhoid (pile by in- lection treatment, he can assure the patient against further trouble from that particular pile. But no treat ment, however successful, renders a patient immune from future devel- opment of new piles if the bad hy- giene that causes piles is not cor rected.
 Thymus
 Is there any way except x-ray to show whether the thymus gland is enlarged? Is the thymus gland naturally large in early infancy and does it naturally shrink later in childhood? Our child has the pe- culiar breathing symptoms, but at the hospital we were not told the thymus gland was enlarged. They said he will outgrow the noisy breathing later on. (Mrs. l. W.
 Answer-Yes, the thymus is nor mally large in early infancy and normally shrinks in later childhood. Difficult to make sure how large the gland is Git lies deep behind upper part of breastbone) without X-ray. gather there's more legend than fact in medical literature con- corning the thymus gland and en- largement of the thymus l know less about it than thought I knew twenty years ago. A large thymus in the case of my grandson-asso- ciated with extremely large ade- noids-made me so fearful of ane- thesia that we kept the poor kid from proper surgical relief for year or more. He had no difficulty with anethesia, and removal of adenoid obstruction m ad e his breathing virtually normal, enabled him to sleep O nights-his gramp too.
 Albumin
 Yesterday I got a job. Today l am jobless. In the physical eXami- nation they found I had albumin. What is albumin and how can I get rid of such a condition? (S J)
 Answer - Presumably albumin was found present in the urine. It has no special significancc-that is, it does not signify anything neces- sarily wrong with the kidneys, es- pecially in a woman. Better report to a physician for examination and advice. Sometimes It's m cans Bright's disease.

CONTROL OF LYssOPHOBIA

A COlledBue WIlIeS.
 In forty years practice in Canada, the United States, England, France and South Africa, have never seen case of rabies. ------- -L--, professor of medicine at McGill and I were classmates. His last edition (Practice of Medicine) gives the usual description of rabies. Just at present some one has stirred up a brisk outbreak of hydropho- bia-phobia and people are coming with doghites real or imaginary. l haven't the nerve to withhold the injections.
 In the same mail came a letter from an anxious mother in the same community and typically she refers to an epidemic of hydrophobia" in the community.
 That is inaccurate Lyssophobia, not hydrophobia, is epidemic there. Hydrophobia means fear of water
 Lyssophobia is morbid fear of rabies Qyssa is Greek for fury; rabere or rabies is Latin for rave, madness, violence) and not, as quaint Dr. Webster tells you, nor bid dread of hydrophobia.
 Hydrophobia my eye. Neither the animal with rabies nor the human being whatever afls him, ever fears water. Except of course, that vic- tims of hysteria may manifest the most dramatic fear of water, espe- cially if they have been thoroughly imbued with the notion that fear of water is sign of rabies.
 Most people mispronounce rabies. Like scabies (the itch) it has three syllables, and the two words rhyme "a long, l short, long, accent on the a.
 Health department report for the metropolitan area including the community where the hydrcphobia- phobia is raging, says there has been one case of alleged human rabies in the entire metropolitan area (more than two million people, this year, and an average annual incidence of 0.8 cases in the last five years.
 Here let me repeat I DON'T KNOW whether rabies occurs in man. I do not believe anybody KNOWS. The only advice I would give any one bitten or wounded by animal or bird suspected of having rabies is to have the wound treated immediately by your physician, and have an immediate prophylactic dose of tetanus Gockjaw) antitoSin (serum and second dose five to seven days later. AS for Pasteur treatment, regardless of what you think or I don't know about rabies in man, you had better leave that to the judgment of your own phy- sician and pay no attention to whet anybody else may think or say about 1t.
 Likewise in regard to cauterizing the wound with fuming nitric acid (strong, undiluted nitric acid), the only advice I would give any one bitted, scratched or claWed by ani- nal or bird suspected of having rabies is to leave that too, to the judgment of your own physician, and pay no attention to what any, body else may think or say about 1t.
 In any such case. as between the

 Washington-Better get married quickly, girls. if you expect to bag the traditional wedding presents for setting up housekeeping. Looks as If after the rest Of this sum- mer's late crop of brides gets it's in- nings, the reminder will have rather meager leavings.
 For the next few months the batter or chatter of the last lumni- mum tea kettles and measuring cups, the clink of stainless steel pairing knives and pancake turn CTS will still be heard at bridal showers. Rubber bathroom gad- gets, even electric coasters, irons and waffle sets will continue to emerge from rustling tissue-paper and ribbons-for a while.
 But since further manufacture of all these articles has been ban ned by the War Production Board in it's conservation program, the stocks now on hand in the na- tion's stores will be the last avail able till peace comes again. Flu ture homemakers will have to manage with much less than the usual supply of metal kitchen cut lery-and this will not contain aluminium or the nickel, chrome and other alloys needed in war in- dustries to make steel hard and stainless.
