tion here - "agree that common colds are caused by virus. They are spread by contact between the sick and the well. The most com mon way of spreading a cold is sneeze or a cough. The disease laden droplets of saliva can be blown 30 feet by a healthy cough or sneeze. Some of the droplets dry and ride for several days on minute particles of dust. Those who breathe that dust may catch cold depending on their resistance"
 The professor of pediatrics is warm when he talks about cough or sneeze spray. But he shies away from the unpleasant truth about the most common way of spreading respiratory infections, call 'em what you will. The droplet or moisture spray given of with polite conver- sation, invisibly and impalpably fine, perhaps, but demonstrable in any circumstance, has range of only two or three feet, never more than five feet, and that's just far enough to get the unwary dupe who takes professors of pediatrics too seriously.
 But when the building-up-to-be- eminent specialist conjectures that chilling" is responsible for "cold" (whatever he means by that) and that there must be some other factor than the mere presence of these organisms" ("organisms" be- ing a professors way of saying germs) he is not thinking of diph- theria, scarlet fever, measles or any other sepicific disease, but of some hypothetical, unidentified, unknown ailment, and therefore nobody can take issue with him. The professor himself doesn't know or will not define what he is talking about.
 Resistance? Nobody knows what that means, either.

THEY STILL FIGHT DRAFTS

THEY STILL FIGHT DRAFTS
 From 8 quaint newspaper of large circulation published in a great metropolis, learn that a professor of pediatrics and head of a hospital still believes that:
 Chilling of the body or a por- tion of the body is usually responSi- ble for the cold. What follows de- pends on the presence or absence of streptococci, pneumococci or other pathogens (anything that stimulates disease). In a house. hold one member of a family after another may develop a cold. But there must be some other factor than the mere presence of these organisms to explain catching cold Actually, the cause is a sudden change of body temperature. The common cold is probably the rarest type of infection encountered in infectious disease hospitals where the patients are guarded from sudden changes in temperature"
 In the same article another doc- tor on the faculty of a medical school gently dashes cold water on the observations of his competitor colleague, mean-by observing:
 Most doctors and medical sci entists"-there's 8 subtle distinc-

BY WILLIAM E. MCKINNEY Americas Card Authority

The two main events in a tour nament are the open pair trophy. This year the All-American open pair championship was won at Chicago by William Stickney, Jr., and L. Gordon Quigley of Evanston, III. The Quigley name is known na- tionally in bridge, as Mrs. Quigley won the national women's team .of-four title for two years running.
 On the hand shown today, taken from the All-American open pair event, most pairs got into three no trump and went down after the heart lead that is asked for by the bidding. Quigley and Stickney reached the game in diamonds, which is difficult in match-point play. Yet it is better from North's point of view, as he has only one bare heart stopper and no diamond tnpnr to solidify the suit.

 So your husbands at camp and it's highly uncertain if and when you can visit hirn-and you muddle along, tense and planless?
 So you're happy but desperate when you realize you're leaving in six huors. You cancel your ap- pointment with the hairdreSser, buy necessities helter- -skelter, pack in a terrific rush, and get on the train or plane in heap.
 Without thinking of washing your face or tending your locks, you try to sleep in the morn ing plough through those scram- bled suitcases in search of tooth brush and cleansing cream, and barely get ready to aight at the proper station. And it surprises, hurts you a little, to note from his expression of concern that you look as if you had been in battle.
 Something like that will happen if you don't get of to 8 peaceful start.
 So you recognize now that the
 
 uncertainty of your going is good reason for having it planned and prepared.
 So you shop for necessities, both traveling clothes and makeup, to- day, and you keep your appear ance up to standard. So you get on the train or plane without ex- cess baggage but with essentials in order your makeup case or even a box complete with cream, toothbrush, soap, night and cleans ing creams handy, and 8 washcloth or lotion for a quick freshening in the morning.
 You arrive rested and composed, and you get of at the station ready to begin enjoying your visit at the beginning. And you're surprised and pretty proud. to note by his gladness and relief, that you look as if the rigors of wartime hadn't and couldn't touch you at all.

By "big" woman is meant the tall, big-framed woman who takes, say size 38 to 42-not the really stout woman whose dress problems are entirely different. Simplicity should be the primary guide for the biz woman-simplicity of line, color, trimming and accessories.
 She should cling to smooth, plain silhouettes that tend to streamline her figure. She should avoid like the plague loud colors of size-en- hancing patterns. such as big plaids or checks. Collars, cuffs and other trimmings should coincide with the general lines of the garment and not break them by frou-frou or size increasing flared efforts.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

7-Year Itch Cured in Hours
 Some eighteen persons in our mining camp suffered badly with what we called the seven year itch". We had some medicines from the doctor but these gave no relief. I found set of your Little Lessons" in the library and came across the article on itch. We fel- lowed the advice therein, and over- night every affected person got re- life and the trouble cleared up com pletely in few days. c. V)
 Answer-Thank you, sir. Scabies (pronounced ska-bi-ease) is an itch due to a mite burrowing in the skin, highly contagious. Every one in the family or group must un- dergo treatment at the same time and all clothing, bedclothes and toilet articles likely to harbor the mites must be sterilized or launder- ed at the same time.
 The Fizzician Sounds Off
 Drugstore clerk tells me that the bitter taste in grapefruit is due to the presence of quinine and that grapefruit cut up, rind and all, and steeped to extract the quinine, is a good remedy for the common cold.
 (W. c. O.
 Answer-All of which is non- sense. I regret I know of no sub stitute for quinine.
 Constant Reader
 As constant reader please send me your pamphlet Tt Is Stupid to Suffer from Piles". GA. L. O.
 Answer-But I am not constant reader-I sometimes take time out to do little housework, wash the dishes, and the like and catch up on my bowling. But am glad to send the pamphlet on request if you provide a stamped envelope bearing your address.

 If her husband is in the service, childess wife, instead of following him. should get war job and stick with it-knowng that in the end she will prob ably be doing for her husbands welfare by help ing to turn out planes ammunition than by follow ing him from one camp to another.
 If her husband is still with her and she lives in a place where there war plants she should simplify her housekeeping as much possible, and take on war iob Lots of women find 1t not hard to combine homemaking and workng-f they simplify the home making.
