Fine Points in Bridge
BY SHEPARD BARCLAY

had pretty good defense against
anything. in view of the fact that
his partner was strong enough to
give him a single raise in hearts
Remember. however. that he
does not know whether the raise
by his partner was based on any
honor strength in side suits. II
the raise was almost entirely be-
cause of the trump holding, then
the prospects for a profitable de-
feat Of spades would &c slight
But II fair strength was held in
side suits. then there was a good
chance to beat the contract deci-
sively.
As a consequence Of this rea-
soning. Mrs. William Z. McKen-
ney. wife of the executive secre-
tary of the uAmerican Contract

contract was set three tricks by
good defense. producing a top
score on this deal. which was in

ENDORSEMENT FOR
FAST TRAIN PROPOSAL

EDITOR, THE POST-PRESS:
With reference 10 the recent editorial
relating To the Southern Pacific change
of schedule. | wish to refer specifically
to that portion suggesting Il possible
daily round trip to Los Angeles by fast
two or three-car trains.
1t is my confirmed opinion. apparently
shared by others. Judging from many
conversations. that Il good service would
derive very heavy passenger patronage.
That such proposed fast diesel opera
tion would produce this patronage should
be attested to by railroad history itself.
For many years my home was Abiline,
Kansas, served by the Union Pacific
1t was generally said that the railroad
enjoyed very poor passenger patronage.
But that situation changed quickly when
the railroad put on Just such fast
service as you propose.
One of the first streamlined trains,
after its exhibition tour of the country,
was placed into service, leaving Salina.
kans., at am. daily and arriving in
Kansas City, 200 miles distant, at 10 :30
o'clock 1t made its return trip in late
afternoon leaving Kansas City at about
i o'clock and arriving at Salina at 30.
In the interim between morning arrival
and afternoon departure, it made sec
ond trip PARKWAY back, to Topeka, thus
using the train crew hours to fullest ad-
vantage.
These are the approximate hours, as I
recall, and it was publicly stated that this
service. over Just such distance and
territory as exists between here and Los
Angeles, was one of the best paying sery-
ices on the I. P. system.
certainly endorse your proposal, and
am glad to cite this actual case in sub
stantiation of your recommendation OF
Just such service for Imperial Valley.

The Victory Book drive will get under

If you've got good book Iaccent on
the qoodl. or several of them leave them
at the nearest library or branch library
You may be assured that they will soon
be "in the service" in the army, or navy,
or the marine corps. They will be build
ing morale, helping to while away leisure
time for the armed forces.
Don't simply clean out your library
of all the books you want to get rid OF.
If they're not interesting or if they're
outdated, or dull treatises on technical
subjects, you might as well burn them
for all the good they'll do the soldiers.
They don't want that kind Of thing any
more than you do.
There should be thousands Of books
in Imperial Valley good enough inter

IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE
KEEP HOME FUN GOING
(Eisalia Times-Delta)

1t has been asked-"Should we keep
amusement places open in times like
these? Should we have our social
parties? . Should we continue to have
our dance and play times?"
The answer is, we believe, Definitely,
yes.'
First off . the boys who are fight
ing for America want America to stay
the same kind of country they know -.
a country where ordinary folks have
more fun and opportunity than ordinary
folks in any other nation in the world
From our own standpoint, there is
nothing to be gained by retiring to
closter.d life for the duration. We
want to keep things running as normally
as possible in an abnormal world. If we
continue to enjoy relaxation, entertain
ment, social exchanges when we have the
opportunity, We can remain in better
mood and better position to work for
the cause and to make the sacrifices
when the need arises.
It is important to the morale at home
that we accept and enjoy the good, even
as We must face and Surmount the bad.
Good morale at home is as important, IN
its way, as good morale at the front.
Both are necessary to victory.
Our soldier and sailor sons, brothers
and friends would be the first to say,
Keep the home folks laughing"

Do not mistake me l don't be-

that till We attach entirely dlspro-
portionate importance to this mat
ter, and expect miracles through

There are millions of us who
don't understand the value OF the

afford to lorego this Charm-aid.
If you find liquid deodorants un-
suitable, and powder varieties in
effective, consider the new cream
types which are easy to apply and
do check perspiration. Distinguish,
by the way. between the deodorant
and the nti-pcrspirant. The deo-
dorant simply de-odorizes the per-
spiration, and continued perspira-
ton naturally carries away the de-
odorant. 1t is a good idea, there
fore, to use an anti-perspirant
every few days or once a week,
and also occasionally between these
applications, use a deodorant.
