System of Control Shown
BY WILLIAM E. MCKINNEY
Americas Card Authority

The opening bids and responses,
together with slam bidding after a
four no trump call, have been pretty
well standardized into few we'll
known systems. But bidding tactics
for the part of the auction between
these two extremes is still any
many's land. There are many Sys-
TENS and ideas contending for gen.
eral acceptance as to this interme-
diate range.
Al Weiss Of New York, player
we'll on his way to becoming a
senior master, recommends linking
the early responses to system Of
slam bidding. In his system, the
response to an opening tWo-bid
is based on controls; in fact, all
subsequent bids by the partner Of
the opening bidder must endeavor
to show what the hand holds in
first and second round controls,
even third round if time permits
After an opening bid of two Of
suit, the responding hand must
bid two no trump if he holds no
ace. But he may jump to three no
trump with one and one-half honor
tricks but no ace. Likewise he may
jump to four of the original suit
with long strong support but no
ace With one or more aces, he
must commence bidding the suits
Of the aces, starting with the ace
Of the openers suit If he has it.
Today's hand shows how the
Weiss system would handle a slam
hand. North's response Of three
hearts shows the heart ace. North's
raise Of the second suit bid by
South shows the king. That Is all
the information South needs to bid
six hearts
Notice that with his freak hand.
South needs to know exactly what
North,s high cards are, because top
clubs would not help his hand. and
anything less than the ace in
spades would be useless.

-----WE,T THE WOMEN--
THERE MAY BE "GOLD"
UP IN THEM THAR ATTICS

When new things are hard to get,
old things take on value. The
clothes that Mrs. America laid
aside because they were a little out
of style but too good to throw away
can be dug out and fixed up.
CaSt-off furniture can be recon-
ditioned, and so can cid equipment
of all kinds, If Mrs. America will
look at it with a little Imagination
GIVE YOUR SURPLUS
TO NEEDY FOLK
Even though Mrs. America can't
make use of all she digs out of her
attic, basement and closets-not
much will 60 to waste if she keeps
the needy family down the street
in mind.
What she can't use herself will
probably come In handy to someone
else-if she has the energy to find
the right person or oganization tc
give it to.
Mrs. America has had so much
through the years that she has put
things aside before she got all the
good out of them.
So when she starts mining there
is ro telling how much gold" she
will find.

Long hours spent skating, ski
ing or shopping tend to make tired
aching feet. The weekly pedicure
daily scrubbing with a foot brush
and perfectly fitting shoes and
stockings will go long way toward
keeping feet healthy and comfort
able.
At night, after a restful, 1eisurely
bath, is a good time to give your
feet their weekly beauty treatment
Dry them we'll, then put cuticle
cream or pure olive oil on and
around the nails. Wrap the end OF
an orange stick with cotton and
push the cuticle back. Cut the nails
straight across and smooth any
rough or sharp edges with an emery
board.
Then apply a special foot cream
or lotion, or even your favor1te
night cream, using firm upward
strokes from tips Of toes to ankles
Rub it in well until almost all
trace Of the cream has disappear
ed. Remove the excess with soft
cleansing tissues and wash the
nails with warm, soapy water
Dry carefully and polish with
buffer. Buf1ing is circulation
stimulator and should always be
: done before painting with nail lac
quer. Dust with powder before you
go to bed.
If there are any troublesome
corns, don't try to treat them your
self. That is a job for good foot
doctor. If there Is just an indica-
ton that corn may appear. get
corn plasters and wear them faith
fully over the irritated spot until
it disappears. If the spot persists
this, too, is for your doctor to at
tend to.
An especially hard callous can
be treated with pumice. Moisten
the pumice before you rub and dc
not try to remove the entire cal
lous at any one time. Thirty Sec
onds' rubbing Is quite enough for
one treatment.

UNIFORMS TO BE
ON PAR WITH BEST
As to uniforms, as Mrs. Rogers
puts 1t, "Since the Corps women
will be doing regular Army service,
I see no reason why they shouldn't
be equipped just as well as the men
and that is very well, If ! may
say So"
On one point, Mrs. Rogers is very
earnest and grave. That's the ques-
ton of compensation for sickness
or injury incurred by the WAAC's
in the line of duty. Her bill Is ex-
tremely detailed in its assurances
that all women will get just the
same protection as the male SOL
diers.

DRY CLEANING TIP

Right after the holidays is a good
time to check up on the cleaning
situation--that is, what with en-
tertaining, holiday feasting, and
such, there's bound to be something
spilled, somewhere. And it Is i'm
portant that such stains do not be-
come "set," for the longer they are
allowed to remain in the material
the harder they will be to remove.
Another point to think about is that
some stains require one treatment
some another. So, If possible, mark
special stains and their causes for
your cleaners guidance.

The same is true, emphasizes
Mrs. Rogers, Of women industrial
workers who will be called upon In
creasingly as our armed forces build
| toward a 6 or 8-million-man goal.
Thousands of jobs that are now
being done by enlisted men and Of
ficers can be done just as well or
even better by women. General
Marshall, Secretary Of War Stimson
and scores of observers of the fight
ing English women all back up the
truth of that statement.
WELL-ORGANIZED
WOMEN CORPS NEEDED
But since those jobs are either In
military camps, or entail full mill
tary supervision and responsibility,
1t seems advisable to have them
filled by women who are disci-
plined, fully organized, and serving
on a full-time basis-not as an &C
tual part of the Army but under
the direction OF the Army Chiefs
of Staff. The Rogers bill provides
a soldiers pay for the WAC men,

there may be 10000 enlistment

But don't think the whole lot will

which is just what wouldn't be
helpful. No, Mrs. Rogers explains
