Clarifying
Yourself
~ Alicia Hart
NEA Service Staff Writer

NEA Service Staff Writer
These strenuous days call for de-
cisiveness and organization in the
use of your time-else you're very
likely to be victim Of six-o'clock
exhaustion. And you know what
follows that: either you don't get
to your important dinner, or you
appear at the family table with
hair and spirits both Struggling.
It's hard to begin? You figure
on lining up your day more eX-
pertly, but all that happens is you
come up with no time for keep
ing pretty?
Try it the other way round. It's
a surprising fact that many times,
just giving yourself small break
will cut your tension and step up
your energy to such an extent
that more is accomplished, and
particularly more order, than you
obtain by constant self-policing.
So, next time you face a late
afternoon overcrowded with re-
sponsibility and chores, and an
evening of relaxation which you
know will find you too fatigued to
enjoy it, just stop a moment and
set aside half hour for your
self before dinner.
Use that half hour for glorify-
ing yourself. Step into good full
force shower, first hot, then cold.
Then take a critical look in The
mirror. Dampen your bedraggled
hair ends, pin or roll them into
curls, tie a net turban on, and lie
down. A warm beverage would
help more, and you'd enjoy and
profit by moistened cotton pads
on the eyelids, and by good
cream or mask on your face.
A CAT-NAP
WILL HELP
Maybe you will cat-nap--it,s the
most efficient thing you can do. If
you don't you'll appreciate just ly-
ing there with your mind made up
to pay no attention whatsoever to
things to do" in your thoughts.
Then get up and remove the
cream, and apply fresh makeup
and nail polish.
Very likely you'll spend a re-
Taxed, refreshing evening, and
therefore will be truly filter to
function efficiently next day.

THE NURSES MASK

THE NURSES MASK
Nurse beginning work in famous
tuberculosis sanatorium observed
the practice of the nursing staff
which was approved there as a
measure of economy. Nurses wore
masks all forenoon, removed them
to go to lunch, then on returning
to work, instead of putting or
fresh clean masks, turned the soiled
mask inside out and wore 1t again
for the rest of the day. When the
new nurse questioned this practice
her objections were promptly over
ruled. Gauze must be conserved and
the nursing staff of the institution
was proud of this spirit.
Nevertheless it is sad breach of
aseptic or sanitary technique. The
picayune saving in gauze that such
a practice might effect could hardly
compensate for the infection Of one
nurse in fifty or hundred with
tuberculosis patients who are in the
active stage of the disease and
hence possibly giving off tubercle
bacilli in their sputa is of course to
protect the nurse from droplet or
spray infection. This is the way
tuberculosis (and every other known
respiratory infection, from pneu-
monia to simple coryza, or the
common cold" if you must show
your ignorance) is usually spread.
Fortunately in recent times it has
been amply proved that the actual
chance of contracting tuberculosis
is greater for you and me in our
everyday life and casual association
or contact with people than it is for
nurses, physicians, servants and at
tendants in well conducted tuber-
culosis sanatorium or hospital. For
tunate, that is, for the patients and
nurses.
Tubercle bacilli, like pneumococci
pneumonia germs, streptococci
germs of scralet fever or septic
sore throat or flu virus or the
germs or virus of any other respir-
atory infection, are given off not as
isolated germs floating in the air
the patient breathes out but only in
sputa, secretions or fluid mucus dis
charged by the lungs, bronchial
tubes, throat or nose or mouth. Dur
ing coughing or sneezing a spray
(partly visible, partly invisibly fine
droplets) is given off from nose or
mouth and may carry as far as ten
or twelve feet During ordinary con-
versation similar, though less no
ticeable spray (droplets so fine you
don't feel their impact on your
face is given off and may carry up
to five feet. These ranges are not
estimates, but scientific measure
ments. Obviously a nurse, whether
professional or just mother or wife
or daughter caring for member
of the family, is within the patients
conversational spray range much of
the time while at work.
A mask or screen covering nose
and mouth, at least, the eyes also
as l would advise, must be made OF
not less than ten layers of gauze

Master Point tournaments. Two or
three years ago players in the South
| had little chance to win Master
Points. Yet Boone won enough
points to receive an invitation to
play in the Masters Individual last
year. This is the most select event
in the whole bridge calendar, open
only to the top experts.
In a field of 35 other Masters,
Boone made very creditable show
ing. Here is a hand from the In
dividua1 in which he over-rode sew
eral attempts to sWindle him.
Boone sat East. Notice how both
North and South, bidding strongly
with borderline hands, attempted to
discourage East and West from en-
tering the auction.
After the bid of two hearts, Boone
might have doubled again negative
~. But he reasoned that if West
was reluctant to make free bid
over two diamonds, he might leave
in two hearts doubled, which would
probably result in a poor score. So
he courageously bid two spades on
his four card suit.
When South opened the jack OF
hearts, East saw that it was prob
ably a singleton. He saw that he
could probably make the contract
if he avoided the loss of trump
trick.
To cover the jack of hearts might
lead to the eventual establishment
of a heart trick in dummy, but it
could also lead to an over-ruff OF
East by South. Then the contract
would be set unless there were lucky
breaks in both spades and clubs.
Boone, therefore, played low from
dummy on the jack of hearts, but
North read this play. He put up
the king of hearts, cashed the ace
and led third round.
Now Boone proved adequate to
the occasion. He refused to trump
discarding a diamond. Then later,
after taking out trumps, he discard
ed his second low diamond on the
queen of hearts.

ARTIST PICKS COTTON.
AS New Sculpturing Medium
(By NEA Service)

New York, Feb. l8-The ancient
art Of "sculpturing" has done
ip-flop-thanks to priorities.
They're using cotton now, cot
ton which eliminates the use OF
metal and oil for clay, needed 10y
Uncle Sam in modelling figures.
TITS not messy to work with eth
err" declared titan haired Elsie
Shaver, newly discovered painter
who is turning her idea over to
the public for all the fun or
amusement they can get out of it,"
All you do, she said, is get box
of absorbent cotton, pull it thin
and mold 1t with your fingers. You
twist little wisps of the cotton into
fingers and use a pin to pull out
enough material to make a nose or
other features.
To give the creation some zip,
you touch 1t up with a box of
water colors. Miss Shaver has de-
veloped the knack to the point
where smart Fifth Ave. shop here
Is using her models for window
displays. The biggest models, three
feet tall, require pound of cot
ton.
SAYS SHE'S A
WAR-MONGER
Miss Shnver credits her success
TO the fact she's "a war monger,
yes, a real one, too" and to an
unique thank-you note she sent to
woman who had entertained her
last fall. On the note she sketched
a couple of little figures.
The recipient of the note, de-
Gliding Miss Shaver had artistic
talent, investigated and discov-
cred she had 80 paintings. Asked
to exhibit them at a Bundles For
Britain show, the artist insisted
they weren't good enough and stuck
to her guns until friend remind
ed her she was always Shouting
from the rooftops" that the United
States ought to give plenty of aid
to Britain.
That did the trick. Miss Shaver
not only exhibited her paintings
but also some of her cotton mod
els for the first time.
The paintings, shown In the Will
denstein Galleries, drew raves from
the critics and the cotton sculptur-
ing vowed 'em. They've been
hit ever since.
