2 MCKINNEY ON BRIDGE &asgassg
BX WILLIAM E. MCKINNEY Americas Card Authority

Looking at today's hand, which vas No. IA of the series played n the recent intercollege tourna- nent, you think it must be harder tor East and West to reach three dO trump than to make it after they arrive. You count that East can win two spades, one heart, two dia- nnonds, and four clubs, since the club finesse is a winner. What is there to the play?
 The returns proved that many of OUT younger bridge players have yet to learn the value of small cards. Many failed to make the 'laid-down" contract.
 The whole point is that when clubs are led from dummy, at the One time it gets in with the dia- mond king, the correct lead is the uine, on which East will play the deuce if North plays low. Then when the jack is led, East can again underplay with the ten, if necessary. To lead the jack first is an error. for if East plays the deuce he will have to win the second club round, and if he drops the ten his deuce cannot win trick if North plays correctly. The lead of the nine thus is necessary in case North has she king plus three or more clubs.
 This interior lead might well be

Of Interest To Women

Have you a household problem to solve? Write your question clearly, sign your name and ad- dress, enclose a three-cent post age stamp and mail to The WOm- ans Editor, Washington Service Bureau, The Democrat, 1913 18th Street, Washington, D. O., for a personal reply.
 o. Is there any one food that is adequate to provide all the essen- tials of a proper diet?
 A. No. Milk probably comes nearest to being a complete food but even it is not perfect, and an attempt by an adult to live in- definitely on mil kalone would not provide perfect nutrition.
 @. I notice that on some brands of coffee the fact that an adulter- ant or substitute is mixed with the coffee is noted. Isn't it illegal to sell adulterated coffee?
 A. Under the present. Food Drug and Cosmetic Act 1t IS not illegal, provided these adulterants are noted on the label.
 o. Should the ceiling prices on groceries sold at retail bs the same in every store? I notice quite a difference in the prices even in my immediate locality.
 A. No; in general, the ceiling is the highest price at which each store sold an article during March, 1942. The maximum price will vary from store to store just as prices varied in different stores in March
 o. Please give me directions for blanching nuts.
 A, Pour boiling water over them and hold at simmering temperature for about 3 minutes. Remove and drain off the water. The skins will then come of easily when pressed with the thumb and foref1nger al the pointed end of the nut. Spread the blanched kernels on absorbent paper and dry overnight at ordi- nary room tsmperature.

FEW KNOW HOW TO BREATHE

FEW KNOW HOW TO BREATHE
 I am compelled to take issue with you as to your originating the term "belly breathing" (writes K. A. L......). The expression was used by my high-school spEech instruc- tor. He accredited the name and the technique to famous opera stars who, I am sure, antedate you, if my speech teacher himself does not. (Signed K. A. L.)
 To the best of my knowledge I have not claimed that I originated either the term or the technique or method of belly breathing. I have merely hammered away, at the absurdity and SqueamishnesS of the use of the term abdomen" which means the great body cavity, when it is obvious that the speaker or writer mean belly = the front wall of the abdomen.
 A public school music supervisor, describing his experience in teach ing pupils how to breathe, made an interesting observation here the other day. Apparently children ac- quire the artificial chest breathing habit before the fourth grade, he said. Therefore he didn't think music teachers or physical educa- ton instructors could be responsi- hle, especially as he knows many members of his profession who do teach correct breathing. Maybe the primary room teachers, with the lest of intentions, start the children off wrong. He didn't know. If not, then he guessed natural" breath ing does rot come natural tc child but must be taught.
 Observe the breathing of any one, child or adult. instructed or un- instructed. and you'll see that he CT she breathes naturally, correctly, with the belly, not with the chest, when asleep.

TEN-YEAR HIGH IN NEW YORK

We can manage" the doctor adds. We have been able to keep up standards of maternal and in- fant health"
 And the picture is the same in every war production center.
 It is estimated that from third to 9 half of all the nations doctors are needed for military duty. New York City, with no sprawling de- fense plants and with the worlds greatest concentration of medical facilities, finds the baby boom has reached ten-year peak.
 The head of the hospital reports they've just about reached the limit on advance-booking, which enables them to handle more maternity cases in the same hospital space. Another private hospital says it has had to turn away more, lately. They book eight months ahead. The big city hospital, Bellevue, has had only slight rise in births.
 But one of it's well-knoWn ob- stetricians says his private practice now includes practically branch office in Washington

TREATMENT WON'T INSURE RELIEF

So far as I know there's no per- manent cure for oily hair, either. There are a number of excellent scalp treatments which do much goood but you have to keep on hav- ing them because the oil reappears.
 The sensible procedure, then, is to have a series of anti-oil scalp treatments twice a year. Don't ex- pect them to be perfect insurance against any sign of oil between times, though.
 If you can have a treatment every week, by all means do. And at the very least, use some kind of special tonic for oily hair after each shampoo. And do brush your hair at least five times a week. If simple brushing fails to remove the oil, leaving the hair clean and fluffy, put bits of clean cotton between the bristleS and brush again
 And do make sure that your health habits are in order. Your diet should include plenty of green vegetables, salads, fresh fruits. You should have plenty of fresh air, ex- ercise, and sleep.

But, here's how the years start ing out in the United States:
 There1l be 2,500,000 babies in 1942, statisticians figure. That is around quarter millioh over the mark for 1899, when World War II began.
 We have seen this brewing for two years," says Dr. Louis I. Dub lin, noted statistician of the Met ropolitan Life Insurance Company. Tt is characteristic of the early stage of War II and War I. MORE BOYS IS JUST A MYTH
 But when the men start going across in large numbers watch the birth rate tumble. Germany's rate has fallen already. England's is down about 10 percent"
 More boy babies? Dr. Dublin laughs ruefully. He has put in end less brainwork and money investi- gating that idea.

lrf thinking, I guess. The truth is, there always are more boys than girls. The ratio varies somewhat from time to time, but not with war, and the overall ratio is strikingly steady-106 boys to 100 girls"
 The long view is not bothering hospitals, obstetricians, nurses, right now-mothers and babies are. Es- pecially ill war centers. Take Bridgeport, Connecticut. Twenty thousand new people have come in during the war production boom. And that brings babies about 1000 extra ones, so far this year, in Bridgeport Hospital alone.

Miss Hazel Corbin of the Mater nifty Center Association, which trains nurse-midWiveS for service in practically every state and many foreign countries, says many war production centers in the South and West are hard put.
 Her organization has expanded. It opened new training center here, this year; helped the Frontier Nursing Service to start one in the heart of the Kentucky hills; and sent trained urse-midwives to train others in Tuskegee, Alabama. Trouble is, many spots were over crowded and lacked enough facili- ties even in peacetime, she says For instance, 100000 infants were delivered by totally untrained granny midwiyes" last year.
 BABIES SHOW PARENTS
 CONFIDENCE IN FUTURE
 Some people say 'draft-dodging' about the baby boom, and no doubt there's been some," Miss Corbin re- marks. But we think the basic ex- planation is in something different, something genuine and mighty im- portant. It's just human pSychol- ogy. Women, and men too, by the way, want sons and daughters more in times like this. The babies ex- press their confidenc in the future as well as their need for security" "
