BY WILLIAM F. MCKINNEY America's Card Authority

One reason why 1t is often neceS- sary for a defender to play second hand high" instead of low is to save possible re-entry in his partners hand.
 In today,s hand West opens the 10 of diamonds and East must play the jack to show that the card t not held by South. The 10 lea& against no trump probably show the nine plus higher honor other than the jack. Declarer wins with the queen, goes over to dummy with the king of hearts and leads . low spade from dummy. East must 60 up with the king.
 It looks from declarer's play a1 though he has to develop a couple of spade tricks to make the con- tract. With the ace and king of spades against him, he wants to knock out Vests entries, before East's, SO that West cannot regain the lead to make his diamonds after they are cleared.
 East must foil this plan. by talk ing his king at once, to save Vests ace. Then East can clear the dia- monds while West still has his side entry.
 It may be argued that South might hold ace-jack alone of spades, and that East's play would be sui- cidal. But such a holding is very improbable. Surely the declarer in this case would have better chances by leading the ace and and jack of spades to assure himself of three tricks in the suit.

o. are women workers compet- ent to do all the types of work necessary in the manufacture of ar- tillery ammunition?
 A. Women already are employed in government arsenals and in parts at many opera uons -- specifically as machine op- orators, aSsemblers, inspectors, pack CTS, etc. New plants under con" struction or finished, will offer many similar jobs. There will be wide opportunity of further expan- sion of women's employment in an expanding production, both on new jobs and as substitutes for male op- eratives when the need arises. Un- doubtedly women can perform well over half of the operations in the manufacture of artillery ammunition.
 e. I want to make or purchase some suits for office wear. What sort of easily laundered material thta will stand wear would you sug- gest?
 A. Attraitive summer suits of seer sucker are quite the thing just now. They are cool, extreneyl easy to launder, and wear well. Tailored suits are ideal for office wear. The coat can be worn without a blouse, or, if the day is 8 bit cool, it can 'be worn over q blouse. Most of the suits have short or three quarter sleeves.
 c. I have Q small space for a garden in which I want to plant some kitchen herbs. I have no knowledge of what herbs to plant or how to grow them. Can you sug- gest some books that will help me?
 A. ''Magis in Herbs" by Leonie de Sounin (Burrows), Mary C.. Ellsworth's "A B 0 of Herb Cooking" (House of Herbs, Canaan, Conn) i. and Herbs: Their Culture and Uses," by Rosetta E. Clarkson (Mc- Millan), are recent books on the subject.

CA AND D FOR CATARRH

CA AND D FOR CATARRH
 Ca is the symbol for calcium (liTne).
 D is vitamin D, which Is essen- tial for assimilation and utilization of calcium from food or medicine.
 Catarrh, in the common sense of the word, is chronic inflammation of and excessive secretion from the mucous membrane lining the nose and air passages. This mucous rnem- brane Is continuous with the lining of the throat, larynx (voice box), windpipe and bronchial tubes, and with that of the pharynx or upper throat, the sinuses the Eustachian tubes and the middle ear cavities.
 One of the physiological functions of calcium in the body Is to dim- finish or control permeability of capillary channels-where the blood seeps between the cells.
 Nutrition students find that the refined diet of the average Ameri- can today is more likely to be defl- cient in calcium than in any other element.
 So much for the scientific part. Now let us relapse. Here is Q tes- timonial received from a reader. Before you read 1t let me repeat that one shallow maketh not sum- mer and 1t is human nature to paint Q good picture when you're writing a testimonial.
 Dear Dr. Brady:
 I have written you on various occasions and have received much benefit from your advice"
 (Evidently the reader has taken the trouble to inclose a stamped en- yelope bearing her address when she wrote).
 Quite some time ago I asked you about catarrh for my son, who had been troubled with 1t for several years, had taken him to several doctors here in ....., had his nose drained several times, used various drops and sprays for the nose, with little or no ap- preciable effect on the trouble Following your suggestion began giving him calcium and vitamin D to supplement- his diet, and in @ few weeks there was practically cured of the nasty pesky condi- ton.

 Belly Breathing


 You said Shafer introduced belly breathing in America in 1908. My vocal instructor in the late sos (yes, I am an old lsdy) taught me with other students at the college that method of breathing. She was trained in Italy. She had to lie down with a glassful of water on her chest, and you know 1t would have been too bad had she breathed with her chest.I always enjoy your plain speaking talks.

{ NEA Service Stan Writer you've just had Q fine new per- manent wave, and, you're deter mined that this fall 1t will get the kind of care it deserves.
 Of course you know that no per- inanent Is self-setting. If your hair IS to be neat and hatteri1g, 2 pro- fessional operator must set the waves In place after each shampoo. But you ought to know also that careful brushing and a bit of extra care between trips to the beauty shop all help to make the wave last longer and look prettier.
 Don't let anyone persuade you that a new permanent should not 6e brushed. It should be. And the more you brush, the softer and more manageable 1t will become. . However, don't brush and brush your hair upward, away from the scalp, and then go to bed without Bombing 1t back into proper place and pinching the waves 8 bit. Dur ing the first two or three weeks, the permanent is so very new, you should brush 1t, then comb, then put on a hair net and wear 1t all night. You should be able to find a net that is pretty becoming.
 ALLERG1C TO NETS?
 THEN TRY A SNOOD
 If the whole idea of a net strikes you as a bore, then you'd better de- wise something frankly frilly but nevertheless purposeful to hold your wave in place.

MORE FOOD FOR THE ALLIES

The agricultural marketing COOP
erotves have reol job on their hands.
As Secretary Of Agriculture Wick
ard has pointed out, we must increase
our production Of many foods both for
US and for England, which depends on
this country for q substantial part Of
the foodstuffs thot she needs. Thot
means agriculture must have incentive
to work harder and produce more.
The marketing co-ops are today
fighting battle to get the eonsidero-
ton the former deserves. They are
fighting for fair prices and reasonable
profits. They are working to improve
production methods. The future well
fore of tens Of millions Of farm fom-
lilies depends upon the success Of their
efforts.

common sense from the event AZ
Richmond.
With all four hands in sight, 1t
is hard to to see why any North
South pair should fail to reach
a contract of four hearts. Yet
Mrs. Stoddard, sitting South, and
Mrs. Mckinney, North, were the
only ones to score the game. This
is exactly the kind of hand on
which mechanical bidders get to
three no trump-and 60 down.
At all tables, South opened
with one heart, North bid two
diamonds. and South bid two no
trump. Now Mrs. Mckinney
made a departure by calling
three hearts. Her idea was to
show at least neutral support for
hearts. The singleton spade sug-
gested an advantage for hearts
against no trump, if the suit was
at all playable.

ers made the same bid, but only
Mrs. Stoddard chose to bid four
hearts instead of three no trump.
She reasoned that Mrs. McKen-
ney would not have shown the
secondary heart support unless
she had a reason for not wish
ing to bid three no trump, which
could only be weakness in spades
or clubs.
Mrs. Stoddard was not misled
by her own double shoppers in
these suits. She realized that the
hearts probably could not be set
up until two adverse shoppers
were forced out, and at no trump
the defenders would then have
time to establish the black suit
in which they were strong.
Notice how accurate this rea-
soning was. The spade opening
set three no trump at every
other table. but Mrs. Goddard
made four hearts easily.

German confiscation Of supplies
and foodstuffs.
King Christian x, pictured in
the equestrian statue in front OF
Amalienborg palace on the stamp
above, and his government, ac-
cepted the occupation under pro-
test.
Because of the difiicult strategic
and geographical position Of Den
mark, the Danes could offer little
resistance to the overwhelming
German forces.
Germany, however. is running
into trouble In Denmark. Reports
from Stockholm, Sweden, say
King Christian has threatened to
abdicate unless Germany relaxes
demands for the enactment OF
anti-Jewish laws by the Danes.
The Naxi reverses on Russian
and African battlefronts have
forced the Germans to dig still
deeper into the already depleted
Danish stores. Strongly pro-
British, Denmark hopes for an al
lied victory to restore order out

That isn't all. The music re-
sumes then, and Miss Powell
really goes to town on a CLASH
cized, solo jitterbug routine.
haven't mentioned the swimming
pool on the set, but the camera
now draws back and reveals that
there is one between the audi
ence and the dance floor. Miss
Powell dances around to the left
end of it and. then races up
the springboard and dives. This
is a climatic bit of exuberance,
because she's fully dressed.
but she doesn't get wet! A
husky adagio dancer, standing
pretty high in what ought to be
deep water, catches her and
losses here on to a second adaigo
gent on a raft.
Without any doubt this is the
doggonedest dance routine I've
ever witnessed, and if it dosn't
have the jitter-jivers jumping on
their seats and whooping in the
aisles it will be only because
nobody will believe the stunts
actually were performed.

business was filmed.
