Mrs. Wilkinson Wagar Of Atlanta,

York successfully defended the
women's pair title at the south
eastern sectional championships re-
Gently held at Coral Gables, Fla. !
selected Mrs. Sobel as captain OF
my l941 All-America team and also
rated her as the worlds No. wom-
an bridge player. After her victory
1 asked her what common mistake
she would warn women players to
avoid in order to improve their
game, and here is a hand giving
her answer.
The opening lead was won by
the queen Of diamonds. South took
the ace Of clubs and led another,
ducking in dummy when the bad
split was revealed.
"West let go a diamond" said
Mrs. Sobel. EAST took that discard
to demand a shift, SO she led low
spade. South ducked and the ace
was forced. Back came spade and
South was in. AS the club suit was
hopeless, she led a low heart to the
king, covered the nine with the ten
on the way back and so made
game"
Mrs. SobeI pointed out the typi-
cal error by East. TOO many
women depend upon what they
imagine to be conventions of play.
They do not visualize their part
ner;s hand and the troubles she
may have in discarding."

New York-This is going TO be
hot color" summer.
Fashion experts talked of prac-
tically nothing else at the spring
opening of beautiful Belmont Park
racetrack, where the fashion display
put on by socialites and professional
models is almost as important rs
the races themselves.
CONTRASTING JACKETS
ARE MOST POPULAR
1t takes quite a spot of color to
be noteworthy at q racetrack,
where women customarily wear
bright clothes. This year, two
color costumes heralded the smart
est spectators. And paired compile
mentary deep-shade colors like Kel-
ly green and bright red, or royal
purple and American beauty red,
were outstanding. Some of the man.
nequins, displaying what's-coming-
for-summer-and-fall, wore four col
ors-for instance, pink, yellow, pur-
pie and green, all together.
One other important point was
registered. The contrasting jack
ct is in again. Partly responsible
for that, no doubt, Is the War

SHOULDER BURsITIs

Quite recently physicians have
reported relief in many cases of
painful shoulder bursitis by multi
pie needing Of the bursa, which
soon brings relief whether any fluid
is withdrawn or not. Obviously sew
eral punctures Of the firm unyield-
ing wall of the burSad sac would
relieve tension more than q single
puncture would. It Is not that we
are trying to revive the ancient
Chinese technic-or at least I have
read somewhere that the Chinese
long ago practiced puncturing Of
Bodily organs or structures as a
method of treatment-with the idea
Of releasing devils which had taken
up residence in the affected organ.
Absorption or removal Of cal
careous deposit does not necessar-
lily mean that the brusitis is cured,
nor does failure Of such an area Of
Qualification to disappear mean that
the bursitis Is not cured.
Cessation of pain does not mean
that frozen shoulder is cured either.
Since movement of the shoulder,
particularly raising the arm out
ward and upward is so painful the
suffered from bursitis holds the
shoulder and arm in whatever posi-
ton is least uncomfortable, and
holding it so for a few weeks of
course favors atrophy or wasting
and weakening of muscles and ten
dons and formation Of adhesions,
so that the shoulder joint becomes
sti6-frozen shoulder.
The stiffness remains even after
the pain has gene, and in too many
instances the immobility or restrict
ed movement of the shoulder drifts
into a chronic or permanent dis
ability.
Now the best treatment of
frozen" crippled shoulder is pre-
vention-by some such treatment
for the pain as already outlined,
and then, as soon as the pain or the
worst of 1t is relieved the shoulder
must have regular massage two or
three times day, best applied right
after half hour of diathermy, or
If no diathermy available, then
fifteen minute application of ordi-
nary heat in one form or another.
With the massage the arm must be
put through passive movements to
the limit and a little beyond the
limit of comforft-in order to
stretch young or forming admissions
or prevent them from becoming Or
ganized. Immediately after this
daily diathermy or baking or hot
applications, massage and passive
movements, that is, movements of
the arm and shoulder by an attend
ant or nurse or other person who
has had instruction by the physi-
slan) the patient must go through
regular series of active movements
or exercises. as instructed by the
physician. Only in this way can
the full use Of the shoulder be pre-
served.
Internal medication, diet and ex-
ternal remedies such as liniments,
ointments, etc., have no effect what
ever, save the temporary benumb-
ing of sensation or relief of pain.
Certainly it is foolish to take medi-
cine or treatment purporting to be
good for rheumatism" I
fear a good many cases of subacro-
mial or suhdetoid bursitis are still
maltreated as "neuritis" or "rheu-
matism," for want Of a diagnosis.
