Whether To Tell The Symptoms
 Or To Suppress Them
 Once I got the bounce from a paper down south because the big shot happened to notice something in my column that put disturb ing idea in his head. He had suf- fered long from what he assumed to be piles" and from what I said about the diagnosis of such trouble the big shot wondered If his trouble might possibly be cancer. So, like sensible fellow, he dropped his work and hurried to competent physician, who ex- amined him properly, and found nothing but piles.
 Today a pastor Gas I infer) writes me Ito say with deep sincerity Thank you Doctor Brady Tn your column you gave an account of your experience with appendicitis. Soon afterward my wife and I did justice to hearty meal provided by one of our pariShioners. For two days thereafter I had my meals in reverse. My belly was sore, but I thought that was due to the un- usual exercise my stomach muscles were getting. However, after a rest less night, I reused in the morning free from pain, but acutely tender in one spot down on the lower right side. I recalled your experi- ence, asked my wife to call the doctor, and after examination he said I had appendicitis of more than 24 hours start. was hauled away to a hospital, and there they found inflammation of the bowels and gangrene. I got along well after operation except for stich ab- cesses, and the last drain was re- moved two weeks ago. am past sixty and had never before had any pain or any kind of abdominal trouble at all. believe that but for your hint in that article I would now be an angel, for otherwise I would have dismissed that very ten der spot as sore muscles. We always enjoy your column and I am glad to add my testimony to the value we have received from 1t"
 (Signed ...)
 In the article to which the pastor alludes I contradicted the popular nation that appendicitis begins with pain in the lower right quadrant of the belly. It doesn't. Tn most cases the distress or pain of acute appendicitis is first felt in the epi- gastrium or "pit of the stomach" Only after several hours, as a rule, does tenderness develop in the low CT right quadrant. Perhaps this ac- counts in part for the sad error of ascribing the trouble to indigeS- ton or something you ate-an er- TOT that is serious because, first; it encourages delay in obtaining proper medical care, and second, 1t too often proves an excuse for talk ing some kind of cathartic. Both of these errors contribute to the ap- pendicitis mortality rate.
 You never can tell. The safest course is to do nothing at all abuot bellyache until the doctor comes.

 How do you buy your bras? Hur- riedly, snatching the first size-34 that you can find in the pile on the crowded bargain counter? Or sltyw-p -pokishly, so hesitantly that your very indecision betrays your failure ever to have made decision about what you want the garment to do to your figureP
 Such shopping won't make you stylish or self-confldent in any sea- son. And this fall more than ever, e little forethought about your bras is in order. The word that's going around in fashion centers now is that the pointed bosom garment is on the way out.
 Kama, little French woman who landed here with hundreds of other refugees Q while ago, only to acquire a Fifth avenue salon and a very worthy custom trade in bras, eX- presses outright horror at the Amer ican habit of sauntering up to & counter and demanding merely, "Size 34."
 What would she say If she saw the really-haphaZard bra-ouyer, who edges into the crowd around the counter, fumbleS for a mo- ment, and unable to find her size, selects the next larger size? This ra-buyer really intends to alter the garment-when she gets time. But does she?
 NEW SILHOUETTE
 IS ROUNDED
 The French designer makes two-part bra which really fits. Each part can be worn independently. Both contribute to a silhouette that was stressed in last weeks fall fashion openings-a silhouette in which the waistline is as low as can be achieved naturally, the hips natural, the bosom high but full rather than pointed.
 One of the top designers accented a slightly fiatter corsage in his col- lection, and 1t is my guess this may become popular in time. The strong CT, more immediate trend, however, was the soft-shouldered but roundly full bodice that requires a firm rounded uplift bra-and one that fits. Some of the models did seem to be wearing the pointed bras, but they were definitely in tn minority.

serve the play of the queen to show the jack. The importance of this practice is shown in today's hand.
 When North sees the dummy, he realizes that the dsclarer probably can win at least five spades and four hearts. One trick in clubs would be enough for the contract. The de- fense will have to hurry for it's tricks in clubs, if any, before de- clarer gets out of trumps, sets up the hearts and discards his clubs on dummy's suit.
 If South has the ace of clubs, there is no rush, since North can lead a club when he is in with the king of hearts. But if South has the club king instead of the ace. North must get in a club lead through East before his heart king is forced out. North would like to win the second diamond trick. If he does not do something drastic, South will lay down the ace and the chance will be gone.
 North therefore plays the queen of diamonds on the king. AS I have said, the tendency among experi- enced players is to reserve this re- sponSe to show the jack, for just such situations. South now under leads the diamond ace to put North in with the jack. North's club re- turn spikes the declarer'S guns.

 Weight Of Baby
 Mother-in-law insists baby should weigh twenty pounds at the age of a year. Our baby was year old last week and weighed 24 pounds. We fed her according to Holt. (Mrs. L. R)

 American child morale forces are just now being converted" for wartime action on the psy- chological front.
 The U. s. Children's Bureau recently called together experts from over the country. They sifted needs and planned.

They cited the need for day nurseries or other provision for children of women workers. PREPARATIONS
 BEING RUSHED
 There are three million now. More will go into war industry as factories increasingly draw on the biggest labor reserve -- 15,000, 900 housewives. Mental hygiene so- cities are counting noses and taking stock in communities and in the country. The Chicago 1n- stitute for Psychcoanalysi5 has worked out a plan for family guidance and public safeguards against wartime children's suffer- ing and misdoing.
 England, way behind America in such advance planning, had a fair-sized outbreak of misdoing by children who became suddenly homeless and parentless. Then the handling of the children was lighted. Now British child-crime, big and little, is markedly on the wane.
 The American experts now working on safeguards seem to agree quite clearly that where America's children are concerned the Marines have landed. Dr Peppard, the New York school authority, talks for many when he says, Most people will be pleasantly surprised by the jot this country will do on this front It would be foolish to say that no child will suffer. But we can req sonably expect our children to come through astonishingly well probably, in fact, we will pro- tect them and provide a happy life more scientifically now than ever before, even in peaceime."
