they are human and subject to err
ror, one of them failed to find the
correct discard in this hand.
West opened the jack of dia-
mondS, which dummy won. De-
clarer now started to lead trumps,
and though he discovered the bad
break, he continued until he had
picked up all of Vests trumps.
From the dummy he discarded
two clubs, a spade and diamond.
East let go two spades, then a dia.
mond, then another spade.
Declarer cashed the ace and
king of clubs. When the queen
failed to drop, remembering East's
spade discards, South cashed the
ace of spades and led another one,
thus establishing the nine of
spades for the needed trick.
East could have defeated the
contract by saving three spades
and diScarding diamond, trust
ing that his partner originally held
three diamonds to the jack.

CAN'T HEAR IN THE DARK

CAN'T HEAR IN THE DARK
When our deaf correspondent
who wishes to remain anonymous
explains that she can't hear over
the telephone, the party calling is
usually likely to begin shouting in
order to make her hear, and this
compels her to hang up the re-
ceiver. Whereas II the calling party
will speay slowly and calmly she
is able to understand well enough.
When she says she can't hear in
the dark people sometimes think
she is a bit off her nut (the lady
didn't use thisi expression, it is mine
as you should know. What she
means is that the expression On the
speakers face is great help in
understanding, and probably she
also does some lip-reading whether
consciously or not.
Now have rather better hear
ing than the average normal per-
son, although I have only one ear.
The tin ear is a total loss, merely
an ornament, or place to grab
hold of If you have occasion to haul
me about. But the good ear is very
good indeed-in a quiet place. Con-
fusion, the hum of conversation in
crowded room, and all sorts of
discordant or disconnected sounds
or noises quickly get my patience
down and my dander up.
When anyone insists on num-
bling his stuff into my tin ear I re-
act according to my estimate of his
intelligence or Importance. If think
what he may have to say Is Of no
consequence anyway I let him go
on and probably / do not hear a
word he says-it depends on the
amount of disconnected noise
round about. If I think what he
has to say may be worth while,
ask him to wait until I get around
the other side and then ask him to
begin over again.
Some people who are partially
deaf in both ears are unduly sensi-
tive about explaining their difficulty
of hearing in any circumstance,
they tell me. That Is a mistake. One
good way for deaf people to protect
themselves against being misunder-
stood is by wearing one of these
modern hearing aids.
That reminds mel had known
and had many pleasant conversa-
tons with the wife of retired pro-
fessional man long before I noticed
that she wore such a hearing aid.
Perhaps change in her style of hair
dressing uncovered the little gadget
to my eyes. Anyway, I never sus-
pected she was at all deaf.
Total deafness in one ear (from
injury or destruction of the audi
tory nerve or internal ear mechan-
ism on that side) makes it espe-
cially difficult tell from what di-
rection sound comes. People with
even partial binaural (both ears)
deafness can still have intact heir
sense Of direction of sound. This
handicaps one to a certain extent,
for one can not ell who is speak,
ing in crowd unless one happens
to be familiar with the voice. BY
the time one finds the person
speaking 1t is too late to have the
help of his facial expression or lip
reading.

In all fairness to the women
who choose to make homemaking
their full-tine Job and to devote
all their talents, imagination, and
energy toward being a success at
it, we ought to invent name to
describe them.
SEND IN YOUR
SUGGESTIONS .
On second thought, they ought
to think 1t up themselves. If any
of you women - who find home
making the most fascinating job
in the world and know 1t takes as
much and probably more ability
to be tops in it than in any other
line Of work - have a word or
phrase to describe the successful
homemaker, let's hear 1t.
And, if you can coin some suit
able phrase with which to de-
scribe women who excel at the
job of homemaking, maybe they
wouldn't always be made to feel
like nobody in particular when
they are introduced to TOP
FLIGHT designer, a SUCCESSFUL
novelist, or a radio STAR.

Consumers
Column
What's Brewing in
the Nations Cof-
fee Pot.

Has your favorite restaurant
failed to urge the usual second cup
of coffee on you lately and have
you heard rumblings from your
grocer about coffee shortage? We
are offee-drinking people, as the
fact that we imported 2 billion
pounds in this year ending Septem-
Der, 1912, proves and this amount
represents the greatest quantity
used in this country up to that
time. This year the government
has a1located to the packers and
roasters IL pounds to each 16 they
distributed to the retailers last
year and they in turn will dispense
this amount as fairly as possible to
you, you and you.
In the years before the Food and
Drug Administration got into &C
ton this curtailment might have
given the consumer pause for the
thought lest the temptation to adul-
teration be too strong. There is no
law against coffee 'eXtenders" and
substitutes being mixed with your
coffee, now, but all such substitu-
tons must be plainly marked for
the consumers benefit. Some people
buy a blended coffee from choice.
If the new stringency teaches us
housewives tom axe better coffee it
will be doing a national service, for
careless methods make both waste
and a poor brew. Remember that
coffee is volatile and begins to lose
its aroma as soon as it is ground so
a cheaper grade. freshly ground,
tastes better than an expensive cof-
fee gone stale. So, LIST, buy fresh
coffee, only a few days supply at a
time, keep it in the refrigerator;
End, be sure the coffee pot is
scrubbed not just rinsed after each
use. Bird, measure your coffee ac-
curately according to your taste,
usually about / level tablespoonful
to IL pint of water; 4th, never boil
your coffee and drink 1t as soon as
it is made. The longer 1t "steeps,"
the more bitterness and the less
flavor it has. One expert maintains
that if everyone followed these rules
we'd get more good drinking coffee
out of our rs per cent than from
all of last years import.

age Of rubber heels, perhaps many
would appreciate some articles on
care Of the feet. My work demands
a great deal Of walking, and some
times, the bottoms Of my feet get very
sore, for what seems ridiculously
small cause. (H. CD
Answer-The less heels the bet
ter. Shoes that are wide enough
across the forefoot to permit nat
ural spread Of toes, are easiest for
walking. The less stiffness the bet
ter. Straight inside sole lines or
even slight inflare, not outharing
inside sole lines.
Pyorrhea
Can you give any suggestions for
pyorrhea? My dentist says I am
getting pyorrhea and he doesn't
know what to do about it.
(Mrs. M. J. G.
Answer-Send stamped envelope
bearing your address, for pamphlet
"All That Gengivitis Is Not Pyor-
rhea." Dentists who write on sta
tionery showing their degree or in
close card and stamped addressed
envelope will receive this pamphlet,
together with a complimentary copy

style.
Leftovers become lovelies with
slight touches that are just right,
for as one smart dressmaker re-
marked "Even a humdrum dress
acquires distinction when some
good work is put into it," Take a
plain black frock which needs
something" and scallop the hem.
Make good, even scallops by trac-
ing around a saucer. Then bind
it In a bright color, and repeat this
color at neck and sleeve edges.
This will be smarter, because it's
more genuine and tasteful, than a
new and sleazy dress with six fur
bellows to hide its Indifferent cut.
If you can do that much with a
needle, you will want to do more,
even though you have to learn
to sew. Then, you'll be hicking on
polka-dot collars and cuffs, and re-
modelling a suit or a coat so that
it looks and feels new. When you
have good clothes, 1t pays to have
remodeling done by a good dress
maker or an inexpensive tailor.
HATS ARE EASY
TO MAKE OVER
And, even If you never held
needle and are temperamentally
agin 1t, you can get in on this con-
servation sport in the accessories
and home-making departments.
Got an old straw hat, and a good
stiff square Of cretonne? Fold the
cloth diagonally, making a triangle
and attach 1t like bandana. 1t
will cover the crown-in fact, it
will reshape 1t into a tall, important
crown, which is fashions very lat
est cry.
If the fabric Is stiff enough, use
1t to make a matching belt-just
cut out small discs or ovals, slash
each one twice, and run a cord or
ribbon through the slots.
All you need to do to acquire a
most useful set of dishcloths, is
just fish out that forgotten, worn
knitted underwear, and if it's cot
ton, all the better. Dishcloths last
better when hemmed.

A Fifth Avenue salon which
makes fine preparations for 1nascu
line grooming now offers two new
products for the health and beauty
of both mems and women'S scalps
and hair.
There is a cleanser and a lotion.
each made with that old favorite
element of home care, sulphur, but
but in new form With these, 1t
is suggested an effective scalp
treatment can be accomplished in
the time a shampoo takes.
First, the latherless, creamy
cleanser Is nlassaged on the scalp
and left on for ten minutes. Then
under the shower goes the hair,
for rinsing. When dry, the hair is
parted and the lotion is applied.
1t Is cooling, serves as both
scalp lotion and hair groom, and has
pleasant fragrance. The products
are recommended especially for use
following permanent waving, and
for hair which loses lustre with
soap shampcoing.
Hair which is dry and brittle and
therefore pretty difficult to man
age, will improve with a simple
lemon rinse. To give yourself one
at home, simply add the strained
juice Of two fresh lemons to the
neXt-to-the-last bowl Of rinsing
water. Finish with a clear rinse,
and, If possible, dry with towel in
the sunshine.
Remember that brushing Is the
greatest cure-all for everyday,
minor hair and scalp difiic:llties.
Experts recommend nightly work
out with good brush, whether the
hair is too dry or too oily. It is
a good idea to keep on hand tonic
especially designed to help your
particular scalp defect. Follow d.
rections precisely

So when you try to describe a
woman who is successful in the job
of homemaking, job at which SO
many women are either outright
failures or never get beyond the
