East knew he could not defeat a
game contract; but If he could
encourage the opponents to 60 on
to a slam, he might be able to de-
feat 1t by making a spade trick and
the ace Of diamonds. Also, since he
held seven-car0 club suit, prob
ably one Of the opponents was void
in that suit, or held the top cards,
and therefore East's club bid would
not discourage them from going on
might, In fact, even encourage
them.
Sure enough, when East bid three
clubs, South made the mistake OF
bidding four. North Of course knew
this was a cue-bid encouraging the
slam and letting his partner know
he held no losers In clubs. The five-
club bid by North showed control
In the suit. Perhaps South was
justified in his Jump to six spades,
but think that the bidding told
him that his partner did not have
the ace Of diamonds, and that
freakish distribution might give him
q bad break in the trump suit.
East was justified In doubling six
spades. Il was unlikely that North
would have made q slam try bid
without both the ace and king Of
spades. Therefore. East was quite
sure OF making his queen Of trumps.

Beauties Hints
For Pin-Up Legs
Take Long Walks,
Evening Massage
BY ALICIA HART
NEA staff Writer

Dancing is the best way TO keep
your legs In TRIM" says Betty
Cradle, whose beautiful limbs have
made her one Of the most popular
pin-up girls Of service men from
here to China.
"But for those who haven't time
to Dance" she suggests TRY walking
whenever and wherever you can"
Much Of the trouble with unshape.
ly legs Is lack Of exercise, the star
Of the new film "Sweet Rosie
O'Grady" explains. Legs, you know,
were meant for walking" she re-
minds you, "and since gas rationing,
many Of US are luckily learning TO
use them more often"
Walking, however, Is not the
whole story Of how to have lovely
legs. Good circulation is impor-
tant, too, Betty insists and recon-
mends that you wear comfortable
shoes 80 that circulation Is not cut
off in pinched toes and crowded
arches.
Another tip to shapeliness which
she passes along Is to massage your
toes, ankles, calves and thighs every
hight before retiring start at the
toes and work the tiredness out with
a rotary notion" the star explains.
"Then with both palms flat against
the ankles, massage gently at least
40 times. Above the ankle, use q
brisk up and down movement that
will circulate the blood"

HOME FRONT FORECAST

Prices Continue
To Rise While
Experts Argue
BY ANN STEVICK
NEA STAFF Correspondent

Washington, Oct. 30-While price
theorists argue II household costs
should be allowed to go, strictly
regulated, or regulated here and
there, the woman with the market
basket is paying more for many
things.
Since the first Of September milk
ceilings have been allowed to rise
In shortage areas. Utility shirts have
risen about ten cents. Quick-frozen
poultry has risen slightly. Jams and
jellies have gone up three to four
cents q pound. Fruit cocktails raised
O little. Peanut and soybeanS oils
were allowed to rise. Economy brand
cigarettes rose about o cent. Fuel
oil and coal went UP In some dis
trictS.
New higher prices on some rayon
stockings have Just come out. It Is
likely that others will follow the
same trend. Laundries have been
allowed to drop lower-priced serv-
ices In some cases.
In the same period lower cell
ings were set on thirteen major
vegetables, Fresh Ash and seafood
The Waterbury Democrat., 1943-10-30

prices were cut 40 TO so per cent.
Synthetic rubber produces were held
down to prices Of crude rubber pro.
ducts. Shelled nuts were reduced
about ten per cent.
BABY FOODS?
Peanuts, lobster, and porgSes
sound like things you wouldn't want
your child to eat In great quanti-
ties. Peanuts have turned out to
be boon to wartime feeding. They
are very rich in vitamin B, contain
one-fourth protein, and small
amounts Of minerals. So yau won't
mind so much II you have to SUBJ
stitute peanut butter for butter on
your child's sandwiches. Lobster has
been found to be the food source
richest in iodine, and has lots Of
phosphorus for teeth and bones.
The porgy fish, known as soup In
New England, hasan abundance Of
vitaminS and minerals.
ODDS AND ENDS

tional allotment Of sugar, so you

mortality greatly cut down by the
discoveries Of science old people
have begun to loom large as a
special field for medical service
and endeavor.
Old people are characterized not
only by the commences with which
death makes his appearance, but by
high rate Of disabling illness.
Many Of these sicknesses will sue
coed in carrying off those who fall
prey to them-but much can be
done to help the old feel better dur
Ing them and even enjoy the last
phase OF their life. The speciality Of
'geriatrics" is growing UP around
this conviction, and not the least Of
the aids to greater comfort that
physicians are employing Is phySio-
therapy.
THERAPY AIDS
Physical therapy for old people
must be considerably milder than
1t need be for those In youth Of ma
turity. AS age advances, the hui
man tissues become dryer, with re-
duction Of intracellular fluid. Elias
ITCHY Is lessened; weight and sta
ture both change. The skin be-
comes thinner, and the tissues un-
der the skin disappear. Sensory
perception becomes somewhat blum
ted. The body of the old cannot
stand the pressures Of youth. But
gentle, conservative phySiotherapy
can aid IN preserving and strength
ening the bodily functions as well as
In combating disease.
Chronic arthritis Is one Of the
scourges Of old age. Heat and gen.
tie massage, applied locally, and adj
minlstered with the proper technic
can help immeasurably In relieving
pain. Rest is fundamental to mas
sage and exercise. Supports for the
posture and elastic bandages are
useful in osteoarthritis Of the spinal
column and knees respectively.
Diathermy and hydrothermy are
both Of assistance In muscular
changes like fibrositis, accompanied
by heavy massage for the fibroSitic
nodule. Stretching exercises also
are good long-term practices here.
MODERN TECHNIQUES
For diseases Of the heart and
blood vessels, supervised exercise
and efferveScent baths properly adj
ministered are Of decided advan-
tage.. Postura1 exercise and special
baths are good In the care Of those
afflicted with peripheral-vascular
disease, also.
