. MeKENNEY oN BRIDGE
BY WILLIAM E. MCKINNEY Americas Card Authority

While the nationa tournament was smaller this year than in for" mer years, that was to be expected. However, the competition was none the less keen, as the teams from the various cities throughout the country were of the strongest. one of the four women who won the na- tional women's team-of-four title is Mrs. Olive Peterson of Philadelphia. This Is the eighth national title that Mrs. Peterson has won. She has made bridge a profession and Is the country's outstanding woman teacher today.
 Mrs. Peterson gives a very neat lesson in todays hand, which helped her team win the title. At both tables of the match this deal was played at four hearts by East, and the same opening lead was followed by the same play. East won the first trick and cashed the three clubs in order to discard the four of diamonds. A heart lead was won by North, who led 6 spade. South ruffed with the jack, cashed the king of hearts and exited with a diamond.
 Mrs. Peterson now made the con. tract, whereas her rival in the East position was set. On the first trump lead Mrs. Peterson took the precau-

ALCAs
 It is as though a supersalesnar for marriage were telling her, we have some nice IA husbands still on hand. But they are going fast. and if you want the best you had bet ter decide to take one today"
 . Sc, the girl decides to take the chance. She is afraid if she doesn't she'll be sorry.
 Maybe it will turn out all right. and she'll be as glad she got a husband while the getting was good as her mother was when she bought a new electric refrigerator while there were still a few left.
 SHE MAY REGRET
 But there is also the chance she might discover to her grief that she let panic push her into a mar riage sch wasn't ready for. There is the chance she'll look around when her husband has gone and see that there is still plenty of good husband material left, and that she wouldn't have been left out in the cold if she had taken @ little more time about making a marriage.
 lt's too bad so many girls arc listening to the voice of super salesraanship and getting married just because they think they maI end up as old maids if they don marry now. But 1t ought not to b. hard for older people to under stand their reasoning. For 1t is tn same kind of reasoning tha makes ioarders out of otherwis, conscientious citizens.

SIDNEY BLACKMER INJURED

Sidney Blackner has been uurs. ing a head wound over the week. end, simply because Dean dagger neglected to take the coffee out of the cup.
 The actors were working in a scene for "No Escape" at the Mono" gram studio on Friday afternoon, and the action called for Jagger to dash the contents of 8 coffee cup in the face of Blackmer, who was about to place him under arrest. As the cameras turned, dagger ex- ecuted the proper gesture. but the cup slipped out of his hand, and Blackmer went to the floor with blood squirting from a wound just above his right eye. ..

 January can be a dead-center month when your clothes and per~ sonal charm raech 3 low for the year--or January can be a time ot blooming. Which will 1t be for you9 It all depends on whether you sit back, just hiberating, maybe wishing somebody would make you decide to do slime self-improvement.
 Why shouldn't you put a few anti-fade measures. into your schedule for this month as you used to replenish the anti freeze liquid in the car?
 You might begin by taking measures against the wrinkles which you realize are more definitely there than they seemed last year. Massage them oftnr with a good rich cram, check with your mirror daily to see what faciaA wrinkle forming habits you need to break, and try to rest more.
 Rest is a must" beauty. builder and this applies particularly to sleeping. Try getting 56 hours sleep a week. If you haven't been, but can accomplish 1t just once, you will find your energy and efficiency r1oticeably increased.
 If you are underweight or over- weight, work out a diet and exer. else plan to overcome 1t. You might, too, catch up the hens and buttons an dworn seams in your clothes which perhaps you've neglected un- wisely in the thouguht that they'll be put away soon anyway. a.
 And if couple of books weren't in your Christmas stocking, you might go out and get at least two and read them. You know, you need mental stimulation. Try one sub stantial and one light book. Not only the hops, but the libraries are full of them.

HONE FRONT 7sld3sE&5l Choice Of Chops Or Cheese Is New RatiOning Outlook
By ANN FRANCE WILSON

NEA Service Staff Correspondent
 Washington, Jan 26 A number of problems connected with meat ra- tioning have withdrawn that corl1- inodity from the list of starters in War Ration Book ?. But, after the point rationing system has been tried out on canned fruits and vege- tables, you'll see meat as the next entry, with cheese as its running mate.
 one reason for coupling meat and cheese is that they. are inter changeable sources of protein. But remember when you've used up your meat allowance you won't be able to turn in coupons for the cheese substitute. For when you've used the cheese coupons, too.
 Persistent Runor w
 OPA ofncials are feeling out of sorts because they can't seem to suuelch that clothes-rationing rll- nor and keep it squelched.
 Chief contributors to their bad Iilinor at the moment are those ill- advised clerks and storekeepers who urge on their slow-to-decide GUS toners with such statements as: You'd better buy all you can now. miss, because OPA is going to ration all clothing soon."
 Now, the fact is that only a few persons know whether clothing will ever be rationed, and nobody knows when. So, you may depend upon it that salesmen are not bet ter informed than the customers. Wishful Thinking
 Another unfounded rumor is the wistful hope, entertained by a good many people, that coffee rationing might be slightly relaxed.
 The idea was that after two or three months, the mechanics of

. rationing might be Sn1oothed out and we would get a pound of cof- fee every month, perhaps. Well, banish the thought. Coffee. stocks are tight--very tight indeed.
 And the same does for sugar. There1l be no slackening and no "dividends". The same ships that bring sugar to this country also carry such highly necessary things as copper and bauxite and rnagne- sium. So officials think American housewives can get along very well on present rations.

NEA Service Staff Writer Dried lima beans, like several other dried beans, provide many of the same nutritive elements contained in meat, but not all. When you use dried beans in place of meat, you must increase their protein and vitamin value by com bining them with some sources of complete protein such as cheese, milk, wholewheat, fish or eggs.
 In this way, you can bring their nutritive value up to protein and vitanin requirements and safely substitute them in your family menus in place of meat.
 Use dried lima beans in hearty wintertilne soups, main dish salads, croquettes, loaves, patties and sav- ory casserole dishes.
 Store in a glass jar in the re- frigerator. They need only 4 to 5 hours of soaking in cold water. To preserve valuable food clements
