Winning Contract
BY THE FOUR ACES.
Lettinq the Opponents HeIp

One of the soundest principles of
bidding might be summed up this
way: When you have a very good
hand let the opponents come in
cheaply'; when your hand is not
strong do what you can (safely) to
shut them out. Observe the beau
tiful result obtained by North in
this hand merely by following this
precept.

no need to play the hand Yet
the grand slam contract would have
been virtually impossible to reach
except for a single, very shrewd bid
made by North.
That bid was the original response
of one diamond! Simple enough,
but it was the key to the entire
sequence. Why? Because it opened
the way to oneheart overcall by
East. which overcall was promptly
used by North on the next round
as the basis of cue bid which
revealed the situation to South as
no other call could have.
Most players (even many experts
holding North's hand would re-
spond first with one spade OBJ
serve how that would change the
whole course of bidding. Now East
would certainly pass rather than
stretch his neck to bid two hearts
and, since this would rob North of
the chance to announce no heart
losers South would have to sum-
mon all his courage in order to
reach a small slam. let alone the
grand slam that was so safely
reached.

The Temple of Karnak
Is Architectural Marvel

The Temple of Karnak, the great
est known temple in the world, is
situated in the ruins of the ancient
city of Thebes, on the banks of the
Nile, $50 miles southeast of Cairo.
The site is occupied by the modern
cities of Karnak and Luxor.
In the ruins are three enclosures
of crude brick and in the largest
enclosure is the Temple of Amen
cannon or Ammon). It was begun
in the XII Dynasty and enlarged by
kings of succeeding dynasties until
the Ptolemies. Within the enclosure
are smaller temples and an avenue
of sphinxes leads to the main en-
trance of the temple, which is a
huge pylon. Inside is a court ira
versed by double row of immense
columns and second pylon leads
into the great hall, whose roof was
supported by 1874 columns. All of
the columns are brilliantly painted
and sculptured and many of the
vivid colors still remain. In the in
ner court are two obelisks and a CO.
lossal statue of Osiris.

Wash Old Glory

How to wash the flag depends
upon the material of which it is
made. Colorfast cotton flags can
be Numbered in the tub or washer
using moderately warm suds. Color
fast wool flags need cooler soapy
water, and so do silk flags. Most
of the little flags such as children
often carry in parades are seldom
fast-dyed, and washing is not sug-
gested for them.
Flag etiquette comes into the pic
ture when hanging the flag on the
line to dry. It should never be al
lowed to touch the ground, and
should hang with the blue field to
the right if fastened by the narrow
side, and with the field to the left if
fastened by the long side. Whether
suspended from washline for dry
ing or from pole for display,
the flag always should be hung ac-
cording to correct usage.

Basic facts on point rationinG
were outlined recently by the Of
fee Of Price Administration.
/. Point rationing will be intro
duced to Americans early in 1943
when war rationing book two is
distributed.
2. The purpose of point ration
ing is to guarantee everyone fair
share of scarce but essential goods
while at the same time giving every
one a variety of items to choose
from.
8. There are 8 chief differences
between point rationing and the cou-
pom rationing which is now in eff
feet for sugar and coffee.
A. The first important difference
in this--under straight coupon ra-
tioning, one single coupon entities
the consumer to buy specific
amount of a single commodity
such as, one sugar coupon entities
you to buy three pounds of sugar.
But in points rationing one set of
coupons covers a whole group of
commodities. For instance, your
weeks meat ration coupons would
enable you to choose your ration
freely between beef, pork, lamb,
or mutton.
5. The second important differ
ence is this--the coupons in point
rationing are of different demon
nations. Those to be spent in one
nj xni 1,d a
one-point coupon, two-point cou-
pom, five-point coupon and an eight
point coupon.
6. The third important difference
is this--the various rationed items
within one group will have different
point values. For example, tender
Join steak, being relatively scarcer,
might have high point value and
require larger number of cou-
pons, while hamburger, being avail
have lower point value. Thus, in
exchange for a ration coupon worth
eight points, the housewife might
be able to obtain one pound of ten
lerloin steak or four pounds Of
hamburger. point values have not
been set yet, values used here are
for illustration only.
Z. The government will set the
point value of each item within
the group of rationed products and
issue an official list. Point values
will be based on available supplies
and will vary as supplies of par
ticular items increase or decrease.
8. War ration book two will have
four pages of blue stamps and four
pages of red stamps. The blue
stamps will be used for the first
group of goods to be rationed by
points The red stamps will be used
for the second group of point-ra-
toned goods.
g. The number on each stamp tells
how many points the stamp is
worth. The letter on each stamp
tells what period it is good in. The
government will announce these
periods in advance.

TRY TO ESCAPE COLDS

Although the common cold at
lacks young and old, throughout
the world and at all seasons of the
year, our past records show that it
is most prevalent during the win
ter months, DR.. r. HI. Riley, Di-
rector of the State Department of
Health, warns people. ''In Mary
lands changeable winter wealth
er, when this ever-present enemy
seems to be lurking everywhere,
few precautions may help you to
escape it.
sit is important to avoid colds,
because they are more than mere
inconvenience. They tax health and
strength, lower the body's resis-
lance to other infections and some
times cause serious after-effects.
Keeping physically fit is prob
ably your best protection against
colds. Warm clothing in unusually
important as an aid to physical fit
ness this year, when fuel shortages
have made colder houses a necessity.
Plenty of rest, well-balanced diet
physical fitness that can help you
to resist colds.
Holiday shopping crowds are
source of danger, as are crowded
cars, buses, theaters and other
places where large numbers of pe0-
pie gather. A cold is communicable
disease, or one that you catch thru
contact with some other person.
Therefore, even if you cannot al
ways stay away from crowds, at
least avoid anybody who Is cough
ing, sneezing or showing other signs
of cold. A single cough or sneeze
may scatter cold germs over an
area of several feet.
Gas a further precaution, keep
your own hands away from your
nose and mouth" DR.. Riley advises.
"They may carry infectious mater
ial picked up through handling
something previously handled by q
person with a cold. You should also
wash your hands before eating or
preparing food for others.
IF you do get cold keep 1t
to yourself. Use paper hankerehiefs
and discard them as quickly as you
use them. Cover your mouth when
ever you cough or sneeze. Keep
away from your friends and rela-
tives.
For quick recovery go to bed
as soon as cold develops. II you
feel no better the next day call your
DOCTOR"

Hitler Came Up the Hard
Way, Says Professor

Hitler came up the hard way, de-
veloped a technique and then an
art, according to DR.. Hans Reich
enbach, formerly of the University
of Berlin, who says the fuehrer is
not one of the worlds great men,
but, for a time, one of the most
successful.
The early technique of Hitler, says
DR.. Reichenbach, who is professor
of philosophy at the Los Angeles
campus of the University of Califor-
mia, consisted in having a number
of his men dispersed through each
audience and instructed when to
shout he'll and to throw out hecklers.
Hitler learned that nothing uni
fed people so much as a COM
mon hatred. Therefore, if one did
not exist, it had to be created"
DR.. Reichenbach paraphrased Vol
taire: eff there were no Jews in
Germany, Hitler would have invent
ed them. He created an atmos-
phere, not a logic. He is never
afraid to say something against log
ic, as in Mein Kampf, where he
writes that if an idea is repeated
often enough the people will believe
it."
DR.. Reichenbach attributes much
of the Nazi leaders success to an
ability to start afresh after defeat.
His riot of 1928 failed, but during
nine months Imprisonment he wrote
his book. Later, says the profess
sor, he came to rely not so much
on his ideas as on the way he pre-
sented them. "He does not control
Germany because Of a superiority of
his ideas, but because of superior
political organization"

honoring the Roman God Janus,
from whom the years first month
derives its name.

Novel Games
Enliven Party
On New Years

group gathers to celebrate New
Years. A few novel ideas help pro.
mote a spirit of informality and
bridge any dull period until all the
guests get well acquainted.
Since New Years day is tradi.
tionally the time for people to make
resolutions, game centering
around this topic will make an in.
slant hit. There is one called ''Mixed
Resolutions" that will fill the bill for
fun-making in any crowd.
Just seat the group in circle and
give each person a paper and pen.
Gil. Then tell everybody to put down
the name of the hostess and the
resolution they think she should
make for the ensuing year. Then
the name of each guests right and
left hand neighbor, with appropri-
ate resolutions until the entire crowd
is covered. No names are signed,
so the sky is the limit as far as
resolutions 60.
Weeks Confession.
When all the names have been ac-
counted for, the hostess collects the
sheets of paper, reading all the res
olutions for herself and each guest.
While your guests are still in a
circle, have pencils in their hands,
there is another slight variation OF
an old game that applies admirably
to a New Years party and that will
create plenty of hilarity. Just fur
nish your guests with sheets of pa
per marked into seven divisions to
resemble a weeks page from a
diary.
Direct each person to sign his
name at the top and then pass the
slip to the. right. Players are
then asked to write on the first line
an account of what they did on
Monday. The slips are then passed
along until the entire week is ac-
counted for.
The climax comes when each
player rises in turn and reads the
name at the top of the page and then
the confession which follows below.
Time Identified.
And while we are on the subject of
slips of paper, there is still another
game that will serve to while away
some merry moments. The subject
of this game may be ssTime." That
being the case, prepare the slips Of
paper, writing on each a different
variety of time, such as Killing
Time, Beating Time, Saving Time,
Marking Time, Father Time, Los
ing Time, March of Time, Nick O.
Time, Waltz Time, Night Time, Sup
per Time, Summer Time and so on.
Make two copies Of every slip. Give
one to each girl and place the rest
in a box.
Ask the men to form single line
and draw a slip from the box. Aft
er each man reads his slip to him
self, he demonstrates in pantomime
the kind of time he represents, so
each girl can identify her partner
for the next activity. The panto-
mime is continued until all the
''times' are identified.
