BEAUTIES HINTS
 Practice This Platform Posture And Learn How To Sit Gracefully
BY ALICIA HART NEA Staff Writer

A lady-platformer beginning her career as a speaker, writes to ask how to sit properly on an elevated rostrum and what to wear.
 To sit like perfect lady-either high up above or on an even keel with an audience-both feet should be on the floor and one slightly ahead of the other. This position makes rising, by pushing forward on the leading foot, easier, and pos- sible to accomplish without hunch- ing yourself up by the arms of your chair.
 The simpler your platformer's costume is-and this rule is not con- fined to rostrums-the less atten- tion- your clothes will claim and the more you'll get. But if you want to excite some interest, introduce some bright colro into your simple ef- fleets. A bright bolero or turban, for instance, would turn the trick, if worn with a black dress.

Turkeys too valuable to take chances with its roasting. As 1t now looks, we'll have enough to give each civilian about 3 pounds this year, after the boys in service get theirs.
 Here's some good turkey talk by Kathryn B. Niles, home economist of the Poultry and Egg National Board:
 Cook by dry heat in an open pan. No water is added to the pan, no cover is used, and no basting Is done. Equipment: a shallow pan and rack. The shallow pan allows the heat to circulate around the bird. A rack, at least 12 inch high, raises the bird off the bottom, keeping it out of the pan juices. For Q large turkey, the broiler pan and its rack are excellent for roast ing.
 Roast Slowly
 Roasting slowly at low tempera- lures means less shrinkage, less loss of juices from the meat, and assures better flavor and appear ance. Use an oven temperature of S25 degres F., or moderately low, for the average sized turkey, and BOO degrees F., or low temperature, tor large turkeys. At these low temperatures, any roast needs little, if any, attention as 1t cooks. An 8 to 10-pound bird will require about to 3 Ia hours, at 10 to 14- pound bird about 1-2 to 4 hours, and a IA to 18-pound bird, 4 1-2 to 5 hours. Knowing about how long it will take to roast the bird is nec- essary so that all foods for the din- ne1' may be ready at the same time.
 PIace the truSsed bird breast side down on the rack in the pan. Sea Soniug the outside of the bird is useless since the seasoning does not penetrate the skin, and the salt CTS" will salt and pepper anyway. Cov0r with 8 clean white cloth moistened with melted cooking fat. The fat-moistened cloth holds the fat and keeps the bird greaSed, do- ing away with the necessity for basting. Roast until half done, place bird breast side up, replace cloth over top of bird. Remoisten cloth with fat if it is dry. Contin- ue roasting until done. Remove the cloth the last 20 to 30 minutes should the bird not be Drowned to suit. To know when the bird is

Before Atlantic City was selected as the site of the Fall National Tournament in December. Indian apolis was seriously considered. It was decided, however, to wait until the war is over before taking the tournament to Indianapolis.
 One of the outstanding names fin bridge there is Joseph E. Cain, who recently won the Western States team of -four championship with three New York players-Mrs. Lester Rhodes, Harold Ogust, and Leo Roet.
 Here is a nice squeeze play that produced an extra trick for Cain. After Vests unusual opening lead of the king of clubs, he continued Hith Q small club. Cain (South) went Hp with dummy's queen and led the pjack of hearts, East refus- Ing to cover. A small diamond was led from dummy and won with the jack. A diamond was returned, East won with the ace and caShed the jack of clubs. A small heart was led, and now you can see Vests predicament. He could not protect clubs and spades, and as result Cain made four-odd.

 health. With the blind faith of the young and inexperienced they wait until the last minute before call ing the doctor, and then expect him to find 8 hospital bed for them, bring them safely through the delivery, and place in their arms a beautiful healthy baby.
 It is true that that is exactly the way the story ends in many cases. But such lack of foresight places the doctor and the hospital at 8 great disadvantage and en- dangers the lives of thousands of mothers and babies.
 TAKE RISKS
 As soon as a woman knows that g baby is expected she should locate a good doctor and have a thorough physical examination After that she can look to, him for advice and supervision on all mat ters pertaining to her health, and to her plans for care at the time of the baby'S birth.
 The home nurses who have an opportunity to advise some of these young prospective mothers, who do not realize the risks they are taking when they fail to con- suit doctor, will be rendering a service to them and to the doctor as well.
 If they are in a strange com munity and do not know the doc tors they may be instructed to go to the health department and ask for the names of reliable physici- ans who specialize in maternity cases. The health department can also give them information about local hospital facilities.
 They should be encouraged to make their plans well in advance so that their minds may be free from worry and there may be no hurry and uncertainty at the last min- ute. More important still, their irl- troduction to motherhood may be made as safe and as comfortable as possible.

 The point is that men may not understand, and so expect daily letters from their wives no mat ter how busy or tired they may be, or how little time they may have for writing letters And if that is true, the women who fail to write as many letters as their husbands expect are making a sad mistake.
 SAVE HOUR A DAY
 Somehow they ought to man. age to save an hour of each day or night for letter writing. They would if they were convinced that daily letter was as much their duty as giving the baby his cod liver oil every day or making beds and washing dishes.
 No matter how strongly a wo- man feels that she hasn't time to write a letter every day or hasn't enough to say to warrant daily letter-if her husband expects one she should manage to get one of.
