 (Second of three articles based on the new book, Common Sense
 Contract" by Mrs. Olive Peter son of PhiIadelphiaD
 In mentioning the principle of anticipation, feature of every good bidding system, Mrs. Peterson quite rightly states that while the orig inal bid may present no problem, the rebid when partner responds often does. This is why, as a result of bitter and costly experience, every good player before opening the bidding considers carefully what his next bid will be, if partner res- ponds with his shortest suit.
 Good players today, holding Spades A @ 5; Hearts A 2 6; Diamonds K 2; Clubs ', open one spade rather than one heart, des- pite the extra card in the heart suit, simply to be prepared for the next bid by partcer.
 With 8 choice between two four card suits, the higher ranking should be bid, if the suits are ad- jacent; but with a hand of only medium strength, the lower ranking should be bid where the suits are not adjacent in rank. For instance, with Spades A J 5; Hearts e 5; Diamonds A. Q 2 6; Clubs J 2, the better opening bid is one dia- mond, not one spade. A glance ahead in the bidding shows that one spade can be bid over one heart, and if partners response is one no trump, nothing has been lost by suppressing the information that you hold the weak four-card spade suit.
 Following the principles laid down by the Four Aces system, with whose views Mrs. Peterson is largely in accord, she strongly recommends the opening bid of one club on hands strong in high cards but weak in distribution. For example, if you hold SSaGes A K 5 4; Hearts 2 6 3; Diamonds 8 3 2; Clubs A 0 J, she states without qualification that the cor- rect opening bid is one club rather than one spade.

 Your own organization might be able to improve on the New York plan. It would, for instance offer the service every afternoon and extend it to enlisted men as well as to officers.
 Such project is certainly worth while. Take look at Private and Mrs. Smith, for instance:
 He has a few days leave, not long enough to come home, but long enough for the couple to meet in city which is a halfway point for both.
 Mrs. Smith has to bring Junior, aged two, because his father hasn't seen him since he was a baby, and because there is nobody at home to leave him with.
 Well, the family is happily in being united, but the soldier and

Beauties Hints
 Make a Towel Mitt To Stretch Supply Of Soap
BY ALICIA HART NEA Staff Writer

You may have had difficulty from time to time in buying soap chips, and bemoaned the fact that you had to use bar soap for rtnsing out your lingerie at night.
 But have you been making the most of your soap supply? AS you know, glycerine is an important soap ingredient and also very vital one in the making of munitions. So there isn't the unlimited supply of soap we had in pre-war days.
 All of US will have to make cer- tain that we're always going to have enough good quality soap for our complexions and dainty lingerie, by using every scrap of soap.
 For instance, when your com plexion soap bar is almost gone, you can supplement your soap chip supply by slivvering whatever is left. Or save 1t until you have a half cup Of odds and ends of soap, then add five cups of water to 1t and make batch of soap jelly.
 Another excellent use is to sew soap ends into a four-inch square bag made of a piece of old bath towel, fasten strap across ths back, and you have soap mitt to use for your shower or washing out the bathtub.

As a result, shopkeeperS find they are stuck with an enormous stock of frozen" night clothes and underwear, and have ap- pealed for a reduction in their coupon values. Clothing Control Ter Hugh Dalton has consistently turned them down, though. It would give the squanderers too much food for imitation, he be- ueves.
 These stock piles won't stay on the shelves for long, however, it's runored. The underwear and other frozen" merchandise-most- Ly raincoats, dresses and cotton shirts of poor wearing quality will prove valuable in plans for the re- mobilization of liberated countries.
 The make-do-and-mend injunc- ton of the government has taught even the most expensively dressed Mayfairites the wisdom of thrift. Thousands of wealthy women, who before the war never would have dreamed of having clothes made over, have found that the coupon crisis recognizes no class. Today they are having things re- styled not only once but again the following year.
 They have also found that or- ders for new custona-made clothes must be placed early and patience practiced. for today 1t takes up to four months to have 6 new suit or coat made and delivered.
