otter instance Of japanese borborty against FiPnos
as we'll as Americans captured on Bottom ond Cor
reeidor, was bosed on statements by two Army
officers and Navy officer who themselves suffered
for 36l days at the honds Of the enemy before they

If you intend to see Cary Grant and John Garfield in Destination Tokyo" currently at Warmers State heater you1l have to hurry as per- 5ormances tomorrow evening posi- lively conclude its engagement. A big surrounding program of car- toons and news rounds out the pro- gram.
 And then starting Wednesday the State ushers in another big hit of the new year with What A Wom- an" co-starring Rosalind Russell and Brian Aherne with Willard Parker new screen sensation.
 What A Woman" is acclaimed the sprightliest, gayest, most enchanting comedy in years. Couple the name of the screens sprightliest comedi- enne, Rosalind Russell, with that of its most artful and droll comedian Brian Aherne: add Its newest sensa- ton, Willard Parker, with his 6 feet 4 inches and 200 pounds of charm. put them into a scintillating story and the movie-going public should expect entertainment of the highest order.
 The film is all about Carol AinS- ley played by Rosalind high-pow- cred artists representative, and her attempt to find and sell a movie company a new star to play the title role in "The Whirlwind" the years top best-seller novel which she herself has just sold for pie tZa. It's no easy task. But she @allst succeed because she has built q aAR reputation for herself and has eRaEed 1t all in an advance publicity campaign which has the whole na- eon agog.

Don't kill a chicken until you get her wartime quota of eggs. That's one of Americas Victory New Years resolutions. Meaning, of course. that we'll have lots of fat hens and fewer broilers and flyers.
 Let's look at the progress of war through the homefront stom- ach. Don't get over -optimistc
 There's plenty to worry about, particularly your own menu is more important than the battle time table. You will get only a quarter of a pound of butter @ week. Also less fats and oils. And you'll be lim- ited to l32 poundc Of meat in l944.
 If you like Cheddar cheese with your apple pie. that's tough. Youll get about S7 per cent less in l944. Cheese makes up into a compact, valuable bundle 0. nutrition, flavor and familiarity for the boys out there doing thef fighting. They need it; we don't.
 If you like a glass of milk with cookies before turning in, that's lOGblls NOO. VIC hAAA IaNC do HlhNll fluid milk next year, but there are 20 per cent more customers, due to increased income. Some sort of rationing may have to be used. Children, invalids and pregnant and nursing mothers must come first. We'll have to start looking for our calcium in other more abundant foods.
 The Department of Agriculture predicts an overall food production that will be from to per cent larger than this year. But before you start smacking your lips read on: the problems of fertilizer. labor. machinery and transportation are grave. And add this to your market list: the war demands or our food supply will increase The fighting is going to be tough. Our own boys will need more of our food; so will our Allies, Lend-Lease and relief.

 ON BRIDGE
BY WM. E. MCKINNEY AmericAN Card Anth0Fity


 First Of three articles based on Che new book, Common Sense Contract" by Mrs Olive Peter son Oe Philadelphia. Mrs. Peterson
 Is an outstanding bridge teacher
 In the United States and is one
 of the three women Life Masters
 in the country. She has won nine
 national championshlps.)
 Mrs. Peterson uses the Four Aces system of hand valuation. In this an ace is worth 3, a king 2, Q queen 1, jack Ia, and thus the total value of the hand is 26 points.
 The rough-and-ready method of some players, who Ibid on 2is tricks in any position" is not fol- lowed. Rather, the important mat ter of distribution is taken into account, and the even more import ant question of the rebid, if part ner's response is unfavorable. For example, you may bid with a point count of 6k if you hold any seven- card Cor longer) suit, such as:
 Spades A o 10 2 6 5 A. Hearts 3 2; Diamonds K J 2; Clubs 2.
 Or with a strong six-card suit headed by two of the four top honor cards:
 Spades K Q 10 9 2 6; Hearts 3 2; Diamnods 8 2; Clubs A J 2.
 Of with two five-card( or longer) suits if one of the suits is strong, as:
 Spades K 9 8 2 6; Hearts A e J 10 g; Diamonds 3; Clubs 8 6.
 Or with any freak distribution and a good suit, such as:
 Spades A K e J g 8; Hearts 9 8 ' 6 5; Diamonds none; Clubs ?.
 AS hands become weaker in dis tribution, they must have a greater point count to justify an openin bid. A point count of 8ia, the equiv- alent of two aces, king and jack, is the minimum requirements for an opening bid with a f1ve-card suit, or a strong four-card suit, one headed by two of the four top hon. ors, as:
 Spades A 98 2 6; Hearts K 3; Diamonds A 6 5; Clubs 3-this is an opening bid, but take out the pack of hearts and subs j.ute low card, and 1t is not. With Spades K o 8 T; Hearts A 4 3; Diar' onds K 3: Clubs 2, you should 3id; but substitute a low card for he jack of clubs and the hand is a better pass,
 Mrs. Peterson says, however, never pass if as opening bidder you hold a point count of 9ls.

Beauties Hints
 Bad Posture Can Be Firing Even
 While You Sleep
BY ALICIA HART NEA Staff Writer


 Poor posture is often the cause of fatigue, and this is especially true Of those who sit while doing their work.
 If you spend long hours at a work table or desk, without many opportunities to get up and move around, it is important to you to learn the proper way to sit.
 First, of course, your chair must be right One which supports the small of the back where fatigue hits first. And, too, there should be plenty of kne eroom under the work bench or desk.
 Sit well back in the chair at all times, back erect but not stiff, so that your shoulders and arms will be free to move comfortably and keep both feet on the floor. If you're tempted to slump and cross your legs, just remember that it will crowd the abdominal organs retard circulation, impede reSpira- tion-in short make you dog tired long before the work day is done.
 Good standing posture is easy. Keep you rhead high and chin in, your shoulders back, chest up and froward, abdomen drawn up and in, and hips tucked under Sounds like quite a lot to remember, but after a week of concentration on these points 1t becomes a habit
 And, odd as 1t may sound, you can tire yourself out while sleep ing, if your bed has sagging springs or a poor mattress. The best type of bed is one with box springs or innerspring mattress which will give equal support to all parts of the body.

WE, THE WOMEN MISS MILLETT SAYS FAREWELL TO LIST OF WAR-WORN PHRASES
WE, THE WOMEN

Johnny Doughboy" That not only has become tiresome, but it has such light-hearted sound, con- sidering that We are talking about the men who are fighting and dy- ing for their country.
 And that is an over-worked phrase too-"fighting and dying" It rolls too easily from our lips and type writers, considering its meaning.
 Don't you know there's war on?" Surely everybody knows by this time. So let's quit asking the ques- ton.
