Today's hand, which is board four of the second session, found only one pair playing the hand at six clubs. Six clubs seems to be pretty good contract. as there are I2 tricks if either the heart or spade finesse works. It happens that they are both wrong, so the pair who bid six clubs went down.
 One pair tried to play the hand at six no trump. and interestingly enough, that contract cannot be made even if both illnesses work; there are still only II tricks-tiye clubs, two diamonds. two hearts and two spades.

Would you like to know the secret of looking and feeling daisy fresh after tough day2 It's equal izing the work of all your muscles, as any one of the Uncle Sam's nieces WAVE, WAC, Marine Reserve or Spar-can tell you.
 For whether it's marching or moving a heavy load, she has been taught how to muster the right muscles to equalize strain. She never makes the mistake, as so many of us do, of punishing one set of muscles to equalize strain. She never makes the misntake, as so many of us do, of punishing one set of mus cles and letting another set go scot free.
 To save your back in lifting a heavy object, don't stoop down to it, and pull up. Bend at the knees, lower your body so as to get down and under, then lift. In carrying ar object, center it so that your whole body carries the load; not just one side of you.
 You can push a heavy object, even a stalled automobile, say the War Departments physical train- ing experts, if you'll brace your feet, lean forward from the ankles, and heave with your entire weight.
 When you pull something heavy there will be no misery in the back to reproach you. if youIl apply the same principle of equalizing strains and muster all of your muscles SC that though the strong bear the brunt of job, even the weak dc their puny bit too.

Ruth MilIett come important to find methods for speeding up housework, similar to the speed-up methods used in factories.
 Right now industrial engineers are analysing and breaking down household jobs in the way that fac tory jobs are broken down and simplified, and farm women are their indor jobs SO that they can spend more time working on the land.
 SPARE TIME USEFUL
 This is a fine thing for women and for their future place in the world. It was absurd to say that the trouble with women was that modern conveniences and equip ment had left them too little housework.
 There is nothing in the drudgery side of housework that will me,ke women happy or contended with her lot. So the more drugery is taken out of it and the more household tasks are speeded up, the better of women will be.
 For they always can use their time to advantage, just as the majority of them are doing today.
 The war has given them a chance to find out how helpful they can be outside their homes, and just how much their com munities need them.
 It isn't likely they'll forget the satisfaction of work outside the home and go back to e7pandering their leisure when the war iS over.

The East hand held Spades K 10 s 4: Hearts A 0 10 2; Diamonds g
 68 2; Clubs g. The South hand held Spades 2 3 2; Hearts g 8 4 g.; Diamonds A K o J8 3; Clubs none.
 South had no clubs. Even if his partner threw the queen of spades, he would be afraid that the de- clarer would be out of spades and that the surest way to set the con- tract would be to continue the third diamond. It was almost irn- possible for him to visualize that West held eight clubs and that they were solid. If North held as good as four clubs to the ten-spot, the re- turn of the diamond was sure to defeat the contract. Mrs. Seligman trumped her partners good diamond and cashed her ace of spades.

STATE

Held over for three extra days "Gung Ho!" will continue showing at Warmers State theater through performances Tuesday evening in- stead of ending tonight as previ- ously planned.
 Since its opening performances Wednesday "Gung Ho!' has been seen and enjoyed by thousands of Waterburians all of whom have acclaimed it 8 fitting tribute to Colonel Carlson and his gallant Ma rine Raiders and one of the most thrilling pictures ever to come out of Hollywood.
 History is most ably recorded for posterity in the new thrill film that depicts the first offensive action Of America against Japan in the dar- ing Marine Corps raid on Maxim Island.
 Based on the exploits of Carlson's Raiders, the brave group of 210 es- pecially trained Marines that de- stroyed every Jap and every enemy installation on Maxim in the South Pacific "Gung Ho!" is an authentic tribute to Lieutenant Colonel Evans F. Carlson and his fighti-'r r
 Randolph Scott plays the role of Colonel Thorwald, tne c4A.-.4lu p-.- totype of Colonel Carlson, and makes his role a truly rugged DOT trayal Noah Berry, Jr., and David Bruce, as brothers who are rivals for the affections of lovely Grace Mcdonald, carry the roman tic portion of the film.
 Alan Curtis, Sam Levene, J. Car rol Naish, Richard Lane, and Mil burn Stone all have featured roles as members of the daring guerrilla band that struck terror into the hearts of the Jap garrison.
 Excellent photography lends gra- phic realism to the battle scenes, outstanding of which are those aboard the giant submarine, and also the hand-to-hand slaughter of the Japanese.
 "Swingtime Johnny" with the An drewS Sisters and Harriet Hilliard is the second hit of the program.
 Flesh and Fantasy" the star studded film reproduced by Charles Boyer and Julien Duvivier comes to the State starting Wednesday. The new picture is acclaimed as one of the most deeply expressing mocion pictures ever to come out of Holly wood and stars Cahrles Boyer and Barbara Stanwyck in addition to Robert Benchley, Betty Field. Rob- ert Cummings. Edward G. Robin son, and a score of other favor ties.

It should never be hotter than 150 degrees. If you have no thermometer test the water by pouring a little on the inner side of the arm. If you can bear it comfortably on your skin it should be safe for the bot tie.
 The bag should be filled about half full-less, if it is to be ap- piled to a sensitive part where the weight would be uncomfort- able. Don't leave it bulging.
