WE, THE WOMEN
Servicemen Want Rambling Letters About Home Life

nothing is too trivial to put into a letter to the man away from home. He would be interested in hearing that she went down town to buy curtains, stopped in the drug store for coke and what the peo- pie who stopped to talk with her had to say.
 WANTS ANECDOTES
 And the serviceman wants to hear all sorts of anecdotes about Junior Especially the kind he can get some fun out of repeating) for that is the only way he has of keeping up with his growth and development
 He likes to find clippings stuck into the letter too, the kind of items his wife might read aloud from the evening paper if he were at home"
 That ought to be good news to all the women who write regu- larly to service men. For most women's lives are pretty drab just now. But if it is the little details of everyday living at home the men want to hear-they can certainly give them plenty of chit-chat.

 that infection may not be spread, or the specimen spoiled so that it is of no value. The doctor will sometimes provide containers for specimens, but it is not always possible to get these when you need them, and prenatal cases are usually expected to provide their own con- tainers.
 If specimen of sputum is re- quested, a small wide-mouthed mayonnaise jar with 8 screw cap, Or a half-pint fruit jar makes a convenient container. It should be washed with soap and water, and boiled in clean water for IS minutes. Lift it Uut with a spoon, being care full not to touch the inside of the cap or jar.
 The patient should rinse his mouth after eating to remove all food particles. He should then be instructed to cough and expecto- rate the material raised directly into the jar, being careful not to contaminate the outside of it. The lid should be applied and the jar kept right side up until it is given to the doctor. The name of the patient and the date should be written on a label and pasted on the jar.
 To collect . urine specimen, clean and boil a bottle and cork, as described above, and let it cool A morning specimen of urine is us- ually desired. It may be voided in a clean bedpan or jar and poured into the bottle with the aid of a funnel made rom heavy paper over which a hot iron has been passed to ster- ilize 1t. The specimen should be labeled and kept in a cool place un- til it can be given to the doctor.

STRAND

Mrs. Parkington, the new Metro Goldwyn-Mayer picture which is featured at the Strand theater, is in the fine tradition of all the previous Greer Carson Walter Pidgeon pro- ductionS.
 These two, and an outstanding supporting cast, bring the best-sell- ing Louis Bromfield novel to cine- matic life with zest and great vigor. As the dynamic Mrs. Parkington, Miss Carson is dashing and domin- ating, worldly woman with the world at her feet.
 Pidgeon, in this film, portrays a reckless, ambitious and flamboyant man, far cry from his MT. Miniver or Pierre Curie. Together, they prove-if further proof were need- ed-that they are at once the great- est most versatile film starring team in many years.
 An outstanding supporting cast, headed by Edward Arnold, Agnes Moorehead and Cecil Kellaway, and including Gladys Cooper, Tom Drake, Frances Rafferty and Peter Lawford, among others, is seen in support of the stars.
 You will not want to miss Mrs. Parkington," picture which is bound to enthrill you every minute of the time.
 A Pete Smiths short, and an M- G-M cartoon complete the bill.

Practically every player opened with two spades, and North re- sponded with two no trump. East and West did no bidding. Now what would you bid with these cards? Would you bid three clubs or four clubs? Well, that is what almost everybody else did, trying to stop a club lead and force a heart lead. bid four clubs and my partner bid four diamonds. Thinking that I would certainly get a heart lead now, I bid six spades. But West cashed the king of clubs, then laid down the ace of clubs. There was nc possible entry to dummy, and the opponents simply held on to the queen of hearts. AS practically every body in the room went down one. the score was not too bad.
 The hand would have been stronger with the 9-2 of spades rather tha nthe 9-8. If partner had three spades to the eight-spot, and the ten fell on the secand lead, the deuce could have been led into duln- my to take the heart f1nesse.
