Beuuties' Hints Contrast Bath Puts Bounce
 Back Into Feet
BY ALICIA HART NEA Staff Writer

How can you make feet want to step out at night" asks a girl war worker, "after they've borne the weight of your job all day7"
 There are plck-me-ups which she anc other girls whose feet bear the brunt of their work can use to put bounce in their steps. an done of the best is the contrast bath.
 When you get home. fill two bowls with water. one hot and one cold. If flesh feels badly put upon or if feet perspire, dump a hand full of alum or table salt into the cold water. Now. plunge feet alter nately Into the two foot baths. After stitching several times, dry and powder feet.
 Then sprinkle some foot powder into the Things of your shoes. Put on fresh stockings. For these feet that need all the indulgence you can heap upon them, stockings should not haze holes or darns in them or any soap left in from a careless washing. And they should fit your feet.

 Wen bet that Idea of having Q stream just for women was an Idea the men cooked up. That way they could discourage women from cona- peting with them in their own chosen streams.
 MEN FEAR COMPETITION
 It is certainly the reason why SO many men are already talking about sending women back home as soon as the war is over. What men really mean when they say ''women's place Is in the home" is "If we give them their own stream to fish in, and discourage them from fishing ours, they won't be cluttering up the place. and we won't have to compete with them"
 And that is a line that women should be too smart to go for. even if the bait is made to look attrac- tive.

The Michigan State Open Pair championship was won this year by two of the greatest players Of the Middle West. Arthur Glatt and AL bert Weiss of Chicago. These two boys are not only fine players. but exceedingly popular as well, as they never criticize, no matter how hand goes.
 While they did not reach the maximum on the bidding of today's hand. 1 think that the play was very fine. Glatt tSouth) won the opening lead with the queen of hearts and cashed the ace and king. To get anywhere on the hand, he realized that he had to find West with the ace of spades, in which case there was a possibility for an end- play.
