. MCKINNEY on BRIDGE
BY VIM. E. MCKINNEY
Americas Card Authority

A. M. Sobel, tournament manager
of the American Contract Bridge
League, gave me an interesting hand
in which a false-card by the de-
clarer caused him to lose the con-
tract.
The bidding was normal, and In
most cases the queen of diamonds
was the opneing lead. Declarer cor
rectly did not cover with the king
and East held the trick. The drop
of the ten-spot warned East that
declarer was out of diamonds, SO
he shifted to the king of hearts, on
which West played the five-spot.
If declarer had played the deuce
of hearts there would have been no
way for East to tell whether his
partner held the four or six or
seven. With the drop Of the deuce
from North's hand, few East players
would have sufficient nerve to con-
tinue with the ace of heart suit,
They would prefer to lead another
diamond and try to cash a dla-
mond trick.
The declarer playing against Sobel
made the mistake OF false-cardlng
with the seven-spot on the king OF
hearts. Now East's knew that his
partner was trying to complete an
echo. If West held the six, he would
have played it rather than the five
with two hearts; and with three
hearts he would have played the
lower one. Therefore, East with no
uualms could cash his ace OF hearts
and give his partner a ruff.

BY ALICIA HART
NEA Staff Writer

How many times have you
grieved-almost wept-over a hair
do wrecked by pulling blouse or
dress over your head?
Well, you can get in or out Of
anything without mussing hair
without leaving lipstick smear
on your clothes, either-if you'll
carefully wrap up your head. prior
to the scramble, in big square Of
filmy fabric-a mans silk handker-
chief Is not quite large enough-and
will pull all corners forward and
hold them in your mouth.
This trick is used by fashion
models dozens Of times day, and
explains why they come out in one
quick change after another with
never hair out of place and with
no tell-tale red on the clothes.
The model who lets you in on
this secret tells you another: to
remove a "lipstick mouth"-not the
surface one but the pale, stubborn
pink stain that Sticks-swab with
peroxide.

A third method is to use a wooden
box or pasteboard carton that is IA
to 16 inches deep and wide enough
to allow free movement Of the feet
under it, Remove one side and place
the box under the covers and over
the feet. A small pillow between the
box and the soles Of the feet will
keep the toes upright.
If the patient suffers from cold
feet place one or more well-wrapped
hot water bottles under the box
next to the feet. If desired, the IN
side Of the box can be lined with
cloth in such way as to provide a
pocket at the inside and ends to
hold hot water bottles, hot bricks or
other heating appliances.

STRAND

For the first time, the shocking
truth about the personal life OF
the Japanese sadiStic wife traders
,nreeled nj "Hari Kari" one OF
the most unusual and satisfying
piecves of screen entertainment
now playing at the Strand theater:
The picture, a Leon Garganoff
production, which was adapted from
the sensationally prophetic "Thun-
der in the East" brings to an en-
thusiastic public for the first time,
the truth about the japanese.
Charles Boyer, Merle Oberon and
John Loder head of the all-star
cast.
Bower is magnificent as the Mar
uuis Yoisaka, a Japanese naval COM
mander, who true to the traditions
of the ancient Samurai, sacrifices all
personal emotions in order to gain
military victory. Stationed on Yori-
saka finally gains Victory, but real
ICES that It was the enemy's blum
ders and not the superiority OF the
Japanese feet which was respon-
sible for the victory. Knowing that
Fergan will submit detailed report
of the battle to the British high
command, Korisaka determines to
learn its contents at any cost, and
thus discovers where his tactics
were at fault
Ruthlessly sacrificing his own
wife, he subtly maneuverS the un-
suspecting woman into the British
officers willing arms.
Faced with the loss Of personal
honor and defeat, Yorisaka brings
the picture a tensely emotional close
by taking the traditional Japanese
way out.

Folks Back Home Eager
To Hear From The Boys

all of the letters that are written
don't make 1t home.
Still, 1t wouldn't hurt II the en-
tertainers and the correspondents
would take back to the men in for
eign service the same message they
have brought so often to the folk
back home: your letters are i'm
portant."
HELPS PEACE OF MIND
For the men dent all write as
often as they should. They don't
always realize just how much the
folks back home are worrying
because the folks back home don't
admit their fears.
And sometimes they get the idea
that there's no use writing letter
if they haven't anything to say
They don't realize that they only
need to say one thing, I'm okay.
Long, interesting letters are
fine, and families read them over
and over. But a weekly I'm all
right" message does a lot more for
a family's peace of mind than a
carefully thought out letter that
gets written only once a month.

diet, and Is cut to / ration point a
pound compared to points year
ago.
Buy bacon frequently, not lot
at time for storage. Bacon, ir
common with all perishable foods,
must be kept we'll refrigerated
and eaten promptly.
Not only is point value very
low, but homemakers receive two
red tokens from meat dealers for
every pound Of salvaged fat from
drippings. However. use as much
of the drippings as you can In
cooking.
Bacon Sandwich Suggestions
Broil open-face sandwiches Of
cheese or peanut butter, topped with
bacon strips.
Combine bacon, in club-style
sandwiches, with tomato and let
tuce.
Grind bacon with cooked liver,
and make into patties for liver
burgers in buns.
Bacon and hard-cooked eggs
make a delicious sandwich.
Dice bacon and onion, pantry.
Mix with grated cheese, top bread
and broil.
