BEAUTIES HINTS
 Blueing Flakes Highlight Hair
BY ALICIA HART NEA Staff Writer

You who complain that a blue ing rinse goes berserk when it hits your gray hair-because you lack professional skill in applying it. might try simplif1ed trick which one woman I know says works like a charm.
 She borrows two tablespoonfuls of blueing flakes from her laundry box and after first washing her hair with her usual shampoon soap and after rinsing well. she dissolves these flakes in 8 washbowl of hot water. After swishing the stuff until it re- leases 8 flock of blue sudS, she again washes her hair with these, anc then rinses off with clear water.
 The effect is a hint of blue evenly distributed throughout the hair.

WE, THE WOMEN
Beautiful Wife Contest Is Full Of Marital Flax

not expect even her best friends to go around describing her as beauti- ful, she believes 1t is her husbands s duty to regard her as the most beau- tiful woman in the world.
 So each wife naturally would ex- pect to bet her husbands vote-if not the vote of any of the other husbands-who might be prejudiced, naturally, in favor of their own wives.
 HONEST BALLOTS
 And that would make the con- test something of a farce - unless unmarried members of the unit were allowed to cast their honest ballots.
 It looks as though men whose lives are just one bombing mission after another, have enough troubles with out getting themselves into a jam where they have to figure out what to say in a letter to pacify the wife who was an also-ran in a most beautiful wife" contest.
 But then maybe living dangerous ly has become a habit with them.

POLES

Western adventure and romance is told in fast moving style in Tall In The Saddle, now play ing at LoeW-Poli, starring John Wayne and Ella RaineS, picture based on Gordon Ray Young s serial story in the Saturday Even ing Post.
 Wayne has the role of Rocklin, a sloW-talking, woman-hating ranch foreman, tough as nails and handy in a fight. Ella Raines plays Arly Harolday, fiery-tempered and beau- tlful owner of the Santee Ranch. There's plenty of hard riding and 11ghtlng, both with guns and bare lists, and the speedy action is high lighted by the tempestuous romance between Rocklin and Arly, in this de luxe Western from RKO pictures
 Prominent in the large supporting cast besides Audrey Long, who plays Miss Raines' rival for the affec- tions Of the hating Wayne, are George "Gabby" Hayes, Elisa beth Rsdon and Ward Bond.
 Also on the samep rogram, Charlie Chan at his Oriental best in the Jade Mask, 8 mystery film answering the craving for some thing new" Sidney Toler as Charlie Chan, ably portrays the Chinese Detective. Comedy weights large among the ingredients out of which this exciting mystery was concoct- ed.

in which South could go to seven
 The bidding, as I give 1t to you. is the way 1t would go with the pair who uses the natural re. sponses to two bid Over three dia.. monds, South must not show his club suit. He must rebid his spadec to show length in that suit. Now North sets the suit when he jumpn to five spades.
 Souths bid of six clubs definitely shows the ace of club because they have agreed to play the hand al spades. North's bid of six hearts is an ace-showing bid and that is about all the information that South needs. He knows at best, now, that he can make seven with a spade finesse. but in all probability, North's bid of i've spades even includes the king of spades.
 Dr. Paul Stern of London told me that all pairs not using Black wood played this hand at sevcp spades, while the rest played t aA either i've or six spades.

While the BlackWood convention for bidding slams is used to a great extent around the country, most experts in the east still prefer ace showing bids.
 Today's hand is one in which a great many players using Black wood would not arrive at seven while most of the players using ace- showing bids would get there quickly
 A number of players, in response to two bid, will show aces. In other words, in repsonse to two spades, they would bid three hearts, and now when South bid four clubs, they would probably ably bid five spades,
