PIG "0AkIE" E pET OF SERVICE
 MEN IN WEST

TUNNEL, Alaska-Almost every military or naval unit in Alaska has a dog for a pet, but a group of 714th Railway Battalion men stationed at this outpost along the Alaska Railroad can claim the most unusual pet in Alaska-their pig, Oskie.'
 Oskie was discovered by the men early one morning last summer apparently having slipped through the open spaces between the boards of a ventilated freight car. He was only few days old at the time.
 Careful watching by all the men aided the porker in passing the 1G0-pound mark and he is gaining all the time One of the leading caretakers was TIA Harold R. vittum, from 2OS5 Second Street, Oskaloosa, Iowa, the heart of the pig raising country. It was only natural that the new pet should be christened "Oskaloosa" and from that evolved the shorter name fof "Oskie" siti
 Asked when they planned to test Cskie for sugar cured ham quality, the men looked at each other until Sergeant Vittum volunteered the information well, maybe snext spring. But by watching the mems expressions when the question was asked it was easy to see that there was about as much chance of them butchering this pet as there was of any one of them turning down an Army discharge.

 Possibly before the child came she was employed and too engrossed in her job to feel the need of out side affiliations Also, assume she is in her thirties-as you are 60 and she has been married some years and child-bearing and rearing at that age is a major nervous strain, not so easily taken in stride as in the twenties. But when she gets her second wind, II daresay she will draw friends around her if she wants them-and if you give her elbow room to shift for herself.
 Finally, I think this: Your anxious reluctance to take your ease in Florida for a season gives the measure of your need to get out of a rut and stretch your mind in new surroundings. I think you've probably held your nose to the grindstone for so many years that you have a guilty feeling it would be sinful to sun yourselves while others toll. Nonsense. Go in peace to take the rest you've richly earned.

 SEQUINS ADD "OOMPH"
 Disclaiming any designing talent, the slim movie actress studies fash ion pictures for ideas she can adapt to her own needs. For instance, a drab, black flannel dress perked up to her wardrobe standards when she sewed sprinkling of black sequins over the bodice and cinched in the waist with a narrow, black, patent leather belt. She sewed a few more of the sequins on black gloves and was ready for any occasion.
 She used black sequins for an- other outfit that needed "oomph". This time she sewed an inch-Wide strip of them straight across the bustline of an old favorite lime and black thin wool sweater.

TAKE A HOLIDAY; ALL~WILL PROFIT

DEAR O. F.: It is time to break up this family huddle for the good of all concerned, because it is neither normal nor desirable for elderly parents and married chll- dren with or without offspring) to foster and cling to a program of daily visits for mutual consolation, | to the exclusion or neglect Of other social connections.
 It may be true, as you say, that your close attendance on your daughters household makes up to her for the friends she lacks. But if so, that arrangement is bad. Even though your intentions are generous, you are doing her great disservice if you are encouraging her to lean on you and let the world go by.
 However, I wonder if your version of the situation is correct? I won der if you, for lack of social initla- | tive, with time on your hands and adjusted to a 40 years routine Of thinking always of family-I won der if you may have dreamed up an acute sense of responsibility to her, especially since the baby came, that the facts don't justify, for the unconscious purpose of treating yourself to a second lease on bus tling matriarchal consequence?
 It is my feeling that your doting solicitude is both a social and psychological handicap to your daughter, whether she recognizes 1t or not. I believe she would ex- perience relief and social profit in the long run if, beginning now, you cleared out to Florida annually, leaving her to manage the child as she sees fit, and even loaf in dis order when the spirit moves, in- stead of keeping him and the household up to snuff for your daily anticipated excursions be- hind the scenes.
 As for why she hasn't friends with her child still in the infant stage, and possibly with all her own work to do, and your high standards of excellence to meet, maybe she is too tired at present to make any social effort. Maybe her idea of heaven just now would be to live on a desert island with hus- band and child, until she recoups

BEAUTIES HINTS
By ALICIA HART NEA Staff Writer

Most of us have misty ideas of how beautifully we would dress If we could only afford it." But Vir-' ginia ("The Kid From Brooklyn'O Mayo doesn't waste time dreaming about lovely dresses. She wheels out her sewing machine and does some thing practical about it.
 It is Virginias theory that an in- expensive dress takes on an clu- sive salon air if it is properly fitted and boasts lively original touch. Altering her own clothes is no chore for her, because she's been doing it for years. With the help of friend who pins the dress to fit, she takes a tuck here, lets out seam there and isn't satisfied until it looks just right. Just right to Virginia means an easy-fitting shoulder and hipline, but a very snug waistline.
 Because she believes the waist line is a focal point of a dress, belts

DoN,T TAKE TT TOO EASY

Now I'm afraid some readers may get the wrong impression rom my observation in reference to waking on eggs when some doctor has sug- gested or advised that you take IL easy on account of a touch oI angina pectoris, coronary occulslon' thrombosis or some such trouble You may remember how l horned into the china shop and cut loose Ill my diffident faShion-I said that II I had any such trouble I'd keep right on bowling or the green tor even playing tenpins if there were no lawn bowling available) or play ing a few holes or doing whatever
 I enjoyed doing, as long as coulo navigate under my own power. TOT it is my belief that ones chance ol remaining upright is as good II one continues to enjoy life to reasonable degree as it is if one plays the complete invalid. In either event, as nearly as l can judge by available statistics, one Is as likely to pop off as to carry on indefinitely-So, l say, whats the use of going to ones rest Ill stlch a hurry, since, heaven knows, there will be an eternity to rest in the sweet by-and-by.
 This applies only to mature adults with organic" heart disease. It does not apply to young persons with rheumatic heart disease-en- docarditis inflammation of heart lining) developing as a compllca- lion or a sequel of rheumatic fever or 'infammatory rheumatism" or acute infectious arthritis or quinsy or acute tonsillitis or chorea (St Vituss dance). Nor does it apply 10 any valvular leakage which may result from endocarditis. In such cases the question of rest of grad uated exercise is one which can be answered intelligently only by the physician who knows the patients present condition. It is almost eX- clusively a question of efficiency The patient with Valvular leakage may be more or less handicapped in his or her physical activity but with reasonable care in building and maintaining reserve power the patient should reach his or her full expectation of life. Statistics show that one with valvular heart disease is little if any more likely toto play the leading role in that faml'Tar fictional drama Heart At tacl han are you and. to go to iail-on second thought withdraw the latter and substitute you and your Aunt Harriet, for, after all, the bulls may get me eventually.
 The wholesome idea I am trying to convey is this scientific fact: "heart failure" simply does not strike out of a clear sky. Although the alarming news item may imply or say that the deceased had ap- peared to be in the best of health and spirits. it's a ten-to-one shot that if the truth were revealed it would amount to frank acknowl- edgement of a long period of inn paired health and progressive car dio-vascular (heart and artery) de- generation or wearing out.

DEAR MARY HAWORTH: Your counsel is worthwhile and we would like your opinion on what we should do in this situation: At the age or 50, my husband and I are financial ly independent. For years we have looked forward to time when we could spend each winter Ill Florida. We are tired and deserve this.
 Our daughter, who has been'mar- ried for seven years, presented us with grandson one year ago. He is a fine little fellow and loves us both. Our daughter and her hus- band have only a few friends here, and so we see them every morning or afternoon.
 If we go to Florida, they will miss us very much we know; and so will our grandson. And we may feel, all the time we are away, that we are missing a great deal, too, i'll spending the winter apart from him. It's so hard for us to make up our minds just what to do! what would you do?

If both the ace and queen are on your left, you might make two tricks; but you need only one trick for your contract, and you have a perfect right to assume that the ace and queen are split.
 Going right up with the king protects you If the ace wins on your right, the next time you get in lead the small spade towards the jack. The queen wins and you have the jack for valuable dis card. Thus you make trick in the suit even if you misguess the ace,
