 Put your protective preparation on every inch of exposed skin Then be choosey about picking your spot in the sun. Experts say you tan quicker near the water or if you settle on any white area-painted porch, sheet, stretch of sand-where reflected glare is intensified
 But glare that can hasten tan can also wreak havoc with your eyes and cause trouble all down the line So don't go into the sun without the protective shield of dark glasses or pads of cotton made into opaque folds, which block any penetration of light.
 Sun-time to avoid, if your skin is sensitive all you can hope to acquire is rosy flush in that two- hour interval between noon and 3 D. m. when rays are directly overhead and most intense. Best time for you would be during the forenoon when the sun is climb ing, or after 3 p. m, when its strength begins to Wane.

 It seems every newspaper you pick up carries some tragic story of a home accident that need never have happened. Such children burn ing to death while their mother is at a neighborS or a child'S getting hold of lye, or a farm house burn ing to the ground because some one used kerosene to start fire in the kitchen range, are common.
 Families should feel proud of their no accident" records, but by the same token should feel foolish and guilty over small accidents that could have been prevented by some simple precaution.

In this convention, the play of an unnecessarily high card may be asking partner not to continue that suit but to shift to the higher of the two suits not trump.
 Before playing o the first trick, West had to stop and count his defensive tricks. The bidding prac- tically marked North with five hearts. That meant that East had only two hearts.
 Therefore West played the queen of diamonds. asking his partner to shift to a heart. West won the heart trick with the ace and re- turned a heart.
 Now you can see what happened AS soon as trump was led from dummy, West jumped in with the ace and led third heart, giving his partner ruff to defeat the contract.

about possible dangers in the home itself and in household work could eliminate great many causes of accidents.
 Just such simple precautions as never leaving small child in a house alone, turning handles of cooking utensils away from the front of stove, repairing faulty steps and making throw rugs secure, can prevent many home accidents. To ignore them is a real crime.
 And instead of being careless about their familys safety, par ents could learn to take real pride in their own family's mo accident" records.
