was the demure Gibson girl, when she was the f1amboyant flapper
 when she was the oomph girl.
 The postwar world will find a new name for her, to be sure. For sweater girl' is getting old. And we like the name for each crop of feminine young beauty to be as new and fresh as what they rep resent.
 The name doesn't change the article. It's the same thing, gen. eration after generation. And al- ways the older folks think it is terrible the way the current crop of young things behaves. THEY'RE FAMILY GIRLS
 But in spite of the dire predic- tions, the sweater girls-or what ever they happen to be called = eventually find husbands and set- tie down to having children of their own.
 Sure, the sweater girl is here to stay. For when she is gone there won't be any more generations. She is the girl who gets whistled at to- day, and tomorrow is busy running a home and sending children off to school.

While George W. Beynon may not be known to many home bridge players, he is known to every tourn- ament player in the country, and his name will be recorded in bridge history. He has been conducting tournaments for 20 years or more. He has written a manual which is used by tournament directors throughout the country and has designed many of the movements and forms used in bridge. Those of us who have tried to figure Georges age estimate he must be between 75 and 80-but he still plays a good game of bridge.
 Tn today's hand, most North play CTS made the mistake of bidding two diamonds over one heart. but Beynon concealed the diamond suit with a bid of two no trump. The bidding then became fast and furi.

 PLUG LEAKS
 Trying to heat a porous house. experts say, is like trying to fill a kitchen colander with water. By tightening up or insulating points where cold air currents enter-lealsy side walls, attic, doors and win- dow glass, cracks and air holes iii putty or window pafles - you can save considerable heat. An in- sulated attic, for instance, will save as much as 25 per cent loss of heat.
 { Do you use radiators? For effi= cient heating, keep coils free of dust. Don't fence them in with covers, don't use for drying wet wash, and don't cover with heavy curtains. If heat from radiator warns only one side of the room, turn an electric fan on it to set up an air current that will cir culate through the room. Radi- ators will throw more heat back into the rooms if you'll put behind them reflectors made of sheets of plywood or composition painted in a light color.

 Thin legs will improve in shape by skipping rope on tiptoes. Deep knee bends with one leg extended straight out in front of the body are good, too.

 SHUT DOORS
 Coal-saving tips? A deep fire bed from grate to fire door saves more fuel than a shallow bed. A mechanical stoker and thermo- static control that prevents over heating are coal savers. Banked fires, which reduce temperature to prevent overheating of house, save coal. If your house is going to be empty during the day, bank fires in the morning. Closed damp- CTS in heating pipes that lead to unused roonls-and keeping doors to these rooms shut-will save fuel.

BEWARE CARBOLIC ACID

Five days after ward Gas the childS parent des- cribes it) in the hospital the doctor informed the parent the child had "carbolic gangrene.' 2
 Now this is confusing. The par ent is vague or careless about the identity of the doctor-no telling from the letter whether one doctor gave the child the first aid treat- ment and the treatment in the hos- pital, or perhaps a second doctor horned in and took charge in that ethical way doctors who hang around hospitals or hold stair po- sitions do when such case comes in. I know. served as a physician on the staff of hospital for years. It's nice racket if you can wangle 8 place on the staff. Not so nice for those who practice on their own.
 The doctor at the hospital told the child's parent the child had "carbonic gangrene" and that it was caused by the Careful, now, Brady, you'll stir up a veritable hor- nets nest if you just presume the trade name for the product is no longer private property)--well, we'll call it the Saponated Solution of Cresol or Solution of Cresol with Soap, which had been used as an "antiseptic" in the dressings. The parent says they changed doctors and the second doctor (ah, then, the first doctor talked himself out of the picture, eh?) amputated at once, where the gangrene was. The first doctor had been waiting for the gangrene to stop. Does gang rene stop? (Signed -)
 I (Brady) imagine the first doc tor had discontinued use of the cresol and was waiting to see whether the blanching or apparent death of the injured tissues would clear up. That, I should say, was good sense. I'd want to wait and see If my fingers were at stake.
 Cresol is virtually crude "carbolic acid"-ofhcially 1t is g. mixture of cresols and other phenols obtained from coal tar" The official name for "carbolic acid" is phenol.
 In my judgment neither "carbolic acid" (phenol) nor cresol nor any preparation containing phenol or cresol should be used on any cut, abrasion or wound. I believe 1t is too dangerous, too likely to cause gangrene (death of the tissues or the finger itself). believe even the weakest "carbolic salve' or other ointment containing phenol or cre- sol retards natural healing by de- stroying delicate new cells as fast as they can form.
