said, and drowning stands second
only to traffic accidents as cause
of accidental deaths in this group.

High School Football Impedes Growing Boys

tion determine in the course of a season or two whether the boy has athletic ability.
 Boys of high school age are gen. erally not fully grown and develop ed and should not attempt to train for endurance contests of any kind. Fooball is particularly harmful for growing boys-especially big" games between rival school teams, with all the artificial stimulation to extreme effort under which players are so likely to collapse from exhaustion "a minor matter in itself, but un- fortunately the damage the heart suffers in many instances is lasting if not irreparable. This same heart strain is the risk which makes cross-eountry runs Marathon rac- ing, 40 yard and mile running races 220 yard and longer hurdle races, or swimming over 50 yards unsuit- able for boys in their teens, suit able only for adults of university or senior college age
 Remember, please kids, am not opposed to athletics-on the con- trary believe every boy and every girl should be required to show req sonable proficiency in, say, swim ming, in order to graduate from highSchool.

The Physical education program in junior highschool stresses such endurance contests as running and soccer, says the mother of a boy in his early teens She would like to have him increase his manual skill, general ability and co,oxdina- tion by activities other than run ming and soccer, but the boy thinks that, being just woman, she doesn't understand such things-he must compete with others for the sake of the school, you know. As a result of this strenuous competition, the mother says, her son is irritable, awkward and always weary. She no- ticed my statement in this column, that high school football is bad medicine for any normal boy in his teens, and she hopes the boy will heed my advice if I will write to him.
 No, no I can't do that If this boy or any other boy or girl asks for my advice l am happy to give the best advice I can, on the basis of the information the correspond ent submits. But please do not ask me to serve as your catspaW in any circumstance.
 Activities or athletic training req sonably suited to the state of growth and physical development of boys in their teens are sprinting GOO and 220 yards, but not 40 yards or more) jumping, both high and broad jump, baseball, swim ming, diving, tennis, skating, pole vault, base ball throw. and for boys past the age of Is, not fat and weighing 125 pounds or over, put ting the 8-pound shot, fencing and boxing.
 In all of these athletic activities there is room for a good deal of training under the personal instruc- tion and supervision of the instrue- tor. Only by faithful adherence to the instructors advice and regular daily practice, to learn the lessons assigned by the instructor, can the boy hope to excel in his particular activity. In each instance the skill, agility and coordination the boy acquires throughout such applica-

MCKENNEY
 ON BRIDGE
BY WILLIAM E. MCKINNEY Americas Card Authority

I know that many of my read CTS like to see all 52 cards on every hand, but occasionally I like to give you just an honor combin- ation so you will study that one situation. Today's combination was given to me by Charles J. Solomon of Philadelphia, Life master of the American Contract Bridge League. He said, You are in the dummy (North). You will not be able to get into dummy again there are no other entries. Spades are trumps and you lead a small one from dummy, East follows. Which card should declarer play, one of the honors or the nine spot?" Solomon said he had pre- sented this problem to number of experts and none had been able to give a quick, definite answer.
 The correct play, he said, is the nine-spot. The only combination this loses to is the singleton ten spot in the West hand. If West holds the ace-ten or king-ten and declarer plays the nine on the first round. Vests high honor and his partners high honor will drop to- gether on the next round. If West holds the ace, king and ten, there is no way to keep from losing three tricks.
 Experts generally agree on the correct play of honor combina- tions, and are usually opposed to a first round hnesse, but this is one of the few exceptions.

 The voyage didn't last long though. Forty-eight hours later District Attorney Houser pulled a surprise raid, cutting off all wa ter transportation and stranding hundreds of gamblers aboard ship. But the folks didn't mind being out all night .. They were used to cold decks.
 One guy became desperate and jumped overheard. When the life guard pulled him out he gave him artificial respiration and a loan at six per cent. Those water taxis were really cleaning up until the police impounded them They were bringing the folks to shore by way of Bikini.

in which girls are victims, the girl involved did one of two foolish things.
 She wandered into a lonely city, park with her date, or parked with him along a country road putting herself at the mercy of any hood lum that happened along.
 Or she picked up date or accepted ride with a stranger who turned out to be criminal.
 Police can't protect girls who take such chances. Their only pro- lection is in realizing the danger in such situations-and only par entS esn make teen-age daughters see that danger.
 It would help, too, if parents would be realistic enough to say to a daughter: Bring your date home and the living room is yours. We won't walk in on you or invade your privacy. Any necking you want to do, do at home, rather than on some lonely road And don't go out in a car with any young man you don't know we'll"

Who's A Hypoerite?

United States Senator's do so much talk
ing that no reasonable person would expect
them always to be logical. But the other
day Senator Tydings of Maryland went clear
out of bounds. In discussing the bill to
create permanent Fair Employment Prac-
tees Commission, Senator Tydings accused
its sponsors of sheer hypocrisy" He said
that Ii they advocated prohibition of dis
elimination in employment on grounds of
race or religion they should also advocate
prohibition of the denial of job to any
man because of his membership or nom
membership in labor union.
Granting that ill-considered utterance is
an occupational disease of Senators, this
sort of nonsense is really going too far. 1t
is impossible to believe that Senator Tydings
is not aware of the fundamental difference
between mans race or religion and his
membership or non-membership in an or
ganization. The one is basic personal fact
with which it is improper for economic or
political authority to concern itself; the
other is an aspect of a mans relations to his
fellow citizens, and not only may be but
must be concern of society
Senator Tydings even proceeded to ac-
cuSe the bills sponsors of lack of moral
courage. With this sort of thing this ex-
IRENE of inanity, appearing so frequently
in the Congressional Record, is it any
wonder that many citizens are inclined to
doubt whether some of our Senators de-
serve the eminence the ballot box has given
them?
