MCKINNEY
 ON BRIDGE
By WILLIAM E. MCKINNEY Americas Card Authority

Tournament brdige eliminates luck in the cards because all pairs play the same hands. There is naturally an element of luck in the way the cards are played, al- though a judge once ruled that the element of luck in duplicate was in the position you sat at the table; and that the play of the cards did not involve luck, as that was either good or bad play.
 However, Jay T. Feigus of Brook lyn, N. Y., thought that he was ex- ceptionally lucky on today's hand. At most tables South and West had passed, North bid one heart, East two diamonds, and South then bid two spades. With South the de- clarer at four spades, and the five of diamonds opening, declarer had to lose two diamonds, two clubs and a heart down to two tricks. A slip in defense might set the con- tract only one.
 Feigus said he intended to bid one heart, but by mistake said a spade, which the next hand promptly doubled. When his part ner bid four spades, Feigus real ized his mistake but decided against taking a stab in the dark with five hearts or four no trump.
 He won the opening lead with the ace of hearts took three rounds of trumps and led the jack of hearts, East winning.
 East could have cashed the ace of clubs at this point, but he

Gaynor Maddox's I946 HOME CANNING GUIDE
 More Ways to Put Ub Ton1atoes
BY GAYNOR MADDOX NEA Food and Markets Editor

Many canning experts say that a small amount of sweetening add ed to canned tomatoes gives them a particularly excellent flavor. It does not, however, give them any sweet flavor.
 Here is recipe for this method:
 Prepare Fruit: Use firm, ripe, medium-size tomatoes. Wash, place a few at time in a wire basket or cheesecloth square, and dip in boiling water for one minute or until skins slip easily Plunge in cold water for 1-2 minute. Remove core and green parts. Peel.
 Pack Jars: Quarter and pack in- to hot jars. Press down to make enough juice to fill spaces and cover fruit. Fill to within 1-2 inch of top. Add teaspoon salt and l tablespoon light corn syrup to each quart. (Tomatoes may be packed whole and jar filled to within 1-2 inch of the top with hot tomato juice prepared from other to- matoes) Wipe edge of jar with cheesecloth dampened in boiling water. Seal immediately, according

faithfulness condones unfaithfulness itself.
 That is foggy-minded reason- ing. Nobody can now help what happened to marriages during the war years. It is fact that many of them were scared by unfaith- fulness on the part of husband Or wife. But divorce won't change the fact - or guarantee a happy solution to the problem.
 Alil that divorce will do in many cases is bolster, momentarily, the pride of the wronged husband or wife
 If the marriage Gan be saved by forgiver1ess, then what is so wrong about that? Surely a marriage is more important than pride = es- pecially so when children are in- volved.
 The judge was simply being a realist. The wartime unfaithful- ness is done and past. But there is still the marriage.
 The judge was simply asking the husband and wife to put their marriage ahead of their own in- jury and to try to hold it together. SALVAGE WHAT YOU CAN
 That, certainly, is no condoning of unfaithfulneSs. It is saving that a patched-up marriage is often better than a broken mar riage.
 And those are the only two choices left to the. couple who dis cover that their marriage has been damaged by unfaithfulness. They can either patch it up - or break it up.
 And of the two choices, surely patching up the marriage is the more honorable solution, and the better one for society as a whole.
