It isn't always that ''runnersup' fare so happily did the "Leopards. They not crowned champions of their division in The Democrats sandot baseball tournament, but they travelled the route of champs and saw the Yankees and Detroit Tigers in action at the Stadium. They beheld little old New York spreading out for miles beneath the observation tower in the Elm pire Building and they ate and drank often at various stages of the journey Not thunder storm robbed them of one of their many happy memories But be- hind the treatment accorded the Leopards there is

The article in question by Leon Racht quotes Father nedy saying When examine reviews of novels which l myself read and know to be thoroughly indecent astonshed to discover that often they do much aude to the vieness and depravty with which these books abound.

McKENNEY
 ON BRIDGE
BY WILLIAM E. MCKINNEY America's Card Authority

At a recent committee meeting, during which we inevitably discuss hand or two, David Warner, pres ident of the Philadelphia Whist Association, said, You are always discussing intricate plays, but some times just a simple play will give you good score on a board" And he showed us today's hand, which he played in a Philadelphia dupli- cate game.
 As soon as the dummy went down, Warner saw that he was off two clubs and two spades. How could he pick up an extra trick?
 East played the six of spades on the first trick, and without a mo- ment's hesitation Warner put on the seven.
 Naturally when West saw his partners six and South's seven. he reasoned that the six was come on card; so instead of shifting to club, as he would have done if South had played the deuce, he continued with spade. This estab- lished Warmers queen of spades, on which he could discard one of dum- my's losing clubs.
 Outsmarting the opponents by the effective use of a false-card can prove profitable.
 With the deuce of clubs missing, it would have been retty difficult for West to realize that South was employing a false-card play. If he

Some years ago when I began recommending that persons with diabetes should be sure to get an optimal daily ration of vitamin B complex, some good doctors knew nothing about it, some good doctors didn't believe vitamin B would or could keep the patient sugar-free With less lnsulin and one noted au- thority on diabetes told me in pri- vate communication that he had not been able to satisfy himself, up to that time. that vitamin B could lower the patients insulin require ment
 But, dear me, these were just pikers. It remained for the Big Noise, the Voice of Science, the Great Pooh-Bah of the A M. A who never has practiced enough to speak of anyWay-to tell the medi- cal world, in an editorial outburst entitled The Misrepresentations of William Brady" that there was no scientific evidence to warrant this statement" (that is, the statement that vitamin B improves carbo- hydrate metabolism and so enables the diabetes patient to keep sugar. free with less insulin).
 From experience I have learned that, having worked my way out on a limb, the best policy is just to keep quiet and hold tight for a while When the snarling is all over maybe the big shots will catch up
 From a medical review published in May. 1946, I quote:
 "Biskind and Schreier recently have shown beyond any
 reasonable doubt that vitamin B
 has a most important place in
 the theraphy of diabetes (Exp.
 Med and Surg. 3:299, Nov, '45)
 .. and they concluded that
 the variable and inconclusive
 results that had been obtained in
 vitamin B therapy were due to
 the improper administration of
 the complex, in insufficient
 quantities and over too short a
 period. They reasoned that if
 yitamin B complex were given
 properly, it should so recondi-
 tion the liver that the insulin
 intake of the diabetic could be
 materially reduced or even elim-
 mated"
