than any cup or prize. The me chanics of duplicate are learned quickly, but there is also differ ence in bidding and playing prac- tice which must be studied.
 Sacrifice bidding plays an all- important part in duplicate bridge, a point demonstrated in today hand.
 At rubber bridge West would not bid spades. There is no chance for game, and showing so weak a suit risks having partner make a dam aging lead if the opponents play the hand. But in duplicate game West must look for a profitable sacrifice contract if one can be found. Hence the weak suit is prop erly bid. AS it happens East has good support for spades and good sacrifice does exist East would never dare bid if West passed, but he can afford to raise once West enters the bidding.
 If South played at four hearts, he would lose three diamonds but nothing else. When West plays at four spades, he loses a spade, two hearts and two clubs. The two- trick set is smaller loss than let ting South make game.

HE'S SURROUNDED
By WILLIAM BRADY, NJ. D.

In his book "Vitamins and Other Dietary Essentials" London, '33, w.. R. Aykroyd, MD. says:
 '.The writer has sometimes giv- en Newfoundland fishermen, vic timS of 'night-blindness a single tablespoonful of cod-liver oil" (the oil is rich in vitamin A as well
 as in vitamin D with the grati- flying result that they were able to see on the subsequent night. There are, one fears. few other remedies in medicine so rapid and reliable. 5
 I Brady have never seen nor heard doctor say he has seen any such striking or immediate effect from vitamin treatment. although I have more faith in the value of vitamin B complex as heart tonic than I have in digitalis
 After all when you have fair understanding of the part this or that vitamin plays in the econ- moy, metabolism, nutrition, func- tional efficiency, growth. immun- | lly dllQ ol llCdllll VI vite, you do not expect any such dramatic effect from dose" or a few days use of any vitarnin. It is my belief that a great deal of the disappointment experienced in the use of vitamins to prevent or correct deficiency conditions is due to (a) insufficient quantities and tb) too short period of admin istration.
 That half-informed, mislnform- ed or Wiseacre laymen acquire the notion that shot" of this or that synthetic vitamin gives immediate pep" or uplift or strength or relief of any kind is perhaps natural, in view of the unrestricted exploitation of popular creduity by charlatans. But it is not so easy to understand how physicians can adopt any such irrational principle into practice
 In a report of study of nutri- tional deficiency in diabetes (Exp Med. and Surg, Nov. '45), Biskind and Schreier have shown beyond reasonable doubt that vitamin B has most important place in the treatment of diabetes. These scien- tific investigators concluded that the variable and inconclusive results obtained in vitamin B complex (a) in insufficient quantities and (b) over too short a period.
 If you are one of the thirty mil lion persons in the country who are carriers of the potentiality ol tendency to develop diabetes or tc pass the tendency to develop dia- betes or to pass the tendency or to offspring, (Joslin estimates 2 percent of entire population are car riers) it will do you no harm al all, at all, to read the booklet Training for Diabetes copy send ten cents and stamped sell addressed envelope-but no clipping will suffice.
 When taking any vitamin at al for any purpose don't dabble witt it. Take enough every day and keer on taking it long enough to set whether it will do any good ThaI means, I should say, never les! than a month. and generally a least three months. Short of tha you haven't given it fair trial.

JIMMIE FIDLER h Houy1uood

Hollywood, Aug. 30-There's food for thought in the box office rec ords established by films released to date in 1946
 At the head of the list, credited with doing 234 percent of normal business for a picture in its class, is the Bing Crosby-Bob Hope-Dorothy Lamour starrer, Road To Utopia" !" A majority of the critics agreed that it was good entertainment, though somewhat inferior to couple of the Road" comedies which pre- ceeded it.
 In second place, with a box-of- flee percentage of 231, is 'The Out law Judged from every critical standpoint, it is one of the worst examples of Glass A" picture-mak- ing in screen history. Ridiculous plot, hammy acting and poor dl- rection combine to make it the in- ferior, as far as quality goes, of most Glass B" program westerns.
 What price screen quaAty?- and put yourselves, please, in the shoes of the average, proflt-greedy producer when you answer that question. Why put forth the extra effort that topnotch craftmanship demands when the movie-going pub lie is so undiscerning that it show CTS it's dollars on Adventure" and "The Outlaw?'
 We. the public, will always get pictures exactly as good as we de- mand. We have only ourselves to blame if they continue to be bad.

 was really thrilled when l found out the studio had finally released my picture. It wasn't ex- actly released, it was sort of par oled: if it's bad they throw it back in the can.
 Being the star of the picture and not wanting to be nlobbed by autograph seekers, went incog- nito. No one recognized me; paid for my ticket. In this pictuGe l play the part of barber and my acting was so convincing that someone must have left tip for me at the box office. Being bar Der is hindrance to my love making, though every time l run my fingers through Joan Caul- fields hair she asks for sham poo.
 The most exciting part of the picture is when I go to Spain im- personating royalty to marry the princess. I'm found out before the wedding, though, and never do get to pull the wool over her eyes.
 The audience received the usual cards on which to write their opinion of the picture and after reading them I'm happy to say the audience reaction was splen- did.
