Should South win the spade opening in dummy and then take the heart finesse? If the heart finesse fails he is almost sure to go down, as there is no further entry to dummy.
 Harry Fishbein thought that de- clarer should win the first trick with the ace of spades and then play out the ace and king of hearts. With this line of play South has several possibilities. The queen of hearts may be doubleton. or the queen of diamonds may be double- ton, or Re may catch the jack Of clubs three times in one hand.
 As it happened. Fishbein was right. The heart finesse would have lost, as West held a doubleton queen-seven of hearts.

Collins, busy gaining rapidly on a brilliant legal future, now further accelerated by the war, occasion ally shouted at Ben over the tele- phone but to Peg, his shouts were even more obscure than Kitty's silence. For several weeks Peg had been working up a desire to smack both of them for being So off-hano and close-mouthed.
 Her resentment cvaporated the minute Kitty came in. Laden with an indescribable confusion of lug gage, Ben kicked the door shut behind him and said expansively to his wife, well, here we are Kitty wants a bath"
 That's for me to say" objected Kitty with normal contentiousness
 But she looked so young and mulisn that Pegs easily touched heart was agitated.
 It was five o'clock tad, punctual to the dot, Bunny Graham came in and started upstairs for the first of his evening radio serials.

 "Yes," said Bunny, thank you thought I did thank you, in a letter from mother"

Peg had cautiously advised Bunny not to ask Kitty too many questions.
 "Why?"
 Because it's not polite"
 "Not about Florida? I'd like to ask her about alligators"
 "Alligators are all right. you can always ask people about places they've been. In fact. you're sup posed to. meant personal ques- tions."

 Followed by a shadowy file of scouts he had left. and his mother was afraid to take 6 chance on planting the idea any more firmly in his mind since she felt so little confidence in how 1t might sprout When the question dropped from the stairs. Peg received 1t fatalist- cally.

SINCE the time of job. and
doubtless before, mankind has
rated boils as among its most pain
full Affections. Poor job scraped
himself with a potsherd and cursed
the day he was born. The modern
man fortunately, has other and
better resources against this skin
infection. which is known to doc
tors as furunculosis.
The parts of the skin most often
attacked by boils are the back Of
the neck within the hair margin,
the sweat and fat glands in the
armpitS. the buttocks and the fore
arms. Infections which penetrate
deeply into the skin are called car
buncleS.
Location and severity
The treatment of furunCuloSiS
will depend on the location and
severity Of the infection. In the
case of small boils which develop
in the back of the neck, DR. 5. Wat
o Smith of England, suggests
that the area which IS affected be
washed twice 4 day with soap and
water. followed by the application
Of a sulphur lotion without putting
any gauze covering over the area.
As soon as the hoils soften he
advises they be opened using d
ported match stick dipped in a
mild tincture of iodine.
When many small boilS develop
in other parts of the body, Dr..
Smith advises covering them with
gentian violet morning and night
for a week. After the boils are
opened, he advises that a maguesi-
