Today's hand was well played by Dr. Paul Stern of London. His partner was Col Robert J. Gill of Baltimore Md. who has since be- come Brigadier- General Gill. The Generals redcuble of the four heart bid shows that he has lost none of his old optimism.
 When the ace of clubs held the first trick the four of clubs was continued and Dr. Stern discarded his three of diamonds. He trIimped dummy's five of clubs with the deuce of hearts cashed the king and ace of diamonds then ruffed the seven of clubs with the i've of hearts.
 The ace of spades was cashed and another diamond led which East ruffed with the eight of hearts hearts and Dr. Stern over-ruffed with the ace.
 Then he played low spade which West won with the terl-spot West came back with the king of spades. pr. Stern refused to trump this in dummy and East was forced

|MurmurS Accompanying Heart Sounds Common
nv WILLIAM nRADY, MD.

A mother says the doctor told her that her two-yeagl-old grandsonS heart has . "nntter"-the boy seems healthy enough but his parents arc worried and they try to keep the active baby quiet -.
 Parents of a high school boy in his early teens are worried about his baseball playing, because a docs tor said the boy has "murmiir."
 These are typical of many ,quef- ies. It may be that the doctor real- ly said what these correspondents tell me he said. From my exper- fence in practice, however, doubt that the doctor left it ct that.
 If a doctor is reliable at all he will not fail to give his opinion as to the significance of the "dutter, !" 'murmur" or other unusual sound he hears when he listens to the heart. It may be necessary to ex- anime the patient not just once, but several times at intervals of days or weeks, to determined what If anything the murmur or fiutter sig nifles.
 It is not always easy to disting- uish between functional" and "or- ganic" murmurs, says Mackenzie's 'Diseases of the Heart" A "func- tional" murmur means a murmul produced by some other cause thar valvular or other heart diseases; and an organic" murmur is one pro- duced by valvular disease as a rule
 If it was not easy for the great Mackenzie to tell how to distinguish between these murmurs, perhaps had better not try to do 50.
 If had a heart murmur or hut ter I wouldn't worry much abou
 the mere sound of it, As long el my ciIculation seemed adequate fol
 my requirements, I'd carry on. Btu
 if some half-some doctor examined
 me, say for life insurance or fol military Serice, and informed had a fiutter or niurmur and le it go at that I'd probably kick hin in the chin, if he seemed yer! feeble and weak. On the othe
 hand, if he said: T believe hea , a utter or murmllr here-you hat better obtain your phySician's ad vice about it"-Id feel grateful. It . is fairly common to hear murmur accompanying the frs , heart sound (constraction or systole ! in young persons who have nothin
 more than anemia.
 s Mackenzie watched numbers c
 healthy young people who ha heart murmur grow up into man
 hood and womanhood and lea & healthy and vigorous lives, an , never show the slightest sign ( , heart failure"
 So you have c murmer? Well, $ you can run up Q couple flights ( - stairs, or run at moderate speed n half mile or even run around tn
 block without getting more winde e than a healthy individual woul' P who cares?
 It's the efficiency of your heal . and circulation, not the sounds n makes, that is important.

"Dragonwyck'' is now playing at the LoeW-Poli Theater starring Gene Tierney Vincent Price Walter Huston and Glenn Langan.
 Miss Tierney is riding high. Her performance in Leave Her to Heaven" created frenzy of unpre- cedented hosannas the country over. Fresh on the heels of that triumph she has now come through with what preview critics are hall ing as one of the greatest portray Als ever to reach the screen that of Miranda in "Dragonwyck."
 Price portrays the egocentric Dutch patroon who stops at noth- ing even poison to gam his ends.
 During the course of his A years in show business Huston has prob- ably turned in many more unfor- gettable stage and screen perform ances than any other actor extAnt. Currently he is being acclaimed for his all-surpassing portrayal as Miss Tierney's stern and stubborn, Bible-quoting father in Dragon wyck.'
 The choice of L,angan to play the important part of Dr. Jefi Turner marks the recognition of what critics consider to be one ot Hoilywood's most promising screen personalities. The picture also boasts an outstanding supporting cast headed by Anne Revere, Spring Byington, Connie Marshall and Henry Morgan.
 Johnny Comes Flying Home" is the second attraction starring an outstanding cast headed by Rich- ard Crane, Faye Marlowe and Martha Stewart.

MOTHER's DAY

Of ell the holidays in the year Mothers Day is my favorite. I guess it's because of the kids in our family. I was Mothers pet for years-then she finally saved up enough to buy c cocker spaniel.
 But when 1t comes to endur- ing love devotion and sacrifice Q mother is really swell. Tn fact I think every fellow should have one. Since I have been in tho film capital the dear lady has become quite 6 celebrity. The way oper- ate around Hollywood and Vine she is now known as Ministers Mother"
 Of course mothers are differ ent today from what they used to be. They're more modern. Now it's silver threads among the henna.
 But Mothers Day is differen out herein fact in Hollywood they celebrate Mothers Day and Fathers Day together. They have to since they invented slacks; you can't tell them apart.
 But really feel sorry for the movie actresses poor mothers after ell it's not easy balancing . baby oti one knee and Q lead ing man on the other.

 One of the most amazing wartime developments in Hollywood has been the phenomenal increase in story prices. Today it's routine for writ- CT to harvest $100,O0O from the screen rights of his novel or play. Prices of 42SO,O00 or more excite comment only when they are padded with fat percentage deals that ai- low the writer to share heavily in the profits of the picture. And the trend is still upward, for Hollywood'i d'i scribes, having tasted blood, are in- creasing their demands. While I'm delighted to see them prosper (I've always held that their contribu'
 tions to the picture industry are more valuable than those of the stars), I'm beginning to wonder il they aren't kiting their prices toc high. It's significant that all ti1G

STRAND

There is music, merriment, fun, laughter and romance in Jimmy Steps Out" which stars James Stewart and Paulette Goddard now at the Strand Theatre. The picture was directed by George Marshall and it's story hinges on the whims of an eccentric millionaire who sells vitamized foods, his impecunious nephew and an equally impecunious dance band which practices it's tunes atop a boarding house roof.
 Charles portrays the uncle, Jimmy is the nephew, Paulette Is the boarding house lass, Horace Heidt and his band of radio luminaries provide the gay and ight-hearteo tunes.
 Providing Stewart with his make believe home was simple. Jimmy Is the impractical proprietor of a small-town music shop who lives in the rear room of his store, g barely furnished room with cot a gas-plate and sink hunk or brackets. To give Miss Goddard g home it was necessary to build ar entire tenement street, three block! long. As the daughter of board ing house keeper, Paulette get! mixed up with the chief tenants the impoverished members o' Heidts band.
 Charles Winninger's home wa! luxuriously furnished by the studi' with library, drawing room, tw' bedrooms, furnace room, cart room and pantry. A spaciou colonial structure was photograph ed to represent the exteriour and t' match the elaborate interiors.

1t Christening; Party FoNo1Vs
By Betty MHiken

The most important person at a
certain party yesterday, and by far
the most popular, was a little girl
with brown curly hair and brown
eyes, bright as buttons, who made
her debut into society. She wore a
formal" gown of finest white lawn
with French lace insertions, over a
long white petticoat, and her mother
held her proudly as she presented
her to the guests.
The young lady answering this
description is Katharine Victoria
Diaz Bolton, name for each month
of her life it would seem, as the
daughter of 1t and Sonora Federico
D1az Camera was born exactly four
months before her christening yes
terday. Officiating at the christen-
ing ceremony was the same clergy
man who read the marriage vows at
the wedding of her parents, the
Apostolic Delegate to the United
States, the Most Rev. A. Giovanni
Cicognani.
The infant was held by her grand
mother, Sonora Federico Diaz Gam
ero Dulanto, who was appointed
godmother and for whom she is
named, with Admiral Diaz, head of
the Peruvian Naval Commission,
acting as godfather. Witnesses in
cluded the child's maternal grand
mother, Mrs. Katharine Bolton,
whose name she also bears, and her
three aunts, Mrs. Donald L. White
house, who came from Chicago for
the occasion, and the Senoritas
Rosario and Maruja Diaz Camera
The reception following the chris
tening was given at 27 Primrose
street in Chevy Chase. the large,
comfortable dwelling occupied by
Admiral and Sonora de Diaz and
their daughters, as we'll as their
son and daughter -in-law and grand
child.

she drank a toast" to the guests
