 She is wearing sensible shoes for two reasons - because she can't waste ration points on friv- olous ones and because she is doing more walking and standing in line than she has done in years.

 ON BRIDGE
BY WILLIAM E. MCKINNEY
Americas Card Authority

Now that we are planning to revive the Southern Appalachian Tournament at Asheville, N. C., Aug. 23, "A ard 25, I am looking forward to seeing Dick Kaplan and his father, both fine students of bridge.
 Dick sent me a few interesting hands, one of which is shown to- day. AS the trump coup is the most thrilling play in bridge to make, I suggest that you study the prin- cilple involved in it.
 East's bid of four diamonds was cue bid and five diamonds was a Blackwood response to the four no trump bid Though West had only the singleton king of hearts, he felt justified with East's aggres- sive bidding to go to slam.
 This hand was played by Hersh Coplon of Norfolk, Va, sitting East. He could see when the dummy went down that it was cold unless one of the opponents held four or five hearts to the jack. With such a holding in the South hand, nothir@ oould be done about

Meat Fiber
 WII GOUeru Iender1eSS
BY GAYNOR MADDOX NEA Staff Writer

You may be having a tough time finding a steak, but when at last you get it, let's hope it's tender.
 To aid the housewife in choosing cuts when choice is available, the Bureau of Animal Industry has con- ducted studies of the relative ten derneSS of different cuts of beef. The studies showed that tender loin lives up to it's name, being the tenderest cut. Next is the rib, fol- lowed by short loin, loin end, and two chuck cuts, in that order. The chuck cuts, varied in tenderness, but the difference was not consist ent enough to permit rankings. Next in order were the round, neck, and foreshank.
 Steers are more tender animals than COWS, judging from the study of carcass samples Tenderness, in case you want to know, is associated with the diameter of muscle fiber. The smaller the fiber, the more tender the meat.
 While You Sizzle, Foods Freeze Experiments on frozen foods are under way in number of state colleges and universities. The Uni versity of California is working on the freezing of fruit juices, the University of Wyoming on freezing eggs to preserve the fresh-egg value, Texas A. and M. on the freezing of completely-balanced meals in pack age form, and Louisiana States on processes to improve the flavor of frozen shrimp and other sea foods.
 The increased interest in frozen foods is interpreted as part of the rapidly-developing science of nutri- tion. to which the Department of Agriculture has contributed much.
 Even oysters are getting the cold treatment. A five-man jury of taste-testers from the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service tested frozen oysters recently and gave a verdict of approval. They report that froz- en oysters are as tasty and nutri- tious as is the fresh product. So oysters, heretofore usually eaten only in months with an 'r'' in them now take no year-round appeal.
 Punch Bowl Can Take It
 New table accessories of acrylic resin are practical as well as deco rative, the food-and drink servers lightweight and virtually unbreak- able. The transparency of the plas- tic lends an appropriate sparkling note.
 So don't worry if the party gets rough-the punch bowl is almost un- breakable It comes with matching cups and a long-handled ladle which hooks over the edge. Gracefully rounded, and with three discs forming the base, the bowl has a simplicity of line that will harmonize with any setting. It is available in 12-and 14-inch sizes The round cups, without handles are well designed 10 permit firm grasp.

 Sleep
 Is five hours sleep sufficient to maintain good health? (E. M)
 AnsWer-Depends on age, season, physical activity Infants need 20 hours, young children 15 hours, children in their early teens ten hours, youths nine hours, mature adults eight hours, elderly folk six or seven hours. People who play, exercise or work hard require more sleep than those who get little ex- erclse, never play and do only white collar work. Children require more sleep in winter than in summer, physical activity being the same. Copyright 1946 by John F. Dille Co)

By WILLIAM BRADY, M. D.

It Is matter Of simple good faith and honesty that a physician prae- tices under his or her own name. I can find no specific statement of this principle in the Code of Medical Ethics, but probably the framers of the Code did not believe it necessary to state such principle.
 In recent years however, the clinic" evil has grown so fast that it threatens to change the practice Of medicine into something very different from personal service. The group plan under which several phy- siclans in different fields of practice associate themselves more or less closely together. as by sharing common Waiting-room and the gen. eral expenses incident to practice and perhaps in a limited partner ship, but each retaining his or her individuality, is unobjectionable. so far as l know But the moment such a group decides to avail itself of the lure of the name clinic it Is quacking it. I contend I am in a position to know that there are good many credulous souls who hetake themselves to a clinic" for advice or treatment just because the clinic" is so well advertised and not because they know or wish to consult any particular physician who may be connected with or en- ployed by the clinic.
 Further it is my belief that Sec. 2 of Chap. I of the Principles Gas the present regime calls itl of Medi- cal Ethics of the American Medical Association, in reference to clinics tS vague and weak because the au- thorS hesitated to question the eth ical propriety of the big shots who have gained fame and fortune by playing the clinic racket for all it is worth This section does say that the ethical principles actu- ating and governing a group or clinic are exactly the same as those applicable to the Individuality with wink to the big shots in the clinic racket, to aWure them that this is intended merely to keep the loWly rank and file in line.

 He refused to play dummy's ace of diamonds on the opening lead but trumpeG it in his own hand, as his problem was to reduce his own trump holding He led a heart to the king and played the king of spades, South winning. A spade was returned and won in dummy and another dia- mond ruffed.
 The ace of hearts was cashed, and now Ccplon took the club f1nesse, as South was marked with the club king by his opening bid. The ace of diamonds was led and as North could not afford to ruff, declarer threw away his good ten of spades
 A small diamond was ruffed and a club returned to dummys ace This established the coup on North, who had to trump whatever was led from dummy and Coplon could overtrump and win the last trump trick.

 The Connecticut Federation of Labor and the Hartford Central La- bor union previously voted to sup- port the post office clerks in their controversy with Mir Dillon.

Hogan Urges Settlement 
 Letter tO Stockholders
 FavOFs immediate
 Wage Increase

The management of the Hendey Machine O., of Torrington, where a strike has been in progress since Dec. !, was urged by a stockholder today to grant an immediate wage increase of iS l-2 cents.
 The wage boost was recommended in a letter to fellow stockholders by Francis W. Hogan, deputy commits sioner of motor vehicles, who de- clared it is time that the officers of this company gave consideration to the human values involved as well as to the dividends paid"
 Mir. Hogan's letter was to be read at a stockholders meeting today.
 The company last week made e wage increase offer, said to be one of about l2 l-2 cents an hour. Union action on the proposal is due in a few days.
 The text of Mir. Hogan's letter fol- lows:
 T am unable to attend the stock holders meeting to be held on Feb. 25. Therefore. as a minority stock holder, wish to express a few thoughts which I would have ex pressed orally had I been able to att tend the meeting.
 These thoughts are with refer ence to the situation now existing at the Hendey Machine Go. factory. I think 1t is time that the officers of this company gave consideration to the human value involved as well as the dividends paid.
 T am interested in the welfare of the employe of this factory as well as that of the stockholders and man agement.
 T am interested in the welfare of Torrington.
 T believe the management should put into effect immediately the wage standard recommended by Pres ident Truman's fact-finding board in the steel case, namely, an in- crease of l8 and l-2 cents an hour.
 Enlightened management should be able to settle this problem.
 This strike cannot go on inde- finitely to the impoverishment of the employe and to the detriment of the City of Torrington and the stock holders of this company.

 In regard to the American policy toward Russia, the speaker com mented, We are friendly toward Russia. We will support Russia on many issues. But even for the sake oeaRusSia we will not abandon the principles in defense of which much American blood was spilled in two World wars. That is the policy of Our Government in Washington"
