. " L
The formation Of a Social Hy-
giene Committee has been recon-
mended to the Public Health Lay
Council of Montgomery County by
County Health Officer, DIR. V. L.
Ellicott. Pointing out that there is
need for more widespread educa-

health and personal hygiene, Dr..
Ellicott said that reported cases
OF gonorrhea and syphilis for 1916
totalled 263 and 253, respectively.
/ The number of these cases was
second highest of those reported in
the County for 1916, in spite of the
Health Departments aggressive
clinic program for the diagnosis
and treatment of new cases.
measles topped the list, with a
total of 588 cases; the peak of
this outbreak was in May, with
1873 cases reported.) In making
his recommendation to the Coun-
Gil, DR.. Ellicott advised affiliation
of the new committee with the
District Of Columbia Social Hy-
giene Society, adding that Social
Hygiene Day, February 5, would
be an excellent date on which to
hold the first public meeting Of
this group.
The other reported cases of
communicable diseases in Mont
gomery County during 1916, to-
tailed:
Scarlet fever 181, chickenpox
164, pneumonia 1O5, tuberculosis
II, influenza 81, whooping cough

THE EGG AND YOU
If you can answer these questions
correctly you're an "eggspert"!
@. Are white eggs or brown eggs
better?
A. Shell color has no bearing on
quality. The breed of chicken
determines the color.
@. Should eggs be washed before
you store them?
A. No. Water destroys the film
that keeps out air and odors.
@. Why are APP EGGS always
so good?
A. Because they're selected and

The fight against cancer in chill
dren is close to the heart OF many
bridge players throughout the ma.
ton. They constantly ask how the
Children's Cancer Fund is com
ing along. Ambrose Casner Of New
York, who is Life Master No. 81,
is one who never fails to ask thai
question when We meet.
Casner gave me today's hand
but he did not at first give me the
East and West cards. so l am 60
ing to ask you to cover up those
two hands, in order to set the
point Of the play.
Declarer wins the opening he/rt
lead in dummy and leads two
rounds of trumps. Now what is
his correct line O. play? Should
he take the diamond finesse and
hope to drop the ten Of diamonds
or the third round, which would
enable him to discard his two
spades?
Casner says that is the wrong
percentage" play, and we will
now uncover the East and West
hands to see Why.
If declarer takes the diamond
finesse and it loses to Vests king,
West has a perfectly safe exit card.
He can come right back with
a diamond which declarer will
have to win with the ace.
South's correct line Of play. at
ter drawing the opponents trumps,
is to ruff a heart in dummy, lead
a small diamond and &c right
up with the ace, then lead the
jack of diamonds.
If West wins, declarer has to
hope that West also has the king
Of spades. But at this point there
is no return West can make that
will hurt South. If a diamond is
led, it costs nothing to put on the
nine-spot. If a spade is returned.
South can let it ride around to
his queen, while a heart return
gives South a stuff and a ruff.

qsite so tempting.
Besides, he probably couldn't
bring himself to go off and leave
his own garden just as the toma-
toes, Or something, were coming
on.
And, of course, his wife would
have to think about the canning.
So there's a place in the world
for the non-garnner, too. What
wouls his gardening frienis do
without him?
