MAGAZINE PAGE. Conquering Contract BY P. HAL SIMS Mr, Sims is universally acclaimed the greatest living contract and auction player. He was captain of the remowned ‘“Four Horsemen” team and has won 24 national championships since 1924. The Double Jump Raise in Opener’s Suit. | F your partner opens the bidding | with cne spade, on what kind of & hand should your response be four spades” In the early days of contract this response was used extensively, and it meant—"Iam al- most sure we will make four spades on this hand. Since I have contracted for game, do not bid further unless you have a tremen- dous hand with proper slam pro- tection.” As you have realized by now, my bidding theory absolutely ~ rejects the principle un- derlying the pro- cedure just men- veying Specific Information. With me the double jump raise is a | g direct slam try, and says: “The hand is absolutely safe in five spades. If you can bid another suit I have slam hopes hand, not of his suit. I will not make this res%unu unless I have four trumps headed by a clear primary trick and by at least two face cards. With five of them I would need them to be headed by the ace or the king; four must be headed by K Q or A J. It is really another way of saying “I open the bidding with one spade: so our spades are solid—regard your spades | as trump support for me and bid your outside values.” ‘This bid is very rare, but fulfills a definite function—enabling the opener to rebid his hand accurately when he has opened on a suit as weak as five to the queen. I have described the trump holdings which justify this response. The other requirements of the hand are slam ex- pectations either through primary tricks or through very attractive distribution. A hand good enough for an opening bid in any position will give you the measure. With a void suit you can shade this because you will discover any duplication in time. ‘If your partner’s rebid names the vold suit, sign off by reverting to spades. If his next bid names a second suit in which you have ace or king, and you can win at least the second round of the other suit, the slam is a certainty.

The tree is known as the Carolina poplar and has the poplar habit of twinkling leaves. A cottonwood has faults, but it has many more virtues. Few trees would be as cheerful in the hot, dusty city as this country-loving tree. Its preferred home is along streams or moist places, yet it will grow into a handsome tree in the soot-laden air of a large city and send its root deep to get the needed moisture. Early in the Spring, the varnished buds glisten in the thin sunlight. They are red and shining, furnishing resin for the wee bees who seal up their homes with it. There are father and mother trees. The father trees look fuzzy, with the flowers so covered with pollen, and the mother trees have greenish flowers, strung on a loose thread like pearls. When the pollen has been blown away from the great fat staminate catkins, they tumble to the ground and look like huge red caterpillars sprawling about. The seeds are in pointed pods, which open into two or more valves and let the seed children out. They sail away on fluffy wings, and this fuzz COX ATHEY. COTTONWOOD. Populus Deltoidea.

If you have a clear primary trick in excess of what you needed for an un. shaded opening bid, tell me so by bi ding four no trumps, for in that case we are safe in five spades and I will bid at least that, possibly six or seven spades. With nothing in reserve, pass.” I will not make this particular re- sponse unless my spades are so strong that I feel sure no spade trick will be lost, however weak my partner’s suit may be. In other words, he is assured that he need not give me a minimum response because of his weak spades— I know about them. He must now re- spond regarding the strength of his | .

The same methods apply to hearts, naturally. In a minor suit this bid is a force for game and also a slam try with an additional round | of bidding to plav with. The message to the coening bidder is exactlv the same as if a major suit were involved. | (Copyrizht. 192:1.)

EAL is a meat toward which our attitude has changed almost entirely in the last few years. It used to be considered rather indigestible and was never to be found on the children's diet list. Today we find that it has just as large a place as any other meat usually lim- ited to a rather small part of the diet in the years of childhood. Of course, veal must be properly cooked for both old and young, this means veal should be thoroughly cooked. One reason for the change in our attitude toward veal is the fact that Government regulations guard us almeat entirely from uncurative veal which is not in the best condi- tion for cooking. It hardly seems possible that veal and beef could come from the same animal al yarious ages. They scem so com- pletely different ¥rom each other in flavor, color and texture. Veal has such a delicate flavor that it is often used to “stretch”.chigken for salad or for creamed dishes, 2% color and te» Edith M. Barber. |dip the cutlets in egg and crumbs, to brown them in hot fat and then to add water or stock or gravy, and let the cutlets cook covered, either in the oven |or on top of the stove for an hour or more. | “Veal birds,” which are so delicious, |are ma_dc by cutting the veal into strips, | spreading it with stuffing and rolling |and skewering. Sear until it is browned on all sides and then cook in water or gravy for an hcur or more. Of course, veal loaf is a staple in most households. It never seems iust | right to me unless several hard-cooked | eggs are inserted in the loaf before it |is baked, so that they add their color and flavor to the loaf when it is sliced, | hot or cold. Cold, it is particularly |good for lunch or for Sunday night supper. (Copyright, 1933.) How It Started BY JEAN NEWTON.

Of |course it is annoying to tidy house- | keepers. | All through the Summer, the danc- | ing leaves provide shelter for the birds, | animals and man. Every day a yellow leaf flutters to the ground, and as the | Autumn comes on, the leaves begin to | turn yellow and many more of them are i falling. Soon a bright yellow carpet is seen under the tree, and the last green |leaves at the top of the tree turn yel- low and follow the others On sun-scorched prairies, you will often see a group of these trees. The grove was most likely planted by a good, strong breeze and this is how the cottonwood is distributed over a wide range. It is well known from | the Middle States to the Rocky Moun- | tains and from Manitoba to Texas. The wood is soft, fine-grained and | finish. ~ Though it is not durable. it | has been used for the making of fur- | niture, crates and boxes. Its greatest value to man, besides being a friendly tree, is that it furnishes woodpulp. | Newspapers and books use thousands of tons of the cottonwood pulp. (Copyright, 1033.)

When used for the former decoration, black gives solidity and stability of almost a structural kind, as for in- stance when floors are painted or car- peted in the nubian tone. When used for the latter accessories, black subdues an over-brilliance of main features. The present era of bizarre color schemes followed one of such drabness that the effect was often dreary. When the dullness reached its height, the pen- dulum swung to the farthest stretch of- its orbit, and resulted in a blaze of bright hues. Because the riot of col- or was bewildering and confusing, some- thing stabilizing was found essential. No color is so effective for this as black. It absorbs color, but it must be intro- duced with discretion and artistry. Black has its peculiar characteristics, and these should be remembered. It emphasizes spots and dust. For ex- ample, a floor painted black is a good background for brilliant-toned rugs or those.of light tone, particularly when touches of black are found in the rugs. But black quickly shows dirt and “pus- sies.” as little rolls of dust are called. The floor must be gone over frequently with a dry mop. Black carpets have not found much favor because they show up dust so distinctly. In rare in:bnces decorators have used black for, but such treatnient has LACK has come into prominence in decoration, both in main fea- |not proven a happy one. Black in | masses should be avoided both for its sts{tunx gloom, or its dust-provoking trait. Black as a secondary color is pleas- ing. Touches of it in bright tiled or painted paneling are apt to be intro- duced. They lend distinction. In car- pets and rugs, threads or elements of design in black accent beauty of color harmonies. In bizarre wall papers, black is essential to quell color, and in less pronounced Wall paper, notes of black give a French accent that pleasing. Black is found in all sorts of acces- | sories 2nd household appointments, to- | day, to offset the profusion of gay col- ors in decorative schemes. Crystal table | glassware is rimmed with black, or has |a black design engraved on it. Stem- ware of colored, clear, or white, glass has a black base.

Girls oftener stand in need of such exercises than the boys do, and these are o simple and easy and their results 50 sure and so good that they can always help themselves. When a child begins stcoping badly it is wise to have his eyes tested. Poor visfon will make a child bend over in the effert to see better. Indigestion has the same effect. The child who is uncomfortable after eating bends for- ward to eate the disccmfort. General weakness caused by mamutrition will make a child bow his head and bend forward. It is too much of an effort for him to hold himself up. A child cught not to have to make such an effort. His muscles ought to do the holding without any strain. They do if he is in good health, with rare exceptions. That is why round shoul- ders are a signal for a visit to the expert on bones. He will know why the child is taking such a posture and he can guide you In correcting it. Everyday Psychology BY DR. JESSE W. SPROWLS. Animal Psychology. Letter: “Please tell me why modern psychologists spend so much time studying animals. For example, what can they find in a jelly fish that will throw light upon the mind otJ m‘;n;z" These psychologists are not looking for & human mind when they study an animal. They are merely trying to dis- cover and identify the machinery of the universal mind. They rightly hold that the mind as we know it in man must be made up of.literally thousands | of parts which cannot be discovered in the behavior of human beings as human eings. It is impossible to take s hu- man mind and tear it to pieces as you would a wornout watch. So they do | the only thing they can do. They study the mind in the making. This means that they study all sorts of things that live. Perhaps one mech- anism of the mind is to be found in the jelly fish, another in the ant, an- other in the bee, another in the dog, another in the fish, another in the ape. Other mechanisms may be found ~ fants. PFinally, a good many ms < isms are to be found in the insane, for you find the normal mechanisms magni- fied and isolated so you can get a good look at them.

I have been private secretary to several big business men, and my experience is that if the employer will only leave his sec- retary alone agd not annoy her with his attentions, there will be no trouble for emgr the wife, the husband or the secretary. By saying “no” and emphatically “no” more than once after the day's work is done I have made my employer catch an earlier train than he ctherwise would have done. Perhaps he wouldn't go home for din- ner at all if I had said “yes” to the suggestion that we have a little bite together. NOW. if I were advising wives about an antedote to use against their husbancs' secretaries’ poison, I should hand them this: Let the wife do her job and run her home as capably and efficiently as the secretary does her work and maybe Friend Husband will not mind going home Let the wife ke!’g the day's petty bickering with grocer, butcher, maid and children to herself and not continually whine about the “hard life she leads” to her husband, just as the secretary keeps the day's petty squabbles amomg employes, with the boring visitors and tele- phone callers away from her boss, and maybe he will be as happy in his home as he is in his office. One of the chief duties of a secretary is to softpad life as far as she can for her employer. Maybe that is the chief duty of wives, too. Only they seldom know it. ‘The secretary manages to live within her weekly salary. She doesn't carry her financial troubles to the boss. Nor is she continually asking for a raise in her pay envelope. Let the wife live within her weekly allowance—the husband usually does the best he can on this score. Let her learn the value of money. Let her realize that her husband works hard for the money she spends. Let her make the ends meet instead of constantly complaining that she csn't do it. LE'I‘ her yes-yes her husband instead of disputing with him and quar- reling with him over everything. A secretary wouldn't last a week if she got on her ear every time she was criticized or started something every time she disagreed with the boss. Let the wife realize that she is in a far better position than her hus- band’s secretary. She can't be fired on a week's notice, and if she does lose her job, no matter if it is through her own incompetence or her bad disposition, she still can collect alimony. If the boss dies, the secretary 1:“(;\:: of a job.

And the secretaries generally live in rented rooms and ride on the street cars. Recently every one has been suffer- ing I have more than once waited for my overdue salary, but the wife got her allowance on time or Friend Husband was afraid to go home. The Dl.stmc'!kd Wife says: “Why do not these girls see the wife's side of the question?” I aek why don't the wives see the secretaries’ side? A DISTRACTED SECRETARY.

We came intending to do our work, and to enjoy some social life, but after buying our own ice cream sodas and theater tickets and taxis for a couple of vears, we are greatly disillusioned. We are chlrmix_:g and attractive. We aren't prudes. We have met boys at parties who seem to like us, but they never pursue the acquaintance. ‘What can we do about it? LES MISERABLES.

Sometimes the girl is more mature than the boys she is thrown with, and that makes them feel awkward at an age when they are striving to be thought sophisticated and blase and world-worn. So cheer up, college days will soon be over, and you will have a chance at real men. And, anyway, there is something more important to be learned at college than how to vamp the boys.

NE day I received a letter from a girl with a postscript at the end of it running like this: “Uncle Ray, if you ever make a trip to the moon p]leue let me know. I would like to g0 along.” I was pleased by the spirit of ad- venture in this requ. but on the other hand I could not tell her that I was likely to accept her ‘offer to be my com- rade on such a journey! The trip would be very dangerous; and I should not want a Corner reader to share the dan- ger. Let us see what troubles would be connected with such a journey. We could not use an airplane or a balloon. ‘They could not get away from gravity after they went a certain tance above. The only hope of reaching the moon, 50 far as any one knows now, is in a rocket. It may be that a rocket can never be shot fast enough to escape the earth’s gravity, but on the other hand it is barely possible. If a person should enter such a rocket and travel at the necessary speed, he might be killed by the shock from the movement, but inventers may find ways to reduce the shock. If the rocket traveled at the rate of 40,000 miles a day the journey would require about six days. There would be great need to tike careful aim—the earth is moving and the moon is mov- ing, and rocket folk would need to al- low for that. If they should miss the moon, there is no telling how long they would keep traveling through space be- fore they bumped into something else. If the aim should be correct, the next problem would be the landing. strike the hard of the moon at the speed of 1,600 miles per hour would not be like jumping into a stack of hay. The moon has.little or no sir and lit- tle or no water. The adventurers would need to take along a supply of water, as well as oxygen and fcod. If they made a safe landing, they might have great Jfun running snd jumping around, be- cause the moon’s gravil is not so strong | full as that of the earth: but among several problems, they would have to think of how on the moon” they could turn their rocket around and start it back to earth.

A group of very nice young women in the odd thirties and forties have a custom which is new to me. T every little party or supper of two or three tables of cards, they either tele- phone or write to their hostess to ex- press their pleasure at having been at the party, and they do it the very next :ny. To me 11 guests telephoning the 's am wrong in believing ‘thank you’ on taking leave of the party is enough until I can invite the hostess to something I have? Please tell me what you think?” Answer: I hate to disapprove of any gesture of appreciation, but I do agree that 11 telephone interruptions would be very much too much! According to etiquette, a friend says “thank you” when she leaves and nothing more. After a first invitation—particularly to a lunch or a dinner—it is necessary that the one invited pay a party call, or write a note. Among friends there is no objection to a card of apprecia- | tion, should any one care to serd it, | but it is nof convention. “Dear Mrs. Post: When a friend is having lunch with me and she is called to the telephone, is it proper for me to continue eating or sheuld I wait until she has finished talking?” Answer: For the sake of politeness, perhaps it would be better to wait until your friend returns to the table! But as no one can very well like cold food, 1 would suggest that you continue eat- ing, slowly. or if she is kept very long. it would be best to have both your plates sent out to the kitchen and have them reheated.

WOMEN'S FE Refining Coarse Skixns. are girls with flawless skins others - whose complexions their despair, but in between these two extremes is the sort of skin most of us have. It is neither conspicuously lovely nor is it unsightly, but it is capable of becoming either. If it is given proper care it can be made clear and beautiful; if neg- lected, it will become coarse and saliow. A good way to refine and whiten skin that is not as beautiful as ycu could wish is to give it a bleaching und astringent pack once a week. This treatment tightens the enlarged pores and gives the skin that enviable vel- vety look. Bef by cleansing the skin thor- ovghl skm cleaner. Keep on applying the cleansing agent and wiping it off un- til the cotton or tissues you are using for the purpose show no soil. Then pat on a massage cream and go through the usual facial massage movements which are described in my leaflet on sires this leaflet may have it if a stamped, addressed envelope is sent with her request. After the massage, which lasts about 5 minutes, wipe off the cream. Have ready two pads of clean absorbent cot- ton moistened with boric acid solution or with a reliable commercial eyewash. Place these pads over your eyes. Have | ready also some strips of clean, soft cot- ton material—ieces of an old night- gown will do. Dip the strips in an as- tringent lotion, then lay them over your face, leaving nostrils and lips un- covered. One of the strips should be long enough to extend under the chin and up over the head like a chin strap; pin it firmly in place. Leave the as- tringent bandages on for 5 minutes. Extract of witch hazel may be used for this part of the treatment or you may use a commerc:al astringent lotion.
