MAGAZINE PAGE. Conquering Contract I By P. HAL SIM§——m8m8M Mr. Sims is universally acclaimed theraise. This will be discussed in a later reatest living contract and auction | player. He was captain of the renowned *Four Horsemen” team, and has won | 24 national championships since 1924. Responding to One No Trump With & Five-Card Suit. ESTERDAY I explained the rea- son for advising very light take- outs with suits of five cards, | both from considerations of | safety and for constructive pur- pose However, I do not see the use keeping the bidding cpen—and pos- sibly deterring the third hand from| making a bid—unless there are some hopes for a constructive outcome. My idea of the line which divides a pass from a takeout is as follows: 1. Bid any five-card suit headed by ace-ten or by king-jack even if there 48 no other face card in the hand. 2. Bid a five-card suit headed by the queen if there is a king in the hand; or a five-card sult to the jack if there | is a primary trick in the hand in ob-| vious re-entry form; an ace or two kings or a king and a Q J x holding. These are weakness takeouts. With stronger hands it is not necessarily ad- | visable to bid a weak five-card suit, in | fact you will generally gain by raising | in no trumps when the hand fulfills the requirements already set forth for such | WITTY KITTY ‘The girl chum says the traffic cop one person who won't let bygones bygones when red lights are con- | article. The Re-entry for the Suit. With weak responding hands the main difficulty, when tne eventual con- tract is in no trumps, is how to bring in the small cards of the suit after it has been cleared. That is why it is important to have a probable entry card to foil the efforts of the enemy to shut off the first and second Younds with their high card or cards. When the suit is headed by the ace or king, that honor is likely to be the entry itself. Declarer probably has the other one of the two top honors and two small cards and can concede the first trick. He will bring in the sult by winning the second round in his hand and the third with dummy’s high card, unless the enemy’s holdings are divided, 4-1. Holding only A x, K x or Q X X, there |is the probability that he will be so | strong in the other suits that he can regard dummy’s long suit as merely a convenience for stopping that suit, and develop his main play in one or more of the other suits. By refraining from touching the suit, he may compel the enemy to retain their protective honor and its guards, and so embarrass them, or one of them, as discards become necessary. These will at least be play- ing points in his favor if he is strong enough to take the bidding to three no trumps after a warning rebid of the suit. In a contract of three in the suit, the re-entry question does not arise. A sad lonely queen cannot be trusted be the re-entry for its own little “x"-s; you need at least a king in the hand to serve as probable re-entry after the opponents have held off with thelr king or ace until declarer has no more of the suit to lead, or is blocked. If he is strong enough to insist on three no trumps after the rebid warning, he is pretty sure to hold the ace to the dum- my's king, so there will not be much doubt about that card for ultimate entry purposes. A miserable suit headed by the jack must have an ace with it or else two likely entry cards somewhere in the hand, and even so is likely to serve only as a stopper in the suit, not likely to develop low-card tricks unless the opening bidder’s hand has good sup- port for it—A x X X, A Q x. In that event he is likely to go to three no trumps over the admonitory rebid, and Wwill then have a fine chance of making four tricks in the suit even with only an ace to bring it in. Also, when the re- sponding hand holds an ace, he can trust the opener for a powerful hand | if he disregards warnings and contracts for game in no trumps not knowing that the dummy will supply an ace.

Seborthes, or Pityriasis—Under this name two somewhat different condi- tions are described: (1) Ofly sebor- rhea, characterized by an abnormal olliness of the skin of the face, nose and | forehead; and (2) dry seborrhea, a scurfy or scaly condition of the scalp, eyebrows and, more rarely, non-hairy portions of the skin. Seborrhea is the result of some ab- normality of the fat-producing glands of the skin, leading to the production of an abnormal amount of secretion, which in the case of oily seborrhea is of a greasy nature, and in dry sebor- rhea takes the form of grayish or yel lowish dry scales. This condition, of either type, is most commonly first no- ticed in girls just approaching woman- hood. The disease, however, is not un- | common in men. People with dark | skins are more susceptible than fair people. The condition may develop of |itself in perfectly healthy persons, though it is most frequently noticed in | those constitutionally run down in| | health. | |, Bo in whichever form the condition | | takes place, the first step in treatment is to build up the general health in | | every way possible, particular attention | ot take place in the normal ma.nner,} sebaceous cyst, or wen, may develop, which is a roundish or oval encysted | siin-covered tumor containing se- | baceous or fatty matter. The com-| monest site for a sebaceous cyst, or| wen, is on the face, scalp, neck or| shoulders. | Unless f{rritated by bruising or by pressure from the clothes, a sebaceous cyst, which may vary in size from a pea to & small egg, is usually quite painless. While such a cyst may re- main stationary for many years or throughout life, it may, if irritated or fnflamed, suddenly begin to develop, or # may even ulcerate. | If the disfigurement makes it worth while a sebaceous cyst may usually be | yeadily dissected out by a surgeon or | ph; . It is essential that the cap- | sule or wall of the cyst be entirely re- | moved, otherwise it will speedily refill | if #s contents are simply scraped oub.[ A sebaceous cyst is in no way cancer- ous, being due simply to an accumula- being paid to keeping the digestive organs in good order. Local treatment of oily seborrhea consists of washing the face two or three times a day with mild soap and | warm water. Rinse well in cold water | and pat on a little of the following lo- | tion: 20 grains tannic acid, 1 ounce of | alcohol and 1 ounce witch hazel. Where | the scaly type attacks the non-hairy parts as well as the scalp, a mild sul- phur ointment such as the fcllowing may be lightly rubbed in once or twice | a day: Precipitated sulphur, 24 grains; | fiounces benzoated lard, 1 ounce vase- | ne.

You'd have brought her up to be like ourselves—no advantages to speak of, no manners, no polish, no ideas of life beyond the gar- den hedge. This is a new world, Mary, and you're old-fashioned and out of things.” “Maybe I am, but I am stubborn about those advantages. I may be old- fashioned. I know I am, but I'm not blind. And I'm not useless. I can at-| tend to my business of keep.ng a house and making the people in it comfort- | able. I can make my niece a cup of tea and a slice of toast and anything else she takes a fancy to. I can nurse her when she is ill. I can tell her when she is wrong. I can see troutle ahead and avoid it. I can think of somebody else besides myself. These may not be advantages in your eyes, but they are in mine. My niece seems to find them useful, st that. It's a pity she didn't have some of the advantages that I have had. “I wouldn't give up, for instance, my housework, nor my garden, nor taking care of my mother, nor raising my chickens, nor managing the Church | League, nor knowing Dr. Short, nor reading in my library, nor entertaining my neighbors at tea or in the garden. 1 wouldn't give up my years of serving and scrimping and doing for a tour of the world, or & course in a stylish school, or lessons in bridge, sports and goodness knows what else. Not that I think the child should not have these €00d things, 113 't She ought to have as 0 PATRL much fun as she can, provided she has the advantages of a good home train- ing. To my mind, that training means living with one's family, carrying re- sponsibility for somebody or something outside oneself and a chance to stand on one’s own legs and so strike out for oneself if need be. The advantages that wrap a child in selfishness, helplessness, ignorance, don't appear to mean much to me.” What are advantages for our young people these days? I often wonder as I see their friends selected for them from among the group who might be counted on for advancement later on, when I see them-shut out of the homely experiences that might lend strength to their understanding and grace to their spirits in days to come, when I see them spending their days on surface pleasures without a glimpse of the richer, fuller, truer experiences thot lie waiting for them in fine peovle, in good books, in beautiful works of art. What are advantages of the boy's and girls but the true experiences of fun- camental living? Somehow we have gotten them mixed up with the trap- ping and trimmings of life. We need to strip things bare of the meaningless gestures and seek first the fundamentals of service and honor and nobility. Tnen all other things can be added unto them. (Copyright, 1933.)

HE horse chestnut tree is an immigrant, but it has been planted to such an extent in America that it is looked u as a happy native. Some in April, 1746, John Bartram wrote s letter to one Peter Collinson, thanking him for the gift of some horse chestnut seeds. In that letter he remarks, “Some seem pretty sound.” This is how the lovely tree was introduced to its adopt- ed country. Its native home appears to be in the mountainous regions of Northern Greece. It has been culti- vated extensively in the stately g dens of Europe since the middle of the sixteenth century. ‘Under auspicious conditions, the horse chestnut tree will grow to 75 or 80 feet in height and have a trunk girth of 2 or 3 feet. It is without question Zn:e of our most symmetrical shade 5. By June the tree is in its glory. At this time its handsome dome of dark green leaves is fairly covered with the exquisite snowy pyramids of flowers. These pyramids stand from 6 to 12 inches in height and each white flower has a throat of yellow, speckled with purple. The colors are the honey guides for the bees. The leaves of this tree are so dis- tinctive that they are never confused with any other, except their cousins, the buckeyes. They are composed of either five or seven leaflets and grow in the form of a fan from a stem 4 to 7 inches long. The wood is a pale yellowish-white, soft and close grained, and has little commercial value. Its chief asset lles in its ornamental beauty and value as a shade tree in the hot cities. The “nuts” are well known to all woods-loving boys. The round, prickly case protects the one to three large, | brown, lustrous “nuts” until they are ripe. They lose their beauty when ex- | posed to the air. As they contain a bitter property, they are not fit for food, though it is said that hogs and | goats thrive upon them. A flour is | made from them that is used in mak- | ing cosmetics and a paste that is very tough and objectionable to insects. | This virtue endears it to bookbinders. There are old books which reveal the supposed medicinal value. The bitter |bark is an astringent and was used in tanning leather. A tea made from HORSE CHESTAUT- the fruit was considered an effectual treatment for gout and rheumatism. Children afflicted with whooping- cough were dosed with & decoction brewed from the leaves. ‘The name is derived from the scar made where the leaf stalk leaves the twig. You can see what appears to be the imprint of a horse’s hoof. Boys love to gather the nuts and play the famous game of conquerors with them. No other tree has been more hon- ored. In England there is even & Chestnut Sunday, when thousands come from London and its suburbs to enjoy the glorious display of blossoms on the Avenue of Chestnuts in Bushey Park, on the Thames.

MODES OF THE MOMENT X N DOROTHY DIX’S LETTER BOX EAR MISS DIX—We are two young couples, stii! in college, who have been going together for two years. We are very much in love and intend getting married as soon as our education is completed. Our trouble is that the parents of both girls object and frown on all evidence of affection between us, even though they realize that we intend to get married. Is there any way of coping with parents who have been married so long that they do not believe in & display of affection? TWO PERPLEXED COUPLES. Answer: A cynic said once that there were certain things that were worse than immoral. They were bad taste. This is the point of view, doubtless, that is taken by the girls' parents as it is by all other sophisti- cated people, who are not so much shocked as they are disgusted at a public display of affection between engaged couples. TNJOTHING is 50 provincial, nothing so utterly marks & boy and girl as having no social background and no knowledge of the world as to make a display of their emotions for every grinning Tom, Dick and Harry. I often see a girl with her head pillowed on a young man's shoulder in the movies, or a young couple hugging and kissing as they ride along a public highway in a car, and think that if they only knew what figures of fun they looked to the observer they would rather die than put themselves in such’a ridiculous attitude. 8o, while it may not be wrong for an engaged couple to induige in petting parties in public, it is certainly common, and it hands the multi- tude a laugh or an acute sensation of nausea. YOU see the idea, among refined and sensitive people, is that there is something sacred about the love between a man and a woman, and that the expression of it should be as private as possible. They feel there is something holy in & kiss and in the way a man’s arms go around a woman, as if he held in them all that the world could give him of happi- ness. And they feel that to make a public display of this feeling is to vulgarize it and rob it of its finest thrill. In & way, you may compare love to a feast. You can stay your hunger by sitting down in a cheap restaurant at noon of a blazing hot day and gobbling down cabbage and corned beef while you touch elbows with the hot polloi. Or you can dine delicately in what the poet calls “the solitude of two,” alone with the woman you love, with flowers and shaded candles ;dr:;he soft lilt of music in the distance. And it is up to you which you As to & continual display of affection promoting love, that s also & mistake. You can get as much fed up on petting as you can on a steady diet of chocolate creams. The kick you get out of a kiss depends upon its rarity. And don't make the mistake of thinking that because married couple do not advertise their affection for each other by sitting up and holding each other’s hands, or smothering each other with kisses, me;; hn‘:’e ceased to love each other and have nothing but s cold com- panionship, ‘They have passed the stage where they had to be continually assured of each other's affection. Their love has become so much a part of their lives that they take it for granted, and under their quiet attitude toward each other is a devotion that is as much stronger than your boy and girl love as the current of a deep river is stronger than that of & babbling brook. Of course, the boy and girl in love are going to kiss and pet. But in the name of good taste and because it will add a flavor to your kisses, let me implore you to do it privately. Save the public from having to witness it and we will arise and call you blessed. DOROTHY DIX. DEAR MISS DIX—After a man marries, which should come first, the wife or the mother? MARY, The love a man feels for his mother and that which he feels for his wife are 5o entirely different that they do not come in conflict, if either the mother or the wife will look at it in a sensible way. As to his duty to his mother, that depends on different circumstances. If the mother is old and sick and the wife is young and strong, it would be his duty to support his mother rather than his wife, because one could work and the other could not. But, generally speaking. man has a greater obligation to his wife than he has to his mother because her happiness is a responsibility he assumed, and because the welfare of his children depends upon DOROTHY D relationship with the mother. his IX.

We had one horse named Dick, and I might tell you many & tale of my adventures with him.

Those living things that are unable to make the proper adjust- ments from time to time are bound to vanish from the scene of actual living ‘competition. More and more our leading psycholo- gists are turning out to be biologists. Or perhaps a better way to put it is to say that the psychologists are extend- ing the domain of biology. Biology is & life science. So is psychology. ‘The really big problems of psychology today are laid at the door of those who are attempting to figure out ways and means for educating a human being along the proper psychological lines. 'lu‘::ge \!tl great deal of confusion on One thing seems certain. Every edu- cational venture is premeditated ad- Jjustment. The so-called psychological tests, ineffectual as they are, represent 8 step in the right direction.

This sort of educational psychology fulfills the mission of every science—namely, prediction. ‘This leads to the only real difference between biology and psychology. Biology is a record of the past, leading to the present; psychology is quotation of the future in terms of the past and present. DINNER. Cream of Onion Soup. Roast Chicken, Brown Gravy.
