With the hand as first given, I would look to the two spade honors and the queen of diamonds to give the declarer playing facility in both those suits, while my clubs would be perhaps pro- tective rather than aggressive in the development of the play. DL , O KGxxx ‘This club holding makes it practi- cally certain that the opening bidder holds the ace, so the suit must be good for four if not five tricks. This pros- pect of a suit to play for immediately, compelling the enemy to make embar- rassing or revelatory discards, amply compensates for the fact that your holdings in two suits are absolutely high cards are concentrated the less optimistic you should be in respon to one no trump with a comparatively weak hand. However, above hand fully justi- fles the raise to three no the second round under all con small club if one adversary should hold four to the jack. Whenever you hold two of the top three honors of a suit, and your partner has opened the bid. ding with no trumps, you may safely assume that he holds the other top honor. Lacking that, he must be tre- mendously strong in the other suits. (Copyright, 1933.) Mr. Sims will answer sll inquirles on contract that are addressed to this news- paper with self-addressed, stamped envelope. S| one of our own horticultural Mr. Sims is universally acclaimed the preatest living contract and auction yer. He was captain of the renowned “Four Horsemen” team, and has won 24 national championships These articles are based on the Sims system, which includes the one-over-one principle which the Sims group of play- ers was the first to employ and develop. Responding to One No Trump— The Rebid. HAVE explained how the respond- ing hand, after making a suit take- out in the first round of bidding, can warn his partner of the weak- ness of his holding by rebidding the same suit after the probable rebid to two no trumps by the opening bidder. Conversely, when the responding part- ner’s hand is strong enough to make a three notrump con- tract desirable, he should relieve the opening bidder of doubt_or guess by himself raising to three no trumps on the second round. The exact mini- fmum strength which justifies the Taise in no trumps {nstead of the warning rebid of the suit is a some- what delicate mat- T to be very posi- tive about, because obviously one should make some allowance if one's partner % uncertain in the play of no-trumpers which offer some problem requiring careful handling, or if he has proved unable to wean himself from old-fash- foned week no-trump bids and persists in shading them for fear a game may be lost if he passes. Use your judg- ment of your partner as well as your knowledge of the system. The mini- mum hands I personally consider strong enough to make the rebid upnecessary mre about as follows: First, if the strength is distributed pver three suits, the five-card suit, if & minimum holding in itself, should be sccompanied by & K J and a queen, or | an ace and a queen, or a king-queen and a jack, or the approximate equiva- nts.

(Copyright, 1933.) “We will go over there tonight,” said Mrs. Reddy, and to this Reddy agreed. So just at dusk the two trotted over toward Johnny Chuck’s house. As they drew near they moved cautiously. “I don’t see him,” said Reddy. “Perhaps he already has gone in,” lied Mrs. Reddy. They separated, and Reddy circled around so as to approach from the op- posite direction. They crouched untfl they were almost creeping. Still no sign of Johnny Chuck. They met on Johnny's doorstep. “You go in while I keep watch,” sald Mrs. Reddy. Reddy entered. - In & moment or two he backed out. “Well?” inquired Mrs. Reddy. “He has left,” replied Reddy. “How do you know he has left?” de- manded Mrs. Reddy. “How do you know he isn't fooling us as before?” Reddy grinned. “Go in there, my dear, and you will know it, t0o,” said he. Mrs. Reddy went in. When she backed out there was a somewhat fool- ish-looking grin on her sharp face. “You were right,” said she. “He is smarter than I gave him credit for being. Prob- ably if we hadn’t been in such a hurry we would have heard him closing that door. I wonder where he has gone now?” Reddy looked around. “My guess is that he is over in the old stonewall,” said he. “Probably he is laughing at us. But we'll get him yet! If we don't Wwe are not so0 smart as I think we are. Let's forget him now and go look for It was the next morning that Flip the Terrier visited that house of Johnny Chuck’s. Down near the end of the hall he found a short branch, a little room, as it were. He was sure it hadn't been there when he had chased Johnny down there. It was empty now, and he gave it no more thought. him Johnny's escape still was a mystery. Of course, it isn’t to you. Johnny had simply rushed in that side room and closed the door by packing the entrance flflymmm It is an old trick of (Copyright, 1933.) S e Good Cleaner.

Wom- ‘They en in their thirties can and OLYNOS often do keep their faces and figures a3 beautiful as they were in the early twenties, but their hands will betray their real age if they are not given special care. Beauty treatments for the hands take "3 little time, but they must be car- | ried out regularly. Doing housework does not necessarily ruin the hands— indeed, they may be enjoying a beauty treatment while busied with household | tasks. One authority on beauty cul- ture maintains that dishwashing with ure mild facial soap and warm (not ot) water is good for the hands. Many women make the mistake of using very hot water for this daily . chore, but this is not at all necessary | since the dishes should be rinsed with ! scalding water after washing. In the| efficiently managed household dishes | are washed only once a day as a rule, | so that it is not necessary for the| housewife to have her hands in dish- water after each meal. After the dishes have received their daily bath, the hands should be rinsed, dried thor- oughly, massaged with an oily cream and then wiped again. The quickest way to soften and whiten the hands and arms is to coat the skin at bedtime with an oily cream and draw on loose cotton gloves to be worn overnight. A good cream for this purpose may be made of two ounces sweet oll, one ounce cocoa butter, one dram borax, one dram oxide of zinc. half ounce of rose water, six drops oil of lemon. Rub this well on the inside of the gloves and also on the skin. By wearing long gloves or white cotton stockings one can give the whole arm the benefit of this overnight treatment. Coarse, rough skin on hands and arms may be wonderfully improved by & dally rub with toilet pumice stone. | ‘This comes in cake form and is sold at | drug stores. The stone not only re- moves embedded grime, but it stimu- lates the circulation. By removing the dead outer layer of cuticle it speeds up the natural replacement of the skin. ‘The new skin is finer, smoother and whiter than the old. The hands and arms should be washed with soap and ‘water before the treatment. Dip the DON'T BE FOOLS HAVE WHITER TEETH THAT ATTRACT SEE RESULTS!

Healthier looking DENTAL CREAM T pumice stone in hot soapy water and rub the skin tly with it until a slight flushing seen, then remove to another spot. Keep dipping the stone in the water as you proceed. After the treatment rinse and dry the skin. Now gently massage in a little cold cream or use the recipe given. One must, of course, exercise com- mon sense in using pumice stone. Never rub hard enough to break the skin or cause serious frritation. A slight amount of irritation—just enough to redden the skin a little—is all that is required to remove the outer layer of cuticle. Use a rotary motion with the stone. Light growths of superfluous hair will be temporarily removed by this treatment and regrowth will not be stiff and bristly.
