We have It straight from a UP correspondent, Jack Gaver, that, In the opinion of John Scarne, internationally known game authority, Canasta may be the hottest thing In the card line since Gin Rummy, but It's chief appeal Is for women because It doesn't require much mental effort. "Men," says Mr.

Scarne, "will play It with women to keep them happy, but I'll bet you won't find men who are good card players choosing Canasta as a game for themselves. It Isn't strategic enought for them. "Women like It because it doesn't require much skill and a dub at cards can get enough of those red treys and high point wild cards to make a skilled player look like a bum." Well, what do you know? The poor men. Just playing the game to keep us when what they really want is a dollar limit poker game. It wrings our heart to come face to face with such self sacrifice, it really does.

And what are the women doing while all this is going on? There are good card players among women, too, and what in time are they doing spending hours every evening playing Canasta with the men? Most of them are doing It because the odd characters they married In a weak moment have been unable to learn to follow suit or have failed to grasp the Importance of the two and a half trick requirement for an opening bid, to say nothing of being completely staggered with the technique of a Simple finesse. Skill. Shucks! We agree with Mr. Scarne that men who are good card players will not adopt Canasta as their own perineal game but we cannot agree that thia is purely a male prerogative, The good card players among the women aren't going to cleave to It either. But since Canasta always Is exciting, even with dull players, it is more fun to play an exciting game with dull players than to ruin a "strategic" game with the same dull players.

Canasta has proved to be a boon to hostesses over and above their Wildest dreams. Ths Joneses now ran be invited with the Smiths. Mr. Jones does not know an opening bid from a ran of tomatoes and Mrs. Smith would not know one If she found It in her salad.

Mr. Smith, though, is a life master and Mrs. Jones has twice won the cup at the Daisy Chain Bridge Club. And they all sit down and play Canasta together and are as hi.ppy as If they had good sense. They remember to declare their red treys, they moan and groan when they can't make 120 points for the first meld, they wail and cry when an opponent picks up the pack and they always ask their partner, politely, If they may go out.

The only game that ever attained wide popularity over the entire world which never has been made to bite the dust Is Bridge. Even through all the changes from Whist, to Bridge, to Auction to Contract, and when there wers B7 varieties of systems being foisted upon the public. It has survived. Canasta may not weather the storm so well, but if the hostesses of this world have Brdthing to say about It It will be here for a long time. The Kibitzer will answer questions on any card game, Enclose a stamped envelope for a personal reply.

Paris Teeners Serious, But Go For U. S.Jazz, Says Walnut Hills Girl BY JIM SCHOTTELKOTTE. MOST HIGH SCHOOL students at one time or the other dream of a trip to one of the big cities of Europe but only a few ever realize that dream. One of the lucky ones is Mary Jane Heintx. a senior at Walnut Hills, who has just returned with, ber parents after a year of study In Paris.

Mary Jane was impressed with the serious attitude of the younger French and thought that the average French teen-ager was more mature than American teenagers, but thought that that was because of the war. When asked what American characteristics seemed most spparent in the French student, she replied, "Jitter-bugging and American jazz," and then added, "basketball is also becoming very popular but they're still interested In their old sports such as bicycle riding, soccer and volley ball" As to the most peculiar characteristics of French youth, bicycle riding and going on dates without socks stood out "They ride bicycles with consideration for nobody, and as to the socks, well, they just don't wear them whether they have them or not" CINCINNATI STUDENTS will play a major part In the annual Junior Red Cross enrollment drive to begin this week with a teacher-sponsored meeting Friday and a day-long workshop Saturday. Nancy Williams, Wyoming High, will speak on "The Meaning Of Membership In The American Junior Red Cross" at the Friday meeting. Alice Cchlemmer, Harrison, will preside at the opening session of the Saturday workshop while John Redfield, Hughes, will be luncheon chairman at the same meeting. THE Regina Glee Club has come op with an Idea which sounds like a humdinger.

Every other Thursday, community sings are held among the students with the Giro Club leading. Tryouts for the Triple Trio, singing group from Terrace Park, were held this week and out of 20 candidates, the following nine girls were selected: Nancy Binder, Linda Cady, Virginia Rawnsley, Jane Murphy, Becky Swisher, Ginsel Barnett, Olive Terwillegar, Bonnie Bowersock and Hazel Gilbert OCR NOMINATION for one of the top organizations in the city goes to the Elderaldes of Eldar High School. This club assists In the various activities of the school such as ushering at football games and serving at dinners. Remarkable thing about the club Is the high respect it receives from Elder students. These organizations usually receive all the scorn the students can throw.

Another group which seems to be getting bigger and better each year is the Hyde Park Junior Music Club, composed of BO members from schools throughout the city. Students give skits or dances at private homes at monthly meetings. Gordon Doughman, Wlthrow, is President; Ruth Stone, Hughes, Vice President; Patricia. Treyers, Norwood, Recording Secretary, and Joe Lawrence, Treasurer. ELECTION result are still pouring In, so here is a sjulrk summary.

Cheerleaders at Terrace Park are Nancy Binder, Barbara Binder, Barbara Beets, Carolyn Hammon, Audrey Wory, and Jo Ann McCollum. New yell leaders at St Bernard are Margie Graves, Jo Ann Peak, Deva Garrett and Dorothy Krelg. Adele Gratsch has been chosen President of the Glee Club at Regina, with Jean Healy and Carol Piepmeyer serving as librarians. The new An-aual Committee at Holmes includes Sue Brunst, Teddy Hacker, Nancy Herget Bob Hutsell, Joan Kees, Barbara Lyons, Tom Prather, Mary 8ue Robertson, Bill Sturgel, Albert Taylor and Oliver WaddelL THE ENQUIRER reported In a story a few weeks ago that a six-year-old schoolboy in Ochoa, New is en-tering first grade this fall and that his father, a rancher, is going to fly. the child IS miles to school In his private plane every morning and fly him back in the afternoon.

Referring to the same story In a recent Issue, the New Yorker wondered whether his mother asks him every morning, "Have you got your parachute" instead of the time honored, "Have you got your hankerchlcf." While we're lifting from magazines, a recent article in Quick also caught our fancy. It seems that teen-agers soon will be able to buy nylon socks In five colors and can be seen at a distance of two miles. This sort of thing could prove to be a big advantage to some truant officer chasing a hooky-playing student MEET a guy with a prexy personality. He's Bill Hope-well, a senior at Marlemont, Captain of the football team, President of Student Council and President of the senior class. According to our information, he could also have been editor of the annual but turned It down because of too many other things to do.

Bill will be chairman of the "Senior Kickoff," the senior dance, at the school Friday night In a different part of the city, members of the Y-Teens at Wyoming will charter a bus for the Wyoming-Milford game Friday night "Corral," the Wyoming teenage club, will hold its annual party after the game. A NEW TWIST to their annual picnic for their Little Sisters is planned by Seton's seniors at their outing Friday at Rapid Run Park. Freshmen will be dressed as Indians and their conversation will be limited to "Ugh" and "How." Dedication of the new grill at the same school will be held today with a volley ball game between Seton and St Rita School for the Deaf on the program. A wiener roast will be held after the game. Senior Class officers at Seton this year are Mary Joe Kiffmeyer, President; Joan Honer-kamp, Vice President, Joan Thompson, Secretary, and Mary Jane Brofft, Treasurer.

THERE was plenty of news at Walnut Hills this week. The eight new cheerleaders elected were Jo Ann Welder-sheim, Dolly Ross, Mary Roth, Anita Faust, Bob Goepper, Bill Robinson, Disk Murphy and Carl Solway. Don Rose was chosen to direct the 1930 edition of the "Peanuts," an all Junior show to be given sometime in January. The Annual Girls Athletic Association supper will be held Thursday, Shirley Sacs, President, announced. Debby Lowenthal will hold a tea for the polio fund Saturday afternoon at her home.

Central Vocational recently became one of the first schools in the United States to have its own helicopter as an aid in its aviation educational program. The new machine, a late model Sikorsky YH-6 valued at $47,000, was acquired from the Experimental Service at Wright Field through the Air Force School Aid program, These pictures were taken at Lunken Airport where the machine is being stored until a permanent home is found for it.

Pasting a picture of a slim, pretty girl on your refrigerator door will discourage vou from opening it BISHOP-ftgatKtw part of your bustllne. Does It make you look overweighted In this area? Don't despair just reach for the suit with the low-cut tuxedo neckline! Avoid the snug fitting, buttoned to-the-collarbone jacket It's for the slim-topped girl. If the tape placed acros, your shoulders makes them appear to be the widest part of your body, you can wear the rounded, unpadded shoulders.

But If your shoulders slope away, stick to a Jacket with padded, slightly squared shoulders. In general, the following figure types and suit types go -best together: For the tall and thin, a classic tailored suit with extra long jacket or a soft suit with a widely gored skirt and trim, waist-hugging jacket with peplum. For the tall and heavy, a classic suit with hip-bone length jacket, or a soft suit with a straight skirt and flared back or boxy jacket, hip bone length. For the average figure, anything goes! For the short, thin figure, a bolero or short, fitted jacket with straight skirt For the short-heavy, a soft dressmaker with a hip-bone length jacket A WOMAN IS never better dressed for any occasion than in a suit that is immaculately proportioned and fitted to her figure. That is the kind you're going to want.

Your best suit has jacket that extends not more than two inches below your hip bones. NOW PLACE THE tape around your waistline. If your waist suddenly looks as big as your hips, avoid the fashionably nipped-ln waistlines. The just-as-fashionable boxy or flaring jacket with a straight skirt was designed with your figure In mind.

belter shall be waiting so desperately for you, and your faces shall be as the faces of friends and angeis!" In Aaron there was crystallizing a plan of brotherly communion all around tne world, and a vok.c was urging him, "Will yo.i come and help?" when from a million miles away he heard the tiny jeering of Nadine Brun: "That missionary looks like a rampaging goat. I'll bet he's a terror with the women!" Aaron could only snarl, "Shut up, you Infidel!" She told him what he was then. There were so many good points to her remarks that he almost lost the momentum of regeneration which Mr. Harge had started rolling. It seemed to him then that his sins were gone, mysteriously, completely.

Kneeling at the mourners' bench, with the solid hand of Missionary Harge on his shoulder holding him safe. THE WHOLE WORLD had a now light on grass and leaves and hills, vlth a sound that might be the wind and might be great harps singing. Afterward he was stopped by Mr. Harge, now stately in tall silk hat Mr. Harge seemed to Aaron very like his father.

"Sit down, sit down on this bench," he said. "I noticed you at the mercy seat. Fine strong fcilow, thinks I. I was wishing we had someone like you at Bois dts Morts. "The Bois is out on the Minnesota River, 200 miles west of the Mississippi River and Fort Enell-ing.

"What's your job?" "I'm a carpenter. Done little brickwork and plasteiing, too." "And farming?" "Born, brought up on one." "Oh, my -boy, my boy never was the hand of God clearer in hiMory! You're what we need most urgently! We're ordained ministtrr at the Mission, and some of us are as familiar with Greek and Hebrew and the tongues as with our own boyhood palaver, and yet with the aid of our farmer, Jake wa have At the clamorous end of the cobbler's address, a gentle little man climbed up on the platform. He led the meeting In "Rock of Ages," to the new tune. His voice lifted so clearly, the audience followed it so gladly, that when they all yearned together, "Let me hide myself in thee," Aaron felt his frozen heart warming. Mark Shadrock, a Negro, and Dr.

LI, a Chinese Christian minister, followed, but in them there was only serenity. In a sensitized hour, his Impressions of the two men were Important. He sighed, "That's a wonder-fut'entleman, that Chink. If 1 could only talk like him! Maybe it is true that heathen people can become Just as good as us!" "WE SHALL NOW HEAR," Mr. Chippler had said, "from one of the most stalwart missionaries of our time, the Rev.

Balthazar Harge, founder and still superintendent of the famous Bois des Morts Mission among the Sioux Indians, In i Western frontier land called Minnesota. Brother Harge gave up a large law prrctice in Pennsylvania, when he heard the call of the Lord, and gladly went way out there to face the savage barbarians, the ferociously cold winters, the hunger and loneliness. When he returns to his station, as he will shortly do, you will remember having looked upon one of the great message-bearers of our age. hero and soldier of the Cross Mr. Harge!" The missionary was a square, stubby, tallish man with powerful arms and shoulders and, under a hard mouth and weathered cheeks with ravines, a wide chin beard, not a common clerical adornment in that decade.

For all his broadcloth and starched white shirt Mr. Harge seemed like a farmer to a farmer like Aaron, who noticed that under his somewhat billowy black sateen trousers, the missionary wore stout boots. His station, said Mr. Harge, was on a river sometimes called the St. Peter's, sometimes the Minnesota, a Sioux word meaning chalky water.

It was in a wilderness too formidable ever to be settled, and his labors were surrounded by the Sioux or Dakota savage Indians, hell-flamed, gorge-raising, murderous, adulterous, Sabbath breaking sons of Belial, who nevertheless kept begging like scared children in the dark for someone to bring them the healing Gospel of Christ Mr. Harge had come East, he explained, not only to stand lonely at the grave of his old mother, and to have a few more pages printed In the Dakota language for the Indians, but also that he might take back with him two or three young people who were God minded enough to see the glory of gRining for themselves not palaces nor Jewels here below, but greater palaces and jeweled crowns above.

AS FOR THE four young people Gene and Preston gaily, Nadine speculatively, Aaron sullenly-tramped out the Old Fair Grounds Rosd, amid dust and the dry smell of dust and lavish field of buttercups and devil's-palntbrush, the camp-meeting audience was moving thick.

Farm wagons with the children on boards across the box and surprising numbers of female relatives in lace-trimmei- Sunday bonnets. Insane small boys stopping to do unsabbatlcal somersaults. The Fair Grounds lay below a hill of uptilted moor-grass scattered with barberry and scru) cedar and edged with birches along an old stone wall heaped by stony New England farmers. But the flatland had become something out of the Far West Hundreds of backless benches half circled about a wooden platform and beyond them were the tents and wagons In which the worshippers who had come to spend the entire three days. Here, farmwives In aprons had cooked their beans at outdoor fires, and unsabbatarian dogs were still sniffing for scraps.

On a bench at the back of the half-circle Aaron and his troop lounged, and while the Incorruptible Nadine went on thinking of nothing but the bonnets and young men, Gene and Preston became almost as uneasy as Aaron. At first they scoffed, with the light mocking wit of all Parisians, all Romans, but they grew strained. Suppose they were suddenly caught by the power of the Holy Ghost and their pride overthrown, and they became weak with piety and could never enjoy light girls or dark rum any longer? From the platform a cobbler screamed that the Day of Retribution was nigh onto coming. A power of folks who thought big of themselves on this side of Jord.m would learn that the Lord was lying In wait for the purse-proud and silver-tongued, to show 'em that nothin' don't count over yonder but an humble heart and keepin' the Lord's commandments. Aaron saw that Gene and Preston were much less dapper and mocking; that when the cobbler shouter "God will thrust forth Into the light that sin you hid so well:" their mouths slid open and they dared look around.

"Also at Eliot House you'll mot the daughter of our only white neighbor at the Bois, Caesar Lanark, the fur-trader. Selene, hei name is Selene Lanark." He called It "See-lean."

LABEL MAJOR. CITIES New York (WNNS) Young men and women drivers between 15 and 25 years old the group involved in tha greatest number of automobile accidents are the target of a new, clearly written book called "Man And The Motor Car." Illustrated with eye-catching pictures and cartoons, the volume is Intended as a text for beginning drivers, particularly those learning to operate an automobile for the first time. It is the latest move in a country-wide campaign by Insurance companies to reduce accidents among younger persons. Although a large number of automobile accidents are attributed to teen-age recklessness and "competition" on the road, "Man And The Motor Car" tells its story without preaching. In a matter-of-fact manner it describes the physical, mental and emotional qualities of good driv ers, and a chapter on the art of driving gives facts on car control, speed, skidding night driving and other things that would otherwise have to be learned through actual experience.

The book supplements another phase of the insurance companies' campaign teaching high school students how to drive. Begun about 15 years ago when the number of high school driving courses could be counted on one hand, the program now includes more than 6,000 schools, according to the Association of Casualty and Surety Companies. This represents nearly one-third of all the secondary Schools in the United States. In the last year almost half a million students were enrolled in driving courses in their high schools, out of l.Ton.ooo estimated to be eligible. The effect of such courses is obvious, the association ays.

Reports from cities and states Indicate that the men and women who, as teen-age girls snd bovs, receive adequate training, are later Involved in 40 to 60 per cent fewer and less serious accidents, and in fewer violations than those without this kind of training. AND OUTLINE YEARS TRIP WIT-H SW6ET- DIFFERENT COLOR. Now that most of us have returned from summer vacation travels and are buckling down to our winter work, we have only the memories of our trips. One way of keeping these memories bright and clear is to sketch an outline mop of the United States and the major cities and spots visited on youi journey. Each trip from start to finish should be drawn in one color outlining your route frcm place to ace.

The amount of detail that may be included depends on the size of the map you draw. It is best to draw your permanent map after you have sketched your ideas on scratch paper. Use a good heavy quality paper for your final one so that It can be hung as a wall ntap. -Your map may be kept from year to year and new journeys added. If you cant to keep It Indefinitely, jour drawing will keep much cleaner if framd under glass.
