One to i IN many deals, the correct final contract is named by one partner and taken out to a bad contract by the other. Superficially, it would appear that the takeout constituted a major error, but this is not always a fair conclusion. Consider this deal: North, dealer.

This is causing a lot of arguments between us, and home is net the same any more. Shall I leave him and go back to my home town? We have no children. In our old town there is a man of 40 whom I've known for years who has asked me to marry him.

What do you think I should do? TORN BETWEEN. sWW ifX ill v- rf'J i. it ft uetfm--: By Clarissa Start MKNTION home movies to most people who've been an audience to them and they immediately conjure up a vision of that five-yawn feature on the baby, little Ermintrude's birthday party, or Our Trip Through Yellowstone, and the resultant feeling of being horribly, inevitably trapped ns the evening wore on. All of which has nothing to do with the way the I Wadmans of 5856 Bartmer avenue make movies. Part of an enthusiastic group of amateur movie makers throughout the country who compete for prizes on their hobby, Wadmnn and his wife turn out short subjects, complete with plot, and have done fo well at it that two of their films placed among the national list of the 10 best non-pro-fessionally made films last year, one the year before.

In the 1945 contests, their film, "Heckled Holiday" won the second award in the Family Films class of a contest sponsored by Home Movies magazine, of Hollywood, while "This'll Kill You" received an honorable mention in one sponsored by Movie Makers, magazine of the Amateur Cinema Leatrtie, Inc. In 1944, their "Trial and Error" won third place among Scenario movies in the Home Movies contest, and also the first Class A award given by the St. Louis Amateur Motion Pictures Club. Cups, plaques, and a scrapbook of reviews of his movies, most of which have won the coveted rating of "Three-star merit leader" also testify to Wadman's skill. "And while this may not look like a lot," says Wadman, gazing fondly at his trophies, "you should see the efforts we amateurs go through to win them." Manager of a drug store in Wellston, Wadman started his hobby when a man talked him into buying a projector that he couldn't sell to anyone else.

"That was about 12 years ago when people didn't take as many home movies as they do now," he said. "I soon got tired of running the one little roll of film that came with the projector so I bought a camera, and as I got more interested, I bought more equipment. Before long I was a charter member of a movie makers club In Kansas City and when we moved here seven years ago we joined the St. Louis club." Now president of the St. Louis Amateur Motion Picture Club, Wadman is the only St.

Louisan to place in national competitions, although more and more members of the club are emulating the Wadmans in jnakinp scenario pictures. Each of the Wadmans' films and they have "a closet full of them" represent four to six weeks of hard work. Their attractive apartment, furnished with carefully collected antiques, evidence of another hobby, serves as background for most of the domestic dramas they film, while the basement is used for building more elaborate scenarios. "I do the writing and directing," Wadman explained, "and we all do the acting. We start with a complete script, not only dialogue but every camera angle, every bit of action written down.

I've found from past experience that you just waste film taking pot shots." Wadman has a natural partner 1 iS ii.l I (II LON WADMAN PHOTOGRAPHING HIS WIFE AND CHILD IN THEIR APARTMENT AT 5856 BARTMER AVE. 4 109865 J105 The bidding: North East SatiHl West 1 club Paso 1 sped rata notrump Pasa 3 spade Pasa 3 notramp Pasa 4 spades Double Pasa Pasa It will be seen that North actually did name a good contract, three notrump, and that South took him out to four spades, which was doomed to defeat. Yet. North's bidding was very bad, and South's was correct! No first-rank player, holding South'n hand, would permit three no trump to stand after the bidding North produced. They would feel, quite reasonably, that the South, hand might not be worth a single trick at notrump (aside from stopping the diamond and spnde suits) but that it might take four or five tricks with spades as trump.

Now, let's consider SoutH's decision if the bidding- has gone properly: North East Sauth Watt 1 elub Pasa 1 saada Pasa 2 hearts Pasa 2 spade Pasa 2 notruma Pasa 3 apadea Pasa 3 a trump pasa South's problem at this point assumes an entirely different complexion. North has shown a biddable heart suit, a diamond stopper and a generally powerful hand, but has strongly Indicated a singleton spade. He not only "reversed" by starting with a club and later bidding hearts, but persisted to three notrump in the face of South's non-commital spade rebid. Just as every expert would persist to four spades in the previous bidding sequence, so every one would pass to three notrump if North truly revealed both his the length of time In movie-making has its drawbacks, she added. "For Instance," she said, "it took us four Sundays to make Heckled Holiday and I had to make bowl after bowl of potato salrd every Sunday.

That was two years ago and we haven't touched potato salad since." Economical Menus for Tomorrow By Meta Given PINEAPPLE-LIME velvet is a smooth, fluffy double-duty food; a delicious dessert when you leave the celery out; an exciting salad if you leave the celery in. It tastes as though it might require some unusual inpredients and a lot of work to make, yet its constituents are commonplace and putting them together is as simple as can be. Since it is a gelatine salad, it can be molded in many torms. A practical one for everyday meals is to turn the mixture into a flat rectangular pan and congeal it till firm and then cut into squares or rectangles. For party service it could be molded in tall custard cups or a scalloped mold.

When unmolded these molds can be used for the skirts of lovely doll or lady salaus to serve at holiday or announcement parties. The china or glass doll half figures are usually obtainable at the dime store and can be set in the top. Then softened cream cheese can be tinted to obtain contrasting color and piped in ribbons or ruffles around the waist and on the skirt to add a bouffant touch. I'ineapple-IJme Velvet. One package lime-flavored gelatine, one cup boiling water, three ounces cream cheese, two-thirds cup crushed pineapple with its juicj, one-half cup finely cut celery, one-half cup heavy cream, whipped; watercress, maraschino or bing cherries.

Add gelatine to water and stir until dissolved. Add and beat with rotary beater until cheese is melted. Chill until slightly congealed, then add pineapple and celery. Fold in whipped cream. Turn into a four-cup mold, rinsed with cold water.

Chill until firm. Unmold on bed of watercress. Garnish with cherries. Six-eight servings. Menus for Thursday.

Breakfast: Orange juice, soft-cooked eggs, whole wheat muffins. Luncheon: Toasted cheese sandwiches, spinach medley salad, prune whip. Dinner: Baked stuffed pork chops, apple sauce, baked potatoes, endive, tomato and cucumber salad. Pineapple-lime velvet. Spinach Medley Salad.

Have all vegetables cold and crisp. Combine three cups shredded raw spinach (about half pound) one-fourth chopped green onions, one-half cup chopped radishes, one and one-half cups shredded lettuce, one-half teaspoon salt and one-half cup french dressing. Mix lightly but thorough, using two forks. Do not stir. Then add one cup grated raw carrots (about, three carrots) and toss mixture two or three times, only.

General Tendencies One of the good days of the week for social interests, particularly where preparation enters in, such as making ready for a party or planning upon entertainments in advance and buying theatre tickets that sort of thing.

It is doubtful if sudden inspirations to go out and have a good time will meet with complete approval. One of the difficulties here is the cost of your fun. Be prepared with plenty of money or else you may find yourself trying to borrow a nickel to get home. If Tomorrow Is Tour Birthday. Your coming year seems highly changeable, so much so that you will doubtless travel or move to some new residence.

You will get along well with both young and old, so this seems good for social contacts, and indeed, one of the indications for 1946 for people born on this date refers to matrimony. Tou seem more apt to choose companions older than yourself in this case. Wait for autumn before expecting definite results in business. Tomorrow's Watchword "We have all the comforts brought by labor-saving devices and all the inventions of one sort or another. We can cross the Atlantic by air in a few hours, we can talk to a friend 10,000 miles away.

We have control of power never dreamed of by man before, but we have lost our sense of security. We have lost contentment." This was said by James Truslow Adams. We cannot fail to realize that present day life is lacking in spii-itual values. Holiday," a color movie, features chubby, curly-haired Lon who is now four, and patronizingly refers to his two-year-old self in the film as "that little fellow in the short pants." In it, the little fellow runs away from his parents on a picnic in Forest Park and while they search frantically, visits all the animals in the Zoo, a plot permitting use of the colorful zoo show plus a small boy's reactions. Like most parents, the Wadmans like to chronicle their son's growth but like to tell a story, too.

The fact that their movies are so smoothly done 'is the result of painstaking care and much labor, even to the making of re-takes, w-hich few amateurs do. In "Trial and Error" for example, the Wadmans were advised it could be a prize winner if certain changes were made so, although six i-ionths had elapsed and both the season and Mrs. Wadman's hair-do had changed, re-takes were made and fitted into the film. "It was a good thing," Mrs. Wadman laughs, "that I still had Try and Slop Me By Bennett Cerf IN the middle of the depression, the owner of a big shoe factory was summoned by the vice president of the local bank.

Ours are silent pictures, of course, and I'm convinced that anyone can act in silent pictures." "With a good director," Mrs. Wadman added, "and Lon's a good director." The Wadman-made films run so smoothly and entertainingly that one almost forgets to appreciate the technique; they are so much in the class of that accepted miracle, the professionally made movie. The first one, "Trial and Error" was the story of a young couple's struggle to stick to a budget, with one especially good scene, in which the camera shows only the hands of the irate husband and apologetic wife as they shuffle through bills with appropriately eloquent gestures. Another, "This'll Kill You," a atire on horror films employs all the standard thrill devices plus some non-standard surprises, such as a scene in which a dozen corpses, all identical, fall from the closet until one of them stops in mid-air, turns to the audience and says, "Sure are a lot of us fellows, aren't there?" This film also has the close-up of a man's eye, the victim's, a device used in "Lost Week-End." The Wadmans are rather proud that they thought of it first.

If you, a married woman, have a man waiting in the background, supposedly anxious to marry you, how much better are you than the husband you accuse of thinking of another? It is quite possible he is not at all interested in your younger sister any more than if she were his own.

It may be that she is just good company and livens up the evenings when you three go places together. Eut however innocent his feelings may be at present, you can well make them otherwise by nagging him. Instead, use your ingenuity quietly to keep Sister otherwise eccupied and less in evidence. Plan activities ahead for yourself and your husband in which she is not included. Dress your prettiest, be your most attractive and interesting and convince your husband that your marriage of 14 years standing was and still is a good idea.

Refuse to allow it to come to grief because of cheap flirtations or jealousies on the part of either. If your sister is living under your roof, see to it that she lives elsewhere. IN ANSWER TO "Mrs. E. I The town is full of baby sitters.

Flowers would be a good idea, or perhaps candy, a pretty handkerchief, or something else in the little gift category. IN ANSWER TO "What Have I I think the boy has the right idea and that you should just forget it.

If he wants to resume the friendship, he will, but let him make the first move. CASE RECORDS By Dr. George We Crane CASE J-227: Loraine T. aged 26, and attractive to look at, had accepted a temporary stenographic position in a Chicago office. The head stenographer was away cn a two weeks' vacation at the time.

"The other three girls in the office seemed to dislike me from the first," Loraine explained, "even though I tried to be friends. I did my work very well. These girls bluntly would say in my hearing that I wouldn't last long. That inside of a week I wouldn't be needed in the office any vioTe. "But I was given a permanent job, and made secretary to one of the officials.

During his absence he even let me handle his correspondence. The other girls grew more hostile to me. "Then Phyllis, the chief stenographer, returned and sided with the other three. At present things are so uncomfortable for me that I am giving up my position, even though my employer likes me. Dr.

Crane, how could I possibly win the friendship of these girls? Or should I go elsewhere?" THE OTHER GIRLS feared Loraine because they thought she might take something away from them, such as their favor with the boss, or even supplant them in the office. What they really dreaded was that they might not be needed any longer themselves. Fear is deflating to our ego, so the person or thing which produces our fear is automatically disliked. An axiom of psychology states that we Hk the people who make us feel good, beautiful, intelligent, and conversely we dislike those who make us feel inferior, who deflate our vanity and self-respect. Loraine's good looks and superior education also tended to deflate instead of inflate the ego of her office associates.

The result was that they disliked her even more. If Loraine is to win their friendship, then she must utilize her looks and education and other virtues as a means of inflating the ego of the office girls. But how? SHE MUST soft pedal any further direct evidence of her cwn superior advantages. Then she must set to work finding out the good points of her associates, beginning especially with Phyllis, their ringleader. Girls like to be popular and they also like to have others think that they are charming and sought after.

To ask advice of Phyllis, especially about shows or clothes cr the right technique to apply to a boy friend, is one powerful means of inflating Phyllis's ego. For when we ask advice we intimate that the person questioned is superior to ourselves in that regard, else we would not be seeking help. This will make Phyllis feel pleased. The next result is that she feels pleased with Loraine. Friendship is then just around the corner.

THE FIVE important ways of inflating the ego of our associates and thereby making them like us are: First, ask them for advice, recipes or information. Second, impute knowledge and experience to them. Third, be sure to intimate that they now have, or at least in their youth they doubtless had. "it or sex appeal. Fourth, compliment their products, their automobiles Or homes, their children or cats and canaries.

Finally, make direct compliments on their artistic fingers, or melodious voice, or cooking ability. I am not recommending bald flattery but sincere compliments based on our close observation of our associates. Thus ie make them happier and as a by-product they like us. So it worked out with Loraine, who soon won Fhyllis and then the ether girls. S731A DELMAR CAbony Utl rnone fl.

ssoo In his movie making in his wife, who was formerly a dancer under the professional name of Harriet Cole, in the Chicago Opera Municipal Opera productions, the Greenwich Village Follies with Gallagher and Sheean, and in numerous vaudeville productions. Also a dancing instructor locally, she was one of Betty Grable's teachers at both Clark's dancing school and Johnny Hanley's. Mrs. Wadman, who still retains her ingenue prettiness, is the feminine lead in most of the "Harlon Productions," while their little boy, Lon has his share of stardom, too. "The cast problem is the biggest one in amateur movie making," Wadman says.

"You can get plenty of people who think they want to be in a movie but they change their minds when they find it means hard work and long hours under hot lights. We have one friend who's been in most of our films, but usually you're afraid to put anyone in unless he's a close friend who'll stick by you.
