North will open the bidding with one heart.

Now what should South do? Most of us agree that South should bid two spades at this point; but when I saw the hand played, South bid one spade and his partner bid two diamonds. Certainly now South should bid three spades but he didn't. He bid two spades, North mid three spades, and South signed off with four spades. And in the play of the hand, they made only five, although six was a spread! West's ace of clubs held the first trick and he continued with a club. South winning with the king.

Now South should lead the ten of hearts. If West covers with the king, dummy wins, leads a small AK9 AQ802 AQ74 94 Dealer AQ7642 WE'LL. THEY ALL THAT TO SOME BiGGER. WORD THPV I CAN'T BE PUTTIN' EMERY WHEEL NO. 2.

Hundreds of battle shock victims are expressing gratitude for what motion pictures, shown on hospital walls and even on ceilings for bedridden patients, have done fo them. Minds taking subconscious refuge from the terrors of war have been pierced for the first time in months by motion pictures. Four hundred hospitals have been equipped with 16 mm. portable sound motion picture equipment. Ha!

Lloyd Nolan told it on the set of "Circumstantial i A friend went to call on a pal and was greeted at the gate by two dogs, a Scotty and a Sealyham. The Scotty looked up and said, "Good morning. Haven't seen you around here for a long time." The visitor was flabbergasted.

"Ye gads," he asked his host, "does your Scotty always talk to your guests? He actually said good morning to me." The friend was unconcerned. "That wasn't Scotty," he replied casually. "It was the Sealyham. He's a ventriloquist." Otto Kruger will play the role of Earl Carroll in the filmusical, "Earl Carroll's Vanities." Earl Carroll, I guess, wasn't the type.

TROTT Assistant Director, Red Cross Nursing Service Vritten for NT5A Service One of the first things a student mnrsB la tauerht in the hospital is to treat promptly with an antisep tic even the tiniest scratch or pin prick on the hands. This is an important lesson for the home nurse also. In carine for the sick the nurse's hands are very likely to become contaminated with body discharges. When the skin is broken it is an easy matter for bacteria to enter and cause a se rious Infection.

Any wound on the hand should be promptly and thoroughly washed. Dreferablv with boiled water. If this is not available, wash it with clean warm water. Scrub the skin around the injury with soap and water. Wipe dry with a clean cloth, apply 2 per cent iodine or some other antiseptic with i toothpick 'swap, and cover the in iurv with a clean dressing.

If you do not have sterile dressings at hand, take an old fiandkercniei and iron it quickly with a hot iron Being careful to touch only the edges, fold it' and apply to the wound. Fasten it on with a band ace or with adhesive tape. All members of the family should be taueht that it is danger ous to put an injury, even one as small as a pin prick, in the mouth to suck the blood. The mouth har bors bacteria that may cause se rious infection. The use of a soiled handkerchief to cover an injury is also a danger ous practice, because the handker chief is contaminated with nose and throat infection.

If a clean dressing is not imme diately available it is better to leave the wound exposed to the open air until proper care can be given, than to cover it with a soiled handkerchief. A moderate amount of bleeding will help to wash away the germs that may have entered will do no harm if not continued long. The hands are so important in the business of living that no chances should be taken with infections that might result in the loss of a finger, if not of the whole hand.

Eight states are clinging to the tradition that Thanksgiving should be the last Thursday in November, and will have their turkey Nov. 30, one week after the "President's Thanksgiving:" One reason for this is the confusion which began when President Roosevelt broke precedent back in 1939 and moved 'Thanksgiving up one week to Nov.

23, to the dismay of schools and colleges which had planned the big football game of the, year for a fweek later. Old Date Kept Numerous governors promptly announced that In their states Thanksgiving' would be the last Thursday in November, as usual Even this year, numerous calen dars show Nov. 30 as Thanksgiv ing, although the new "Thanksgiving law" had been on the stat ute books since Dec. 26, 1941. On that day President Roosevelt signed a congressional resolution intended to make everyone' forget the "Franksgiving" squabble by declaring that beginning in 1942, the fourth Thursday in November be proclaimed Thanksgiving Day by the President.

It is public law 379 of the 77th Congress, sponsored by 2 Republicans, Representative Earl C. Michener of Michigan and Senator John Danaher of Con necticut. Thanksgiving in 1942 was Nov. 26, the fouith Thursday. Most of the trouble with the new law will come, as it has this year.

from the fact that there are some times 5 Thursdays in November. Some governors and legislatures will insist Thanksgiving be the last Thursday, even if the President proclaims the fourth. Some Adopt Nov. 30 Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho. Nebraska, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia will observe Nov.

30 as Thanksgiving this year. Some of these states, and perhaps some of the other 40, will have 2 holidays, Thanksgiving and the so-called "Franksgiving," because their laws permit the governors to declare any day a state holiday. Texas and Virginia particularly are very "state-minded." The last Thursday in November always has been Thanksgiving in Virginia, probably always will be. In Texas, the big football game of the year between Texas and Texas A. and M.

has been set for sometime for Nov. 30. Some Texans say this was the most important factor in decid ing the date for Texas Thanksgiving. The whole subject is a touchy matter on Capitol Hill. Members of Congress have found themselves in the unique situation of having voted for the resolution making the fourth Thursday in November Thanksgiving Day, to end the con troversy, and then having their governors proclaim a different day.

They don't like to talk about it, They can criticize their own states. 'Just Plain Forgot' "I think our governor just plain forgot about our new Thanksgiving law," one legislator said after mak ing certain his name would not be used. "We'll undoubtedly have two cel ebrations, which certainly is bet ter than none, so just forget about it," was another's brushoff. The last of the before the new law, was the earliest, Nov. 20, 1941.
