"It was apparent that the hand was a spread if the clubs were di vided evenly. However, I was reiuc tant to let the fate of the grand slam rest upon that lone contingency, so I looked around for an alternate line Of play.

The lay of the cards suggest ing double squeeze possibilities, arrived at the solution as follows: "If East held four club1: and were to reduce all hands to five cards, obviously he would be able to hold only one card outside the club suit itself. Therefore, he could not guard the spade suit with that one card. The lead of the heart jueen certainly marked the jack also in West's hand, and West, there-lore, would have to hold the heart Jack to overlay my ten spot Thus, West would have to guard the spade suit as well as the heart jack. My problem was to make this possible. "Before running dummy's long diamonds, I carefully cashed the heart 'king, discarding a spade from dum-my.

Five rounds of diamonds then left the following situation: -NORTH JA A4 None K7 WEST J98 4 None 48 EAST A 10 8 None 4 None J10 9 8 SOUTH vio None AAQ84 "When East, on the lead of the last i diamond from dummy, made his third spade discard, it was apparent that he was guarding clubs. I therefore let go the club four and West Jthe heart eight Three rounds of iclubs now put West out of the running. He could not let go a spade without establishing both of dummy's spades, and to discard both hearts merely would establish my heart ten. Realizing what I was doing, he surrendered. 4 "It will be noted that the impor tant step in this squeeze was cashing the heart king before running the diamonds, thus forcing East to dis card before the closed hand.

Clergyman's title: abbr. My Neighbor Says dresses, How many of each kind many pairs of shoes? How many hats? Why' can't a sport coat be worn with a formal dress? Why can't a dress be worn for best the second year? Why do dresses differ from season to season? Why is a woman self-conscious if she wears dress that she doesn't think looks good on her? Do other women judge women by their 'clothes to a large especially if they have not met before? Is a tvoman more self-confident if she has just had a fresh fin ger wave and has on a new outfit? Why does my wife resent it when, after she has asked for a new dress, ask her what kind she wants, if can he worn anywhere, how long will it last, will it be good for more than one year and is it for summer or winter? Should a professional man's wife be dressed better than any other woman?" And so on and so on. I could answer these questions by saying that a woman is well-dressed when she is appropriately dressed for the occasion. That involves her having sport things for wearing, say, to football games, and evening gowns for a dinner party. This leads on to her having a varied assortment of shoes, hats, flowers and hair ornaments.

Hence the size of a woman's wardrobe depends on how much she goes out and the strata of society in which she moves. The perplexed husband's other questions can be answered more definitely. Clothes do have a psychological effect upon women that is as great as it is inexplicable. As the current pharse. goes, "they do something to her." They give her poise or an inferiority complex.

There is more moral support in a swanky outfit than there is in Ph.D. degree. Not one woman in a thousand can rise above her hat. If that's all right she can look the world in the face and tell it where to go, but if it is a last year's bird's nest any worm can trample on her, Women do judge other women by their clothes and for a perfectly valid reason. It is the outward and visible sign in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred of what the woman really is.

Most women get their politics from their fathers and hus bands; their religion from their preachers, but their clothes are their own and represent their taste and judgment So when a woman meets strange woman, she rives her the once-over and says to herself: Snei is sloppy. I would be ashamed to be seen out with her. She has no sense of fitness or appropriateness. She would always be a bull in china shop. She is dumb or she would know nobody is wearing that length this season.

Or she would say: That new woman is smart. She is ud to the minute. I'll bet she Is interesting and worth knowing. But, as I said, no man can un derstand the importance women at tach to clothes. The best that husband can do is just to accept the fact and give his wife as generous a dress allowance as he can.

DOROTHY DIX. 1937) HI GREENLAND If we class Australia as a continent the world's largest island is Greenland. This great mass of land and ice is larger than Ontario and Manitoba combined. People who would like a good idea of the glaciers which spread over North America in ages past might make a little visit to Green land. There they.

can find an ice sheet which covers about 700,000 square miles, by far the larger part of the island. Children of Greenland With Eskimo Dog Puppies. The people of Greenland number less than 17,000. All except about 400 are Eskimos. Of the few hundred white folk, most are of Danish descent The island is a colony of Denmark.

The people, animals and plants of Greenland are found almost entirely near the coasts. The plant life includes dwarf birch trees and willows which seldom reach the height of five feet There are moss-covered stretches, and in some soots yellow poppies gTow. Fifty-one kinds of birds are known to nest about the shores of Greenland. These include the eider- duck, from which the people ob smiles at him.

J. G. Hutton, in charge of soil investigations at the state college, described the thinness of topsoil on slopes of many areas in eastern South Dakota. In many places, he said, hilltops are growing "bald" rapidly as the topsoil is carried away by the rapid runoff of rainwater. He recommended contour farming to combat the "baldness."

AID TO RELIEF OF PSORIASIS SYMPTOMS The Itching and irritation of psoriasis is readily relieved by Kesinol Ointment, an old formula containing ingredients well known to physicians for their effectiveness.

To get best results, wash off the scales with a pure, mild soap. Kesinol Soap is gently medicated and free from excess alkali. Use it with warm water, then rinse and pat dry. Spread Eesinol Ointment evenly over the surface, letting it remain for several hours during the day and overnight. Note how quickly its oily base enables the Resinol medication to soothe the angry skin.

Even when the rash begins to fade, do not stop using Resinol too soon. The eruptions of psoriasis have a tendency to recur. For this reason it is advisable to continue Resinol applications to soothe the irritation, as long as any trace of it remains. Get Resinol Ointment and Soap at any drug store. Sample free.

ORDER SAMPLES Mall Orders-Sent Trepald mm Aids Free, Says Singer BY ELSIE FIERCE IT you were to interview Miss Pemberton who, by the way, has been blessed with beauty and charm as well as talent you'd find that she likes to talk about beauty. She would tell you, Just as she did me, that "My secret for beauty ii within reach of all, bacuse I believe in things that everyone can afford.

It isn't necessary to have the most expensive preparations." Spiritual thought and whole-aomeness of thought. Miss Pemberton says, are the best reflectors of beauty from within and without. There is no disguising them. Words, actions the tone of our voice express what we feeL rut the eyes reveal more. Sound Beauty Routine Jler own beauty routine is as ound as her general beauty theory Outdoor exercise horseback riding tennis, golf, swimming keep her very active.

As for the actual skin preparations she uses, she says most any kind of cream is good as it is the circulation of gentle massage that brings results. She also strives get all the fresh air possible. And stresses the fact that "this is free beauty treatment available to all." Miss Bemberton bathes her eyes clear, cold water morning and night and massages gently around them for five minutes to relax eye muscles. She feels that worry always brings wrinkles, but each day's damage can be counteracted by hot bath and rubbing the eyes and throat with cream while resting and relaxing in a warm tub. That treatment works wonders, Miss Pemberton ys.

The lines of care are softened as the muscles relax, ana tension is lessened. Exercise And now let's quote Miss Pern berton on exercise: "I use the regulation college set ting up exercises and walk as much as possible, and swim. For those who cannot afford the things that cost money, walking and stretch ing and rope jumping are splendid, To sum the waistline: stretch your arms high above your head on tiptoe ten times.

(Copyright, 1937.) GOOD TASTE TODAY BY EMILY POST MISCELLANEOUS QUESTIONS Dear Mrs. Post. When visitors, who are almost strangers, comment on ji new apartment or house, is one expected to show the rest of it to them? Answer: Not necessarily but as most people are interested in new anartments and houses it would be nice to offer to show them the rest of it if convenient Dear Mrs. Post: Which do you consider that people who can take only a year's lease at a time on an apartment should buy, carpets or rugs for floor coverings? If the rooms are large and carpet could easily be cut down for any other house, is this an expensive adjustment to make? Answer: Recutting carpet is very difficult. Laying down a rug is very easy.

I would by all means suggest buying rugs. Dear Mrs. Post: We are better off financially than several of the couples we know and would often be only too willing to retrun their simple parties by inviting them to come with us to the theatre, only my wife believes that if we do this it can only make them feel badly because they are not in a position to make any comparable return. don't see why people should be so sensitive unless there is a rule ex acting similar return without con siderini neonle's Individual resourc es.

Dear Mrs. Post: Is a mirror or an oil painting more suitable to hang above the mantel? i nave dow and would like to hang the right one in the right place. Answer: Normally I would say that you should put the mirror above the mantel and the painting on the wall above your sofa, but there is no rule, and you could equally well reverse it This would depend principally upon what is to be reflected in the mirror and its size and shape, and whether it looks well over the mantel. Dear Mrs.

Post: What Is one supposed to do when she is seated at the right of the host and the host carves and serves the vegetables and handb the first plate to her? When this happened to me, I passed it on to the next person and the plate did not stop short of the hostess. But I would have felt positively rude in keeping this first plate unless told to do so. Answer: I think you did the polite thing. Properly the host should have told you to keep it (Copyright, 1937.)

FARRINGTON Montbretias are much like minia ture gladioli. They do not grow so tall and have small flowers, but a greater number of spikes is thrown by each bulb. When the bulbs are planted close together, a fine mass of color is producd. Montbretia bulbs should go about four inches under the ground and only three or four inches apart It is only a waste of money to plant a few bulbs. A group of a dozen or more is needed to make striking effects, and sev eral times that number will be ex tremely useful in maintaiaing gar den color throughout the autumn.

But if any actor tells you he's feeling his role in front of it you tell him he's lying.

Greenland has been called the "Mother of Icebergs." Here is an account of the birth of an iceberg, written by an Englishman who saw it "We climbed a lofty hill, and below us saw a valley glacier which reached in to the water of a large fiord. We were gazing at the great inland sea of ice when suddenly there was a loud report. A moment later came another noise, louder than before. "My companion pointed toward the end of the glacier, and said, "Look! It is rising!" "I could now see that a part of the glacier was being lifted by the water! A great wave was caused bv the upward movement. In an other instant, sound broke through the air with a crash like the dis charge of cannon at close range.

"A crack had opened wide, and a huee chunk of ice had been set free from the glacier. It sank down in the water of the fiord, then rolled over. A new iceberg had been born!" Greenland has scores of valley alaciers which tmsh ice down to ward the sea coast. Thousands of chunks, some of them containing more than a cubic mile of ice, are set free in the fiords each year. These float out into the ocean.

They slowly melt after they drift southward on the Atlantic. (For travel section of your scrap book.)
