vV -'i Fivo Richmond Timcs-Dispatch: Saturday February 25 1933 Meditations By ALLEY Culbertson on Contract By Ely Culbertson Walter Winchell On Broadway To Phyllis on Rates of Exchange I have no heart since you have gone away For this anomaly you share the blame! Think of the debt of loneliness pay Such usury knew not when you cams But knowing you shall have the Interest Bo keep the heart without It I shall live Happy as when had It I am blessed In that I have no other heart to give And while you keep it by you It will sing A wanning monody of sweet unrest Until you find yourself a-wondering Why your own heart complaint within your breast And thus with confusion oS beset Lend me back to satisfy the debt! Lee Carr Choosing the Right Bid An immediate overcall of bid suit is rarely justified by one's holding Usually a hand does not contain quite enough strength to require partner to continue bidding until a game la reached and the alternate course of the takeout doable always available However in those rare cases when such a bid Is possible It should be given at once as undue delay may shut out a valuable round of bidding Tbs actual bidding on tha hand below was as follows: West Dealer Neither side vulnerable A A OAKS KQJ7 4 KQ JIT A IB i 10 4 10 4 6 4 I AS SP 7 I OQM A 10454 the most expressive but the plainest a flee bid can do no mars than bid five clubs and now If North wishes to dunr the hearts he has to do so at the range of five His decision to para was a little conservative but cannot be severely criticised The whole trouble- with the hand was the double An immediate bid of two spades would have enabled him to bid the hearts later at lower figure aa raise would have been shut out and West would not have dared rebid to three spades without any help from partner The bidding would therefore proceed along these lines: South West North East South West North East 1A 2A Pass IB Pass 19 Pass Pass CV Paw Pasa Paw Even If West does put in the three spade bid south should do same further bidding over four hearts as his bid of three clubs was a forced bid and showed no strength at alL This hand illustrates the many subtle inferences available In the game of bridge The two spade Md must he made so that the heart suit can be shown below game and even though North may not he entirely conscious of this at first be should make his technically correct bid (Copyright 1933 Ely Culbertson) Free Calbertsea Bosk let By special arrangement reader! of this newspaper may have a free copy of "The Ruin and Ethics of Bridge" by Ely Culbert- -son Address Mr Culbertson In care of this newspaper inclosing a stamped self-addressed Once North has doubled he la automatically In trouble The next time the bidding reaches him he la ean banted with a choice between allowing Ms heart suit and showing his control of the spade suit Hie decision to bid four spades is probably correct as it seems almost certain that a bid of four hearts will be passed South having already made words should be chosen The fondness of some writers for words that carry with them an air of learning prevents them from being understood by more than half the people "If a man wishes hb messages to have an effect on all readers he had better be guided by the writer who would use only words that could be understood by hb Izzy Elinsenisms I've Just learned why conferences of the world's greatest minds have failed to end the depression Every time they put their heads together they find themselves In the because of Einstein's hair Congress trying to cut down our os If we have a great enough surplus of beans already And that slogan seems to have been changed to "Join the with the discovered the cutest little speakeasy They have the decorations under the where the customers can see them The Metropolitan trying to raise 3300000 to continue Grand Opera in New York That Owning and SANITARY Information By Frederic Ilaskin Operating Main Sjreet I A Echoes of the Past Tillotaon to Carr Winchell Picture Here Parody on Field By Harry Turker DEAR HARRY: I read what Prank Carr said in Tuesday's Main Street shout old-timers plays and playen too remember Fay Templeton when she was a kid and her father and mother were In Mrs Can-wsyls stock at the Old Brooklyn Theatre that was in the seventies Mattie Vickers married Charley Oilday Also remember Jerry Cohan and Mrs Cohan and George coming along catching np and taking the lead That talk Mr Carr repeats Is mighty good stuff and well worth repeating Last time I saw Jerry was in 1913 in Chicago at tbe Auditorium with the Lambs' Club George waa with him as was lot of other worthwhile people But does Mr Carr remember when the "Block Crook" "White Pawn" and "Field of the Cloth of Gold" mm into vogue?

told that your heart Is slightly enlarged Now an enlarged heart under ordinary circumstances is not a good sign aa it may be enlarged because of a leak In one or more of the valves of the heart The extra work required In pumping extra Mood enlarges the heart However If you have done hard physical work or have taken vigorous exercise tennis it Is only natural that your heart should be enlarged because this extra work has demanded a stronger flow of blood to the active parte of tha arms and particularly tha leg Drs BramweU and Ellis together with a number of other hurt specialists examined a group of twenty-eight Marathon runners in London England They found that they were lighter in build and considerably older as a class than the other athletes They found the pulse rate with an average of hut SS brats to the minute Instead of the 66 to 73 beats in other athletes By means of the X-rays the hearts of these runners were found to be relatively larger than those of any other group of athletes The conclusion in regard to this enlargement of the heart is that "the evidence of an enlarged heart in Marathon runners ski runners and others who engage in long continued exertion Is not necr trily an evidence of disease hut Is a necessary enlargement compensatory) and Is In agreement with what Is found in animals which live under conditions of con tlnuoua exertion These animals have a higher heart weight In proportion to Ihelr body weight than animals that taka no severe or continuous exercise" The big point is that these runners slow and strengthen their heart by "continuous" exercise an exercise that makes a steady regular call on the heart to pump more blood to the parts of the body being used usually the legs That is why the boxer the football player the hockey player and other athletes get their hearts into good condition by road slow running or skipping exercises You ran strengthen your heart in this manner If too old for road running or skipping you can walk
