SMARTNESS liONL VNVK\
PLAIN stup.dity is nowhere
near as co?tlv as misdirected
smartness. which' ^oroial'.v goes
undei the title of "smart -Meek
ness." Once in a while we encoun
ter a player who strains every ef
fort to perpetrate bright-seeming
plays and bids, copying what he
has seen some t::. player do. but
without realizing that he is doing
it at the wrong time or in the
wrong way. Usually those efforts
prove a boomerang that crushes
ths thrower.

East "played smart" even dur
ing the bidding by passing when
he should have bid 1-Spade, reck
oning that he might thus trap the
opponents into =.i contract they
couldn't make,- and he stayed
"smart" by not doubling the con

including help from East, and
got it.
He let two diamond tricks go by ;
and took third, on which East :
discarded the heart 2. Then he j
led a heart, played the Q and, just I
as East was about to make the
• bright" play of the 5, blanking
his K. West reached for the trick, j
expecting the K to be played. See- |
ing this, Mr. Hazen then laid down !
the heart A. dropping the K. On !
the club 10 then East false-carded
the 9. Mr. Hazen read that as a
false-card and abandoned his plan
to finesse. His K, followed by the
A. dropped the Q. The heart J,

produced his ninth trick, and he
gave up two spades at the end.

Less Picnr.ent Than Brunettes, Who Tan

• NOTHING will hasten tan
ning. Tar.nin.tr is the mobilization
of the pigment producing cells of
the body reacting evenly to the
stimulus of light. The brunettes
have more pigment than the
blondes and t'nei .-tore tan quicker
and more paink iy. Blondes have
less pigment and tan unevenly—
freckles, and some blondes have
no pigment at all to s;w:ik of, and
burn and peel and redden and suf

no way to change these funda

severe illnesses result from sun
burn.
Vinegar evaporates in the sun
light and has no effect on tanning
or peeling. Any non-volatile oil
interferes to some extent with the
absorption of light ami therefore
protects against sunburn and sub
sequent pet-ling. An oil with some
dark pigment may filter light suf
ficiently to make tanning a slower
and more even process, avoiding
the unpleasant preliminary stage
of burning.
Sensitivity to sunlight exists.
It takes two forms. In one, hive
reactions—itching and swelling
occur at the point of contact. This
conies on immediately and lasts a
short time. In the other, there is
itching, redness, secretion and
scaling: it is a delayed reaction,
becomes more pronounced the sec
ond day and lasts a week. Both
types can be prevented with ultra
violet rays in doses just short of
the amount that produces a re
action.

is myffwt due to c vitamin de
ficient dietf
This suggestion would :?em to
cause us to revise many wf our
present ideas about visual defects,
but the evidence is reviewed with
conviction by an experienced ocu
list of Kansas City, Dr. Hugh j
Miller. It is certainly not impos- '
sible because we know vitamin
deficiency causes organic changes
in the eye, particularly in the con
nective tissue which is the part
involved in short-sightedness and
astigmatism.
In questioning a large number
of patients who had myopic visual
defects, about their lifelong diet- :
ary habits, Dr. Miller found that
fat was avoided by them, begin
ning in childhood and continuing i
into adult life. Vitamins A and ;
I) are fat soluble and Vitamin A ,
is known to have effects on the eye, l
especially in forming the hard
sclerotic parts of the eye. The
Japanese are not meat eaters, I
which means fat eaters. Rice and
soy beans are their staples, and it |
is estimated that one and a half ;
pounds of meat to the individual ,
annually is the average consump
tion of meat in Japan.
"Our greatest difficulty," said
a Japanese flight-surgeon, "in get
ting pilots is neither mental nor
emotional, but defective vision."
Animal experiments show chat
when fed on Vitamin-A-free diet,
rats lose the normal contour of
their corneas, and regain the nor
mal contour when Vitamin A is
added to the diet.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
A. M. E.—"Please tell me if
calcium can be taken in tablet or
liquid form. If not, what foods
contain calcium?"
Answer—Calcium can be taken
in the form of calcium carbonate,
a harmless powder. The food
which contains most calcium is
milk. Most hard waters contain
calcium.
