"The Authority on Authorities"
A SMALL SLAM PLAY
THERE IS just one kind of
.play which is of vaiu in inak.ng
a small slam contract. but utterly
worthless for grand f:a;n pur
poses That is a lead-throwing
end-play Since U ::-voIves g.wrz
the defenders a tr.ck so thai thy
must lead back what you wish, t.-.:
very use of it would defeat a
^rand slam contract at once S'.;t
many a small slam would be im
possible without use of this de
vice. especially when a finesse or
finesses may be marked as prob
ably destined to foil.

South could count up only eleven
tricks unless the heart J could
win or one of the minor finesses
would work. So he played the
heart J and East covered with the
the K winning. Then came
t seven spade tricks and the >.<\.rt

West discasded so that he ha ! to

realised West was holding; 0:1 to
his minor suit cards, four of
j them.
There would have been ro point
in West's doing this, the declarer
figured, ur.le.«s he was trying' to
j guard an honor in each of the
! minor suits. If the declarer had
, now finessed one of those suits.
West would have won. could have
returned the suit, and there would
t have been :» loser then in the other
j suit. But he didn't do that. He
played to the club A. then led the
club Q to the marked K in West's
hand. The latter had nothing' tw
return but a diamond, so the A
and Q of that suit took the last
two tricks.

Me at Is No Villain In
the Diet Story
By LOGAN CLENDENING, M. D.
• We were al! startled a few years
ago when the famous explorer Mr.
VHhjaim ur Stefansson told the
acientific world that he had lived
in the Arctic for nine years on ar.
exclusively meat diet ar.d that at
the end of that Lime hi.-, health wa.<
unimpaired, hi LI od pressure not
Raised, and that there was no evi
dence of injury to his kidneys,
rtain New \ork professors of
■ Dr. Clendening will answer

only, and then only through
his column.
medicine refused to credit this,
said it was due to the climatic con
ditions under which the experi
ment was carried out, so Mr. Stef
s ansson agreed to put himself in
i their hands and stay in New York
on an exclusively meat diet, whicr.
he did for two years, and the pro
fessors were honest enough to re
port that his original contentions
•were perfectly true.
Contains Proteins
These and other experiments
have made al! doctors feel that
meat is not the base villain it was
proclaimed to be, and that it could
i not only be admitted to the diet
| safely but even contributed some
• benefits.
Meat has been found to be of
importance in the diet of young
and old because of its rich store
of adequate proteins. While pro
teins are contained in many foods,
not all proteins are alike, nor do
they have the same nutritional
value.
Proteins build and repair body
tissue. Adequate proteins are re
quired for the maintenance of
muscular tissue in a.' tlts. Chil
dren, because of the a ''ed need
of proteins for growth, require
more in proportion to body v./ght
than grown-ups.
Proteins are complex sub- !
stances, made up of a number 1
of individual units technically 1
known as timino aci'ls, the ''build
ing blocks" of the body. ^About j
thirty such amino acids have heeii :
identified. The work of nutritional )
chemists has shown that ten of j
these thirty cannot be made in
the body, or at least not in a*
great quantities as the body re
quires. These ten can be obtained
only by eating the protein foods
in which they are present. With- :
ouc enough of these ten essential
amino acids, growth is retarded
and a state of poor nutrition will
develop. The proteins which sup
ply them are known as adequate
proteins.
j
Easily Assimilated
The proteins of meat supply •
li'e< r;.l amounts of nil. amln > acids
needed. Thus they are cowitleicly
udxiuate proteins. Meat is easily
digested, and its amino acids are
promptly used by the body for
growth, for the repair of the
everyday wear and tear of tissu-a,
and for the formation of impor- i
tant gland secretions. i
These quite incontrovertible !
facts are the basis for the state
ment I made that meat even has ,
some advantages in the diet. Vege- |
tarians it is true get these ade- i
quate proteins from milk and J
e;rgs (if they are not total vege- j
tarians) or from peas, beans and |
nuts, but not as economically I
from the standpoint of body nutri- 1
tion or as certainly as from meat.
