‘Bachelor’ Again Writes
To Uphold Preference For Girls 15 Years Old
Claim That Readers Are Urged to Emulate Prominent Persons Is Denied by Jane Jordan; Letter Berates Dog-Cuddlers.
We have had several letters from a “stern old bachelor of 35” who prefers 15-year-old girls to older girls. We have had letters of protest and I made the statement that he might not feel equal to older women. Here is another letter. 2 8 = & & §
EAR JANE JORDAN—You are unfair. You described something in my letter that you didn't want to#reveal; so you altered and eliminated until it was your letter you published and not mine. Your answer was in total discord to the sentiments of my letter. Sure you are not jealous of the young girls? Or why was it you put me on the spot? No wonder I prefer young girls. Do you think people with common sense will discard their principles of refinement, modesty and character because of what Edward VIII, Buddy Rogers or Mrs. Roosevelt does? It seems as though you expect us to emulate. “Perplexed” will be a fool to support a woman who prefers her cigarets to his respect and she will blow smoke in his eves for it, too. What you call prejudice I call refinement. I'll bet “Perplexed” doesn’t go for dog-cuddling either. I know women who call themselves “Mamma” to their mongrels and refuse to have a baby, but they bathe, kiss and cuddle a dog. You said nothing to offend the “Great Lover” but you made me a low caste, and to me he is just a bluff and a big piece of cheese and just what a lot of the older girls like. Come on now. Print this as I write it and answer as you please. Let's have some excitement. But you won't do it. STERN OLD BACHELOR. ANSWER—What makes vou think I won't publish your letter? I made no changes in your other letters except to condense them to fit the space and to leave out some words and phrases relating to the habits of dogs which were hardly in accord with the refinement you profess to admire.

Shakespeare with Jane Cowl. In spite of the silver-spoon-in-the-mouth early years, at 14 she was cracking the whip as pony girl with a circus and in need of the $8 a week the job brought.
When Edith was a kid her family kept thinking that the expensive physicians they hired could manage to straighten those cross eyes. Edith diligently practiced the exercises they prescribed because she knew that cross-eyed people were hoodoos in the show business, and she was going to be an actress. | The family said she would soon ‘get those dreamy notions out of | her head and would settle down | and marry one of the nice neigh- | bor boys who rode over to the palatial Van Cleve estate near Cleve-

A | surgeon, meanwhile, had fixed her | crossed eyes and our herione was ready to make the break. The break looked for a while as if it would be a serious one with her family. She sold her car to pay her | tuition in the American Academy of | Dramatic Arts and didn't bat an eye | when her allowance was cut off. |
Stuck It Out
| The family learned that the course | at the academy was the toughest of | its kind anywhere, and so they | finally consented to let Edith live | at home while she was finding out | that she didn’t want to go through | all that to be an actress after all. Edith fooled them by sticking it out. | When the course was completed | Bdith landed a Job with her idol, | Miss Cowl, and for three and a half years played everything and any- | thing they'd let her. Miss Cowl was talking about retiring, so her pro- | tege decided to strike out on her | own. For the next few years, until 1926, when the play called “Broadway” was a smash and Edith Van Cleve's | name because famous with it, things were just as they are today, with ambitious youngsters tramping around trying to get jobs.
Meets George Abbott,
In “Broadway” Edith met George Abbott, then a director, and became his devoted slave. He and George S. Kaufman are her heroes to this day, and you'd better not make a wise crack about either of them. “I've always been a hero worshipper,” Miss Van Cleve says. In the next breath she'll tell you quite matter-of-factly that she isn't in love with either man, nor any man for that matter. She's not antilove and she won't say she never has thought herself bitten by the love insect, but she will say she’s never going to marry, and there's no interesting or romantic reason why not. : “I'm just too busy,” she said, and listed these enterprises as recently having occupied her at one and the same time: Playing one part in the first act of “Boy Meets Girl” and another in the last act of “Three Men on a Horse.” Being assistant director to Tony Minor in producing “Excursion.” Being casting director for “Room Service” (most of the work being done at lunch hours).

Solution to Previous Problem By WILLIAM E. McKENNEY American Bridge League Secretary EFENSIVE play presents many difficulties. This is true because an opponent knows, only as each card is played or led, the exact strength or weakness of his fellow defender, while the declarer knows from the moment the dummy is exposed his every weak and strong point. In defense, however, certain situations are fundamental, and one of these confronted Jack Kushner of

Whatever the reason, it doesn't matter. Is John going to college? And are the sessions still open to family vote? If so, can anyone get in? And may I have the floor for a moment? I do not wish to inter fere, but there are a few wayside signs I would like to refer you to, as I have been along the road and gone through it all. My errors and successes may be of some service.
Consider Subjects Well
Large colleges and universities are excellent, but don't let the magic of name discourage you from looking into the smaller ones that may be nearer, less expensive, and more suited to your finances. And don't let the name “denominational” school influence you against it. Most of these are indeed splendid, and are not “goody-goody,” but earnest, high-class places. X Make at least a rough outline of subjects to be studied with some direction toward a definite end. If you merely look for general culture, then subjects may be elected almost at random. but even so, one “major” may be the all-important factor of later successes in the student’s life. Coeducational schools are good for some and not for others. If John has fooled his time away with girls in high school, and needs to get down to brass tacks now, think it over well. The same with Mary or Myrtle. By the same token, if they need more social life and the mixed influence of both girls and men, put

it within their reach. For the levelhead who can take it or leave it, that's fine. Any choice is right.
Working Way Depends on Student
Shall John work his way through This depends. Not if he is gh strong, or is carrying a heavy load of classes. He needs plenty of sleep and can't work and study, too. But if he is able—yes.
If possible, get into the car, go and see a few of these schools and talk to the dean. Never buy a pig in a poke. And if you fear a tooradical school, that quarrels with your democratic ideas, why make yourself uneasy? You have a right to have some say-so in your child's future convictions. It is your money after all, and John is your son. ;

The bidding was good on both sides. South's hand, held by Kushner, was a minimum. West's double was sound and North's effort to shut out East by his jump raise, was fine. However, the defense, having failed to prevent their opponents from contracting for game, faced the difficult task of defeating the contract, and most of the burden was on Kushner,
When his opening lead held the first trick, he took careful stock of the dummy in combination with his own cards. His singly guarded club king was useless, unless North held the queen. His one chance, he reasoned, to defeat the contract, lay with that possible distribution.
As his second lead he laid down the club king. This was won by the ace in dummy, and a trump was led. North, however, now co-op-erated in the defense by running up with the ace of spades and cashing the club queen.
Then he led a small club, which Kushner ruffed. Good defense had won a deserved victory. (Copyright, 1937, NEA Service, Ine.)
Silver Shines in Frequent Use
Don't hoard your silverware if you want to keep it shining. Silver is not only unharmed by frequent use but it seems actually to improve. This is especially true of flat ware. If you wash it in hot soapsuds and scald it after each meal, it will be a long time before tarnish appears. When cleaning is necessary, use the galvanic process. This is the quickest way to remove tarnish from large quantities of silver becauseeit eliminates handling of each piece separately. You will need a large container and an old piece of aluminum kitchenware that you don't mind having turn black. Place the aluminum in the container, pour in a quantity of boiling water, and add two teaspoons of washing powder for each quart of water. Arrange the silver in the pan so that each piece touches the aluminum or another piece in contact with it. Boil for a few minutes and the tarnish will fade as if by magic. When the last trace of tarnish is removed from the silver pour off the water, wash in fresh, hot soapsuds, rinse and polish dry.

Treatment of Inflamed Kidney Requires Data on
W
Patient’s Mode of Life .,
Individual Study of Rest, Diet and Other Factors Important, Doctor Says; Drugs and Surgery Are Used to Remove Excess Fluid From Body.
By DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor, American Medical Journal N the period between an acute inflammation of the kidneys and a gradual change to the chronic form, there may be an intermediary condition which is sometimes described as a nephrosis. Symptoms associated with this form of inflammation of the kidneys are that it is of rather longer standing, there is a little more collection of fluid in the tissues, and there is a tendency toward anemia, indicating that the red coloring matter of the blood and the total number of red » blood cells have been decreased. Usually the heart and blood vese sels are not greatly involved in the earlier stages, but later the blood pressure may rise.
The urine in this form of kide ney disease is usually decreased in amount. The amount of ale bumin is considerable and when the urine is centrifugated and the solid material examined under a microscope, it is found to consist largely of material from the kid« ney tissue.
Freckles Cute, Not Disfiguring, Writer Asserts
By ALICIA HART NEA Service Staff Writer This is the time of year when a beauty editor's desk is covered with letters from readers who are worried about freckles. “How can I prevent freckles? What can I do to get rid of those I have now? Are freckle removers safe to use. Do you recommend a bleach?” So the questions go. And the only honest answer which can be given is none too satisfactory to one who really dislikes the tiny brown flecks. Because, after all,
Uremia May Develop
Functions of the kidneys as tested by the various functional methods may still indicate a reasonable amount of perform ance. However, unless something definite is done to aid these patients, the function will consiste
ently decrease until it becomes serious. In fact, the eventual result is suppression of the function of the kidney with the appearance of
the only sure way to keep from freckling is to stay out of the sun. With suntan lotions and oils, a girl can ward off the majority of
the little flecks, but she cannot prevent all of them,
The best procedure is to cover arms, face, neck and shoulders with your favorite suntan lotion before exposure to the sun, then replenish it after each dip in the water or whenever you notice that the excess has heen absorbed. Wear a hat when golfing, hiking or yachting. However, in spite of all your efforts, if you have a tendency to freckle, you will freckle, and that's all there is to it.
Therefore, why not be a little philosophical about the matter? The tiny brown spots will disappear in the fall or as soon as you stop taking sunbaths. And, during the months your freckles show, you might remind yourself now and then that practically nobody else thinks them as unattractive as you do. As a matter of fact, instead of being ugly, the average freckled nose is pretty cute. Don't, in desperation, use a strong acid bleach to remove freckles. Anything strong enough to remove them is too strong for your skin. In the fall, after vacation days are over, use a mild lemon juice bleach, if you like, and figure out how to apply makeup to make the spots less conspicuous.
uremia,
In this form of nephritis, again, the patient requires a most care= ful and complete examination so that every possible focus of in=fection may be removed if any are found.
To aid the patient in overcoms ing this condition he should be required to rest in bed. As much rest as possible must also be given to the kidney by cutting down the total amount of fluid and salt that the patient takes ine to his body.
Protein Major Factor
In order to regulate these satise factorily, it is necessary that the physician study the entire diet, concerning himself with the total amount of protein.
It should be obvious, then, that every patient with an inflame mation of the kidney requires in dividual study and regulation of his diet, his rest, the total amount of fluids taken and every other factor of his life in accordance with the conditions found.
Certain drugs are known which have a special value in causing the body to rid itself of excess fluid. Sometimes it is necessary to resort to drugs of this type. In other instances the fluid may be removed from the abdominal
cavity or even from the lungs by
