"Acaba,’
New English Wrin
By OSWALD JACOBY
A WEIRD new canasta idea has just been developed in England. They call it “Acaba.” :
At any time during a hand, when it is your turn to play, you may say ‘“Acaba”—according to this new English custom.
That ends the hand immediately.
The cards are mixed without
any counting at all, and the opponents get 1500 points for the
hand. No more and no less. Yo One further wrinkle: At your for permission to say ‘“Acaba.” for permission to meld out.
ur side gets nothing at all. turn you may ask your partner This. operates just like asking
Let me make it clear right from the beginning that there is nothing legal Or official about this strange English practice. However, I find it rather interesting—and I am sure canasta players will want to try it out once or twice.

X-Rays Help ‘To Rid Warts
. Various Causes . Are Outlined | . By EDWIN P. JORDAN, M. D. | © IT DOESN'T take a doctor to | » diagnose a wart—an 8-year-old | : boy could do it just as well. But , warts, because they are so com- | + mon and because their behavior ‘ is so extraordinary have always + been, and are * now, a subject » which is fas- + cinating to dis- * cuss s» Four different kinds of ! warts are recsognized, * though it is “ possible that they all have the same «cause. In the * past there ’ have been many extraordinary ) guesses about the cause: Pun- « ‘ishment for some sin committed. contact with toads, liz- « ards or some other living organism. and many others. !

Sn far as I know there is no ' other condition known to medical science which can be go * successfully treated by so many . different methods. : Many warts yield to various * medicines given by mouth or % injection. They go away after « any one of a large number of * local applications, after X-ray, , after burning with an electric ¢« neadle. * This does not mean that all warts should be neglected and ignored. At any rate, with all the treatments available, those who have troublesome warts can almost always count on getting rid of them if they want to.

We, the Women—
Husbands and Wives Should Encourage One Another
By RUTH MILLETT ONE important, but often overlooked, duty of husbands and wives is to encourage each other to de-
velop their talents and tackle the jobs they are afraid of. A wife recently confided that she was encouraging her husband to accept invitations as a speaker because he had a Re
more than normal dread and
audience, even though his specialized knowledge made him in demand as a speaker. “Jim,” she said, “told me he was never going to make another talk. He dreaded it too much and suffered such agony until it was over. But I hated to have him say to ‘Here's something that
himself: licked’ and so I urged him to
opposite.

THE INDIANA
IT HAS ‘a curious effect on ‘the game. When you pick up a really big discard pile, you tend to meld out at once if you can score substantially more than 1500 points. Otherwise the next player will end the fun by saying “Acaba.” . Suppose the pile is born frozen and just stays that way for round after round. It mounts up and up, each player discarding carefully, until it contains several natural canastas. Finally, you reach a point where you have to make a dangerous discard. y This is a familiar situation, of course, and in an ordinary game you just cross your fingers and make your discard. Not so if you are using the Acaba feature. Maybe you should say “Acaba” and give away 1500 points to the enemy. If you don't, the next player may grab the pile, score 3000 points and meld right out. .
" o 8 s a o BUT you feel like a prize fool if you say ‘“Acaba” and then discover that your discard would have been safe.

I know he can conquer his fear and I think it would be very bad for him to let Ruth Millett the fear conquer him.” ~~ Most men and women are in one way.or another ‘timid souls” who are often tempted to dodge the thing they fear om to do. Yet every time we dodge a hard job we shrink in size just 5 9-F¢ a little. And every time we tackle a hard job and see it pom : through, we grow a little. If a husband and wife are really to help each other grow they can do so by encouraging each other to face up to the dp hard jobs, to do the things they fear to do. : Couples who don't do that for each other often don't go as far or get as much out of living as those who do.
