They claim that it is lust as easy to make one heart if they bold five hearts to the king, queen or jack and one or more outside tricks as it is with five hearts to aw are king ami no outride tricks. TUs statement is correct but the reason such suits arc not bid is because it fc impossible to give exact information topirtner. The beat theory of Auction baking is to give exact ioformxtio a whoever possible. For that reason, all faidrtktt may have a double meaning have been eliminated. To bid one. heart as deafer with a hand that Clubs a—A, to, 6 Spades — K, *>, 4 Is to make partaer guess as io 'the strength of the band. There is not a sure trick ia hearts and there is no way for him to pMssin what suits the tricks reajly are. Guaaws, no matter how brilliant, carnet cope with cold, hard facta. Make yoar origianl bids mean some thing definite to your partner for he must know tha truth about your card* if the partnesddp is to be tuccesaful. Don't make erigiaal bids without the high cards in the aujt bid. Otherwise your partner ii suit your bid think- " » Hearts — 3 ing you have the hich cards of your suit and then you may be doubled and lose a big penalty. Or your opponents may bid up to a point where your partner doubles with the assurance that your first bid was sound. If it was not, then you are in trouble and you cannot blame your partner. fo When you play Auction, you are bidding lor the privilege of playing the hand. All the conventions are based on common senee. Do not make a bid that you cannot bock up, either as an offensive or defensive proposition. These requirements for original bids are particularly important on-.close hands where one ri<ie ran make four hearts and the other side four s|*ule*. By giving exact ufonndwfi fo-your partner every time you bid, you enable him to determine before the kand is plavrd just about how many trick* you and your oppooents can make ana he can bid or doable accordingly. If one side figures that their adver saries can make four spades it is much to their advantage to bkl five hearts, if by so doing they will not U>*c tl»e con tract by more than a trick or no. Their opponents may also nuke the mistake of bidding five spades. This is possible only when the bidding ia aound and gives exact information. Never make your partner guess if you can help it for be is more apt to guess wrong than right. The following hand is a good example: £-Q. 4.2 ■S.M Club. —K, Dtaaoi Spatfc, Hrarti— A, 1.7,6.) a uu—10,9.4,* DiuxMd. — A.9.J.J Spodss — None set,as Di.MI.rli—J.l S3S^mL , 9,S.4.S Z dealt sol bid one spade and A bid two hearts..A-B bid their hand to four hearts and when overbid by Y-Z with lour sou dm, correctly bi<l fix fte.ru, were doubled and ooly kut 100 point..

ARTIFICIAL FEEDING While it-i» advisable to keep the baby under the supervision of a pHJrai- tian at all time*, it is particularly im portant to do so at that stage when artificial feeding ia begun. A doctor is far more capable of selecting the proper food and instructing as to the torrect preparation of it than the mother. Remember that no single method of artificial feeding can pos- lihly he adaptable to all infants. In structions contained if) books and other literature must he regarded as general in nature. Such instructions and suggestions are suitable to the average baby, but are not intended to suit the needs and requirements of every individual case. Milk, of course, should be the prin cipal food during the years of devel opment The greatest of care should be used in selecting the milk so that there will be absolutely no question as to its purity and cleanliness. If pos sible, visit your local dairy and satisfy yourself that all sanitary laws are en forced. If this is not possible or con venient. your local Health Department will be glad to supply you with all such information. In feeding milk to an Infant, it should be properly diluted with plain boiled water and the necessary sugar added. If condensed milk is used, it is unnecessary to add any additional sugar, inasmuch as the sugar is already thoroaghly blended with the'milk. At about the third month, a cereal water may be used to dilute the milk, in place of the plain water. Cereals and flours containing the outside of the grain—such as oatnxal, barky, whole wheat, unpolished rice—are more nourishing than the refined ce reals and flours because they contain special growth promoting factors, called vitamins. They also act as a laxative. Cerekls must be cooked for th*e hours in a doable boiler, or in a firefess cooker. This thorough cook ing makes the starch more digestible. As the infant grows older, the' im portance of milk m the diet must not be forgotten.

CINCINNATI—An extraordinary story of an egg-laym* female pig eon that was completely changed Into a male through a tuberculosis Infection was told today to American Society of Zoologists by Dr. Oscar Riddle, of th* research staff o! the Carnes*» station ter experimental evolution, at Cold Springs Harbor. Long Island. New York. Dr. Riddle* declared that investi gations carried on during several yeasr have proved that sex can be changed in the earliest or t|i( stsge of the pigeon, hut that a re versal of sex in a full-grown bird or animal Is sn exceedingly rare occurence. He concluded from the result of the experiment with the dove In the case depleted that "It becomes wholly probsble that all herldltary characteristics of every human be Ing and of every organism an capable of reversal and modifica tion. and that the acfcomplfshmint of this merely awaits the defi nitely directed efforts of Investiga tors In this branch df science.** The bird concerned In thf *»cry told by Dr. Riddle was a female blond ring dove, like thousind* of others studied, ffte was laying period and then laying ceased Later the bird sumed the sex bebavfo- of \ male dove.

Dr, S.vlvanus Morris, dean of the Lumpkin Jmw School and one of the best historians of Georgia, re futes the statement made recently by Frank T. Reynolds of Atlanta that the first cotton v facory In Georgia dras built near Washington In 1844. Dr. Morris calls nJtentlbn to the fact that the Georgia Manufactur ing company, now the Georgia Factory at Whitehall, this county, Was the first cotton factory In Georgia and in connection with the building of the mil! has the following to say: "The 22nd December 1923 edition of the Atlanta Constitution attri buted to Frank T.

We are either advancing or going backward. We cannot stand still. Our lives are like a spiral; we are either widening oUr circle of usefulness or we are going in the opposite direction, apd narrowing it by following the ways of evil and allowing our senses,tt» be deadened to the better things. We are subjected daily and hourly by influences which retard and impede our progress. Thoughts and suggestions are heaped upon us which eat away our very character.

The Point of Contact There’s a simple catch in the familiar phrase that tells how the world beats a patk^to the door of the man who makes a better mouse-trap. The maker of ANYTHING, if he is to win the plaudits of the world, must not only manufacture a superior product, but must also let folks know of his achievements. He must point out just why his mouse-trap, his automobile or his shaving cream is better than his neighbor’s. He must ADVERTISE. THU? Advertising is the point of contact between the man who makes something and the man who wants something.
