This was bad enough for North- Soulvh. but in view of the five- spads contract that would have been ironclad, the result was truly catastrophic.

The fault for landing at the wrong contract was largely Norths, though South's conduct was not spotless. North's rescue of the doubled four-spade bld wn inex- cusable. He had already warned South, by bidding two clubs direct- ly over the double of one spade, that he could not stand I. spade contract; when South, in the face of that warning, went to four spades by himself, it was not up to North to "take charge."

While blaming North. however. it must be said that south was unwise even to mention his din- mond suit until he had rebfd his spades to the level of game. True, South's six-card diamond suit was not to be regarded lightly. but his spade suit. which would cut- rank the opponents' hearts at the same level, was so long and strong that it needed no support from North, Moreover, by rebladmg

For Tomorrow

USE your originality, skill and detenmlnation in going aftrr ths things you want. Conscientious ef- forts should help you to achieve your goals and. in business mat- ters, the aspects are fine for con- summatlng profitable deals. Be careful in signing papers and docu- ments. however.

Where household affairs are con- cerned. concentrate on taking care of unfinished tasks before stamps: on newrprojects and sort out and eliminate possasions for which you no longer have use. Spend your lei- sure hours in restful relaxation rather than in rushing around.

hr the Birthday

If tomorrow is your birthday, you should find the period ahead . propitious one in which to under- take enterprises requirlng courage. energy or initiative. You may be faced with the necessity of cum- ing some extra money during April

because of unforeseen expense, but you can solve this proplem by yak. mg on some additional work. Do not be pessimistic about the situ- ation for the opportunity you need will be offered to you.

"And where will you let the bird go?" we asked him of the sparrow, our company awhile before it was taken to school to be studied. "Will you give it it's freedom once the lesson is over?" Jamie considered the question a moment.

"No, I don't. think I shall. I'll bring him home . . . he'd be too lonesome away from the rest of the flock."

AGING AND HEALTH OF MEN IN AMERICA

While labor men and labor unions are quite properly working on age limit, about age of 55, at which men and women should retire with an adequate pension. there are other conditions in the life of tho .a.ging that'are receiving the atten- tion of general physicians and particularly those physicians who are studying the aging process in men and women of 65 years and over with the view of helping them to pass through this phase in the life span without pain and dis- ability and continue to keep rea- sonably well and happy. These specialists in treating the aged and aging are called gerlatriclsns and the science of studying the aging process is called gerontology.

What makes the study of geron- tology of real interest is that peo- ple age differently. We have all seen men and women in their sev- enties who are as strong and well physically and mentally as others in their fifties and sixties.

In an editorial in the medical journal. Geriatrics. devoted to the treatment of the aged and aging. Dr. Ancel Keys states: "A basic hope for progress and e. constant incentive for research in geriatrics spring from the fact that people age differently." This means that it is the way people meet or greet the aglng,process that makes a difference to their health and happlnes.

We are not all built alike men- tally and emotionally. aside from our physical health. Thus Dr. Keys states further that the usceptlblllty or resistance to aging of a popula- tlon is not very usefully measured either in terms or numbers of cen- tenarlans (100 years of age or over) or of the years of life from birth The life span is muinly dependent on the death rate in Children while the attainment of real old age in man involves many questions in gathering facts and in the social or community life of the indivi- dual.

Measuring the death rate among adults in America. the picture is overwhelmingly dominated by age- related causes of disability and death so that the aging suscepti- bility of the population in regard to "vital" tissues and organs is re- flected by its death rate, By this means we can measure fatal aging
