Many are familiar with this kind of necessity. especially in these days when a great many people are doing their own washing for rea- sons of economy. Business persons who live in restricted quarters resort to many expedients for doing laundry work. Even the if main items of the ward- robe are given expert attention by cleaners and laundries there are pieces ' which are laundered at home. To these people, as well a5 to the housewife with full laundry equipment who selects cer- tain small and fragile pieces for hand washing In a basin, is the article of to- day direcjed. A chante ’"S‘Q‘{a,‘,“" on the part of & woman doing in laundry work near the kitchen sink was responsible for & discovery.

Now, if the responding hand has' two aces, he must convey this informa- | tion by a raise in no trumps. If he had | » zecond biddable suit headed by the " ace, snother jump bid (in that suit) would convey the same information. Opening bidder, hol only one ace, could now continue the slam bidding on learning that his partner had two aces, assuming that he himself had originally bid s sound no-trumper, with proper vaiues in the primary form of kings| and king-queens. The process of elimi- | nating losers, the sole safe road to slam | contracts, could then be resumed. Telegraph and Telephene. Comparisons between auction and! contract bidding always call to my| mind these two methods of conmuni-| cation. In auction we had to deal in! probabilities, and, as our first bid was likely to be our last, we had to convey every possible bit of information in it and include every kind of assumption. | Similarly, in a telegram we ask all our| questions or present all our arguments or_instructions in one message. In contract, however, we are priv-| ileged to conduct a telephone conver- sation with a partner. To attempt to . by “giving at once the full number of raises in the hand,” without allowing him to participate in the talk, is like | monopolizing the 3 minutes "with | monologue, and then being surprised if | we are cut off. the telling having been on the other side. Nevertheless, as you read this, many tens of thousands of eople in the world are thus misusing the facilities provided for them, both at the bridge tables and in the tele; p‘hone booths of our Western civiliza- tion. (Copsright. 1933.) Mr. Sims will answer all inquiries on contract that are addreased to this Bews- | paper with self-addressed, stamped enve- ber end it was constructed to create suction. Could not this suction be em- ployed in clothes washing as well? Cer- tainly it could, and has since been em- ployed constantly in this household mentioned for the washing of napkins, stockings, socks and silk underthings. The wash basin can be an old-fash- ioned bowl from a wash-stand set. an ordinary hand basin or any wide bowl of sufficient depth to hold the articles. Or it can be the bowl in the bath room. | One point in favor of the former is that the stopper will not be loosened by the suction of the plunger. However, by avoiding the exact center of the wash | bowl the stopper will not loosen and | drain off any of the suds. These small plungers can be bought sometimes for 10 cents. So without bothering to pack one when going on & vacation it is possible to get one at the | destination. The washing of small| things can be done easily in one’s room and dried on a stretched piece of cord | positioned where the air from an open | window will blow on the wash hung on it. Or perhaps one is so fortunate as | to have a traveler's clothes line and These miniature ap- | pointments are very handy. A set can be made with a length of heavy twisted | twine about 2}; to 3 yards long and a | dozen wee clothes pins such as come for children’s toys. With these and a | plunger one has utensils to make tour- ists’ laundering simple. (Copyright. 1933.) Everyday Psychology BY DR. JESSE W. SPROWLS. Some Facts. 1.

The Old Gardenmer Says: Brussels sprouts are miniature cabbages with & delicious flavor. ‘They grow up and down a long stalk, and produce abundantly in rich soil with plenty of molsture. - The seedlings are easily transplanted, but a long season is required to mature Brussels sprouts, although they are usually ready for the table by the first of September. By that time the leaves have grown iong. and the garden maker will be wise to break off those near the bottom of the plant. always leaving a rosette at the top. Brussels sprouts are hardy enough to stand cold weather, and can be taken into the cellar, root and all, if any remain when the ground begins to freeze. Then the crop can be carried well into the Winter. The grow- ing .of Brussels sprouts should never be undertaken, however, by amateurs who are not willing to give them good care. Bulletin | NATIONAL study of J, home washday proves that the average woman spends at least $1.26 every week just for soap, bluing, gas, electricity, starch, clothesline, etc. This same amount of money would buy you laundry service—every- thing washed and all flat pieces ironed—and save you a lot of work.

HE moose is far more approach- able in the water than when he is striding majestically through the forest. Not that he is intentlonally gentle, he is Among the deer, the moose is the giant and is “full of strength and pt " as he swings | through the vast forest, crashing the saplings in his way. ‘The common moose is now numerous in New -Brunswick, Maine and Lowr Canada. His brother, living in Alaska, has larger antlers. The cougar is the most dreaded enemy, the bear and the timber wolf are ever lurking near, and man, with his gun, is the most danger- ous of all. One would not think of the moose or his mate as being handsome. Of the two, the moose is less sad and gaunt looking. His front legs are con- siderably longer than his hind ones, ac- counting for his ungainly gait. Strength enables him to stride over the fallen trees he finds in his path, and to get away from his enemies with speed. His overhanging, square nose, large ears and hump on his shoulders do not add | to his beauty and the long bell under his lip appears to be decorative only. In the early Spring. when every blade of grass is tender, the moose, though| a browsing animal, gets slowly to his He has been seen to do this in the Winter in order to get a mouthful of snow. In the marshy lakes and ponds, much time is spent eating lily peds, and he will duck his head under the water to get & lily root, a delicacy the moose family is especially fond of. As many hunters have found out, moose are powerful swimmers. 5 In September the moose seek their mates. Terrible quarrels and battles are fought for the maiden’s favor. You can hear the crash for a mile and bel- lows of rage for three. When one sends his message over the air, the moose maiden sounds a gentle |nd| plaintive reply. It is claimed that the call of the bull can be imitated by the | use of a birch-bark horn and the cow will answer. Of course, this imitation takes time. In May ‘here are twins. occasionally) triplets. They are leggy creatures, covered with reddish-brown hair. They do not remain helpless long, but stay with their parents until their second irthday. During the Winter the moose herd select a “yard” which offers protection , from great snow drifts and has good browsing grounds. Zoological gardens do not agree with | them, Five or six years is about as long as they remain in good health. | They succumb to a stomach and in- testinal trouble, in spite of the best food obtainable being fed to them. In cap- tivity they are docile and have been trained to run in harness. (Copyright. 1933.) My Neighbor Says: | | I Piquant dressing can be served ( on sliced tomatoes or tuce salads.

If she is dolled up in inappropriate finery it shows she lacks jjg ment in spending money. If she is dressed far beyond her means it ‘l sure indication that she is s waster and a spender and that her hu .nd will spend the balance of his life slaving to pay her bills at the specialty stores. 1f you want to know whether a girl is sweet and amiable and pieas- ant to live with. observe her in her own home and in 1elation to her family. It she is just as pleasant at home as she is abroad: if she is mother's little helper and if she pets and follies father, and if her younger brothers and sisters adore her, she will make the kind of wife who keeps a husband thankful. UT if a girl takes the best of everything; if she wears Paris frocks while the balance of the family are shabby: if she uses the car while the others walk: if she carrects mother's grammar and won't let father come in the living room in his house slippers, and if little brother and sister scuttle to safety when she comes around, be sure she is mean and tyrannical and selfish, and she will make one of the gimme-gimme-gimme wives who have no use for a husband except as a cash register. It you want to know whether a girl will make a wife who will stand by you through thick and thin or merely be a fair-weather wife, watch her play games. Observe her sportsmanship. If she is unduly elated when she wins or too much cast down when she loses: if she cheats; if she throws down her hand and quits when the cards run against her, beware. She will make one of the wives who go back to mother when & husband loses his job, or who find out that their real affinities are men with more money than the men to whom they are married. F YOU want to know whether'a woman will make a wife who will be & real pal and companion to you, find out how much intelligence she has. Find out if you have anything to say to her after you quit telling her how much you love her and what wonderful eyes she has. Ascertain how much brain she has under her permanent wave. Pind out what things you have in common. Dullness, lack of culture, uncongeniality are defects that no woman can hide. So if a man marries & woman who bores him to tears it is his own error. Pinally, if you want to know whether a girl will make a reasonable wife, who will take the ups and downs of matrimony on the chin instead of howling and whining over them, observe how much common sense she.has and how keen a sense of humor. And if she has these virtues the balance do not greatly matter. DOROTHY DIX. ‘The girl chum says no government would have budget troubles if it could only levy taxes on castles in the air.
