COMMUNICATED
itor Of Milford Chronicle,

Editor of Milford Chronicle,
Gentlemen
In your issue of November the
20th inst, mention was made in
reference to the death and burial of
John Curry, formerly of Milford,
Del.
The fact of the matter is this:
That John Curry was admitted to
the Kent County Home sick and un-
able to care for himself and was put
to bed and a doctor called in who
pronounced him to be in a dying
condition and died on the seventh
day after his admittance, he never
leaving his bed.
John Curry was brought to the
Kent County Home by his relatives
and it is customary for them to no
tify the Superintendent as to the
disposition of the remains and if no
request is made they are buried in
the burying grounds Of the Home.
The surprising part of the case is
that his son knowing his condition
never inquired nor came to the
Home to see his father nor left any
instructions whatever at the time his
father was admitted to the home and
he not coming back until the middle
of November to inquire after him,
he knowing that he was in a dying
condition when he was brought to
the home; and then at this late date
he to censor the superintendent.
We, the Board of Trustees, exon
crate the Superintendent Of all
blame in this affair.

AMERICAN FARM HOMES
TO BE DISSECTED FOR
IMPROVEMENT STUDY
How To Bring Urban Convent
ences To Rural Home To Be
Subject Of Conference,

When labor saving devices were
first designed the needs of the rural
home were not considered. Santa
ton has nearly always considered
the city first Heating, plumbing
lighting and housekeeping facilities
have heretofore been designed with
the city user pictured as the main
sales prospect. So also the work OF
most of our architects has been
largely confined to the design OF
homes for the man in town.
kThis concentration upon the urban
dweller has brought about neglect
of the farm home. How to over
come this resulting backwardness
and bring to the rural home the con-
veniences of the average city home
owner will be the subject of a meet
ing of the Better Farm Homes Con-
ference to be held in the Hotel
Sherman, Chicago, February Is and
19, 1926.
The object of this conference will
be a general dissection of rural
home conditions and discussion of
ways and means of bringing more
architects into the rural building
field, thus insuring more comfort
able, better planned homes. Labor
saving devices for lessening the
work of the woman on the farm will
be studied and changes necessary
to adapt them to the farm recon-
mended.
This conference is the Outgrowth
of years of effort on the part Of the
Division of Farm Structures of the
American Society Of Agricultural
Engineers of which F. A. Writ of
Racine, Wis, is president and Pro-
fessor D. G. Carter Of the University
of Arkansas, chairman of the Divis-
ion of Farm Structures.

VIM. Draper Brinckloe, of Easton,
Md, one of Americas most prOmi-
nent architects and himself a far
mer will attend the conference and
will present the results of his years
of study in planning better farm
homes.
Another subject which will be
QlSGuSS6u dL Tic ulSGlllAS WILL DGs
What the farm woman wants her
rural home to be. The point of
view of the woman on the farm will
be presented by a prominent farm
woman.
1t is stated that more than 60 or
ganizations are behind this move
ment which is heralded as the great
est forward advance in farm living
conditions yet made. The Architects
Small House Service Bureau, the
Sears Roebuck Agricultural Founda-
ton, the U. S. Department of Agri-
culture, American Federation of
Woman's Clubs, and the American
Public Health Association are only
a few of the many associations
which will take part in the confer
ence.
For the benefit of the hundreds of
thousands of interested rural folk
who will be unable to attend the
the banquet program
and many of the discussions occur
ring in the meetings will be broad
cast over the radio. 1t is stated that
the conference hopes to make the
meeting an annual gathering to pro-
mote the general betterment of con-
ditions on Americas farms.

ably make and thus score game and

hand, he would probably not be able to
no-trump bid. If he did bid three of a

to get and, therefore, give w just that
much better chance to save game. If B
passed, z also would undoubtedly pass
and A would be bluffed from further
bidding. It was a bold bid and well
thought out. B happened to have a
good hand, however, so bid three hearts
and all passed. The hands Of all four

In a preceding article it was sug-

ones game was to put the expert ''un-

carefully examine and analyze his meth
DDS of bidding and play. The following
hand is fine example of how the expert
handled a difficult but not unusual stu
alton. It was rubber game and w were

expert, held the following hand:

Clubs-8, 6, 8

Spades 10, 8, 4,3
It was hand with which practically
every player, expert or otherwise, would
have passed with the thought, "Well,
here goes game and rubber" but not so

In the play of the hand, 2 opened the
queen of diamonds and he and his
partner made FIVE tricks, two hearts,
two diamonds and one spade trick. On
the next hand, w made game and
rubber so Y's courage and daring re-
ceived proper reward.
The expert is continually striving to
improve his game. One of the best ways
to accomplish this result is by eliminat-
ing chance whenever possible. In the
old days if your partner bid one no

Just as much to the expert as high cards.
If his partner bids no-trump, he now
considers his hand not only for high
cards but also for distribution. If his
hand contains a singleton or void suit,
experience has shown that suit bid
produces much better results than the
no-trump. For example, take the follow

with hand distributed 6-4-2-1, a suit
bid always produced better results. He,
therefore, bid two clubs and made FIVE

bidding and of a sound take out of part
