SUMMERTIME
By D. C. PEATTIE.

The mock-orange or "syringa" brings
to mind, for most adults, ! suppose,
June weddings of the more modest sort,
where mock-orange will do as well as
real orange blossoms-better, in fact, to
my mind. both in glory of blossoms
and penetrating sweetness of odor. But
there is another mental association with
mock-orange, and wonder how many
persons remember it beyond their child
hood days? To me at least it will
bring back, to the end of time, the end
Of school. and those expectant, whey,
drowsy days when all vacation time lay
closed. and the graduating children

on the air, mingled with the odor Of
fresh clipped grass and privet.
With adult years and the coming OF
a botanist's viewpoint of the species
that we call. enormously. some say,
"syringa," my admiration for this little
group Of plants is undiminished. I like
to think of our native syringaS, not
quite SO gorgeous as garden varieties,
but still very enchanting, blooming now
in their ferny. shady Businesses. There
are none in the fora of the District,
but they occur as near as Harpers
Ferry. And there are other species, in
the Rocky Mountains. the Alps. and the
Himalayas-a tribe of mountain forests,
and rainy! fragrant places. Our gar
den plant is generally the European
species.

BRIDGE TALKS
By mas. JOHN muNcE. yR.

Today we will discuss and illustrate
when second hand should bid solid
suit after no trump bid by dealer
and other second hand following bids.
Dealer bids one no trump and second
hand holds the following:
Spades. s-spot and s-spot.
Diamonds, king. queen, 7-spot and 6-spot.
Clubs, ace, king,' queen, Jack, S-spot and
6-spot.
This is an instance where second
hand would unhesitatingly bid clubs.
There is one missing suit and side
strength in diamonds, therefore second
hands. bid would be two clubs, after a
one no trump bid by dealer.
If dealer has bid O suit and second
hand has suit bid safely stopped once
tricks, he should bid no trump. For
instance, dealer bids one spade and
second hand holds the following:
Spades, king, s-spot and 5-spot
Hearts, king, queen and 57spot.
Diamonds. ace, king. 10-spot and 9-spot.
Clubs, ace, 7-spot and 5-spot.
You can see that the spades are
safely stopped once and there are four
other quick tricks, therefore second
has the suit bid by dealer stopped
twice and his hand is little bit bet
ter than the minimum requirements
for no trump, he may bid no trump.
If second hands holding does not
justify no trump bid under the above
principles, then he should bid his own
suit in accordance with the precepts
laid down in the discussion Of initial
bids.
Never bid q no trump second hand,
no matter how strong your hand, II
you have not the suit bid by dealer
safely stopped. To bid otherwise mis-
informs your partner. Again, I want to
impress upon you that bridge Is part
nership game and 1t Is very necessary
to consider your partner at all times.
Should you have the suit bid by dealer
stopped once and strength enough in
another suit for an initial bid, 1t Is
much better to bid the suit, especially
If it is a major suit, in preference to q
no trump. A doubtful no trump Is all
ways bad bargain. To Illustrate,
dealer bids one spade and second hand
holds the following:
Spades, ace. 9-spot and 7-spot.
Hearts, ace.
Diamonds. lo-spot. s-spot and 3-spot.
Clubs, ace, queen, jack, 9-spot, S-spot and
2-spot.
While this is a strengthening hand,
analysed 1t would never do to bid a
no trump over the spade bid by dealer,
so the proper bid Is two clubs.
This completes the discussion of sec
ond hand following bids for the pres
emit and our next talk will be on later
third hand bids.

the eight members of the House but
who will tell you that doing double
Cuty Is most harassing.
A Representative, no matter how
much he may dislike it, is faced with
certain social duties while in Washing
ton. II he Is man, then he usually
shifts the responsibility to his wife,
his daughter or his sister This leaves
HIM free to go about his job as states
man.
Not so with the women in Congress.
Any social duty that may be their lot
must be discharged by them. And
what a problem it is!
First of all, they cannot make en-
gagements for luncheon, for Congress
conveneS at noon. Neither are they free
at tea time, for the sessions usually run
well past this hour. Only recently one
or two had to send last regrets when
commanded" to one of Mrs. Hoover's
congressional tea parties because an
important roll call was impending.
There is nothing for them to do ex-
cept entertain or be entertained at din
ner. Most Of them compromise with
society in this manner.
But even this does not take care of
the calls they are expected to make.
And they must at least go through the
motions.
It is fortunate for them that in
WaShington's code Of etiquette, except
for dinner or luncheon calls, the send
L2g of cards is recognized as proper.
The three Ruths-Representatives
Ruth Hanna Mccormick. Ruth Bryan
owen and Ruth Baker Pratt-hit upon
this plan. They solved their problem
by together sending out an emissary to
leave their cards wherever calls from
woman Representatives were expected.
Mrs Pearl Peden Oldfield is the only
one of the group who has no social
duties to complicate matters for her.
The Arkansas Representative still is
in mourning for the death Of her hus-
band whom she succeeded.
But the three Ruths, with Represent
ativeS Florence P. Kahn, Edith NourSe
Rogers, Katherine Langley and Mary
7. Norton, have no escape.
OF these, and despite the fact she
is one Of the busiest of the group, Mrs.
Mccormick still finds time for one of
those well chosen dinner parties for
which Mark Hanna's daughter long has
been famous.
She has entertained once for the At
torney General and Mrs. William D.
Mitchell. At another time she was
hostess to the Secretary of Commerce
and Mrs Robert P. Lamont

WHY WE Do WHAT WE Do

an who spends all her time going
through the motions Of sewing leather
soles on an imaginary shoe. Her
fance, who was tragicaIly killed on the
eve OF their wedding, was cobbier.
The milder and more natural type
OF obsession Is illustrated by the queer
impulses we all have to do crazy things
We know to be foolish and the hum
ming of the same tune over and over
again, etc.
Excessive worry is another form OF
this mental trait and differs in degree
as other obsessions are likely to differ.
The habitual worrier is obsessed with
some fear idea which stays at the focus
of consciousness and makes him I'M
happy, He knows that the fear is I'M
founded and that 1t does absolutely no
good to worry. But he can no more
prevent it than he can prevent the
crazy tune from ringing in his head
over and over again. The harder he
tries to stop worrying the worse it is
because in this way he keeps the idea
persistently at the focus of conscious
ness where it should not be.
In so far as there is any remedy at
all 1t consists not in fighting the worry
but in distracting the mind, In get
ting interested in other things, by doing
something that will require so much
time and strength that there will be
none left for obsessive worry.

Don't worry" is poor advice. 1t is
more often given than taken. In fact,
it is never taken.
If a person can stop worrying he
doesn't need the advice. II he can't
stop, the advice is worse than useless.
It makes bad matters worse by impress
ing upon the worried person that he
needs to stop. And the fact that he
can't stop makes him that much more
uncomfortable and adds another thing
to worry about.
The worry that plays havoc with you
is the kind you can't shake. You know
1t Is foolish to worry, that Worry
never was worth while" and all the
rest of the platitudes concerning worry.
First of all you need to know the
true nature of your mental condition
when you are having a worry that
stays with you and will not be ousted.
Such worries are decidedly obsessions
and must be regarded and dealt with
as such.
An obsession is descriptive of state
of mind in which the person is maroon
ed on a single idea. Obsessions may
be temporary or permanent. When per-
manent the individual is taken to an
insane asylum, where he spends the
remainder of his natural life thinking
only on one subject or going through
the same routine act over and over
again. This is illustrated by the wom-

A WASHINGTON DAYBOOK
BY HERBERT PLUMMER.

A slim, blue-eyed Yankee OF feet
! has the distinction Of being America s
only flying United States Senator.
He is Senator Hiram Bingham Of
Connecticut, often referred to by his
colleagues as "the human flea" because
Of the fact that he Is continually hop
ping from one place to the other.
He is an air enthusiast CT the first
rank. {. He was AZ years old when he
just entered the World War. AL
though Senator Bingham was beyond
the acceptable age for war pilots, he
went to Miami and soon qualifled as a
military aviator.
He was commissioned a major and
placed in charge of the United States
schools of military aeronautics.
Late in 1917 Senator Bingham was
made lieutenant colonel and came to
Washington to act as chief of the dir
personnel division. But he was not
content to stay at home.
At his own request he was sent to
France and located Tours. At one
time he was in command of this coun-
try's largest aviation instruction center
In France, at Issoudun.
When the war was over he sat down
and wrote book, IAN Explorer in the
Air Service" in which he recount3i his
experiences as wartime flyer.
At present he Is president Of the
National Aeronautic Association
1t is only natural that Senator Bling
ham should be interested in aviation.
The greater part of his life he has been
wanderer. He is the son of missionary
parents who left New England for the
Hawaiian Islands, and he was born in
Honolulu
Primarily Hiram Bingham is a COL
lege professor. He holds the degree of
doctor Of philosophy from Harvard,
and has been a member of the faculty
at that institution as well as at Yale
and Princeton.
But he Is much more than q college
professor. He is an explorer If parts,
high authority on South and latin
America in general. No little fame is
his as the result of discoveries in the
lore and the dwelling places of ancient
South American civilization.
Senator Bingham is one of the most
striking members Of the United States
Senate.
