To the protests of Sewardites over Delegate Sutherland's attempt to cause Alaska mails to De carried on steamers as freight, which would result in considerable risk and delay, w. Irving Grover, Sec ond Assistant PostmaSter-G General Washington, D. O., advised in a let- ter dated April 19, that, The De- partment does not understand Delegate Sutherland's attitude, and has no intention of changing the present method of transporting mails to the Territory unless fore
 ed to do so. we are endeavoring to provide justifiable service, and to do this the Department must pay reasonable rates, and it IS felt that the recent increases granted tn steamship companies were war ranted because of the increase in tonnage of mails handled from Seattle"

One year later than the last one,

But now every one seems q fast one.
When he was born he was no age at all,
And he got married when he was ony

And now today all of a sudden
He's away UP to "A.
The ferst met him was years ago
When I was just beginning,
And since then his waist has been fat

But alas his hair has been thinning.
If he dident have a berthday every year
He'd get older just same.
But he wouldent have everybody re-

Each time that another one came.
o hope his berthday dinner
With special liver and onions
Will make him feel so much younger
He'll forget his gold filings and bun

Household Methods
Washable Articles.
By BETSY CALLIsTER.

Sometimes we select certain house.
hold article just because it can be
washed with soap and water without
injury, and then rest content merely
in the fact that 1t can be washed. Per-
haps you have never done that but we
ourselves must plead guilty. We have
chosen window curtains that would go
through the laundry unharmed In pref
erence to those that would not and
then, feeling that they had a special
merit in the very fact that they were
washable, let them go until they were
so dingy that they had to be sent to
the cleaner anyway to bring them back
into condition
Washable rugs are the best choice
for the children's bed room or nursery,
but they have no special advantage
unless we remember to have them
washed. We should remember that If
they are washed fairly frequently-at
least once a month-they will keep in
better condition than they will If they
are left for six months until they
become really grimy.
Painted metal bsds are chosen be-
cause we think of them as especially
sanitary. But few housewives take ad-
vantage of their waterproof qualities.
They should be washed of with wet
cloth every week or so, and then wiped
with dry cloth, so that they will never
become so discolored or stained that
they ne:d strenuous securing which
NAV injure the painted surface.
Washing cotton rugs Is really not at
all difficult. The wash tub should be
filled half full with lukewarm, not hot,
water, to which well dissolved soap
and-boiling water solution is added. Fhe
rugs should be washed one at q time,
first being swept or vacuum cleaned to
remove as much loose dirt as possible.
Simply let the rug sink in the bath
water and then sozzle 1t up and down
until it appears to be clean. It is q
good plan to work than through two
tubs of soapy water and then through
two rinsing waters. Never ring them
out by twisting. You may put them
through loosely geared electric wringer
or simply squeeze out as much of the
water as possibte Then hang over q
clothes line in the open to dry.

BRIDGE TALKS

In discussing contract bidding, we
VIII first take up the requirements for
the bid of one no trump by dealer. It
Is necessary to value the high cards In
the hand to be able to arrive at the
proper bid, so for use in bidding no
trumps we value them as follows:
Ace, 4; King, 3; Queen, 2; Jack, /,
and two los count /.
An original bid is the first bid made,
and may be made by dealer, by second
hand after dealer has passed, by deal.
er's partner after two passes or by
fourth hand after three passes.
HegarulesS OF the position at the
table In which 1t is made, q bid of one
no trump calls for three suits safely
stopped. and no worthless singleton.
IL seems appropriate to explain here
what Is meant by stops in suits. A suit
stopped when headed by the Ace;
py tDe King and one or two others:
QueeA-Jack and one other; Queen and
three others; Jack-l0 and two others,
and the Jack and four others; that Is
when the bidder holds such cards in it
that ne can take at least one trick In
that suit II 1t be opened by the initial
leader. In other words, he Is insured
against having his adversaries open UP
and running that particular suit.
The count given for dealers bid of
one no trump is l3, which means that
the high card count of the hand should
be Is, with three suits safely stopped.
and that the hand should contain no
worthless singleton. The following hand
illustrates this bid:
E:.as:. Eg:ss:Ikk (: i. !.
Clubs, 10, 5.
This dealers hand, and 1t is easily
seen that three suits are safely stopped.
and the hand contains no worthless
singleton. In counting this hand the
Ace Of Spades counts 4 and tie Jack /,
making for Spades; the King of Hearts
counts 3. and 10-spot of Hearts COM
bined with the 10-spot of Clubs counts
/: the Queen of Diamonds counts 2, and
the Jack 1; and the Jack of Clubs
counts /, making total of l3, which
Is the requirement for dealers bid Of
one no trump.
The amount given for the one no
trump bid, of 13, Is the minimum on
which dealer should bid one no trump.
but often we get hands which are over
the minimum. but not strong enough
TO bid two. When this is the case the
dealer Is Just that much better of, and
the following hand illustrates this type
of hand:
Spades-A, q, g.
Hearts-K, 10, Z.
Diamonds-K, j, 9, e.
Clubs, 10, s.
This is dealers hand, and in counting
it the Ace of Spades counts 4..7Queen q:
King Of Hearts 8; King of Diamonds 8,
Jack of Diamonds /; Jack Of Clubs /.
and the two los in the hand /, or
total Of is. This hand Is Just short of
being strong enough to bid more than
one, but dealer should bid only one no
trump with such q holding.
The one bids are the only bids af-
fected by your position at the table, 50
these have to be given rather in detail.
