opponents. The wisdom Of his move
was borne out by the results, since
his net loss was only twenty.
In local bridge circles the wisdom
or Meckei'S bid IS being debated.
Some contend that a gradual bid
would have been wiser. while 9TH

seven, arguing that in that way
no indicatory bids by his opponents
would be possible.
After the gFme the players and
a group who witnessed the game
signed a document certifying that
the cards had been duly shuffled
and cut. and that the proceeding
was regular in every way.

The Once Over
MAHATMA GANDm MAKES SOME SALT

Mahatma Gandhi has completed his march to the
sea and made salt. 1t Is hard for the average Ameri-
can to see why this should get more than a couple
OF lines In the sports. housekeeping. daily recipe or
social columns. but the incident got as much space
on page ! as the naval parley and a little more than
the latest Ratchet murder.
esss
Mahatma walked 200 miles for his salt when ne
could have found IL at the village grocer's or even in
his own pantry. Any neighbor would have loaned
him salt. and probably pepper. But that wasn't the
point. BY going to the sea. scooping up a pail Of
water and making only enough salt to flavor a bowl
OF noodle soup, he was. In a manner Of speaking,
not only twisting the tail OF the British lion but salt
ing it In the bargain.
Jonathan x. Bull has the exclusive rights on the
salt manufacturing business in India and when Gand-
hi and his followers made salt they we're registering
civil disobedience.
England looks upon Gandhis making of salt the
way President Hoover would look at it if Aimee Nc
Pherson raided his trout stream or the way Andrew
Mellon would regard 1t If Billy Sunday marched to

Mahatma Gandhi made no great impression as a
salt manufacturer and it was the unanimous opinion
Of spectators that it would be very painful to have
a spray Of celery and have to wait for the salt until
Gandhi produced it. The incident drew attention TO
him, however, as one Of the most sincere leaders in
the world and the only great public figure operating
practically naked.
Mahatma considers a guest towel a complete trav-
cling suit with patch-pockets and belt. His general
appearance. touring. salt-making or ~lecturing is that
of an undernourished curio dealer looking for a bath
tub.
But when he operates. the world knows 1t Is no
vaudeville act. He is so sincere that the world would
pay him serious attention even If he bothered to
dress. What he wants is independence for the In
dams. That's what America wants for Americans
But civil disobedience won't do It.
We've had civil disobedience IN this country for
twelve years and all it got us was the Wickersham
committee and the Literary Digest poll.

Do not clean laquered ornaments
or firearms with ordinary brass
polish. Dust the articles to be
cleaned, dip soft rag into sweet

then rub the oil off with a dry
cloth, beginning at the place where
the oil was first put on. Rub until
the oil is quite dry, then polish
well with dry chamois.

The pockets of kitchen aprons
are continually catching on door
handles, nails and etc. Try putting
the pockets in the center of the

by either hand and can not catch

When stitching fine material
like musline or crepe de chine on
a sewing machine, a seam is often
spoiled by being puckered. This
may ibe averted by placing a piece
of paper under the seam. When it
is finished the paper can easily be
torn away from the stitching.
Before putting sonny's suits in
the laundry be sure to go thru
every pocket thoroughly. Nine
times out of ten you will find some
thing that would have been disas-
trous if it had gotten into the
washer with the clothes.
When you have a sticky bean
pot to clean, the best way to do it
is to drop a teaspoon of soda into
the pot, then fill with boiling wa

fort on your part.
