It's this way. The boys stay out
as long as they can Then eviction is
threatened. Or they say, Let's give
it another chance Then they go
down into the mine and work a week
or two. But when they get their
pay, they get nothing. The company
has taken out for this and that and
everything.

the boys say. If we're going TO starve
let's starve above ground. We don't

That's the way it is, A bunch over

So these men worked two weeks and
then they asked for their pay.
"Pay,' echoed the super. Why,
you guys said you wanted to work.
Well, you got chance to, didn't
you?' And they didn't get paid,
either.
But take it now in mines that do

 Paris - GU. P.) -Thirty-three feminine finery have just shaped wherein is reflected definitely the ing fall and winter.
 These 33 models were exhibited by the Grand Prix de rElegance", Grand Palais in the Champs Ely sees.
 Theater and movie stars, favor ites of the French capital, acted as mannequins, displaying gowns that of the 1760's, 1830's, 1860's and 1870's.
 First prize for the most stunning Vernon, French film star, who wore a chic black and white afternoon ensemble. Incidentally, 12 of the 33 gowns exhibited were combina- tions of black and white, with white predominating.
 Variations of the 1880 model hat known as the Feminine bowler", "Amazon," Pudding basin", Eng lish walking hat" and the Tilted boat-shaped bonnet" were out standing features. Some of these new hats were worn 50 far on the side of the head that they had to have tiny velvet ribbons tied around the head to keep them from falling off. Practically all of them were trimmed with feathers and plumes.
 Next in favor to the black and white models-white with offset ting points in black--was aquama- rine. Graduated ruffles, all the way from the waist to the floor, pointed the way to the entrance of "period" styles for the fall and winter. Lace bodices with skirts of satin, crepe or chiffon, formed another interesting feature of the

The probable tricks that a. hand can contain at a suit declaration | come under three classifications. | Quick tricks.
 2-Probable finessing values, 3-Long or low card tricks. When hand contains g. five | card suit headed by ace, king, queen. 1t should be rated as five probable tricks if played in that suit. By subtracting the five trump held from the total of 13 trump, you arrive at eight, the number of trump left to be divid- ed in the other three hands. A
 normal distribution of these trump is three, three, two, there- for your ace, king and queen will pick up the outstanding three trump and your two remaining trump are good for two tricks. If you held a. trump suit of five cards headed by ace. king. you should value it as four probable tricks. The ace and king would pick up two of the outstanding trump, your third trump would lose to the queen, and you would be left with two good trumps. This is the basis upon which the num- Der of probable trump tricks should be estimated for the de- clarer's hand.
 Until the bidding indicates an ways assume that the trumps are evenly divided. Therefore the re- maining trumps which are left in your hand after you have picked up or forced out the declarer's trump, are called long cards or low card tricks. A fiVe-card suit always has two long card tricks and on the same basis a six-card suit should be counted on for three long card tricks.
 It is rather difficult to estimate the probable trick value of four card suit as the fourth card, due to unfavorable distribution, may not prove long card trick, but as the ton honors have additional strength as quick tricks, we are safe in Valuing our hand to as- sume that even the fourth card Of g. four-card suit should be a prob able trick.
 When we hold solid established suit in trump, every card is count ed as a probable trick, but when the trump suit is not established. the top cards may only be counted for their face value, 0. E., a five card suit headed by ace, king, queen is rated as five probable tricks, while a five-card suit head ed by king, queen. jack can only be counted as four probable tricks as ono of the three top honors must be used to force out the ace.
 Additional values of one-half probable tricks are given to all finessing combinations in trump, such as ace. jack, 10; king. jack 10, or ace, king, jack.
 Long cards in side suits are not counted as probable trick winners unless the trump suit is sufficient ly long and strong to insure com plete control of the hand, e. g., you hold: Spades-A-K-Q-10-10-10 Hearts-5
 Diamonds-7
 Clubs-A-K -Q-10-10 The long spade trump suit IS

The Mysteries of
 Light Meringue
Also Icings and Candy and
 How to Handle Sugar

When 8 caket falls or 8 meringue would make good tires, what is the cause? Probably the way the sugar Is handled, says Beulah V. Gillas- pie. There are all kinds of sugars which have to be treated in all kinds of ways. whether for candy or cake icing, and the science of sugar is fully explained by Miss Gillaspie in McCalls for April:
 "In batters and doughs our standby Is granulated sugar. For rather than a coarse grain, as the fne-grained sugar gives a smooth CT and more velvety texture. It dis solves more quickly than the coarse grain. If the sugar you happen to have on hand when you get ready to bake a cake seems coarse to you, you can make finer by crush ing 1t with the rolling pin on the pastry board.
 Sugar does more than sWeeten batters and doughs. It gives to our cakes finer texture and grain, and grain and 8 hakier and more ten- der crumb. Sugar also adds weight and moisture to dough-which ex- plains why, when you use too much, your cake falls and is damp, sticky and sugary.
 "In reading recipes for thick creamy icings and luscious candies have you ever wondered why they call for corn syrup? Or for vinegar lemon juice, or cream of tartar? The reason Is that corn syrup, vinegar, lemon juice, and cream of tartar have a peculiar power they can prevent sugar from graining or forming crystal. Therefore, when you want a smooth creamy cake icing or @ smooth creamy candy, add either corn syrup or one of the acids mentioned to your mixture. In addition you must be careful to dissolve the sugar completely be- fore the boiling point is reached. One single crystal of undissolved sugar may crystalize the entire mass. For this same reason 1t Is ad- visable to wipe the sides of the cooking utensil with 8 wet cloth to remove any sugar crystals that may have lodged there.
 Do not jar, stir or beat the mix ture before it has cooled, or allow any foreign substance to drop into | 1t, as that also may cause crystal ization, and make your icing or candy turn out coarse and grainy. All this sounds dif1cult, but it is surprisingly simple after you have done 1t once or twice.
 'In meringues good results de- pend on three things: CD the amount of sugar CD temperature of oven (3) time of baking. Long baking at low temperature de- mands a larger proportion of suagr Short baking at a high temperature takes less. If you want an extra soft meringue, use one tablespoon of sugar to one egg white; bake ID to 20 minutes at an oven temper ature of 800 degrees F. For Q firm meringue. use four tablespoons of sugar to one egg, white. and make 60 minutes at temperature of 26o degrees F.
