Even long before the time when Saladin
presented forty pieces of exquisite porce-
lain to the sultan of Damascus, the per-
manence and lustrous beauty of porce-
lain were known to master craftsmen.
1t is only natural, therefore, that in
the development of Frigidaire Advanced
Refrigeration, cleaning finish of Por-

standing marks of superiority.

Machine Locates the
Cause of Radio Noise

Bert Plowman has installed
radio tube testing panel and is
offering free demonstrations. The
machine viii show every tube de-
feet so plainly that any radio
owner may clearly understand
just the condition Of the tube.
MANY radio owners think be-
cause tube lights up that it is
OK" said PloWman in explaining
his new equipment. "That doesn't
prove much of anything, as a mat
ter of fact, he continued, tex
cept that the contacts are still
good. The new machine will show
exactly the defects and all about
it. One feature Of gpoI radio re-
ception which most people know
nothing off is that tubes should
be balanced By this / mean that
all tubes should test about the
same resistance. This makes for
undistorted reception. Much of the
noise heard in the summer time
comes from old tubes"
Mr.. Plowman is offering this
testing service free to all radio
owners. The machine is one of
the latest on the market and tube
owners are invited to inspect the
machine.

The Bidding.

To-day's hand was played at auction and South. the dealer, opened the bidding with one heart. At some tables East over- called with a spade and at other tables two clubs. South would bid another heart. East would show the other suit, but North. if neces- sary, would carry the declaration to four hearts.
 At contract, South would start with one heart and North would jump to three hearts. Some play CTS might even be bold enough to jump to four. With three heart bid from North, South would be justified in going to four hearts. If East attempted to bid four spades, it would be promptly
 The Play.
 Vests proper opening would be the ten of spades. dummy would re- fuse to cover, and West would con- tinue with the nine of spades which dummy would cover with the queen and East would win with the king. With one more spade in dummy, 1t might look quite natural for East to continue with the ace of spades, but supposing the declarer is out of spades, the spade will be ruffed and the diamond suit looks very dangerous in dummy. East should reason two tricks in two to go.
 What are the possibilities? If West has a heart trick there is a chance then of making a club trick, so the proper play for East Is not the ace of spades, but the king of clubs, hoping to ''stop that game" Declarer would win with the ace.
 Declarer can see that he must lose club and possibly a heart. If he leads the zee of hearts, West will get in with the king and then lead a club which will hold de- clarer to three odd. Of course the declarer might try trick play if West were foolish enough to play the four. declarer would win in the dummy with the queen and immediately return heart, going up with the ace. He would then lead the king of diamonds. fol- lowing with the queen, overtak- ing in dummy with the ace. He would then lead the jack and ten of diamonds, discarding the two clubs. West would ruff the ten but it would be too late to stop game.
 If declarer tries the trick play of leading the heart, West must jump in with the king and return the club as his partner has di- rected him to do.

WATERVILLE
GOODWILL LODGE
 HAS FAMILY NIGHT
Regular Meeting Preceded FestivitieS-Faber Ave-
 nue Sure of Sewer

The members of Goodwill lodge, Knights of Pythias, and members of the family enjoyed a "family night" during the social hour which fol- lowed this weeks regular meeting. The committee in charge of the af- fair had arranged most excellent program which was thoroughly en- Joyed by those who attended.
 Chancellor Commander Herbert A. Tullar, welcomed the guests with a few well-chosen remarks in which he emphasized the ideals of the order. Lewis Ostrander of Chip man street, well-known Waterbury entertainer, gave an effective rendi- tion of "The Face On the Bar-room Floor" John Morrow entertained with several harmonica selections, which were followed by vocal duet by MT Ostrander and his daughter, Miss Lucille Ostrander, Let the Rest of the World Go Bly," Miss Ostran- der playing the piano accompani- ment. A high spot on the entertain ment program was humorous mon- ologue "A Bald-Headed Man On a Street Car" by Miss Loretta Patton, who also responded with an encore. Miss Patton, who is a pupil of Miss Marie Bronson, well-known elocu- tionist, possesses a remarkable de- gree of dramatic and elocutionary talent and is sure to be heard from in the future. The final number on the program was a humorous sketch by Edward Wilke and Andrew War ren. An informal quoit tournament followed the program and refresh ments were served.
 Faber Avenue Sewer Assured
 Residents of Faber avenue be- tween Cooke and Dwight streets are to soon have sewer facilities, as the result of action at this weeks meet ing of the board of commissioners of public works. The original peti- ton was presented nearly three years ago, the hearing was held and the project approved and referred to the board of finance. Funds were not available at that time and noth- ing was done. There was also a holdup due to the lack of an outlet. The latter matter has since been solved by the construction of the lat- erals on Columbia boulevard exten- sion from Bon Air avenue to Faber avenue and in Dwight street from Faber avenue to Homer street.
 It is anticipated that the board of finance can now allot funds to this project and that the construction of the sewer will be authorized at the next meeting of the board of alder men.
