.Contract
Bridge
By E. V. Shepard

I just saw z open contract
ing on the hand shown below,
with Four Spades. 1t happened
at one Of the best known card
clubs to be found in the world.
There is no criticism of such a
declaration when just four odd
are required to go game. The
majority of bidders would have
preferred a demand declara-
ton, with Slam possibilities in
mind. Of course there was no
adverse bidding; z held too
many high cards to make such
an attempt appear lucrative.

The opening lead was the
Queen of Clubs. which was won
by the Declarer's Ace, false
carded. It was not an un-
natural hope that with nine
trumps the four adversely held
spades should fall in two leads,
leaving Dummy with one
trump for ruffing the declarer's
third losing diamond. z led
his King of Spades only to dis
cover that the four missing
trumps we're held by B, and
that one spade trick must be
lost. He then should have
stopped leading trumps, and
led a losing diamond, hoping
that B would not win the trick
and lead bcak a trump, to pre-
vent Dummy from ruffing a
diamond, also to avoid letting
Dummy in, to lead up to the
Declarer through BIS King of
H arts. Instead of utilizing his
only hope of fulfilling his game
contract, z banged down his
Ace of Spades, followed b. his
Jack. B won the trick with
his Queen, led his Ace of Dla-
monds. When A gave him a
come-on with the Ten, B led a
low diamond, which A took
with his Jack, and then led
out his King, winning a third
diamond trick. z trumped the
fourth lead of diamonds, and
picked up BIS last trump. Try
as he might, z never was able
to force B to unguard his King
of Hearts; finally the Declarer
had to give B a heart trick.
Three lost diamonds, one
trump and one heart trick
five tricks total lost-defeated
the contract by two tricks.

Dope About
Garment Bags

There seems to be considerable mis-
understanding on the part Of house
keepers as to the real function of gar
ment bags, says DR.. E. A. Back, of the
Bureau Of Entomology, United States
Department of Agriculture. These
bags, says Doctor Back, are frequent
ly called moth proof" not because
there are any properties in the bag
which will kill moths or moth eggs,
but because the bags can be closed so
tightly that moths can not enter.
Garments stored in so-called moth
proof" bag will be protected against
the insects only if they go into the bag
absolutely free of moths, moth larvae
or moth eggs, and if the bag is not
torn. Doctor Back gives the following
suggestions for using garment bags:
First, cleanse the garment by laun-
dering or by dry cleaning. If it is al
ready clean, lay it in the sun for sew
eral hours and brush it thoroughly.
Moths can not live long in the sun
light. A thorough brushing and shak-
ing should dislodge any moth eggs
that might be in the folds or seams.
Cleaning with the vacuum cleaner at
tachment is an added precaution.
Next, put the garment into bag on
the hanger provided for it, and close
the bag, making sure it is absolutely
tight
The hook part Of the hanger usually
extends through the opening at the
top Of the bag, so that the bag with
its contents can be hung over hook
or clothes pole in the closet. Unless
this opening is closed, no matter how
small it is, there is danger of moths
entering the bag. So seal the opening
and in placing the hanger or moving
it about, be careful not to enlarge or
tear out the opening itself.

OVEN CANNING


This year more than ever before,
home makers are going to do consid-
cradle canning in the home. Espec-
tally since the prices of fruits and
vegetables are SO low in comparison
to other years.
Up to the present time women have
considered the work of canning fruits
and vegetables as one of the most
dreaded tasks, however, oven canning
has proved to be such fine method
that more and more people will be
using it this year
All fruits and vegetables may be
canned in the oven. Fruits should be
chosen very carefully. Only fresh,
solid, fruits should be used. Some of
the general facts to be remembered
are:
Vegetables should be pre-cooked in
boiling water for short time before
packing in sterilized jars varying from
to 10 minutes depending on the
firmness of the vegetable. After veg
etable has been packed in the jars add
the salt (cne teaspoon salt to the
quartz pour on the boiling water just
to the neck of the jars.
Lids and rubbers should be steril-
lied before they are placed on the
can. Turn lid tight and then back
ono laIf 4,,ro y,Iano oapr ~, {l,o nt,op
rack one at a time having the oven
preheated at 300 degrees for 10 min
utes. Set dial at $50 degree for the
sterilization period. Corn, beans,
peas, greens and all vegetable comb
nation should be sterilized fer three
hours; carrots should be stcrilizcd for
one and one-half hours and tomatoes
for so minutes for quart jar and 40
minutes for pint jars.
The syrup for filling fruit jars
should be made with three parts of
sugar to two parts of water.
After jars have been filled and lids
have been placed according to direc-
tions given for vegetables the cans
should be placed in an oven which has
been preheated for 10 minutes at 800
degrees and then turned back to 270
degrees for the time required to ster-
ilize.
Apples require 60 minutes; plums
SO minutes; peaches, pears and all
berries 45 minutes. The time given
above should be used for quarts only
Pint jars require 10 minutes less time.
At the close of sterilization period,
remove cans one at time, tighten
lids. Invert cans to test but cool in
upright positions.

"0NERHEAD" IN THE
HOME
+ I. + + + j. + = 4. + 4. > 4. = 4

The busiest ways and means" COM
mittee of any business today is that
which concentrates on ways and
means by which overhead may be cut
down How is this committee work
ing in your home?
Managing the home today is a SER
ious business and overhead" expense
is a problem deserving the most care
ful attention Of every home manager.
Many items and conveniences in the
home which categorically are over
head do not have to be discarded en-
tirely in cutting down expenses.
Watchfulness on the part of every
member of the household will work
wonders with the monthly expense.
Water wasted; lights left burning
when un-needed; burners in the gas
range going strong unnecessarily-all
these things increase overhead.
Here are some reasons why the gas
bill sometimes runs higher than it
should
The giant burner is used when a
smaller burner will do.
Food is taken off the fire and the
flame left burning.
Water and foods arc allowed to boil
furiously, instead of the flame being
turned down
Larger cooking utensils than neces-
sary are often used.
A gallon of water is heated when a
pint would do.
Little carelessnesses such as these
do not seem much at the time, but
through a month are accumulative.
Watehfulness is the home managers
most efficient weapon for cutting down
overhead in the home.
