ed the 2-year- hair may be ccmbed
in loose roll on top of her head.
When this top hair has grown long
enough it may be tied with a jaunty
bow. The side hair may hang straight
to the lobes of the ears. The few short
hairs along the hairline at the top of
the forehead may be combed down and
trained to curl inward, like tiny bangs.
In whatever way child's hair is
arranged, it must be ciean and healthy.
The scalp should be gently massaged
and the hair well brushed every day.
Do not use too stiff brush. Combs

scrupulously clean and should never be
shared with other children or adults.
Once week is not too often to sham

bangs should not be too heavy nor too

can be trained to curve to one side
instead of hanging perfectly straight.
Children's hair usually takes a good
fingerwave. even when it is not nat

to dress dark hair that will finger

of the head and turn up the ends

Another attractive coiffure has a
center part and thin fringe ON the

shorter at the sides. The hair is

Prairie dogs. of course. are not dogs,
but rodents. They live in colonies and
vast numbers Of them get along hap
PLY together There is a general air
Of activity about their home grounds.
They appear to meet in solemn con-
ferences and hold long consultations.
Perhaps a peace treaty is under con-
sideration or a new colony is about TO
be established in the adjoining county
It is q fact that these little fellows have
a form Of government that keeps them
harmon;ously together, even though
there are thousands of them in the
colony.
Let a gun be fired and within 4 sur
prisingly short time each householder
is within his own doorway. Once with
in his own domain, he turns about and
utters a note of displeasure, then turns
and goes down his hallway out of sight,
to await further developments.
Prairie dogs are great believers IN
large families, and once a colony is es-
tablished in any open country where
the ground Is dry it is most difficult to
get rid Of them.
There are four babies each year, and
they are born in a cozy nursery inside
the large living room that is located on
a higher level of the burrow.
Prairie dog town attracts many enc
mics If the vast number of these ef-
ficient diggers were not kept within
bounds by the coyote. ferret and rat
tlesnake, who are brave enough to en-
ter the burrows, they would become a
great economic problem. Wherever
these animals live near cultivated
ground they are very injurious to the
green crops While dining they sit
erect on their hind legs. but if inter-
rupted they stuff their food into their
mouths and make bee line for home.

as high cards: and o. where he con-
tributes only high cards
Response Is Two No Trumps.
To encourage a slam over this re-
sponse, the opening bidder needs
plenty of primary tricks. How many?
Well let us work it out for ourselves.
First, let us insure against the stupid
risk of taking a penalty on big hand
without even bidding the slam.
Determining the Risk.
The only way for the opening bidder
to invite slam in these circumstances
is to bid four no trumpS. since we are
dealing with short suited opening
hands. In the event that partners re-
sponSe was based on minimum values,
that he almost passed the opening bid.
what is the least the opening bidder
must hold in order that four no
trumps will not be doubtful con-
tract? Relying on dummy for not
more than three kings or their approx
mate equivalent. with no five-card suit
in either hand to work with, what must
the opening bidder hold to lose only
three out of the 13 tricks? Write out
few partnership hands of this type,
and I think you will agree that OPEN
er's hand should include five primary
tricks. Also the hand must include
three aces. 1t is in fact difficult to get
that strength without them. Make the

A Little Saturday Talk.

n
- write these words journeyed
to the shore Of a lake Some
~ times go swimming, but today
1 just stayed on the beach and
watched others. chiefly children, play
ing about in the water.
While I was watching my thoughts
drifted to the subject Of safety. Waters
Of lakes, rivers and oceans will cool off
almost countless persons during the hot
days which may be expected later this
Summer but how many of them will
lose their lives during their frolics in
the water?
If we may Judge by the past, the
number will be all too great. Indeed,
for single person to die in that man
ner is too many" There is no good
reason why swimmers should not all
come back safe and sound.
Last year I saw men working over
boy who was unconscious following
swimming accident in a river. A
pulmotor was used on him, but it failed
to save him from death.
If we were making rules Of safety
for swimmers. what might We put first?
1t seems to me that a good rule would
be. Never take chances" That would
include many things. Why should We
take chance by going swimming less
than an hour after eating a meal
Many boy and many girl have died
because they were overcome by cramps
when they went into the water too
soon after eating
1t is no proof of bravery to swim
out over deep water. Expert swimmers
sometimes do it. but even they may
come to grief If there is no boat
nearby to help them in case of sudden
need. For a person who can swim
lust little" it is plain folly to go
far beyond points of safety. Swim
ming can be carried on freely. and
with almost no donger, in water which
is 3 or feet deep.
A special problem comes with SWIM
ming in rivers. because rivers are likely
to have strong currents. Some rivers
are so muddy that it seems to me it

fresh Holsters and SOft-Shelled crabs
and the fresh crab meat, which We all
appreciate so much.
1t is interesting to note, however, that
n spite of the supply Of fresh fish avail
able, the use of the canned fish also in
creases in Summertime. 1t is an amusing
fact the New England the center of the
fresh fish industry, is also the best mar
ket for canned and salt fish. 1t seems
as if the use of fish is a habit some
times not too easy to start, but, after
it is started, unbreakable.
1t is good served hot or cold. With
a cream sauce, favored and colored
with pimentos and green peppers, with
a cheese or a tomato sauce, we have
a Savory Scalloped or creamed dish
which we may know as la king,
morney, au gratin, deviled or creole
Croquetes and outlets make an espe-
cially good use for any of the fish
flakes. I had a novel hors d'oeuvre
recently with the before-dinner drinks.
1t was made up of tiny fried fingers
of ready-to-use fish cake mixture. and

it was delicious. OF course. you could
serve them hot. but some of us don't
like to fill the apartment with the smell
of deep fat frying just before the COM
pany arrives.
Speaking of croquetteS and outlets.
the latter made of lobster and impaled
on a stick of macaroni to represent
a bone, are attractive for the main
luncheon or supper dish. They need a
sauce with them, really good cream
sauce perhaps with few minced
vegetables in it.
Then there are the fish cocktails.
which when we'll chilled make such
a good introduction to a meal. The
sauce served with them must be very
well seasoned. Sometimes mixed sea
food is used. For a simple supper you
may like to use one of these sauces to
make a salad to be served on lettuce
with a vegetable salad and potato chips
as a plate meal. An attractive combi-
nation might be fish salad. potato
chips. sliced tomatoes and radiShes;
another is salmon mayonnaise, potato
croquettes and a vegetable salad a
