The No-Trump Bid and Squeeze
PLAY.

THE no-trump bid always denotes
solid, protective, defensive hold
ings that can reasonably be ex-
i pected to take tricks If the op-
ponents play the hand. Usually
they are made up of primary tricks
and tenace positions-a hand that in
vites the opening lead in preference to
being Immediately led through.
No-trump distributions are as follows:
/. Four Three Three Three.
2. Four Four Three Two.
8. Five Three Three Two.
4. In rare instances Five Four Two
and Two.
In the case of No. l, the hand con-
tains no ruf1ng ability, and unless the
partner has long suit, usually will
play better in no trumps that in q suit
1t is with No. 2 that I intend to deal
today.
With primary tricks in three suits
Queen x is considered a sufficient
stopper in the other suit. Take the

Ny Neighbor Says:

In removing basting threads
cut them every few inches, so
that you do not have to pull a
very long thread out at one
times. You are very apt to leave
holes in the goods If you pull out
long threads.
To keep an enameled washing
machine looking well wash the
outside with kerosene each week
after the washing is done, then
wash off with hot soapsuds and
dry with soft cloth.
For creaming shortening q
wooden spoon is best. It does
not bend, mark the bowl or pan,
or injure the hands as a metal
one does.

Hens Offspring Best
Indicator of Ability

A hen may be a good egg layer,
but that is no guaranty that her
daughters will be good layers, even
when she is mated with a sire whose
female parent was heavy layer.
a three-year experiment by the
United States Department of Agri-
culture indicates.
Progeny testing-that is, the test
ing of the laying ability-Of hens
daughters is the most reliable guide
to that hens ability to produce good
layers, the department found. The
common practice of attempting to
improve egg production by select
ing breeding stock on the basis of
egg production cannot be depended
upon to bring the desired results,
the experiment, made by DR.. Morley
A. JUL, department poultry special
ist, shows.
The department tested 793 single
comb White LeghOrn hens, the
daughters of 10 selected sires and
135 selected dams, at its animal hus-
bandry experiment farm at Belts
vile. Md. The tests showed: That
the egg production of sire's dam
had little significance in determin-
ing his ability to produce good
progeny; that a given sire mated to
a given dam may produce good
progeny. but that the same sire
mated to another dam may produce
poor progeny; that the same was
true for differing sires and a given
dam; that full sisters mated to the
same sire frequently produced di-
verse results; that the average egg
production Of a group Of full sisters
could not be used as a basis for
judging any one Of the sisters for
breeding possibilities.
