which will insure a successful po-
tato crop in Imperial Valley.

Painting Figures
In Damage Action

A copy of Millet's masterpiece
THE Cleaners" figured prominent
" in a Judgment handed down in
superior court this morning by
Judge Vaughn Thompson when he
awarded A. S. KeSzthelyi damages
of S400 against the Planters Hotel
company.
The court found that $3.50 was a
reasonable value to be attached to
this reproduction painted by the
plaintiff, an artist, and as $50 had
already been paid him by the de-
fendant, the remainder was nam
ed in the judgment.
The original complaint which
asked damages of $750 stated that
in February, 1882, the defendant
employed the plaintiff to paint a
reproduction of this painting This
was done and the painting delivered
but no definite sum had been agreed
upon between the two for the work.

citement of her life there. she had not managed to marry. To Sara this fact spelled failure. If girl couldn't get 8 husband for herself what did 1t matter how pretty and talented she was? A career = no matter how spectacu- lar = was, after all, poor sub- stitute for a home.
 If Sara had voiced these thoughts Joan would have agreed with her. But Sara said nothing. Her pity was revealed only in her tone and in her pale blue eyes.
 Joan was in a melancholy mood as she started homeward. She felt unutterably lonely on this golden September day. Crisp brown leaves showered down about her and crackled underfoot. Fall-and the leaves were dying. "The melancholy time of year."
 All the days would be melan- choly from now on, Joan thought. She would be taking her place among the women who went cheer fully about their work, hiding from the world the fact that they loved and were unloved. She would al- ways be like that because she could never marry without love. And her heart had been given to Bob Wes- ton. Her heart would always be his.
 A taxi rattled past and cakne to a stop down the street. Joan, eyes down, thinking her own unhappy thought, did not glance up. Not until she heard her name called.
 She stood still then, staring at Bob, the radiance in her heart re- vealed in her luminous eyes. Her hands went out to him blindly.
 On the swift flight from New York, with the roaring of the air plane motor in his ears, Bob had thought of thousand endearing things he would say to Joan. A thousand tendernesses to prove to her how deep and enduring his love was. But when he saw her there were no words. Only his eyes meeting hers in that dazzled wonderment. His lips on hers. loans arms about his shoulders. Her tears - and perhaps his-on his face.
 For a long moment they held each other close. These two alone apart from the whole world! The time would come when they would talk of the past in the light of the joyous present. But not just yet. All the questions had been answered for both of them.
 Lets get married. Joan. NoW!' Bob said.
 Lets she agreed huskily. happily.
 But it was Mrs Waring who had the final word next day. She was reading aloud to Sara, Benny and Bill from the afternoon papers. Mrs Randolph Waring announces the marriage of her

should e boy stick up for his brother when he has done some thing wrong?" a mother asked me.
 My oldest boy, Bill, was with a crowd on Halloween that took the spare tire off c mans car and then threw it in the river. Bill told Jack, his brother, and Jack came straight to me with the whole story.
 II had to tell my husband. He whipped Bill and went out and got the other boys fathers to chir in and buy afi0ther tire for MI what Bill did doesn't bother me SO much as Jack telling. Jack is in wrong with the boys now Bill isn't a bad boy. On Hal lowe'en I think they ali lost their heads e. little. It isn't that I want ed to protect Bill, eihter, because I think his father did right to

Don't you think there are fimes when itl better for a boy to keep some of the things he knows to himself I don't know what to say to Jack because if I tell him I'd rather not have heard 1t he might think I approved of what Sill did.
 Don't you think . boy ought to be loyal to his brother, no mat ter what he does? Or do you think he felt 1t was better for Bill and everybody else for. us all to know? It certainly did make trouble and now the rest of the crowd are mad at both Jack and Bill and our whole family"
 FAMILY LOYALTY
 To. answer my correspondent with anything approaching intelli- gence I would have to pack a bag, go to her house many miles away and scrape Jacks acquaintance for a couple of weeks.
 But I rather imagine 1t is not the younger brothers habit to "squea1" about everything that happens, or this episode would not have upset his mother so much.
 So I would be inclined to lay Jacks motives to two things. The prank smacked of crime and he didn't like the responsibility of SuCn a secret. Anu lI may Uep tOV, he wanted to keep his own shoes clean if the truth were discovered and it became known he too knew all about 1t.
 wouldn't lay his motives to any real desire to hurt Bill so much as keep clear himself.
 But aren't there times when a boy or girl owes a certain loyalty to members of his family even when they have done wrong :? Every and-patter on ethics prob ably will rise up and shout, 'No!" Above all let us have honesty! Everything must be sacrificed to truth"
 am not that way. I don't like concealment at all, but I dislike still more the man or boy, the woman or girl who will smugly betray a loved one in the name of righteousness. .
 I should like Jack far betetr if he'd kept his mouth shut this time, too, as we'll as the other times I give him credit for.

up for all the unhappiness and pain his arrogance and lack o1 faith has brought her.
 Joan was so wonderful! So sweet and noble and brave and enchanting. Everything was right with the world since Bob had had that brief talk in Havana with Pat and Barney.
 The taxicab stopped at the Park avenue address. Bob leaped out and entered the building. At the apartment door he lifted the knocker with steady, certain fin- gers. He waited with the calm ness of a man who has found the magic password to happiness.
 A maid answered. "Miss War ing" she repeated. NO, she isn't here. She's gone to Mem phis."
 Bob turned away. soberly. But 1t was only for a moment. Im- mediately he was planning to sur mount this obstacle. Where would be the nearest place to get an air line time table?
 Joan walked home slowly. She had spent the afternoon With Sara. her sister-in-law who was knitting a boucle suit and insisted on teaching Joan how. Tt will give you something to do," Sara had said, with the unconscious superiority of the happily married young matron.
 Joan had proved herself an apt pupil. "I'll probably be knitting suits until they go out of fash ion," she thought. After a while when I'm a regular old maid I'll knit shawis and bootees for Pats and Sara's babies" She was thinking all this humorously but 1t was the. sort of humor that leaves a sting, a little hurt some where.
 Sara was an efficient and very proud young housewife. She took Joan through her home, the sec ond tour of inspection since Joan's arrival. Sara was deter mined that the other girl should not miss a single one of the com forts and conveniences of the new house. There were all sorts of time and labor-saving devices Sara was proud to show Bills sister what considerate husband Bill was proving, what an up-and- coming young business man he was, too.
 Joan exclaimed over every thing, consciaous of the little patronizing air that Sara could not conceal. She knew Sara was sorry for her. Despite Joan's suc- cess in New York, despite the ex-

North bids four diamonds, South should bid four spades to show that he had a five-card spade suit, It costs him nothing to re- bid his spades and gives this in- formation to his partner.
 And now North, with three spades to the jack. knows that he has normal trump support, since three trump are sufficient support when you have discovered your partner holds at least five Of his suit.
 North should not make the mis- take of rebididng diamonds, be- cause South has not shown any inclination for strong bidding. And while North would like to make his 100 honors, 1t is more Important to get to game. Therefore, the four spade bid should be passed by North. If hve diamonds are bid, the contract will be defeated, and, of course. If hearts are not opened, nve odd will be made in spades.
 If North plays the hand at dia- monds, East will open the king of hearts and the contract will so down one trick. !, (Copyright 1888 NEA Service Incl

Never confuse economy with cheapness. There's no economy in cheap cosmetics and bargain beau ty treatments.
 This is particularly true of q permanent wave. Plan to get a good one while you're about it. They leave the hair soft and silky and are infinitely easier to ''set". Since that is true you can wave your own permanent and save enough in a very few weeks to make up for the extra money it cost in the first place.
 The operator is all important when 1t comes to a permanent wave. Be sure and select one who has lad experience and is con- scientfous about her work. Whether you get 8 regular permanent or one of the new machineless varieties, the operator still should be your first considerations.
 Dry cleaning bills usually loom large on the average woman's bud- get. Clothes simply have to be cleaned frequently. As an economy measure, you might try cleaning them yourselves. Be very sure to do your bit of dry cleaning out in the open air. Accidents due to gas- oline and benzine explosions occur yearly, often with disastrous re- suits.
 Mask treatments provide another excuse to practice little economy. There are several kinds which you can give your skin right at home. Some of them cost practically noth- ing.

HINTS FOR THE HOME

A large lettuce leaf in the soup kettle will assure you of having a greaseless broth. Put in the leaf when the soup is about ready to be taken from the stove and re- move it before you serve. Nearly all the excess grease will collect on the lettuce leaf.
 If you're on a trip and silver polish is inaccessible, remember that tooth paste will clean and polish your jewelry.
 
 Vinegar will remove rust stains from your white sink. Pour some on each spot and allow it to re-. main there for at least an hour be- fore you rinse 1t away.
 
 Leafy vegetables should be com pletely covered with water and cooked quickly with the cover on the pot.

1-There is no conclusive evi- dence whatsoever in favor of this theory and a vast amount of evil dence against it. My friend, Dr E. E. Free, is now conducting a na- tion-wide experiment to test the theory of mind-reading. While, it would be unscientific to predict the outcome, unless it differs from all previous experiments the result will be either negative or utterly inconclusive.
 2-No. The whole psychological and social relationship is different. Temple Bailey in her novel, "En- chanted Ground" shows the tragedy of a man assuming that his wife will overlook all his faults, indeed, in common English, wipe up the floor after him., as his mother had always done. The son is born into this relationship with his mother, but he has entered with his
The Waterbury Democrat., 1933-11-25

wife into a voluntary partnership to aid her in a mutual enterprise of creating a common life of help fullness, tolerance, growth and en- joyment. He should see the diff ference and carry out his bargain.
 3-No, because he cannot create new interests in his old age. This is true of exclusive devotion to any one line. Even the mighty intellect of Charles Darwin showed it's tragic effect. He said himself that as a young man he greatly enjoyed poetry, but in his old age it nau- seated him, and if he could live life again he would read some poetry every day. Our capacities to enpoy art, poetry, religion or friendships, just as our capacities for arithmetic of mechanics, stead lily weaken if we do not use them.

The most important thing in contract bidding tdoay is to find the safety of the hand. There are many hands in which you hold a great number of high-card tricks, but, due to the fact that your and your partners hands do not fit, it meets with a disastrous result.
 Therefore, in your bidding, a1- ways look for the safety of the hand. I believe today's hand, sub mitted to me by R. Earl Bryan of Cleveland, gives an exceptionally fine example of planning the safety of the hand.
