No-Trump Angle Is
the Main Con-
sideration
in connection with

takeouts. Therefore, If your hands to-
gether are not distinctly strong, 1t is
better that the contract be restrained to
one no trump. If they are strong, you
want to reach three no trumps. Do not
become mired in the predicament situa-
ton where you get to two no trumps
and then do not know whether to pass
or to bid three Unable to rebid or
raise a suit at this point, you are in
real dilemma. I want you to rule out
this treacherous situation just as we
ruled it out in connection with the bid
ding that follows an opening no-trump
bid In my system, do not want you
to play hands at two no trumps tunless
you have a part score and would be
willing to bid three without that score.)
Either stop at one no trump, or get to
two or three in a suit, or go on to three
no trumps even if that looks like
gamble to the extent of trick or even
two. Two no trumps is a bad spot
YOU are either too weak for it or too
strong to pass up the game chance.
1t is the worst pre0icament situation
in contract, and my system will keep
YOU out of 1t almost without fall.
Realize This Distinction.
If able to bid a one-over- -one, it is

Printz and his party were settled on
the shores of Delaware River for 80
years before William Penn arrived in
Pennsylvania.
One of the earliest buildings in
Philadelphia was ciccaco Block House
which was on the site of Gloria Del
(Old Swedes church,, so well known
in Philadelphia today. This name was
given to the locality from the Indians,
which, translated, means "at the pine
tree camp" because the natives had
built their huts near pine trees The
tract of land later called "Wiscocoa"
was granted in 1854 1t was near the
block house where William Penn was
supposed to have landed in 1882, when
he came from Chester.
Printz'S Mansion was a celebrated
place and stood near the Corinthian
Yacht Club in the city Of Philadelphia.
The coat of arms was borne by
Johan Printz.

treatment is found on a green and white
figured dress. which has a straight,
cape-like section, made in one with the
front of the frock and cut up at the
shoulder seam. 1t is finished at the
edge with a half-inch fold of white.
The white collar and cuffs are edged
with a rutf1ing that is picoted in green.
Plaid gingham and checks are splen-
did for play dresses, and one or two of
the colorS are often used as trim on the
collar and cuffs.
A cunning outdoor suit for wee one
is of fine, soft silk and wool knit in a
rosy beige. with lines of brown for
trimming and three little animals
croSS-stitched in angora across the
front. At has a tiny beret to match.
Soft green is a color that looks well
on children and makes a darling en-
semble of coat, hat and Upper leggings.
The coat has little beaver collar and
bands of it around the wrists, as well
as a beaver ball on the close fitting
hat. Displayed with this outfit in a
very enticing manner is a pair of tan
gloves and a green pocketbook in the
same color as the coat. There is even
a tan doggie standing near to tempt
childish desires.
For baby sister there is a delicate
pink outfit that makes her look like

length and made of celanese taffeta in
pale tints of pink, blue, green, yellow
and ivory, with touches of contrasting

too, ranging from $3.95 to $5.95. The
one sketched is particularly attractive
in soft, pale yellow, with shoulder ruff
f1es extending to the waist and a small
garland of cerise flowers Just over the
shoulders. There is a front panel, with
a narrow ruff1e applied at knee length,
smartly at intervals to show its lining.
A pale green frock with round neck has
a sash of kelly green and box-pleated
and graduated ruffie from waist to
shoulder, lined with the bright green.
The skirt has a deep yoke from which
fullness is applied in scallops. The
backs of these frocks are cut in shallow

The rind and flowers of this plant
are nassd as a powerful astringent. In
most large cities this fruit can be OBJ
tanned at very small cost. Large
ones are about 10 or Is cents each.
A famous Arab photographer sets
forth the many virtues of this plant
for its medicinal properties as follows:
"A certain fruit, the product of a GER
tain tree, well known: the sweet sort
thereof relaxes the digestion and a
cough; the sour sort thereof has the
contrary effect. and that which is be-
tween sweet and sour is good for inflam-
nation of the stomach and pains in
the heart. The pomegranate has six
fiavors, like the apple, and is COM
mended fop its delicacy, its quick dis
solving and its elegance"

Pomegranate.


NJ AT the pomegranate," ad-
- - vised the prophet Mohammed.
for it purges the system of
IL envy and hatred" What a
marvellous fruit this would
be, If this were true, and how greatly
mankind would be blessed if, by eat
ing this juicy fruit, it could be cured
of two of the worst enemies.
Far earlier than the days OF the
great Mohammed, this fruit was held
in high favor in the Orient. King
Solomon possessed an orchard of them,
and when the children of Israel became
so discouraged. as they wandered in
the wilderness, they sighed for the cool
ing juice of the pomegranate.
This fruit Is always associated with
the fig and grape in the East, but IN
America it is little known and the
grape has first place. This Is because
of our abundance of many delicious
fruits and, too, the pomegranate ap-
peals more to those who inhabit hot,
arid regions. For this very reason,
it was thought the pomegranate would
be most acceptable in the desert val
leys of California and Arizona, but as
yet the fruit remains unappreciated.
True. about $50 acres are now
planted to this shrub in California,
and we are told that the total produc-
ton in the United States IN 1910 was
about $50 900 pounds. OF course. there
are many individual plants that are
not brought into account.
The trees are natives Of Western
Asia and Northern Africa, and are cul-
tivated in other warm countries. In
the Bible, they are spoken Of as the
fruits of promise, and described by
TheophraStuS in 300 BIC.
When this tree develops naturally,
it will grow to be Is to 20 feet high.
The present day method is to train it
so it will branch out and grow close
to the ground.
The leaves are oblong and about 8
inches long, very glossy and beautiful
bright green. The flowers are orange
red and axillary. They are usually
solitary, but may be found in clusters
in the axis of the plant. The fruit
is about the size of a large orange,
sometimes larger, somewhat f1attened,
and is six-sided. The fruit is crowned
with a thick tubular calyx which gives
it an ornamental effect The skin,
when it is ripe, Is a prownish yellow
to red in color. A thin wall separates
the lower portion into cells. Each cell
is filled with a arge number of grains.
that are crowded on thick, spongy
and are about u an inch long. They are
transparent, and contain a juicy, red
dish pulp, which surrounds an elon-
gated angular seed. This pulp Is sub
acid in flavor and very delicious.

Frozen South.
IF IT had not been for the need Of
food, all of those with Capt.
Scott might have tried to reach
i the South Pole. As 1t was, the
food problem was so severe that
the leader decided to take only four men
with him on the last lap Of the journey.
On January 8, 1912, nine days after
the Christmas feast which have de-
scribed. Scott entered the tent Of Ed
ward Evans, and told him that the time
had come to turn back with two COM
rades on the 750-mile return journey to
the base of supplies.
Let us use the words of Evans him
self to describe the moment when the
parting took place:
I'VE gave three cheers for the
Southern party as they stepped off; and
then turned our sledge and commenced
our homeward march of between 750
and 800 miles. We often looked back,
until we saw the last Of Capt. Scott
and his four companions-a tiny black
speck on the horizon. Little did we
see them alive, that our three cheers
on that bleak and lonely plateau
would be the last they would ever
know"
For the rest of Our knowledge about
the five men we must depend chiefly
on diaries kept by two Of them. Scott
and Bowers.
On January 4, Scott wrote: Packed
up sledge with four weeks and three
days food for five men, five sleeping
bags, etc. Teddy (Evans) was frightfully
cut up about not going to the Pole l..
and am very sorry about it. Poor
Teddy, am sure 1t was for his wife's
sake that he wanted to go. He gave
me little silk flag she had given him
to fly on the Pole.
Our party was on ski with the
exception of myself. We found
we could manage our load easily, and
completed l2l2 miles by tbs pm.
