IF YOU have ever crossed the en-
chanted threshold Of the Jack and
Jill shop that stands on that quaint,
i winding lane, known as Church
street, in London, your heart Will
respond warmly to the native charm OF
this party frock of cotton print. Even
though we present 1t in an all-Amerl-
can manner, you instantly 1eel tha1
its origin is English.
London. as we all know, has long been
famous for its children'S clothes. And
mothers with taste, wnen they find IT
possible, invariably look for style trends
from there when they plan their chill
dren's wardrobe.
There is a refreshing simplicity about
these British styles, and they have the
added advantage of remaining in vogue
until the last thread is worn out.
The popularity of picturesque designs
Is observed at all the gatherings where
smart children congregate. At recent
party for young fashionables. the trock
sketched today was seen on lovely
child, who was affecting the new long
hair comb that calls for RIBBON band.
Her band matched her SASH, and the
sash was pink. to tone in with the
pastel glow Of the frocK.
For this design we recommend flow
cred batiste, dotted swiss, or rose-strewn
dimity. The fine lace edging must,
of course, be whipped on by hand, and
the sash. to carry out the picture book
illusion, should be Of silk or satin.

these bids and the ensuing responses
and rebids, but also to grasp my reason
ing and feel with me that it is intrirlsi-
cally right-not because I say so and
get almost perfect results with these
bids, but because it is in the nature of
cards that big hands of this kind should
be bid in this way. I believe that my
forcing theory establishes itself ineradi-
cably whenever it is thoroughly ex-
planned and understood.
The Technical Reasons.
I am quite certain. as the result Of
much thought and experience, that it
is utterly wrong. from a technical stand
point. to force your partner to bid when
you need from him natural, voluntary
response in order to be sure OF game.
In other words, force only when an un-
natural response will fulfill your pur-
pose, whereas a natural pass would be
disaster. This condition exists only
when your hand is so unnatural in its
strength that your partner cannot
know-unless you tell him so by
forcing bid-that his cards are the de-
Gliding factor in the hands destiny,
however insignificant they may appear
to him. The force informs him that he
cannot know the actual value of his
cards, because ordinary standards do
not apply on this particular hand.
The Psychological Factor.
Psychologically, 1t is ruinous to part
nership to force our partner to do
something which will cause him to sus-
tain loss which would have been
avoided had you let him apply his own
Judgment to his own hand. Only II his
knowledge and Judgment or normal card
values are definitely not needed land
would mislead him fatally II his hand
were weak should you forbid him to
pass. This much consideration is due
to your partner as matter of courtesy
How else can you hope to build up a
firm foundation of mutual confidence.
without which a sound and successful
partnership is an absolute inpossibility?

Hairy Finds Intruder.
xhe coward only never fights
For preservation of his rights.
Old Mother Nature.

.TIMMY. the Flying Squirrel, had
discovered the new Winter home
of Hairy the Woodpecker. 1t
i was very much to his liking, was
that new home. It was snug
and warm and very comfortable.
IF it were just wee bit bigger 1t
would be perfect. but as it is: it is
nice" thought Timmy. IT would like
to have it myself. Yes, sir, I would
So"
As a matter Of fact, he had taken q
long nap In that new home which
Hairy had worked so hard to cut out
in the trunk Of tree near the edge
Of the Green Forest. You know, Tim
my sleeps through the day and comes
out at dusk. Hairy had left it just
after daybreak, and T1mmy, who had
been watching. had at once slipped in
to inspect it, and then, because It
really was his bed time and he was
sleepy. he had curled up in there and
gone to sleep. He wakened late in the
afternoon, and somewhat hurriedly
left. You see. he didn't want to be
found in there by the owner, and it
was almost time for the latter's re-
turn. Indeed, Timmy had only just
jumped to the next tree when Hairy
arrived and at once entered the new
home for the night.
For some time after this Tfmmy
spent many days sleeping in Hairy's
home. Whenever he happened to be
over in that part of the Green Forest
at daybreak, and that was often, he
would watch until Hairy left and then
take possession 1t saved him the trou-
BILE of going way back to his own home.
He knew that Hairy would not return
until late in the afternoon, and he al
ways contrived to be out and away be-
fore 1t was quite time for Hairy to
arrive SO that snug home in the tree
was occupied much of the time both
day and night.
At last there came dull, dark day.
1t grew quite dark earlier than usual
in the afternoon, and because Hairy
does not like to be out after dark he
returned home earlier than usual. He
alighted at the round entrance, and
then started to enter, as usual He
was halfway in before he discovered
that there was an intruder there. He
backed out in hurry. Yes, sir, he
backed out in hurry. And he was
as angry a Woodpecker as ever was
seen. Who it was in there he didn't
know, and he didn't care. 1t was
enough that there should be any one
in there He struck the tree sharply
with his bill
Timmy was still asleep when Hairy
arrived, but that sharp rap on the tree
caused his eyes to fly open. Good
nessl" thought he. IT must have over
slept. must get out of here before
Hairy returns"

plants are attacked by these busy un-
derground workers.
The mother makes nurseries of the
main hallway, and excavates room
about four inches deep. Into these
rooms she lays from 40 to so oval
shaped eggs, about one-eighth OF an
inch long and greenish in color. In
about three weeks, the eggs hatch and
the babies, resembling their parents. ap-
pear dull and sluggish for two or three
days. Then they leave the nursery and
ever saw. When two-thirds grown they
have their wing pads, and do not have
their fully developed wings until they
are six or even eight months old.
The mole crickets travel by wing.
During migration you may see hun
dreds Of them in bitches and along the
highways. They travel at the rate OF
about Is miles a year, through the
, State and about 100 miles inland from
| the coast.
This pest is an immigrant from the
West Indies and South America. 1t
came over from Puerto Rico in the bal
last of ships. The habit Of racing over
the ground at night is going to be the
found that poison bait, scattered over
the ground about the plants, will at
tract their favorable attention. Once
they have tasted the delectable meal,
well-mixed with molasses, they eat as
much as they can hold. It is a fatal
meal for them. They never return to
warn their family, and two applications
usnually free the ground for a while.
When the new generation comes along,
one more meal is all that is necessary.
The cost is small, about four dollars an
acre.

couldn't keep still He hitched around
on the tree trunk just outside that
entrance, waiting for Tfmmy to Just
show himself. Come out. you rob-
Der! Come out of my housel" he
screamed.
Tinmy had no desire to accept the
invitation. He would stay where he
was, unless Hairy should try TO get at
him in there. Then he would fight.
Presently that is just what Hairy did
try to do. He poked his head in and
struck down. But there wasn't room
for him to carry his head far enough
back for a hard blow Then, too, Tim
my's sharp teeth had snapped at his
throat, had even pulled out few
feathers. Hairy retreated to keep up
his watch outside, and now and then
hammer on that tree.
Presently Blacky the Crow happened
that way and stopped to see what all
the fuss was about. Hairy was bit
suspicious of Blacky and edged around
to keep the trunk Of the tree between
them. This was Timmy's chance. In
a flash he was out of that hole and
sailing in long glide to another tree.
Hairy saw him and started after him,
quite forgetting Blacky. Cav! Cawl
Caw!" shouted Blacky.
In a few minutes Hairy returned,
still angry, for his chase had been in
vain.

WINTERTIME

The Gull.
BY FANNY Y. CORY

The Gull.
~ N the list Of our District Winter
II birds, many people would for
II ! get to add the gull. But the
Potomac has no gulls In the
warm months, except the
laughing gull. The herring gull. which
Is the common harbor gull Of the whole
North Atlantic and the Great Lakes. Is
the one we see now as we cross the Po-
tomac bridges, bobbing about content
edly in Icy water, waddling on Ice foes
and ice sheets, unafraid of man, for no
one molests them.
Except, perhaps, a very young bird,
gulls are generally inedible. Their flesh
Is nauseous. owing, no doubt, to the de-
caying food they eat. But in most
States, law protects the gulls in any
case. As scavengers Of dead fish and
other dead animals, they are invaluable.
They congregate around the mouths
Of sewers and If this seems harsh,
incongruous fact. when we think OF the
grace CT their flight, and the beauty of
their stainless plumage, let us merely
be thankful that birds that perform so
lowly a task manage to lift their heart
and the thoughts by their elegance.
The big herring gulls are easily
known by their white heads and breasts,
their gray backs and feathers, with
black tips on the tail feathers. AS We
see them here, in their Winter costume,
the head and neck are generally barred
with gray
The ring-billed gulls are very similar,
but smaller, and their greenish-yellow
bills have band of black near the
end that Is tipped with orange. This
gull is, rather, bird of the salt lakes
Of the interior depressions Of the conti-
nent, than of the sea coast. 1t Is COM
mon in Spring and Fall, but few
usually Winter here.
Almost every year few examples
Of Bonaparts gull are seen. In its
Winter costume, this gull is pearly gray
on the back and wings, the head Is
white, with dusky spot on the cheeks
and tinge Of gray on the nape, while
| the under parts are white, tinged with
pink This small gull, breeding in
Manitoba. is primarily, perhaps, a
Great Lakes gull, but it Is seen spo-
radically In the District.

the petrels and the shearwaters that
I saw in midocean only a few months
ago. The gulls followed us from the
coast of Portugal all the way to the
Azores; but when at last we left the
islands, they turned back. Only as we
neared North America did another
flock come out to meet us. But on
the wild wastes of midocean. when the
boat rose and sank in the terrible pur-
suing hills and deathlike valleys of the
angry sea, the little dark terms, the
kittiwakes and the shearwaters still
followed us. They, indeed. were the
children of ocean. Gulls, I find, are
mere longshoremen. Every year, few
records for terms and these others are
established for the District fauna, but
they are few, and only great storm
is likely to toss them inland in any
numbers.

England William Ais is mentioned in
the Doomsday Book, and was progenitor
Of the Alises Of York and Kent
Counties.
One illllstrious ancestor Of the family
was Sir Archibald, who wrote himself
Ellys. daring soldier and crusader In
the time of Richard I. 1t was he who
is said to have been responsible for the
cross and crescents on the Ellis coat
this armor represents a Saracen maiden,
said to have been captured by Sir
Archibald and the crescents on the
shield signify his victories over the
Turks. This coat armor was borne by
the Ellises Of Essex and of Lancashire.
In later times Ellis became a COM
mon personal name in several coun-
tries. Consequently there are many
families of this name of entirely dis
tinct origin.
There were quite q number Of first
settlers in America during the period
o. colonization bearing the name of
Ellis, both in the New England settle

The treatment Of rheumatism con-
sists Of removing the infection-teeth,
tonsils, gall bladder-cutting down on
starchy foods, and the use Of hot
baths and exercise in some cases, and
Of hot baths only in others. The drug
treatment is still the "salicylates."
Nearly all "rheumatics" feel worse
in the morning and improve as the
day goes on, due to the increased ac-
tivity during the day which improves
the circulation Of the blood about the
joints.
Remember then that removing in
fected teeth or tonsils that is, getting
rid Of the infection, is only the first
step in treating rheumatism. Cutting
down on starches and improving the
circulation by massage and exercise
and the use of salicylates are the
second third and fourth steps.

Mole Cricket.

MOLE CTlCket.
Scrapteriscus Vicinus.
THIS very interesting immigrant
is q great crop destroyer. From
the southern border of Georgia to
Wilmington. N c. the Puerto
Rican mole cricket, also called the
ground puppy" is creeping about un-
der ground, making her tunnels as she
goes after food. Tobacco, peanuts,
grasses and truck crops are some OF her
favorite foods. The light soil in which
these plants are grown makes 1t easy
for her to ply her trade and make her
endless burrows.
Although this cricket belongs to the
same family as the famous cricket OF
the hearth and the field cricket, 1t is
only family resemblance. The name
mole comes from the velvety appear
ance Of the creature. This engineer Is
clothed in light brown, with under
parts still lighter and tinged with green.
The entire body Is covered with fine
hairs that makes it look like the famous
mole that goes about making tunnels.
The hind part of the crickets body is
soft, the chest and head are covered
with armor, used to push the dirt away
as the traveller goes about seeking food.
The front feet are shovel-shaped, stout
and short. They are very proficient
when it comes to digging away the dirt
from the seeds or plants that are be-
ing sought for their next meal.
The grown cricket has two pairs Of
wings, which are folded neatly along
the back. You can see the tips of the
hind wings. They reach beyond the tip
of the body, and look as If the lady was
in a hurry and forgot to tuck her
mighty" away. You have seen the
famous little ladybird beetle look that
way, too.
The mole cricket burrows under the
surface of the ground for about one or
two inches below the surface. The
ridges are like those of the true mole.

lings are uprooted and soon dry out and

though they go on and develop, they
are too badly pitted for the market,
Peanuts are especially sought after. and
