Strategic Uses of Double.
In contract it is so very important
to use strategy whenever you can do
so with some safety The double is
not confined to one-suited hands, as
you know. 1t is a tWo-edged sword
The adversaries do not know whether
you are trying to barricade them out
of game or whether you are tempt
ing them to overbid. Possibly you
have tremendous hand and are going
to hurl a second forcing bid at your
partner as soon as he has responded
to your double. Or you may have an
absolute psychic double, with safety in
a seven or eight card suit headed by
@ j. When you double, neither your
partner nor your opponents can know
the aim or type of your double unless
one of them has such a rock-crusher
himself that he can mark your double
as a psychic However. if the enemy
OyercOmeS your attempted strategic
interference and resume bidding and
get to game, do not insist further
unless you hold an out-and-cut freak.
You have hit; apparently, the hit
did not register; SO run. Do not give
up hope on that account. They may
still misplay the hand, either on ac-
count of your double or in spite Of 1t.
They do not necessarily know the type
Of your double even after subsequently
bidding to game against it. SO often
the declarer will play the hand un-
naturally because you doubled: he will
read you for all the missing honors
or for none; he will thus lose the
hand where normal, natural technique
of play would have fulfilled the con-
tract. If your interference bidding
has, apparently, failed to save the
hand for you by stopping game con-
tract, do not assume that the hand
is lost because, apparently. 1t had not
been won in the bidding. Do not
insist on assuming an unwarranted
sacrifice. Try to play the defense for
all it is worth. Your strategic double
may, after all, turn the trick for you
in the play of close hand. 1t often
does so for me.

something to take the place Of the

new living things. Little chicks are
Matched; plants sprout from the

after her Winter sleep.
The custom of coloring eggs goes
back hundreds of years, but no one
knows the exact date when it started.
In 1704, a Frenchman travelling in
Persia reported that the Persians were
in the custom of holding their New
Year feast on March 20 each year;
and that they gave one another pres
ents of colored eggs.
We may 90 back much further than
that, however. The folk Of olden
Egypt seem to have used the egg as a
sign Of Joy in a festival which took
place each year.
King Edward I ruled from 1912 to
1907; and record of his household
states that he purchased 450 eggs for
an Easter Sunday. The price paid
was "18 pence" Since an English
penny is about cents in our money.
we say that the King obtained 371z
dozen eggs for 36 cents. Thus he
paid less than a cent a dozen!
Speaking of custom among people
living near the Euphrates River,
writer states:
Their children buy themselves as
many eggs as they can, and stain
them with a red color " or green
and yellow The sport consists in
striking their eggs one against an
other. The egg that first breaks is
won by the owner Of the egg that
struck it."
An old custom in Russia was for
people to trade eggs on Easter day
A man would meet another, hand him
a colored egg and receive colored
egg in return.

HALIBUTERS ASK CHANGE MADE IN FISHING SEASON
Want Legal Catch Increas- ed, Arbitrary Size of
 Craft Removed

SEATTLE, Nov. 14-Halibuters appeared before the International Fisheries Commission here yester- day and urged that the legal catch limit of 46,000,000 pounds for the season be increased to 50.000,000 pounds and placed the proposal that the season be ended on the basis of clearance of fishing boats from ports rather than setting an arbitrary size to. the catch. |, During the past season fishing boats have been permitted to catch so many pounds per man on each craft and to take a 10-day lay-over between trips.
 The inference is given that fish ing craft should take as large a catch as possible and when the total legal catch is made, the sea- son will be ended.
 Fisheries Commissioner Bell said he would have to determine whether the latter proposal is possible under the treaty.
 Halibuters of Petersburg, Prince Rupert, Ketchikan, Vancouver and Seattle, attended the conference yesterday.

COMMISSIONER MULLEN
 SENDS OUT GASBOAT TO

With another hunting party re- ported overdue since November 10, U. s. Commissioner J. F. Mullen sent Wilfred Rice out in the gas boat Ace, yesterday afternoon to check up on several gasboat parties said to be missing or late in ar irving here.
 The party reported last today is that of Ed Skaret, who with Martin Wick, is said to have left Juneau on November to hunt in the vii cinity of Seymour Canal with the intention of returning here not later than November 10.
 Rice will watch along the shore and put into the various small bays where the boats might have laid up for shelter during the storm.

Forest Service here and now located in Portland, Oregon, and number of others. MT. Sperling met John Rustgard on the street in Minneapolis the day after the latter had arrived with Mrs. Rust gard, from Norway. The Rustgards were called back to the United States because of the death of Mrs. sister.
 Fine Roads, Good Weather
 Out of the 5000 miles they cov- cred by motor. all roads were either oiled or paved with the ex- ception of about 150 miles Of gravel highways, MT. Sperling said. Fine weather and perfect per- formance on the part of their car added greatly to the enjoyment Of the vacation and they only had one puncture.
 It was the first trip MT. and Mrs. Sperling had made south for seven years, and they both de- clared that it even exceeded expec- tations in enjoyment, though they were satisfied to return home and, of course, pleased to see their four children who had remained behind with relatives.

MT. andMrs. Harry Sperling Back After Motoring

Harry Sperling, Administrative Assistant for the United States Forest Service headquarters here, and Mrs. Sperling, returned yes-s terday from a vacation trip in the States on which they have been since leaving here August 20. They covered approximately 5000 miles in their motor car, which they had shipped south and travelled as far east as Boston, Massachu- sets.
 After picking up their car in Seattle, MT. and Mrs. Sperling motored east by way of Yellow stone National Park where they spent some time before continuing to Minneapolis, Minnesota to visit MT. Sperling's family for ten days. From Minnesota they continued to Chicago, and spent week in the city, most of which they put in at the Century of Progress Exposi- tion. They found the Alaska Ex- hibit most interesting and the cen ter of much attention. Though it was small, it was attractively ar ranged, very compact and quite representative, MT. Sperling said.
 From Chicago, they continued east, visiting New York City Bos- ton and Washington, DC. for a week or ten days each before heading West to San Francisco. While in Washington, D. C., they stayed with MT. and Mrs. Ray Taylor, formerly located in Ju- neau and MT. Sperling was on of- ficial detail with the U. s. Forest Service office there for about ten

Having had such a horSey
weekend, am going to take q
rest today and tell you about
some other things in Virginia.
Last week was garden week in
this state. So many lovely gar
dens open to the public, you
Just couldn't decide which was
the most beautiful. Each one
different, and when yov.r would
think as you went along that
nothing could be lovelier than
this one you would go and find
that there was something love-
her. Go and see some of these
gardens if you haven't already
been, for although Garden Week
Is over the gardens are still
aglow, and you can get into
most of them.
Down on the James River I
think the gardens are the most
beautiful. WeStover, and its gar
dens and spacious grounds takes
your breath with it's beauty. But
to my mind Shirley is the place
that like best. Not altogether
because it belonged to the Car
ters and still is in that family,
but because of all the old places
1t is the only one that has not
been changed from the wav it
used to be, and who is the per-
con that is not fascinated and
thrilled by old places? They in
Spire all of us. Shirley, the
lovely name makes you want to
90 there. The magnificent tall
lockwood with it's walks and the
heavenly borders of all colored
flowers beneath this box, the
lawn sweeping down to the river,
and then the house, so beau
Eiful. With it's woodwork and old
brick such a color that you just
know there is warmth within.
When you get inside, the flying
staircase is without exception
the loveliest I have ever seen, a
stairway that architects clamor
to copy. The old color of the
white paint that many try to
get. Furniture, portraits and old
silver that have been there for
generations. The horse hair
sofas. and the enormous old lock
on the front door. If you like
old things, see this lovely Shir.
ley. Up here in Loudoun
county there are many gardens
that you will want to see, too.
I like the garden at Oat-
lands best. This house was
BUILT by Carter too, and the
garden laid out by George Car
ter, but really this is not the
only reason I like it best. The
archway of lockwood and the
old stone steps down into the
garden will make any of you
love it. Now walk on down to
the old vault surrounded by
tall lockwood trees, where the
George Carter, who buinlt the
place, and all of his family
were buried, with the name
Carter on the old rusty ivy
covered iron door. If you sit
here for a little while and look
