Conquering Contract
BY p. HAL SIMS.

fears that West will run off six or
seven diamond tricks AS a matter OF
fact, West goes down either two or
three tricks, depending upon the de-
fense. If South has bid her clubs,
she might have felt a trifie more Sc
cure.
Ninth. A poor double. West Ger
tainly gives North good opportunity
to make the contract-both by her
no-trump bidding and by the double.
North proceeded to play the hand
like an old master. He got an opening
lead of the king of diamonds and
trumped in dummy. He then led a
small heart and took the jack hnesse'
which held. The queen of clubs was
returned. West won with the ace and
banged back a diamond. Mr.. Aggres-
sive played low and trumped in dunn
my for the second time.
The king Of clubs was now led. fol-
lowed bv a small club. which North
trumped. A small spade was led and
taken with the king in dummy. North
had feared that West held all of the
outstanding trumps. When East fol-
lowed on the same lead, his task was
easier.
A high club was led from dummy.
West trumped with the ten OF spades.
North refused to overtrump-olscaro.,
ing a small diamond. West continued
with the queen of spades. North took
the trick with the ace. BY this time
he had a count on the West hand-at
least he hoped he had. He figured
West for four-three-th -three-three
distribution. Therefore, he confidently
led the ace of diamonds and his last
spade, throwing West in the leao'
West was thus forced to lead away
from her king-ten Of hearts, giving
North the last two tricks.
You could have played that mana
a lot safer by overruffing on the club
lead and trumping your last diamond
in dummy" remarked South.

Uncle Ray
Dust Storms and Simoons.

n ILLIONS of persons in the
MI United States and Canada
wv learned something about
4 L dust storms during May and
June, If they did not know
about them before. The winds picked
up dust from centers of the drought
area and carried it hundreds of miles
dumping it on many cities and vii
lagos.
Much dust came from soil composed
Of powdered granite, and such dust
did severe damage TO growing plants
and to pasture land.
Our dust storms have been bad
enough, but worse ones take place
in desert areas. In Arabia and in
Northern Africa desert travellers
fear the "simoon,' hot windstorm
which carries great masses of dust
and sand.
During such a storm the sky may
become purple at midday. The wind
burns as though it came from an
even and whirls at high speed.
Travellers seeing such storm COM
ing toward them, get down from their
camels and make ready to guard
themselves. They place cloth over
their faces to keep from breathing

them in a heavy shower.
The unhappy people feel as though
they are choking to death. 1t is a
time of agony. II the storm passes
within a few minutes, as it usually
does, the danger is not great; but If
it lasts half an hour or longer, it may
bring death.
The name simeon" came from an
old Arab word meaning Ito poison. "
The storms are most common during
Spring and Summer.
Europe sometimes feels a result of
simoons. Dust and sand clouds may
be carried northward by winds until
they are above Italy. Spain, France,
Germany and Great Britain.
February 81 and February %, 1884
are famed because on those dates red
rains" fell in Great Britain and on
parts of the continent Of Europe.
Study proved that the redness was
due to dust carried from Northern
Africa. 1t was figured that several
million pounds of dust had fallen in
this manner. AT other times rains
have taken yellow dust and sand to
Europe from the Sahara.
During the ages winds carry so
much dust from one place to another
as to make great change in the soil.

Turn About
BY EMILY POST.

DEAR Mrs. Post: Among the rules
- published at a private camp l
stayed in last Summer was this one:
Upon finishing eating, place knife and
fork together on plate, fork prongs
down I thought this wrong but the
hostess explained that prongs turned
up signified that one wished another
serving. 'Prongs turned down let the
walters know one had finished Is this
true?"
Answer: 1t must be rule of that
particular camp. Although not rule
Of great importance prongs properly
are left up.
Dear Mrs Post: I would like to
have your opinion on something that
happened many weeks ago, which has
been the subject Of much discussion.
I had accepted an invitation to a din
ner party, and at noon Of that same
day received unexpected motoring
guests from many miles away, who
| were to be with us only a very short
time. ordered flowers for my dinner
hostess at once, and incloSed card
explaining that I could not come, ask
ing her forgiveness. The flowers were
unfortunately late in reaching her,
and she Immediately tied up the box
again and sent them back to me with
the word thanks written on my card.
We have not spoken to this day. and
probably never will unless you tell me
which Of us was wrong. and how 1.
on my part, can help to mend our
broken friendship"
Answer: The fact that your former
friend behaved with inexcuSable rude
ness in sending back your flowers does
not alter the fact that she had every
right to resent your last-minute de-
sertion Of her dinner. The only pos
sible excuse for breaking a dinner or
lunch party engagement is serious ill
neSs-or death. Properly, you should
have told your unexpected guests that
you had made a previous engagement
to dine. and no matter how much you
hated to leave them, you owed it to
your dinner hostess to go.
Whether your friendship can ever
be mended depends most of all. per-
haps, upon how much it meant to
both Of YOU The first move toward
reconciliation would be a note of
apology for rudeness that you had not
| intended. In return, she should
apologize for her diScourtesy in regard
| to your flowers. Even if she does not,
| and your friendship remains broken.
your note will have at least helped to
assuage your own conscience.

fishermen claim that the favor is far
superior to that of the pompano. This
is. indeed, an admission.
In case you wish to identify your
fish at the first sight of him on your
next tropical fishing trip. you will, OF
course. look for his high brows," his
moonlike contour and his silvery
mother of pearl sides. There are
many lovely moonfishes, so be sure
and make your mental picture clear.
On very bright moonlight nights
one Of the most thrilling experiences

Everyday Psychology
BY DR.. JESSE w. SPROWLs
Describe Your Own Mind,

ALMOST every one would like to
know his or her own mind. But
very few know how to 60 about ind
ing out what it is. The way to tnd
out about your mental makeup is to
study it for yourself No one can
possibly tell you as much as you can
find out for yourself. One way is to
write out descriptions of your expert
ences and then try to explain how
they happened to come. Here are
some suggestions:
/. Do you get discouraged eosily?
TRY to remember what was happening
when YOU have felt that way.
2. Have you ever felt that you might
t,lnp off when crossing a high, mar
row bridge? Ii you have had such
an experience, how can you account
for it?
3. Do you feel uneasy when sitting
In a small room with the door closed?
If so, how much of that can you
ascribe to your childhood fears, pun
ishments, or general living conditions?
4. Do you dread the sight Of a
snake? If so, how much of hat can
you lay at the door of stories about
snakes? Or how much to the snakes
tongue? Or how much to its unique
mode of travel?
When you have an idea or feeling,
try to determine what preceded it..
You will soon learn something about
your mental makeup, which is largely
a matter of precedents.

HAPPY vacation to the junior
n miss means a bountiful supply
N of all kinds of clothes to see
u her in and out of every Sum-
mer festivity offered to her
for consideration. Our current sea-
son is generous with its fashion Of
ferines to the socially ambitious young.
Many of the most attractive designs
combine practical details with simple
ones so that even the most restricted
budget can usually be stretched to
include a few simple but distinctive
frocks that will practically make
good time
A little model that young debs and
their sub-siSters are finding useful, as
well>as ornamental. is pictured IN the
sketch. 1t is made of sheer dlmlty
figured with multicoloreo flowers that
seem to have a particular affinity for
the gaiety of youth, and therefore are
especially attractive when allied to
designs that depend for trimming upon
gathered ruff1es and ribbon accents.
The major part of the dress is cut
on a straight grain-line, and can
therefore be tubbed regularly, ana
kept well pressed between times With
out serious difficulty.
In spite of its simplicity, this frock
has a decorative value that can be
further enhanced by different sets OF
accessories. such as garden hats, fan
ciful gloves and openwor< sandals OF
the semi-dreSsy, coiorful type. Many
girls. when they find a style that ap-
peals to them, are having two dresses
Of the same design. made in distinctly
different fabric patterns. usually a
light one and its opposite. When
accessories are chosen that will go
with both. they manage to evolve very
satisfactory effects of variety and
opulence. The materials favored for
these semi-dressy frocks are eyelet
batiste, f1owered dimity printed Inen'
starched lace and figured lawn.

Mignonette, an old-time fav-
orite, which is grown for its
fragrance. is one of several plants
that dislike being moved, for
which reason the seed should
be Sown where it is to flower.
Morever, the blooming season is
comparatively short, so that two
or three successive Sowings at
short intervals must be made to
keep a supply of mignonette COM
ing along all Summer. 1t is a
heavy feeder and bone meal or
pulverized sheep manure should
be mixed into the soil around the
plants. Watering with liquid
manure is beneficial after the
buds show. The best flowers will
come after the weather gets cool,
but the fragrance of mignonette
is very persistent, even in the
Summer, and the flowers last a
week when cut.
