Conquering Contract
BY p. HAL SIMS.

That's the only way the hand could
have been Set." In the interests Of
the Committee on Bridge Rules, I
must state that such unwillingness to
pay a penalty is to be deplored. How
ever, feel the same sympathy for the
declarer in that case that do for a
person who slips on banana peel.
It's very funny, at times.
Instead of calling for lead when
an opponent leads out of turn, the
declarer may treat the card led 81 an
exposed card and forbid the partner of
the offender to lead that suit when it
is his turn to lead.
Give up this habit Of playing before
your partner. If the declarer knows
his rule book, he can make your part
ner play either the highest or the
lowest card he holds in the suit led;
or, if he has no cards of that suit, to
discard from a named suit; or win the
trick by trumping; or not to win the
trick. If the declarer has played from
dummy, however, you can play before
your partner, and he can't do a thing
about it.
These same penalties may be i'm
posed, if you in any way direct your
partners attention to the trick be-
fore he has played on it. You may
properly ask, Are you going to wait
all night? It's your turn to play"
But you can't say in a significant
tone, That's my ace Of clubs.
partner"
If you are rushing to catch a train
to Bronxville, and have to leave be-
fore the end of the rubber, you play
what is known as a railroad rubber
(the term is very appropriately. The
side that has game adds 300 points
to their score.
Toward the end of the play, you
may discover that you have seven
cards, whereas every one else has six.
You might as well announce it then
and there. The matter is bound to
come out, unless you can in some way
manage to eat your surplus card. One
of your opponents may then demand
a new deal. If he does not care to do
this, due to the fact that he is well on
his way to making six spades, doubled
and redoubled, a card must be re-
moved from your hand. If practicable,
this card should be one you might
have played to the defective trick.
In the event that you find yourself
playing the hand with less cards than
any one else, the missing card must
be looked for-under the table, in the
quilted tricks. or up some ones sleeve.
If it is finally discovered that the
baby walked off with it, at the be-
ginning of the deal, you must restore
the card to the deficient hand. If you
find the card in a quilted trick. and
you can't decide which card is super
f1uous, then you can give any card to
the deficient hand.

Laws of Contract.

1HERE seems to be some con-
fusion about the bid out of
turn. There are two provinces
L to this law. depending on
whose turn it was to bid when
you made your illegal call. If it was
the turn of your partner or the op-
ponent on your left to bid. that op-
ponent may demand new deal. If
he elects to let the deal stand, your
bid is ignored, and the auction pro-
ceedS as if it had not been made
Now, let's assume that you bid, when
it was the turn of the opponent on
your right to call. The bidding re-
verts to him; you can bid again, but
your partner has to pass on the next
round This is the same penalty that
is imposed for an insufficient bid. If
the opponent to your left overcalls.
however, your bid stands. There is
no penalty for pass out of turn.
If you happily reopen the bidding,
when the auction has been closed, the
declarer can call lead from your
partner the first time that it is his
turn to lead For any other sort of
illegal bid. such as doubling when
your partner has already doubled. un-
less it is evident that the call is made
in the spirit of sheer fun, the op-
pOnent to your left may ask for a new
deal or simply disallow your bid. I
saw hand played once where this
calling for lead proved boomerang
The wrong opponent laid down the
ace Of clubs. Declarer, after much
thought, called for heart lead Il

ponent, who had been muttering dark
ly about sticklers for rules. I'm lead

Little Benny.
BY LEE PAPE.

WE WAS eating supper, being liver
and onions in pops honor, and
ma said, After all you cant beet Doc
tor Marony's sistim.
I don't bleeve I ever tried to. what
sistim's that? pop said, and she said,
It's the sistem your own dawter is
bringing up your grandson on, it's
Doctor Luella Marony's New Era
sistem of child reering. Anyway we
used 1t to very good effect this after
noon to cure little Willie of one of his
most annoying habits, namely his lit
tie habit of playfully jumping out at
people from behind doors to scare
them. 1t doesn't sound like much,
! admit. ma said.
1t sounds like plenty to me, pop
said, and ma said, Well I must say 1t
had Gladdis on the outermoSt edge of
a nerviss brakedown, and 1t also
caused her cook to stop threatening
to hand in her resignation and to
axually and bodily resign in person.
So you can see it was getting to be
a serious matter, but both Gladdis
and were opposed to whipping Willie
because DR.. Marony explicitly states
in her book that all corrective meas
ures must take the form OF some
practical example, ma said.
I'd give him practical example, I'd
scare him within an intch of his life,
pop said, and ma said, We tried to,
but he wouldn't scare werth flea.
His little nerves seem to be made OF
iron, in fact he just seemed to think
it was funny when we jumped out at
him. But the problem solved itself
with the aid of DR.. Marony when
Willie jumped out at his father as
Harvey was letting himself in the
house with his door key. Both Gladdis
and I rushed at Harvey just in time
and convinced him that he mustn't
fly in Dr. Marony's face by whipping
Willie and Harvey said, All rite, I'll
give him a practical example, I'll
show him that fear makes men dan
gerous and irresponsible. And he
grabbed a strap and started to chase
Willie about the house yelling, I'm
out of my head with fear and don't
know what I'm doing. And by the
time the strap had made several
paneful landings Willie gave up and
promised never to do it agan, and
the bewty of it is, it was all done
according to DR.. Marony, ma said.
Pop not saying anything till he got
behind the sporting page and then

en- route to another clump of grass.
Why they do not eat all they need i'll
one spot is a mystery. They go gall
wanting from one place to another.
An authority says they have been dis
turbed by something and the fight Is
one of self preservation.
Upon investigation the injury these
insects inflict upon grains and grasses
have been much greater than the
damage to vineyards and roSebushes.
Yet the loss to the grapevines and
the rosebushes has been a serious
thing. We are not in the habit of
paying much attention to anything
unless we are affected by it.
The insect is far too small to at
tract attention-untn he takes fly
ing leap and lands on us or strikes
us in the face as he rushes past. In
fact, the way to appreciate his color
ing, form and general makeup Is to
examine him under a magnifying
glass. His eyes have an amused ex-
preston, his antennae are inserted.
The little fellow is long and slender.
rather spindle-shaped. After hearty
meal, he is more plump. The wings
| and back are marked in an unusual
manner, with yellow and red. In the
Winter the red is richer color and
dark. In the Spring, after the sleeper
has again taken nourishment, the reds
have slowly turned to light lemon
yellow The darker markings, to be
found on the fully grown leap hop
pers, vary so much that II distinct
varieties are now known.
The leaf hoppers are great drinkers.
They suck the life blood from their
host plants. Of course, a plant, de-
prived of its own nourishment, turns
yellow. withers and drops away. One
way you may track the rascal is TO
look closely at the plant that appears
to be supplying him with food. You
may see many cast-of coats, thin,
paper-like skins, the hopper has out
grown. Now you have located the lit
tie villain, and knowing that he Is
addicted to drinking the juices Of the
leaf. the thing to do is to prepare
mixture for his offspring.
It is difficult to fight the adults. A
spray strong enough to kill these fel-
lows, who are protected by their wings.
would also be strong enough to injure
the plant. Therefore, the only way
to hamper the active fellows is to use
a spray gun on the youngsters.
Another thing you must do to get
them is to wet the lower surface of
the leaf. This is the place the little
rogues hide away and pump the leaf.
Tobacco extract, mixed with water
and a small cake of soap, offers a
dose bad enough to discourage any in
sect. The mixture seems to give the
wee drinkers the "tummy ache" and
they lose all interest in life In a short
time. 1t is question of roses, grapes
or grains in preference to the leaping
hordes of insects, and this seems to be
the only way we have to protect the
results of our labors.

Leaf Hoppers.
Cicadellidae.

"HESE powerful leapers are about
as annoying as any of the in
sect tribe. The family is a
i large one and has considerable
economic importance. The
members of this family are not large,
they are pestiferous. They can get
to SO many places in such a short
time, too. They have but one idea, to
get some other place.
You have met some member of this
family. There are more than 700
species. They travel all over the United
States and Canada, in fact, you can
hardly get away from them.
There are many plants that appeal
to these creatures. Garden, orchard
and vineyard are their happy hunting
grounds, but they become most de-
structive as pests of grain and grasses
Did you ever try to take a rest on
the lovely cool grass? Have you noticed
how quickly you became the target of
little pests that insisted on using some
part of you as spring board? The
chances are one or several of these
high jumpers merely landed on you

Night Gown De-igned for Larger Woman
Model Sketched Is Remarkable
for Fewest Seam Lines Con-
sistent With Charm.
By BARBARA BELL.

THE hot nights of Summer call
for bountiful supply of plain
nightgowns, made of cool ma
L terial which launders with the
least possible effort. Simplicity
of cut is recommended as one OF the
outstanding qualifications for gar
ments that are in daily use.
The model sketched is remarkable
in that it is made with the feWest
seamlines consistent with charm. The
neckline is fairly high, so as not to
slide off at the shoulders, and the
yoke is of lace, arranged to relieve the
gown of its severity and put 1t in
step with the more elaborate ones in
your wardrobe.
Women whose figures appear to
have been cast in a heroic mold al
ways have difficulty getting undergar-
ments that are cut with an amplitude
that provides freedom and comfort.
That the lingerie designers have at
last given thought to their needs is
matter for rejoicing. We find that 1t
IS no longer necessary to pay an ex-
orbitant price for extra large sizes
since the demand for them is bring
ing its own solution in the current Of
fering of new styles and size ranges.
Materials of every quality and color
are used in underwear this season.
Cotton batiste and handkerchief linen
rank among the luxuries, with satin
following; crepe de chine, synthetics
and various cotton sheers steer an
even course. Plisse crepe-that little
sister of seersucker-iS also popular;
it requires no ironing, just a pulling
into shape, a quality greatly appre-
ciated by women to whom time is an
object.
Barbara Bell pattern No. 1341-B is
designed in sizes SO to So. Sizes SO,
38 and 40 each require 31s yards of
either 35 or 80 inch material, q yard
of all-over lace for yoke (optionaD,
"a yards of ribbon
Every Barbara Bell pattern includes
an illustrated instruction guide that
is easy to follow.
