How 1t Started
BY JEAN NEWTON.
Rigmarole.

THERE are many things which are
properly characterized as rigma-
role: A long -Vinded harangue Of little
importance or meaning: an inter-
minable. rambling discourse; sue
cession Of unconnected or incoherent
statements: senseless. time-consuming
and energy -dissipating procedure.
Rigmarole is a corruption and sur
vival of Ragman's Roll, phrase con-
notating list" or catalogue" and
which went out of literary use about
1900
Ragman is said to have been the
colloquial name by which the English
statute identified as Edward I. was
known.

West opened the three of hearts.
Declarer went right up with the ace
in dummy and promptly led the deuce
of clubs and played the ten-spot from
his own hand. West played low.
whereupon declarer shot the jack of
clubs. which West won with the ace.
Another heart was played, and the
declarer ruffed In his own hand, and
while it appeared likely that the hand
would now be a laydown for five, de-
larer was careful to trump with the
eight of spades, thereby conserving his
six-spot, a card lower than dummy's
seven.
Declarer now laid down the ace 'of
spades, and when West showed out.
he realized that his wisdom in con-
serving the six-spot Of spades was
going to be rewarded. Accordingly, he
led the king of diamonds. West won
with the ace and played another heart,
which declarer ruffed with the nine of
trumps, still saving the six.
A low diamond was now led, East
won with the nine and led the three
of trumps. Now the six-spot of spades
was played and overtaken by dummy's
seven and the king of clubs led. East
promptly ruffed with tie five Of
spades, but it did him no good; de-
clarer ruffed with the king Of trumps
and led the ten up to dummy's queen.
This drew East's last trump and
dummy's two clubs were now good for
the ninth and tenth tricks.
1t will be noted that had declarer
failed to save his six-spot he would
have been unable to get into dummy
with the seven and would have lost
the hand.

The Old Gardener SAYS:

Hollyhocks are ld-fashioned
flowers, but they never lose their
charm. They are much in favor
for growing in front of walls or
buildings, but unfortunately they
are very susceptible to a kind Of
rust which disflgures the leaves
and causes them to drop. Various
remedies have been recommended.
but careful experiments seem TO
prove that finely pulverized sui
phur will give the best results. It
should be busted onto the plants
and on the ground under them
every 10 days throughout the
Summer. It is advisable to use
dusting gun, which will make it
possible for the operator to apply
the dust to the under part Of the
leaves as well as on top. Constant
dusting is the price of good holly

WASHINGTON, April %. (UP)
The new naval program of two
battleships and II light cruisers
suggested by Admiral William H.
STANDBY, chief of operations,
should strengthen the fleet in two
vital but very different fields of
war.
Both classes represent ships of
which the United States has built
few in recent years and in which,
from the navy departments point
of view, America is deficient on
the sea.
If Standby should have his way
the present session of congress
would authorize the battleships
and appropriate some $4,000 900
to start them. He is not hopeful
of starting the cruiser program
until next year, then laying down
three a year for four years. The
latter would be of the light cruz
ser" classroom 5000 to 5000
tons, mounting 6.1-inch guns.
FLEET OF 1912 SURVEYED
With the completion of this
program and other ships now
building the United States would
have by 1912 a fleet Of warships
of the following numbers and
purposes:
Battleships: II. 1t is the mis-
sion of these great FLOATING fort
rcsscs," their tonnage varying
from 10000 to $4,000, to meet
the enemy in battle on the high
seas and attempt to destroy his
forces. They are comparatively
slow in speed, about % knots on
the average, but have powerful
guns IL to 16 inches, and thick
armor. In a "knock-down fight" y
no other class of ships can stand
up against them.
Aircraft carriers: 7. This post
war type of vessel, carrying great
ly in tonnage (from 1850 to
$1,000 in the u. S. navy, car
ries a brood of planes which may
be used to locate the enemy fleet,
attack it from the air Or bomb
coastal cities.
Cruisers: so. These fall into
two classes-light, from 5000 to
5000 tons, mounting 6.1-inch
guns; heavy, around 10 600 tons,
mostly carrying 8-inch guns. Both
classes have the same mission: to
form the second line behind bat
tleships in fleet. engagements;
second, and more important, to
raid enemy commerce and protect
America S own. The heavy cruiser
is superior only in that it has a
longer cruising range and, natur-
ally, can defeat ship with light
err armament if they engage IN
battle. During recent, years Amer
lea has specialized in the 10. 900
ton class, although nine of the
lighter ships now are being built
and STANDBY advocates II more.

commerce and search out subma-
rines for attack. Although their
armament usually prevents them
from engaging in a successful

docs.
