HOMES the time every year when VI many of us make for the sea- shore for cool breezes, swimming, calling, motor0oating, fishing. and the many other pleasures that so with . sojourn by the sea.
 Any one can enjoy this fun with. out camera, but verify to so to the seashore and return without having made . picture-story of your visit seems as useless as trying to write e book about 1t with water for ink. When you have finished, your mem. ory may retain some of it for a time, but eventually. you remember little else than the fact that you went there. Years later you will say. "Yes, Lhad c good tim. that summer" but what did you do. whom were you with, what did you see? Bet c mil. lion that with nothing in your snap. shot album to show for 1t, you will remember scarcely anything of the details of that good time. and re. gretfully wish you could.
 Anothsr reason for taking your camera to the seashore is that where, the sea 10. with'its bright rehecting waters, you have exceptional chaacea for making Ina pictures.

TWO CHANCES TO

Cambridge, Mass. July s.-(UP) --only a U. s. supreme court de- cision or executive clemei.cy can avert the first execution of . father and son in Massachusets history :, The son, Anthony Di Stasio, 23, of Revere, was sentenced yesterday by Superior Judge Thomas H. Dowd to die in the electric chair during the week of September l2.

At Hartford, Q delegation rom the 30 musicians discissed from music projects there, called on Mayor Thomas J. Spellacy. The Hartford mayor promised to con- fer today with Mrs. Ethel Edwards, supervisor of Federal Recreation Projects at New Haven, and Francis Goodwin, II, local supervisor.
 Similar protest Is forming at New Haven where the band and orches- tra have been curtailed to five musi- clans to function as a dance orr cf1estra.
 Discrimination
 Heads of park departments, here and at Hartford, questioned the ap- parent discrimination shown by WPA heads in eliminating bands while retaining symphony orches- tras. The feeling was that the orchestras gave only infrequent con- certs that reached comparatively few audiences, whereas, the bands have become definite parts of the recreational programs of the cities, particularly during summer months.
 Present plans of state WPA heads call for retaining the Bridgeport symphony orchestra intact and for no cuts in the personnel of the Stamford band.
 No official protest has been made yet by Iccal musicians but they have been advised to take the mat ter to Mayor Hayes or to the New Haven directors of the project. Ear Her in the week a delegation from the musicians called on William M. Harris. executive secretary of Lin- coln House. who had charge of the band when it was formed several years ago under Mutual Aid Unem- ployment Fund auspices.
 Band Needed
 Tracing the history of the WPA band, Mir. Harris outlined the serv- ice 1t has performed at hundreds of public functions, at park affairs. at all civic entertainments. He de- plored its disruption, saying:
 This is a season when the band Is needed most and it's park con- certs have been an important fac- tor in drawing people to the out of doors. Tn a city such as Water bury, with it's industrial makeup. the park programs and band coz. certs have made for a healthier co immunity
 ''Those who work all day indoors need to get out" he continued. Whole families, as many as 5000 Q 5000 persons. have assembled for tho band concerts in the past It is highly unfortunate that this en- teitainmcnt should be denied them merely for the small saving involy- cd in a program which has cost the taxpayers into the billions"
 Concerts Scheduled
 The 10 members of the band re- talned to form dance orchestra are expected to fulfill the enter tainment program of the band which called for more than 20 con- certS at city parks this summer. as well as musical programs at several pageants and at baseball games. This program. various officials feel. an orchestra cannot perform as, es-

 Mr. Harris expressed the hope that some way would be found to keep the band intact so that. cven- tually. and with the sanction of city officials. 1t might become a per- manent organization supported by municipal appropriation or popular subscription. No action on this phase of the matter has been taken yet. however.
 The band will fill It's park en- agreements through Monday night although the last week of payment for services from WPA funds ends tomorrow. Final checks to the dropped musicians will be dated July l2. 1t was announced at New Haven.

Usually by the sea even on cloudy days you have more light to work with than inland. The extra light gives you opportunity to "stop down" (use a smaller lens opening) and thereby obtain sharp. clear.cut details.
 Also there is no better place for interesting action pictures than . summer seaside resort. considering the many varieties of speed and motion that are in evidence-from sea snails to sea planes, not forget ting the high divi. "a nymphs. In fact, except for the beach itself and the hotels, cottages and wharves, everything seems to be in motion. Of course, if you want close. ups of fast action you should be equipped with e fast camera, but don't forget that splendid work with many seaside scenes Is done with an inexpensive fixed focus camera. If it is rapid motion such as an approach. ing motorboat, shoot from an angie at distance of 75 to 100 feet and usually you get 1t without blur. Then have an enlargement made when you get home.

Business of Eating At
 Odd Houses

Business Of Eating At
 Odd Houses
 There will be no special room to be designated and used exclusively as dining room at Odd House. Oh, we enjoy eating well enough, too we'll perhaps, and that is one reason why there will be no dining room. The space slavish builders usually give to the dining room will be used for the library at Odd House. Contrasted with the forbid ding austerity of the conventional dining room an honest-to-goodness library with real books, globe, dic- tionary, encyclopedia, maps and the like, makes an ideal place to en- certain dinner guests. And heaven forbid that any guest at Odd House shall ever be baited with finger bowl or dolly.
 At one end of the kitchen space nearly or quite the size of the kit chen proper will be reserved for the everyday business of eating-Snacks, lunches, breakfasts, dinners when just ourselves or intimate friends arc dining. While it is possible of course to serve a good meal in a starchy dining-room extravagantly and imposingly fitted with impedi- menta and Whatnots, I cannot re- call ever having enjoyed feed ill such an environment. Maybe this is merely because I'd rather not remember such occasions-anyWay, you can see why there shall be no dining room at Odd House. This end of the kitchen to be used for the business of eating will open upon whatever pleasant outdoor aS- pect, patio, garden or yard the building plot affords; so that we may have coffee or the whole meal served out there or the hired man can enjoy his crackers and milk out there between games, so to speak. Games of what? Never mind, you wouldn't know unless you have played the ancient game of bowls in serious way.
 Whether the fuel used for cook ing is coal, wood, kerosene, gaso- line, charcoal or gas. the stove will be covered by the ample cowl with a vent passing straight up from the cowl out through the roof to the open air, to carry products of com- bustion, smoke, fumes, steam and odors out of the house. If the vent pipe cannot pass straight up high enough to insure a good updraft. a suction fan will be installed in it to draw the vapors and odors out of the kitchen.
 All taps or faucets in the kitchen sink, as throughout Odd House, will be operated by foot pedal.
 All coffee grounds will be emp tied down the kitchen sink drain

and a generous amount of it, too. The most attractive mature women are those who walk lightly and who do not feel like grooming every time they have to get up quickly or are faced with the necessity of climb ing a flight of stairs. Exercise, and only exercise, keeps waistline and leg muscles slender and prevents neck and arms from looking flab- by. And it's sad but true that walk ing about the house and doing reg ular household duties do not pro- vide the right kind of exercise.
 Plain ordinary stretching is good for the waistline and arms and it does improve posture. Certainly there is no one who does not have the time or energy to stretch and yawn before getting out of bed and to stretch five or six times during the day. This won't keep you slim. but it will ward off middle-aged stiffness about your middle.

 Potatoes just shut their eyes to all that's being written about their fattening qualities and their large content of starchiness. They know they have won 8 permanent place in the hearts of their fellow coun- trymen, so they roll over with bore dom under the attacks and wait for the cook to call them to the pot.
 Mashed potatoes are almost an American obsession. But not all Americans know how to use them relocated.
 Cheese Potatoes
 A to 6 servings)
 One tablespoon butter, 1 cup top milk, cups cold mashed potatoes, 2 eggs, 1-2 teaspoon salt, l-2 cup grated cheese, dash paprika.
 Melt butter. Add to butter half of the milk and all the mashed potatoes. Beat until the mixture is light and creamy. Then beat eggs and stir into potatoes with remaining milk, salt and grated cheese. Pour this mixture into well-buttered one-quart oval shall low glass baking dish. Sprinkle with paprika and bake in moderate oven (350 degrees FL about 40 min- utes, until golden brown. Serve from same dish.
 Every nation brides itself on its own particular potato salad Amer jeans are not silent in the boastful matter. Shelia Hibben. who was called to the White House four years ago to give the executive menus more national touch, wrote this potato salad recipe into her justly called National Cook Book. |"
 National Potato Salad
 Four medium sized potatoes, l cup chopped celery, hard boiled egg, mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons capers, teaspoon onion juice, salt and pepper, 3 tablespoons French dresisng, 2 tablespoons chopped parsley.
 Boil potatoes in their jackets, and while hot peel and slice them with silver knife. Potato salad should never be made from left over potatoes! AS soon as the po- tatoes are cool, pour the French dressing over them; sprinkle with parsley, mix with fork, and set in refrigerator to marinate for one half hour. Add celery, enough may onnaise, sliced hard cooked egg, onion juice, capers. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper, and mix lightly with fork to avoid break ing the potato slices. Serve in a mound on crisp lettuce leaves. A little green pepper may be added to the salad.
 When you don't feel like cook ing, remember that heated potato chips can be served with cold cuts on meat for an excellent hot night supper.

Often declarer's count of probable tricks, after the opening lead is made and the dummy spread, is affected by the problem as to wheth- CT he can dictate which of his op- ponents shall win certain losing trick or tricks. Usually this prob lem is acute when the declarer holds weakly guarded king, which is in danger of being cautured if led through.
 The correct solution of the prob lem, ever present at the bridge ta' ble, enabled Jack Moore of New York, in a recent duplicate game at the Gotham Bridge club, to full fill a contract which others with the same cards failed to make.

The authorities warn against over-doing the business of active sports to the point where you be- come too muscular, of course. They simply advise their clients, especial ly the ones to whom setting-up ex- ercises are anathema, to swim, play tennis, golf and badminton, or any other sport which is enjoyable. Ol- der and less energetic customers are told to take long, brisk walks.
 If you do not have access to golf course, tennis court or beach, use your Imagination to figure out some kind of exercise that will keep your skin and muscles firm and young and at the same time be fairly amusing to do. How about skipping rope in the backyard or, if you like, right in the house? Or borrowing your sons bicycle for an hour a day? Or learning to enjoy a brisk walk? Or re-budgeting your movie and candy money to allow for a couple of swims a week in pool? Whether she wants to lose weight or not, every woman needs exercise

be discarded on dummys strong diamonds.
 One club trick had to be lost and perhaps a spade. To lose two heart tricks, as probably would happen if East gained the lead, would be fatal
 The club suit was continued; South won with the ace, and led low spade to dummy's king. Spades were returned and the nine finessed. West failed to follow.
 Dummy was re-entered with a diamond and another spade finesse permitted the capture of East's four trumps without the loss of trick
 The play of the nine to the sec- ond spade trick was absolutely cor rect. South could afford to lose a trump trick. if West won it. He could not afford to lose to East and still have a fair chance to make his contract, as Vests bid clearly marked the acc and queen Of hearts in his hand

Your Children
By Olive Roberts Barton

eff only I had the children to myself" says Mrs. A, T could get along beautifully. But what can one do with the whole neighborhood running in and out all the day? That's why I dread vacation"
 Well-Just what are you going to do, Mrs. A? Spend your summer resenting the greedy Jones children or the untidy Smiths? Or do you think you would be happier if you worked out a little plan-and faced situation that can't very well be helped?
 There's a Way Out
 First of all, however, we'd better get one little item on the right side of the ledger. In those quiet peace full spells when you are writing home to mother, or putting buttons on Jim's shirts, are you very sure that your Paul and Annie are not over at Mrs. B's house fooling with her radio when she is trying to telephone, or pitching ball against the kitchen wall while she's trying to count sugar cups to her pre- serves?
 They might be, you know, polite and considerate as they are. Be- cause children just don't think.
 That out of the way, let us go on.
 Mothers have no real authority over other children, either in the house or in the yard. Yet they need some. They don't know your rules and you can't be too cranky. Besides your own children will only be unpopular and unhappy if they have to keep reminding their play fellows, "Oh, you can't do this," or My mother doesn't allow that"
 The best way, then, is to bring the matter up cordially with the mothers themselves and speak right out in meeting. Mrs. B." you might say, after admiring her pinks and commenting on the baby's curls, T want you to feel free to send Annie or Poddy home whenever you feel like it, and speak to them if they bother you in any way whatsoever, I'm going to explain to them that I've arranged it with you" Children Will Understand
 And as sure as you stand there, Mrs. B, relieved at discovering an answer to her own problem, will reciprocate and suggest that you do | the same.
 The children soon get to know that the pact is signed by their own mothers so they should not resent what otherwise would sound like unofficial orders.
 Of course, your home is your own castle, and you need not endure the impossible child, ever, whether or not you have come to terms with his parents. But the more friendly the relations, the better all around Polish up your tact as far as you are able, and put 1t to work.
 Try to like other children. Ii they like you, they'll eat out of youl hand and take 8 bright order like I'm going to be very busy, now everybody. So shoofly for this time Jeanne, when you come back, don't forget to show me your new dollie.' They'll skeeaddle when you say so and be quiet when you ask them to-for 8 minute.
 Neighborhood relationships are important in vacation. You have te give and you have to take. Oul children want us to like theil friends, and to like their friends mothers. It isn't too hard, is it? (Copyright, 1887, NEA Service, Incl
