and declarer now counted his tricks.
There were in view four spade tricks,
four heart tricks, two diamonds and
the ace Of clubs. How to obtain the
18th trick? There were only two DOS
sible ways: Either the king Of clubs
must drop or the opponent holding
this card must also have both the queen
and jack of diamonds.
Mr.. Gotthelf therefore played a low
club to his ace. cashed his two top
spades, discarding two low clubs from
dummy, then ran of four heart tricks.
At this stage dummy held the king and
one diamond, plus the queen Of clubs:
Mr.. Gotthelf the ace-10-small Of dia-
monds. Now If either opponent held
the king Of clubs and the queen jack
Of diamonds, he was squeezed. Actually
West was the unfortunate opponent
who held these three vital cards and
he was forced to let 60 of his small

THE almost unbelievable power in
the 16-inch guns Of our first-line
battleships, recently computed at the
Naval Proving Ground at Dahlgren,
Va, is difncult for the individual
to realize unless transposed into
familiar terms.
Strange as it seems, when one Of
the 16-inch guns is fired, horse
power Of 100000 Is developed
greater than the combined output Of
the power plants propelling the bat
tie fleets Of the United States Navy!
When a 16-inch gun goes off, . pro-
jectile weighing roughly one ton
travels the length of the bore in
about 1-20 second. The average force
on the projectile as 1t moves out Of
the bore is four or five million pounds.
Multiplying the average force by the
displacement in the bore $50 to so
feet) gives the total work, though
part Of the energy IS dissipated.
If the projectile strikes the side
armor Of an opposing ship, according
to the ballistics experts at Dahlgren,
the rate of doing work attains almost
inconceivably high values, Of the
order of 100,000.0 900 horsepower

Simpler Than It Sounds.

TN CONTRAST to its high-sounding
name. the Vienna coup is really a
very simple play, which should be
easily recognized whenever it appears.
Several conditions are necessary for its
achievement: % Declarer must be
exactly one trick short of his contract;
CD declarer must hold the highest
card in a certain suit, the opponents
the next highest; 90 declarer must
have another suit with which to
squeeze his opponents, provided the

out the welcome sign for the touring
buffalo moth family.
1t isn't a pretty thought, but buffalo
moths do get into mattresses and
springs that are being used, and for
that reason it is decidedly wise to
have an expert check up on your
downy couch once in while to be
sure that all of its stuffing isn't being
quietly eaten away beneath you. 1t
wouldn't be much fun to wake up
on the floor some morning amid the
wreckage Of your best bed!

costly process. If the job has been
delayed too long, and a large amount
Of hair or felt or other stufing

more springs to be tied-then, Of

There are a number of new items
in the bedding line that have arrived
on the market recently that, if YOU
are contemplating the purchase of new

your attention. Changing old beds
into modern streamlined ones is
fascinating job, and the popular idea
Of having two single beds with one
double headboard recommends it
self highly to persons living in
cramped quarters. There is a new
mattress, too, that has just come to
light; it is made entirely Of Ia lex,

to the body, giving support in dir@t

needed. 1t sounds like a lovely way
to thwart the buffalo moth tribe-be-
cause so far they have not taken to
eating rubber!

OF the Eighteenth century.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

JUST as most daughters feel that
their mothers ought to reduce,
the majority of mothers feel that their
daughters ought to avoid reducing.
There's sense on both sides, but let us
concern ourselves with the daughters
today.
1t is not only silly but often def
nitely harmful for girls in their teens
or just out Of them to diet strenuously
A sacrifice of excess sweets, pastries,
starcheS and such cannot hurt the
body any and may help to bolster ones
pride. But actual dieting is not
generally recommended.
Here's typical letter from a most
intelligent mother and I hope that
both mother and daughter will read
this column. The daughter is 81,
feet 2, weighs about 120. broad of
frame. She spurns sweet milk and has
substituted buttermilk.
For breakfast she has orange Juice,
two thin slices white toast, cup of tea
or glass of buttermilk.
For luncheon, which she takes to
school, there's thin slice of buttered
bread with cream cheese and ginger,
apple or orange and cup of clear tea.
For dinner. the only meal on which
mother can keep really watchful eye,
she won't eat all she should.
Her hands and feet are always
stone cold, although she never COM
plains, and she should wear more
clothes, although she wears wool
skirt and sweater. She wears fan
nelette pajamas, even in spring, to
bed, bed socks. light wool jacket and
especially in the winter has a hot
water bag. (meaning mother) wear
a silk nightgown and am quite warm.
I fear that with her diet and cold
hands and feet she will have serious
illness, but am powerless. am put
ting a little cream secretly in her

the great increase in tuberculosis be-
tween the ages of 18 and Is and with
official statistics that it is increasing
among nurses and medical students
don't you feel that diet should be very

The Old Gardener Soys:

A giant yellow pansy, called
Coronation Gold, Is one of the
attractive novelties being offered
to garden makers this year. The
flowers are unusually large, often
being 8 inches or more across.
They are canary yellow in color,
the lower petals being flushed
with golden orange. A spicy
scent adds to the attractiveness of
the flowers. Another type Of
pansy offered this year is that
called Shakespeare's pansies.
They were so named because
they closely resemble the pansies
grown IN Shakespeare's time.
They are simple. quaint little
flowers. which are suitable for
any location in the garden, and
can be grown easily wherever

IF THERE is any criticism of the
work of these men they might be
accused of not understanding or util-
izing the natural properties of their
materials. They used marble as they
did wood, inlaying it with different
colors of stone to form a pattern.
They used plaster as if it were mar
Bile, carving dancing figures and floral
WreathS into its soft surface. But
it must be admitted that they did
all of these with perfection of work.
manship and quality of design that
may never be denied. Famous for
delicate rectilinear structural lines,
each design has beauty and refine
ment of proportion. The classic motif
is apparent with Pompeian urns, the
sunburst, the carved wreath with rib
bon bands. as well as the dancing fig
ures familiar to most of us on the
beautiful blue and white wedgewood
pottery. Avoiding the opulent curves
of the rococco they sometimes went
to the other extreme in the austerity
of the ultra classic.
Chairs were small, rather effeminate,
with straight tapering legs and spade
feet, or with round f1uted legs and
turned feet. The backs were low, mar
row and either square with a slightly
arched top, or wheel-shaped with the
spokes radiating from a center pat
tern.
TABLES were especially beautiful
and had the same straight taper
ing leg, f1uted or reeded. Serpentine
fronts were frequent and the half
round console table with beautiful
carved legs and topped by a mirror
was made popular by the brothers.
Sideboard tables were of the same gen.
eral style as the other tables, but they
were often flanked at either end by
separate square pedestals on which
rested decorative knife boxes orna-
mented with garlands.
The wood used was chiefly mahog-
any. though the lighter woods, satin
wood, tulipwood. sycamore and ebony,
became popular for inlay and decora-
ton. Painting, gliding and inlay was
used extensively in the later years.
Throughout all the Adam work is
unmistakable classic simplicity and
beautiful slender proportion. No de-
tail was too trivial or unimportant
to receive their best thought and inter-
est. Their book of designs, THE
Works of Architecture of James and
Robert ADAM" influenced furniture
design and decoration in Europe and
America for nearly hundred years,
until the curves of the Victorian era
superseded them. Now, with our in
terest in eighteenth century furnish
ings the artistry of the Brothers
Adam is coming into its own again.

atom without some understanding of
the work of the Brothers Adam.
Robert Adam was the guiding spirit
Of the firm. His father was famous
architect in Scotland and after Robert
had completed his schooling and
learned the rudiments of architecture
from his father he was sent on tour
during which he spent several years
In an intense study of classic Greek
and Roman architecture.
On his return to England Robert
published the results of his study in
book, which he dedicated to the
King of England. Soon after this he
was appointed kings architect" i"
which assured him extensive employ
ment and made him the fashionable
architect of London.
In company with his brothers he
started an extensive real estate and
building scheme, called the Adelphi
Terrace today, which would have un-
doubtedly plunged them in bankruptcy
In spite of their wealth if they had
not influential connections After
safely emerging from this speculation,
they found themselves at the top of
their profession and in constant de-
mand by royalty and nobility.

THEY started work in London at a
time when Chippendale was at
the peak of his fame, and tickle So
ciety was ready for something new.
The straight lines, the classic delicate
grace and the chaste detail of the
designs of Robert Adam were in sharp
contrast to the elaborately carved
curves of Thomas Chippendale.
When the Adelphi designed a
house for client that poor soul
found that nothing he possessed
looked right in his new house, so
the Brothers Adam would design an
interior with beautiful painted doors,
wall medallions and decorated ceiling.
After that they designed his furniture,
not only the things he needed, but
many other delightful extra bits, for
1t began to be the mode to dress up
the room with many exquisite but en-
Ilrely useless pieces, so that before
they had finished, the house was en-
tirely Adam from facade to fire
irons" People literally turned their
houses inside out to conform to the
new fashion and the smart young
Scotchman was great success.
The Adelphi did not make their
furniture or decorate their houses
themselves, but used the very best
craftsmen of the day. They made the
plan and carefully supervised the work,
but much of the fame of the Adam
period today is based on the fine
workmanship of such excellent arti-
sans as Chippendale, Hepplewhite and
Sheraton
Some of the finest Italian artists Of
the day were employed to decorate the
furniture, as Robert Adam was among
the first to advocate painted furni-
ture, and famous Italian process,

1t is nobody's idea of honeymoon to
spend it under the critical eyes Of
mamma and papa and little sister and
little brother. Every woman remem-
bers the pride and JOY she had in fixing
up her first home and being able to
have just the kind of curtains and
dishes she wanted, instead of the kind
that mother preferred.
Your people are more than selfish
They are positively lacking in all SYM
pathy and understanding when they
spoil what should be the happiest time
of your life by their reproaches about
your leaving them.
The only advice I can give you Is
not to take them too seriously. They
don't mean what they say Laugh of
their Mysteries over your having moved
a few blocks away from them. Don't
let them worry you and make you un-
happy. But above all don't give in
to them and 60 to live with them. II
you do you will wreck your marriage
No sane in-law could get along with
such unreasonable people. and when
the arrangement broke up in a big
family quarrel you would have trouble
sure enough.

My husband and get along
- perfectly together. but my
family reproach me bitterly because
I want my own home and refuse to
live with them. They say am not
treating them right by leaving them,
and that some day will be sorry for
the way I have done. When I go to
see them they spend the time telling
me how lonely they are without me,
how ungrateful I am to have gone
away, and when I get ready to leave
they start to cry, and it makes me
feel terrible. But I want my own
home, and know that my father
and husband would never get along
together Is there any way I can
make them see my point of view? We
have always been such good pals that
I can't bear to hurt them. Won't
you please help me?

Answer: All that I can recommend
Is for you to have your familys heads
examined for the sillies, for they GER
tainly must be singularly lacking in
common sense to be making tragedy
out of something that should be a
matter of rejoicing. They are bound
to know that the greatest good fortune
that can befall girl is to marry the
man she loves and set up her own
home. So why all the lamentations
and reproaches and weeps? 1t is an
occasion for getting out the cymbals
instead of fetching out the tear jugs.
VOUR father and mother married
and left their parents and went
about the business of life for them
selves. Remind them of that little
fact and ask them If they consider
that they showed that they were mean.
ungrateful, unappreciative children by
SO doing. Ask them il they think that
grown-up children should never leave
papa and mamma and should never
have any lives of their own.
Ask them if they do not think that
they are very selfish in wanting to
keep you from following two normal
human impulses, one of which is to
be alone with your man. instead of
being in the bosom Of your family, and
the other is to build your own nest.
