Some Fancy Bidding.

WE HAVE on our desk letter in
which our correspondent, tells Of
hand wherein he and his partner
put one over' on his opponents. North
and South did some very fancy psychic
bidding, with East doubling at every
opportunity. To our minds the
chronicler, who played South, was
lucky to wind up in a suit where his
partner held five cards. However,
making his doubled three spade con-
tract was certainly a magnificent re-
suit and he must have judged well the
caliber Of his East opponent.

West opened the jack of diamonds,

after winning with the jack, led q

trumped, then led his last trump to
dummy's ace and played the queen Of
clubs. East covered with the king, and
declarer won with the ace, and then
played the jack Of clubs, noting with
quiet satisfaction that the 10 dropped.
The nine Of clubs furnished Q discard
for dummy's last diamond, and a sub

of thugs that existed in India until
about a century ago.
Strange as it seems. this one man,

crimes by Capt. Sleeman of the East

strange sect that had been operating
since the days OF the wild plunderers
who followed the Moslem armies Of
conquest.
The practitioners claimed to be q
religious sect devoted to the goddess
Kali and were composed mainly of
Mohammedans and Hindus. They
combined robbery with assassinations,
strangling and interring their victims
Rules forbade the killing of women,

BY MARY ALLEN HOOD.

Dy AALLIN 11OOD.
Any one who's ever done any
reading up on human anatomy is
likely to feel right at home when
venturing into the bony structure
OF members of the canine family.
They have corresponding bones and
names. Pups has his own scapula,
a humerus or two, and even two
big toes. However, items are ar
ranged differently. For instance,
instead of having a knee below the
thigh, Pups has a knee below his
forearm. It's the spot which is
occupied by the wrist in human.
The front foot consists of knee,
or pastern; paw, pads and nails.
His back foot has a hook joint in
stead of knee (where any one
would think he'd have an ankle)
paw, pads and nails.
Dew claws are the lost fifth toe
on a CANNES foot or paw. Some
pups have them on the front feet,
others on all four and a few just
carry couple on the hind legs.
Briards and the Great Pyrennes
are required, by standard, to have
dew claws. They're nuisance in
general, though, and much better
OF the foot than on. Breeders snip
them off before the puppy reaches
the ripe old age of days. Other
wise they spend their time getting
caught on things, becoming infected
and hanging around, like the sore

and praying and hoping for them
to die.
We have all seen that done dozens
of times and we have all been cyni-
cally amused to see how often they
were disappointed and failed to get
the money they had counted on,
and for which they had done such
lickspittle work. For cantankerous
old people frequently find making
and changing their wills the chief
sport of their declining days.

by the knowledge that you are not in
much danger Of being left out of 1t
even II you do not 90 to the West
Coast. Money nearly always follows
blood, and people with children
rarely disinherit them. I have
known people to leave fortunes to
relatives whom they hated and to
whom they have not spoken for
years just because it is a human
impulse to keep money in the family.
I think your mother is exactly
right not to turn over all her prop

make her eyebrows a trifle darker
and to lose some weight.
I cannot stress the fact too strong
ly that girls and women are most at
tractive when they take full advan-
tage of their natural endowed beauty
and do not try to create an artificial
appearance. Since that day two

As she will tell you herself, she
really loves her work and gets q
real kick out of it. AS a result of her

gets q great deal Of work and is
constantly in demand. She is prob
ably one Of the most photographed
girls In the world today because she
Is constantly being snapped for the

and she works many hours every day

Aside from her posing Martha is
most interested in singing and has
on many occasions entertained at
various society rendezvous. She is
not particularly interested in the
movies and would not consider them
unless she was offered q really ex-
cellent long-term contract.

thumbs, which they really are.
Grown dogs can only have their
dew claws removed through surgery,
with all the trimmings.
Pads Con the bottom of the pawsl
have an alarming tendency to bleed
when cut and become cut easily
when soft. Even a medium sized
nick gives the impression that the
victim is going to bleed to death.
A rubber band tight around the
leg, a clean nandage plus . quick
trip to the veterinarian for q stitch
or two is best for both dog and
owner. Sometimes a cut is so ragged
that all that can be done is to
keep it clean and protected for 4

If for no other reason than to
keep the feet in shape a dog needs
plenty OF hikes. Pasterns become
weak, pads soften and the nails

claws when there's insufficient ex.

Simple Dessert.

For delicious simplicity canned
peaches and cream have always
been a perfect dessert. But when
combined with marshmalloWs and
coconut-they are extra special. OF
course. for such dessert dish, you'll
want peaches that are perfect-just
right in size; just right in color. 1t
is easy enough to select Just the fruit
you want when it is purchased in
glass jars because you can see ex-
actly what you are buying. But on
with the dessert. To make it, place
one marshmallow in the hollow OF
each peach half and sprinkle over
with coconut. Pop under the broiler
flame until delicately Drowned and
serve. Isn't that simple? And 1t is
delicious!

After frost has killed the tops Of
perennials 1t Is q good plan to cut
them of. Pull the weeds and dead
grass at the same time. Add this
material to the compost pile. The
main reason for such work, how
ever, 10 to remove the wintering-
over places Of many insect pests and
diseases. Note: The tops of iris
are not removed in the fall)
Wherever practical spade the
ground around shrubbery, where an
nuals grew, and ground not in use.
This serves to kill weeds and also to
facilitate frost action (mellowing)
on the soil. It also aids in removing
hiding places Of insect pests. Leave
the ground rough after spading so
that 1t may absorb moisture and
mellow.
Since Washington gardens are, for
the most part in heavy clay soil
that does not drain readily, water
drainage is an important garden
problem. Standing water is often
fatal to dormant plants and bulbs.
To overcome this fault, 1t is we'll to
I'LL in low spots, and to provide
bitches to drain the flower beds
Peonies, delphinium and many other
perennials will come through winter
safely if this precaution is taken.
Newly planted shrubs. especially
the evergreens in exposed positions,
need some protection from drying
winds. Those shrubs whose root sys-
TENS have not had sufficient time In
which to become established will
benefit by some form of shelter.
Since both the sun and the wind
take moisture from them, a burlap
screen on the south side Is the most
common form Of shelter used. Lath
frames also are very good. Anything
which will break the wind and re-
duce the sunlight is effective. Tree
trunks are usually wrapped with
burlap although prepared paper
wrap is available.
After the ground is frozen the
final touches in tucking the plants
away for the winter may be made.
In this area freezing seldom Injuries
many of the perennials or shrubs.
In fact, 1t is not the cold that causes
winter injury, but our frequent
warm periods which stimulate
plants into unreasonable growth.
Also. the alternate freezing and
thawing heaves plants and bulbs
which are not properly planted or
protected out Of the ground. Thus
the tucking-in process consists Of
measures which keep the ground
frozen as far as it Is possible to do
50. Mulching the ground after
freezing is the most common prac-
tice. Pine boughs. leaves, peatmoss,
compost. etc, are used for this pur-
pose. Christmas trees, wreaths and
decorations make good mulching
material-and are available at the
time when needed.

The Care of Plants

Bulbs for indoor bloom should be
potted at this time. Use the shall
low pots-ulb pans-put three to
nve tulips in 6-inch pan. Keep
them buried in the cold frame until
midwlnter and then keep in q cool
place until the buds are formed
Most potted bulbs do best when
grown IN q temperature Of so to IS
degrees.
Moving the grass late in the fall
Is not considered the best practice;
II LETT rather long, the grass leaves
act as mulch. Some authorities
recommend leaving the fallen leaves
unless they are so thick as to
smother the grass. With eraw
growing here until midwinter it Ia
better to put the leaves into the
compost pile.
Weed control should not stop un-
TIL the ground Is frozen. Seeding
weeds killed this fall will reduce
next years battle materially.
Northern-srown roses are most
satisfactory for fall planting. Local
gardeners have tried Texas roses
several times and report that they
DO not come through our winters
at all satisfactory.
Tie up climbing shrubs and roses
to prevent their breaking in winter
winds. Loose branches whipping in
winter winds will rub the paint
from boards as well ~ injure the
bark.
Some gardeners pile manure be-
tween the mounds of dirt in their
shrub borders and rose beds. The
manure Is not needed for 4 mulch,
but the plant food teaching into
the soil is real benefit. If the
manure Is incorporated in the soil
In the spring still more benefit is
to be obtained.
Mulch evergreens, azaleas, dog
woods and rhododendrons with
leafmold or compost. In their
native habitat they live and thrive
with leaves rotting about them.
The gardener can easily give them
this needed care.
