. McKEkNEY's BRIDGE QUIZ
WEN Not AS Simple AS It Looks Just Try NOT to TAXI
Your Tricks

This is the fourth of a series of
articles describing WEN, the in
dividual bridge game. Those who
have played 1t find that it has all
Of the skill of hearts and bridge;
that 1t can be learned in few min
utes; and you bid and play as you
see fit, without any partnership
troubles. My first three articles were
devoted to the general rules Of the
game. In this and the next two
articles, want to outline some of
the technique of bidding and play.
On the first deal you receive only
one card. The player at the left of
the deal must bid first. Your prob
lem Is most difficult If you have been
dealt something like the queen of
hearts, and spades have been turned
as trump. You are forced to bid
one, and Of course you may easily
lose If one Of the other players has
been dealt a higher heart or
trump. If you are in fourth posi-
ton, with spades trumps and you
hold the deuce of spades, you can
safely bid one, as you probably have
the only trump out. However, If first
hand has bid one, it is difficult for
you to tell whether he has bid on
a high card or trump. Usually, in
second or third position on the first
deal, one Is not bid unless the player
holds a trump.
Deal No. 2, in which each player
receives two cards, calls for q diff
ferent technique. If you are dealt
two trumpS, for example the seven
and deuce, your problem is whether
to bid one or two. If you bid one
you are forced to lead your deuce
and trust that the seven-spot will
take the second trick. A trump and
an off-card In second, third or fourth
position is usually worth bid of
one, you hope to trump the card led
and then get out with the off card.
If you are opening and hold an ace

and a trump, you have a serious
problem. You may lead the ace,
only to have someone wham (WEM)
it with a trump.
In fourth position, for example,
you hold the king and deuce of
spades, with spades trumps. Player
A had bid one, B has bid nullo and
G one. Your best bid would be one,
even though that throws the bidding
out of balance. There are only two
tricks to be had and three are bid
for. If an off-card is led, say the
ace of diamonds, and the other two
players follow suit, you must trump
with your king and then lead the
deuce, to get out.
You will find there is just as
much fun in WEN trying to sayoid

them.

Picnic Season
Is Now At Hand
Appetizing Suggestions For
Lunches Are Offered By
Miss Sallie Brooks.

Lets have a picnic" is an ex-
preston practically every home
maker will hear more than once
this summer, says Miss Sallie
Brooks, assistant extension nu-
tritionist at State College.
And when the family calls for
one of these out-of-door excur-
sions, it means the housewife
must produce a tasty lunch that
all members of the family will
enjoy.
In planning for a lunch the
homemaker should think beyond
bread and meat and potato chips
or potato salad. Just like any
other meals, a good variety of
food is advisable.
Perhaps the family would like
hamburger cakes broiled over an
open fire. Or they may prefer ba-
con. Then, they are "kabobs" :,
these tempting morsels of meat
the size of one good picnic bite,
which are slipped on a stick, then
another bit of meat, and so on.
Any kind of meat may be used
beef, veal. pork, lamb, and 9TH
erS.
Other families may prefer wei
ners, the old picnic standby,
roasted over an open fire. A piece
of cheese wrapped in piece of
bacon can be cooked the same
way. With frying pan along,
scrambled eggs-or even scram-
bled eggs and bacon-may be
cooked.
Then there are other hot dish
es that go well at picnic which
can be cooked at home. Some of
these are scalloped potatoes,
baked beans, chicken stew, meat
loaf, and brunswick stew. These
foods can be kept hot for some
time by wrapping them in seve-
raj thicknesses of paper.
Miss Brooks also advises the
inclusion of green vegetables to
give crispness to the picnic lunch.
Tender lettuce, radishes, and
young onions are growing in ma
ny North Carolina gardens at
this season of the year. BY COM
bining a number of these, veg
etable salad could provided.

Lightning Sets
Off 500 Sticks
OF Dynamite

MT. AIRY, May 3O.-A bolt of
lightning sent off so sticks of
dynamite, blew man 20 feet in
the air, covered an automobile
with debris and performed a deed
for the state highway department
on the Lowgap highway con-
struction job three miles from
Lowgap last Tuesday and did no
damage.
The bolt struck a tree on the
construction job and set off Is
holes of dynamite with 20 sticks
in each, which were electrically
fused when a sudden thunder
storm came up Tuesday after
noon, a highway official said to-
day.
"Well, the lightning did the
job just as we'll or better than
we could have done it," he said,
"the only exception being it took
us 80 minutes to uncover the au-
tomobile with three unframed
men in it,.
A man standing near the scene
was blown into the air but un-
harmed. The unique experience is
the first one of it's kind on rec
ord, the construction foreman
said.

Stuart, seed specialist. He says:
Cotton seed from some of the
finest fields in North Carolina
were lost to future production
last fall because of improper
storage. The same thing can hap
pen to small grain this summer If
the grower fails to handle his
grain carefully from field to
granary."
Vegetables
Robert Schmidt, vegetable hor-
ticulturist of the Experiment Sta
ton, says the first week in June
is a good time to set sweet pota-
to plants. Here are a few things
to remember: Set the plants 10
to IL inches apart in rows 8 to
3 IL feet apart. A fairly high
ridge seems to be desirable for
the Porto Rico variety. If it is
necessary to buy plants, insist on
certified plants or plants from
certified seed. Fertilizer should
be applied in the ridge a few
days before planting. The recon-
mended fertilizer should analyze
3 to 4 per cent nitrogen, 8 per
cent phosphoric acid, and 8 per
cent potash. 1t should be applied
at the rate of 800 pounds to the
acre.
Fruits
H. R. Niswonger, extension
horticulturist, says the first part
of June is the best time to apply
cooling moth bands to apple trees
and for catching the worms as
they crawl down the trunk of the
tree. Prepared poisoned bands
may be fastened to the trunk or
three layers of six-inch bands of
burlap emay be used. Examine
these burlap bands every and de-
stroy the worms which collect
under them.

From DR.. R. F. Poole, plant
pathologist of the Agricultural
Experiment Station, come these
suggestions about plant diseases:

Do not harvest and sack Irish po-
tatoes when the soil is wet, since
they will heat in the containers
and often rot badly. Also avoid
harvesting during the midday on
sultry days as scald and decay
may result. In sections where
leaf spot diseases have caused
heavy losses of cantaloupes and
watermelons, resulting in prema-
ture ripening and poor quality, it
is advisable to spray thoroughly
with a $3.50 Bordeaux mixture.
Since early peaches, such as the
Red Birds, are susceptible to the
fungus that causes brown rot,
they should be sprayed from two
to three times at ten-day inter-
walls Immediately prior to har-
vest.
