The Waterbury Democrat. [volume] (Waterbury, Conn.) 1917-1946, 1940-07-25

By NEA Service
Traverse City, Mich, July 25.-
Minnie the MoOcher isn't just
character out of a song around
here. Minnie is a small mouth bass
who is spending her fifth summer
at resort on Spider Lake.
Oren Olson, resort owner, tanned
and trained Minnie to eat out of
his hand five years ago and each
year she returns after the ice goes
out.
Hundreds of vacationers are en-
tertained by Minnie jumping clear
out of the water to take a frog
dinner from Olson's hand. She
now weighs upwards of four
pounds.

head closes normally at the second
month. The front one at about the
Eighteenth month.
But there is considerable vari-
!. alton IN this event in perfect
health. Even with good nutrition
the front one may not close until
the end of the second year. The
commoneSt cause of delayed clos
ure is ricketts,, in which condition
it may remain open until the end
of the third year. In cretinism
closure may not occur until the
eighth year. There are some re-
markable cases in which the front
al, or great fontanel. remains open
into adult life, in one instance
recorded until 81 years.
Diet for underweight
The fat person who has to go
on a diet would look with envious
groans on the diet the thin man
may eat to gain weight. The thin
man can indulge in meals upon
which the gastronomic arts of
Autolycus and Lucullus have been
expended. Even his unreSponsive
appetite could hardly help but be
stimulated by this:
Breakfast
Frozen strawberries.
Oeuf aux SauciSsons (Smoth-
cred eggs with wine sauce,

sages.)

Cucumber Soup-Cut cucum-

or three minutes. Put vegetables
in a sauce pan and pour in five
cups of boiling water which will
be reduced to four. Season with
salt, pepper, nutmeg and a pinch
of cayenne. Simmer for half an
hour and add a cupful of clear
chicken soup, and, five minutes be-

vermicelli. Finish by stirring in a
binding of two egg yolks diluted
with a tablespoonful of cream.
Serve with croutons.

IMAGINATION VALUABLE

AMONG THE most valuable
.4alities al the bridge table, ina
smation ranks high. The ability
= deduce the probabilities OF a
situation can lead a fine player
far away from the cut-and-dried

guidance of elementary students,
to moves which seldom are out
lined clearly in ?ny BOOKS.

At the other table of a team

tested. the bidding went exactly
the same up to South's call of
3-No TrumpS. whereupon every
body passed. East's diamond lead
resulted in his side taking four
tricks in that suit, plus the spade
A, and setting the contract.
Seldom will you find more
striking example in actual play of
the value of a long suit as trumps
in an otherwise worthless hand
if a strong hand is opposite it.
North had real imagination to
foresee the advantage of showing
his club suit. He was worried
when South raised him to slam,
but later glad of it.

A controversy between the hous-

Recently, Secretary of the Navy

President Stringfellow Barr of st.

demnation suit filed by the authori-
ty Withdrawn.
Mr.. England said today "this. suit
is still in the courts" He explained
that the tract desired for the hous-
