Last week | spoke about rain,
and there were some facts I wanted
to take up but did not have enough
space.
Only heavy downpour will
give us an inch of rain in an hour
of time. That much rain means
lib tons on each acre of ground.
Yet there have been times when
rain has fallen far more heavily
In so-called cloud bursts 1t
empties from the sky in a way
which might make a person sup
pose that lake was being dropped
from above
Down in Panama, at the city OF
Porto Bello there was a fall OF
2ta inches in minutes! That took
place on November 70, 1911,
A weather station in California
reported another record rainfall.
On the fifth day of April, 1925,
1-inch of rain fell at Opid's Camp
in l minute. Opid's Camp is in a
mountainous part of Southern Cali
fornia.
Extremely wet places are usual

West opened the king OF hearts,
dummy winning with the ace. Faced
with the prospective loss of heart
and two spades, Edward Hymes, jr.,
who sat South, looked around for
way to eliminate a loser.
II nobody had bid diamonds the
chances are that Mr.. Hymes would
have tried for a favorable break in
the suit. But the bidding indicated
quite clearly that whatever else
might be the case, the suit would
surely not break 3-3; SO the normal
plan had to be abandoned.
The big question was: Who had
the diamondS-West, who had bid
them or East. who had raised them?
Obviously there wasn't enough
strength in the missing six dia-
monds for both the bid and the
raise to be correct.
After some thought Mr.. Hymes
properly decided that West might
very well ''psych' a diamond bid
so long as he had support for his
partners spades; but that East
would not "psych" a diamond raise
since he did not yet know of Vests
spade support. On this reasoning
South finessed the ten of diamonds
at the second trick! Since the
trumps broke the rest was easy.

there is any other choice and there

had to do with what we regard
as commonplace jobs. After
you've gone through the entire
list, you are left with the feel
ing that Spirituality" is not the

us have imagined it to be. It's
a vital, healthy thing which
helps men and women to be-

tiers, living perfectly normal
lives-not omitting real fun and

The point is that the "spiritu

ordinary, everyday occupations.
The man or the woman who
possesses this power, need not
be anxious about the way it
will be shown = this will take
care of itself. ALI they are requir

ahead, no matter what it may
be, and they will soon find their
way to the thing they can best

ed it is an honorable occupation

RELIGION AND YOUR JOB
BY DIR. Charles Sickle

Many of us who are naturally
sympathetic oward what is
known as religion" feel out of
place among some Of our friends
who believe that it can be ex-
pressed only through emotional
action. If you want to find out
how Spirituality" sometimes
shows itself, you can not do
better than to study some Of
the Bible characters, who, we
are told, were controlled by the
Spirit of God"
We are told that back in the
days when the Israelites were
wandering about in the wilder
ness, God commanded them to
make, among other things, a
tabernacle and the furniture to
be used therein. And a man by
the name of Bazaleel was select
ed for this task. The Bible says
he was specially filled with the
spirit of God" - what for?
Simply that he might become a
good mechanism order that he
might make a first rate job of
that tabernacle. There are men
and women today who are reveal
ing their spiritual" power by
becoming high grade workers.
Then, when the Israelites
were having their troubles with
the Philistines and some other
nations they badly needed some
generals" How were these
lighting men quipped? We are
told that "the spirit of the Lord
came upon them and so Joshua

ODDS AGAINST MOTORIST

Winter is coming. The vaea-.
ton season has ended, and for
the next few months Mr.. and
Mrs. America will be sticking
pretty close to home and the
office. The family car will spend
most of its time in the garage.
Travel drops during the whit
er. 1t would seem logica that
traffic deaths would drop too.
But do they?
Decidedly not! We are now
entering the two most deadly
months of the year! Although
fewer care We're on the road,
the two months of November
and December accounted for
more than 81 per cent of last
years traffic deaths.
Why? Because driving condi-
lions are more tracherous, and
drivers fai TO make allowance for
them. More hours of darkness
= rain, fog, and snow = icy
pavements-closed windows that
keep drivers from hearing train
whistles and warning BELLS
thes are only a few of the winter
hazards for motorists.
The traffic toll this year is
higher than it was last year.
The only hope of reducing it is
for motorists and pedestrians
to realize the extra dangers in
these last months, and to drive
adj walk with extra caution.
The odds are against the
motorist in winter. The wise
motorist will play safe-he will
refuse to gamble. .....

HOW DOES YOUR GARDEN GROW?
Vegetable Plot Can Save
$50 to 500 in Food Budget

It takes less time to grow vege-
tables in home garden than 1t. re-
quires to shop for them in the mar
ket; and the quality of the home
product cannot be equaled by mark
ket vegetables.
One reason for this differences in
quality is found in the deteriora-
ton in flavor which in most cases
sets in when vegetables are har-
vested. Peas. sweet corn, lima beans,
pod beans, and many other vege-
tables lose more than half their
delicious flavor within a few hours
after picking. Within half an hour
the difference is noticeable; so the
wise home garden owner picks her
vegetables just before she cooks
them.
She can also pick many half
grown, at which stage some crops
are at their best. For instance,
baby carrots, about as large as a
lead pencil, and baby squash, an
inch or two in length. Seldom if
ever can these delicacies be found
in markets because they quickly
spoil, but their flavor and tender
ness are supreme.
The idea that vegetables cannot
be grown as cheaply as they can be
bought gained some Roadway in the
prosperous twenties among suburb
antics who employed high priced
casual labor to cultivate gardens
rather than doing the work them
selves. Even with this wasteful
method of production costs are
much less now, and the superior
quality of really fresh vegetables
would justify higher than market
prices.
But the real saving in the house
hold budget comes when home
gardener does his Cor herr own
gardening. Then the good health
and fine appetite which work in the
garden produces, increase his enjoy
ment of the vegetables he grows,
while his living expenses are sub
stantially reduced. 49,
1t has been estimated, on the
basis of careful study, that the av-
erage home maker devotes 120 hours
