TVomen;s Army
 Met Last Night

The importance of cancer control in the program of national defense was stressed last night by Mrs. Douglass O. Burnham, state com mander of the Women's Field Army of the American Society for the Control of Cancer at Q meeting of the Connecticut executive committee ct her home.
 Mrs. Burnham pointed out that even though cancer would rarely af- feet directly the young men in the army, navy and air corps, and the young people who are active in civi- ian defense organizations, their morale would be greatly improved if they knew their families and homes were being protected from the rave ages of the disease. The health of older men and women, she added, is essential to our expanded industrial program today.
 Those attending the meeting in- cIuded Dr. Charles L. Larkin of Wa terbury, chairman of the executive committee; pr. Philip c. Mcclellan of Hartford, secretary; Gerald O, Low of Watertown, treasurer; Dr. Edward J. Ottenheimer of Williman. tic; and pr. Ashley W. Oughterson of New Haven.

. MeKENNEY'S BRIDGE QUIZ
If Opponents Open Or Impede, w V" System sti Works

EDITORS NOTE: In this series of articles the writer Is not advO- eating the ". "" system. In keep- ing with his policy to present any- thing new to his readers, the vari- Ous details of this system are pre-. scented for their information, so that if and when they play against the system, they may have an adequate defense against 1t.
 BY WILLIAM E. MCKINNEY
 Americas Card Authority Unlike any other system, the W. w." system does not use an honor count table. It deals entirely with the eight high cards, the four aces and four kings.
 In the preceding articles I have shown you how they determine the number Of high cards held in the combined hands. I might add one thought in regard to a second hand bid. Charles 2. Van Week explained that you have right to shade your second hand bid, as he likes to add the value Of the original bidders pass to his hand.
 When the opponents open the bidding or try to interfere with the system, the action taken under the W. w." system is outlined below: (a) When their side is not vul- nerable--
 1. An overcall shows no more than two high cards
 2. With three high cards, they make an insormatory double.
 3. With i've high cards and the opponents suit stopped, they they bid one no trump.
 {. With six or seven high cards, they bid two no trump.
 (b) When their side is vuiner- able
 1. An overcall shows no more than three high cards.

Advisable to
Cut Back
Begonias
Induces New Roots
And Improves
Foliage

Without further ceremony, 1t Is
now necessary to lift begonias and
other tender house plants from the
holes where they enjoyed their out
door vacation and bring them into
the house While they can go out
doors again on warm, sunny days,
the nights are now entirely too cool
for their safety.
When the plants were taken out
doors in the summer they were more
than likely removed from decorative
pots and placed in ordinary clay
ones. Since the pots were sunk to
their rims, the ornamental pot would
have been sheer waste. 1t is time to
repot them into decorative con-
tainers. using rich soil mixture to
fill up spaces.
Since begonias branch out beauti-
fully during winter indoors, it Is
recommended that the plants be cut
back severely. New growth will soon
cover the barren-appearing stems
and new roots will be induced.
Foliage will be greatly improved.
When greenhousemen bring these
plants indoors they cut them back
until the stems are mere stalks, but
that might not be pleasing to the
average home owner.

Use Little
Fertilizer
On Cacti

For unusual shape and surpris-
ingly beautiful flowers, few indoor
plants can surpass the cacti. In
their natural habitat, they live in
hot, dry countries where they
flourish on even the most barren of
soils. 1t is not unusual then to learn
that they are exceptionally good
plants for home where the hot air
is devoid of moisture.
While cacti will thrive in any type
of container in which the drainage
is perfect, they do best when grown
in Water-tight containers whose bot
toms have been filled with broken
crockery or old concrete. Obviously,
such potting requires more care and
watering than if a drainage hole
were present.
Fertilizers are almost taboo with
most cacti. Between October and
December, indoor cacti will rest up
pretty much and all water can be
withheld. During this resting Pc
riod fertilizer should not be used.
II, when watering is resumed in
January, you are willing to use fer
tilizer very sparingly. the plants can
benefit from light busting of COM
plete fertilizer on the soil. This
can be scraped In carefully with a
discarded fork.

PhlOx Needs
Protection
In Winter

Phlox. often called the all-Amer-
ican plant because it is found from
Alaska to South America, is prob
ably one of the most frequently
grown of garden plants. From a
single-stalk division set out in the
fall there may be anywhere from
four to six Towering heads pro-
duced next year.
Despite the fact that some species
are found in Alaska most of the
phlox forms which we use in our
gardens are found in all sections of
this country.
The newer sorts. famed for their
large flower heads. are best pro-
tected over the winter.
A good treatment for newly set
divisions is to work bone meal lib
orally into the soil around them
followed by q peat moss mulch about
an inch deep.
While plants can stand most tenn
peratures, they cannot endure the
heaving which they certainly suffer
unless a mulch to prevent it is ap-
piled.

alright glass container. One sees
many examples of these novel gar
dens in florists windows ranging
from the well-designed miniature
garden artistically arranged in a
glass bottle to one carefully planned
and planted in a fish bowl or glass
globe. For the amateur the latter
type OF container Is the better, for
there is more room in which to
work and that would be true, too, Of
an aquarium. Any terrarium con-
tainer must have a tight fitting
glass cover.
Clean and polish the cohtainer
inside and out before starting TO
make the garden, as. even though
a second cleaning will be necessary
when the garden is completed, it is
easier to do a thorough job when
there are no plants in the recepta-

bles is, naturally, prerequisite as

sharp sand and then add topsoil to
a depth just sufficient to support
the roots of the selected plants.
Choose only shallow rooted varie-
ties SO that the line of earth show
ing through the glass will be as
inconspicuous as possible. If one
wishes to attempt to create land
scape in which rocks are to appear
these should be set on the bottom OF
the terrarium and the pebbles, sand
and soil tamped firmly around them.
Anything in a glass container,
especially a bowl, whether rocks or
plants, appears larger than normal,
so care should be taken not to have
either predominant. Instead, they
should blend in so that they are
unobtrusive. Neither should the
plants be crowded together, for that
tends to detract from the real
beauty of the garden. Preferably
native plant material should be used
exclusively and there is a wealth OF
small plants from which to make
q selection. Seeding hemlocks,
