than in any previous year, $50 of
them, almost one for every day in
the year. Field trials increased from
Ill in 1910 to 100 in 1941 and
obedience test trials numbered 140

is a more favorable one, anyhow for

This deal was played by lady
in the bridge club at 20l0 r street.
The lady sat south and in the third
round of bidding had reached
small slam contract in diamonds
after her partner had first over
called her original bid of one dia-
mond, with one spade and then had
gone to four diamonds. There was
a gleam of delight in the eyes Of the
West player when he doubled.
The lady reached her goal by a
maneuver which is regarded as one
of the cleverest of plays when prop
erly executed. 1t was an end play
on the eleventh trick. The spade
jack was the opening lead. De-
clarer won with the ace and laid
down the ace Of diamonds. East
had none of the suit which showed
that West held four. including the
queen and Jack That was a bad
break and it was necessary to resort
to strategy. She then played the
heart queen which West covered and
the ace in dummy won; then fol-
lOWeQ lne jack OF nedrlS ana re-
turn to dummy with a spade, and
the third heart was trumped: back
again to dummy with spade and
the club was successfully finessed,
three tricks being made in that suit.
West was now down to three trumps,
queen, jack and one.
The six of diamonds was led to
the nine, but West intervened and
won with the jack. He had been
stripped Of all other suits and was
obliged to lead from his queen
eight into Declarer's king-ten. There
was no escape from this end play
and he made only one trick while
the lady claimed small slam dou-
bled.

Hobbies and Lobbyists
News of Activities Here and Nearby
By Edmond Henderer.

Another of the United States
Coast and Geodetic Surveys array
of talented lobbyists is Betty Paige,
who lives at l476 Newton street
NV. Miss Paige is clever at vari-
Gus types of handicraft work and
in the Coast Survey hobby show
last winter she exhibited an afghan
and a chenille rug which she had
made.
In the show now being planned
for some time after Christmas Miss
Paige proposes to enter a different
example of her work. She likes to
make miniature figures of crepe
paper and plans to exhibit some OF
them.
She first learned to make these
dolls several years ago while living
in Chicago where she saw some
thing of the sort displayed in a
store selling the crepe paper and
from this worked out her present
method of producing them. All Of
Miss Paige's creations so far have
been made for some specific pur-
pose.
Probably the greatest number
have been made for use at shower
or party given in honor Of friend
soon to be married. These, of course,
are all in white, with bridal veil
and bouquet. Usually some attempt
is made to reproduce a likeness of
tho hrtdo fn-hn Az 1noct tho nnlnr
and arrangement of the hair and
general skin tint is followed. Then
after the party the doll is given to
its original, SO naturally Miss Paige
doesn't have any of these in her
possession. However, she is plan
ming to borrow one of the recent
ones to exhibit in the coming show.
Her latest doll creation is Span
ish senorita, lace mantilla and all,
which will be used as the table
decoration at luncheon soon to be
held by a Spanish language class
Miss Paige has been attending.
The basic construction of these
dolls is rather simple. Miss Paige

form both the body and stand. The
head is of flesh-colored crepe paper,
stuffed with shredded crepe The
features are bits of colored paper
cut to shape and pasted in the cor
rect places. In the case of brides a
very demure appearance is achieved
by the use of long, curling eye
lashes. A little rouge is deftly ap-
piled, and there is the face.
Crepe paper of the proper color
forms the hair and If curls are
needed they are easily produced by
rubbing the paper Arms are made
Of wire bent to the desired shape
and wrapped with the flesh -colored
crepe. Even hands may be formed
with the wire. Miss Paige applies
the fancy frills to the skirt by sewing

tinue to find relaxation in it. What
is termed old-fashioned bridge vas
developed as variation of whist
in the early COS Of the last century.
Then came auction which thrived
until the latter part Of the 20s
when contract took command as
the ultra modern form of whist. It
is said to have $4,000 900 devotees
in the United States alone and il
the Washington suggestion of a BIZ
centennial celebration were to be
adopted it would doubtless produce
a large following. The popular

aids in this part Aside from the
sewing machine the only tool needed
is a pair of scissors. A jar of paste,
little wire and crepe paper of the
desired colors are the main ma
terials used. Special effects, such as
wells, require the use of bits of
lace. etc
Miss P1ige's main interest is in
creation and construction and she
nearly always gives away her
finished products. This is often true
Of handicraft lobbyists. Their in
terests lie in the work and not in
the completed object. When a piece
is finished the interest is gone and
the lobbyist starts new one, what
ever it may be.
Many of the local hobby clubs
have suffered loss of members and
lack of attendance among the
remainder because Of demands on
the members time due to the present
emergency. This is unfortunate in
many ways, but to look at it from
VIC SClllSll tlCW DOlllG vi lllC
individual member it is somewhat
inexcusable. The more tense
situation is and the more demands
made upon a person, the more that
person needs the relaxing and
stimulating influence of an interest
ing hobby.
1t should be urged upon every
one too busy" that that is the very
reason he should take an active
interest in hobby right now.
Two local hobby groups are hop
ing to take an active part in de-
fense as a direct outcome of their
hobbies. In both cases these clubs
are units Of national organizations
which would give similar assistance
all over the country.
First there is the Washington
Radio Club. Most Of its members
are also members of the American
Radio Relay League. All amateur
radio stations have been silenced
for "the duration" but many of
them could we'll form part Of an
auxiliary AFRAID alarm network.
The second group wishing to help,
and able to do so because Of special
knowledge gained through hobby,
is the Model Plane Association. The
members of this organization prob
ably know more about planes than
any other amateur group and are
perfect material for plane spoilers.

String Beans No
Longer Deserve
Such a Name

Recipes of an older day recon-
mend cooking time which is far
too long for the string beans OF to-
day. The beans are really stringless
and will cook in Is to 20 minutes If
they are sliced ION the bias" Over
cooking destroys flavor and color.
Only a small amount of water
should be used and the saucepan
should be tightly covered so that
too much of the water will not
evaporate.
The favorite sauces for string
beans are simple dressings of butter
or cream. You may like to use a
little sugar and vinegar upon occa-
sions, or you may like to cook a few
bits of bacon with the beans them
selves. They may, of course, be
dressed with cheese or even a
Hollandaise sauce. and are very
good when combined with we'll
seasoned fresh tomatoes. Leftover
beans may be put to good use in a
combination of this sort.

Since we have only one body to
take through life with us, the care
we take of that body Is most i'm

Silly as 1t sounds, our dreams and
our spiritual zest can be tied down
to humdrum living by the disabilities
and fatigue of the earthier part
of us.
We hear so much about sunbaths
that we are likely to skip an article
which even mentions them. Yet I
wonder how many people under
stand that sunbathing has a vital
effect on the adequate nourishment
Of the body, and this, in turn, in
f1uences almost everything about us,
from our dispositions to the condi-
ton of our hair.
The effect of ultra violet ray, in
sunlight, on the health of man is
due to its influence on the utiliza-
ton of calcium and phosphorus
through the formation of vitamin D.
No matter how rich your diet may
be in calcium and phosphorus, they
will do little good unless your intake
Of vitamin D is adequate.
Sunlight is one great booster-up-
per of health which is free to rich
and poor alike. During winter
months we have to buy our vitamin
