toward the forcible establishment OF
one Of the sequence as a high-card
trick.
In leading from such strong COM
binations, the leader must be care
full to choose the right card. BY
conventional agreement certain leads
show certain possible combinations
Of high cards and deny others. In
these articles I will list and explain
all the standard leads. Note that
one lead may be correct against a
no trump contract and another may
be correct against suit contract.
Against no trump, the opening
of the ace asks partner to follow
with his highest card, so that the
leader may Judge whether his suit
Is solid. This lead is therefore cor
rect only with a suit which by rea-
son of its length or strength, or
both, probably will be solid If part
ner turns up with the missing honor
or with two or three small cards
of the suit.
The lead Of a king against no
trump normally asks partner to
follow with his second highest card.
With the jack and low card, the
partner should usually play the
jack.

. MCKINNEY ON BRIDGE
Reading of Suit Patterns Is Most Accurate Defense
BY WIN. e. MCKINNEY
Americas Card Authority

Yesterday I explained that open
ing leads, as well as every other
phase Of defensive play, are gov
erned by the principle that the
surest guide to accurate defense is
a reading of patterns, the distribu-
ton Of suits and cards. The read
ing Of high-card holdings is sec
ondary, If only because the infer
ences on which 1t Is based are
much less certain.
For example, If your partner has
bid 0 suit and you have the open
ing lead, your choice Of card is
primarily governed by the length
in your partners suit. The general
principle is that with four or more,
you open the fourth highest; with
three or less you open the top. This
distinction as to length is the surest
guide you can give your partner as
TO the defensive value OF his suit.
Learn the rule that way, then
note the exceptions made for cer-
tain high-card situations. With
two honors In sequence at the top
Of your holding, lead the top OF
the sequence regardless Of length
except that with the ace-king, lead
the king first). Having the ace, you
usually lead II (for fear Of losing
II against q suit contract.
with three cards headed by the
oack or higher, without the next
lower card in sequence, lead the
lowest card against a no trump
contract. Here the object is to hold
your honor over the declarer to kill
a potential low stopper he may hold.
we shall now consider the table
Of blind opening leads-the choice
Of card to lead from q suit bid by
no other player. The most desir-
able opening leads are from suits
headed by solid sequences. Thus a
lead from the queen jack-ten COM
mences knocking out the ace and
king, wherever they lie, and works

Victory FEouOer ShouU
Plans Home Gardens

Cleared to meet the needs Of the
hour, the Victory Flower Show of
the Massachusetts, Horticultural
Society, the list consecutive New
England Spring Flower Show, which
will be held in Mechanics Building,
Boston, March 1921, left the draw
ing boards Of the designers today
and went into the hands of the
carpenters, plumbers, electricians,
and painters who will build the
framework of the 173 exhibits on
the dusty boards Of the five halls.
Meanwhile, in the more than 100
greenhouses in all parts of New
England, skilled horticulturists are
sitting up nights nursing along the
multitude of trees, shrubs, plants
and bulbs which are being forced
into bloom for the zero hour, March
10th at noon.
This year, great stress is being
placed upon victory gardens. Three
large kitchen gardens are being
staged by the Essex County Argicul-
tural School, the Worcester North
High School and the Jamaica Plain
High School. In addition, experts will
be on hand to show by demonstra-
ton the various garden operations,
to answer all questions and to make
free soil tests. Bring a sample OF
your garden soil to the Show and
we'll tell you what it may need to
make it fruitful"-this is the free
offer of the Shows garden experts.
Flowers are being stressed as i'm
portant. in Victory Gardens, too, and
more than 100 lovely displays will
show how anyone can plan to make
his own property, large or small
beautiful. Under the direction Of
Mrs. Irving G. Wright of Chestnut
Hill, the Garden, Clubs have ar
ranged for a series Of small and
simple gardens of fruits and flowers
showing what can be done with a
very small outlay Of cash and time.
These are really little gardens for
busy people-but beautiful for al
that.
Orchids are again emphasized this
year with a triple display from the
American Orchid Society, Mrs. M
Ida Young of Longmeadow anc
Edwin S. Webster, president Of the
Society. Roses are featured, too, for
in addition to the parade Of long
stemmed beauties, there will be q
demonstration Of the modern use OF
roses in the home, as well as q
wedding scene with background OF
roses.
All in all, 17S displays have been
planned by Arno Nehrling, show
manager, both to provide instruction
and inspiration for victory garden
ers as well as to create a glorious
oasis of beauty in a war troubled
world.

Of Interest
To Women

Have you a household problem
to solve? Write your question
clearly, sign your. name and adj
dress, enclose a three-cent postage
stamp and mail to The WOman'S
Editor, Washington Service Blu
reau, The Democrat, 1913 18th

personal reply.
Q. I recently purchased a Sec
ond-hand mahogany dining room
table and find it is full of greasy
marks. How can they best be re-
moved?
A. Scrub the table with a cloth
wrung out in lukewarm water to
which a little pure soap has been
added. Dry with a dry soft cloth,
wiping lightly and with the grain
Of the wood.
@. I've been getting some spoiled
eggs lately, but of course did not
know that they were bad until I
broke them. Is there any way to
tell a bag egg before breaking the
shell2
A. Put the egg in a pot of cold
water. If it lies on its side at the
bottom of the pot 1t is fresh. If 1t
stands on end it is turning bad. If
it floats to the top, 1t is really
spoiled.

Expansion Planned

WASHINGTON, June 10. CUP)-
Plans are benus drafted for a tre-

dia approaching the point of self
sufficiency for military purposes,
Henry Grady, former assistant sec
retary of state and head of the re-

Grady reported to President
Roosevelt on the work of his mis-
sion and told newspapermen on
leaving the White House he believ-
ed the mission had laid the foun-
dation" in India for as large an
industrial expansion as war needs
will require.
1T is a question for the military
command to decide how far they

lent at Bir Hacheim, 48 miles south :

Yesterdays attack-the 18th in

The fact that the British had di-

ed as. an indication that Rommel
had reinforced his forces at Bir
