The world championship Masters individual tournament is a gruel- ling contest of five sessions. To finish in the runner-up position is very disappointing, of course, be- cause one can see so many places where a little different action could have won the tournament. But Charles J. Solomon of Philadelphia, this years runner-up, did very well for himself on the hand shown to- day.
 When Solomon played this hand he happened to be paired with Mrs. Benjamin M Colder, with whom he has won many championships. Sitting East, Solomon bid four dia- monds in the hope of interfering with North and South. When North bid five hearts, however, he realized that North-South were going to a slam. His siX-club bid was a de- mand that the club suit be opened when the slam contract was reached.
 AS it happened, the slam could not be made, but to be certain of it, Mrs. Colder opened the queen of clubs, a suit-directing play, so that when Solomon ruffed, spade re- turn was indicated. Mrs. Colder won and led another club, giving Solomon second ruff.

By BETTY MACDONALD NEA Staff COrrespOndent

Washington, May 19 - Treasure those tufted toothbrushes! In the near future, WIPE and the manu- lecturers will have worked out a plan to eliminate the over sized, over-tufted toothbrushes and to pre- sent a standardized, streamlined model to America.
 Already toothbrush production has been reduced 20 per cent. Be- cause it is the only satisfactory sub stitute for bristles, nylon is still al- loted from precious war needs for toothbrush manufacture. WIPE ex- perts are searching for substitutes for the plastic handles and three tons of wire used annually in mak- ing toothbruSheS. The problem eX- tends, likewise, to hairbrushes. items which Germany, England and Can ada have ruled essential enough to continue production.
 MORE WORRIES
 Due to shortage of broomcorn (most of it's imported from South America), broom manufacturers must crtail the weight and sizes of the War-model brooms, in order to produce more brooms. In experi- mentS, grass and other filters have not proved satisfactory substitutes.

 And to top it all, well-tailored casual coat must be included to ward off the chill of summer nights.

Queen of the USA.

Mrs. Briggs is living proof that adventure
may begin at SO in ones own backyard and
blossom into worldwide renown at three

another housewife longing to do something
adventurous and worth while Today, giadi-
olus fanciers and experts from all over the
world beat path to her hybridizing garden
IN Southern California.
What launched her on this notable career?
Twenty five years ago. says Mrs Briggs, her
husband clipped from a magazine an article
that pointed out the commercial possibilities
of growing giadiolus bulbs at home. The
Briggs family lived in Sacramento at the

afternoon Elizabeth Briggs rented it. and with

ued to do all the spading, hoeing, watering
herself. The glads increased so miraculously
that at the end of the fourth year she harvest
ed bumper crop of over 100000 bulbs and
bulblets
Now we have enough stock to go into
bulb growing as business she told her
husband.
Charles Briggs gave up his job, they made
a down payment on five acres just outside
Sacramento, and planted their bulbs hope
fully. Quality glads were in great demand,
and Elizabeth Briggs soon lined up 5000
worth of orders, which appeared easy to fill.
But when they harvested at the end of sum-
mer, the bulbs were far between.

for a single bulb of Mrs. Frank Pendleton.

But the Mrs Frank Pendleton blossom was 50

dollars she could lay her hands on, and bought
several dozen more Mrs Pendletons resolv-

But Elizabeth Briggs wasn't beaten. She
managed to save enough bulbs to plant two
acres in new location the following spring.
These increased prodigiously, and when thew
planted the year after, it looked like $1,000
crop. But once more we sat down in wire
worms" says Mrs Briggs. "All we harvested
was six hundred dollars worth of bulbs"
Out of that, she saved 500 to buy more
choice seed stock This time Mrs. Briggs had
an idea
s'I'm not going to just raise bulbs,'
she told her husband. ''I'm going to
originate new glads.'
The following summer found the Briggs
family, including their son Donald, on rented
three-a1e farm near Monterey. They planted
every available foot of it to bulbs, and Eliza
beth Briggs began crossing outstanding varie-
ties Again the bulbs increased beyond their
fondest dreams, and when Donald inventoried
the stock they harvested and stacked in boxes
under an oak tree, it made their heads SWIM
At prevailing prices the bulbs we're worth
$1,000! Having no place to store them, the
three Briggses slept with their bulbs every
night for six weeks under the oak tree to
guard them until they could be shipped to
dealers.
Advexs;ty
WHEN they outgrew the little Monterey
farm, the Briggs family moved to Carmel
Valley where they planted enough bulbs for
100000 crop. Again they sat down" in
wire worms and got out of the valley with only
seed stock. Next they moved to Southern
California More than once they were almost
wiped out by enemies. One year it was thrips
Another time they had their soil treated
chemically to kill the pests; it killed the bulbs
as we'll One winter freeze took thousands
of bulbs. Another time the cold winds de-
stroyed the seed crop.
But to Elizabeth Briggs, who refused
to give up while she evolved her hybridiz-
ing technique, it was all great adventure.

den where she makes her crosses and grows
the resulting seeds to bulbs. In this garden she
pampers about $4,000 glads. Nobody else is

works day after day, crossing the outstanding
varieties by artificial pollination.
Today the war has curtailed the CONNER

Milk Has
Ideal Food

BY DR.. THOMAS ID. MASTERS
Written for NEA

II there were such a thing as
health food '-(but there is
not, since health depends on
many foods)-milk might come
closest TO that theoretical ideal
Milk, however, is more properly
called protective" food in that
it protects against nutritional
failure This high nutritional
value in milk is due to the qaul-
ity Of its protein, TO its richness
in minerals and vitamins. and to
the easy digestibility of its fats.
Besides being highly nutri-
tious, milk is also an economical
food, fact rarely given full
credit On the basis of market
values, the protein of milk costs
less than that of lean beef, and
it is cheaper than that of eggs
by similar computation. II
its vitamins and mineral values
are thrown into the reckoning,
milk will become even more
valuable. II cannot substitute
for meat-or any other single
food-but 1t supplements all ad-
mirably.>s
DANGER OF RAW MILK
Raw milk, secured under ideal
conditions of cleanliness and
health, in small communities
and in farm districts, is relative
ly safe. But no milk that is raw
is capable OF being pronounced
absolutely safe from invasion by
harmful bacteria which only
high temperature can kill.
Transportation over long dis
tances is problem of modern
life that greatly enhances the
opportunities bacteria await to
multiply and grow, and it is par
ticularly because of this factor
that pasteurization is compuis-
DRY in most places.
Pasteurization holds the milk
at temperature from 142 to
las degrees F., and the milk is
cooled at once thereafter. 1t
cannot do all the work-or take
the place of clean milking pro-
cesses, immaculate dairy condi-
tons, and proper handling all
along the way, but it is the final
necessary supplement TO give
complete safety. Naturally, even
pasturized milk should be kept
cool, and not stored too long, for
it, too, can become dangerous
throu. h too long standing under
improper conditions.
Pasteurization does destroy
vitamin c easily replaced in the
diet by citrus fruits or toma-
toes) but il is a bargain before
the names of milk borne dis
eases like typhoid fever, undu-
liant or Malta fever, tuberculos-
is, septic sore throat, and intes-
final diseases in infants. Any
one can pasteurize his own milk
by keeping it at 100 degrees F.
for 20 minutes, and cooling it
Immediately.
CAN CULTIVATE TASTE
Many people say they cannot
take milk. but such is rarely
true statement of fact. Most of
these are people who just do not
like milk. II they can take il in
cooked food and cheeses, they
can tolerate II very we'll.
Phobias Of this type should
not long be put up with, espec1
tally regarding a food as import
ant as milk. In part il will fill
out protein shortages under ra-
tioning OF meats and fats. and in
so doing we shall probably
