site a hand which East has de-
clared by his double contains at
least three primary tricks in this
case it was actually 31a and one
of them in the opponents suit
almost always means game. A two
heart bid would give no such in
dication.
North continues with three spades,
and East, having his partners king
and two other aces and a second
king, bids four hearts. South Is
brave and calls four spades because
he has three to the jack, void In
hearts and the ace of clubs on the
side. If East doubles West should
take him out again by bidding five
hearts, for he has no defense against
spades and his partner has heart
support along with his three-trick
double.
North and South can make four
spades, but not five. On the other
hand, only the lead of two clubs
can prevent West from making six.
If a spade is led, East wins with

losing club. He wins all the other
tricks, seven hearts, one spade and
four diamonds.
Such a result depends ON Vests
Jump bid of three hearts over his
partners double of one spade.

quets they are valuable for dressing
up the garden by filling in vacant
spaces in the perennial border, and
as a cover in the bulb border after
the bulb foliage is dead.
Annuals differ from our perma-
nent paintings, perennials, in that
they sprout from seed, flower and
develop a seed crop In one season.
1t Is well to recognize this habit
since 1T has q bearing upon a most
important cultural practice with an
nuals. Most Of them will bloom over
a long season If the flowers are re-
moved after they fade. Zinnias, for
example. have long been known as
cut and -come-again." In other
words the more they are cut the
more they viii bloom. When seed
are allowed to form they have fin
tshed their mission in life and die,
Most gardeners will deem it un-
wise to try to grow animals from
seed this late in the season. Nc
doubt IL would mean delaying the
fidEAI display until late July Of
August. Plants, however, may be
purchased from plant growers and
the Towering season thus brought
that much closer. t,.< \
As mentioned above there are q
great many kinds Of ANIMALS tx
choose from, some of which are
available in many types. The Zin.
mia, for example, may be had as 9
tiny pompon or button, the frilled
Fantazy type, the crested form, q
creeping type, one called Mexican
and the Giant f1owered.
The marigold has even more types
of flower form. Some of which are
available in the newer odorless
foliage. There are the single and
double dwarf French, dwarf Scotch
the tall African, as well as the
many hybrids The newer Chrys-
anthemum- -flowered varieties are
especially attractive. All of the
marigolds have long-lasting flowers
and thus are very acceptable for
summer bouquets.
Other useful ANIMALS include the
snapdragons, annual phlox, scabi-
,osa, nasturtiums, sunflowers, pop
pies, cornflowers, chrysanthemums
gaillardia, pinks, salpiglossis. ver-
bena, sweet alyssum, forget-me-
nots, etc. Some of these, however
are not satisfactory unless planted
early in the spring-poppies, lark
spur, cornflower, etc. A few, in
cluding the poppies (Shirley and
Opium, California poppy, ETC., can
not be transplanted.
ANIMALS do best in a well-pre-
pared seed bed. Deep culture is
not as essential for the shallow
rooted ANIMALS as it is for the
deeper-rooted longer-lasting pc
rennials. However, a bed having
plenty of compost or wen-rotted
manure is essential If the plants
are to make strong growth and pro-
duce large flowers. Such a bed
helps to keep the plants growing
satisfactorily through the heat of
the summer. Without the use of
commercial fertilizers (most kinds
are restricted to vegetable gardens)
We need the compost and manure to
furnish food for the vigorously
growing plants.
Animals, when purchased as
plants, are usually planted far
enough apart, grown from seed
are often left too crowded for
good growth. Like the vegetable
crops, they need room in which to
grow both below the surface of the

team, but the latter came from be.

a margin of a board and a half
Sixty-four boards were played ir
the two sessions. The winning team
takes the Luther Stewart Cup anc
will hold it for year. Maj. Rich
mond H. Skinner, president of the
American Contract Bridge League
is captain of the Army team.
The event was the last one of the
1884 season series of team games
For the remainder of the summer
the league will play pair games each
Tuesday night, and nonmembers
who are invited guests will be per-
mitted to participate. The new Sc
ries of team games for members only
will be started in September.
While the team playoff was in
progress the other members of the
league and their guests indulged
in pair game at which there were
II tables.
The winners were: North and
South, Mr.. and Mrs. John Donnelly
first; Mrs. Alma Byrne and George

second, and Mrs. j. D. Boyd and
Mrs. Roberts, third. East and West

charge of the tournament, which
will be directed by Capt. Russell J.
Baldwin as formerly.
One other of these regional meets
remains to be held in Washington
this summer. 1t will be the Cum
berland Valley event, usually played
at Frederick, Md. 1t is also an
American Contract Bridge tourna-
ment and will be similarly con-
Quoted.
The Washington Bridge League
played the first of its two big June
pair games last Wednesday night
at the Shoreham Hotel. The second
game will be played June 81. It
Will be an open game, in which
nonmembers will be allowed to par

have played a definite number of
games In order to qualify.
Because of the possibilities that
1t presents and its absolute bidding
requirements, the deal given below
is worthy of comment. 1t was
played at the Federal Bridge League

MANY LABOR DISPUTES
ARE ADJUSTED BY NLRB

Washington, D. C.--Employers are
increasingly accepting the principles
underlying the National Labor Rela-
tions Act and employees are using the
National Labor Relations Boards
machinery more, rather than resorting
to direct action and strikes, Dr.. Harry
A. Mills, chairman, said in submitting
the boards eighth annual report to
Congress.
Fewer charges of employer unfair
labor practices were received than in
any of the five preceding years. Re-
quests for secret ballot elections eX-
ceeded the total for any year since the
boards inception. DR.. Mills declared
that the unprecedented recourse to
orderly elections was all the more
noteworthy, since rs per cent of all
elections were one-union situations
The total of 9,543 cases filed was
the third largest in the boards his
tory. Of these, 6,140 were election
cases, and 3,403 were unfair labor
practices.
