No one can deny that South had a
sure game. In fact, most players
holding the South hand would be
willing to gamble on making a slam
and not care much what their part
ners held.
But you can imagine how North
felt when he heard his partners
tWo-bid, and while North's bold bid
OF seven no-trump was unnecessary
it Is quite understandable. 1t seemed
to North that South must hold a
solid tWo-suiter. with eight sure
winning tricks, and North could add
at least five tricks to this total.
Easts double was a sure thing,
and he made certain of the set by
opening the ace of diamonds. He
might then have let North in for a
greater set If he had shifted to a
heart-for North could hardly have
flnessed the ten-but East led an
other diamond. North won with the
nine in his own hand, cashed three
high cards TO discard Souths small
hearts and then entered dummy
with a heart lead.
South did not have to bid two.
nor did he have to content him
self with bid of one The perfect
bid on his hand would be an open
ing of six diamonds. North could
then realize that South was looking
for diamond strength only, and, lack

pass, regardless of the many high
cards in his hand

Harry c. Evans Is
Insurance Director
Dover Man Elected To Board OF
. Home Life

The Home Life Insurance Com
pany of America has announced the
election of Harry c. Evans of Do
YER, to membership on the board
of directors. Mr.. Evans was elected
IA director also by the Home Pro-
tective Company. which owns 49,

rsentative of the Home Life to

has been connected with the in
surance company since January 2.
1902, when he was appointed agent
at Ocean View. When he started
out as an agent it was without a
regular debit assignment, and he
was given only a bunch of applica-
tions and a small leaflet contain
ing rates. These were his only
sales equipment.
Without any previous experience,
Mr.. Evans soon began to establish
production records through the
straight canvassing method. He had
decided to make life insurance
salesmanship his career. as he had
the mental vision to see the Won
derful opportunities which it Of
fered. His perseverance and abil-
ity were rewarded in January,
1911, when he was promoted direct
ly from agent to superintendent and
was given the additional honor of
being the first superintendent of
the Dover District. Under his per-
sonal management, this district
was developed into one of the Home
Life's largest and most successful
districts, leading the entire field
for many consecutive years in Or
binary production and establishing
am exemplary condition of indus
trial accounts.
Mr.. Evans has demonstrated his
ability to develop manpower as
well as territory. Several men who
started as agents under his guild
ance have won and are occupying
responsible positions.
Mr.. Evans is a native of Frank
ford, and resident of Dover since
1911, his residence being at 12O

Wasp Proves Nemesis
OF The Mealy Bug
Puncturcs skin OF lis Arch Enemy
And Lays Eggs Inside

There's a killer on the trail of
the Comstock mealybug. and a re-
cent test in Delaware proves that
he does a pretty efficient job.
When sprays failed to control the
mealybug. entomologists turned to
parasites-whieh frequently answer
their problems-and found the
Pseudaphycus sp. This tiny wasp
punctures the skin of the mealybug,
and lays its egg inside. The young
parasite which matches feeds on
the mealybug, and lays its egg
inside. The young parasite which
matches feeds on the mealybug un-
til it dies. and then is off to lay
its own eggs in other mealybugs-
for they devote themselves exclu-
siyely to mealybugs.
