BALL SAYSDEWEY STILL DOES NOT
 FACE REAL ISSUE

NEW YORK, Oct 26-Republican Senator Joseph Ball said that Gov. Thomas E. Dewey in his Minneapolis speech again declined to state clearly his position on vital ques- tions" concerning the proposed se- curity council.
 Ball said: "Dewey's speech, if we didn't have a record on Selective Service, Lend-Lease, repeal of the Neutrality Act and other measures, would almost convince us that it was the President and the Democrats

Mr.. ]. Morton Franklin, super
visor, says:
1t Is very necessary that the
vegetables grown from seed be
thinned out to stand far enough
apart that they have room to de-
velop properly. This operation of
thinning should start as soon as
the plants are large enough to
handle easily and must be done
before they begin to crowd. In
some cases such as beets or let
tuce, the thinned out plants can
be reset in other rows, but carrots
do not seem to thrive when
transplanted. Thinning should
be done, ordinarily, twice. Fol-
lowing the first thinning, the
plants should stand approx
mately twice as close as they need
to be left for their full growth.
In many cases the trimmings,
especially with such plants as
kale, chard, or turnip, can be used
for green's. With such crops as
radishes, beets and carrots, the
secong thinning will ordinarily be
large enough to use for the table.
Following the second thinning,
the carrots should be approx
mately 2 inches apart, the beets,
3 to 4 inches, while the more
permanent crops, such as swiss
chard of kale should stand 8 to
II inches apart.

Do you have a shady SPOT
where vegetables will not thrive?
Then plant Torenia Fournieri!
This is one of the most highly
praised ANIMALS for shade. It
was named for Olaf loren,
Swedish clergyman and botanist.
Growth is low and bushy,
height 8 to 10 inches. Foliage is
dark green. Flowers are violet
blue, blotched with dark pur-
plish-blue, and have a yellow
throat. The torenia is often
called the wishbone flower be-
cause the stamens form some
what the shape of wishbone.
The blossoms resemble snap
dragons.
This flower should be planted
In masses.
1t blooms from June to early
fall.
The torenia prefers a shady
location and plenty of moisture.
1t thrives best in a light, rich
soil.
The torenia is a tender annual.
and plants must not become
chilled. So it is best to sow seed
indoors in March, TRANSFORMING
the seedlings into the garden
when settled warm weather ap-
pears. Seed may be sown direct
ly in the garden in May, but
plants will not produce flowers
nearly as early. In transplant
ing, set plants 8 to 10 inches
apart. In the extreme South
this plant will self-sow.
Torenia is good subject for
vases and hanging baskets, as
we'll as being a satisfactory
garden flower for shaded areas.

The bidding was not quite ortho-
dox, and the playing was very bad
indeed. West dealt and passed.
North made a so-called pre-empt
bid of three hearts. Pre-empt bids
frequently lead to disaster. East
made an overcall of four clubs,
South passed and West bid four no
trump. North passed and East bid
five hearts, as she explained after
ward, to show two aces after her
partner had bid four no-trump, al
though she had first passed. South
doubled and West bid five no-trump,
which South also doubled. North
properly led the ace of hearts to
get look at the board; East and
South both followed, and West
played the queen, showing with her
no-trump bid that she still had the
king. Then was the time for North
to switch. Her partner had dou-
bled, but obviously not on hearts
or clubs, for eight Of the latter could
be seen on the board, and also OBJ
viously not on spades, for the ace
jack and one were to be seen. He
must then have a long suit of dia-
monds headed with high honors
On the lead of the ace of thai
suit, he would have thrown the
come on" seven of that suit, and
overtaken the ten to make six dia-
mond tricks and set the contract
flvetricks. BY continuing a heart
which West won, the declarer was
able to make all the clubs, which
together with one heart and three
spades, gave her six odd. Diamonds
were never led.

For Wartime Motorists
BY Frederick e.. Russell

Need for daily use of the car,
manpower shortages and the crisis
in car efficiency combine to force
the practical motorist to considera-
ton of new kind of "springtime
overhaul" for 1914. You can grasp the
idea best by considering the newly
coined phrase, "piecemeal overhaul
ing" The present status of the
home front means that this is no
time to drive into your favorite
shop with the order to do over the
car from grille to tail pipe.
The installment plan may be a
bit on the forgotten side as finan-
cial feature, but it is lifesaver in
this years servicing Of cars. There
never was more work to be done,
but it must be done in easy stages.
This should be no hardship. In fact,
there are good reasons to believe
that installment overhauling has
marked advantages. Not the least
of these is the fact that you auto
matically give one repair or ad-
justment a chance to correct other
troubles with the car.
First Step.
This is best illustrated by the
beneficial effect of precise and ex-
tensive fabrication of the chassis
and it's major units. This is the
first step in today's overhauling,
although, the habit always is to
leave this until last. Frequently
some unoiled part will set off train
of troubles or cause noise that is
easily mistaken for some serious
Inspection of front-wheel
bearings, for instance, may show that
thinned-out lubricant is working
through to the brake drums or that
the wheels are loose. Thus, what
appears to be a routine job may
prove to be both a check on pos
sible brake trouble that is brewing
and a remedy for a condition that
may be causing front-wheel shimmy
and tire wear.
So, first of all, have the car oiled
from stem to stern. Then take it
out and use it for a few days until
the lube has an opportunity to work
in where it can give maximum re-
suits. Some suspicious conditions
will doubtless clear up but others
will persist. Schedule the latter
for the serviceman's attention, but
make sure that he has f1rst-hand
with the symptoms.
Don't try to describe them to him.
The best of mechanics can get of
the track when symptoms are passed
along secondhand. There's enough
to do to the car without buying
Jobs that are not needed.
1t means that you should pay
the serviceman to drive your car
for a half-hour or so. He'll take it
up a steep hill in order to observe
thermal conditions of the cooling
system and to note the extent of
motor knocking. How the engine
operates at high speed he can de-
termine legally by driving IS miles
per hour in second gear on an up
grade. He'll drive over some rough
paving to check front wheel stability
Brakes will be tested not only for

The open pair event of the 18th
annual Old Dominion bridge cham
pionships is being played today in
two sessions at the Wardman Park
Hotel. 1t will conclude the tourna-
ment which began on Friday with
womens and mems games played
simultaneously. The open pair prize
Is the Richmond News-Leader Tro-
ply, which was won last year by
Mrs. j. E. Folline and DR.. Arthur
j. Salasky of Richmond. With the
exception of last year, when the
meet was transferred to Washington
because of war conditions, it has
always been held in Alexandria.
In the second sectional playoff ses-
sion of the Federal Bridge League
on Tuesday night the Jeeps team
displaced the romping Westerners
and crowded them out of first posi-
ton in the first section. There the
final decision may go to any one Of
five foursomes, as only a margin of
two boards separated the leading
contenders.
The Rangers have had things very
much their own way in the second
division, having won 1914 boards
and lost only 141a out of the 48
played. It Is admitted that 1t will
not be difficult for them to hold
their place with "a more boards to
be played as they are six boards
ahead of the Queen High foursome.
The number of boards they have
won is the highest in any Of the
four sections. The Nicenes, in the
fourth section, are next with 1914
won and 1914 lost out of 48. Then
come the Allies, in the third Sec
ton, with % won and 20 lost.
The experts will tell you that
when you have opened a suit, espe-
cially against no-trump contract,
it is generally best to continue that
suit whenever opportunity is af-
forded, unless, after the opening,
there is disclosed some strong rea-
son for not doing so. They will also
tell you that there are times when
it is necessary to shift the suit,
leading another. Experience should
determine when that ought to be
done.
Failure to switch the suit enabled
