leading bridge players were in At
lantic City last week for the annual
winter tournament Of the American
Contract Bridge League, the games
at all the local units were well at
tended. The Federal League had a
full quota Of teams at its weekly
team OF four game Tuesday, but it
was necessary to substitute alter
mates on several of the foursomes,
and some suffered slight losses in
their percentage ratings. The
Washington Bridge League had a
successful semimonthly meeting on
Wednesday and there were Thurs
day and Saturday night games at
the Capital City Chess Club. There
also were two sessions at the
Stephan Studio.
In the Federal League the Jeeps
established a near-record by win
ming Is out of "a boards. This
enabled them to return to the first
section, from which they had
dropped two weeks before. The
Success foursome in section D won
1914 ou of 20 boards and were ele-
waited to the third division. In Sec
ton c the Fighters won 16 out of
"a boards, while Mixed Party took
141a out of "a boards in section A.
This was the 10th and last game
of the first half of the season. The
first of three sectional playoff games
to determine the half-season prizes
will occur Tuesday evening.
Mrs. ]. R. Belt and Mrs. Sybil
Newlands won by wide margin in
the Sunday night game at South
Cathedral Mansions. Mrs. Ida Ter

DR.. A. F. ODonnell was again
winner in the National Press Club
duplicate game. His partner was
Mrs. Doris Vosberg. Tom Henry and
Mrs. Dorothy Whitcomb were second
and Mr.. and Mrs. Newton Mont
gomery third. The next club game
will be held Thursday night.
The Northern Virginia tournament

Local players are much interested
in the renewed decision Of New
York City Municipal Court that
bridge is game of science and moi

police raided quiet bridge game in
the uptown section Of the city and
arrested 20 persons. The next morn

Labels are important in the gar
den, but perhaps even more SO in
retaining the identity of bulbs that
are stored over the winter. Write
labels plainly and attach them care
fully. In most cases, it is wise to
store only one variety in container.
The beds and planting spots for
roses and shrubs which are to be
planted later should be carefully
prepared now. and allowed to settle.
Make adequately large holes and fill
them with enriched top soil, using
well-rotted manure or leaf mold

About POtted
Plants
By A.. C. Mclean,
Agricultural Extension Service.

Geraniums, lantanas, begonias and
many other familiar garden plants
are well worth bringing indoors If
there is well-ventilated, sunny
place to put them.
1t Is essential to dig these plants
before the nights become cold. They
should be cut back severely before
they are potted. II they are given
good care they probably will make
a fair amount Of growth during
the winter, but 1t is not reasonable
to expect a great deal Of bloom
Practically the only way to be sure
OF having a fairly continuous array
of bloom on geraniums throughout
the winter months is to buy we'll
established plants from a local
florist or nurseryman.
Ferns and foliage plants that
have spent the summer out on the
porch or in shady part Of the
garden also should be moved in
doors without any further delay.
II they show signs of scale or
insect injury the best remedy Is a
thorough washing with a soap
and-water bath to which either
pyrethrum or nicotine has been
added. A soft brush can be used
to wash the leaves and dislodge
the insects, but there should be
no harsh rubbing. This method
is usually far more effective than
trying to spray the plants.
Bulbs are probably the most sat
isfactory house plants from the
standpoint of bloom. And this year
we have the good news that bulbs
from Holland as well as those
produced in this country are avail
able. The flowers already are
formed within most of the spring.
blooming bulbs and they will bloom
with a minimum of care. After
they are potted for use indoors
they should be kept in a cool, dark
place until the pots are filled with
roots. Then the sturdily growing
plants are ready to be brought out
into the light and warmer tempera-
ture.
They will do their best in fairly
rich soil, kept well watered and in
an atmosphere that is not too dry.
Paper-white narcissus, hyacinths,
tulips and many Of the smaller
bulbs will bloom nicely for the
Christmas season and throughout
the winter.

insects pass the winter as larvae,
eggs, etc. In most cases, this is In
the rubbish that collects in the cor
ners, under shrubbery or in the dead
leaves. In some cases, the pests
spend the winter under boards,
stones or such other convenient hid
ing places as they may find. The
weeds, leaves and rubbish may be
collected and put into the compost
pile, together with lime or ammo
MUM sulphate, which, in most cases,
will kill the hibernating pests.
Boards and stones may be collected
and properly stored or disposed Of.
Drainage Of beds should be looked
after to avoid standing water or sog-
gy soils. Such conditions favor
crown rot and other diseases Of the
roots which are often fatal to dor
inant plants. Uusually, the digging
of trenches around the beds will
insure sufficient drainage, but as
further protection, especially of
chrysanthemums, dirt may be piled
over the dormant roots. Mounding
dirt about the roses is standard
practice.
Homes for Worms.
An application of lime-sulphur
Gas a spray to shrubs, roses and
woody plants will often kill many
dormant spores as well as scale
pests that may be spending the
winter on the plants. Such a spray
should be applied only to dormant
plants, and only when the temper
ature Is above freezing and likely to
remain so for at least "a hours. We
frequently have such days in early
December, after plant growth has
been stopped. We should certainly
take advantage of them.
Collecting and burying leaves and
decayed fruit is another way Of de-
stroying potential sources of infec-
ton. The mummied grapes and
peaches, Gull apples and crabs that
hang on the branches or lie on the
ground over the winter are all
homes for worms and diseases that
will work on the next seasons
crop unless destroyed. Leaves from
rosebushes infected with black spot
should be spaded under or burned.
The cocoons Of the bag worm"
may be seen hanging from the
arborvitae and other shrubs. Col
lect and burn them, for each bag
contains a large number of eggs
400 on the average. That is lot
of worms to put out Of action in
one grab. Don't mistake the egg
masses of the praying mantis,
highly beneficial insect, which may
be seen deposited around twigs
and in the forks of limbs. They
lack the characteristic camouflage
of the bagworm cocoon.
Next Years Beetles.
The Japanese beetle grubs in the
soil, feeding on grass roots. We
should apply the milky disease"
to lawns as a means of controlling
next years crop of beetles. A pound
of the prepared material is sufh-
cient to treat 1000 square feet. One
application will permanently stop
action of the grubs in lawn.
Cut of and burn or bury all
cornstalks as method Of con-
trolling the ravages Of the Euro
pean corn borer. The stalks should
be cut at the surface Of the ground
or slightly below, and unless they

can be buried inches deep OF
more 1t Is better to burn them.
Stumps and unharvested heads
OF cabbage, broccoli and other men,
bers Of the Brassica group should
be pulled and placed in the COM
post pile, where they will soon de-
cay and add to the humus content
OF the compost, rather than leave
them in the garden all winter as
a home for insects and disease.
Destroying Troubles.
After trimming the tops from the
gladiolus bulbs and peeling the
corms, take this accumulation OF
material to the garden and bury IL
deeply or burn it. II you want to
be certain that all the thrips are
dead, 1t may be wiser to burn 1t.
Many gardeners clip the tops OF
all perennials to remove old seed
pods and dead plant material. on
the theory that they are keeping the
garden neat and trim. They are
also removing the hiding places OF
insects and diseases. Such practice
is one sure way of destroying such
troubles before they get into the
soil. However, this removes some
OF the winter protection needed by
dormant plants, but a few pine
boughs scattered over the beds will
collect fallen leaves and serve the
same purpose.
Newly sown lawns should not be
allowed to grow uncut, for the soft
succulent new grass is subject to
disease. 1t should not be closely
clipped, nor should 1t be allowed to
get more than four inches in height
Cutting not only hardens the tissues
SO that they are able to withstand
the attacks of diseases, but it en-
courages stooling, thus forming a
thicker mat.

burning is recommended,
II you have an elm tree that has
oeen defoliated this season feed 1t

growth remove all dead, broken or
dying branches.
Protect newly purchased house
plants, especially ferns, from drafts

ton in these respects, plus careful
watering, should start them of well
