Ceiling Price Protest
May Delay Opening
OF Tobacco Markets

Southern Maryland tobacco ware
housemen, scheduled to begin the
sale of the 1914 tobacco crop to-
morrow, today prepared to delay
the opening Of markets pending an
appeal to the Once of Price Ad-
ministration against a reported S.
cent ceiling price.
Frank Hall, president of the
Southern Maryland Looseleaf Ware
housemen's Association, explained
today that newspaper stories are the
only indication tobacco men have
had that the ceiling price has been
lowered from the 62-cent top of last
year to SIS cents this season.
On the strength of this announce
ment, Mr.. Hall said, growers repre-
sentatives from the five major to-
bacco producing counties of South
ern Maryland met yesterday to pro-
test the lowering of the ceiling and
urged markets to do no business un-
til an appeal could be made to OPA
Warehousemen Meet Today.
Warehousemen will meet today to
decide whether to open tomorrow
Mr.. Hall said.
Markets were scheduled to open
tomorrow at Baltimore, Upper
Marlboro, La Plata, Hughesville and
Waldorf, and Mr.. Hall commented
that, even if the ceiling is to re-
main the same some Official notice
should be in the hands of ware
housemen before the opening.
Yesterdays meeting requested
Senators Tydings and Radcliffe and
Representative Sasscer, Democrats
Of Maryland to ask for a meeting
with the OPA to appeal the 55-cent
ceiling.
Mr.. Sasscer, present at the meet
ing, went on record as favoring the
same ceiling price that applied last
year. THE idea of price control is
to stop prices from soaring, not to
press them back from year to year,
he asserted.
Ceiling 'in Channels"
OPA officials explained that the
adjusted ceiling price Is now in sig
nature channels and is to reach the
Federal Register division today,
when omcial notice will be sent
warehousemen.
The OPA said this years ceiling
adjustment was made because of the
unusually high quality Of Maryland
leaf" which should bring growers
an average Of 48 cents a pound, with
a ceiling cents lower than last
years. The crop last year averaged
4S.3 cents with . 62-cent calling.

Uncle Roy's Corner

One of my friends told me this
story:
"A Victory gardener had some
extra onions, and offered to give
them to a neighbor. She said that
If she happened to be away when
the neighbor called, the onions
could be picked up in the kitchen.
In due course the neighbor ap-
peared and picked up what he sup
posed were onions, but which really
were tulip bulbs. The mistake was
not discovered until after the bulbs
were cut up and placed in salad"
The mistake may make us smile,
but here is a point about it. tulips
and onions belong to the same plant
family! In the science of botany
they are grouped together as mem
bers of the lily family.
The lily family has several other
important members. 1t contains
Madonna lilies, tiger lilies and lilies
of the valley, along with hyacinths
and dog tooth violets. In the vege-
table world we find that asparagus
and garlic plants. as well as onions,
are branches of the lily group.
In everyday language, however,
lilies are flowers of special kinds

Among them, Bermuda lilies are In
great favor in early spring. These
fine, large, white flowers are grown
in greenhouses and elsewhere, and
the blossoms appear in time to give
a show of beauty to the Easter holi-
day. Often they are called Easter
lilies"
Madonna lilies also may be classed
as Easter lilies, and in past times
were the chief lilies which went by
this name. During the present CEN
tury they have given place to a
large extent, to Bermuda lilies as
special Easter flowers.
Many lilies are white, and this
is true of the pretty lilies of the
valley. Other lilies have bright
colors. These include the red lilies
of Syria and the orange lilies of
Southern Europe.
Tiger lilies have plenty of color
ing. being orange spotted with
black. In some marshes of the
United States they have been found
growing wild to height of or 8
feet.
An 8-foot lily is a tall one, but
India has lilies which make even
better records, Some of the lilies
in India grow to be from IL to IA
feet high. They have white bios

Opening lead, six of spades.
Many an important hand has
been lost through sheer laziness on
the part of a defender. East's fall
ure to take the trouble to signal at a
critical point in his hand con-
tributed to the disaster which over
took his side, albeit his partner
should nevertheless have averted
the catastrophe by the exercise of
common sense.
The bidding was highly competi-
tive, and at the end everybody was
guessing. East's pass Of the six dia-
mond bid was actually forcing
pass asking partner to double or bid
six spades. West was quite con-
vinced that six spades was unattain-
able but decided not to double for
fear it might induce declarer to play
him for the missing trump honor.
West made the routine opening Of
the six of spades, a very thoughtful
choice. In view of partners vigor-
Gus bidding there was a great likeli-
hood that one of the adversaries
was void of the suit and I would
have preferred a heart lead on the
theory that partner had something
in that suit.
South ruffed the opening lead and
led low diamond to the ace. don't
think that was a sound guess East,
who has jumped to four spades.
then bid five and made a forcing
pass of six diamonds, is much more
likely to be void If the suit fails
to break. The play of the king Of
diamonds first is therefore superior
and would have brought in all 13
tricks.
When declarer got the bad news.
he returned a diamond. East with
out giving the matter much thought
let go little spade and declarer
ducked the trick. He reasoned that
if he played the king and then dia-
mond, East realizing that his part
ner had a trump trick would wake
up to the necessity of signaling vio-
lently in hearts. West won with the
queen of trumps and, fearing to lead
from the king of hearts, returned d
club and school was out.
Failure to lead a. heart at this
point ranks as a major atrocity. If
partner has club trick it cannot be
lost. If he has heart trick 1t might
be lost by failure to lead it i'm
