One of the best examples in
the whole of Washington of
how a deteriorated residential
area can be reclaimed by fam
lilies of average income is only
stones throw from the
United States Supreme Court
Building.
After having eradicated a
slum and created an unusual
and desirable neighborhod, the
residents of the self-contained
area now want small reward:
They want the name of their
neighborhood changed to re-
move the last vestige of it's
earlier association as a blighted
area.

Now we are in the midst of a
fishing season which is dear to the
hearts of countless persons. Ever
so many men, and few women,
are filled with delight when they
are able to take a vacation in some
area where there is good fishing.
Most often, on this continent,
those fishermen go to lake or
river in Canada or in northerly
part Of the United States. There
are men who put on "hip boots
and wade for hours along the bed
of a small stream, casting their
hooks into the water time and again
as they go along. The idea is to
tempt a trout to catch a fly"
when the hook touches the water.
If such a fisherman comes back
with a few brook trout, he feels
that he has enough reward for his
time and exercise.
Hardly less thrilled by fishing
are countless boys who use bamboo
poles without any reels on them.
I know one such boy, 9 years
of age, who has been getting up at
an early hour morning after morn
ing this summer to fish for perch
and small bass. He wanted to be
sure to get up by half past five one
morning, so he arranged to have his
10-year-old cousin come to his home
and awaken him. The night before
he set up a ladder so the cousin
could climb it and arouse him on
the porch where he slept. The way
the cousin managed to wake up on
time that morning is something I
have not heard.
We think of people as being the
only fishermen, but more f1sh are
caught by fish than by human be-
ings. Big fish catch little fish. and
there is constant life-and-death
struggle in the waters Of the earth.

Goren on Bridqe

The proper procedure when part
ner's opening bid has been doubled
by second hand is not always clearly
indicated. The advice generally
handed out for public consumption
is by and large in quite muddled
state.
One particular superstition that
seems to have gained quite foot
hold is one to the effect that "a bid
over a double shows weakness" "
That any such policy could have
sound basis in logic is highly doubt
full. The confusion, it seems, has
arisen from misconception OF the
modern convention on the subject.
It has been for a number of years a
universally accepted doctrine that
the redouble is the one instrument
for showing strength when partners
opening bid has been doubled.
The redouble may or may not de-
note support for partners suit but
the paramount consideration Is the
desire to get across this message,
partner, do not be intimidated by
the double. I think we have the
best hands and I'll tell you more
about mine later"
If, therefore, the partner OF the
opening bidder fails to redouble, the
inference is very plain that he does
not have a very strong hand. This
does not necessarily mean that he
has a weak hand. He may have just
sufficient values to render it expedl-
ent that they be mentioned, and yet
he may be in the position where IT
he does not speak at once he will be
obliged to forever after hold his
peace, since it is likely that the auc-
ton will be too high before he next
gets a chance to make public ut
terance.
Briefly, if partners opening bid
has been doubled, with good hand
YOU redouble. With a bad hand you
pass (unless you are able to give
PARTNER a raise. To bid for the
sole purpose of announcing you are
broke does not appeal to our sense
of business. With in-between hands
you usually bid at once. Occasionally
with hand that is not quite good
enough to redouble you may decide
to await developments and enter the
auction later, but in that case you
ought to be sure that you will be
able to do so conveniently.
In today's hand North's action
was quite proper. When partners
club bid was doubled, he reasoned
that he had neither a good hand nor
q bad one, but surely enough values
to let partner know that he had
something. The important consid-
Grafton, however, was that If he
waited, the bidding might reach too
high a level for him to enter the
auction with safety. After partner
had rebid clubs he felt justified IN
giving q competitive raise to three
clubs. There was no danger that
South would expect to find q very
strong dummy. for it must be borne
In mind that North failed to redou-
Bile on the first round, SO that he Is
definitely on record as having denied
possession of strong hand.

SMALL DOG
Iron, M. B. L., Washin9tonJ


Mrs. w. r. L.: You want
small dog? There are many
things to consider. First, do all
of you work all day? If you do,
it will be more difficult to train
your dog in good habits. In this
case, it might be well to turn
your dog over to a professional
trainer who will (for a consider
ate price, housebreak him, and
give him basic training in good
manners. Do not buy a dog less
than three months old, and buy
only from reputable breeders.
There are many such in the
Washington area. You specify
that you want a dog who will be
small even when full grown.
There are not many in this cate
CORY. Chief among these are
chihuahuas (not Mexican hair
less), toy manchesters, toy fox
terriers. All of these are tiny,
usually not weighing much more
than five pounds and often only
a couple of pounds. All are
smooth-haired. All are ex-
tremely affectionate. All are very
clean. They all shed, in the
spring and in the fall, and just
a bit all of the time. However,
if a dog is in good health and is
we'll brushed frequently, the
shedding isn't much of a prob
lem. Among the long haired dogs
there are the pekingese, pomeran-
ians. long-haired chihuahuas
very rare). These are all tiny.
The problem of shedding is a
bit worse for dogs about 10 to 20
pounds. There are the Bostons,
and toy schnauzers, etc., and OF
course there is always the low
able funny dachshund. The
dachshund never has any odor,
and sheds very little. The Bed
lington terrier, which looks like
a lamb and is about the size of a
wire-haired terrier or a little
larger. never sheds at all, and I
have heard that the toy French
poodles do not shed. It all boils
down to your preference in dogs.
Don't buy the first dog you see
or the first breed. Shop around,
and compare them. Try to become
acquainted with the people who
have dogs. Cultivate "dog"
friendships with the dogs you
meet on their daily walks. You'll
be surprised how many people
who have dogs will answer your
questions. They love to talk"
dogs to any one who will listen.

much easier than making a but
tonhole," maintains Helen Land
gren, home economist from the
Talon Educational Services, New
York City, who is lecturing on
simplifled Upper insertion at one
of the large stores tomorrow and
Friday. October 13 and IA. Be-
cause many home sewers are still
hidebound by "old-fashioned"
methods, they are taking longer
than necessary to stitch in slide
fasteners and they do not always
achieve the streamlined look that
is possible with this closure. Ten
rules for slide fastener insertion
will be pointed up in Miss Land
gren's lectures.
The actual steps for sewing in
a upper will be shown during the
lectures in one-two-three order
on large-sized charts and through
a series of semisewn models. In
cidentally. these up-to-date steps
are given on the upper packages,
to aid all home sewers in putting
in zippers quickly and efficiently.
Other highlights of the lecture
will be special tips on sewing zip
pers in the more professional"
plackets. such as in sleeves, gir-
dies and slipcovers. Home sewers
will be told about a special up
holstery, Upper" with wide tape
and extra strong teeth, which is
now available for slipcovers. A

shield makes girdle repairing
easy. You'll see how this fastener
is sewn in directly on top of the
same stitching lines originally

Something new has happened
to soap! Ever since the first cake
Of milled soap was placed in the
bathroom soap dish, fastidious
women have been muttering an
grily to themselves, about the
sticky mess it always leaves, and
the Shiny slivers that stick so
stubbornly to the dish. They have
been heard to complain, too, about
some types Of soap used in wash
rooms In hotels, restaurants, on
trains, along highways and even
in the office. Well, at last, there
is a personal soap cake, just for
you. that is always clean. never
shrinks, and which you may carry
with you wherever you go!
During this week. department
stores and drug stores in Wash
ington will introduce, for the first
time anywhere. an amazing new
kind of soap in a wonderful form.
A cream-lotion that contains Ian
olin in a liberal quantity to pro-
tect your skin against dryness.
You'll find this new cream lotion
toilet soap quickly develops rich,
cleansing lather. It has pleasing
fragrance and will leave your skin
soft and smooth.
The most appealing feature Of
this new soap is the fact that it
comes in an easily reflllable, nice
ly designed lucite soap cake. Al
ways the same shape and size, it
Is as easy to use and in the same
way, as the familiar cake of milled
soap. Ref1lls for this magic" soap
cake come in equally appealing
satinlike plastic pockets. each
holding the exact amount to re-
fill your, cake. With the lucite
travelling cover, you can carry
your soap in your purse or pocket
without danger of leakage. -
Sewing In a Upper. is as SIM
pie as sewing on q button, and
