Winter Witch Hazel.

You who own a bit of ground,
start thinking about making it BEAU
tiful in winter. There are numerous
shrubs that will produce bright
jacketed berries for the birds that
you can enjoy, and few will furnish
you with flowers, even with blanket
of snow covering their roots.
At present, am thinking of the
beautiful witch-hazels that bloom
in January, February and March.
The Chinese witch-hazel Is hardy,
vigorous and handsome. It is known
to florists as H. mollis. It changes
its mind when it reaches the dignity
of handsome shrub to go on to be
a beautiful tree of 30 feet high. The
foliage, is distinct, too. The under
surface wears dense hair coat and
by this shawl of short hairs you can
easily identify 1t, since no other
witch-hazel has winter apparel.
The flowers, though following the
family pattern are larger open up
one warm day in January, bright
gold, against the green leaves and
do they cheer the lawn aspect?
They deserve . place on your
premises.
The Japanese witeh-hazel H.
japonica, is q native Of the woods
In the skimpy forests of Japan.
Here 1t remains q shrub with wide
spreading branches. On our soil it
remains shrub, but its sturdy,
far flung branches must be pruned
back several times during the year.
But, its golden flowers with calyx
lobes Of dull red are contrasts not to
be passed by lightly if you love
shrubs and trees about your home.
This witch-hazel has determine
tion. When sleet or freeze arrive the
shurb having some premontion Of its
attack, closes its flowers tight and
keeps them 50 until warm sunshine
beams on them. The freeze has not
hurt them, II the weather remains
kind. the flowers stay on for three

Goren on Bridqe

The bidding Of today's hand, 1t
seems to me, may be characterized
as picturesque II not accurate.
South's bid Of two hearts over the
double was intended as an OBJ
structive measure rather than as
a strength-showing bid, although
the actual South, In view Of his IA
vorable distribution, was not too
much concerned If partner inter
preted his bid as aggressive. At
this point the normal procedure to
show power would be the redouble.
Vests free bid is justified, since
he holds one-and-a-half honor
tricks. Students will note that in
response to double a four-card
major is preferred to a flve-card
minor. The last two rounds Of bid
ding were highly speculative, each
side resorting to mere guessWork
since there appeared to be no clear
cut way to determine the possibili-
ties of the hands.
North opened the king of hearts,
which was won in dummy, and
three rounds of trumps drawn,
South showing out on the second
round. There was no doubt In de-
clarer's mind that North held the
ace of diamonds, but he hoped that
the jack was in the South hand.
He, therefore, led the three OF
diamonds. North ducked and the
queen was played from dummy
The slam went up In smoke, since
North could not now be prevented
from taking two diamond tricks.
It should have been no secret to
declarer that South held a single
ton diamond. In order to make
sure he should have cashed the
queen of hearts, and when North
showed out, South would be def
nitely marked with a six-card suit
(Which declarer should have guessed,
anyhow.
All the vigorous club bidding by
South In support of suit that
partner has never rebid certainly
marks him with five cards of that
suit. That's II, and since he has
already shown up with spade, he
can have no more than one dia-
mond. If that one diamond happens
to be the jack or nine, declarer can
still make the contract. He, there
fore, should lead the two of dia-
monds from dummy. South will
play the nine, declarer should play
the king, which North will win with
the ace. The f1nesse of the seven
of diamonds will then become aI,
almost marked play.

Speaker Discusses
Aims of Bureau

How women can help their COM
munity by supporting the Better
Business Bureau was outlined to
members of the Petworth Wom-
ems Club at a meeting held yes
terday at the Petworth Methodist
Church.
The guest speaker was Mrs.
Sally Muchmore, assistant direc-
tor of the bureau, who urged her
audience to report any malprac-
tice in advertising and selling or
suspected fraud to the bureau be-
fore the damage is done, if pos
sible. IF you are suspicious of a
business firm or a solicitor, for in
stance, get in touch with the
bureau before your money /:

Mrs. Muchmore pointed ou'
that although the bureau Is sup.
ported by business, its work is de.
signed for community service. The
cooperation of the housewife ir
reporting any suspected rackets to
the bureau aid the community, she
added.
In describing the operation of
the bureau, Mrs. Muchmore ex-
planned that it is a non-profit or
ganization established by CONNER
cial organizations to prevent
fraud, prosecute fraud, promote
fair advertising and selling prac-
tices and educate the consumer In
money management, buying and
other business relations.

In Transporting Priceless Paintings

than the German collection be-
cause there were not as many
travel complications involved, the
speaker explained. However, the
fact that the paintings were so
large, made the actual job of get
ting them into the National GAL
lery a problem in itself. he said.
"How they'll get from here tc
New York and from there to Chi
cago. I don't know" he added.
when we undertook the job
of bringing over the German COL
lection, we were new at this sort
of thing" Comdr. Merrill declared,
for we had no materials, expert
ence or skilled workers..
The trip from Munich to New
York and then to Washington had
to be made with the greatest care
to avoid any possible harm to the
priceless paintings, he said. Not
knowing how great an adherence
paint has for canvasses hundreds
of years old, we couldn't take any
chances on the slightest jarring
movement" he declared. "The
transport even took a Southern
route to New York to avoid any
sudden northerly blasts" he
added.
The speaker yesterday distrib-
uted fact pamphlets on the Aus
trian collection, and remarked
with a laugh: Ladies, you can
rattle or rustic those all you want
while I'm talking; after transport
ing those German paintings moth
ing makes me nervous!"
Comdr. Merrill also supervised
the return of the German collec-
ton. "The German people, used
to the looting ways of their former
Nazi leaders, were supremely sur
prised that we returned them," he
said. In fact, one German art
official told Comdr. Merrill that
he and his staff wept for three
days latter the Americans had
taken the paintings away with
them"
AS a commentary on the after
math of the Nazi looting of so
many European art collections,
Comdr. Merrill pointed out that
5000 paintings still lie unidentified
and unclaimed in the Art Collec-
tion Center in Munich. In answer
to a question, he stressed the
painstaking care exercised by
Allied Government officials to es-
tablish the identity of those paint
ings which have been returned to
their rightful governments and
private owners.
Mrs. Robert Swan Townsend,
president of the club, introduced
the speaker.

Modern
Marriage
Filtration Proves
Futile Trying to
Punish Husband
By Dr.. Paul Popenoe e

The scheme backfired and Mrs
c. is now an embittered and Gym
ical divorcee.
What she really wanted was to
get little more attention from
her husband. She suspected him
wrongly. I think-of being in
terested in other women.
Bill was just an easy-going fel-
low. If Mrs. c. had used any
common sense, she would have
recognized that it was not a Sc
rious threat to her. and that it
could best be handled by making
herself and the home more at
tractive.
Instead she took the advice of
her women friends with no more
sense than herself who promptly
advised, "Give him a dose of his
own medicine. Make him jealous.
That will bring him home in a
hurry" She started what she
thought was a harmless Irritation
with man in their set. Before
she realized what was happening,
it had gone much farther than
she intended. Not only that, but
it was matter of common knowl-
edge in their set.
To save his own face, Bill tried
to laugh it off: Women are like
that!" But he got his firm to
transfer him to Florida. When
Bill filed suit for divorce against
her, after the necessary 80 days
residence, she was trapped. .She
had no defense.
She has probably been told,
somewhere back in childhood. that
two wrongs don't make right. I
have just had a letter from her in
which she recalls that early
teaching, and regrets not having
practiced it. A good many hus-
bands and wives would do well to
put it into effect today.
