CoMETIMEs we think that too little O attention is given to the fair sex in automobile advertising.
 After all, it's the woman of the house who has to do most of the shopping, which involves getting into tight places at the curb And it's surprising what tight spots Buick can fit into at turn of the wheel.
 It's the woman who likes complete freedom from things that 1t takes an engineer to operate-and complete and utter freedom from mechanical complications is exactly what makes Dynahow Drive% such a joy.

Joints for Purents BY 1dyth rhomo. wolee. u

Frank C. Pape, widely known ar
|tist, made several pictures of rab-
bits recently and sent them to me
with these notes:
"A young friend who owns Bel
|gian hare warned me, when I
visited him, that his pet would be-
come very angry when lifted up.
He thereupon caught hold of its
ears and showed me how it
scratched and kicked.
II told him that If he were
lifted up every now and then by
some giant who caught hold of his
hair, he would not like it. The
proper way to lift a rabbit is to
catch hold of its ears, so as to hold
it securely, but to put the other
hand and arm lengthwise under
meath the rabbit and thus take off
the weight.
Rabbits weigh good deal for
their size, especially Belgian hares,
which may tip the scales at 10
pounds. My young friend adopted
the plan which I outlined, and his
pet is now quite peaceful when
lifted. If a giant lifted me up by
my hair several times a day,
should do my best to become bald" ;"
The Belgian hare, of which Mr..
Pape speaks, is popular, but it is
only one Of many kinds Of rabbits
which are kept as pets. There are
angora rabbits, lop-eared rabbits
: and other types.

FRIDAY. OCTOBER 8, 1881

Mr.. Champion has all the vir-
tues of the fine tournament player
that he Is. His bids are always
correct. His play of the dummy Is
flawless. His defense is brilliant.
But he has this fault. He expects
his partners bidding and play to be
as good as his own. When partner
fails to live up to these expectations,
MFR. Champion becomes severely
critical. He starts giving lessons.
He keeps his partners miserable
This costs him lot of money but
he never learns. 1t is with partners
like Mr.. Masters that Mr.. Champion
shines.

In today's hand I saw Mr.. Cham

He was irritated at being shut
out of the bidding but there was
nothing he could do with sreason-
able safety, over the three-spade

revenge in the play.
Mr.. Masters. led the queen of
clubs which Mr. Champion won
with the ace. A survey of the
dummy, together with the bidding,
convinced him that his partner
was never going to take a trick.
He had three winners himself, but
where was the fourth coming from?
Clearly from the heart suit if from
anywhere. So Mr.. Champion led
the three of hearts, violating all
the rules about leading away from

ace. There was no way for de-
clarer to prevent Mr.. Champion
from winning two more tricks
one with the ace of diamonds and
another with the king of hearts.
Had Mr.. Champion made any
play at the second trick except a
small heart, West would have had
time to establish two diamond
tricks for heart discards and the
contract would have been made.

In suburb where I used to live,
a boy owned a pair of rabbits, and
later there were young ones. Be-
fore long he had SO many rabbits
that he took the majority to a zoo
in the nearby city. Two or three
escaped. During the years which
followed, while I strolled around
that suburb, I saw wild" rabbits
from time to time, and wondered
whether they were descended from

T axe My Word for 1t
By Fronk Colby

@. Why are legislators sometimes
called solons, and how is the word
pronounced?
A. Solon was a wise Athenian
lawmaker of the sixth century B C.
Do not say "suh-LAHN." Accent
the first syllable. which rhymes with
"toe," thus: SOE-lun.
@. What is the meaning of selah?
A. This Hebrew word occurs Of
ten in Psalms, but no one knows
its exact meaning 1t seems to in
dicate a pause. The pronunciation
Is: SEE-luh.
@. Is frustrated a good word?
A. No; there is no such word
Frustrated" is a dialectal combina-
tion of flustered, pronounced:
FLUSS-terd, and Illustrate
FRUSS-t -tray-tid.
@. May one properly speak of
kennel for CATS?
A. No, since kennel is from the
Latin CAMS, meaning dog" Though
most kennels keep both cats and
dogs, the proper designation for a
place which keeps cats is: cattery.

vegetables in our daily diet.
But getting the family to agree
to this is sometimes difficult.
We often wish they would point
out just how this is to be ac-
cOmplished. One way might
be to try different greens-not
just the usual spinach or kale
and perhaps you'll find a type
that the family really likes.
Henry Fleisher, at Stand 126,
has what might be termed a
greens bar" with six different
kinds of the vitamin-rich Ieafy
vegetables. Stop by and pick
out a type you haven't yet
served. Then take care in
cooking and dress it up with
a cheese sauce and Slivered
almonds SO that it becomes a
special dish. This may make
it a more welcome addition to
your menu.
Pears and apples are pIenti-
full now and the variety is ex-
cellent. Nick Zuras pointed out
three different kinds at his
stand GID the other day.
They were Bartlett, Seckel and
Bose. Try some of these in
your fruit cup or salad and en-
joy their mellow flavor.

 MT. Petrovich stated that the company could not possibly en- ter into the expensive rehabili- tation plan under the existing rates. You cannot get blood from a turnip' he said, and the system does not bring in enough revenue under existing rates to permit extensive re- pairs and extensions.
 Petrovich stated that the O. pening of new streets, and the increase in homa building, which make extension of water lines mandatory, IS putting more of a strain on company finances than present revenues will stand. He stated that the company IS en- titled to reasonable return on capital investment, which is not possible under the present setup.
 The offer to sell, and the flat terms of the sale took the council by surprise. The city attorney was instructed to in- vestigate all water rights and easements and to prepare a con tract of sale in the event that Seward taxpayers accept the offer.
