Not too many dishes can
claim to be native American in
origin but one of the few is un-
doubtedly chowder. The word is
thought to be a corruption of
the early French settlers "chau-
deere" meaning a huge cook
pot, but whatever, its origin,
chowder has come to be pecul-.
iarly our own, particularly when
it involves CLAIMS. A reader asks:
"Will you give authentic re-
cipes for the two kinds Of clam
chowder-New England and
Manhattan"
Glad to-but I'm afraid that
any recipe given as authentic
on such a controversial topic as
clam chowder would be chal-
lenged from all sides. The broad
division is clear enough-New
England chowder's made with
milk, Manhattan with tomatoes,
and devoteeS Of one will have no
part Of the other. Even among
New England chowder fanciers,
however, there's dispute over
such questions as when to add
the onions-indeed. whether to
add them at all--and the use of
flour as thickener. And, / have
learned. there Is third entry in
the chowder sweepstakes-a New

not authentic) and fairly typical

To Mrs. A. M. NJ, Spring
field, about African violetS:: !
have two plants of African
violets. Mine are pink, and
to get rid Of the tiny white
bugs, just take a tooth pick,
wrap q little piece Of cotton
around one end of it and dip
in finger nail polish remover.
Then swab the parts that you
see any bugs on. This got
rid of the bugs on mine. DO
you keep your violets in a sau-
Ger Of water? I do, and they're
growing nicely.
To make prize plants Of
your violets. you should take
q small penknife and cut out
q half dozen or so of the tiny
leaves. but be careful not to
cut the stems of the large
leaves, and your plants win
thrive better. Too many small
leaves stunt the growth Of the
large ones.
Does any one have some in
formation on honey bees?
How might ! get them out Of
my bedroom walls? They came
into my house in the middle Of
May. and ! am afraid they
might swarm again. They did
swarm once and there were
bees all around the place.

The goldfinch, searching for

nest. Thus the goldfinch is some
times known by the name,
"thistle-bird."
The Tall thistle known from
Massachusetts, to Texas is seen in
full bloom from late July to Sep
tember, setting seeds by October.
It's habits are identical with
those Of the bull, pasture, and
Canada thistle.
To outwit these offensive
neighbors, all you need do is to
steadily deprive them Of their
leaves. Two years without leaves
will kill the plant and save the
effort of digging deep for the
long taproot.
Thistles propagate by seeds.

A. It is incorrect. Such words

anybody, every one, everybody, no
one. nobody, etc., are singular,
and should be followed by a
singular verb. In your sentence,
the verb was" is correct; but
the plural pronoun them" is
incorrect. It would be better to
write it thus: Some one was
prowling about. but the constable
didn't see him Cor: :. didn't
see the prowle).
@. Which sentence is correct?
II could not find it anywheres. ?"
II could not find it any place"
A. Neither is correct. Ac-
cording to good authority, ANY

The thistle has only one friend
in nature-the butterfly. Toward
all other living creatures it main
tains a hostile attitude. It once
figured prominently in Scottish
history and was adopted as their
floral emblem.
The common, or bull thistle,
ranges from Newfoundland to
Missouri. It presents its lovely
blue blossoms from July to Octo-
ber, setting its seeds from August
to November. It's chosen growing
site is in pastures, fence rows
and roadsides. Many brighten
waste places by their blue color.
If unmolested until they are
two years old thistles mature
into a fine crop. During their
first year they establish a deep
taproot, which is a firm founda-
ton to stand upon and a source
from which to draw nouriSh-
ment. In this first year they
present a large tufted spreading
rosette of leaves, two more as
sets for their prosperity, for
when a plant produces a strong
resource of leaves to garner SUM-
shine you can count on it being
sturdy. The thistle leaves are
three to six inches long and
lance-shaped. deeply pinnatifld,
and with lobes tipped with
needle-sharp spines. The upper
surface of the leaf is a deep
green to the sight, rough and
hairy to the touch. The under
surface is clothed with brownish,
webby wool which disappears
with age. The stems are two to
falr feet high. stout and branch

DEPENDABLE Baseball
Manager. Wilbert Robinson
was the field boss of the
Brooklyn Dodgers when the
Buns" were at their DAFT
fest. The players genius for
getting their signals crossed
had Robinson tearing his
hair in the dugout.
Once. the Dodgers brought
up a rookie from the minors.
When he donned his uni
form for the first time, Rob-
inson took him aside.
"You and I will get along
OK, kid. if you'll remember
one thing" said Robinson.
When I tell you to do some
thing, do it,"
In that afternoons game,
the Dodgers came to bat in
the last half of the ninth in
ming, with the score tied.
After two men had been re-
tired, the Brooks filled the
bases. Robinson called on the
rookie to pinch hit.
This is your big chance,
kid" he told him. "Remem-
ber now, no matter how close
the pitcher throws it, don't
back away from the ball!"
The rookie took his posi-
ton in the batter's box, and
leaned over the plate. The
first pitch was a fast ball,
that came over high and in
side. The rookie refused to
bulge and the ball bounced
off his skull. After a few
seconds. he got to his feet
and logged down to first
base, as the winning run
scored.
The first base coach was
still shaking his head in dis
belief as he strolled back to
the clubhouse with Robin
son.
THAT kid is nuts" he said.
I'll guess you'll be sending
him back in a hurry"
"Send him back?" cried
Robinson. Are you crazy?
He's the only one around
here who obeys orders!"

GA14 HoEO
Mrs. Keen opened the ace of
hearts and Mr. Dale ruffed. He
laid down the king of spades
and Miss Brash won with the
ace and fired another heart.
Here Mr.. Dale went into quite
q huddle.
Any way he figured it. it ap-
peared that he was headed ior
defeat if either opponent held as
many as four spades. On the
other hand, the contract would
be easy to make if either oppo-
nent now had the jack of spades
alone. But he thought that was
asking for too much luck and he
tried to think of some other line
of play.
What would you do at this
point? You are left with the
queen and seven of spades. If
you ruff with the seven and lay
down the queen, one opponent
will be left with the good jack
of spades. That opponent will
ruff in on the run of the dia-
monds and lead another heart
or a club. In any case there
will then be no way to return
to your hand to run the rest
of the diamonds.
Mr.. Dale solved this ticklish
problem in an unusual manner.
He realized he had to have con-
tact with his diamond suit after
trumps were out. Therefore, at
the third trick, he "unneces-
sarily" ruffed with the queen of
spades and followed with the
lead of his last spade.
Dummy's 10 was taken by
Miss Brash with the jack and
she returned another heart. But
everything was now under full
control.
Mr.. Dale discarded a small
club and ruffed on the board
with the eight of spades. He
led the nine of spades to pick
up Miss Brash's last trump, dis
carding his last club. Now the
rest of his hand was all dia-
monds-and all good.

Shad Time Along the Potomac

"f1y fishing of the commercial fisher
man" Tides must be judged accu-
rately and the fine nylon thread net
played out with great skill.
Choosing the hours before dawn,
Mr.. Winn maneuvers his boat over a
shelf-like drop, a favorite spawning
spot. Consulting tide tables and
guided by his experience, he starts
playing out his net about IS minutes
before the tide stops running (He is
allowed by law to use 200 yards of
net After the net drifts free for a
while, he begins pulling it in before
the tide changes.
The final step of the operation,
shown below, is tricky one. The
shad, which weigh about 4 pounds
each, must be disengaged carefully
from the net. Despite Mr.. Winn'S
care, the net sometimes gets torn,
anyway, by "unwelcome" fish, espe-
cially carp.
The middle of April is the peak of
the shad season in this area. 1t will
end May 26. Mr.. Winn lives at 7106
