There's a special knack to max
ing wonderful home made bread,
most cooks firmly believe. What
ever it is, Mrs. George Bankey of
615 West Third street has it!
She makes "Beer m Bran
Bread" that is unusual and deli
cious, and has a couple of special
cooky recipes you'll want to try.
Ruth's husband, who is with the
Northern Ohio Maytag, and small
daughter Judy will tell you they
make mighty good eating.

One morning this week / heard
over the radio a transcription of a
talk by T. H. Parks, entomologist
at Ohio State University.
He was talking about the huge
number of insects on the loose in
the world today. In order to list
each one, it would take an eight
column, eight-page daily newspa.

and that counts Sundays, too,
There would be no headlines, all
fine print. If you ask me, that's a
lot of bugs.

about four thousand more are dis
covered and named. wonder il

thick in shrubs, trees, and bushes
this year is new one. It some
what resembles baby june bug.
They're bad enough in the yard,
but in the woods, they fly up in
huge Swarms whenever you touch
the branch of a tree.
They might be doing us some
good, though, in former years the
cows were bothered so by mos
quitoes in the woods, they
wouldn't stay there for more than
an hour at time, but now they
don't seem to be the least bit anx-
ious to get out of the woods.
Perhaps these creatures are ma
tural enemies of mosquitoes, but
it would be silly to suppose that
we'd seen the last of these pesky
little vampires.
I'll bet some hot and humid eve-
ming this summer you'll think
that threequarters of the worlds
mosquito population is right in
your back yard, lowering over
you in hopes that in some un-
guarded moment it can snatch
one juicy morsel of you.

But: If the nominativs plural
ends in an s-sound, add to the

In compound words the pos

the last word, as: my mother-iE- :

Never use an apostrophe with
possessive pronouns, as: oneself,

If the possessive case is used
for inanimate objects, the apos-
trophe should not be omitted, as:

The plural of letters and of

as: His US were like VS. and

@. How are gardens and or
chards protected from frost?
A. Several ways have been
found to guard them. The
smudging. or smoking, idea is
very old, and it works to a
certain extent. The smoke tends
to keep the ground from losing
so much heat after sunset. On
the other hand the smoke tends
to spread SCOT.
Another way to fight frost is
to cover the plants or trees with
cloth on nights when the Wealth
er Bureau predicts that frost
win come.

Mr.. Champion led the ten of
hearts and dummy's singleton
king won. Obviously, one Of the
long suits had to be set up in
order to win nine tricks. The
question was, which suit?
Spades didn't look too good.
They were far from solid and
even If they could be set, where
would Mr.. Dale find entries to
his hand-unless the defenders
were kind enough to lead hearts?
Mr.. Dale next examined clubs,
the suit in which he had the
most cards in the combined
hands. AS the cards were dis
tributed he would have had to
give up only one trick to set the
balance of the suit.
Give up one trick to cash four.
That looks pretty good on the
surface. But wait. Let's count.
If the old boy went after the
clubs he would get four club
tricks, three hearts and one
spade-Gght trick in all, or one
short of game.
Actually, he went after the
diamonds, which was the correct
decision. It was simply a mat
ter of counting up to nine. If
the suit broke no worse than Az,
there were three sure diamond
tricks. These, added to one
spade, three hearts and two clubs
would be enough for game.
SO at trick two a small dia-
mond was led to the nine in the
closed hand. Mr.. Champion won
with the king and fired another
heart. Mr.. Dale won this trick
with the queen and led another
diamond. The ten in dummy
drove out Mr.. Masters ace.
Mr.. Dale won a third heart
lead with his ace and his nine
tricks were now available. In
planning the play of this hand
he followed a principle you will
want to remember In deciding
between two suits of equal length
1t is usually (rlot always) best to
set the suit in which you do not
have the top honors.

Mrs. Stone told members Of
the club she thought those who
were for me because I was a
woman, outnumbered those who
were against me because I was a
woman"
Reminiscing about her expert
ences during the campaign, she
pointed out the differences in
speaking before a friendly audi

friendly.
One of the first things a can
