A ride through the county and the city shows many growing things. Wheat fields are golden brown and most of the corn that I have seen will be knee high by the fourth of July. Soybeans, oats and rye are all good looking (well to a city kid that couldn’t tell a soybean plant from rye they look beautiful!!). I can truthfully and tastefully say that this year’s crop of tomatoes, lettuce,, and

raddishes is delicious.

Among other growing things I are the flowers. Lilies seem to be very numerous. The Lily consists of six petaloid sepals, the calyx and coralla being alike in form and color. There are

The problem of entries is crucial in the play of many hands. That is why the declarer so often has to bludgeon his way into the dummy or into his own hand *o as to cash one or more tricks he would not otherwise be able to score. Sometime* th* defense can see what declarer is trying to do and prevent him from doing it, but usually the defense is helpless if the declarer, either by sheer force or by clever maneuvering, makes his way into the hand where he wants to be Here is a case where the en-

try problem is critical. South is in three notrump and West leads the king of hearts. Declarer ducks and West continues with a heart which dummy takes with the ace. Let’s say that South now cashes the A-Q of dubs, enter* dummy with a spade, and then cashes the king of club*. When it turns out that the club* are divided 4-2 instead of S-8, South has only eight tricks availabla and he eventually goes down one. South might possibly blame the result on bad luck, but th* fact is that he should make the hand despite the 4*2 club break. If he watches closely enough, he notes that West plays the 10-9 of dubs when the ace and queen are led. Right at this point South should overtake the queen with the king and return the eight to force out the jack. This play assures him of nine tricks whether the dubs are divided 3-3 or 4-2, and that is a good enough reason for overtaking the queen with the king. South has to utilise the club entry to dummy to be sure of making four club tricks and the contract, but even if it pains him to play the king and queen of clubs on the same trick, he should remember that it Only hurts for a minute.

Dear Heloise: Well in advanc* of a picnic, I prepare about one-half of the fruit drink or iced tea which we are going to take along and freeze it in plastic pint containers. I also freeze some of the drink at the same time in as many tumblers as I will need for serving each person. I use plastic tumblers with the tight sesis. At serving time, I empty the pints into a large oovered plastic serving pail and pour tap water into the pail. The frozen portions which have been made twice as strong cool the water without becoming too diluted. In the meantime, the frozen pints of tea have been used to cool and keep our picnic food fresh. I call this double duty! The tumblers are already cool and each has a nice chunk of ice because they will have melted slightly by the time you get there. H. N. N. e e * * Dear Heloise: I never apply varnish with a brush anymore. I always got too many bubbles that way along with streaks. Instead I now apply it with a soft cloth. Just rub it on and you will have a nice smooth finish with no bubbles or streaks. Martha. P. e * * « Folks, be sure the cloth is lint free. I tried it and it’s the greatest. Faster too. Heloise Letter of Laughter Dear Heloise: Here is a special hint for those who travel with small children: Buy one of the little wooden paddles which has a ball and rubber band on it (about 15c at your dime store) . . . and then throw away the ball and rubber string. Keep the paddle in the front seat of the car. It’s a good reminder to the children to stop fighting, putting their heads or arms out the windows, etc. If they know you’ll stop the car and use the paddle on their little behinders, you won’t have much trouble! Audrey oooo Dear Heloise: I find that peg boards with the little wire hangers are a real help in keeping things IN order and dangerous things OUT of reach of small children. I have one board on the wall in my sewing room to keep my thread, scissors, tape, etc., within easy reach and in plain sight I use me in my kitchen for such items as pancake turner, cooking spoons and forks, measuring cup and spoons, etc. These boards are easily painted to match any decor and are the handiest gadgets I have in my home. The various wire hangers and little shelves can be rearranged and spaced any way you want. They are inexpensive and one can buy them in any size. Mrs. J. D. Guess * * * * Dear Heloise: Before even trying to hang curtains which have been washed, I always roll a marble through the casing that the rod goes through.. Then the curtain rod goes through easily. No snags! Anne Cameron * * * • Dear Homemakers: If you have a houseplant that suddenly gets a yellow leaf or becomes dry and degenerated . . . pinch the leaf off immediately as it WON’T grow healthy again and it is only sucking the NEEDED life from the rest of the plant. This is especially true on philodendron and ivies. Most times (so I am told by a top

authority) if the leaf is pinched close to the stem . . . another leaf will come out! Mine does. Heloise * * * * Dear Heloise: Here is a wonderful way to put an old toothbursh to good use. When my husband gets cigarette tobacco in his pockets, I turn them inside out and use an old toothbrush to brush out the tobacco before laundering. Gladys Craig
