was a minimum as far as high cards are concerned the distribution was beautiful for offensive purposes. He was.willing to play six spades if his partner had two aces, 80 his next bid was four no trump. At this point the villain in the “West seat threw in a monkey-wrench in the form of a five diamond bid. As you see, that was the bid North would normally have made in response to. the. four no trump. A fine situation!

Consider Doubling Opponents’ Bid Let's see what can be done about it. Always the first thing to do in a case of this kind is to. consider doubling. Notice that I didn’t say to douhje, but only to consider doubling. How many tricks’ can you reasonably hope to beat the opponents? Are they vylnerable? How many points are you ahead (or behind) in the current rubber? Is the overcaller a: notoriously loose sacrifice bidder? Many times the brash bearer of the sacrificial banner is laying his head needlessly upon the altar. Perhaps his opponents can't make a slam. Perhaps they can’t even make a game through some distributional quirk of the hand. ‘While the double deserves a good “think” and sometimes pays off ‘handsomely, I would say that if you have bid soundly throughout the auction, it is usually better tp go on than to double, especially if you are playing against good opponents. The reason is that bids like the five diamond bid described above are, or should be, “calculated risks.” That is, the player who makes such a bid has a hand which practically guarantees that the penalty he will suffer will be about equal to, or less thdn, the value of the game which his

GARDENING—

GOLDEN TREASURE—Edward Cox, 4300 E. 56th St., digs for gold nuggets in his yard. His sweet potato patch has yielded

a record harvest. The three-pou the patch.

By MARGUERITE SMITH NOT ALL BOYS who dig for treasure come up with golden nuggets. But. Edward Cox, 4300 E. 50th St., brought up a big one. Helping his mother, Mrs. Herman Cox, unearth the family yam harvest he said he was having so much fun (who says work?) he guessed he’d keep right on. He'd dig for treasure. No sooner said than up came a giant sweet potato, three pounds exactly. Two others in the same hill brought his total to five pounds. Mrs. Cox suggests that compost put in the hill with each plant last spring‘got them off to a good start. Jules Zinter, 538 Carlyle Place, says he gets better yields of sweet potatoes from the poorer part of his garden. On good land the plants joyfully grow all tops, few tubers. The secret of sweet potato success, whatever the soil, is undoubtedly a good supply of potassium, encourager of the fat roots, and not too much nitrogen, the leaf growing fertilizer. r

vides the following procedure when an opponent overcalls at the five range. If you have no aces you should pass. You should bid one “notch” higher than the overcall suit for each ace held. Thus if the overcall suit is diamonds, as in today’s deal, bid five hearts holding one ace, five spades holding two aces, five no

Mum magic: A chrysanthemum garden “the biggest part of it raised from slips, one whole section from a bouquet”—that’s Mrs. Edgar May's collection of fall flowers at 1839 Singleton St. “When I got home with the bouquet, I just went right out and stuck the stems in the ground, with the flowers still on,” she says of her casual methods. Procedure in detail: Take a freshly cut flower stalk or a piece from a plant, Strip off lower 1 a Put the stem at least naifiay in the ground. Be sure it’s“Well firmed into the soil. You don’t need a jar to cover it. Mums root easily, but you might use rooting powder for insurance. " » ” TIME-SAVER: (Sub-titled why didn’t I think of it sooner?) This week I spent some precious time practicing my own preaching. I spotted some myrtle here -and there in the grass (crab as well as blue, unfortunately) to save the lawn mower next year. But the myrtle was practically lost in the meadow we call a yard, What I needed was a bigger and bushier ground cover: Then I recalled that honeysuckle from our porch vine is forever trying to stick its toes in somewhere, while we're always rooting it out. So relax, I suggested to me. If honeysuckle likes to live here, why not use it? In the southern part of the state, it clothes road cuts, slipcovers forsaken shacks and beautifies everything it touches. Moral — when gardeners co-op-erate with the likes and dislikes of their own particular soil they get results like the man on the flying trapeze. And if our yard wants to wear a honeysuckle coat instead of a myrtle model it’s alright by us.

Friendship is a two-way street. The path becomes choked with weeds if ‘it isn’t traveled. Having a friend means being a friend. It means thinking of others, talking to others, doing for others, day after day and year after year.

Ladies, Watch Your Age Indicators

vey shows that the average girl would rather be five years older, and look young, than five years younger, and look old. That's why you ought to watch your age indicators as carefully as a steamboat engineer watches his gauges when they start to pop. Do you know, for instance, what clues a man instinctively looks for, to tell a woman's age? Of course, his estimate may be entirely wrong—and probably is—but why 'not make him err on the minus side? Why not keep giving yourself the treatment in those places where he thinks he can judge your age? : In a test where men were asked to give a girl a long, leisurely look-see and then guess her age, here are the feminine parts they look at most. : . ” - ALL OF them studied her hair, 96 per cent of them studied her face; 90 per cent looked at her upper chassis, 70 per cent noticed her hands; 54 per cent looked at her hips; 54 per cent noticed her
