Most fanciers agree their pets should have a touch of frost to slow them down and really put them to sleep before they're hilled. ‘ Here's what one nursery does with some 32,000 rose plants to José less than 3 per cent in a specially bad winter. ONE. Hybrid teas, floribundas: Hill up to 8 to 10 inches around each bush. After plants are dormant, cut hybrid teas to about 12 inches, floribundas to about 14 inches. Cover whole bed with leaves or straw after ground is frozen. TWO. Climbers. (In our climate use this for only the more tender or more exposed plants): Unfasten canes and lay them on | ground. Cover with straw or leaves. Or, if they're protécted, wrap with burlap in place.

Personality Is Related to Color Choice

By ERNEST E. BLAU F YOU'RE A SALESMAN, mister, don’t wear a bright red tie—it will tend to arouse resistance and fighting instinct in your prospect. Stick to cooler, milder colors, especially those on the soft violet side. . So advises an authority who has studied the psycho-

Schools, factories, hospitals are finding out that the colors used in interiors affect men and women emotionally, mentally and sometimes even physically. I was reading the other day where a drinking fountain in a factory, painted a dingy yellow, was repainted a nice, clean green. People didn’t

—but they remarked how much cooler the water tasted.

= = ” ONE psychologist who has interviewed thousands of men and women has found that people fall into groups along with their color preferences. For instance, self-confident, active people tend to like red. The intellectual type, reserved and not too companionable, seem to like yellow. Folks who are conservative in word and dress like blue. People who are rather selfsatisfied and often artistic prefer violet, Those who seldom get excited about anything like brown. And people who are

Odds for You After Sacrifice Bidding

D—8 42 C—A 8 2 The bidding: East South West North 1C 1S ZH Pass 2NT Pass 4H 4 8 Double Pass Pass Pass

MR. DALE, North in today’s deal, doesn’t do much subtle bidding. He is likely to jump straight to game when he thinks he can make it, with no thought of two or three delicate inferential bids on the way. In today’s hand his partner fs Mr. Champion. You know Mr. Champion. He is the best player and the most scientific

Without being urged, he often gives lectures on how you should have bid or played a hand. If you listen you probably will learn something. Many players don't listen.

” ” ” MR. DALE was stretching quite a bit in the bidding shown above. If Mr. Champion hadn't made a cute play with the club suit he would have been set 700 points. Fast and West quickly rattled off two heart tricks and three diamond tricks. A spade lead followed, which East won with the ace and got out with his last spade. Remembering East's opening club bid and especially. his subsequent two no-trump call, it appeared to declarer that East must hold the club queen. He therefore led the club jack from dummy, intending to let it ride. East covered, however, and South won with the ace. Now he led the deuce of clubs and, when West played low, finessed the nine in dummy.

” n " MR. DALE had figured nothing could stop the opponents’ heart game. He was right. He had figured Mr. Champion might pick up a trick in the play. Right again.

The set of 500 was a little more than the value of his opponents’ game, but he had prolonged the rubber. He had in“creased the number of hands he was going to play with tfie odis in his favor. Moral: When you have a strong partner, keep the rubber going as long as you can. Take greater liberties in sacrificing bidding. If they don’t work out, the odds are still in your favor on the next hand.
