McKENNEY America’s Card Authority 1 Written For NEA Service' A few years ago bridge was considered a winter pastime, but now tournaments are held every month of the year. The schedule includes a tournament to be held in Florida beginning Aug. 29. One of the' players who can be counted upon to make a good showing in that event is William Seamon of Miami Beach, who gave me today’s hand. In commenting-on the hand, Seamon said, “When you get your opponents into a bad contract, why not let them ‘stew in their own juice’? I doubt if there is a player in the country who would make six diamonds on this hand if East does not double.” With fou- trumps to the jack ten, East naturally thought that he would make a trump trick, and his partner’s spade bid led him to believe that his side would make a spade trick. However, when West held the first trick with the king of spades, it was not difficult for dec'arer to see that East had nothing to dou ble on, except all of the trumps. West shifted to a heart, declarer won, led the five of diamonds to dummy’s king, then led the eight of diamonds from dummy and took the f'nesse. If East had not doubled, it is certainly most unlikely that South •nip jo jijSt* aift t»l »a»h PinoM monds ride. ILjRSRBLANKET PLa1i3 . . .

ONION / '^EGYPTIAN ONION fORMS IN CLUSTERS Know Your Onions By DEAN HALUDAY BY DEAN HALLIDAY Most home gardeners are famil iar only with those onions which are planted in the spring as early as the ground can be worked. there are other varieties of onions, however, which can be planted either in the spring or fall. Among them are the Egyp tian, or Perennial Tree onion and the Multiplier or Potato variety of onion. The Egyptian onion forms in clusters as illustrated in the ac companying Garden-Graph. The top of the Egyptian onion can be separated and each bulblet plant eel m the same manner as the ordinary onion sets. Some gar deners plant these bulble'.s deep in rich, loose soil and then blanch tne tops, thus producing a good quality of green onion.

We, The Women BY RUTH MILLETT “Don’t underrate women’s skill in angling,” cautions Paul Fair leigh, who writes the Gun and Reel column for the Memphis Press-Scimitar. Mr. Fairleigh goes on to remind his male readers that when wom en “get an interest in fishing they go into an sport wholeheartedly. They have,” he maintains, “fish ing patience that is often lacking in the male angler.” Come to think of it, why shouldn’t women prove to be skill ful and patient anglers? They should know a lot about the art of angling—the deception, patience and strategy needed to hook and land a catch. Angling for men should also have taught them the importance of using the right kind of bait for the right 'kind of fish. For thousands of years women have been sizing men up, and of fering the lure best calculated to interest and intrigue a particular man. The home-loving type is lured by home-cooked meals and the subtle suggestion that here at last is an old-fashioned girl who wants nothing better in life than the chance to make a good home for a man. The girl who is making a play for the out-of-doors man car,, overnight, develop an interest in any sport. And so on. There’s one other reason why fishing should appeal to women. They get a kick out of landing not only the right man. but the small fry they throw back, as well. The rate of scrapping motor ve hicles in the United States from 1942 through 1946 was only 40 per cent of the rate at which Ihej were scrapped in the 1937 - 1941 period. The Multiplier onion can be planted in August. It is hardy and will provide long, trick necked green onions early in the spring following a fall planting. This onion can also be planted in the spring. Multiplier onions costs'- —• or more “hearts" or cores, as illustrated. These cores cu*. divided and planted separately. If desired, the entire Multiplier onion can be planted. When this is done each of the cores of bulb els sends out leaves and grows rapidly for a time. The growing bulbels can be pulled and eaten at any time. If allowed to remain in the ground, each of these bulbels will make a compound bulb like that from which it came. These onions, therefore, ar« at valua In any homo garden. PERSONALS Mrs. E. L. Munpliree and chil dren.
