Brown of the University of Ari zona reports that streptomycin —the latest wonder drug in the fight against human ailments— has been used successfully to combat plant diseases. Dr. Brown said that in experi ments here, the antibiotic drug has been used satisfactorily in the disinfection of plum and budwjod trees without harm to the plants. He added that strep tomycin was particularly ef fective in killing plant germs which cause rot and blackspot. Thus far, he said, it has been found that the drug will make it possible to grow uninfected nursery stock, even of very sus ceptible varieties, such as Japa nese plum. LONG SKIRTS SINFUL, N. Y. PASTOR SAYS NEW YORK, (UP)—The Rev. Samuel M. Shoemaker said in a sermon at the Calvery Protest ant Episcopal Church that the new-style long skirts were a sin ful waste. “Christian women,” he said, “ought to resist this miserable, selfish modern style of dress as tru* sin—to what purpose these Eull, flapping, flowing garments now down to their ankles when recently they were up to their knees, because some designer in Paris cracks the whip, when all over the world there are thousands who need ihat cloth, not to make them more alluring, but to keep them warm?” Orient Lodge * No. 395 • A. r. & A.

McKENNEY America’s Card Authority Written for NEA Service The double of a three no trump contract not only says that you expect to beat the con tract, but it also asks your partner to lead the first suit bid by dummy. This convention works out very well if the dummy has bid your suit, and you have a good suit with a sure entry. But it can be quite disastrous when the opponents’ bidding has been strong. In today’s hand South elected to open the bidding with one dia mond even though he had a point count sufficient to bid one i-l * Q982 ¥ J ♦ QJ5 * K J 10 5 3 AJ4 to I 4k K 10 7 5 ¥ 10 753 W c 3 2 c ¥ K Q 4 ♦ 74 * ♦K 9 8 *8742 Peoler |*96 A A 6 ¥ A 9 8 6 ♦ A 106 3 2 AAQ Lesson Hand—Both vul.

North responded with one spade to fill that hole in case his partner wanted to play the hand at no trump. South’s bid of two no trump was an overbid. Nevertheless, it was a powerful bid, and when North went to three no trump, East should not have applied the convention of the double for the spade lead. While this is a use ful tool and will help you to defeat many game contracts, this hand will show you that it also can be disastrous. The queen of spades was play ed from dummy on the opening lead, East covered and declarer won. Then he cashed the five club tricks, and when he found the king of diamonds on side, he ran off five diamond tricks, making 12 tricks, three over. I doubt that North and South would have arrived at a slam contract, but after the double there was no need to try for a slam. 100 RATLERS A DAY KEEP WOLF AWAY FLASHER, N. D. (U.R)—A na tive of this short-grass country has developed a lucrative busi ness catching rattlesnakes. The live snakes George Sin clair ships to a southern com pany where the venom is ex tracted.

BROTHER RUNS $200 INTO BIG BUSINESS MINNEAPOLIS (U.R) — In six years, two Minneapolis brothers have#run a $200 investment in to a $100,000 business. Willard and Rober Resnick, co-owners of the Triploil Refin ing Co., set up a paint manu acftruinglpant in 1941 as taooiii facturing plant in 1941 as a sub sidiary to their oil refining divi sion. They recently had to build a $75,000 addition to take care of the mushrooming paint busi ness, which almost has outdis tanced the oil sales. Originally, they “bought into” the business with $200. Since then they have expand ed and taken over the concern. Both veterans of World War II, the brothers also have a paint processing school for ex servicemen. distributor wanted Manufacturing Company will appoint responsible local in dividual or firm to act as an exclusive distributor for your territory of a nationally and locally advertised, staple, ndw, fast-moving item.
