POSSESSOR OF SPREAD
PLYMOUTH, N. H. July 6 (TP)
Mrs. Freman C. Willis is the envy ot
all New Hampshire's quilt fanciers.
Mrs. Willis owns a pair of quilts
which were made about 125 years ago
by her mother and her grandmother.
Despite their age, the covering have
retained all their bright color and
are as serviceable as the day they
were first spread on a bed.
Five pounds of raw sheep wool was
used as a filler for the heavier quilt.
Mrs. Willis’ mother worked the wool,
carded it, spun it into yarn and tint
ed it with dyes mace from plants she
gathered herself. The covers of both
quilts are made frem cloth which was
woven by Mrs. Willis’ grandmother,
on a New Hampshire farm.

CUT DOWN
RAGWEED
IS ADVICE
DESTRUCTION WOULD PRE
VENT HAY FEVER,
SAY DOCTORS
! By LOGAN GLENDENING, M. D.
There are estimated to be over two
million people in the United States
who have hay fever. I strongly r.c- '
ommend that each of them r 1.1 a
book published this year called “/our
Hay Fever,” by Oren C. Durham, for '
sale at all book stores, price $2. i
This boost is not exclusively de- ,
signed to make Mr. Durham rich, al- I
though I would like to do so, because
he is a worthy and hardworking in
dividual. Since hay fever victims in
cline to fraternize one book would do
I for about a hundred readers, and all
i could finish it befo’e the 1936 hay ;
fever season begins. Libraries and ren- '
tai libraries should put in an adequate
number of copies.
The reason I want this book so
widely read by those concerned is
that with the facts revealed in this
extremely interesting account, it will
be evident that concerted action could
wipe out hay fever :n our country. I
mean prevent it, not cure it. Prevent
it by destroying that Public Enemy,
the Ragweed—a perfectly useless, in
edible, purposeless, hostile, but, like
many other things of the same sort,
extremely fruitful, prosperous and
prolific plant.
Even goats won’t eat it. So we can ;
destroy it without economic loss, in |
which the situation differs from
spring hay fever due to the grasses.
Mr. Durham has for many years, j
to my knowledge, made practical tests
of the life habits of this family of
plants, and studied the amount of
pollen in the air in all parts of the
country in all seasons.
We saw yesterday how Dr. Wyman
proved that this pollen was definitely
the cause of hay fever. It is not I
surprising, therefore to learn that the
peak of the hay fever season—wh:n
the noses run like rivers and eht eyes
itch the worst—is exactly the period
when there is the most ragweed
pollen in the air.
In Chicago, the high point is be
tween August 26 and September 11.
In Houston, between Oct. 5 and Oct.
17. While there is some slight varia
tion in different years, the curves are
in general very much the same,
of the smallest and finest of all. Put
A pollen grain of ragweed is one
beside a pollen grain of corn a rag
weed grain would look like a marble
beside a basket ball. And corn pollen
is almost invisible, so it is not sur
prising that ragweed pollen can fill
the air and not be seen.
Fill the air it does. During th? >
month or six weeks of the season, a
million tons of ragweed pollen falls
on the United States. If this were
piled in one heap its peak would be
as high as the Empire State build
ing, and its base would cover Central
park.
Now for the plan for prevention.
Why can't all these useless plants be
cut down and destroyed before the
season begins?
It is a plant of civilization. It does
not grow on the prairies or in the
forests, but along fences, on railway
sidings, against buildings.
A crew of men, directed by one
boss who has been taught to recog
nize the plant, could cut down and
bum tons of it in a few weeks.
We have been racking our brains
to find something uesful for the un- j
employed to do. Why not relieve
them from widening creeks that al
ready are wide enough, and put them
to destroying ragweed?
I have been urging mayors officials,
governors and relief agencies to do
this for nearly ten years. So far with- 1
out one response.

PRODUCING A NEEDED TRICK
Declarer’s craft is called upon con
tinually to produce at least one trick
that would not seem possible to an
average player. Today we have such
a case.
Bidding went: West 1-Heart; North
2-Spades, to force partner to shift or
support, even upon small strength, as
the bidder counted 7 tricks in his
own hand, with spades as trumps;
East 3-Hearts; South, 3 Spades; West,
4-Hearts; North, 4-Spades, that
West doubled, knowing that usually
it is difficult to make gave over an
opening bid, supported by partner.

The opening lead was the 6 of
hearts. We-t played the Q. Declarer’s
Ace took the trick: The declarer
could see just 8 added tricks, 7 in
trumps and a diamond trick in dum
my. That was a trick short of game,
and his side was vulnerable, even if
tht could make no difference to an
ambitious declarer. The club situa
tion appeared bad. as the three miss
ing honors were probably divided be
tween defenders, and declarer had no
idea what that division was. Only
the long diamond suit in dummy
seemed to offer a hope of picking up
the one trick required for fulfillment
of the game contract. At once he
started that suit.
Declarer's lone diamond was over
taken with dummy's Ace. The 6 was
returned. Declarer ruffed with his
10, to make certain that he could re
gain entry often enough to establish
and use the fifth card of that suit,
pjrovided trumps and diamonds
broke as desired. The 9 of spades
was overtaken with dummy’s K. Both
defenders followed suit. Declarer
ruffed the 7 of diamonds with his J
of spades. West’s K fell. Dummy was
again put in the lead, this time by
overtaking declarer’s 6 of spades with
dummy’s 8. Next to the last diamond
was lead. Declarer ruffed with the
Q of spades leaving North only the
Ade and 4 of. spades, while dummy
sCfll held the 5.
Dummy’s 5 of trumps overtook de
clarer's 4. The good J of diamonds
was led. On it declarer discarded his
. lowest club. . West discarded next to
’his last heart, and East let go the 3
of clubs, starting an echo as well as
he . could. The 4 of clubs was led
from dummy. West put up his Ace
and won the first trick for his side.
Declarer had to play the 10. East
completed his ecli'o with the 2 of
(jibs. West led the 9 of clubs and
declarer’s Q lost to the K. East led
back his good J of clubs, but de
clarer ruffed with his last trump,
thereby fulfilling his contract, having
to give defenders a single heart trick.

SNOBBERY EXISTING
IN COLLEGE CIRCLES
SORORITY, FRATERNITY
OMIT THE LONELY
TIMID STUDENT
By GARRY C. MYERS, PH. D.
Head Department Parent Education,
Cleveland College, Western
Reserve University
No doubt the sorority or fraternity
with high Standards and ideals has
exceedingly good values to most of
its members. Its biggest) claim, per
haps, is the opportunity it affords
for social adaptation and, shall we
say, personality development?
But what of its effect upon those
students who eagerly yearn for mem
bership but are rejected? Already
these excluded persons are, as a rule,
very lonely, timed souls—a leading
reason for their rejection; and their
feelings of inferiority will be mag
nified because of the rejection. In a
certain college of 800 students, all
belong but 10 per cent. What is hap
pening to this 10 psr cent? Will the
gains of the 90 per cent group war
rant the loss by the 10 per cent
group? Should a college of this size
have sororities and fraternities?
In a college, of course, where the
attendance is very large, as at most
state universities, failure to make a
sorority or fraternity may not have
so much social sting. Some students,
indeed, who easily could, qualify,
choose in' this large school not “to
join.” But if these same students were
in a smaller college, they probably
would be jomers in self-defense.
If I counted myself a very timid
soul and wished to attend a college
with fewer than six or seven hundred
students of my own sex, I would
choose one without sororities or fra
ternities or equivalent—and there may
be organizations that are worse than
sororities and fraternities for this
lonely, timid student. Otherwise I
would prefer a much larger institu
tion.
Snobbery Flourishes
We should remember, of course,
that snobbery and social cruelty tend
to flourish in any group, particularly
in high school and college. Lonely,
timid students might as well make up
their minds to accept this fact.
On the other hand, it ought to be
possible to set up and conduct an
educational institution which would
develop a more highly social attitude
in the student body, where those who
are strong in social aptitudes would
choose to help bear the infirmities of
the weak, developing the lattfr. We
might get somewhere eventually if
the Sunday school were to work
harder toward this Christian ideal.
But where is it easier to find cliques
and snobs than in a Sunday school?
What of the day school? The teach
er should easily spot the timied,
lonely child. Would it not be possi
ble for her, if she really c/re*d, to
prevail upon a few of the less selfish
but not socially adapted, students to
exercise an interest in the'less
adapted-socially classmate, with a
view to help this child feel more at
ease among his comrades?
DISCOURAGING
He: When would it be best for me
to ask your father an important ques
tion?
She: Well, he sees suitors from 6:30
to 8 every evening, with the excep
tion of Sundays.
