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.

MONDAY, JULY 6. 1936 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.

Contract Bridge 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. 4 None f 97542 ♦ 10 9 5 3 47 5 4 3 ♦AQIO4 J 5 3 2 8 6 4 ' V 10 8 6 3 V None s; bi 487 6 4 ♦ None 5 2 4QJIO 9 I 4 None 8 6 2 4K 9 7 ♦AK Q J ♦ AKQ J 4A K 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.
