Trick 1 A, who could not tell as to
the particular strength of his part
ner's suit, but whose own suit is with
in one round of establishment, led his
own suit, hearts, and, it being; headed
by three high cards In sequence, cor
rectly led the king:. King holding the
trick, he followed at
Trick 2 with the jack, which he knew
would force the ace or hold the trick
and at the same time enable his part
ner to locate the jack, as well as queen.
Z. perforce, plays ace. Z knows that
A's suit Is now established and his
aim henceforth must be to prevent his
securing a lead. To this end all his
finesses must be taken against B. who.
having no card of his partner's suit to
lead hib. Is not dangerous, especially
as he himself holds no established suit,
or none that may be easily established.
Knowing the diamonds will be good
at any time, Z therefore started with
clubs, leading the queen, with the ob
ject of finessing. Dummy played low
and B committed the serious error ol
playing the king, thereby at once es
tablishing the suit. One of the strong
est principles governing whist play is
so to play as to make the game as easy
as possible for one's partner and as
difficult as possible for one's opponent,
and why players should constantly vio
late this principle and make the game
easy for their opponents Dasses com
prehension. Hadi B's king been in dan
ger, or even had he a card of his part
ner's suit to lead him (he knowing
the suit to be established), there would
have been some Justification to the
act, though In the latter case he would
have gained nothing and would better
have postponed the play until such
time as he would be compelled to play
it to prevent its falling to the ace. In
the first case the play would have been
imperative. However. having taken
the trick, he found himself in the lead
with nothing to lead.- His own suit
was out of the question because of
dummy's strong tenace. The diamond
lead also was bad because of dummy's
strong holding In the suit. However,
It offered the only chance of putting
his partner in the lead. It being pos
sible, of course, that he held the ace,
so at
Trick 4 he led the 10 of diamonds,
with the result that dummy got in,
and at
Trick 5 led the ace of clubs, fol
lowing at
Trick 6 with the king of diamonds,
and at
Trick 7 with the small diamond. Z
recovering the lead with the diamond

Tricks 8. 9, 10, 11 and 12 making his
three remaining clubs and his two re
maining diamonds.
Trick 13 went to the dummy with
the ace of spades.

PINE VALLEY is approximately 20
miles from Snake river on the
eastern edge of Baker county, and
probably never was heard of by
the celebrated artists and exhibitors
of the world. The sagebrush wasn't
exactly what one could call inspira
tion for a person handy with a paint
brush. Despite all the odds, a little
girl in Pine valley. Eloise Howard, be
gan to paint pictures of familiar ob
jects about her.
Miss Howard has had on exhibit In
the Portland art museum the past
week a collection of water colors and
etchings that will delight the eye of
appreciative Oregonians, who will rec
ognize among them many familiar
scenes and faces. Miss Howard is ar
ranging for a trip abroad to study in
France. Italy, Spain and England, giv
ing most of her time to mural decora
tion, as this, the artist believes, is more
lasting and offers a better field.
Four Medals Won.
"When I can really paint." she says.
"I want to come back to Oregon, and
then if Mr. Ford has made his little car
cheap enough for an artist to keep one
I'm going to paint the Columbia. That
is one of the things I most want to do."
The first time Miss Howard viewed
really good pictures was when she was
18 years old and attended the Seattle
exposition. She came to Portland to
study in the school of the Portland
Art association, leaving six years ago
for New York, where she has been
studying at the National Academy
Design and the Art Students' league
ever since. She has been painting prin
cipally portraits, but has entered sev
eral murals in beaux arts contests and
has received four medals in these.
She turned her New York apartment
into a studio and lived close to the
academies so she could concentrate on
her work. Upon returning here early
in the summer she has been visiting
friends In the city and doing sketches.
In the exhibit at the museum there
are in a glass case the tools used in
making etchings and plates showing
the steps in both acid and dry-point
process. The process is si
of engraving.
Dry-point etchings are drawn upon
the plate Itself with a white pencil
and the copper is cut with a sharp
pointed tool. Lampblack is rubbed into
the lines so that the worker may see
them as she goes along. The best
portrait etchings are made in this way,
as they are softer and there is less
danger of harming them than in the
acid process. Prints are then made
from the finished plates.
Miss Howard studied etching under
Preizig, a Bohemian, at the Art Stu
dents' league, and under Charles
Meliatz, one of the foremost etchers in
the country. She has made portraits
of at least half a dozen Portland resi
dents and these are among the dis
play in the museum. Great variety
is shown in the types and character
studies.

a dying process adapted from the Jap
anese. This Is extremely difficult to
make, as it requires waxing of the
material to prevent the dye from going
on certain parts. That which seeps
through cracks In this surface adds
much beauty to the design by supply
lng- a tracery of delicate lines and
tints. This reminded Miss Howard
much of butterflies' wings and she
took the beautiful Insect as the motif
for her blouse. The completed smock
is worth about 150. Several days
work were required to complete it.

HE following hand illustrates a
number of valuable points and is
an unusually good lesson hand. It
is a hand which admits of considerable
diversity in the matter of bidding, and
it is also instructive as showing how
easy it is to drop tricks and how one
ehould constantly on the alert in order
to foresee, and, if possible, prepare, for
contingencies which are liable to arise.
Again, it is an unusual hand, in that
each player at the table has a per
fectly good first-round major suit bid.
The players composing the table were
the sort of players of which it is de
voutly to be wished there were a
greater number who believe in get
ting the most possible out of every
deal and who make it a point to play
a hand over and over again until they
are assured as to the treatment which
brings the best possible results, regard
less of which side is the gainer; who
believe, in other words, in putting into
every hand the best possible attack
and the best possible defense. The
hand was played therefore at all the
different bids and in a number of dif
ferent ways, and it is interesting to
note how readily it adapts itself to the
various treatments it received and in
each and every case embodies valuable
suggestions:

ner. As a matter of fact, the infer
ences which a bid conveys to one's
partner, often causing him to adopt
some policy which he would not other
wise do, should form as great a factor
in determining one's bid as the prob
able chance of the bid in' itself being
successful. This I do not think many
players take the trouble to consider,
if, indeed, they are aware of its im
portance. In the case undr considera
tion the hand contains seven winning
tricks conceding one trump to the
ace and a bid which leaves but one
trick to be supplied by one's partner
is generally looked upon as sound.
Y holds himself a no-trump bid and
had he been the player originally to
bid he would undoubtedly have bid
no trumps. The heart showing on the
part of A, in which suit he has no
protection, debars him, however, from
calling "two.no trumps." so as he has
no five-card to indicate, his only course
is a pass.
B, who was unable to help his partner
at hearts, but who had a good spade
suit with a guarded outside king, over
called his partner's hearts with "two
spades," and as a consequence Z, who
was protected in hearts, though not in
spades, was unable to go on with no
trumps and shifted to "three diamonds
A peculiar feature of this hand Is
that if the holdings of Z and Y had
been reversed, that is, if Z had held
Y's hand and Y had held Z's hand, each
in turn could have persisted with no
trumps. Y having protection in hearts
and a good helping hand in addition
would have gone "two no trumps" after
the adverse declaration of hearts, and I not the time to take any chances, and
L. having protection in spades, would l ts should unhesitatingly have Dlaved
fact that he had two spades to give
his partner, and that his partner by
deliberately overcalllng his hearts with
a suit of no greater value intrinsically
had virtually denied assistance for him
Y thereupon went "four diamonds," and
the bidding closed with Z as the player
and A the one to lead.
As the result of play Z made a small
slam. This, however, was owing to a
dropped trick on the part of B. His
rightful score was five by cards only.
Singularly enough it was on the very
first trick that H made his misplay. A
with a high three-card sequence led
his own suit preferably to his part
ner's, and, correctly, led the kng. which
fell to declarer's ace, B discarding to
the trick. B rightfully should have
played a trump. This, to some players,
may seem almost heretical, and, in
deed, as B later pointed out. he could
not tell but that his partner might
also noid the ace of his suit, and in
such event to play a trump would
have been equivalent to trumping his
partner's ace, an implication to which
he did not in any sense want to lay
himself liable. He argued, moreover.
that as he held four trumps to the 10
there seemed a good chance If he kept
his trumps intact that he migh
eventually be in control of trumps. To
a certain extent bis reasoning is good
dui ne snouid have taken into consld
eration that there was & no-trump hand
against him, a hand which presura
ably was protected in three suits. The
shift, to diamonds after his showing
ol spades proclaimed definitely, If in
deed the dummy hand had not so in
dicated, that Z was unprotected in
spades. It was reasonable to Infer
therefore, that he .was protected In
hearts, and since A, .B's partner, b
the lead of king had shown the pres
ence oi eitner ace or queen, it was
not unreasonable to place queen with
A and ace with declarer. Moreover,
dummy's cards were unusually strong.
ah tnings considered, therefore, it wa

The score was love-all, second game.
Z, the dealer, bid no trumps, as at the
score I think most players would do,
though there was some discussion later
as to whether, because of the shortage
in spades, the diamond was not the
better bid. The presence of a singleton
is certainly not an asset to a no-trump
bid. but neither is it necessarily a de
terrent. A went "two hearts," and bis bid,
too, caused some discussion. It was
decided, however, that it was Justi
fiable and that the presence of eight
trumps to a high sequence quite made
np for the lack of the outside trick.
The greatest objection, to the bid was
in the possible deception to the part-
have gone on. with no trumps after
the adverse declaration of spades.
Also, if A's and B's holdings had been
reversed and A had called "two spades"
over Z's no trump, Y would unhesitat
ingly have said "two no trumps," and
in the event B had gone "three hearts."
Z, having protection in hearts and in
ferring his partner to be protected in
spades, would have gone on with no
trumps.
Under existing conditions, however, it
was impossible to persist with no
trumps, so, as stated, Z shifted and
called "three diamonds." Y later ad
vanced the argument that clubs would
have been the better shift because of
the fact that a long weak suit, as a
rule, is a better trump than a side
suit. Had Z held more clubs than dia
monds, say six or more, clubs doubt
less would have been the better declara
tion, but as betwen two five-card suits,
one with nothing higher than queen,
the stronger of the two suits would
impress most players as being the bet
ter announcement.
A called "three hearts," despite the
small trump and made sure of th
tricks. The difficulty with many play
ers is that they do not take into con
slderation that circumstances alte
cases, and what under some conditions
would be unequivocally wrong unde
other conditions would be unqualified!
right. B's failure to trump the trick
cost him just 57 points, as It enabled
Z to make a little slam. B's king of
cluos was the only card that took
trick. A did not take a single trick.
one trick dropped," 1 hear som
players exclaim; "oli. that is nothin
and hardly worth considering." Th
one trick dropped often leads, howeve
to other tricks being dropped. Besides
that one trick often turns out to be
the trick which enables the adversary
to make his contract, to go game, or,
as in this case, a little slam, and th
intrinsic value of the trick becomes
therefore greatly in excess of Its usual
value. The habit besides is a bad on
to form; avoid forming It If possible.
The hand was next played at
trumps, and again B presented his ad
versaries with a trick and enabled
BY MRS. WILLIAM P. LORD.
R. LEI.N'ER advocates abandoning
the use of convict labor in flax
pulling. This is a step in the
right direction, giving hope of reviving
an almost moribund Industry. On a
properly prepared field flax can be cut,
for It has a small tap root which con
tains no fiber. And the very high price
of fiber warrants the utmost care in its
ultlvatlon. The Bale of a few tons of
fiber to a mill in Ireland "almost equal
to that formerly grown In Belgium" is
oted in the March number of the Bel
fast Linen Trade Circular for 32750 a.
ton. Oregon flax straw under Mr.
Bosse's competent hands produced a
fiber pronounced by experts superior to
Belgian.
Is It not worth while when such
prices can be obtained to make most
careful preparation of the soil "fine
n onion bear was the dictum of
Mr. Basse. The farmers should then be
paid, according to the quality of the
straw delivered, from 350 to 3100 per
ton.
Flax is a short crop 90 days from
seed to harvest is the rule and when
ready to harvest it must receive prompt
attention. The Belgian method, which
was adopted by the Women's Flax as
sociation as being best adapted to our
conditions. Is to pull the flax when the
straw Is turning in color, but before
he seed fully ripens, so as to retain
the seed In the bolls. It Is plain to
see if a field has to wait the conven
ience of pullers, the straw becomes
verripe, sunburnt, hard to ret and
seed rattles from the bolls when straw
pulled, to the annoyance of the
farmer the following season and the
loss of seed, which I am told by a
uyer of linseed is now bringing 36 a
bushel.
Even at this figure, 32750 a ton. the
linen trust is adding to its money chest,
for it is selling our fishermen at Asto-
la seine twine at 34. a pound and to
he shoemakers linen thread at 36.
Would it not be worth while to direct
attention of the investigators of high
living prices to the discrepancy in the
cost of fiber and Its manufacture?
Early in 1915 a member of the Bel
fast Spinners' association arrived in
Canada, his errand being to awaken
Canadians to the needs of Belfast mills
for fiber. At that time Ireland had not
ven seed, which was usually obtained
from Riga, Russia. (Ireland had the
wasteful habit of retting the flax with
out removing the seed.) In the last
two years Ireland has had a crop of
160,000 acres, three times its normal
acreage, and all of this commandeered
by the English government for use in
the wings of aeroplanes. The want of
this linen in American planes was one
of the contributory causes of so many
accidents on the training fields. A re
cent article on aeroplane construction
rejoices in finding that sea island cot
ton, which is long fibered, may solve
the problem of the want of linen. But
sea island cotton Is limited In production.
This Irish spinner, seeing some of
the fine fiber made by Mr. Bosse, came
to Salem to lay before our people the
needs of the Irish mills.
It was this appeal which material
ized in the generous appropriation of
the legislature, then in session. The
apathy of the people of the state on
this subject is due to the way the flax
was handled by the first superinten
dent, who had a very limited knowl
edge of fiber making, but was a past
master in running up an expense ac
count. But with a flax climate greatly
nferior to that of Oregon, Canada has
made good. In 1916 it sold to England
the product of 8000 acres for 37.000.000.
Last year Canada raised 18,000 acres
and this year has an acreage of 25,000.
Copying from an Ottawa paper:
"One of the biggest factors in aiding
this tremendous development has been
the vast need for linen for airplane
construction. With the broadening of
aerial activities the world over the fu
ture for the industry looks brighter
and brighter and Canada is intending
to do her utmost to maintain the lead
she has wrested from Russia, which
formerly produced four-fifths of the
world s supply of flax. A corporation
s now planning to invest 32,000,000 In
a linen mill."
Australia is becoming interested in
the flax problem and prposes to take a
hand. An Irishman, a resident of Aus
tralia, advocates cutting as the solu
tion of the labor problem, which is most
acute there. Traveling In the orient
two years ago, we met Australians and
discussed the problems confronting na
tions. At that time ordinary unskilled
labor was only to be obtained at $5 a
day. But in Japan, always on the alert.
they, are shipping out fiber to New
York. There is no question about pull
lng flax, labor Is so abundant and lovi
priced. There we saw wheat growing
on hillsides, terraced, sewed in drills.
hand cultivated, tied in tiny bundles.
Two acres Is a large farm in Japan.
A director of one of the Japanese mills
paid Salem a short visit this year, hoo
lng to add to his knowlewge of flax
handling. Also a man was here from
Mexico on the same errand.
At the last state fair the present su
perintendent of the state flax mill had
a fine exhibit of fiber, probably made
from Crawford's retting of straw In the
Loppens tanks. A flax expert viewing
it with me said this is a fine exhibit
here is flax fiber worth 32000 a ton in
an Irish mill. We vhall look for some
equally good this year.
Some eight years ago the O.-W. R. &
K., at the suggestion of William Mc
superintendent of a mill In the middle
west. "Very fine fiber, all right, but It
was not grown In the United States."
"It was most assuredly grown in Ore
gon," insisted Mr. Smith. The super
intendent was not from Missouri, but
Ireland, and he had to "be shown."
When convinced, he exclaimed with
emphasis: "My God. man, what have
the people of your state been doing all
these years, when such a fiber can be
produced from your soil and you have
done nothing with It?" That question
still remains unanswered.

artificial teeth made in this office are always designed
and set with the idea of appearing natural. They are
never too perfect, but we set them at slight angles, place
little irregularities here and there that make them ap

all artificial teeth are selected with care that they may
properly harmonize with the features and complexion of
the patient. They also articulate perfectly and are guaran
teed to give lasting satisfaction.
all this is made possible through our complete laboratory
equipment ; the skill and experience of graduate dentists of
many years practice in this city, and a sincere desire to
please our patients that makes us give a little more time

11THILE the housewives are so deep-
ly interested in the high cost
of living. In market conditions and like
subjects, the state dairy and food com
missioner. J. D. Mickle, has prepared
for his official -bulletin to be Issued

It would be well for each club to read
the commissioner's bulletin and keep In
touch with the work he and his depu
ties are doing to try and protect the
consumer. There is a great tendency
since tne war ended for persons to dis
regard food regulations and so Mr.

first section refers to cold storage and

or Keeping foods, justifying cold stor
age and telling why he upholds It.

If you want fresh fruit or vegetables buy
from your groreryman or your regular vege
table man, whom you know, or at the mar

Do wot buy from the man whom you do
not know. Mr. Hawker has to make his
living out of the stuff that ha sells, often
times he buys from Front street commis
sion houses. Damaged produce la lumped off
to him at so much for the lot; It may b
peaches, pears, apples, potatoes, bananas or
any commodity of that nature. Having made
his purchase, he usually takes his purchase
to the plnce where he keeps his horse and

frequently enough of good quality is added
thereto to top out the box or sack and fur

who operate In Portland are licensed by the
