ANN LANDERS Dear Ann Landers: Your misguided advice to "Morph" set the Women's Movement back 100 years. I agree a married couple who cannot get adequate rest in a double bed should go to twin beds, but your suggestion that the wife put a whistle on his nightstand left me cold. Sexist humor is no longer in good taste. Unfortunately, too many of your readers do not have your intellectual capacity. They are sure to take you seriously.

I pity the wives of the chauvinist males who will have that column used against them. People are not to be whistled for like dogs especially wives of men who want sex. I'll bet the lambasting you receive for that shameful answer will bring forth an apology, but it can't possibly compensate for the damage you've already done. P.M. Dear P.M.: If you don't have a sense of humor you're nowhere which, incidentally, is the principal flaw in the Women's Movement.

Sorry, P.M., I'm not apologizing for that answer. It was O.K. and I stand by it. Dear Ann: The problem is bed-wetting. It is our son.

the oldest of seven children. He reads your column religiously and we hope he will heed your advice. We have had Arnie to a urologist for tests three times in the last six years. There is nothing physically wrong with the boy. He is 19 years old now and has ruined more bedding and mattresses than 1 care to think about.

The doctor has given Arnie pills, which he "forgets" to take. All instructions not to drink liquids after 4:00 p.m. are ignored. I can't tell you how upset I get when I go to make up his bed in the morning and find he has done it again. What burns me up is he doesn't care.

Any advice? Washing Machine Blues Dear Wash: A boy who wets his bed and "doesn't care" is sending out messages. Tell him he can swim ten laps a night if he wants to but from now on he must do his own laundry and make his own bed. (I'll bet he dries up fairly soon.) Dear Ann Landers: The letter from the woman who had her name legally changed misled you as well as countless others. She made it sound very simple. Welt, it isn't.

First you have to go to the county courthouse and get a petition. It must be filled out and notarized by someone who has known you for at least five years. Then you must publicize it for six to eight weeks in a newspaper or a daily law bulletin. Next step: You are required to get new copies of all certified documents, such as driver's license, marriage license, social security card, birth certificate, just about everything that bears your name. The total cost for all this runs anywhere from $60 to $75.

So please. Ann. let your readers know that there's more to it than Mrs. New-Name implied. Think I'll Keep My Old Name Dear Think: I feel like changing mine after all the complaints I've received.

Charles Seib. Associate Editor of the Washington Post, informed me that Jack Crandall, Chief of Vital Records for the District of Columbia, had to straighten out a lot of people because of that flaky information. I've checked out yours and it is correct. So folks, now you have the straight goods. Ann Landers will be glad to help you with your problems.

Send them to her in care of The Avalanche-Journal. P.O. Box 491. Lubbock. 79408.

BURG Women's News Service i-'ow sweet it is to chance upon a wild raspberry bush in an isolated glen.

But with application of the "pick-your-own" concept to an extended list of vegetables and fruits in various parts of the country, those who don't give a fig for meandering through boulder-strewn top-of-mountain meadows can find more productive, down-to-earth sources at their local farms. The thrill of the chase may be missing, but merely gazing at a lush field full of raspberries is almost fair compensation. And au-ording to one pick-your-own buff, it's easier than picking strawberries because raspberries grow on higher bushes. You'll have less control over quality when you buy them packaged in the supermarket, so it's wise to be wary. Raspberries, as well as blackberries, boysenberries, loganberries and such should be fresh, cold, dry and free of bruises or mold.

Containers should not display signs of berry leakage. Keep berries cold and covered: use them as soon as possible. Wherever you pick your berries you can freeze them dry or sugared, and make conventional or freezer jam. There's a pricelessness to homemade, whether on your own biscuits or distinctively labeled and given as holiday gifts. For all freezer methods, first sort berries, removing stems and imperfect fruit.

Rinse carefully in cold water and drain thoroughly. Remember, frozen berries are best served when only partially defrosted. TO PACK DRY: Freeze rapidly on trays, spacing them so they won't mass into multi-berry lumps. As soon as they're rock-hard, transfer berries to freezer containers, leaving one- half inch head space. Cover securely and freeze again at once.

SUGAR PACK: To one quart (I and pounds) berries, add three-quarters cup sugar, mixing carefully to avoid crushing. Put in freezer containers, leaving one-half inch head space for expansion. Seal and freeze. EASY FREEZER JAM: Mix well, three cups washed, then crushed, raspberries with six cups sugar. Combine one cup water with one package powdered fruit pectin in a sauce pan and boil one minute.

Combine all ingredients, stirring two minutes. Pour into clean containers, cover securely and freeze. BASIC RASPBERRY JAM: Rinse raspberries in cold water and drain well.

Add three pounds granulated sugar and stir till mixture comes to a hard boil that cannot be stirred down.

At this stage, boil mixture one minute. Pour into sterilized pint jars, cover and turn upside down to create seal. Let stand to set, about 24 hours, then store in a cool place. The recipe may be doubled. BERRY-CREAM DESSERT: Puree one pint clean fresh or home-frozen dry-pack raspberries in electric blender, then put through fine sieve to eliminate seeds.

Sweeten to taste with honey. Combine puree with one quart strawberries, washed, hulled and sliced, if very large. Add one-third cup chopped walnuts, mix lightly and chill thoroughly. Sweeten one cup heavy cream, whipped, with honey to taste and flavor with one teaspoon cinnamon. Chill well.

Serve fruit topped with cream. Yields six servings. GLAZED RASPBERRY TURNOVER: Combine one- quarter cup sugar; one tablespoon plus 1 teaspoons cornstarch and one pint (two cups) raspberries in sauce pan. Stir constantly over medium heat till mixture thickens and boils. Boil while stirring one minute, then cool.

Sprin- kie in water three to four tablespoons, one at a time till flour is moistened and pastry cleans sides of bowl. Form dough into ball. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

Meanwhile, roll dough on lightly-floured surface into 14-inch circle. Fold pastry in quarters and transfer to un- greased baking or cookie sheet, arranging so that when it is unfolded, half the circle is centered on the sheet. Spread cooled raspberry filling on centered half of circle to within one and one-half inches of edge. Fold other half of pastry over filling. Seal edges and turn up one-half inch of edge.

BY DOROTHY MARKS WASHINGTON (WNS) The Philadelphia Centennial Exposition of 1876 turned out to be a big shot in the arm for American women, say the Smithsonian curators who have put together the largest exhibit in the museum's history to recreate the spirit of 1876 as it appeared at the Philadelphia Fairgrounds. It seems the 1876 Centennial was both a challenge for American women and a showcase for their achievementss entrepreneurs, wage-earners and workers in groups for charitable or civic causes.

At any rate, that is the way it turned out.aithough the Exposition planners predominately never had in mind. Explains Debby Warner, a Smithsonian curator who worked on the women's exhibit items: "In the early 1870's the women were told they could have space for a special women's exhibit in the main exhibition halls. Then the men decided there wasn't enough room for a women's exhibition after all. So the women went out and raised enough money to put up an entire building for their own exhibition. They were interested in showing the contributions ot women, not as homemakers but as creators and wage-earners.

"It was." she says, "a real breakthrough at the time." The mover and shaker behind this gigantic effort was Elizabeth Duane Gillespie of Philadelphia, a great-granddaughter of Benjamin Franklin, who organized battalions of women to knock on doors and raise money. A Biblical quotation from Proverbs greeted visitors at the door of the 1876 Women's Building: "Give her of the fruit of her hands and let her own works praise her in the gates." But interest in material things and growing industraliza- tion marked the exhibition here just as it did elsewhere at the Fair. Visitors in 1876 were startled to see a young girl named Emma Allison operating a six-horsepower steam engine which was powering six looms and a printing press. She told surprised visitors it was a lot easier than running a home. On the press, the women produced their own Fair newspaper, appropriately called "New Century for Women." One of the favoraite exhibits in 1876 featured inventions patented by 78 American women, many of them wildly successful even by 20th-century standards.

Mrs. Martha Coston of Philadelphia, a widow with three small children, was responsible for inventing a three-color night Hare used by a number of navies' ships. Hannah G. Suplee of San Francisco invented a successful large-eye sewing machine needle but she was rebuffed by male designers in New York and Philadelphia before she moved on to San Francisco and found an obliging Chinese man who made a needle according to her instructions. Then there was Mary Florence Potts of Ottumwa, Iowa, a successful businesswoman who invented what she called a "cold-handled sad These were irons with removable handles to avoid burned fingers.

The 1876 Fair also featured and the Smithsonian reproduces some of it the work of Martha Ann Maxwell of Boulder, a taxidermist who shot, stuffed and transported to Philadelphia 300 mammals, birds and reptiles. There were women inventors of medical equipment, most of them graduates of the Women's Medical College of New York or the newly organized Women's Medical College of Pennsylvania. There were women designers of baby carriages, bidets and commodes, sewing machines and fluting irons to press ruffles. The work of women who made jewelry of human hair, who sculpted or painted china professionally or who wrote books or were professional journalists was also highlighted. In 1876 women comprised about 20 per cent of the labor market but were seldom, if ever, paid as much as men for the same jobs.

Mary Louise Booth, editor of Harpers Bazaar, earned the then-princely salary of $5.000 a year and was probably among tahe highest-paid women journalists. Although it was not primarily politically motivated, the Women's Building gave space to the achievements of Julia Smith of Glastonbury, a formidable scholar who had translated the Bible in several languages but who refused to pay her taxes unless she got the vote. As a result, the Glastonbury town council confiscated her cows and property. Suffragettes demonstrated at the Philadelphia Fair on Election Day 1876. The Fair also was a forum to focus attention on the newly organized Association for the Advancement of Women and the Women's Christian Temperance Union.

It played a role in inspiring the founding of the New Century Club for Women in Philadelphia in 1877.

Actually, it gave him four club tricks so that he would have made the slam without one of the other queens. 'v By Oswald James Jacoby All jumps to game do convey the message that you want to play in that denomination. In case your partner has already limited his hand, you also expect him to stop.

Thus, if you raise him from one to three notrump you are saying: "I have enough for game, but not enough for a slam and notrump is where I want to play the hand." South's three notrump call with today's hand showed 19 or 20 points, preparation for any lead except that of his partner's suit and a desire to play notrump. North had 14 high-card points of his own and a five- card spade suit, but his 10 of clubs turned out to be the key card for the slam. That card gave South a sure 12 tricks A Texas reader wants to- know the correct opening bid with: and if it makes any difference whether we are vulnerable or not in first, second, third or fourth seat. In standard American you should open two spades. Playing two clubs as your only force, open two clubs.

The hand is too powerful to be opened with anything except a forcing bid. It also makes no difference where you sit or who is vulnerable. (Do you have a question for the experts?
