there are times when 1t is awkward
the weak discard is often too
vague, the strength discard will oc-
casionally lose you a trick. But If
you adopt a system by which seven
or higher means strength in that
suit, and anything under seven
means weakness, your troubles will
be at an end. For. If the strong dis
card will cripple your suit, you can
throw a low card from weak
suit: If IL should be necessary to show
strength with one discard, a seven
or higher will do it. This may seem
little complicated, at first, but a
few trials will accustom you to it and
convince you of its excellence.

 Mr. Hen Peck looked solemnly at 1he awful Emerald Green tha that she held in her hand.

 Why, the very idea Mrs. Hen Peck said peevishly. "1t forms beautiful background to the little pink Cupids and Running Birds that are embroid- cred on it.

GOVERNMENT MAY
 AID STATE ROADS
Few States Accepting Orig inal Offer-May Increase
 the Appropriation

Montgomery, December 24.-(Special)- Information has been received by State Highway Engineer w. s. Keller to the effect that the government in appro- priating money to each of the states may be able 10 allot more money to those states applying for such federal aid than was originally contemplated The information was received from yer non x. Pierce, chief engineer in the office of public roads of the depart ment of agriculture, Washington.
 Engineer Pierce declares in his let ter to Mr Keller that the government does not intend to construct 5o miles of road with S30,O00 but proposes 90 inl- prove that length of road in a continuous stretch with that amount of money, by opening mp all side ditches, properly crownng the road, building small cui- verts where necessary. and maintaining the road surface by dragging, the work to be under the supervision of the gov ernment and done either by force ac- count or contract.
 The plan as originally outlined by inc government was that the counties through which the road should pass should contribute S2O,o00, and the gov ernment $l0000.
 Engineer Pierce informs Mr. Keller, however, that it seems that few states will accept the proposition which may enable the government to allot a con- siderably larger sum of the federal appropriation to the state making ap- plication for such aid.

Fly MYRTLE MILES

One of the chief pleasures of the Yule- tide comes in the days before and after Christmas, when the mails are laden with Christmas cards. They came yester- day in dozens, and with the varied senti- ments they expressed furnished an hour s delightful enjoyment. The friends who have thought of you-sometimes the very ones whose lives are fullest and whose duties are most multiplied-compose sum tkat is joy giving in this time of bless edness. The souvenir Christmas post card with some message of cheer appro- priate to the times, merely signed with the name of the sender is oftentimes one Of the rarest and most unexpected of trib- utes Then there is the card more per- sonal engraved with some especial thought of the sender. Families some times distribute these, yesterday almost a score arriving in my mail with the names of the senders engraved from plate. Sometimes the particular talent of the sender is indicated. as in that exquisite card of the Frederick Gunsters quite the loyeliest that l have ever seen, the Christmas message being set to music composed by Frederick Gunster, the words having been written by Mrs. Fred erick Gunster. And just across the top are two poinsettia blossoms.
 From Ethel Armes has come an ex- quste appreciation of the surrounding country, whose beauty and possibilities she knows so well. Her little card is printed on brown paper and decorated with holly and Christmas bells. And this is the sentiment which she has signed with her name:
 There are days herein Indian summer tme-when everything is turned to gold You walk along Red mountain-ang deep in wine red leaves-and you sing as you go, The air on the hilltop is sharp and sweet: the woods are rich. Far below you lies all Birmingham. your city, wra pped in violet msts. It is quiet AS snowfall. Now, dark is coming. Behold Thousands upon thousands of lights sud denly blossom in the valley. All the places near and far speak their names in lights, big lights or little lights, A golden arch ouivers over Ensley the city of the great steel plant. It is quick with gianc- ing shapes-armor for fighters, thunder nolts chariots and winged shoes out of it's fiery heart, in among the flaming batteries of coke ovens and all the giant ironmakers, moves slowly, like a dark shaggy cloud, world old figure IEephaestus. Breathing hard upon this city of his works he lifts his tired eyes to the fair hillside, so quiet, so fresh, so slmring, under the stars-Aphrodite! And 10! his force and fire are over her. An, how the sweet drowsing hill burns in the warm midnight under the iron god $ breath!-their precious union, the dream of a million years
