Nv --.-4tt-s (. TON, February 1.-(Spe-
w cial)-one of the most popular
W pastimes at the National Press
club is a'lction bridge. When the tired
newspaper man has any time for recrea-
ton it is usually spent either as a par
ticipant or an onlooker at bridge. This
game is played almost every day at some
hour at the club, from one to three tables
being occupied by the players. and around
each at least four or five "bleacherites''
who do not refrain from commenting upon
each hand after it is over.
1t is quite probable that the National
Press club is the proud possessor of quite
a number of the very best auction bridge
ever play themselves but sit on the side
lines carefully analyzing all four hands
by looking them over and freely express
ing themselves as to the bone" plays
of the performers.
One of the greatest players the club has,
perhaps, is the Hon. Frank Lord, presi-
dent of the club, and a well known Wash
ington correspondent. Mr.. Lords lectures
on the game have never been published
III booh lOiiD. anu IL HAS Dte0 III vain
that his admirers have ,endeavored to in
duce him to teach a night school" for
their especial benefit. Like many great
exponents of science, Mr.. Lord is much
better in telling others how to do than he
is in actual performance. This fact does
not deteriorate from his value as an au-
thority and a critical least not so far
as he is personally concerned. There
are. however unfortunately those who
are somewhat cynically disposed toward
the ability of Mr.. Lord, and frankly call
him ''fathead'' at the game.
Another wonderful performer at the
game is James Hay, Jr. son of Represen-
tative Hay of Virginia, and a well known
magazine writer and expounder of oppo-
sition to votes for women.
Mr.. Hay plays bridge in much the same
style and with probably the same degree
of intelligence that trained seal would
play the piano. He shoots in the general
direction and let's it go at that. He is
not, however, in any respects the equal
of j. Ed Grillo, the famous and popular
baseball editor of the Washington Even
ing Star. Mr.. Grillo Is vigorous and ag-
gressive in his style of play, and puts
as much expression in his action as a
plumber would display il he was called on
to plug teeth. In addition to this he in
jects at suitable intervals a running fire
of refined profanity which adds much to
the gayety of the occasion. The gentle
and courteous manner with which Mr.
Grillo calls the attention of his partner to

The rural antipathy toward the auto
mobile which existed a decade ago is be-

has turned to positive affection. The

same summary punishment be meted out

horse thief. Evidently the motor car has
garded as luxury it is now looked upon
as a necessity.

WALK AND LIVE LONG

From the Kansas City Star
Some put walking on the shelf with

the Switzerland club. Boy Scouts and

Dr. X. E. Castelar,. superintendent of
the General hospital, believes the body
should never be tired after exercise. He
says never walk to the point of ex-
haustion. And never walk more than
two miles at one time. The man who
goes for 20-mile walk for fun is not
only looked upon as mild sort of
lunatic but really is one.
Surely the busiest business man has
time to walk two miles each day. II
would only take 80 minutes. and he
might never have to have a family

helps lots. Try it next Sunday.

JUDGE A MAN BY HIS FARM

From the Breeders Gazette.
A farm is the landscape of the owner
heart and the reflex of his mind.
If man can be judged by his ciothes'
he can more >truly be read by hiS farm,
which is an extension of his vestments.
Beauty and order can never be appreci-
ated as a part of environment until they
are inner realities. What man is, in
evitably reveals itself in his words and
ments. crops animals and trees, maxi
works. A farm adorned sith improve
ing a picture of peace and plenty, repre-
sents the unsents the unfolding and ex-
preston of its owners ideals. 1t is the
wondrous canvas on which he leaves the
subtle strokes of genius or mediocrity
1t is to the interpreting onlooker kind
of autobiography. Wherefore a farm is
exceedingly interesting as an index of the
character of its owner.

HARRIS REPORTS THAT
BUSINESS OUTLOOK IS GOOD

F. A. Harris. commercial manager Of
the Hupp Motor Car company, has just
returned from an extensive tour of the
midwestern states. and he is very optim-
istio OF the business outlook.
As Mr.. Harris stated, things for the
coming year are in excellent shape, and
with the very large crops which abound
throughout the middle west there Is no
doubt but what we are going to go
through a big season OF prosperity.
ITO escape a big season for 1915, said
Mr.. Harris. with such crop reports as
the government experts have given US.
will be very difficult. '~
1.-The enthusiastic statements we have
read lately on the conditions OF the mid
die west are not exaggerated bit, for
had my epes opened on this. recent trip.
Kansas. Nebraska. Iowa and the Dako'
tas, are certainly in for record year
and the farmers are slreAdy busy with
the bumper harvest OF winter wheat
which is estimated TO be even greater
than the largest record crop ever re-
ported.
zone OF the best informed Southwestern
business men said this week that the bis
crops meant between S225,0OO,0OO and $500
OoO. 600 OF money for the farmers and bust
ness men in the states OF Missouri. Kan
sas. Oklahoma and Nebraska. and thai
money will be obtained in short time
when the large movement OF graiE
sets in. which will be about the middle
OF July. there Is the best OF reasons fol
expecting q genuine trade revival
The policy OF the Washington admin
