"For several years we have had
here at Barnard a course called Gov
ernment ! and 9. It deals with the
structure Of the United States gov
ernment and takes up the various
departments in the light Of their his
torical development and present
powers. I remember this year when
they came to the lessons on the
functions and powers of the Presi-
dent we had all we could do to make
them go on and study anything else
all spring. We ought to carry this
course further in more advanced
courses and to develop field work in
visits to tho various city and nation
al departments located in New York.
Barnard is peculiarly fitted to be the
center of school of citizenship be-
cause of its location in the heart of
the greatest municipal government
IN the country. Our girls can see
government in the making, as the
students of an isolated country can
not.
"1n addition to enriching our
courses for undergraduate instruc-
tion in politics, we hope, under the
Anna Howard Shaw Memorial Chair
to extend the lectures for women
outside the college. This has been
done in limited way during the
last year, and in response to great
demand from women for q reliable
non-partisan presentment of the DO
litical problems which they are called
to face so suddenly.

AUCTION BRIDGE

Question-The declaration is set by
the opponents making little slam.
Do they count fifty for this Mrs.
E. o.
Answer-Yes. The laws say that if
either takes twelve tricks, it shall be
scored as fifty extra.
Question-We are told that the new
laws allow the dealer to make bid if
all four players pass without bid the
first time around, provided the dealer
announces in advance that she can
make bid if no one else does. Is this
correct Mrs. P.
Answer-There is no such law. Some
players make it a sort of house rule
that the dealer may reserve" so as
to get second chance; but it is not
auction. When this is done, there
should be distinct understanding that
the dealer must bid when it comes
around again. This allows every one
to pass without any fear of the deal
being thrown up. -
Question-The dealer bids heart,
his partner two diamonds, fourth hand
two spades, whereupon the dealer bids
two no-trumps. On this contract he is
set. His partner had three small
hearts and six diamonds to the four
top honors. Should he not have passed
the heart bid and supported it over
the spades &C. L.
Answer With three hearts he
should not have denied that suit. but
having done so, he should have taken
the no-trumper out with three dia-
monds, to indicate the unusual strength.
Three diamonds would have been the
correct bid on the first round, to show
that he was not denying hearts, but
had big diamond suit
Question-In cutting for partners A
turns two cards. Is not the higher his
Cute. M. C.
Answer-For partners, he must cut
again. 1t is only in cutting for entry
into table that the higher cut
stands.

School for Card PLAYERS
POKER

PUkEK
Question: opens a Jack and three
come in, the third man raising It.
whereupon E drops out. When it came
to draw, it transpired that did not
hold openers. None of the three who
came in had openers either, but E,
who was forced out by DIS raise, had
pair of queens. This is very unfair
to the player who could have opened IL
but for the raise Of the false openers.
What should be done in such 4 casei
A. P.
Answer-If DIS raise of supposed
same raise would probably have done
50 IN the other. D would have the
same number in the pot ahead Of him
in either case when he raised II Q
player will not support pair Of queens
against openers raised would he do 50
against four men staying with him,
and one raising him? The pot must be
played for as it stands. It is no ones
business whether the three that come
IN had openers or not, and they had
no right to say what they had; neither
need any one believe them.
Question: opened jack on jacks
up. drew one card, but forgot to dis
cerd. He bet the limit, and the others
all threw their cards into the dead
wood. Then they asked to see openers,
and found the opener with six cards.
What happens to the pot?-W. c. B.
Answer-A wins it. 1t IL admitted
that he had tho opening qualification.
and 1t is rule as old as the game that
a player can win with foul hand II
there is no one with legitimate hand
to dispute it with him. Poker play
ers are warned in every book on tho
game not to throw up their hands until
they have seen openers. Then they
can dispute the pot with foul hand.

A FTER q person has mastered
~ all the possibilities of the
~ straight fnesse, he should be
ready to study the complics-
tions Of another class, which is known
as the double fnesse, because the lead
must be got into the weak hand twice
in order to take second finesse in
case the first one holds.
There are two of these positions;
one includes all the distributions of
ace, queen and jack; the other all the
suits headed by ace, jack and ten.
1t should be fairly obvious that if
ace, queen, jack are in one hand, small
cards only in the other, the hope is
still that the king is in between, and
that if small card is led the jack
or queen will hold. If it does, there
are two ways to play. If the weaker
unAu Coll NC pQL AutO tu0 lSdQ again,
the second inesse can be tried. 9th
erwise, the only hope is to drop the
king by leading the ace right out,
after the first fnesse succeeds. That
is the way most of the amateurs play
this position.
They fail to take full advantage Of
the situation for one of two reasons:
either they do not know enough to
plan ahead for getting the weaker
hand into the lead again, or they are
too impatient to scheme for the sec
ond fnesse.
AS pointed out in the last article
the crack player lays out his plan
and secs what must be done before
he touches \ card. One of the things
that he sees and that the average
player constantly overlooks is that
there Is q double finesse ahead Of him
in that hand, and that tho double
lead from the weaker hand must be
arranged for in advance. 1t is aston
ishing how many tricks are lost through
bad management of these double-fnes-
sing positions. Take this example:

was the sport
of ancient Babylon and
H. Egyptian kings when their


daughters were sold for their
weight in gold.
Not that the ancient princess was
not worth her weight in gold, but
sometimes the gold was weighed out
in short measure.
Such, at least, is the record hand
ed down through the centuries by
the cuneiform Nippur tablets now
in the University Museum at Phila-
delphia. The profiteering incident
has just been translated by DR.. Le-
gram, curator Of the Babylonian sec
tion of the museum.
In those days of polygamy kings
had many daughters which they gave
in marriage to allied monarchs.
Egypt and Babylon commonly ex-
changed daughters in this way, and
all had to be lowered with gold
and jewels. If the recipient had no
daughter to send in exchange he
was expected to send her weight in
gold, and one Babylonian king COM
planned that Egypt had sent him
short weight and was very angry
about it.
The tablet just translated is
taken from the same section Of exca-
walton as the Sumerian tablets, which
contained an account of the Flood
and how Noah, and not Adam, ate
the apple.
The tablet just translated gives

years. 1t is the watch fire of the
Cherokees, fire that is kept burn

his goodness to them and that their
hearts are true.
No one knows when the fire was
kindled, not even Chief Charlie
Tee Hee, but B. F. Alternately, a
white man who lives in Murphy,
says it was burning thirty-three
years ago when he took up his resi-
dence there. 1t does not always

or bronze would fail to
symbolic her spirit. Her
farreaching vision is better ex-
pressed in living, growing memo
rial which will open other new
fields for women in the future, as
she opened them in the past"
This is the pledge to which the
friends of Anna Howard Shaw, the
suffrage leader, have dedicated
themselves as the first anniversary
of her death on July draws near.
In three women's colleges they
will establish chairs of politics or
medicine, as the most appropriate
way of carrying on the work for
women to which she gave her life.
Bryn Mawr and Barnard College
will have new courses in political
science, direct continuation of her
labors in behalf of the political free
dom of women.
Warred Against Disease, Too
In the Women's Medical College
Of Pennsylvania there will also be
established a chair Of preventive
medicine, the testimonial Of women
doctors to her comradeship in the
war against disease-a war in which
she never lost interest, although she
soon came to believe that disease
could never be eradicated by few
physicians, but only by the CO.
operation of all women in securing
better laws for public health.
The education Of women in politi-
cal matters has long been acknowl-
edged in suffrage circles as tho In
evitable next step in the movement.
When the New York suffrage vic
tory was won in November, 1917, the
first reaction of many men was
What will the suffragettes find to
do now?" Men voters, who are
born, full panoplied like Jove, with
complete and perfect understanding
Of all political problems, took it for
granted that, with the right to vote
won, all the women would do would
be to go and vote.
But the women leaders knew bet-
ter. They knew that the majority
of women have not had the same
opportunity for political discussion
that men have; and they believe, too,
that women were approaching their
political responsibility with a graver
sense of it's Importance than the man
of twentyone feels for his first vote.
Schools for women citizens, prim-
ers on politics and correspondence
courses in civics burst from suffrage
headquarters-anda are still flowing
in flood almost as copious as
that of the suffrage pamphlets which
preceded them.
Struggle for Education
Therefore, it is natural that the
suffragists turned to the colleges, as
the fountain heads Of women's learn
- ing, when they undertook a me-
mortal which should carry on the life
work of Anna Howard Shaw. She
herself had been college woman in
the years when it was cruelty hard
for a woman to acquire higher ed
ucation. Her story Of her college
days in Boston, when she lived in an
attic and ate a square meal only
when invited out to Sunday dinner,
is as heroic as any chapter Of her
adventures in snowstorms and min
ing camps in her later suffrage days.
(If you ask us, it is easier to ride
over mountain in a blizzard than
to go through theological school on
Il crackers and tea.)
1t was to the college women Of the
next generation that DR.. Shaw
turned in the later years Of her life
when the bright prospects for suf-
frage victory which had inspired her
youth had somewhat faded away

the opportunity Of women of means
to devote their time to a serious,
scientific study of the problems
which come before the voters.
st is these women to whom we
may turn for leading spirits in po-
litical life, even if we do not find
officeholders among them"
Leaders in the Movement
Barnard College is already proud
Of the leading spirits which it has
produced for the woman movement,
and it is these women who are now
most active in organizing the Anna
Howard Shaw Memorial Chair. A
list Of the committee reads like an
old suffrage campaign committee
Mrs. James Lees Laidlaw, Mrs.
Alice Duer Miller, Mrs. Ogden Reid,
Mrs. Charles Cary Rumsey, Mrs.
Gordon Glass and Miss Virginia c..
Gildersleevs.
AS hint of the way the younger
Barnard graduates are taking to
politics, it is interesting to watch the
activities of Miss Edith Percy Nor
gan, who was interchangeable in her
efforts for Herbert Hoover's nomi-
nation, and of Miss Sara Schuyler
Butler, who was not only her fathers
daughter in the exciting days of the
Chicago convention, when she pre-
sided over his headquarters, but is
captain Of her election district and
keeps careful shepherds eye over
every voter on Election Day.

All Cities Expected To

ATLANTA, May 22.-Although

Salvation Army comprising the
states of Georgia, Florida, North and
South Carolina has raised about
100000 of it's quota of $50O,O00 in
the Salvation Army's second home

will be continued next week to allow
those cities which are now behind to
complete their quotas. Edward

ed today that only about 30 per cent
of the entire territory had failed to

leges that outclassed the many and
We're reserved for the few.
And when the demand came for
a fitting memorial to commemorate
the heroic dead, and the answer
that came back from the men
themselves, who knew better than
any one else the awful price which
their fellow comrades had paid,
was: make it a living memorial y
Thus it was, actuated by the spirit
of living memories, they chose the
community house as q living me-
orial to speak to them always of
comradeship, loyalty, and service
for others.
The idea then of the community
house is to carry on" lest we for
get and slip into our old lines of
debarkations and inditferences.
Social elevations and social cleav-
ages had no part in winning the
war and will not help to hold its
peace
A careful study of the communi-
ty house idea, as it has spread from
one community to another, shows
it's likeness to a Y. NJ. c. A. or a
Y. w. c. A. in the privileges 1t has
offered. social rooms, meeting
places for clubs, rest rooms, library
reading rooms, class rooms, assem-
bly, hall or auditorium, gymna-
stun, swimming pool, shower oaths'
bowling alleys, etc.
The uniuueness of the Amerlcus
Community House lies in its at
tachment to the playground, hken-
ing it to a country club. 1t offers
unusual advantages because OF Its
location and accessibility, and the
climatic conditions here will make
it practically as serviceable In one
season as another.
What we hope to have is an ath-
letic ground for field and track
events, baseball diamond, a foot
ball gridiron, tennis courts, basket
and volley ball courts, swimming
pool, shower baths, and padding
pool for the youngsters, a social
hall, gymnasium, and bowling al
leys.
The board of directors has ap-
pointed a house committee and a
grounds committee-the one to
take charge of the Community
House, making rules and regula-
tions governing it; and the other to
make and develop the athletic field
and lay out a general plan Of the
grounds as a whole, making proIyi-
sion for the location of new build
ings, the swimming pool and the
various activities as they shall de-

Buster Brown and Tige came to

one thousand youngsters, gathered in
front of Churchwell' store, listened
to Buster tell them that they would
be better off if they always obeyed
their parents, laughed when Tige
smoked his pipe, and scrambled with
one another when Buster hurled hun
dreds of souvenirs of several kinds
into the crowd.
1t was a rare occasion for the boys

close and he entertained them with a
monologue of jokes and good advice.
He evoked much laughter when he
caught Tige winking at a girl on the
edge of the crowd and promptly plac-
ed spectacles on him.

Buster drilled the youngsters on some
facts regarding Buster Brown shoes
which he was advertising, and gave
away several special prizes to little

ing whiskey in his possession. The
case grew out of a collision between
his car and one driven by DR.. Her

Of liquor was found in the car. He

that ne himself had placed tne liquor
