FORMER GLENWOODITES
IN PASSION PLAR

The following letter was recently
received by Glenwood friends Of Mrs.
j. Finley Poets, formerly Miss Nell
Bledsoe, who several years ago lived
here with her mother, Mrs. Bledsoe,
who taught in the public schools here.
Mrs. Poets, with her husband and
mother, is taking part in Americas
Passion Pageant, "The Wayfarer,"
given in Seattle, Washington, the week
of July $3.50:
1886 Franklin Ave.,
Seattle, Washington,
July Is, 1921.
Dear Friends-
1 think perhaps you will be timer
ested to know that mother, Mr.. Poets
and 1 are taking part in the religious
pageant, "The Wayfarer.' Mother is
in, the epilog, Mr.. Poets in the seated
chorus of twenty eight hundred voices,
and l am in the stage choir of two
hundred voices. We do some dramatic
work and pantomime in connection
with the singing of the nine or ten
choruses from memory.
The card enclosed gives one faint
idea of the beauty and grandeur of one
Of the scenes.
Mr.. Poets and l are members of the
Temple Chorus of the First Methodist
church, and Mr.. Lynch, the producer
of the pageant, is our choirmaster and
my voice teacher. The choir is enjoy
ing its two months vacation now, but
will convene the last week in August.
We have been living here for the
past three years, and like it better all
the time.
The weather this summer is delight
fully cool, SO cool, in fact, that there
are very few days when one does not
need wrap.
Memorial Day we met Charles Rohr
and family and spent pleasant time
talking over old friends and associa-
lions.
Mother and l are going for little
trip this morning to spend the day
with friends on Vashon island.
With very kindest regards to all my
Glenwood friends, am
Sincerely yours,
NELL BLEDSOE PEETS.

New-York tribune., 1921-01-02
Auction Bridge

Bile is likely to be it will often be
found to be entirely imaginary.
One very common situation is
shifting a suit because dummy can
trump it, overlooking the fact that
If the declarer has any of that suit
to lead, he can give dummy the ruff,
If you don't In the mean time, by
the shift, you have killed a potential
trick winner in your partners hand
and gained nothing.
There are two rules which should
always be impressed on the players
mind when shifting suits; that is.
when the suit first opened, which is
always a blind lead, is abandoned.
These rules are: Lead through the
strong suits, especially those in the
dummy that are headed by honors
which are mot touching, such as ace
queen, king-jack. Lead up to the
weak suits; suits that have no high
cards showing, especially if you
have a card that is better than anv
in dummy.
Leading through strength means
making the apparently strong hand
play before your partner, so that if
1t does not put up a winning card
your partner may get trick or two
with cards which are not the best Of
suit Leading a suit that has been
called by dummy and denied by the
declarer is one form of leading
through strength, but that is usually
confined to the blind opening.
Leading up to weakness means
making the partner of the weak hand
play before your partner plays and
often results in placing the second
hand in an awkward position. Here
is a good example Of the application
Of these two rules:
New-York tribune., 1921-01-02
AUCTION BRIDGE

Qucstion-Dummy has queen, jack
and small in clubs, the declarer hold
ing ace and two small, with a trump;
clubs not led so far, five tricks to play.
1t is necessary to make two club tricks
to go game. Inadvertently the decar-
er leads the ace from his own hand.
when it was dummy's play. The oppo-
nent on the right demands the lead
from the other hand, so dummy leads
the queen. Second hand plays small and
calls the ace to be played to the trick:
not as an exposed card, but as the card
already played to the trick-J. H. G.
Answer-lf the lead from the wrong
hand is corrected, and it is made from
the right hand, the card led in error
can be taken up and the third hand can
play what ne pleascs to the trick. In
this case there is no obligation on the
declarer to play the ace.
Question-In the new laws. No. 5Sc
1t says the revoke is not complete until
the revoking side has played to the
next trick. Does this mean that even
after the trick is turned and quilted
ono cannot call the revoke until the
next trick IS played to? Please inter
pret this for us.-(Mrs) II. C. P.
Answer: If you will be good enough
to go back few pages in the new law:
you VIII find paragraph, SEA, which
defines the completion of the revoke as
turning and quitting by the rightfu
winners of the trick. The paragraph
you refer to is for cases in which the
partner tries to save possible revoke
by asking if the one who renounces
has none of the suit

ness in the earth. They are the re-
gions where a readjustment of the
distribution Of weight is going on
in order to reach condition of sta
bility. There always have been
earthquake belts or regions, and as
far as there is anything to show
there always will be, unless in some
far distant future the earth should
be reduced to such a compact mass
that there would be no room for
movement. That, of course, is one
Of the predictions based on geological
history as it is read--a gradually
cooling and contracting of the earth.
But that prediction runs up against
New-York tribune., 1921-01-02

XK 7HILE we are examining the
wv various methods by which
the partners who are op-
posed to the declaration maneuver to
get as many tricks out of their cards
as possible, which must be the key
to their bidding when we come to it,
their play after the first trick must
not be overlooked.
There are some very obvious tricks
that any one can count, such as the
top trumps, or an almost certain
ruff in suit of which they are void,
or against no-trumper there may
be suit that one lead will establish,
with reentry. In addition to these
there are certain tricks that are
shown to be possible, or even highly
probable, after one has had a look at
dummy.
Having started with a good suit,
and winning the first trick, there are
many situations in which it is ad-
visable to shift. One of the most
important of these is when going on
would establish certain tricks
against you in the dummy Another
is when you would like to get your
partner to lead the second round of
your suit, to see what he has and
what the declarer is holding up
against you. The shift after leading
the king from cc-king- jack and find
ing the queen is not in dummy is
common example.
The principle to be kept in mind
in shifting suits is always to have a
good reason for it. If there is no
apparent disadvantage in going on.
and nothing obvious to be gained By
shifting, the shift is one of the worse
faults that player can be guilty of,
although it is very common with be-
ginners. More tricks are lost by the
failure to go on with the suit first
opened than by any other system of
guessing known to the game.
1t is to the advantage Of the de-
clarcr to confuse his adversaries as
much az possible. and to lead them TO
believe that they will get into trou-
bic if they 20 on with suit. but il
they stop to consider what the trou-

under side Of the crust, and it
is what causes earthquakes. Along
the fault lines, the sum of which
makes up the earthquake belts, the
weight is being shifted back and
forth, the stress and strain are
changing INCREASINGLY; new expert
ments in distribution are being tried.
There comes a moment when the
North Pole jerks with a particularly
eccentric wabble and a nicely bal
anced weight of some hundreds of
millions of tons under the San Fran
cisco fault line, that an instant be-
fore seemed to have been put in
place for all eternity, slips q couple
Of miles to the west and San Fran
cisco Is wrecked by an earthquake.
Shocks Elsewhere
We get from this tho theory that
connects the Peking and the South
American earthquakes. It is that
the Peking earthquake means that
New-York tribune., 1921-01-02

earth is broken through and the two
sides of the break are liable to slide
on each other when one side or the
other becomes overloaded. The slide
may be only a few inches. On the
other hand, faults have been mapped
$4,000 feet in thickness. An earth
quake belt is a succession of fault
lines preserving a general tendency
in direction. San Francisco lies on
fault line that has been traced for
about 200 miles, the city being ap-
proximateIy in the center Of it.
That is the reason San Francisco is
subject to earthquakes.
The New York Region
New-York tribune., 1921-01-02
One Theory Dead

The earth is no longer considered
as having an interior partly molten
and partly gaseous, ready at any
moment to vomit forth smoke, ashes
gas and flames along with flowing
streams Of molten lava. 1t is now
considered as having a core solid
throughout the greater part of its
extent, but heated by pressure to
the point where it is ready to fuse
and, in some places, owing to the
unequal distribution Of weight, ac-
tually fused. At some of these
places where there is fusion there
are active~ volcanoes. But that the
fused points are not necessarily of
large extent Is shown by conditions
In the Hawaiian islands, where with.
in twenty miles Of each other ara
two volcano craters, one active and
the other inactive.
Sporadic volcanic action probably
is caused by the same conditions
that cause earthquakes, shifting Of
weight in the interior of the earth.
1t may be that the movement takes
place at a point where fusion al
ready exists, and there is Just
enough additional pressure to open
a crevice for the escape of the gases
generated, or it may be that the
movement causes fusion under a
weak point in the crust and vol
canic explosion follows the genera
tion of gases. In either case there
would be a local earth tremor.
Several explanations can he Of
fered for volcanoes that are subject
to periodical eruptions. One is that
the vent is not large enough to al
low for the escape of gases as they
are formed. Thus, when there comes
an overload of gas there will be
violent eruption. Another expla,
nation is that there is a shifting ct
weight in the ne;ghborhood of the
volcano with the resulting increase
in gas pressure and violent eruption.
Vesuvius, being on one of the great
earthquake belts, could be explained
in either way.
New-York tribune., 1921-01-02

an earthquake center it would be
necessary for a fault line to be
opened in this region. In other
words, while there might be an earth
tremor in New York, for this city
to be once more a shock center the
crust Of the earth must be broken
through in this region. And that is
why the catastrophe would be Of
such magnitude, if New York were
to resume her place in an earth
quake belt.
The complicated motions the earth
goes through are the probable causes
Of earthquakes, combined with the
earth's composition. The earth ro-
tates on its axis around the sun,
and it's axis wabbles- There arc
enough different kinds Of motions
there to account for almost any,
thing. At no time is the strain equal
lied over all sections Of the globe,
and the consequence is that the
New-York tribune., 1921-01-02

an earthquake center. Whether or
when they will again be earthquake
centers it is not possible to say.
But New York experienced an earth
trenor a hundred years ago, and
the Mississippi Valley feels shocks
now occs ssional]y. And it can be
predicted that if New York again
finds herself in an earthquake belt
the first convulsion will surpass any
thing history records, except in the
writings of the rocks themselves.
Earthquake regions are regions
Of fault lines in the crust of the
earth, regions where the crust of the

earth is constantly seeking in all it's
parts to adjust itself to new and un-
expected strains. 1t is creaking and
groaning and shivering and trem-
bling, and the worst thing for it's
inhabitants is that it is constantly
shifting its weight.
What it is after is a condition of
stability, a situation in which its
weight will be so distributed that
no wabbles will disturb its equa-
ninity. And it is experimenting con-
stantly on new forms of distribution.
Practically all of this action goes on
in the interior Of the earth, on the

hearts, and A leads the king of
clubs. Whether the ten dropped by
q is false card or not, to 90 on
with the ace would surely establish
two clubs in the dummy, which
might later give Z two valuable dis
cards. The natural shift is through
the strong hand, so A leads the ten
Of spades. Dummy must cover, and
BIS queen wins.
To go back with the club would
save AS ace, but it is not as good a
play as to lead up to the weakness
in diamonds. The worst play would
be to continue the spades, giving
dummy sure reentry for the clubs.
A wins the diamond, but does not
continue it, preferring the spade
nine, which establishes the eight.
These combined plays hold z down to
his contract, the odd trick.
Here is the solution to Problem
No. 81, given last week, in which
hearts we're trumps and w wanted
all six tricks:
4 starts with a diamond, which
Y trun,ps with the king. Y then
leads the small trump and Il wins
whichever trump B plays, picking up
the other trumps on the next trick.
On this second trump lead Y discards
the ace OF spades. This leaves the
way clear for to make two spades
and a diamond.

seem, the two conditions-cooling
and contraction on the one hand and
a heated fusible core on the other
must meet and establish an equilib-
rum, SO that the cooling and con-
tracing process will stop. But
whether that will mean the end of
earthquakes is something that will
be known only to our descendants

POKER

Question--A is dealing and one of
the players asks for one card, which is
run off, but for some reason OF other
he fails to get it into his hand When
called he can show only four cards.
He bets as there is no advantage in
playing with four only he can win
the pot, although he could not play
with more than four.-J. A. B.
Answer-Any hand of more or less
than five cards is foul. 1t is quite
true that there cannot possibly be any
advantage in playing with only four
cards. That point was made by one
Of the earliest writer's on poker, John
Backbridge, 1875. but the modern
player wants to know what became Of
the fifth card. 1t might have been
passed to a silent partner, who wanted
just that card to fill.

Just as the earth is wrinkled with
fault lines, so is it pock-marked with
the craters of extinct volcanoes.
Volcanoes are another of the
products of the earths attempts
to get itself into condition
of stability. They are not the
cause of earthquakes, other than To-
cal tremors. Great shocks, cover

there has been a readjustment of
weight and strain in that region that
has brought about a condition of
temporary equilibrium. But the re-
adjustment at Peking demands an
other readjustment elsewhere, Hence
the. Peking earthquake probably will
be followed before great lapse
Of time by another considerable
shock, but as the Peking region has
been stabilized, the succeeding shock
probably will be at great distance
from Peking. 1t is assumed that the
second shock will be on the same
earthquake belt, because while two
principal earthquake belts have been
determined there has as yet been no
connection established between them.
Probably either conditions in the
region Of New York were stabilized
during the ages when this was an
earthquake center, or the earth gave
up the attempt here in disgust and
moved on to the Pacific coast to trv
there. So New York is free from
earthquakes now. But most anv time
the f1ighty old earth may decide that
nothing can be accomplished by con-
tinuing experiments at equilibrium
on the Pacific belt, and then some
other region is going to be in ter
rlole lot Of trouble. Where will it
be? The surface Of the earth is
wrinkled all over with ancient fault
lines. AS geological time is counted.
earthquake belts have been untirinp
travellers, and there is no reason 70
believe they have settled down now
IN a permanent home.
New-York tribune., 1921-01-02
Recorded by a Machine

The study Of earthquakes has been
greatly advanced by the invention of
the seismograph about twenty-five
years ago. This is a very delicate
instrument that records the earth's
tremors and by which can he told
the approximate intensity of an
earthquake and its distance and d.
rection from the point of ohserva-
tion. BY these machines a record
Of all earthquakes is kept, no mat
ter how slight the Ire ,lay be
and no matter if it .eMrs under the
sea and there is ~ visible sign Of
the disturbance
Since the invention of the seismo-
graph it has been discovered that
the vibrations caused by an earth
quake are of two kinds, one that pro-
ceeds through the earth and the
other that follows around the sur
face. The ones that go through the
earth are weaker but more rapid,
and it has been found by observa-
tion that there is a constant rela-
ton between the speed of the two
varieties of waves. The violence Of
the shock is estimated, therefore,
from the record Of the waves travel
ing over the surface, while by noting
the difference in time between the
beginning of the record of the waves
passing through the earth and the
beginning of those travelling over
the surface the distance of ire scene
OF the shock from the point of OBJ
servatlon can be mea asured-not ey-
actly, of course, but with suf1-
cient degree of accuracy.
Can't Tell Direction
So far. it can only be stated that
the earthquake has occurred within
a certain radius of the point Of OBJ
servation. 1t remains to determine
the direction. A second difference
besides speed between the two vari-
cites Of waves does this. The waves
coming through the earth are pres
sional while those travelling across
the surface are oscillatory and are
recorded at right angles to the dl1
rection from which they come.
The record of the great earth
quake observed in Washington De-
cember is, therefore, showed that
the shock occurred at distance OF
about $500 miles from the observa-
tory on line running in a north
west, southeast direction. Twenty
eight hundred miles southeast OF
Washington is point off the Azores
lying in an earthquake belt. The
same distance northwest is region
free from seismic disturbance. The
observatory, therefore, announced
an earthquake of exceptional vlc'
lence. probably under sea in the
neighborhood of the Azores.
