1t is astonishing how many tricks
and games are lost by fnattention to
small details. There are a number of
points insisted on by the experts which
the average player thinks is drawing
things pretty fine. 1t is true that IN
many cases it makes no ditference
whether the point made was carried
out or not. but your expert always
goes on averages. and averages VIII
beat any game in the world if the play
er has the odds on his side.
There are so many plays that rol-
low a seemingly important rule, but
which make no difference Whatever
in the result nine times out OF ten'
such as the leads from high cards.
What does it matter whether the ace
or the king is led from ace, king? AS
a rule, it does not matter. but every
now and then there comes along a
hand where it does matter and in
which a trick or more is lost by not
, beginning with the king. 1t can never
be true that tricks are lost by leading
correctly. so why not lead right?
Take the case of leading to your
partners suit when he does not get
the contract. The rule is to show any
ace-k.ng suit of your own first. if you
are fortunate enough to have one. In
nine hands out of ten your failure
to do so makes no difference, but in
the tenth it does. On the other hand,
your playing the cards correctly can
not lose anything, and may gain.
There are countless untaught play
erS who imagine 1t makes no differ
ence whether they win the first round
of their partners lead with the king
or the queen, holding both In the
majority of cases the outcome exon
crates them, as nothing is lost. but
every now and then there comes
hand in which the misplay leads the
partner into error and he loses tricks
that he could have saved.
There is no difference in a part
nership game between a player losing
tricks himself by his own mismanage-
ment of his cards and the tricks lost
by his partner thru plays which this
ismanagement suggested. One plays
the deuce of a suit 10 mis- partner 5
lead. and the partner shifts when he
would have gone on had the nine fall
en- instead of the deuce.
The trick was lost by not going on;
but who lost it? The leader who was
scared off the suit, or the partner who
should have encouraged nm to keep
on?
There is one little detail which doeI
not seem of much importance to the
average player and that is the differ
ence between major and minor suits
in leading up to no-trumpers. Good
players assume that no-trumperS very
seldom have length in major SUITS but
very often in minor suits. A player

trumps if those diamonds were hearts.
Reasoning from the general rule
that most no-trumperS are stronger in
minor suits than in majoE good pay
ers prefer to open a major suit rather
than a minor suit, if there seems to
be a choice and nothing strongly in
favor of the minor.

more than q century, was finally
released by the Massachusetts
Legislature and in 1920 made a
state of the Union.
One Of the first questions which
arose after the cession by the
colonies of their territory lying
west of the Alleghenies was as to
the method Of its government. 4.
Congressional Committee was APP
pointed to consider the matter
with jefferson at its head and the
result of its labors was the pres
entation of plan of which JEFF
ferson was understood to be the
author by which the area in ques-
ton should be divided into ten
new states, som of the names be-
ing drawn from the Greek and
Latin and others from Indian
phraseology. The peninsula ly-
ing between Lakes Huron and
Michigan was to be called "Cher-
onesus," that bounded by the Wa
bash, Ohio ard Mississippi POLY
potamia," that between the Upper
Ohio and the Great Lakes Metro
potamia," while other parts of
the area were given the names of
"Illinoia," "Assenissippia," mich
igania," "Sylvania," Saratoga"
and Washington"
The above measure devised and
recommended by Jefferson was ac-
cepted by Congress and put upon
the statute books but before steps
had been taken to carry it into
actual operation it was repealed
by the celebrated "Ordinance of
1887" establishing the Territory
Northwest of Ohio" of which Cen
eral Arthur St. Claire was made
the first governor, in 1888, and the
first Territorial Government,
which was to prove such an i'm
portant factor in the development
of the western area, put into oper-
alton. General st. Claire estab-
lished the scat of the government
of that enormous territory at the
little village of "Losantiville"
which he renamed Cincinnati" in
honor of the Society of the Gin
cinnati" of which he, as an officer
of the Revolutionary War, was a
member. In 1890 an act was pass
Ell Tor a Slr1liar form OF govern
ment in a part of the area south
of the Ohio which was to be desig-
mated "The Territory South Of the

the Ohio except the omission for

This story Of our expansion and
transformation into the states
would not be complete without a
word about our non-contiguous
areas, Porto Rico, the Philippine
Islands, Hawaii, the Virgin Is
lands, Guam, Tutuila, and the
Panama Canal Zone. Porto Rico
and the Philippine Islands fell into
our hands as a result of the war
with Spain, though we paid to
Spain S20,000,000 for full can
collation. of her claim to the Phil
lippines. Guam which lies east Of
the Philippines and had been held
by Spain was taken over by the
United States in 1898 during the
war with Spain. Our little island
of Tutuila in the Samoan group
fell to the United States in 1899
after long years of joint admins
tration of the group by Great Bri-
tain, Germany and the United
States. It's chief value is in its
fine harbor which is designated as
the best in the South Pacific while
