deluge of apparently meaningless
wds. and sentences without exciting
no suspicious.
However man player can divert
suspicion by pretending like he is a
trif1e rstewed and kind Of talky. The
opponents viii just laugh at him and
think he will be easy to beat on acct.
of his condition whereas every wd.
he says will have q meaning which
his partner understands and can take
advantage of same
In introducing musical bridge to my
admires 1 described a game Of IL In
which 1 and young lady win
$2600.00 from couple Of dumb bells
at a exclusive Sd. ave. card club.
Perhaps the best way tosintroduce
patter bridge would be to report my
first attempt at same which was in
the nature of q test and which netted
my partner and I the handsome sum
of $14,500.00. This test game was
played in a taxicab coming from AL
toona to N. Y. and our opponents was
Mr.. and Mrs. Gbd Of the Gbd Rub
ber Go. and dirty with money.
My partner was little gal named
Eva Whale who I had once met at a
wealthy uncle Of mine where she
done the cooking. 1t was q big sur
prise when we found ourse1f in the
same taxi after all those yrs.
Mr.. Gbd was the one who suggested
the bridge game and vile the driver
was getting US a table I whispered
my scheme in Miss Whales ear and
she took to 1t like water to a ducks
back. 1t Will be noted that several
of our signals brought in French
wds. but a knowledge Of the mother
tongue is merely a help and not a
necessity.
Well Mrs. Gbd was the first dealer
and she bid / no trump. The rest
of us past and 1t was my lead.
Listen" says Miss Whale just like
it was ordinary conversation. "guess
where had lunch yesterday"
So l asked her where and she says
she had 1t at the Lambs so / figured
that clubs was her strong suit.
What did you have?" I asked her
Wheat cakes was her reply and
7 realized she must have eight clubs
as wheat is the French wd. for eight
So led out my FIVE diamonds which
run from the ace down to the ten and
then led her a low club and she took
the rest of the tricks as she had dis
carded five loosing hearts on my dia-
mond leads. We thus started of with
a grand slam besides setting the Gbds
six odd. The last named was dumb
floundered.
1t was my next deal and I bid
spade and Mr.. Gbd doubled
when I get to NY" says Miss
Whale. Il am going to, see ball
game"
BY this remark I gathered that her
best suit was a diamond.
'I want to see the Giants play"
contipued Miss Whale. "I am a great
admire of that veteran left hand
pitcher they have got"
WELL the veteran left hand pitcher
w on the Giants is Nehf which is
the French wd, for nine so I knowed
she had nine diamonds. Mrs. Gbd
took her partner out of his double
with bid of 2 clubs. had all the
Fonors in hearts and spades along
with the ace and small diamonds
and the ace OF clubs. So bid seven
diamonds which our opponents dou-
bled and we treated ourself to an

other grand salambo. BY this time
the Gbds was dumb fioundered.
Mr.. Gbd now dealt and bid 8 dia-
monds himself and Miss Whale i'm
mediately begin reciting a old verse
which 1 had not heard since boyhood
days
Lemonade made in the shade and
stirred says Miss Whale.
Well / remembered the wds. which
comes after stirred namely with a
spade" SO as I had good help for a
spade bid, why when It come my turn
bid spades and they left US have
IL and this time we had to be content
with a small salambo but the Gbds
was absolutely dumb fioundered. Miss
Whale of course would Of bid the spade
another that maybe 1 would play the
hand a whole lot hettey.
This same reasoning led her to make
the following remark after she had
dealt the next hand:
Another thing ! am going to see in
n. Y. is a good western picture. am
a great admire OF Will Rogers and
Tom Mix and those kind Of actors"
OF course it was plain that she was
limiting at the name Of w. S. Hart and
had a heart bid Of her own but wanted
me to play the hand. So bid heart
and this time we slumped and only
took odd. 1t was during this hand
that L forgot how many trumps was
out and my partner seen my distress
''If they is one animal love 1t is a
cat" she says. and realized they was
still trumps out as cat is the French

STONE
DUE TO BLASTING

of the matter was made it was not
recognized that heavy blasting, or
even severe blows from sledges, had
a tendency to weaken the cementing
material that holds together the rock
grains or crystals in any stone. Now
no quarryman would think of placing
on the market stone that had been
stunned. Even in continental Europe,
which is always backward in dis
carding old methods and adopting
improvements, this lesson has been
learned. 1t was formerly the prac-
tice to blast out stone. even in marble
quarries. The effect upon the deli
cate materials, especially such mar
bles as were taken out under the old
method, can readily be imagined.
This is the reason the old marble
ouarries of Europe present such re-
markable "spall banks" the debris
often preventing necessary develop
ment work. The wastefui powder
man has been displaced and in his
stead is installed the wire saw, which
cuts the stone from its native bed
without injuring it's texture In the
least. Here in America we use the
channeling machine, which cuts the
stone into rectangular blocks with
the minimum of waste and does not
stun the stone.
Another great Improvement has
come in a knowledge of the neces-
sity for a proper seasoning of stone.
While the presence of water in the
interstices, or sap" as it is called,
in all stone, has been recognized for
a century or more, the part that it
plays in weathering was unknown
until recent years.
Evening star., 1923-06-10

TN many countries OF the old world
and in some sections of the new
are found monolithic shafts, or vast
structures of stone OF prehistoric
origin that have withstood the as
saults of time for untold centuries.
Many Of these retain to this day deli
cate ornamentations. elaborate sculp-
ture and inscriptions that can still
be deciphered. Gathered into our
museums are sarcophagi enriched
with carvings bearing the chiseI
marks almost as sharp as when they
were wrought by the artisans 1900
and more years before the Christian
era. Can one ask for more evident
proofs of durability than this?
On the other hand. 1t has been
pointed out that stone structures of
only a score Of years show signs
Of disintegration, and much is made
Of this by those who would substi-
tute some other material for stone.
It Is needless TO attempt to ignore
these charges. The explanation for
the defects is simple enough. In no
form Of human activity has there
been more stupendous change during
the past generation or so than in
building construction. We have passed
In a comparatively short time from
the simple, unpretentious structures
OF our forefathers to buildings of
elaborate design and ornamentation
and substituted for wood and brick
stone Of every variety, often brought
from distant lands. ouarries them
selves were developed far faster than
scientific knowledge of quarrying
methods. Mistakes were bound to
be made, not only in the adaptation
Of materials for specific purposes, but
also In the preparation of these ma
terials. But the lessons of these
mistakes have been learned. and it
is we'll nigh impossible that they can
occur again.
The causes OF the disintegration
and decay OF stone in the, past are
perfectly determinable and they have
been thoroughly eliminated. In the
first place. certain classes of i'm
ported stone have rarely given sat
isfaction in American cities. While
durable In the country of their pro-
duction, they are unsuited to the
severity and extreme changes Of the
American climate. We no longer at
tempt to bring stone for structural
use from foreign lands unless its
ability to withstand extreme climatic
changes has been thoroughly dem
onstrated. More important, however.
has been the recognition of scien-
tific methods in quarrying.
A few years ago the main require
ment of the quarryman was the cheap
and expeditions removal of the stone
from its natural bed. Immense blocks
were broken loose by tremendous
charges Of explosives and then these
masses Of rock were split into sizes
convenient for handling. II the stone
showed no visible cracks or starts,
and held together under the cutting
and dressing, It was thought to be in
prime condition. Quarrymen and
builders were intensely surprised if
stone handled in this way went to
pieces and disintegrated in few
years after having been set in a
building. Until more serious study

"O the editor: Some wks. ago T
wrote a attfcle in these COL
unns on musical bridge whist
and described how smooth a
pair Of bridge players could get along
together provided the both of them
was well verst in old songs and could
signal acrost the table to each other
by just humming or whistling.
Little did / think when ! penned
that article that it would revolution

by officials of the n. Y. whist club
that all the big games today is being
played in ,accordances with the hints

star players who win rubber after

helpless when opposed to players that

Further and more the sale OF old
song books has increased more than
800 per cent since the article come
out. a practical knowledge of there
contents being now considered as
important a adjunct to a high class
game of bridge as a qt of scotch and
2 ash trays.
However II can be ready seen that
AZ soon as all players has mastered
the art OF musical bridge. why they
won't be no advantage in playing 1t
because when a player signals there

to lead by means OF song. the oppo-

"COrk Wool"

"WooL" is being manufactured
from cork in Spain, and it
may be substituted for natural wool
in mattresses, pillows, quilts, etc, as
1t is cleaner and lighter than wool.
Government officials at Washington
have received from the same source
information relative to a Spanish
process for utilizing cork as a textile
material. The cork is employed in
the form of very fine pellicles, of
which fourteen go to make the thick

rivers, the Hwang and the Yangsze.
For about 130 miles north of the
