This is fish story, but true
nevertheless. Two fishermen from
kennebunk Beach caught and sold
to T. E. Woodmansee of the kcnne-
bunkport Fish Market a monster fish
weighing between eight and nine
hundred pounds. They received
eight cents per pound for it. 1t
took six men to load it on the cars
for New York. This fish is known
to old fishermen as a horse mackerel
but is sold in cities under the name
of tuna fish.

Preliminary Information Before thu
 prncedure of the PIny.

Preliminary Information Before the
 Procedure of the Play.
 There are many players who will consider this preliminary information entirely too elementary to even read; however even with the best players it is necessary to refresh the mem- ory for the small points that they may have forgotten, and for the be- ginners 1t is essential that these rules are not only read. but memorized Bridge is little like skating-if you once master it, you seldom forget it.
 1.-The game of auction bridge is played by four people, two against two as partners.
 1.-Two packs of cards of different colors are used to save time; while one pack is being dealt, the partner of the dealer shuffles the other pack in order that they may be ready for the next dealer who is at the left.
 S-ln drawing for deals, the lowest gets it, ace being low. In drawing, spades are ranked lowest, hearts next. diamonds next. clubs highest. (The reverse in valuation of bid.)
 4-Atfer the bid has been made and three passes make it final, the one on the left of the declarer leads, and dummy is then spread and the play proceeds.
 5--A trick is four cards, one from each hand. 6-Odd tricks are those won by the declarer in excess of six tricks (which constitute a book).
 todd tricks count in direct score as follows:
 No Trumps, 10 Diamonds, ' Spades, 9 Clubs, 6 Hearts, s
 Doubling: Double the above and each double is twice the value of a trick

 Has your wife's entrance into poli- tics changed your home conditions, MT. Huck"
 l tried to assume an air of im- personal interest, but I'm afraid didn't quite succeed. What woman can be entirely impersonal in asking her husband such a question, even though she has temporarily cast aside the role of wife for that of inter- viewer.
 "I should say it has," came like a shot from the wiry little man sitting opposite me. Tt has put the whole family on it's toes trying to keep up to mother.
 Do you approve, of what your wife is doing?"
 Miss Newspaperlady." he replied with q chuckle, you may say that though 1 am shy person, l am in deed proud of the distinction of being the oniy congressional husband in captivity. Like Nathan Hale, 1 only regret that l have but one wife l will understand better what l think of Mrs. Winifred Huck and her ac- complishments when I say I should rather be married than President"
 .I think you have both those quota tions little mixed, MT. Huck," in terrupted
 Mixed or not, that's the way I feel about it. so don't change them," came the retort.
 You ought to have a pencil and notebook" suggested the little girl who was eagerly taking in the inter- View from the side lines. flanked by her three brothers. There was Don, our big boy. who wore glasses and a contagious smile and thoroughly en- joyed mussing up the cat There was Wallace. whose interest in the interview party was shared with his anticipation of the arrival of some- one he called Hen And finally there was Robert. Jr., aged 10. who seemed to be all hands and feet.
 Pm d high class interviewer who never takes notes." I replied airily to the little girl who had made the suggestion, feeling in my pocket to be sure my pencil and pad were there and hoping I could live up to the role.
 Do you miss the society of your wife while she is ir Congress?" con- tinued.
 Not too much"
 ''Is that your only answer? asked little heatedly. Don't you really miss your wife when she Is away from you?"

draw for their tables. The game pro- ceeds by drawing for partners, the two lowest and the two highest play ing together: the lowest cut deals, ace being low. Only four deals are made, each person dealing once.
 I think it is far better that if all four players in the first deal pass, that the came person deals again, so that each one will have an equal chance.
 If a game is made in one hand, you sctre 125 in the honor score. The score from part of a game cannot be carried over and added to in order to gain the 125. You progress on to- tai score, adding both honors and points. The usual bonus for progress

I mean that no matter whct role a woman might play in the po- litical world she always must be mo- ble, she always must hold a high standard of living and thinking, so that she might arouse the nobleness in others, especially in other poli- ticians
 Since Mrs Huck's World Refer endum on War has caused so much comment in Washington" he con- tinued, and has been so msquoted in some of the smaller papers of the country I would like to tell you what I know about it. Mrs. Huck takes the stand that now is the time to establish foundation for world peace and she also knows that the only way to go about 1t Is to pre- sent a feasible plan. Anyone can think up a set of rules which if the different countries would follow would make a peaceful world, but her idea is to present the workable plan."
 You are getting very serious, MT. Huck."
 We are all through with the funny business now, Mrs. Huck. for l tell you. this is serious. My wife has introduced the first workable plan ever presented in the United states for war referendum. It does not even suggest that this country at any time be put at dis advantage, and incidentally hers is the first war referendum resolution that has ever gone before the House foreign affairs committee. She has been criticized and ridiculed because her ideas have some resemblance to impracicable measures that already have been brought before the pub lic.- She takes them like a man, discounts the ridicule, charging 1t to political profit and loss and says that 1t will all help to bring about an understanding of what her work in Congress really is.'
 You want all this to go down in your interview" I asked, scribbling rapidly.
 Why not?"
 World Peace Important.
 I am surprised that the male mind should find the subject of world peace Of so much importance. I al ways felt that as the mother-wolf or dog would fight so much more fierce ly than the father to protect her young, so 1t would be the woman of the human race who would take the work for world peace more seriously than the man and would be some what alone in her continual, per sistent. intelligent, and even patient fight to save her children from the war monster"
 Papa, you never told us the story of the war monster" broke in little Robert. "Is it anything like St. Georges dragon?'
 Yes, son, something on the same order and by the way, it is getting past your bedtime"
 The young man looked as though he wished he had not spoken and the little girl looked at him as though he had made a terrible tacti- cal error, but they both went off to bed
 "Boots," said Don. as he and the cat left the room, Tt Is time we at tended to our lessons"
 Wallace put on his hat and left in search of 'Hen,' and MT. Huck took his serious mood and buried 1t in one of those horribly technical books on engineering.
 The house quieted down and soon the only sound to be heard was the clicking of my typewriter as pounded out the interview.

 But Mrs. Huck misses you great

 Misses me! With over four hum
 dred congressman in Washington to
 greet her daily, not to mention a host
 of senators and President thrown

 This is no interview" I said try | ing to get stern. We cannot tell
 who is the interviewer or the inter- | viewed and from now on we start all over MT. Huck, I believe you
 have my pencil,' l added with icicles
 in my voice.
 Mamma love Papa?" said Don to the cat. who answered by purring
 louder than ever.
 Now, Mir. Huck," said, looking
 down at my notes. "here is one ques-
 tion I would like to have you an swer: There are still some people
 who think that the only place for
 woman is in the home. What is your opinion?'
 Plnce in the Home.
 Now that is a fair question" said the gentleman. Of course womans place is in the home. She ought to do all the work and not expect or hope to share any of the glory. Why
 should she? When she gets her housework done she should go out and campaign for the men, also If the candidate happens to be her hus- band, she should keep the children and the neighbors' children quiet the l.next morning after her husband has had a hard night campaigning for himself. That is the way 1t always has been. Why change now? What right has a woman anyway to go out and beat a regular politician out of his job? Are the women trying to ruin the game entirely? A wom- an should keep right on washing her children's faces and waiting on them until they are voters. and then cam paign if necessary, to put the he- ones in office. As for the women hurting the man in politics of course it will hurt him if she beats him out of his job. Do you think l am going back on the boys and fall for this woman stuff? Nevcr"'
 Then you do not believe woman should run for officer" I demanded. Well if she gets to the office on time and does not lose her balance or breath in getting there l have no objections" Please be serious, MT. Huck," said, your wife is member of Congress; I have been assigned to interview you on questions of inter- est and importance. What in your opinion should be the position of women in public life?"
 s"I am going to answer that in the words of Lowell" said MT. Huck.

Architecture, 1t Is Declared,
Should Be Given Place in
Big Galleries.

Washington. - Museums are now
urged to collect doors, stairways, and
even entire houses, to add to their
collections. Architecture, so archi-
tects believe, should be given a place
in the galleries of our museums as
the mother of the arts and as the art
which most vitally concerns our daily
life.
Such exhibits would enable the pub
lie not only to become acquainted with
examples of the best American design
and construction, but also to absorb
the fundamentals of good taste in
architecture. Students of the build
er's art would have dependable
source of information and inspiration
for their work. The fine things that
have been done by American builders
in the past would be remembered
more substantially than by vague
tradition.
