NEW YORK, November 17.-Ma-

that In the past year has caused
many Americans to lose hours Of
sleep, is dead--so far as Its name
is concerned. Instead, its enthu-
siasts will play Ma Chang" be-
cause several Chinese insist there
was no ~" sound in the Chinese
word.
Devotees of the pastime adopted
rules and bylaws for their inter-
national organization to standard
fze the Chinese game. Then came
a halt in the proceedings. How
should the name Of the game be
spelled? Several Chinese gentle-
men present maintained that the
"Ma-Jong" rendition wac entirely
wrong. The American Contingent
stood Steadfast for the familiar
spelling. But after hours Of argu-
ment the Chinese contingent won.
The name Of the organization Is to
be the International Ma Chang
Players Association, and the hy-
phen Is taboo.
Mrs. Frederick C. Kohl was elect

Curious Though Timid.

For several days that man bird re-

did it go UP in the air. The aviator
came down to 1t every day, and usu-
ally Farmer Browns Boy came with
him. They worked or, the machine.
and Of course all the little people who
saw them were very curious.
Now when you see thing long

way with Nanny Meadow Mouse. AS

more curious about it. Finally she

Not even curiosity and the desire for
good things to eat could overcome
Nanny's timidness. She couldn't for
get how Danny had been carried
away. Even though he had been
brought back. she couldn't bring her
self to trust that man-bird
Now all this time the aviator had
been keeping a sharp watch. He
knew. OF course. that Danny had been
making daily visits TO that airplane.
He knew it because the food kept
disappearing. Once or twice he
caught glimpse Of Danny scamper-
ing along one Of his private little
paths In the grass. Then one day he
spied Nanny peeping out at him from
little clump of grass. He knew it
wasn't Danny because Danny had Just
disappeared In another direction
That afternoon when he left, the
aviator left some food on the ground
under the airplane. That night Nanny
had a feast. After that she looked
for food there every day after the
aviator and Farmer Browns Boy had
left, and never was she disappointed
She, too, began to grow fat.

Answer: Marry the one you love
the best and who is most conseniai
to YOU. Nothing else really counts
in marriage but that.
But so far as widowers are con-
cerned. they are a preferred matri-
monial risk. and. other things being
equal, make better husbands than
men who have never been married.
You see. young man thinks that
he knows all about women, and now
to manage them. and he Is set on
being the head of the house, and
being obeyed. He has figured out on
paper just how much money " VIII
take to live on. He thinks that
woman can do her own housework.
and always keep her hands in a nice.
soueezable condition. and wear pretty
clothes. and meet him with gIad,
sweet smile. and that she VIII spend
her time telling him how grateful
she is to him for having married her.
and giving her a nice. easy job. where
She doesn't have anything to do but
cook. and clean the house, and sew,
and patch, and darn. etc.

some delicious food. and he told her
that there was plenty more, up there
lie she would only come and get it.
You see that aviator hadn't forgotten
his little friend. He felt sure that
Danny would return to the airplane,
and so he always left food there.
~ Danny told Nanny>all about the In
side of that man-bird, and Nanny
ligrew more and more curious. She
Just ached to go with Danny and see
lit. But she was too tiinid. She just
llcouldn't trust herself in that man
bird, even though 1t seemed so harm
less. But she couldn't keep away
from it. Even in the daytime she
would steal over where she could
1cok at that great man-bird and think
about all the wonderful things that
Danny had told her of his Journey
lin IT.
I Danny came and went as he
'.pleased. He had no fear at all. He
was getting fat. with the good living
which he didn't have to work for,
