Bridge Play
Made Easy
BY w. w. WENTWORTH

queen; Jack: X-any card lower
than 100
WYE have emphasized the fact
w that it is worth one trick
more to play the hand in a suit
than in a no-trump.
When you hold a two-suiter (that
is, two suits each Of five or more
cards. it is usually more advisable
to play the hand in suit.
1t is worth about three tricks
more to play the hand in one OF the
suits when holding a tWo~sulter
than in a no-trump.
Bearing this in mind, when you
hold two five-card suits, take out
partners uncontested no-trump III
a suit if:
/ Both suits are majors.
2. One suit is a major and the
other is minor with some top
strength. 80,
3. Both suits are minors, With
both suits containing some top
strength. .
Bear in mind that in the last
ANALYSIS the probability Of making
game and not the chance possibility
should be the determining factor IN
the take-out.
If YOU take out on nothing 1t may
lead to nothing Your take-out must
not be based on whims. If the de-
sire to "show" be present, 1T must
be restrained.
The urge to play the hand should
not encourage you to make decla-
ration.
The foregoing is but a guide In
taking out a no-trump. 1t may
be epitomized by saying that your
take-out should convey clear and
definite information.
A major take-out should denote
strength and minor take-out gen.
eral weakness.
If your take-out is as changeable
as the weather your partner Will
have to be a mind reader to act in
diligently.
A difference Of opinion may arise
as to the ACCESSIBILITY of shading
slightly some of the requirements
above set forth, but this can only
be answered by good Judgment de-
veloped by experience and not by
acrimony.

(Gary POst-Tribune)

The two leading political parties
have nominated very able men for
president and vice president, and
now there is a unanimous call on
them by the public to run a clean,
educational campaign, free from
the bitterness and recrimination
that has marred many campaigns.
The political argufiers should
thoroughly realize that it does a
cause no good to resort to violent
talk and exaggerated denuncia-
ton.
There is such a thing as Great
ing sympathy for a man or a
,sause by attacking him or it too
Sharply. When such assaults oc-
cur, people feel that they must be
overdrawn and they turn against
the man and the party response
BILE for them.
A presidential campaign ought
to be very educational expert
ence for the American people, If
the discussion is kept on high
plane of argument. 1t is generally
admitted that a two-party system

The first appearance of nova of which we can be
positive is that of TychoS nova, the star which
appeared on Aug 1872 in the constellation of Cas-
siopeia. 1t was called Tycho's because of the
study made Of it by Tycho Brahe, the famed Danish
astronomer.
Between the year 1872 and 1917, astronomers have
observed thirty-two novae large number have been
observed since that day because the systematic watch
of the sky with big telescopes has made the detection
of a nova likely.
Three theories have been advanced to explain the
appearance of ALI three theories assume that
nova is not really star but merely very dim
or dark star which has suddenly hared into new
brilliance for some reason.
One theory is that the dim star collides with an
other dim star The result of such collision would be
the generation of tremendous heat. The rise in tenn
perature would cause the great increase in briance
and result in the appearance of the nova.
This theory is not widely held today however.
The two more popular theories are the nebular and
the tidal theories.
The nebular theory assumes that the star has run
into great nebua. The nebulae great masses of
gaseous material There are many in the sky Some
are luminous shining by absorbed starlight. Others
dark The friction of the star against the nebula
would cause it to flare up with great brilliance.
The tidal theory assumes that large and massive
star passes fairly close to the dim scar. The gravi
rational pull OF the big star would disrupt the dim STAR
causing molten material to be erupted from the center
of it. This eruption would account for the increase
in hriliance.

II a feather and a five-pOund
weight were dropped in a vacuum
which would hit the bottom first
and why?
In a vacuum, feather and a five
pound weight, released together
will hit the bottom precisely at the
same instant. In this connection,
Calico promulgated the law OF
falling bodies as follows: "All bodies,
even the lightest, would fall at the
same rate were it not for the
resistance of the air" From the
experiments of Calico and Sir
Isaac Newton, modern physicists
conclude that in vacuum, the
velocity acquired per second by a
freely falling body is exactly the
same for all bodies.
When should single or double
quotation marks be used?
A direct quotation is inclosed in
quotation marks. If the quotation
stands by itself and is printed IN
different type the inverted commas
may be omitted. A quotation within
a quotation is enclosed in single
quotation marks. In quotation
consisting of several paragraphs,
quotation marks are put at the be
ginning of each paragraph and at
the end of the last. When book,
poem or the like is referred to, the
title may be either enclosed IN
quotation marks or printed in italics.
Can a man who has procured his
first citizenship papers claim the
protection of the United States Gov
eminent and the rights of Ameri-
can citizenship?
An alien who has only his first
papers can claim protection by this
Government only when in the active
service of the United States Army.
If he is a civilian, he can claim
diplomatic protection only from the
Government of which he is still a
citizen or subject. His first papers
do not entitle him to any of the
rights of American citizenship. They
are merely his declaration Of in
tention to become a citizen.
What is the proper way to dis
play the American flag?
1t should be displayed only from
sunrise to sunset, or between such
hours as may be designated by
proper authority. It should be dis
played on national and State holi-
days and on historic and special
occasions. The bulletin entitled
"The United States Flag" can be

BURNETT SURE
DESERT VICTIM
WAS NEPHEW

Reiterating his belief that the
body of the man found on the de-
sprt near Plaster City 10 days ago is
that of his nephew, L. +. Burnett of
Imperial this morning told Coroner
b. +. Lemon that he would telc-
graph authorities in Texas in an eff
fort to speed up positive identifi-
cation. Burnett also expressed him
self as believing that his nephew,
John Burnett Clark, had undouhted-
ly met with foul play.
The condition of the body when
found, however, was such that it
showed no signs that could be at
tributed to foul play.
The features of the face show
clearly and Burnett after looking
at it for some time this morning
declared that he was sure it was
Clark. The description of Clark
talics with the theorizcd descrip-
tion of the corpse.
1t is known. too, that Clark was
here early last winter and that he
went to Plaster City in an effort
to obtain employment.
Burnett told the coroner that he
had met Clark in FL Centre at that
time, and that Clark told him he
had been working in Delano and
that he had come to the valley, be-
heving he would be able to secure
work here. lie said that he was on
his way to Plaster City and told
Burnett that he would visit him in
few days. Clark did not return.
Clark 5 parents conduct Il ranch
or farm in Gonzales County, Texas,
and an effort will be made to find
out whether they have heard any
thing from him. While Clark was
not living at home he was in the
habit of writing to his parents
weekly, the uncle declared, and he
believes that Il quick check can be
made in this way to determine
whether or not the body is that of
Clark.
The uncle said that when Clark
was seen here he was in company
with two other men. They had an
automobile and he intimated that if
the body is that of Clark, the twa
men might be able to throw some
ligth on his death.
