Swedish Relics Extend
Far Back Into History

Swedish prehistoric relics are the
richest in the world, and this Is
because the same race has inhab-
tied the country for about 10000
years, says Professor Curman, state
antiquarian. The scientific muse
ums of Sweden contain more than
half million treasures of anti
quity. The structure of the land
scapes, with patches of fertile soil
lying among barren areas, thick
forests or craggy hills, has also
helped to preserve these materials
of ancient days. These natural OBJ
stacles have kept farmers from en-
croaching upon the sites where
prehistoric tOmbs, Notifications and
Viking rune stones have been hid
den. Moreover, the Swedish gov
ernment realized 800 years ago the
Importance of preserving relics OF
antiquity and enacted laws to that
end.

Divisions Of Travels +
Before cage Of. Speed"

In the middle of the last century
there were four kinds of tours into
which travelling at that time was
sometimes divided.
A "Tour de Force" was trip to
such places as Algiers, Botany Bay
or some other penal colony and was
usually made in handouts.
A "Tour de Gascon" was an I'M
aginary tour like the travels of
Baron Munchausen, and received.
it's name from the well-known in
ventive proclivities of the Gascons.
The third class was "The Tour
de Nesle," so called because every
thing was paid for on the spot, ION
the nail," a play on the English
word.
Last, but most important, was
"The Grand Tour" as it was some
times called. This was supposed
to be performed by every young
gentleman of good family before
he was considered fit to live at
home. It gave him an opportunity
to SOW his wild oats away from
the restraining influence Of home
and parents. When the bills came
in fathers usually flew into rage.
Hence the name.-New York Times.

trumps with the four of clubs. In either
case Y Z must therefore win three
tricks.
This end play is given to show the
necessity at times of trumping your
partners tricks in order to get into an
advantageous position yourself, or tc
place your partner in that position.
For example, suppose at trick two
both A and Y refused to trump the
ace of diamonds. In that case I can
lead trump or the deuce of hearts. II
the former, A B must win two trump
tricks no matter how Y plays. If z
leads the deuce of hearts, A should
discard and no matter which trump Y
plays, B can ovcr-trump and thus
enable A B to win two tricks. Note this
end play carefully for it is a tricky one.

Solution: L should lead the deuce of

In either case, B is forced in the lead,

~Erratic, but Spectacular

Avalanches are erratic, but spec

scientists. There is every gradua-

and earth. Glaciologists state that

queen of hearts and A is forced to
trump. As Y just overplayed AS trump
on the first trick, he can still do so no
matter what was played on the first
trick. AS a result Y must thus win
trick two and rs ace of spades must
win trick three. In this way Y Z must
win two of the three tricks. This end
play is given to show the importance of
throwing one opponent in the lead so
that he is forced to lead suit to his
disadvantage.
Other end plays will be given from
time to time, but the best way to profit
from these example hands is to be on
the lockout for opportunities in actual
play.

After night of cruising over north
western Florida, the naval dirigible
Los Angeles was located early today
- miles east of Apalachicola, ap-
parently headed for the mooring

in nearby st. Joseph Bay.
The giant ship had been prevented
from mooring last night after her
arrival over Florida by head winds
which she bucked ON the latter part
Of her journey down the South At

A radio message direct from the

her position as 81 miles east of
Apalachicola, or 81 miles east Of the

furnish hourly weather and wind

The message indicated that all was
