Long List of Beliefs
Based on Superstition

A woman recently died because
her superstition would not allow
her to call in a doctor on Friday.
Saturday was too late. That su"
perstition is still rife, is to some
extent proven by the fact that hum
dreds Of thousands of people still
consider that it is unlucky to walk
under ladders. That it is unlucky
to spill salt. That three candles
on table bring bad luck. That
crossed knives spell unhappiness.
That to cut ones nails ON Friday
is to court disaster. That the new
moon seen through glass is an evil
portent. That to: open an umbrella
in the house means misfortune.
Similarly. how many Londoners do
not believe that 1t is lucky for a
black cat to cross ones path, or
that to fall upstairs spells a we'd
ding, There are probably several
million people In England today
who exclaim "TOuch wood" on the
slightest provocation. In the coun.
try villages of England the inhab-
itants firmly believe that to see q
white horse means the presence In
the vicinity of a red-headed girl.
while a cross-eyed villager is still
an object of suspicion to be COM
bated by crossed fingers and a
whispered incarnation. Sailors and
Irishmen are unanimously awarded
pride of place among believers In
superstitions, nevertheless the Lon

least one ace; but the question is,
which ace is it most likely to be? 1t
certainly isn't the trump ace for Y and
L must, one or the other, have this
card to justify their bid. If they haven't,
the contract is defeated; so why bother3
The real question then is, which Of
the remaining three aces does B hold1
In bidding for IS tricks Y and I an
nounced very clearly ly that they have
all of the hearts and long set-up suit.
OF their short suits, they should be
either void suits or singletons - aces
or otherwise. In other words, their los
ing tricks, if they have any, must be
in their short suits. For that reason, the
singleton club should not be led for the
club suit is probably their lono t.lp
suit.
This elimination reduces the ques-
tion to a choice between diamonds and
spades, and the fact that the spade
suit is the longer should decide the
question in favor Of spade lead. AS
spade length makes it almost certain
that either Y or L, or perhaps both, is
short Of that suit and taking 4 chance
that the partner has the ace. With any
suit of two or more, either Y Or L must
have the ace. For those very good
reasons the proper lead with the lore
going hand is the seven of spades. AS
matter of fact, the spade lead saved
contract and was made by a player
who afterwards gave his reason for Che
lead somewhat as above. 1t is a good
hand and should give Auction and Con
tract players alike some good ideas as
toproper leads and the reasons for them.

five spades and Y and B passed. z
bid six hearts, A doubled and all
passed. What is AS proper opening

the bidding and then decide what to do.
rs opening bid of four hearts and
his subsequent rebids of five and six
show that he has a freak hand, one
that is probably void of at least one
suit. Question, what is that suit? 1t
may be spades, diamonds or clubs.
The fact that B has bid four spades
and that A has tour should indicate
that either z or Y is very liable to be
void of the suit. For that reason spades
should not be led. If diamonds are rs
void suit, a diamond lead would be all
right as it would enable A to lead
through the diamond strength in Y's
Nogales international., 1929-11-12

1t should be evident that any lead
that A may make, except the trump
lead, will enable Z to make a little
slam. If A leads trumps, Z must lose
two spade tricks and one diamond
trick. Any other lead will enable Z to
trump a spade in Y's hand and thus be
able to fnesse the diamond. 1t is a
pretty hand and the analysis is we'll
worthy of closest study.

| There is nothing more harmful
than unfavorable publicity and in
the past two years the National
Society, Daughters of the Ameri-
can Revolution, has been the vic
tim of severe criticism, much of
which has been extremely unfair.
In talking with the avarage citi-
zen it is soon discovered that the
only thing he knows about this or
! ganization is the fact that it talks
of Revolutionary heroes, and that
there was so-called "black list"
about which he knows nothing, yet
openly condemns. .......
D. A. r. progress has been due
largely to number of committees
working quietly and accon- fishing
much. The majority of these COM
mittees are never heard of other
than at D. A. r. meetings. It
seems that it is about time for the
d. A. r. to educate the general
public as to just what it does and
how it accomplishes many worth
while objectives.
| Americanism is huge task
when the vast numbers of forsign
born residents of this country are
taken into consideration. A COM
/ mittee under this name works con-
stantly at Ellis Island in New
York, Angel Island in SanFrancis-
co, CAL, and at the Seattle, Wash,
(, immigration stations.
A committee on conservation
and thrift co-operates with the
government in the prevention of
wastes-of national resources-re-
forestation, encouragement of the

there are ways of knowing the

This branch of the D. A. r. work
takes care OF this problem and
prevents abuse Of the flag, as for
advertising purposes and disrespect.
Too, it teaches the proper rever-

Snow Hides Shack.
Our party had left for Cambridge
Bay. and the Eskimos remaining behind
apparently had all gone into their ig-
Ioos. The old shack built by the
stranded party had become covered
with snow and was indistinguishable
from the air.
Before leaving arrangements were
made with the ESkimos that the wings
of the abandoned planes would be kept
clear of snow. Mr.. Blanchet said that
visibility was not particularly good at
the time he few over. But those in
the planes naturally are keenly disap-
pointed over having failed to spot the
machines, feeling that they could have
found the messages left in the planes,
followed the dog-sled route and saved
those travelling on foot much of the
hardship they were forced to put up
with.
The second trip OF the rescue planes,
on November 3, was the last planned
for the general area between the Ellice
River and Bathurst Inlet It was
planned to use the last gas at Burn
side, where the rescue planes were sta
toned, in search Of the south coast
of Victoria Island. In the meantime,
after our party had reached Cambridge
Bay and before word could reach those
carrying on the aerial search, a start
had been made by the rescuers over the
Arctic coast westward to the Copper
Mine River.
The first of these trips, on November
4, was stopped by low mist at Cape

And what a splendid welcome we got!
The HudSon's Bay men, headed by the

for water. Some one passed me the
whisky, and passed out for five min

have eaten too much. But what pota-

cheese! AS some one said afterward,
1t was worth getting sick.
Don was hastily filled up. His foot

TINE PEOPLE who bought fifty million
l. pairs of International Shoes this year
saved lot of money. They saved it not
just because they paid less for their shoes,
but because their dollars bought better

otherwise get for the same money.
There is no mystery about why this is
true. tits true because International has
undertaken to eliminate from the price
