Famous Mistakes That Brought Good

the argument which his sons, Titus,
Aruns and Sextus, had with their

While Lucius, the Proud, besieged

night In his tent. He and his brothers
and cousin began to dispute as to which
one had the worthiest wife.
Tarquin finally brought matters to a
focus.

see what our wives are doing. Then we
can decide which Is worthiest."
The princes, who had been consuming
considerable quantities of wine, agreed
at once to this proposal. So OF they

It turned out that the wife of Titus

these gentlemen saw Confederate SOL

Ellis Hughes was arrested here To-

reported to have shown the location
of Union forces from Alexandria, Va,

The years between 30 and IS are
usually the most eventful, so far rs O
possible career is concerned This Is
so because then 1t Is that the average
person makes up his mind about him.
self and his place in the social order.
Things that have till then shown them
selves as trends turn out to be decisions
often premature decisions.
Most students emphasize the love life
of this period. But it is merely a symp-
tom Of physical and mental maturing.
The mind of any man or woman Is Q
succession of maturings, first along one
line, then along another. Maturing is
punched in the 20 to IS year period.
There Is more of 1t going on then than
in any other five-year period.
At Fl Sebastian Cabot began his ex-
plorations. At 81 Pitt made a famous
speech in Parliament. At % Newton
discovered the method of infinite series.
At 20 George Washington fought his
first battle AT % Charles Darwin be-
gan his famous Beagle voyage. At %

brandt painted THE Anatomist."
What Is true of the truly great men
will hold for those who remain in the
humble walks Of life. Great men are.
from psychological point of view, only
average men writ large. If you can
find out what the man from 20 to as
Is planning to do, what the essence of
his plan Is, you can predict what he
may do later on. If you should desire
to write the biography of any person,
great or humble, study the 20 to as
year period. It's the turning point in
the lives Of most men and women, 80

cerned. No mental test given before
this period can estimate the mental
acumen Of q person, because the pos

MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, June 25.-out

0nly the unusual comes in for notice.

little gown of white nat crepe with q
hip-length jacket Of cherry and white
print chiffon hollywood, which well
knows Mary could drape herself with
diamonds from head TO heel II she
chose, dropped its jaw and allowed q
look of wonderment TO show In its eye.
Mary Pickford wore not even so much

q frock that any Hollywood high school
girl could have bought with q moderate
income.
Hollywood revues are primarily made
tOsconyine US that all movie actors and
actresses can sing, dance. emote and
otherwise glorify the talkies.
And to certain extent Hollywood
movies put it over. If Conrad Nagel Is
no rival to John Charles Thomas, he
gets away with q song and plays q few
chords on the piano in genteel accom-
paniment. What bis voice can't COM
pass In the way Of color and range
Conrad make his hands do for him,

Of the shoulder-to-wrist system Of

In the same way Joan Crawford puts
O song over as wen as most of our stage
dancers. And when she begins to dance
you realize that entertainment has
slipped directly into her groove.
For some time past all our vaude-
Williams have been giving the audience
. full bag Of tricks, and the audience
has had to watch them willy-nilly. Our
acxobats have sung arias from opera
before jumping into their handsprings.
Our high-divers have done o little tap
dancing before getting into the tank
where they belonged.

BRIDGE TALKS
BY MRS. JOHN MuNcE. IN.

The next bids to be discussed are the
following bids of second hand after
dealer bids one no trump. II second
hand holds q solid suit with SUFFICIENT
side strength to probably go game, with
the normal expectancy from his part
ner, then he should bid two of that
suit. If holding q solid suit and no side
strength, he should pass. Experience
has shown that you lose ten times to
one you win, in bidding suit second
hand without side strength, over no
trump.
with a trick over the requirements
for an initial no trump, second mana
should double.
A good rule to follow is this: If your
hand with the two expected tricks from
YOUR partner is strong enough to go
game, then bid two of your own suit.
This question of bidding or passing
solid suit after a no trump is not as
generally understood as 1t should be,
and the following examples are worthy
of your close attention.
The score is love all, dealer bios one
no trump, and second hand holds the
following:
spades-Ace, king, queen, 7-spot' e-spot
Hesrts@King and 2-spot.
Ciubs-Jack, 7-spot and 4-spot.
What should he bid? While he has a
long solid suit he could not hope TO go
game, even If his partner gave him the
two tricks expected, so he would pass:
Now with an adverse score, he would
bid two spades unhesitatingly, as a
defensive bid.
and the score is love all. Dealer bids
one no trump, and second hand holds
the following cards:
spades-Ace, kins, queen, 7-spot, b-spot
and 3-spot.
Iearts.Ace:; queen: ~ s.no,
Clubs-T-spot, 5-spot and 5-spot.
With this holding two spades should
he bid. as the strength of the hand Is
in a major suit, and it only takes four
tricks in this suit to go game.
The score Is love all, or nothing TOT
either side, dealer bids one no trump:
and the following Is held by second
hand:
Spades-Jack and 7-spot.
piamonds@Hce. queen and 2-spot.
Ciubs-Ace, king. queen, s-spot, 6-spot and
4-spot.
What should be bid? AS the strength
of this hand is in a minor suit, there
obvious that dealer is weak In the minor
suits, and either his partner or he him.
self will change the bid to a major
suit in which this hand has no strength
or defeAse. with an adverse score and
holding this hand you would bid two
clubs.
The score Is love all, dealer has bid
one no trump, and second hand holds
the following cards:
Spades-7-spot.
Diamonds-Acs, Queen and 1-spot,
Clubs-Ace, King, Queen, 10-spot, b-spot
and 6-spot.
What should second hand bid?
Looking at this carefully, YOU viii see
that the hand contains four honors
in the club suit, high cards in diamonds
and hearts and singleton In spades.
The bid therefore Is three clubs.
The score Is love all, dealer bids one
no trump, and the following cards are
held by second hand:
Spades-8-spot.
Hearts-7-sppt and 5-spot.
Diamonds-King, Queen, Jack, o-spot, D.
Ciubs-Ace. Queen, 5-spot and 3-spot.
What should be bid with this hold
ing? While the hand contains q
strong suit. IL is minor suit, and with
a love score 1t is always better bridge
to pass. However, with an adverse
score, you would bid two diamonds.

God Himself is become man. In that
night a child was born in whose tiny
body dwelt call the fullness of the
Godhead bodily" The Almighty and
Infinite is become an infant. The
eternal One who alone inscribes the
names of them that shall be into the
book of the living and when the
hour-glass Of their time has run
down blots them out again, did in
that night insert His own name in the
role of mortals. In that night the
Immaculate, before whom the heav-
ems are not clean, took upon Himself
the form of sinful flesh, and now we
sinful mortals are called His brothers
and sisters. In that night He was
born who took upon His shoulders all
the sins of all men and found
out a fount of Righteousness rich
to justify the world before God and
the Father.
o an important night, blessed
night, a holy night without equal!
The company Of the elect together
with all the hosts of the heavens, the
Cherbums and Seraphim, the thrones
and dominions, the principalities and
powers from eternity to eternity shall
sing of the deed done in that night
and shall not sufficiently praise it.

pleasing unto Him; for He has come
