Go through the paragraph and try

Paragraph:
Perhaps you sometimes wonder why
times and customs chagne so rapidly.
In reality things do not change so
quikcly as we suppose. The trivial, arti-
ficqial mannerisms that we regard as
important do change, 1t is truce; but
the real fundamentals Of life nevere
change.
"This is a modern age" says the Ma
terialist
Eyes, answers the Philosopher, "but
the thoughts of the pastt prevail today
as they have always prevailed"
For the more one studies humanity,
the more one realizes that the over
whelming desires of life-love, health,
happiness and wisdom-are sought now
as they have been sought before. The
invention of material comforts, new
modes of Transportation and countless
other benefits do rise and fall, and tyhis
old world goes on as it has since cilivt-
Zation found its BEGINNING.

KEEPING MENTALLY FIT
By JOSEPH JAsTRow.

common intellect will. However, for
the great ma jority of us, the practical
problem is to see as far as we can by
the aid of what knowledge we can
acquire, and yet remember that the
wise use of that knowledge is the test
of intelligence. knowledge should not
be burden to be carried, but part of
the strength that carries. Intelligence
gives direction as well as strength, skill
counts as well as muscle.
The fact that it isn't easy to place
the boundary lines of intellect and in
telligence has given rise to the notion
of intuition as some rare power to catch
solutions on the wind. A more practical
view of intuition would make 1t just
that intelligent use of knowledge that
sees things in right relations and sepa-
rates the important from the unessen-
tial. Learned men are not always the
wiSest. Whether we know much or lit
tie, our common problem is to make
good use of what knowledge we have
and to seek knowledge intelligently. A
taste for knowledge is an intellectual
appetite well worth cuitivating, a we'll
digested knowledge makes for tntelli-
gence.
Intuition has often been associated
with the mental ways Of women, at
times inscrutable to men. The power
Of handling ideas is common to men
and women. though each may have
favored and favorite interests and
methods. The cause Of mental fitness
is served by both intellect and intel
ligence. A fair conclusion is that of an
American biologist who says, "Those
who wish to live at peace with the
world may take refuge in the formula
that the male is the more intellectual,
the female the more intelligent Of the
sexes"

BRIDGE TALKS
BIZ MRS. JOHN MUNCE. JR.

In the previous talks the discussions
have been on the first two parts of
auction bridge, the mechanics and the
bidding. and We will now take up the
third part--the play
The play begins when the bidding
has been completed, and the person on
the left of the declarer leads. The
question is: What particular card
should he lead?" as his object now is
to try and defeat the contract which
the declarer has undertaken. Expert
ence and study have developed cel-
tain definite conventions which are
in developing these is the continual
ton of the mirroring effect referred
to in the bidding. and by this enable
you and your partner to defeat the
contract by obtaining the maximum
humber of tricks in the two hands. The
play between the opponents of the de-
clarer naturally divides itself into two
parts, the original lead. which is prob
ably the most important in the whole
game, and the succeeding or following
leads.
The first lead is known as blind
lead, because 1t is played or made
before dummy is exposed. The Situa-
tons under which these original LEADS
are made, are, first, when it is against
no-trump bid, and, second, when
1t is made against suit bid.
We will first discuss the leads against
a no trump. The best way to fight
no-trump bid of your opponents is
to establish long suit. The object Of
the leader should be to establish his
own suit, or his partners, If his partner
has indicated one by his bid.
The first question is, What to lead
against no-trump declaration when
your partner had bid and the leader
has not bid?" + no-trump declarer
is likely to go game unless some suit
can be quickly established against him.
save game. 1t is a well known fact
that it is easier to establish q suit by
leading toward it than from it, there
fore, unless you are satisfied that your
suit is much stronger than that OF
your partner, or unless you are holding
a solid suit, it is wiser to lead the
suit bid by your partner. 1t should
always be the intention of the leader
to lead the suit in which the OPP
ponents appear to be weakest and this
is more than likely to be the suit bid
by your partner. There are certain
holdings which justify leading your
own suit once to give your partner
definite information, and then lead his
suit to him. For instance, if holding
the ace, king, jack and small one.
or the king, queen, jack and two small
ones of suit, you can. by leading the
king, tell your partner that you have
the ace or the queen of that suit, and
by the lead of the king from the
king, queen. Jack and two small ones
the declarer will generally let the king
win and the leader can then lead his
partners suit. In play of this kind
you indicate that you have strength
in one suit and your partner will help
you establish your suit at the first OPP
portunity, just as you should help eS-
tablish his suit at your first oppoI-
tunity.

ASKED FRIEND 10
PROPOSE FOE HIN

kha young WOIldu' -,
one day the eccentric young fellow
decided to move to a place more suited
to the pursuit of his art. He called
upon q friend to help him move his
treasures which consisted mainly OF
a trunk and a flock of paintings.
I'm afraid we haven't room for
them" suggested the friend, as he
drove up in his small car.
I'VE make ROOM" replied the artist.
''We put them all in the car, and I
will walk behind"
But you can't do that" said the
friend "You get in"
Picture after picture and bundles
were placed in the car until 1t looked
a. if they would be distributed along
the street before they reached their
destination. The friend got behind the
wheel and asked the artist to get in.
mo. no." he repeated. There is
not room. I will walk behind"
The car started, and the artist fol-
lowed on foot behind his pictures.
OF course, the car could not travel at
less than three miles an hour and soon
it was picking up speed. Looking back,
the driver saw his friend painting and
perspiring In a vain effort to keep up
with the machine. Finally the artist
shouted for his friend to stop, and by
some means crawled into the machine,
where he knelt on the seat and held
on to his treasures until they reached
his new home.
The landlady expected to meet a
dignified man with superb poise. In
stead, she saw a wildly excited person,
who rushed in with a trunk on his
back and insisted in carrying his pic
lures in himself.

Intellect and Intelligence

If you call a man an intellectual,
are you praising him or dRmning him?
Lowell called them "stern men with
empires in their brains" We are apt
to dismiss them as highbrows. When
you think about it seriously you know
that we wouldn't have the kind of a
world we live in and the benefits which
you and I share every day and hour,
knowledge is power, though not every
mind full of knowledge is q power
house.
Your gentle suspicion of the high
brow is directed toward the man who
tries to live on ideas alone. We can't
live by bread alone. though It is the
staff of life; nor by ideas alone, though
they form the substance Of the life OF
mind. Intelligence is intellect with an
edge; block of steel isn't tool,
though it has the markings Of f1ne one
in it. How to convert intellect into in
telligence is the problem, or is 1t to
get them to live congenially together?
Intellect we associate with studies, by
learning and absorbing knowledge for
its own sake and getting so absorbed in
the game Of ideas as to forget the big
ger game of reality out of which it
arose. You need not read far in the
story of the intellect to find the vast
records of learning that were wholly
without profit-in fact, led to error and
confusion. That doesn't mean that we
must always be bent on practical re-
suits What we call pure science must
always be cultivated. The reason why
we have x-rays isn't that some prac-
tical mind thought 1t would be fine
thing to see through the human body
and let the surgeon know the conditions
before operating, but because some SCI
entific mind was interested enough to
investigate what kind Of rays there
might be. That intellect used its pow
ers intelligently.
Intelligence we associate with COM
mon sense, but common sense viii not

We have been told of a weak and i'll
young fellow who was taken to hospi-
tai suffering from an almost incurable
disease. He was scarcely able to feed
himself One night flames burst from
one of the floors, and soon the structure
was enveloped. The young invalid,
who until that moment had been I'M
able to move without help, sprang from
his bed and began to lift fellow sufferers
from their cots and carry them to
safety. Those who witnessed the action
were amazed at his almost super human
strength. How many he saved by his
heroiSm is unknown. He himself was
removed safely.
After the fire. he again took to his
bed, where it became necessary to help
him to help himself. He died a few
