How to Play the Game
of up, Jenkins, Banker
By Edward Longstreth and Leonard T. HoI.on.

gV HE game Of Cup, jenkins, Banker" is especially appropriate for
parties of twenty or more. The entire crowd is divided into
IL two sides, each with q captain. These sides seat themselves
facing each other across the gaming table. A silver half dollar OF
quarter is produced. 1t is tossed and given to the captain winning
The toss. Then all that side put their hands under the tables edge
and pass, or pretend to pass, the coin from one to the other while
the members of the opposing team look on with crafty eagerness and
try to detect the progress Of the coin. Not q little taking IS done by
those who hold the coin, the defending side.
After a fair lapse Of time. the captain of the side which wants
TO get the coin in its possession. the aggressive side, calls out,
jenkins says, Hands upl" If he should, in any preliminary COM
mand, omit the words jenkins says" and anyone moves to obey,
that side Immediately forfeits the coin.
At the command Of hands up all players on the side with the
coin place their elbows on the table, all fists clenched, and the
knuckles toward their opponents. The coin is in one of these hands.
The Aggressor Captain then commands the method by which the
hands must be placed on the table.
Knowing that the coin is palmed in one Of the fists, all the
same time they cannot leave their seats at the opposite side Of the
table nor can they rise to their feet, or shift their point of vision. :
Jenkins says, Hands DOWN. comes the command.
The side with the coin, now watching their own captain try to
slam their hands down all at one time. With the hands flat on the
table each tries to look guilty Of having the coin, or notceably not
guilty, O as to confuse the opponents.
The aggressors are allowed to proceed in one of two ways. They
may spot the coin as being in one particular hand; or they may
order each hand lifted one by one with the object of leaving the
coin in the last hand left on the table. The excitement of this is
intense. In this part of the game, after the hands r down, the
phrase, jenkins says" is no longer used. But only the Aggressor
any other aggressive player is for his side to lose the coin. Only the
Captain can order a defender opponents hand raised, although he is
advised and urged by members of his own team who think they have
guessed the location Of the coin.
If the coin is successfully spotted" or is held in the last hand
left on the table, it must be surrendered. But if a mistake is made
in spottng, or if a hand is ordered up which conceals the coin, the
coin remains with the side that has it.

THIS young mother is trying to weigh herself and her baby on one
4 of those pennyin-theslot scales. She also has a small terrier
with her and every time she places her baby or herself on the scales
the dog insists on being weighed, too. The hand on the dial indicated
a combined weight of 165 pounds which greatly puzzled the young
mother. She told her husband about it and be helped her make the
computation.
"Well, said he, "seeing that the dog weighs one-fifth of the
babys weight and one-twenty-seventh of your weight, and that if
the baby had weighed ten per cent less and the dog ten per cent
more, and if you had not lost five pounds on account Of the great
heat, then the combined weight of all three of you would have been
1913 pounds. Now see if you can figure out your own weight, as well
as that of the baby and of the dog"
Can you help the young mother figure this out?

HUDSON ESSEX

IN AUSTRALIA

Although everything pertaining to
the United States arouses the keen
est interest in Australia, the aver
age American appears to be surpris7
ingly uniformed about the great
continent "down under", in the opin-
ion of X. j. Durance, manager of
the Australian office of the Hudson
Motor Car Company at Sydney, who
is now visiting the Hudson Essex
factory at Detroit.
"American unfamiliarity wit h
Australia is particularly surprising"
says Durance, "when one considers
that since the very beginning of its
national development the Common
wealth has patterned itself after
The United States and many phases
of its phenomenal progress during
the past. half century may be attrib.
Gted to the influence of borrowed
American ideas.
"Sydney, the largest Australian,
city, with its population of 100000.
its subways, its harbor bridge which,
when completed, will be the largest
single span bridge in the world, is
tvpically American in many respects.
Even the plan of the new capital,
Ganberra, was laid out along lines
practically identical with that of
Washington, ID. G.
american enterprise is probably
welcomed more heartily in the Anti
podes than in any other part of the
world, and the volume of Australian
imports from this country has
steadily year after year .un-
til II now amounts TO tremendous
figure.
"Practically 80 percent of Aus
tralia's automobiles are of American
manufacture. Although the popula-
tion of Australia is only $500, 600,
its area is greater than that of the
United States. 1t is country of
great distances and the typical low
powered European ear is not suited
10 Australian requirements. Tn.
road building program which is now
we'll under way will double the pres.
ent mileage of hard surfaced roads
within the next 10 years and will
certainly bring about a tremendous
increase in the demand for motor
cars.
