ARTICLE No. "a

Imagination certainly comes in at
Auction Bridge. But it must be Gull
tivated, curbed and restrained, tenn
pered by knowledge, reason, and de-
duction.
The brilliant player uses his magma
ton. He forms swift mental pictures of
the cards he cannot see. He visualizes
them. Coupled with intuition, which is
often an accompaniment of the imagi-
native faculty, amazing results are
produced. 1t is almost as if the player,
in some uncanny fashion, can see
through the backs of the cards.
There are many excellent players
who will never be quite hrst-class be-
cause they are devoid of Imagination
They make few mistakes. But they
plod on where the card genius SCARS.
They play by rule of thumb, but they
are never inspired" In fact they
frequently rather resent the idea that
there is more in Auction Bridge than
skill and knowledge = psychic quail
ity which cannot be explained exactly.
Failure in imagination is a fault
of most weak players. They cannot
IMAGINE that their partners are
silent because they like the opponents
call, and they blunder into some silly
bid of their own instead of leaving we'll
alone. They cannot IMAGINE that a

Human Body the Basis
of Early Measurements

Early measurements were derived
from different parts of the human
body. Thus we find a fathom-ap-
proximately the distance between the
hands of man standing with arms
outstretched at right angles with his
body A eubit was the length of the
forearm, and the ell the distance be-
tween the ends of the thumb and lit
tie finger when outstretehed, the palm
the width of the hand, the digit the
breadth of the finger. The Roman foot
was subdivided into four palms, and
the palm into four digits. The division
into inches or uneia, a twelfth part
applied not only to the foot but to
anything. For longer measures there
was still less system. One finds the
Hebrews half-day's journey; the Chi
nese lih, the distance a mans voice
can be heard upon an open plain; the
Greek stadium, derived from the
length of the race course; the Roman
pace of five feet the furlong, the
length of a ,furrow. The mile passus,
a thousand PAGES, is the origin of the
modern mile. In 1874 the inch is de-
fined in English law as the length of
three barley eorns, round and dry"

Oddities of Etiquette

Etiquette in Scandinavia is a thing
to be dreaded, especially in Sweden.
Even the former should address per-
son by his full diplomatic, political,
professional or commercial title. Thus
one meets Mr.. the Assistant to the
Bank Manager Wirseen or Mr.. the
former Manufacturer of Blood Sausage
Olson. Denmark is far less formal,
both in speech and attire, but at the
end of the dinner party the hostess
will stand in the doorway and shake
hands with every guest while he MUIR
murs, "Thank you for the food" to
which she answers, Il hope it will
become you WELL"
