Of the budget, the Fairfax county
school board decided to recon-
mend an increase in pay for
teachers. This step has the ap-
proyal Of all familiar with the
local school situation. It has
long been difficult to secure com
petent teachers and almost Inn
possible to retain them In the
face Of attractive offers from.
localities paying much better sal
aries.
The recommended increase,
while only 50 a month for each
year of service up to five years.
is held to be start In the right
direction. Provision was also
made for a proposed increase in
salaries of high school principals.
The board decided to enlarge
the Fairfax school by q two-room
addition to cost about $4,000. It
also recommended that schools
for colored children be built at
Oak Grove and at Cub Run to
cost about So, 500 each.

World Flood

The ancient tradition common
among all primitive peoples of a
worldwide food is cow thought by
scientists to have been sound. The
cause Of the oceans rise may have
been the melting of the ice cap at the
North pole nj the end of the last Ice
aye. which occurred about 200OO
years AGO. According to Sir Edge
worth David, famous Australian ge-
olOgist. the level on the entire ocean
would be raised about fifty feet IL the
whole Antarctic ice barrier melted.
Practically every seaport town would
then be under water.

Restless Eyes

Under normal cOnditiOnS-that is,
In quiet, familiar surroundings the
eyes remain at rest for few seconds,
But soon they resume their usual
movements, sometimes from one side
to another. sometimes up and down.
II Is believed by evolutioniSts that this
characteristic rest leSSneSS of the eye
is a throwback to primitive times
when mans ancestors had to be con,
stantiy on the watch for danger

Guard AGAINST Iceberes

The international ice patrol was or
ganized on an international basis as a
result of the international conference
for the safety of life at sea, in Lon
don, 1918. It resulted from uni
versal demand for a protection of
steamships against icebergs in the
North Atlantic area after the loss of
the Titanic, in April, 1912 The United
States was asked TO undertake the
management of this service, and
agreed to send two vessels to patrol
the danger area during iceberg season,
March l to July /. Each Of the con-
tracing parties consented to bear
share of the cost in proportion to Its
shipping tonnage.

an ace at no trump bid asks for

Z, however, was a clever player so
decided to deceive A, if possible. He
played the nine of spades so that A was
unable to determine where the trey OF
spades was. If B held it, rs queen must
fall, so A led the king of spades. On this
trick, B should have discarded the ten

Ricketts, Old Disease

Ricketts,, the disease of childhood
which deforms the bones, is thought
by modern science to be caused by
faulty nutrition and lack of sunlight.
Nevertheless, recent discoveries show
that the babies of primitive man, as
we'll as those Of the ancient dinosaurs
and other extinct creatures, suffered
as much from ricketts, as do young
children of today. Egyptian num-
mics and the bones OF early American
Indians, as we'll as the primitive re-
ligious paintings, disclose the prev
alence of the disease.-New York

Owe "Dailie." to War

The Civil war revolutionized the
habits of the people, writes Warren
f. Spalding in the Boston Transcript.
All their movements, mental and phys
ical, were quickened. Having had
the news of the war day by day, they
never returned to the old ways. The
daily newspaper was the child Of the
Civil war. People became accus-'
toned to having news every day. They
found that other things were interest.
Ing, and they must have the news
about everything every day; the daily
newspaper had become indispensable.

this over carefully and consider the
bidding, before reading further.
liz had held three hearts or more, it
is more than probable that he would
have passed VS. two-heart bid. The
fact that he has bid two no trumps
probably indicates that he has only
two hearts. 1t is unlikely that he has a
singleton for, if he had, he would proba-
bly, not have bid a no trump in the first
place. Good players always avoid no
trump bid if their hand contains void
