When a border is used in a quilting
pattern it is important to turn the
corners as gracefully and squarely as
possible. In order to simplify this work
in the trailing vine quilting design given
piece is shown today and how to use it..
The vine can be heightened to suit the
requirements of any length quilt or to
conform to the space necessities OF
whatever article the quilting is done on.
The pattern placement should be 50
regulated that corners can be turned
as shown in the illustration. 1t may
be that an extra leaf or two may be
needed in some instances. To make
them, trace a repeat of such length OF
the design as is needed to mt into the
space requirements. Great care must be
exercised to preserve the curved con-
tour as it exists. This is the sole pre-
caution to note.
The cornerpiece can be traced from
the illustration. It has been made to
scale with the design previously given,
and therefore will fit exactly. The let
tiers "R," indicating right side; wv"
wrong side, and &C." cornerpiece, show
plainly how the cornerpiece is inserted
to connect the design portions. You will
note in the pattern shown last week
the the section pictured was used alter
nately right side up and wrong side
over. Each side forms half the curve,
which together complete it as seen also
in the illustration of today.
The vine continues to keep all leaves
following the same direction around
quilt. The cornerpiece fits between the

Alexander Pope was considerably diff

The latter was lively soul who lived
TO the ripe age of 81. 1t is narrated
that two years before his death his son

the fathers dinner table with some
remark about the advantage of regular
habits. He had barely gotten out of
the room when Lord Bathurst spoke.

about Pope which shows the poet to

According to him, Pope entertained
some friends by having a pint of wine
served. After four glasses had been
consumed from the pint he retired to
bed with the parting remark. Gentle
men, I leave you to your wine"
It was Swift who bestowed upon Pope

The hands we are to have today are
interesting from the standpoint Of
bidding. all of them, as they are moi
unusual hands, but types of hands
which come to every player almost
every time he plays. and after all, play
ers are most interested in the hands
which come to them every day. dc
not mean that spectacular hands are
not interesting they are. but we get sc
few of them as compared to the types
of hands to be discussed today.

Spades-0ueen. 10, 9.
Hearts-.Ace. Jack, 4, 2.
Diamonds-Ace, king, queen, z, ,.
CliibS--Ace.
West, or second hand, holds:

East, or fourth hand, holds;
spades-Ace, 9, Z, 5, A.
Hearts,.
DiamondS-9, 5, 2
Clubs--Jack. 4, 8, 2.
We will first take up the auction
bidding. South bids one no trump
having three suits safely stopped, ano
more than the minimum requirement In
high card count. This minimum is IL
for the dealer. counting the ace as 4
king as 3, queen as and jack as /. Fol
q long time many players questioned
the ACCESSIBILITY of bidding no trump
with hand containing singleton, but
the consensus of opinion now Is that a
no trump may be properly bid with {
singleton If that singleton be an ace
Some authorities will even bid a nc
trump with singleton king now.
West has pretty hand. one that
looks stronger than it really is and
what is often called a "picture-book'
hand, and while this hand looks as II
the holder should be able to do some
thing with it, 1t is just one high card
short of being strong enough for an in
formatory double. It requires five high
cards likely to take tricks and strength
in three suits to double one inform
atorily, and while this hand has strength
in three suits, it has only four high
cards in it, Therefore West has to pass
North, with his partner bidding one
no trump, and no intervening bid, would
naturally say nothing.
East cannot bid, as the only five-card
suit in the hand, while it is headed by
an ace is too weak to bid with hand
containing no more high cards than
this hand holds. Therefore, after three
passes. South gets the declaration at one
no trump.
The contract bidding of these hands
would be a little different, due to the
fact that unless game is bid you can
not score game regardless of how many
tricks you take. TIL efore, dealer with
a count of 20 for high cards, and three
suits safely stopped, with better than a
worthless doubleton in the fourth suit
would open the bidding by saying two
no trump. West. Of course, would pass,
and North, dealers partner. with a
high card count of 6, which is the re-
quirement for the raise from two no
trumps to three, would bid three no
trumps. which is game bid
Next Tuesday the play of these hands
will be given in detail, which will be
just as interesting as the bidding.

A Sermon for Today
The Bright Side.
BY REV. JOHN II. GUM.


"Now men see not the bright light
which is in the clouds. Job. xxxvii.2l.
John Stuart Mill. in a famous state
ment, referred to the excrescences upon
the trees, to the blightS upon the fruits,
to the devaStations of storms, to the
prevalence of sickness and iii health.
Better than his gloomy outlook Is the
optimism expressed by Frank L. Stan
ton, the Georgia poet:
'"This old world we're living in
Is mighty hard to beat:
You get a thorn with every rose,
But amt the roses SWEET"
AS Sam Jones, the famous Georgia
evangelist, once said: There may be
larger worlds, and grander and better
worlds than this, but this Is a great
world. Its mountains are Gods
thoughts piled up; Its prairies Gods
thoughts spread out: its rivers Gods
thoughts In motion; its flowers Gods
thoughts in bloom; its harvests Gods
thoughts in bread; its dewdrops Gods
thoughts In pearls; and, wherever we
look about us, every object smiles back
upon us, and says, I am but the gift
Of a gracious Father to His children
This may not be the best possible
world, but 1t has been thousand times
better to me than ! have been to 1t.
It seems a shame. with all the good
things we have, that we should be for
ever complaining about good things we
do not have. We look too much at the
clouds and not enough at 1.-The bright
light which is In the clouds"
Watch the dog In your room and you
will see that. If there Is a bright spot
anywhere on the floor, he will go
straight to 1t and curl himself up in
it. But many humans do not have
the good sense to look for lifes bright
spots. Life would be happier for us
all II we would try more to see the
bright side of things.

Do You Smoke Too Much ?

In study of 300 patients with func-
tional stomach troubles DR.. Gray found
that 100 of them complained of heart
burn. Incidentally the 300 patients
were all smokers--that is why they were
chosen for this study.
Heartburn is not dependent on ex-
cessive acidity, DR.. Gray reminds us,
but upon the irritation of the sensi-
tive lining of the Csophagus by the
normally acid gastric juice. So it is
fair to conclude that the smoker who
suffers from heartburn isn't doing him
self or his digestion any good by taking
alkalis, even if the alkali does give tenn
porary relief by neutralizing the hydro
chlcric acid.
Patients who smoked on a fasting
stomach or between meals suffered most
from heartburn. Tobacco hogs take
notice.
Back in 1927 I mentioned here some
facts and observations that DIR. Gray
had made in a series of $50 cases in
which there was strong clinical evil
dence of duodenal ulcer. In 80 of
these cases the actual diagnoses were
as follows:
Tobacco smoking, IS cases.
Chronic gallbladder disease, with and
without stones, 13 cases.
Constitutional conditions, Is cases.
Chronic appendicitis, z cases.
Miscellaneous, postoperative adhe-
SionS. 8 cases,
AIucuous calitis, cases.
Hernia, case.
Another frequent complaint of these
tobacco users with stomach trouble is
what doctors now call pylorospasm--
spasmodic contraction of the muscle
ring at the lower outlet of the stomach.
This produces pain in epigastrium,
eructation of gas and late night pain
or hunger pain relieved by taking
alkaH or food. The pylorus may re-
main spasmodically contracted only a
few minutes or for several hours; 1t Il

recognizable by X-ray examination
But not every x-ray examiner has the
diagnostic knowledge to interpret the
X-ray evidence, and the tobacco user
with pylorospasm is out of luck If he
toddles straight to such specialist
for diagnosis.
DR.. Gray found that the amount of
tobacco used bore little relation to the
occurrence of heartburn or pylorospasm.
But generally the symptoms were re-
lieved in "a to 90 hours II the victim
stopped smoking; to return promptly
upon resumption of tobacco.
Special observation of the effect of
before breakfast smoking indicated that
this depraved practice may be de-
pended on to shoot the stomach acidity
and the secretion of gastric juice up
to 10 per cent above normal.

1t is an injustice, perhaps, to call
him at all times a tightwad. But he
was certainly economical in the extreme.
He had been brought up in house
hold of simple habits; moreover, he
knew that systematic economy meant
independence. He valued money In the
same sense that a man who has been
poor values it.
The result was that he was a hard
driver of bargains and his publishers
and collaborators did not relish the
tendency.
With one person he was always liberal
in the extreme. That was his mother,
whom he loved with tremendous devo-
ton which gives graciousness to char
acter so frequently disgruntled In other
relationships. Swift referred to him as
'the most dutiful son have ever known

Though it cost him time, trouble and
money, he gave Mrs. Pope the happiness
OF copying a good deal of the "Iliad"
for the printers. Her photography was
such that it necessitated many correc-
tions and changes. But her pleasure in
thinking that she helped him gave him
great joy.

BANDITS ACCEPT

5000 Pesos Gold Is Expect
ed to Release American
Held by MexicanS.
BY the Associated Press.


SAN ANGELO, Tex, April S.-The
San Angelo Times today said that an
emissary of Mexican bandits holding
j. e. Bristow, San Angelo oil and min
ing operator, had accepted 5000 pesos
gold ransom and that BriStowS release
was believed certain.
The money was said to have been
paid yesterday at Ahuacatlan, Navartt,
Mexico, with the understanding that
the amount was satisfactory to the re-
mainder of the kidnapers, in retreat in
the mountains south of Ahuacatlan.
Bristow. If plans are carried out, was
expected to be taken to Jala and re.
leased. He was to leave Jala for Topic
by rail tonight.
Various ransom demands have been
reported to have been made by the
kidnapers from time to time. Dis
patches from Mexico City yesterday
said the bandits had sought 10000 pesos
($20,O00).
Obie Bristow, former Oklahoma Uni-
verSity foot ball star and son of the
captured man, entered Mexico soon
after his fathers capture three weeks
ago in an effort to obtain the elder
BriStow'S release by the payment Of
ransom. It was believed his negotia-
lions have resulted in acceptance OF
the money. -.
Senator Thomas, Oklahoma Demo-
crat, today called upon the State De-
partment to urge aggressive action to
force the Mexican government to aid
in obtaining the oil mans release.
No indication of action was given
after he had conferred with Acting
Secretary Of State Cotton.
