a Tie BRIDGE Forum i
PleasHr re.


Although the party's mikes away. the other
side Of town,
If she should be invited she will never turn
When she can join group at bridge. she'll do
She says there's nothing in this world shed
rather DO than play.
She finds tine game the incest thing to kindle
conversation;
Discussing neighbors, clothes and maids, she
beams with animation;
She doesn't care what cards she leads or how
her bids may measure,
Because she thinks it's smart to say, i only
play for pleasure"
q is Q fact beyond dispute that men IN
general take their bridge more seriously
than women. That is probably the chief
reason why they hold their own In spite
of the fact that most women play many
more hours-in the daytime as well as IN
the evening.
To many women the game is merely the
means of drawing group together anoro-
ing an opportunity for conversation about the
myriad topics in which they are interested.
If there has ever been q solitary case OF men
getting together at bridge for such purpose
to match millions of instances In which
women do 1t, no man has yet come FORWARD
to point 1t out
When a man plays bridge-or any game
he usually tries to play the best he can. He
gets his pleasure out of the competitive idea,
irving to do better than the other fellow, and
because of that effort receives special sort
of thrill True, he enjoys good conversation
along with his game at times, but does not
let it cause him to cease caring about giving
an earnest effort to the game.
Perhaps it is 1.-The nature of the beast" AS
a rule, when he was very small boy ne
would bristle up If some one suggested tnat
the small boy next door could whip him In
fight. The lads might be very good friends,
and there might never be a fight. but each
of them liked to cherish the Illusion that ne
could give a good account of himself called
upon That competitive spirit would mani
fest itself later in the many forms OF frendly
games in which the boy would engage, striving
always to Guido his rivals
Little girls seldom had the same compeu-
tive idea Instead Of dealing In comparatives,
they dealt in positives. When little girls be-
came bigger and grew into homemakers, their
purpose was to make as nice a home as they
could-a positive thought The bigger boy
now was out IN the world engaged almost
constantly in some form Of professional or
business competition. When the two came
together then at the bridge table they carried
the same psychology with them.
There are exceptions. Of eourse-brilliane
excsptions-but In the main men will con-
cede women the right to be the only ones VINO
ever say: IT only play for pleasure"

Metal Mining in the East

THE gold mining in the East was not so much
to brag about last year, yet the total for
gold, silver copper, lead and zinc was fairly
large considering there were but a mines In
operation. The gold dug was valued at SO. 600.
the silver at $4,000, copper at s5, 100000. lead.
$sss,ooo, and the zinc at $ls,0oo,ooo.

Continued from Fourteenth Page

the most difacult tasks associated with the
construction Of the modern steamboat nAodel
was the production Of the 1I-step stairway,
which leads from the companion deck to the
bridge. This delicate work, which almost in
volved the use Of q microscope. was consum-
mated after tedious handicraft. It was almost
as intricate to make the realistic railing for
the bridge. 1t consists of annealed brass wire
crimped to the desired shape with q forming
punch. The rail Is constructed with four nori-
Eontal wires and perpendicular posts, the latter
being soldered securely to the upper deck.
One Of the spectacular features of this model
in action Is the steam which posrs from the
stacks as simulated smoke. The arrangement
is such that the released steam from the boiler
Is shunted into these stacks. The stacks as
well as the skylights on the bridge are made Of
ordinary roofing tin. The 32-inch 3-bladed
screw Is made Of brass. being joined to the
actuating power plant by means Of o connecting
shaft.
Mr.. Swanteson's original intention was to run
the model ocean liner by remote radio control.
That, Of course, would have added baffiing
mysticism to the operation of the midget craft
so that superstitious folks might even have be-
ieved it was functioned by witchcraft. The
outstanding drawback, which led to the aban-
donment of the radio control idea, was the
fact that the electric batteries required in such
set-up were too heavy to be carried success
fully aboard the model.
AS Is, however, the cAreIul observer noCeS
copper wires stretched between the naasts Ia
imitation Of radio antennae The ship Is also
equipped with pair of hlliputian anchors, one
Of which Is strapped to the deck while the
other L. used IN mooring the model In shallow
water, near the border Of the pool, after she
has completed another session of cruising This
leaden anchor is equipped with lines and
tackle" similar to those found on a regulation
marine device for such USE
THE accuracy and realistic appearance Of
the steamboat model, which runs under Its
own power are augmented by the crows nest
perched high up ON the main mast, the booms
for hosting the cargo aboard, the deck matches
which give access to the hold, the ships bell,
the capstan and bits, the cargo winches, hfe
belts on the bridge and other nautical fittings,
Pigments and fixtures are in ship-shape posi-
taons. All these props" have been provided to
increase the true-to-lfeness Of the model with
out the use Of sham, artifice or subterfuge.
What you zee, IN all cases. Is q boiled down"
edition Of what you would observe II you were
inspecting the actual Mauritania instead Of
her abbreviated likeness.

He twirled splendid ball, scatter
ing nine Buff singles. but when he
really needed support. his mates
cracked and the winning runs
trickled across the plate. MANY
times the Baker boys had a chance
TO forge ahead but timely blows
were missing. In the ninth inning,
after two were out Fritz plastered
a triple 70 center. Holley walked
and stole second and the. stag vas

HERE'S WHY


When Mr.. Average Baseball Fan

Grove and Earnshaw and wonders
how a team can compile such =
great record with only two huriers.
Ii is true that Grove hasn't lost a
game since June . and has piled
mp ten straight victories and that
Earnshaw IN working just about as
frequently. but Mr.. Fans figures

This one was sent to Detroit, and begins BY
playing up the hardships suffered by workers
who are losing their life's savings in banks From
this basis. the provocateur develops the general
bright idea that the rich must be killed Off.
ana then he gets down to business: How shall
the killings be Accomplishment"
And from this on he blossoms forth with sue
gestions. of "a fatal blow here and another there"
which he says will soon bring the oppressors
to a point where they will voluntarily ease their
expressions" Which is horse radsh
No one can blame workers who have lost their

sore enough to do anything. But that don't
mean that they should do what this provoca-
teur suggests, any more than they should do

The Social Revoiutionaries did NOT overthrow

tactics the capitalists can beat the working class
at that most any time.
The Spanish anarchists tried that tactic in
Barcelona in 1919-29, and got the worst of It.
But mass action overthrew the Spanish mon
