may open the bidding when hold ing two quick tricks. A bid of one simply shows partner that you have a fair hand.
 Partner should not support your one of suit bid unless he has at least two quick tricks and normal trump support. Remember, there is no need to keep one bids open unless you have some real trick strength. One bids are simply made to show minimum holding, are helpful towards partial scores, and will guide partner in his bid ding and doubles.
 A two of suit bid shows from three to five quick tricks and IS NOT demand bid-in other words it does NOT require partner to keep the bidding open. A mini- mum two bid under this system IS q six-card suit headed by ace king, and side quick trick.
 Your two bid advises partner that you have very good hand although not d hand strong enough to force-and you want him to support your two bid if he holds one quick trick and normal trump support.
 Under this system the following table of quick tricks should be used
 Acc, king queen of same suit
 -2H quick tricks Acc, king of same suit
 - quick tricks Ace, queen, jack of same suit
 - quick tricks Ace, queen, of same suit
 -1% quick tricks King, queen, jack of samc suit
 -1H quick tricks Ace of same suit II quick trick King, queen of same suit
 --1 quick trick King, of same suit H quick trick Normal support under this sys- tenn means at least three small of partners suit, or ace or king and one small.
 Original bids of two no trump are not forcing bids and show about the same strength as an orig inaI two of suit bid. Original bids of three, under this system, are demand bids and in- form partner that your hand is so powerful that you desire him to keep the bidding open until a game declaration has been arrived at.

DOWN TO THE OCEAN BOTTOM

Down, down, down. toward the bottom of the deep blue sea!
 off the coast of the Bermuda isl- ands, in a steel ball weighing two tons. two men made daring trip in the spring of 1880. They were William Beebe, the famed scient- ist, and a companion named Bar ton.
 If the ball had been made Of nothing but steel, the adventurers would have been unable to see anything on their way down; but there was a small window, six inches wide, through which they could look at the region through which they passed. The window was not made of glass-it was of transparent quartz. Glass would have broken under severe pressure.
 At a depth of 400 feet. they saw "bronZe" eels and lantern fish Next they caught sight of pilot fish and ink-shooting squids. Beebe and Barton continued their descent until they were 1,426 feet below the surface of the sea. They saw hatchet-fish. trigger fish, bonitos and baby eels. A tele- phone wire extended up the cable by which they had been lowered, and they were able to direct their journey until they were safely | lifted back to the surface. Describing other dips into the sea, which were not to such great depths, Beebe wrote:
 'T could distinctly sec various kinds of coral and fish,. l even saw an amazing exchange of courtesy one which I had observed many time when diving near shore. The giant parrOt-fish browse on hard coral as a horse tears on mouth fuls of grass.

 Neither Beebe nor any other man has gone down to the deepest parts of the ocean - where the water is more than five miles deep. By the use of nets and hooks, however, men have learned sOme- thing about the deeper parts of the sea. It appears that in every part of the ocean bottom, there is life of one kind or another. There are sponges and corals attached to the very deep parts, and there are fish of many sorts. Some fish are blind, but others have large eyes. Great numbers of deep sea fish are spotted with glowing lights.

Board Of Railroad Commissioners Of South Da-
kota protested, arguing lit Is impractical to
make carload shipments Of $4,000 pounds of
junk accumulated normally In this territory.
Junk collects slowly here. -
Besides, the Dakota junk dealers had to
compete with Kansas junk dealers and Arizona
junk dealers and junk dealers in other States,
who have q nice low minimum weight Of
$4,000 pounds-and that helped the fight along.
Just what did the junk in question consist
Of? Oh, the usual sort of junk-bones, broken
glass, horns, old cotton, old leather, old rope,
scrap iron and just plain scrap and waste
paper. Nothing said about old razor blades.
Imagine $4,000 pounds of that-or even
10000!

ONE HUNDRED AND TWO years ago, young
~ Horatio Allen, pioneer railroader met rail-
roads problems by going adventurously to Eng
land to look at locomotives, coming back eager
and enthused with four Of them. and proving
their practically two months before the famous
Rainhin trials did the same thing in England.
Today the IL members of the I. c. c. are
toiling in the heat sticking at their desks
delving into decisions Sundays, holidays ana
late at night.
They are used to great problems, though,
these IL. Last year, amid thousands Of major
and minor decisions requiring $175,oOO worth
of printing and binding, they put out lengthy
and involved decisions in the Western trunk
line cases and the Eastern class rate investiga-
ton and also gave relief to farmers by lowering
agricultural rates in the Western grain rate
case
They carried on more than 80 Investigations
of great Importance, including the problem OF
consolidation of railroads into a few great syS-
TENS and the problem Of motor bus regulation.
Yet not all of their problems are grave and
solemn. There is much that is humorous many
obscure but welcome complaints and cases,
which, perhaps serious in themselves, become
ridiculous to disinterested observer.
For example: What is the value Of junk?
Enough to cause a three or four months bat
tie of railroads before the commission concern
ing the proper freight rates on shipments Of
junk.
THE particular junk under fire was that
] shipped from points in North and South
Dakota to Minnesota and Nebraska. The Da-
kotaS, primarily agricultural States, went on
record as not being awfully good collectors
Of junk-and> that was what the fight was
about. I

Gated series of changes In junk rates. The Of

carloads a year.
So. in spite of the Utopian pleas OF the pres
ident Of the little town, commercialism won and
the railroad withdrew its plea for abandonment.
Dust still rises from the road beside the glis,en-

These petitions for abandonment carry many
tales of cut-down forests in once virgin timber
