You're YER level-hc lded, my

Hardly any children grumble
any more when a stormy day

indoors for a change. For
stormy days are red-letter days

better than ever!
So there's no. safer, surer
way of m: king a hit and a

for Christmas. There's lots
more good ones listed in our

If you havei It any ideas at
all as to what game to buy,
why not eliminate all guess

different ones with the board
illustrated above. at the left!
"Steeplechase." "The Railroad
Game. Yacht Races, Corner

others equally exciting. The
board is reversible--n arked

equipment for playing every

for about $3.50.

Interesting Bridge Hands
BY E. V. Shepard

An opening bid of 2-No
Trumps ~ not pre-emptive, nor
does it demand partners re-
sponse, but such a bid strongly
invites betterment of the dec.
laration by partner. Be careful
about assisting such a bid;
many players think that they
must support upon a single
definite trick, but this is incor =
rect. An opening bid of 2-No
Trulnps only announces six
probable tricks, with four
guard suits! it trusts partner
for two tricks, and 1t does not
invite support upon less than
plus two probable tricks.
When the opening bidder has
four guarded suits and can
count eight definite tricks, or
even eight probable tricks, he
had better bid 3-No Trumps, un'
less he has a hand urging a de-
mand bid in some suit. Usually,
however. the demand bid shows
one bad suit, or 3-No TrumpS
would be bid at once. AS a rule
a 4-3-3-3 suit dist ibution renders
an opening bid of 3-No Trumps
prefer lie to a suit demand; the
r. ter suggests not fewer than
two Sui -, each containing at
least four cards.

4~OS9OAs S'~S
A great newspaper editor
has asked me my definition
of humor. Why do men laugh?
He has been investigating the
production of comic strips and
cartoons and humorous COL
umns for the American people
with huge success for 20 years,
but for the life of him he
cannot formulate an eXplana-
ton either of humor or laugh
ter.
What humoY is we will leave
to the philosophers, but laugh
ter is the problem of the
physiologiSt.
And quite a problem it is.
Consider for moment. A
human being who has grave
responsibilities, the father of
a family, the head of a busi-
ness, a 'shrewd, practical, sane
man of affairs, of lignified de-
meanor, is one moment stand
ing or sitting with all his
features composed, his muscles
at rest. uttering no sound.
when he hears a sentence or
sees a picture.
Sudden Mirth
Suddenly he throws back his
head and emits a succession of
exploratory shouts which in.
crease in volume and loudness:
he moves his thorax rapidly
up and down; his face muscles
are contorted into spasms of a
most bizarre character; he
slaps his thigh over and over
again with his hand; tears
come to his eyes, and only
after several moments does
his body resume it's normal
attitude Of dignified repose.
These Contortions further.
re have given him great
CON- ort-even happiness; he is
not in the least ashamed of
the apparent exhibition he has
mado of himself. He would be
far more ashamed of having
been seen giving a beggar in
the street a coin.
A Lame Explanation
Why? tt PSYCHOLOGISTS ex-
pla 'ation is very lame. He
S, S that laughter is a reflex
contortion evoked by a power
full sensory and emotional
stimuli to the brain. It is, Of
course, usually associated with
10Y and triumph. But not al
ways, Laughter at the end Of
tragedy, at escape from
death, is recognized. The coal
miners entombed in a mine
for 20 days signalized their
rescue and appearance on the
surface of the earth by a
gr .stly explosion of laughter.
Usually though, it is the
shor' of happiness. Monkeys

ance Of a favorite keeper by n
convulsion of laughter. 1t is
not true, as Aristotle averred,
that laughter is better than
tear, because laughter is the
speciality Of man."

Beware of assisting an open
