VIII Tell Ii You
Are Wet Or Dry

CHICAGO, Mar. 6 U.P)-A psy-
geological test of an indiviluals
instructive feeling toward prohibi-
ton has been inaugurated by the
international Council of Religious
Education as new method OF
teaching temperance in Sunday
schools.
The instructive feeling toward
prohibition is tested by crossing out
as rapidly as possible the words
which the youth finds disagreeable
in the following list:
Anti-saloon League, bootlegger
beer, alcoholism, law enforcement
saloon, Canadian plan, paddock
wine, cocktail, temperance, hootch
propaganda, prosperity, beer stein
Capone, coast guard, home brew
pledge signing, racketeer, Volstead
local option, w. C. T. u, Jones law
rum runner, machine gun, persona
liberty Hoover commission, law
observance.
The word test should be followed
says the Council by rapidly indicat-
ing the truth or falsity of the fol-
lowing statements:
Alcohol is a poison.
> A cocktail or a glass of cham
pagne promotes sociabilty.
Alcohol is a stimulant.
Bootleg liquor is dangerous.
Drinking is not a sin but alco-
.folism is a disease.
I Alcohol increases happiness.
/ All moderate drinkers tend to be-
come heavy drinkers.
Alcohol is narcotic.
The new method, according te
it's sponsors, will be used in AZ de-
nominations, representing 85 pei
cent of the Protestant church mem
bership of the country.

There was vision in her uplifted

AN OLD MANS SONG
Bv Richard LIE GollieMe

Ye are young, ye are young.
lam old, l am old;
And the song has been sung
And the story been told.
Your locks are as brown
AS THE mavis in May,
Your hearts are as warm
AS the sunshine to-day
But mine white and cold
AS the snow on the braa
And Love, like a flower,
Is growing for you,
Hands clasping, lips meetin&
Hearts beating so true:
While Fame like star
I'm the midnight afar
Ks flashing for YOU
For ,you the To-con1e,
But for me the Gone-bys
You are painting to live,
4 am waiting to die;
The meadow is empty,
No flower .groweth high
Ard n1aug4rt but socket
The faoe of the sky.
Yea, hoaso we dream,
Or how bravely we do;
Tse end rs the same,
Be we Traitor or true:
And after the bloOm
And the passion is past
Death so0meth at last.

my approach forcing system and their
application in actual play. =,
The reason this system OF contract
bidding is sometimes called the one
Overcome system Is that its basic prinl-
, ciple is approaching with low suit bids.
The corner stone OF the system Is TO
approach, not drive.
System Feature.
cepted feature of the system that when
partner responds to suit bid of one.
With bid Of one in a higher ranking
suit, the opening bidder should give the
responding hand further opportu-
nifty to declare, either by bid of one
no trump, which is regarded as min
imum response, or by the bid of another
blddable suit. If the hand contains 1t,
or rebid Of the suit first named, If
that suit is Of rebid strength.
This Is essentially the principle of
approaching the best final declaration
in the combined hands by the exchange
OF information with the bidding kept
AS low as possible. Using the approach
forcing system Of bidding, about 95 per
cent Of all hands, regardless of the final
declaration, are opened with bids of
one This Is based upon the fact that
OF one. then the prospect of game in
the hand is remote indeed.
Official System Contrast.
Contrasted with the approach princi-
Piles OF the ,Culb2rtSon system are the
principles OF the official system, played
by Mr.. Lenz and Mr.. Jacoby in their
bridge tournament of $50 rubbers with
me and my partners. In the official
system a suit or no trump bid of one
shows hand of minimum strength
1t may be OF as little as two tricks. The
game invitation bid of two shows a
hand in which the prospects of game
are bright, If partner has some little
strength, while the game demand bid
OF three shows hand upon which part
ner requires little more than a fervent
hope in order to assure the making of
a game.
OF course, these principles are in di-
rect conflict with those upon which the
approach forcing system is based and
the suggestion made by one of the pro-
tagonists OF the official system that he
would incorporate the one-oyer-one
system in the official system is practi-
/, caly tantamount to saying that he will
+ equip tandem bicycle with a high
powered engine.
Fifth Hand Example.
The practical value of the approach
| principle and the use of bids of one and
low responses to show strong hands
came in the fifth hand OF the second
rubber Of the night, when. due to the
fact that the strength of the combined
hands held by Waldemar Won Zedtwitz
and me was concealed we defeated the
contract Of three diamonds, undertaken
by Mr.. Lenz, five tricks for penalty
