Telephone Etiquette
DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:


If Mrs. Smith calls up Mrs.
Brown on the telephone which
should be the one to say
"good-by" to end the CONVEX
Sation? e. D.
Mrs. Smith should be the one
to end the conversation. Since
it was she who started the
conversation, she should be the
one to give the signal to end
it. Mrs. Smiths object in
wishing to speak to Mrs. Brown
might be frustrated by an end
being put to the conversation
before she had really finished
what she had to say.

Once upon q time, every girl
looked forward to marriage as
she did to Christmas Day, and
to a husband as q Life Santa

But marriage is no longer
the royal road to a life Of

It is more like a labor-union,
in which two jobs and two

there used to be only one.
"I'll clean your safety razor

'"The Official System"

Opening Two Bids

Under The Official System
an opening bid of two. either
of major suit or a minor
make, is only semi-forcing in
character. It announces hold
ing too great strength for an
opening bid of one, and in
sufficient strength for a de-
mand bid of three. This open
ing two bid of a suit shows at
least Z probable tricks, includ-
ing 2 or more quick tricks.
Sometimes an excess of quick
tricks justifies bidding two up
on a minimum of 61a probable
tricks.
The following hands are
worth opening bids of two, but
they are not worth opening
bids of three:

a biddable suit or can shift to
2-No Trumps upon stops to the

a minimum of three small
trumps Cor AK, XXX, or Q-O

If you have a sound shift Of

BIG ISSUES FACED
BY SUPREME COURT
Chain Store Tax and Rulings
on Citizenship Cases to
Be Reviewed.
NJ the Associated Press.

@y bnH AasuSAabSA EAVsas
Among the 400 cases awaiting the
scrutiny of the Supreme Court, which
Spens its Fall term on Monday, are
three which have already been decided
by the close and comment provoking
margin of IS to 4.
Even after the court has ruled for
mally on a suit. the losers, If still I'M
convinced, have one more chance. They
may ask for rehearing, telling where
they think the court erred.
Sometimes, though rarely, the court
will take up the case again, but re-
versal of the original decision is even
more infrequent.
Nevertheless, the court this year has
been asked to reconsider 80 cases dis
posed of last term in IT opinions.
Chain Tax Heads List.
One is the Indiana chain store tax,
decided by a 5-to-4 margin. Justice
Roberts delivered the opinion and
Chief Justice Hughes and Justices
Holmes, Stone and Brandeis agreed
ON the other hand, Justices Butler, Van
Devanter, McReynolds and Sutherland
disagreed.
It was one of the opinions which
drew attention to an apparently new
alignment of the court on many broad
questions with Chief Justice Hughes and
Holmes, Brandeis and Stone, trio
famous for diSsents.<
The old majority group, was COM
posed of the four dissenters in the chain
store tax case aligned with Chief Justice
Taft and Justice Sanford, both of
whom died early in 1880.
Rulings Cause Furore.
Their rulings now and then caused
a furore in the Senate with independent
Republicans and some Democrats shout
ing that the court majority was entirely
too solicitious of the welfare of corpora
tons.
The two other 5-to-4 decisions back
for another chance are the equally
well known cases in which the court
denied citizenship to DR.. Douglas Clyde
Macintosh, Yale professor, and Marie
Averil Bland, New York nurse, both
Canadians, because they refused to take

The Search for Permanence

~ 0SChNA wi "a
But Israel shall be saved with
an everlasting salvation" says
Isaiah. aye shall not be ashamed
nor COMPOUNDED, world without end. !"
The Bible constantly suggests that
religion fulfills mans search for
something that shall endure. 1--WE
have here no continuing city, but
seek one to come" The early patri-
agchs looked for "a city that hath
foundations" Life is like morning
mist that vanishes before the day
has more than begun. In God alone
man finds foundation for his faith
which is permanent.
The constant shifting and chang
ing of the foundations of our lives
constitutes one of our greatest
trials. The old home town looks like
strange place when we return to
it after score of years. The old
friends have gone, the familiar
voices are forever stilled. We are
strangers in the place where we once
knew every house and footpath, and
where all the people called us ia
miliarly by name.
II is so with the "salvations' we
build up for ourselves. Money will
save us from such Inconvenience
and will buy us some things that
are good. But worldly fortune is a
frail thing and no man who trusts
it is safe through the years into old
age.
Education is one of mans ways
of saving himself. 1t enables him to
meet the problems of life and to
compel circumstances to his will. But
its ministry will not go. as far as he
must go. Somewhere along the way
all his intellectual accomplishment
proves insufficient for his deeper
needs.
"Ye shall not be ashamed nor
COMPOUNDED, world without end.
We may miss much that is good in
life and still know the abiding JOY
that all men want, if only we can
feel assured for the limitless future.

Scouts are urged to dc all pos

In some communities Girl Scout
troops have given their time and
energy for the distribution of milk
for infants and young mothers, and
in others they help by distributing
the food, collected by relief agencies
to families unable to call for it.
In the solicitation of food and
clothing the scouts are not per-
mitted to call upon strangers, but
are restricted to their own circle of
friends. They work, always, in CO.
