NANCY PAGE Rain in Camp Makes
 New Games Good Fun By Florence La Gahkc

The girls were in camp and were moaning the rainy weather, True enough il had ra.ncd for three days ia succcssion And rainy days in q house are bad enough. but days in camp when out Of doors Is soppy and drlppy and in doors Is dull and gloomy well, its no wonder the E rls were all writing home for transportatlon The camp director finally decided the wise thing 10 do was to cap italize the rain. And she get 10 work with the following games. Each girl was given n cup. Then the group was divided into two sides. Bathing suits were put on and the game started.
 The side which filled It's cups first with rain won. That did not mean necessarily that they stood out like bcggar children and lc: the rain drops pour into the cups but they were told they could not scoop up water from pools nor in containers like barrels.
 The wisc girls hunted for the broadcst pans they could find. By setting these out in the rain they gathered much water in short time. But it took skill to pour the water into the cups and not lose half or 1t In the pouring.

1YOUR CHILDREN

thought the day was over for soaring children. but this happened less than a week ago, and l re- peat 1t here to enlightcn those who thought as 1 did that the dark ages in child training were over Evidently they are not.
 A certain family with little boy three years of age engaged nurse who came highly recon mended from n family of standing in another city--not a young wo- man. but 90 or 35 years of age.
 Billy was bnlky about some thing. "If you don't do IL, rll bend your fingers back said the nurse. His mother overheard the remark and laid down the law then and there. Billy didn't un- derstand what his, nurse meant fortunately, and the nurse was al' lowed to st0y--on trial But day or so later she told Billy that she would put him down in n dark hole in the celler and put n cross dog outside to keep him there.
 This time there was no barley. Billy's nurse left.
 Threats Plant Fear Complex
 Did you ever? Would you have believed that there still existed people who would dare to talk to Il child like that?
 remember about four or five years ago of hearing Il rather. nice looking young woman in Il store say to her little girl; "If you touch anything again I'll put your hand on the stove when l get you homc."
 1 never got over that--really up until that time 1 had never heard such n vicious threat - l didn't know people ever talked like that to children. She didn't mean 1t, neither did the nurse mean 1t, but that doesn't matter. Such speeches are enough to strike a terrible terror in life in general into lit- tie peoples hearts
 It doesn't matter that we don't actually call in the ragman to steal Tommy 'or send word to the big black bear to stand in his room and watch that he goes to sleep, or call the dentist to come and hurt him. or the policeman to put him in jail - the thing that matters are the words, the silly. sinister threats. Fear complex does not arise from actual facts 
 Poor Form of Discipline
 One time when I was little maid used to say to me, "If you don't do so and go. I'll take you out in the park and lose you"
 used to dream about being lost in the park. It was my fn- vorite nightmare for years until my own common sense argued me out of 1t as grew older. But 1t made me miserable. l have never gotten over my complex about be- Ing lost. old as lam. When look back I can readily analyze the terror planted in my child's breast by a threat.
 My advice 't never threaten in even the,A ldest form and never allow .virse or anyone else to use this form of discipline.

 An original bid of two no trump shows a strong hand having all four suits stopped, and while the hand may contain 8 biddable, -four card suit. the hand as q whole Is not strong enough to make an orig inal forcing two-bid with.
 An original bid of two of n suit is an absolute demand bid, and is perhaps the most abused bid in Kenncy system of contract bid should not be made with hand It requires partner to keep the declaration Is arrived at even though he holds q trickless hand.
 Original Three Bids
 An original bid of three nc trump is rarely ever made. 1t Is a hand very seldom held as 1t re- quires all four suits doubly stopped, and invites Il slam. In practically every case 1t Is far bet ter to open hands this strong with an original forcing two of suit bid.
 An original bid of three of q suit shows a hand long in trump and with outside defensive strength. but not quite strong enough to make an original two bid with. It informs partner that with 6 possible in-card in his hand you can undoubtedly go game. IL further informs partner that you have no desire to play the hand at no trump and that he need not have normal trump support to take you to game.
 Original Four Bids
 Any original bid of four of n suit is & pre-emptive bid and shows great 1length in trump and little or no defensive strength. 1t advises partner that you will take about eight tricks If the suit you name s trump. They are made primarily for the purpose. of shutting out an opponents bid.
 While all original bids of four are prc-emptive bids, generally the only ones that accomplish their real purpose are major pre- emptive bids. To successfully pre- empt in q minor suit, the original bid should be five.
 Contract players should not confuse pre-emptive bids with original bids of three. The pat- terms of the two hands are some what similar except that original lhree bids have side defensive arexDth. while pre-cmptive four blds contain nothing more than n long suit and possibly a side ace or side king.

 "So I'm the interference" Sue could visualize the situation very easily She knew exactly how the other girl would respond. she would probably see through the r,ise and be merely amused, IL would tell her so clearly what she wanted to know, Namely, that pr Barnes was afraid Of her.

 'Im not" Sue reflected that it was strange. but she wasn't wor- rying. It didn't matter to her what sort of an impression She made on them. No one really mattered but Jack. anyway.

Her mind trembled away from refIec- ton of what this day might have been like If she had given her pledge to Van yesterday Instead of 10 this boy. She shut her cyes to banish the recollection q of his stormy glance, his eyes devouring hers.
 No, she would not think of him now! All that was behind her.
 She glanced up to find Gives blue eyes upon her. He withdrew his gaze instantly but she had the sensation of having looked into a room where the curtains had not yet been drawn. His eyes had been saying something to her something what was it? There was n message there but she could not translate it.
 Troubled, she sought escape in words. She babbled to him of other journeys she had made, trips with her mothers company in one night stands. She made him laugh with anecdotes of that crazy-quilt life of hers They were in q gale of merriment when the porter. knocking on the door, announced dinner. ''"
 "Dyou mlnd?" Give asked when the man had taken the order and departed. 'I'll have to bunk on the couch here tonight. There wasn't lower berth to be had on the train although I tried. I'll be awkward"
 "Why should mind?" She looked at him. composed as 3 child. Indeed. should be nervous If you didn't stay. I've never tray cled alone"
 He made m eloquent little gcs- turc.
 Look here, Give" she cried rather sharply. We can't make a melodrama of all this or we'll hate each other. We've got to be sen sible about it."
 "You're quite right. Thanks for reminding me" She had sense enough for two. he decided. What q elf-possession little thing she was.
 She pretendcd to be asleep when he came in. She snuggled down be- tween the coarse Pullman sheets. Through her lashes she could see him. stepping softly so as not to waken her. An, she did like his looks She wondered why she had never appreciated them before.
