Among the things the Execu.

He cited the "children's char

children, as the ideal goal toward
which all parents should work.

Short Story of PAPER.

About the time Of Alexander the
Great, paper began to be manufactured
from an Egyptian plant called papytus,
whence comes the name paper. 1t be-
came so valuable that the export Of pa
per from Egypt was prohibited. The
Greeks and Romans did not have the
secret and so they commenced to make
use OF skins prepared for the purpose.
The product of sheep skin was called
parchment" and that of calves was
called "vellum." Finally these pieces
were made up into a continuous roll
and called ''volumen," which is the
origin OF the word volume" julius
Caesar was responsible for making
writing material In the form OF pages,
which was more convenient than the

PROBE OF FOREIGN
CURRENC|ES ASKED
Reed Demands Study of Ef-
feet of Depreciation
on U. S. Trade.

A Tariff Commission investigation
into the effect Of deprecated foreign
currencies on American trade was de-
manded yesterday by Senator Reed
Republican, of Pennsylvania.
He said his objective was temporary
provision that the invoice value of i'm
ported goods be changed by the amount
the currency of the importing country
has gone up or down.
Copper and wool were mentioned as
examples of commodities which have
been brought to the United States in
increasing quantities since foreign cur
rencies were deprecated.
Figures Are Cited.
Senator Vandenberg, Republican
Michigan, borrowed Reeds list to read
figures showing that imports of refined
copper increased from 1884, 900 pounds
in December, 1880, to 30,225, 900 in De-
cember, 1881.
THE price Of copper yesterday in
New York" Reed said, was the lowest
ever known In the history of the world,
and they're still making money down
there in the mines Of Rhodesia.
"They pay their labor little enough
wages anyway. and when they pay them
in deprecated currency it costs them
hardly anything"
Imports of particular grade of wool
from England more than doubled in the
same period, he said
"Out of Line" He Says.
Reed argued that the cost of produc-
ton in countries abandoning the gold
standard has declined and that accord
tngly ad valoreum duties are "out of
line"
In response to questions from Senator
Harrison, Democrat, Wisconsin, Reed
said that II the proposed investigation
shows present rates are too low, he IA
voTs increasing them, but added he IA
vors reductions If the study shows they
are too high.

hands would fit, and assured part
ner command of two suits.
West then bid four hearts. East
bid five no trump, and West then
went to six clubs.
The Play
We can see that a spade open
ing would make it easy for the de-
clarer. If North selects the jack OF
hearts opening, the declarer easily
can read the hand.
However, careful card reading was
required by Miss Maize Buie of
Washington, D. c.. who with her
partner. DR.. j. G. McClelland OF
Akron. O.. won the pair champion
ship of this tournament, as she re-
ceived a club opening.
A small club was played from
dummy. South played the six, and
Miss Buie, the declarer in the West
won the trick with the nine.
She now led the ace and king Of
hearts, noting carefully that North's
ten dropped on the second heart
trick.
She then ruffed a small heart
with dummy's ten of clubs, and
North's Jack fell. A small spade
was returned from dummy, and
trumped by the declarer,
Two rounds of trumpS were taken,
and then Miss Buie reasoned that if
North held the queen, jack, ten and
three of hearts, the heart queen
would have been the original open
ing, so her next play was her small
heart. which South was obliged to
win with the queen.
South now had to return dia-
mond or a spade, either of which
would give Miss Buie her contract
of six clubs.
You will notice that the declarer
did not take gamble on what
might prove a losing finesSe, but
executed a neat position play to
max the small slam.
