POLI. PALACE-"WHITE ZOM- BEE, RECALLS CHI A R Nj S, TALISMANS AND LAWS

Charms and amulets, talismans and fetilshes to protect one against an enemy or to kill that same en- emy are as old as Babylon and Nineveh from which they have been handed down through India. and Africa to Southern America and the West Indies.
 But 1t is in Haiti that the abra- cadabra and mumbo-jumbo. or ouanga, meaning in English a charm or spell, reaches it's height, So much so that the government of the black republic has been compelled to add to it's criminal code the following article:
 All makers Of oaangas. bags, packets, talismans and other 700. doc subjects of variouse sorts shall be punished by from three to SIX months imprisonment by the poe lice court. and for the repetition of the offense by an fmprisonment to two years by the criminal court: Such convictions shall not prevent the additional Heverer penalties for more serious crimes commitfed n this connection"
 Tn actual practice however, the Application of this law is compar- able tO that of the Volstead law m the United States. Great piles Of drums and other sacred objects were conflscated and either sent home as souvenirs or burned by tho marine corps during the early years ok United States occupation and Q number of yoodoo temples were burned.

The Bidding

The Bidding
 South, the dealer, opened the bidding with one heart. West passed and North bid one spade, North and South were using the one over one, therefore even though North has four quick tricks he does not need to make a jump force as his bid of one spade forces partner to bid again. East passes and now South,' to assure the bid ding being kept open, made a jump. shirt force of three clubs. This forcing bid requires that the bidding be kept open until 9 game going contract is arrived at. It differs from \ the one; over one force which makes no promise for game. .st In reply to the three clubs, North went to four no trump to show powerful hand. South responded with five hearts and now with North's hand, knowing that part after u jump shift force you can mot blame North for jumping right into a grand slam at hearts.
 The Play
 West has the opening lead. The only suit not bid by North and South is diamonds. but West real izes that North isswell prepared for a diamond lead or he would not have bid the grand slam. To open trump might allow the declarer to establish one of his long suits before East and West can do any damage. As North had bid spades. West decided to lead through North's strength and led the jack of spades which the declarer won with the, queen.
 The declarer can see that he is lacking in, re-entries in dummy and should therefore play the ace of hearts from his own hand instead of leading small heart to dummy.
 The small heart should be. the next play and West, thinking there may be some kind of squeeze in the hand, decides to show his part ner the king of clubs by discard- ing the nine of clubs. The declarer wins the trick in dummy with the ten of hearts. r
 The nine of clubs informs de- clarer that a club finesse would fail. There is only one chance
 as Hong as he knows that West holds the king of clubs, why not play for the king of diamonds In the East hand. s~i
 Declarer plays the ace of dia- monds from dummy and discards a club. He then leads the queen of diamonds. Wien East refuses to cover. the declarer has to take a gamble, and discaBds the seven of clubs from his own hand. Of course, if West held both kings. the declarer's contract would be defeated.
 You can now see that the- de. clarer can discard the other two clubs on the ace and king of spades and he has made. his contract of . grand slam. The hand was played at rubber bridge. therefore South scored 1000 points for bidding and making the grand siam as his side was not vulnerable.

Today At Local heaters

Prince. one may hear the rada sdrumsf booming in the distance. 2 So, charms are still made and spells are cast as is shown ill White Zombie,' a motion picture distributed by United Artists tell ing the story of the Zombies or "Walking dead man" of the island. now at the Poli Palace theater.
 This little known practice of digging ups freshly buried cOrpses and "conjuring'' them into action as slaves, "soulless and unseeing," shuffling, plodding beasts, who are neither dead. nor alive, is firmly established in the minds of the is- land blacks, and there have been authenticated instances u p Q n which their belief is based.
 The story, of The Zombies is not widely known, and writers have referred to it only casually with one or two exceptions. It seems so far-fetched that intelligent writers refuse to credit it. Still many strange things happen on the black island. that taxes human understanding.
 For instanceS Victor Halperin, QlGcClOE UT w AItC 6OiiAUASS sWAtS went to Haiti to film the picture, tells of seeing a magic circle drawnI in the earth around man. andI although there was absolutely nothing the matter with him, the| victim of the charm could moi move beyond the circle.
 There is a charm in Haiti ron almost every condition. Old hagsl manufacture philters and potionsl which will bring back loved ones| of snaite enemies. Do you desire| the death of a person who haf| wronged you or who is in youi| way? Secure some piece of cloth I ing or ornament worn by the per son, and attach it to wax image' of the enemy. Burn the imagd and your path will be cleared of trouble.

 This action was taken last night at meeting of the post executive committee in the home. A special committee win be named, headed by Mayor Hayes. Upon this com- inittee will fall the work of fur thering the plan and making it a success.
 The Rochester plan in a nut shell is this: Representatives make q tour of property owners and ask if they contemplate any improve ments. The work is tabulated and then men are sent out to work for the property owners or business houses, per contact with the Roch- ester plan committee. It has been tried by the legion in all parts of the. country and has been highly successful.
 William Harris, head of the Mu- tual Aid fund was present at the meeting and agreed that the plan was a most feasible one.

Dr Ernest W.

 "Now there is no work for any boy or girl under 1S," he said. "and there never will be again in my opinion. Industry and busi- ness have become so mechanical that they need never again seek child labor. Parents, even in pros perity, are going to have their chil- dren on their hands until they are IS years of age and are going to send them to school. Naturally. many will go to high school whose intelligence is unsuited to good high school work"
