PINEVILE, Ky. 49, The coal opera
tors Of Kentucky and Tennessee are
doing everything IN their power to
try to break the strike Of the thou
sands Of miners struggling against
starvation and terror. under the lead
ership Of the National Miners Union.
Because the Workers International
Relief, through its branches through
out the country, is modifying the
whole working class and friends OF
the workers throughout the country,
TO provide food and clothing for the
striking miners, their wives and
children, to help them with the
strike, the coal operators are making
special efforts to stop the work Of this
organization. We, two representatives
OF the Workers international Relief,
charge that our arrest on January
4th, along with the seven others. on
the absurd charge of criminal syn
dicahsn, are part of the whole cam
paigr to try to smash the strike.
That special and vicious attempts
are made TO prevent hungry children
from eating, are proved by the dyna-
hitting Of the Workers International
Relief Kitchens in Evarts, Harlan
County, last May. And since the strike
started on January I, carloads of
gunner have surrounded some of the
WIZ. kitchens, most recently at
Board Tree mine, only leaving them
when they saw the miners deter
ulination to safeguard them.
The miners in Kentucky and Ten
nessee are on starvation scale Of
living even when working full week.
Thousands of miners children are
going ragged and barefoot in the
middle Of winter. Many die Of the
starvation disease, flux. Practically
none Of the children get milk and
the proper nou-ishment. In many
nlinGs scrip is given instead Of money,
thus keeping the miners bound TO
the coal company.
The Red Cross, which has always
worked hand in hand with the coal
operators. gives no help to union
members. The local Ped Cross head
Mrs. Hutchin5, is a prosecutors aide
and has tried TO organize gang to
lynch us. In time OF strike, it becomes
a strike-breaking agency, Withholding
all relief, and doing everything pos
dble to break the strike.
The coal operators are well aware
Of this condition of slavery and starry
alton They are trying to uce the de-
stiGution OF the miners as a weapon
10 try 10 break the strike They want
inc miners TO be starved back to work.
The Workers international Relief
is determined this shall not be done.

Ian. Judge Van Beber and Prosecutor

ing distributed TO striking white and

ren. Thousands Of workers all over
the United States a-e collecting

DRINKERS LEFT
To OWN FATE

The statement of Col. Amos W.
w. Woodcock, head of the Federal
cry forces. that the Government
has left the private drinker to
"his own conscience and the
forces of education" was received
with keen interest in the Capital.
Woodcock addressed the Cen
eral Assembly of the Presbyterian
Church in Denver with an old pre-
war prohibition appeal, declaring
that with the infinity of present
interests, with the wisdom of the
ancientS, with the faith in our
God, surely you can teach men to
be happy and content without al
cohol."
The purely private violator is
protected by the Fourth and Fifth
Amendments of the Constitution
and by provisions of the national
prohibition act that makes it un-
lawful to search a private house
without a search warrant based on
sale, Woodcock said. He added:
"TheSe considerations alone
would have been sufficient from
tactical standpoint for the de-
ciSiOn made to direct the Fed
eral force against the trafficker
in liquor and to leave the pri-
vate viOlatOrS to the forces of
education"

Vanced on the military outpostS

sides of the mine. No casualties
were reported.
Defense frightened
In view of the plans of opera
tors to reopen mines throughout

were modified to prevent miners
from going to work.
Chased Into Hills
The attempts to ent; the Lick
Run mine last night and early

Fossils Proof of
Antiquity of Man?

The most ancient being known
which can be called man was discov-
cred in Java. 1t was imbedded in
a stratum containing fossil plants and
animals Of at least half million
years ago. This being, called Pithe-
canthropus erectus, had small head,
with huge ridges over the eyes. Its
teeth were much Ike tohse of today,
and it walked erect.
Next in age are the remains Of II
individuals discovered deeply buried
in a cave near Peiping. China. These
people were much like the Java man,
but were somewhat more advanced.
The associated animal bone; indicate
a period only little later.
Near Heidelberg, in Germany, a
human jaw was found during COM
mercial excavations. The stratum in
which ii lay was deposited in the
second interglacial epoch, probably
100000 years ago. The jaw Is huge.
1t has no chin, but the teeth are
human.
Another find Of about the same
age was made near Piltdown, Sus-
sex, England, and consists Of very
simple skull, combined with a jaw
which resembles that Of Chin
panzee.
Fifty thousand years ago people
called Neanderthal were living in the
caves of Europe. They were dis
tinctly human, but in many ways re-
sembled the anthropoid apes. They
had long, low heads, projecting faces,
and walked in semi-erect position.
About $4,000 years ago they were
displaced by newcomers, the Gro.

Harvest Moon

During the month of March the
moon rises one hour and twenty min
utes later each succeeding evening, but
during the autumnal equinox it rises
in the east at nearly the same time
after sunset for four or five successive
evenings. and this phenomenon has
been known for many decades as the
Harvest moon.
In northern Europe and Canada 1t
is much more noticeable than in the
United States, where for centuries 1t
has been regarded as a lantern hung
in the sky to aid the thrifty husband
men to harvest his crops.

Life.Insurance Protection

Life insurance premiums in the
United States absorb 4 per cent of
the total national income, according
to On article by Mary Dublin re-
viewed in Social Science Abstracts.
At the close of 1929 there was $113,-
O0O,0O0,OOO Of life insurance in force
in this country, which was almost
three times that carried in all other
countries in the world. Though most
persons who carry insurance are in
adequately insured, 1t is pointed out,
protection is much more general
among the upper income groups
than among the wage earning pop
ulatiOn.

If South, the dealer, opens with a
no trump he will end with that con-
tract for game, as North, having no
take-out, will correctly raise a no
trump. In this case West will lead
his fourth best diamond, and before
South can gain the lead he will be
set
But what a difference If the scienti-
dc approach principle is followed with
an opening bid Of one spade.
The approach method has simply
removed the no trump from it's former
dominant position in opening bids
where it was, so to speak, blocking
the traffic" But at the same time the
system has greatly enlarged the range
of no trump take-outs, even extending
them to include hands containing
trump support for partners major
suit bids but better distribution for
no trumps.
The success of the approach prin-
ciple is predicated on the fact that
the partner Of the original bidder, ii
the next player passes, is forced to
keep the bidding open unless his hand
is practically "bust." Lacking a
raise or a suit take-out for the orig
inal declaration, the partner makes a
negative no trump bid. The negative
no trump is clearly understood to be
sort Of courtesy response, not a
strength showing bid.
In the approach-forcing system, all
opening suit bids Of one are modified
forcing bids. That is, as we have seen,
after an original suit bid Of one Is
opened, If the next player passes the
partner Is compelled to bid unless his
hand is practically trickless. But the
system also includes three absolute
forcing bids which compel the partner
to keep the contract open until game
Is reached even though he holds a
bust hand.
The three absolute forcing bids are ::
First-THE FORCING TWO-BID.
Any opening two-bid in a suit. (Not
In no trumps)
Second-THE FORCING TAKE
OUT. Any jump bid in new suit by
either partner provided one Of them
previously opened the bidding.
Third-THE FORCING OVER
CALL. A bid Of an opponents suit.

Doseer.l Verse. Are Ancient

The idea of inventng doggerel
verses to sing with bugle calls seems
to have had its beginning in Germany.
Some Of these rhymes are said to be
very ancient. The verses were not
confined to their own army but were
sometimes adapted to those Of their
traditional enemies, the French. In
England similar rhymes, some of them
nonsensical, are invented for some Of
the calls. This practice has. also bee1
adopted in the United States army.

The Aprroach-F orcing
Principle

THE first rule of the Approach prln-
L ciple is:
Whenever hand contains bidda-
BILE suit (be it even four-card minor)
an opening bid in the suit and not
at no trumps should be preferred
1t is on this rule that the whole
principle of the approach method
rests. For by these low Introductory
bids, partnership has room for the
full exchange Of information so often
necessary before they can choose the
best bid for their 26 cards. This de-
cided preference which is given to
original suit bids including minor
suits, four-card suits, and weak five
card suits, provides against shutting
them out with opening no trump bids.
The approach principle of opening
suit bid instead Of no trump ap-
plies even though the hand contains
no singleton or unprotected suit.
Most hands with sufficient strength
for an original bid offer a choice be-
| tween a suit and no trump. In many
cases if no trump is opened the
bidding runs so high that it is too
late for partners to locate possible
major suit which might have resulted
in game where the no trump would
fail.
The following hand illustrates one
of the thousands where a game which
could have been scored with modern
scientific bidding is thrown away by
the old fashioned no trump bidder
who has never been schooled in the
value of approach methods.
