10 Culbertson;s Ice Coat
Hides a Sentimentalist
She Has Temper, Cries Often,
She'll Admit-But Never
at the Bridge Table

NEW YORK, Jan. 8 QN.S0
A Sentimentalist who once was
slapped aby life for showing her
emotions too plainly-a seething
volcano beneath a layer of icicles
that is Mrs. Ely Culbertson,
greatest woman bridge player in
the world.
That is Mrs. Culbertson poised
before a tea table, sitting by her
bookcase, strolling the deck of an
ocean liner, bending over her chill
dren's beds, sitting in the pit of
an opera house-Mrs. Culbertson
any place but at a bridge table.
For the sophisticated, cool,
witty exponent of contract bridge
is some one quite different from
Josephine Murphy Culbertson,
strange and fascinating woman:
The WORLD has become familiar
with the bridge player; her tech
nique, her manner. her repartee.
Very few have met Mrs. Culbert-
son, human being. And she is
we'll worth meeting.
1 found her with a magic
formula. Here it is:
Lets talk of anything in
the world except bridge!
II enjoy the game. like
my work. But my main pur-
pose in working as hard as 1
do is to make money for my
children. 1 want to give them
the education l never had. 1

Worlds Greatest Woman Bridge Player
Copyright. 1882, by International
News SerVice(


NEW YORK, Jan. S. In
contract bridge, as in life, it is
we'll to prepare for a rainy day.
The past three sessions in
the 150-rubber match, being
played by my husband and
Sidney S. LEM to test the
merits of the approach-forcing
and "official" systems of con-
tract bidding, saw the falling
of considerable rain so far as
we are concerned, and today
the storm clouds still loom
dark against the sky.
The greater part of the losses
for us have been due to causes
over which we had no control.
Honor Scores
For instance, in the last ses-
sion in which I played, it seemed
to me that on almost every
hand I jotted down a score for
honors held by our opponents.
Hence it is just as well that, we
had amaSsed a lead great enough
to carry us through to victory,
regardless of the smiles or frowns
of fate, because there were a
number of instances of bidding
and play last night which re-
suited diSaStrously from our
viewpoint.
Strong Hands of Foes
The story of last nights play
was the story of a combination
of strong hands for our adver-
saries, interspersed with a few
instances of failure to take ad-
vantage of the rare opportuni-
ties we had to gain.
In consequence, our opponents
reduced our lead to 8,770 points
at the end of the 144th rubber.
One consolation we had was
that our opponents were using
the official" system and not
the approach-forcing, as they
would have piled up an even
greater score than they did with
the cards they held.

dees) as would commend himself to
God.
God saw in the life of this man
such a one as He would need to
carry out the great event which He
had in His infinite mind. When the
time came for God to put His plans
into execution He knew where He
would find the man to carry them
out. So he called Abram and said
Get thee out of thy country and
from thy kindred and from thy fa-
theirs house unto the land that |
will show thee" So Abram did not
question the decree but had faith
enough in God to trust Him and he
went as directed. The undertaking
was great and the way sometimes
seems long and dreary. Yet there
was at all times in the mind of
Abram the fact that God was watch
ing over him and his and would
bring them off more than conquer
ors.
If the world today would exercise
some of the faith exhibited by
Abram in God the world would be
better place to live in, and if they
would show for each other some of
that generous nature of Abram
when dealing with Lot then this old
world would become a paradise.
1t seems that when Abram and
Lot were located in the land of Caa-
nan it was not large enough to sup
port both as both of them had flocks
which the land would not maintain.
This caused a rupture between the
herdsmen of Abram and Lot. Now
notice if you please the generous
disposition displayed by Abram to-
ward Lot. Abram could have taken
first choice but he said to Lot: Let
there be no strife, / pray thee, be-
tween me and thee, and between my
herdsmen and they herdsmen, for
we are brethren. Take thy choice,
and Lot like humans generally do,
took the best Abram was suitably
rewarded by God for his generosity
to Lot in giving to Abram all the
land he could see by looking North
ward and SOuthwards and Eastward
and Westward" For all the land
thou seest, to thee will I give it and
to thy seed forever. Commentators
may say what they please about
Abram but his faith stood the test
under al trials and temptations. He
was faithful until the end and was
given a mansion in paradise.

GLENDALE


Political Democratic
Governor Roosevelt seems to grow
in favor with the people as time
comes and goes, and seems to be
able to gather the strength that will
enable him to pull through trium-
plant when the Democratic Conven-
ton meets. We know there is some
opposition, but we believe it will
fade away at the last moment, leav-
ing the track clear for Governor
Roosevelt to receive the nomination.
The Democrats have a chance to
elect the next President providing
they nominate Governor Roosevelt.
The Democrats can be trusted to
make such mistakes at the right
time as will help the Republican
party.
This has been true in the past
Will they do the same thing over
again this year? We notice that the
Roosevelt sentiment is growing in
Delaware.
John Biggs Jr., for Congress,
seems to keep ringing in the ears of
the writer constantly and won't
stop. We will keep his name nailed
to the masthead. knowing full well
if he has the ability and tact of his
hOnOred father, Hon, John Biggs, Sr..
showed when presiding officer of the
Constitutional Convention of 1896
1897 (of which the writer was
member) he will be able to fill any
position within the gift of the peo-
pie. We understand that he has not
as yet cast his hat into the ring?
Republican
All Republicans seem TO he for
President Hoover. North, south, cast
or west there seems to be only one
cry and that is Hoover. The indepen-
dent Republicans were going to do !
great things if they nominated Pres
ident Hoover; well they will have a
chance as the President is sure to
be nominated.
What effect the new tie-up will .
have on who will be nominated for
Governor OH the Republican ticket |
remains to be seen.
If it is true that a combination has
been formed between Ellison of New
Castle. Alice of Kent and Short of
Sussex. there will he something do
ing at the next Republican State
Convention.
We should think that |. d. Short
would feel out of place in such COM
pany. 1t is said that politics often
times makes strange bed fellows.
A Republican friend Of the writer
said to him few days ago that our
predictions in regards tn whom
would be nominated would have to
be revised. This would seem true af-
ter the last Republican Convention.
When the Hon. r. G. Houston was
refused by the Sussex caucus to a
place in the list of delegates some
say he was stabbed by those who
have prOfessed to be his friends.
However. we believe the OrgaHiza-
tiOn forces will come forward
stronger than ever anu will control
the next Republican Convention,
and will name the next candidate
for Governor and Congressman. Per
haps Mr.. Houston will emerge forth
victorious once more and put mis- en-
emies to flight. lie is not Il lame
duck by any means.

ton il he wants it, and as TO going

Don't let the hens you intend to

Button Factory Closed

Orders were received here Satur-
day by Robert Grell. superintendent
of the button factory. to close down
the plant until further notice. The
reason given for closing the factory
at the present time was that they
were loaded with buttons which they
could not move at any price. This is
bad news for the men who work
there. Many of them are married and
other work is very scarce at this
time. It will be a hard matter for
them to make both ends meet. The
factory has only run three days per
week for some time and TO close
down entirely makes it bad for all
concerned. IF the Highway Depart
ment could be induced to build the
cement road from Glendale to Ar
COS store at this time. il would help
the labor conditions now confront
