She is credited with being the originator of phychic bidding of contract. I asked her one day how she happened to develop psychic bidding, and she replied. Contract is a game of bidding and when your opponents hold all of the good cards or are altogether too skilful, I decided that I would no longer sit back and allow the Romans to capture the city uncontested, so l put in a few bids with the sole in- tent to dishupt the teamwohk of my opponents. and it was surpris- ing how well it worked
 Mrs Sims has been holder of sev- eral national championship at both auction and contract. She Is a ca pablo player and one whose bidding Is most difficult an analyZe. It was only recently that her bridge friends persuaded her to publish book describing her interesting and unusual psychic bidding.
 In the following hand, Mrs Sims gives an example of one of her interesting phychic bids.
 DIAGRAM. .. .. .. .. c. ....
 The Bidding
 Mrs Sims was sitting in the West. Her opponents were using the Van derbilt club bid-an arbitrary con- vention showing at least three and one-half tricks when used, and a hand that has one suit unprotected for no trump.
 South opened the bidding with Vanderbilt club. Mrs Sims over called with two spades. You will notice that her hand contains noth- ing in spades, but she has an out bid in hearts. North promptly doub- led the, two spades, East passed, South passed and Mrs Sims now bid three hearts. North decided that Mrs Sims was out on a limb and doubled the three hearts.
 The Play
 North opened his doubleton dia- mond. Mrs Sims easily made her contract doubled, but North and South can make five spades with out any difficulty an even if Mrs Sims /had been set two tricks she would have had an especially good score on the board. -
 Psychic bids are dangerous tac- tics--not recommended for the be- ginner, but thrill producers when successful.

the horrible messiness of the aerial equipment of other countries, the British have stolen a march on us. It makes us indignant to realize that when an American airman drops one of our old-fashioned bombs on Sandino in Nicaragua, it puts our flyers in a reaetionary light.
 The late Lord Thompson once declared, in answer to a disturbed questioner, that when dealing thus with recalcitrant native populations, the British air ministry was care full to blow up only revolutionists. The only thing for us to do, then, is to turn over all future jobs of bombing to the clever British, whose selective bombings in Iracq, the Northwest Frontier in India and elsewhere have supremely qualified them to perform the rite of pacifica- tion.-Alamosa (Colorado) Courier.

FEE SYSTEM UNJUST

Marshall. (Texas) Morning News It is interesting to view the earn ings of various public officials. It shows what the fee system does for us. The governors salary is $4,OOO per year; the sheriff of Harris County pulls down as salary and fees $35,00O. The attorney generals salary is $4,00O, while justice of the peace in Harris County gets in fees $12,500. The State treasurer's salary is $2,500, while a constable in Harris County collects s7,5O0 in fees. These figures are true of all the large counties and in the small CT ones comparatively large.
 The Waxahachie Light tells us what the fee system did for young man who committed the heinous crime of riding a freight train. He

HUMOR AT GENEVA

In our mellower moments we have been expecting apologies to emanate from the participants in the so-called disarmament confer ence at Geneva; but the only one that has come to our notice is that of Eduard Benes, of Czecho-Slova- kia. MT. Benes, according to reports, made a public retraction and apol- ogy for his assertion two days be- fore that bombardment from the air is barbarous and inhuman." This graceful statement, it appears, was made on the complaint of the Brit ish Air Ministry which asserted that British flyers never had been gully of barbarous actions"
 Now. in our naive fashion, we had actually worked ourselves up into believing that modern aerial war fare was a bit uncivilized, if not downright indelicate. We feel im- mensely relieved. Our chief dis comfort now is a patriotic one. In their development of nice and con- siderate bombs, which have none of

BUY NOW AND SAVE

With the close of the fishing season, hundreds in this district who have had only temporary em- ployment will be thrown out of work again. They face the winter without much prospect of finding additional employment. Now is the time for each and every one of those so situated to prepare himself as best he can for the coming months. He cannot in justice liter ally throw away his money and ex- pect charity to care for him, be- cause charity knows it's limits. Neither can he say that he will not take charity, but demand instead . job-because jobs will not be forth coming.
 At the same time, commodity prices are going up. It is impos- sible to predict whether they will continue to go up, but every indica- tion is that the majority of prices cannot go lower. Already clothing prices have taken a decided up turn. Only yesterday announce ment was made in another sizeable increase in rayon prices.
 It is entirely possible that food stuffs will follow the upswing. But whether they do or not, it is a good idea for those now unemployed to buy for the winter with what savings they have. By purchas- ing in quantity lots, considerable savings can be made. In addition, the purchaser will guard himself against a possible increase in prices without greatly jeopardizing the possibility of getting things cheaper later on because of his buying in quantity lots now. - Ketchikan Chronicle.

BRITISH R. R. CUTS 400 OFFICE
 WORKERS FROM PAYROLL

LONDON, Aug. 25.-(Canadian Press) You do not want to see fellow-workers lose their jobs or lose your own job," said Sir Her bert Walker, General Manager of the Southern Railway, in a leaflet recently issued to the staff con- taing a warning of the serious ness of the railways position owing to the slump in passenger and freight traffic. Believe me-" he addad, "the management does not wish it either" Yet shortly after wards nearly 200 girls clerks and typists with less than three years service in the Southern Railway administrative offices were given notice of dismissal on August 10, and about 100 young men on the outside staff" also were notified that on the same date their ser vices would be dispensed with, this being part of a drastic program of economy. More staff cuts are ex- pected.
 The leaflet in question pointed out that in the first 24 weeks of this year the total decrease in traf- fic earnings was $4,050,000.

EARLIEST KNOWN MEN

In recent years discussions con corning the evolution of man have awakened an increased interest in our early ancestors. While the re- mains of several primitive speci mems have been unearthed in com paratively recent years, the search for additional types is going for ward in many parts of the world.
 What is believed to be the old est remains of a man-like being so far brought to light are those of the Java man, discovered in 1891. This creature was ape-like, but he had greater brain capacity and was of more human development than any known ape. He is known to scientists as Pithecanthropus Erec- tus and lived about 500,000 years ago.
 Next is the Heidelberg man, whose jaw was ape-like, but with truly human teeth, found in Ger many in 1907 under 79 feet of sand mingled with the remains of now extinct mammals of 250,0O0 or more years ago.
 The third is the Piltdown man, found in Sussex, England, in 1912, which also combines characteristics of both ape and man. This speci- men probably lived 150,00O years ago.
 Next in order is the Neanderthal race, represented by numerous re- mains including complete skeletons, discovered in various parts of Eu- rope and Asia since 1856. These were more ape-like than any race of men existing today, but were nevertheless fairly passable human beings, and lived about 50,00O to 100000 years ago.
 Finally, perhaps 50,O00 or more years ago, there began to appear several races of true men, the Gro Magnon, Grimaldi, Aurignacian and Brunn races, of whom many we'll preserved skeletons have been dis covered during the last 50 years. The Gro Magnons were perhaps the finest specimens who ever lived, the men ranging from five feet ten and a half inches to six feet four and a half inches in height.
 There are few subjects more fascinating than that of primitive man, and any serious-minded person will be we'll repaid for the time spent in studying it.-Ex.

A WISE AND UPRIGHT JUDGE

An intoxicated motorist drove
 into a car parked by a roadside near Cleveland, Ohio, some years
 ago and killed the owner of the automobile. Brought to trial and
 convicted of manslaughter. he was
 eminently eligible for the peniten- tiary. Judge Carl Weygandt, how
 ever, decided to alter the customary l legal procedure.
 The convicted defendant had a wife and two children. He had
 worked for a Cleveland concern for
 many years, was ordinarily sober
 and reliable. The deceased left g
 widow and four children. After
 consultations and discussions, the
 convicted man was ordered by Judge Weygandt to take his choice
 of going to prison or dividing his
 pay check with his own family and the family of the man he had kill ed. The defendant chose to avoid the prison stigma and to go to
 work supporting two families.
 For three years, the man who
 would have had merely number instead of a name but for Judge Weygandt's kindly intervention la bored hard at his chosen task. He secured extra employment which brought in extra cash. He received several promotions. He rigidly car ried out his part of the bargain. For three years Judge Weygandt watched the case, offering counsel and encouragement. The eldest son of the widow was graduated from high school and went to work. An other followed suit. Gradually the burden was lifted from the back of the man who had labored hard to atone for his crime. Finally
 Judge Weygandt discharged him from all further obligations.
 A wise and upright judge took the time and trouble to investigate this particular case in Cleveland, Ohio He found out that the de- | fendant was not a criminal type.
 On the contrary, the earnest zeal
 with which he buckled down to the
 work of supporting two families
 showed that he was, on the whole,
 man of decent instincts, well de-
 serving of judicial leniency. Jurists
 of the Weygandt type, men who
 temper justice with mercy, increase respect for law and respect for the courts of the Nation. His brand of justice deserves the commendation of America.-Ex.

U. S. Marshal J. NJ. Tanner and John T. Reid of Juneau visited Wrangell while on trip to visit
 registration precincts of southeast ern Alaska,and round up slackers. Marshal Tanner said: "Our trip Is in the interest of the registration. Slackers or any persons making sedi- tious utterances will receive our prompt, but not very courteous att
 tention. I want every loyal citizen in Southeastern Alaska to know that the United States Marshal's Office is on the job to take care of the case Of any person who makes an un- American utterance At present I have jail room for 200 persons and
 could easily provide more room if
 it were necessary. And when I lock a man up I believe the chances will
 be good for his remaining a prison- CT until the war is over The man who by word or action hampers the government in the least during the war deserves worse than imprison- ment.
 Our itinerary will cover South eastern Alaska pretty completely. When we get back to Juneau there will be scarcely a village that we have not visited. In Southeastern Alaska there are some of as loyal Americans as I have ever known, and, speaking generally, the people of this region are loyal to the gov- ernment. But unfortunately there are reported to be some exceptions.
 The names of several persons in this locality suspected of being pro- German are in my hands, and If they are heard to make any disloyal utterances they will most certainly land in jail regardless of who they are. I have been United States Mar shal before. have locked up a great many men in my time, and oftimes
 with some degree of sympathy. But
 could lock up the man who would hamper the government in it's pros-
 ecution of war with almost as
 much satisfaction as I would take a shot at the kaiser if I had 8 chance.''
