Based on the strange story by
the celebrated English author, J.
B. Priestley, this annual picture
tells the story of storm driven trav-
elers who seek the nights lodging
in a bleak, forbidding old house In
the lonely Welsh mountains, only
to discover its Inhabitants are dam,
gerously insane and under the spell
of a malignant giant servant. AS
the storm increases, so does the
evil brute's ferocity. and a series
Of terrifying events occur which
give this picture an, absolutely I'M
equalled dramatic punch-especial-
ly when a murder mad maniac is
loosed.
Boris Karloff, in the role Of the
hulking giant, is easily twice as
terrifying as in "Frankenstein,"

The only manner in which these
prices can be maintained on these
evenings is volume attendance. The

evenings the management will be
forced to go back to the former

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. : By Wilma La vile

There's no need to cry that
you can't find something un-
usual to give this year. For
there are many things that are
individual, many that have
formerly been outside of our
price range. and are now down
where we can afford to buy or
give them. II you look through
almost any store you will find
treasures you can scarcely pass
by, for you know that you will
never be able to get them for so
little again. Just to prove it to
you, we went through a luggage
department, and are sketching
everything except luggage.
though a sturdy wardrobe hat
box would make a splendid gift,
and every man loves a Upper
bag, If t.4ese suggestions. aren't
enough.
A Upper Robe
A beautiful warm robe for the
, car is q good gift for man,
woman or family. Not only can
you get snug plaid robes priced
very i11expensively. but those
stunning alpaca pile rcoes are
now very low priced. hey are
$10.95, and a foot muff to
match is $40. It is wonderful
not only for an open car but
also for use in cold weather in
any car, especially if you go out
much in evening shoes. The
most elegant robe of all is the
alpaca robe with one broadcloth
side, priced $3.50, and you can
have it monogramed for IS.
Nothing shows more forethought
than q gift with the initials of
the person who receives it. The
Step-in robe is welcomed by any,
one who rides in a car, on a
steamer, or who goes to football
games. We've sketched a plaid
one, with zipS right up the
front, priced $40.
New Compact Cases
Almost anyone carries around
papers these days, and will ap-
preciate a case to keep them
neat, flat and straight. The an
Swer is the porto brief, with
tuck-away handle, a pocket for
pencils or other paraphernalia,
and zipperS to close it easily.
The one Sketched is 1895,
though others are only $1.95.
Then men like the new upper
toilet cases, one of which we've
Sketched. It's compact, of pig
skin, with nine fittings, and Is
only $3.50. There are also grand

Feeble. .lminde edneSs is a very
definite condition and should
not be confused with mere
backwardneSs or with general
mental dullnesS.
An individual, especially a
child, nervous or suffering from
some physical handicap such as
eye-strain, may be thought Of
as being feeble-minded when
such is really not the case. !
Some persons have a slower
rate Of mental development
than others. Again, we often
find individuals who might be
termed "Slow thinkers" in
whom there is no defeat OF any
kind in the mental structure.
Feehle-mindedneSS Is q real,
definite and organic abnormal
ity of the brain. It is due to
the fact that the nerve cells
have not developed normally.
These nerve cells may be def
cient in number, or the indi-
vidual cells may not function
as an average brain cell does.
Both these conditions may ex-
list in one individual.
Scientific Term
Because Of the confusion
that attaches to the term
"feeble-mindedn S." scientific
workers in this field employ the
term amentia. This word is de-
rived from the Latin "a" mean
ing without, and ''menS" mean
ing mind. Using the term
amentia to designate q. all kinds
Of mental effectiveness, one
can further Subdivide the term
to include three main degrees
Of mental defect. These three
types are the idiot, the lowest
state of mentality; the imbecile,
the middle grade, and the mo-
ron, the highest grade.
Although all mentally defec.
tive individuals may be claSSed
as either idiotic, imbecilic or
moronic, many show certain
special features which entitle
them to special diagnoStic terms
in addition. -
For example, there are cases
where the head is markedly en-
larged due to what is popularly
known as water on the brain"
Scientifically speaking, such an
individual is suffering from
"hydrocephaluS." Yet this hy-
drocephalic individual may
either be a hydrocephalic idiot.
a hydrocephalic imbecile or a
hydrocephalic moron.

and he bid 3-Spades; B had no
possible reason for his bid Of

by z.
Wins the Trick
The opening lead was the
K OF hearts. Having won that
trick, and not wanting dummy
to ruff a heart. z led his Ace
of clubs, gaining his second
trick. Y felt that he could do
no harm by giving his partner
a "come-on," as if Y held the
missing @ of clubs, and he
played his 9. B did not ques-
ton the truth of Y'S statement
that he held the missing @,
but he saw a chance to dis
card a losing diamond from his
own hand, upon the K of clubs
in dummy, by giving Y a club
trick in case he held the @.
When z led his 6 of clubs,
dummy's j was fineSsed, and B
was surprised to find the
finesse hold the trick. Imme-
diately the K of clubs was led
back, and the declarer dis
carded his lowest diamond.
Dummy'S Ace of spades was
led, winning the fifth trick.
The 2 Of spades was led. When
T put up his 10, the declarer
played low, and rs K won the
trick. z was in a quandary.
How was his side to win the

defeat the contract! w..
Of the six tricks played,
each side had won three tricks.

trick. z has no more spades.

clarer will hold two good

in each hand, including the

lone trump. The declaring side
has no clubs; it has no losing
diamonds. The Ace Of hearts
lead will give the declaring side
one ruff; two spade tricks, two
heart tricks and two diamond
tricks.
If z leads q low heart the
declarer's 9 will win the trick.
B will lead back his Q Of
hearts, that must win the trick
unless z puts up his Ace. II

the remaining tricks, just as if
z had led his Ace of hearts.
What To Do
In case z leads a low dia-
mond the declarer's j will win
the trick, leaving dummy with
an established suit of four diar
mondS. All the declarer need
do is to pull Y's trump and all
tricks must be won by ABB.

dummy's K will win the trick,
and the Ace will win another

nshing the balance of the suit.
