Secretary, American Bridge League
 Miss Eleanor Murdoch, who with her partner Mrs Vivi Hanson, holds the national womens contract pair title, is ranked as one of the great est women bridge playes in the country.
 The opportunity for brilliant plays usually lie with the declar- CT who can manipulate the cards for. d squeeze, a coup or an end play, but @ real player has the ability to properly execute defense plays as well. The following hand is a clever battle of wits but the sterling defense of Miss Murdoch and her partner finally defeated the declarer's contract one trick.

A Silly PROPOSAL

The silliest proposal of the season,
quite clearly, is the bill introduced in
congress the other day to put the ter
ritory of Hawaii under military con-
troll, with rulership vested in a gov
ernor chosen either from the army's
generals or the navy's admirals.
To anyone who has reviewed the
tragic Massie case effectively, it is
fairly apparent that fundamental
cause Of the trouble there was the la
mentable fact that civilians and mill
tary people do not always get along
we'll together when they are placed in
close proximity. There is an age-old
rivalry between the two groups, which
probably dates way back to the days
of Roman garrison towns in ancient
Gaul. It seems to be inevitable.
Putting Hawaii under strict military
control would intensity that rivalry
many fold. A better way Of making
the islands question the value of their
American citizenship could hardly be
imagined.

Of a popular vote by the students Is,
of course, obviously impossible. Many
considerations other than those which
are sound and proper might enter into
their decision.
And yet, there is reason to believe
that the student is the best Judge of
teaching capacity. If he finds 1t in
teresting and easy to learn from one
man, difficult and boresome to learn
from another, the former is the bet
ter teacher, no matter what the num-
Der Of degrees either may claim.
To college men of another day it
may seem just little bit forward on
the part of the students to be making
comment on the conduct OF the uni
versitys affairs. and yet it may be q
good thing. Perhaps, when these
young men and women reach the
point where they will be placed in
charge of the university or some sim
liar institution, as they or their fell
lows certainly will be some day, we
may see developed a system whereby
the ideas of students are consulted
about a teachers capacity.

German Immigrants

A recent dispatch from Berlin points
out that Brazil and Argentina have
installed stringent immigration re-
strictions, and that now there is hard
ly a country anywhere willing to re-
ceive settlers from Germany.
A few years ago great streams Of
people passed through Hamburg an
nually, bound for lands Of promise
beyond the seas. For long time the
United States was their goal; the pre-
war German colonies took many of
them, too, and since the war the two
great South American countries men,
toned above absorbed thousands of
them.
But now they, have no place to go;
and it is just possible that someone is
making a mistake. These German i'm
migrants are about as fine type of
settler as any country could wish;
law-abiding, intelligent, industrious
and thrifty, they make excellent citi-
zens. Is there no country on earth
that could use people of that kind?

The COuzenS Example

The discovery that Senator James
Couzens of Michigan has most of his
big fortune invested in tax-exempt
securities seems to have aroused pub
lie interest chiefly because his recent
proposals for higher income taxes
would not have affected his own in
come so very much.
But there is, after all, something
more significant about it.
Senator Couzens sold his bank,
railroad and corporation stocks when
he entered the senate-in order that
he could pass upon legislation af-
fecting corporations without being
influenced in his personal invest
ments.
That, when you stop to think about
it, is exactly what every public serv-
ant ought to do. No lawmaker should
have monetary interest in any busi-
ness which can be affected by laws
that he makes. But few lawmakers
besides Senator Couzens seem to have
recognized the fact.

THE SEVERAL DEGREES or
IMMUNITY


In view of the probability that YOU
have many other readers entertain
ing ideas similar to mine IN this re.
spect, writes our Chicago reader, may
I suggest that you write an article
dealing specifically with an explatla.
ton as to how varying degrees d
immunity could exist without resist
ance? Although am only what you
would probably consider a more than
usually dumb layman your writings
about immunity versus resistance in
trigue me and I always believed you
up to the point where you began To
tell of various degrees Of immunity
To my small mind it seems that II q
person is only partly immune that in
itself implies there must be some sort
OF resistance. Either that Is true OF
else I do not know enough about the
English language to understand the
meaning of the two words. - wv.
r. o.
That's the way I like 'ern-diffident,
dumb and docile.
The term used to express the idea
is immaterial. In scientific writing
or speaking it is customary to call
it immunity. If anybody prefers I'd
call it resistance, that Is all right.
The only point am trying to make
clear is that we know immunity can
happen, but we do not know and can
not determine in any instance wheth-
Ter an individual has resistance. When
you can neither define nor detect nor
measure a hypothetical factor you
are justified in doubling that it ex-
lists. That's my argument all COM
plete. I doubt that there is any such
condition or influence as resistance.
AS this idea of resistance Is con-
ceived by the old fogies in medical
and public health literature, it is baf-
flingly intangible and has no specific
application. They just conjure up
some vague state Of resistance that
protects the lucky son Of a gun who
happens to have it from all and sun
dry maladies that are going around.
OF course that is a ridiculous fancy;
but how is the poor uneducated lay
in elementary ply
|siology and pathology-to see the alb
surdity of it when the eminent health
authority solemnly warns him about
keeping his resistance up?
Perhaps the best explanation I can
make for the different degrees of i'm
munity is to remind you of the para
BILE of the seed which fell on stony
ground and the seed which fell on
good ground. The ground has vari-
Gus degrees of fertility or Of barren
ness. Ground in which the seed
grows poorly has a degree of immu-
nifty, or call it resistance If you pre-
fer, against that particular seed.
So far as my share in 1t Is con-
Icerned, this controversy has one pur-
pose-to make it clear to the layman
that immunity is always specific, that
is, it applies to particular disease
and to that disease only, and it is
never, so far as we know, of general
chararter such as the somewhat be-
fuddled old timers would have you
imagine their hackneyed good re-
Sistance" is.
When we think of immunity we
must think of it in reference to ty-
phoid fever, or to diphtheria, or to
smallpox, or to scarlet fever. Just as
soon as we become at all vague about

BOOs and Cheers in New York
tMinneapolis Tribune)


The crowd which cheered Jimmy
Walker and booed Judge Seabury in
New York on Wednesday probably ex-
emplifted as perfectly as any crowd
could the American attitude toward
law.
The ladies and gentlemen who hug
Zahed for the mayor cared not a boot
that he is at the head of corrupt,
grating T a mmany administration
which the Hofstadter committee, un-
der the able direction of Judge Sea-
bury, has mercilessly exposed.
What it did care several boots about,
however, was the fact that Mayor
Walker is personable, democratic,
wise-cracking politician who speaks
the language of the crowd, wears
swell cravats and shirts in pastel
shades, organizes beer parades, kisses
the elderly mother of Tom Mooney
and generally shares with Tammany
Hall the common, human touch.
The mob Of several thousand, on
the other hand, gave the raspberry to
Judge Seabury because his committee
has been making it intentionally hot
for the popular Mr.. Walker and his
reprobate gang of tin box Tammany-
ties. That the judge has spent months
uncovering the rottenness of an ad-
ministration which has Saddled the
city with graft and inefficiency and
that Mr.. Walker. whether personally
innocent of wrong or not. is largely
responsible for that administration,
was Of no concern whatever to the
crowd. theoretically, of course. the
Walker-c heerers were unalterably OPP
posed to the corruption that bleeds a
city white and theoretically the Sea-
bury booers were heartily in favor Of
getting to the bottom of a disgraceful
civic situation, but as a matter Of
harsh and brutal fact, they were per-
fectly willing to let emotion run away
with reason. There was sentimental
shoft-crcuit. somewhere along the
line, and it was Mr.. Seabury, and not
the mayor. who felt the shock of pub
lie disapproval.
The crowd which milIed about the
courthouse in New York on Wednes-
day typified the American attitude to-
ward law because prejudice obscufed
It's vision, and personalities OUT
weighed its principles. 1t was not 50
much against Judge seabIry because
he happered to have challenged nlu-
nicipai corruption q It was for Jimmy
Walker because he happened to be
popular. It i such caprice, in the
last analysis, which undermines au-
thority and leaves the law, In this
country, upon the shifting sands Of
sentiment.

The Pony Sale

Women of Bismarck and other cit
les and towns throughout the land,
who are devoting their time today to
selling the little red peoples made by
soldiers in our veterans hospitals, de-
serve the thanks of the public more
than of the disabled veterans them
selves.
For, as they smilingly offer their
brave bits Of decoration for our Ia
pels, they also give mute reminder
that, in many places in this land,
there are men who need thoughtful
care and loving hands.
In the rush and worry of our own
business, most of us are too busy to
give much thought to these poor un-
fortunates, washed up on the shores
of suffering and distress by the ruth
less flood of war. Or at least we
think we are.
If We do think of them, it probably
Is to thank our lucky stars that their
fate has been spared us and that we,
too, are not condemned to lie on beds
Of pain for the rest of the years al

But these women, offering peoples
for sale, serve to remind us of it and
to tell us, better than words possibly
could do, that the least we can do to
recognize the suffering of the dis
abled of the World war is to buy a
poppy made by their hands.
They serve a further purpose, too
They let us know that everyone has

New York, May 28.-The immediate
after effect of Manhattan's impress

When, in celebrant mood, after the
