WASHINGTON-One of the first things new members of Congress find out when they come to Wash ington is the secret of having their remarks extende din the Congress sional Record.
 It is one of the most valuable lessons they learn. More than one political life has been prolonged through this privilege. All of them -old members as well as new regard it as their most valuable assets.
 Many speeches calculated to pro- duce votes back home would die a-borning if it were not possible for a Isenator or representative to re wise and extend"
 Once printed in the Record it becomes official may be reprinted and distributed at will under the Congressmen's frank. Mailed out to the voters, such material is con- .vincing if silent evidence that Congressman Soandso" is on the
 job and working hard. EaysHsl I Big Year Ahead Judging from the manner in
 which revising and extending
 was practiced the first few days of the present session, a banner year
 for this business is in prospect. This year is campaign year. These chaps elected in November
 1880 have been drawing a salary
 for a long time without having much opportunity to make a show ing. Of course, it hasn't been their
 fault. Cognress had not been in session
 | However, it is necessary for the folks back home to be given some thing to "chew on" if the member expects them to return him this year. So they've gotten busy. | Radio talks, speeches made be- fibre various organizations and the like are now being put in the Rec
 ord for distribution. Many of these speeches were made before con-
 gress convened, but then they are valuable and can be made to serve "a purpose.
 II Thus one Congressman gets per
 mission to insert radio speech he made back home on Our Country's Navy"
 H Some Rejected Il Another brings forth his Sleep Hing Money-PostAl Savings to the
 Rescue" Still another seemingly goes a bit afield with his coltribu-
 tion, speech delivered before 6 religious gathering-"The Spirit o1
 1.-the Master-A Layman's Impress
 sion of Jesus of Nazareth"
 These are just a few, but are typ. lical.
 Of course, not everything offered |gets by. In both House and Senate |there are watchdogs of the Recore 'Ilw1ao make it a business to heat |some of the bretheren off. Under. lhill of Massachusetts, attends to i ,in the House. Smoot of Utaf watches it in the Senate.
 But most of 'em get what they IEwant, regardless

The Bidding.

The Bidding.
 South has a good no trump dis tribution. While would not se- cerely criticize a player for open ing the hand with one no trump, I prefer the bid of one diamond. It gives your partner a splendid opportunity to make one over one while opening bid of one no trump is more or less a pessimistic bid. i
 After south's one diamond bid, West should pass. North, having the required one and one-haf tricks and biddable suit, bids one spade. This bid of one spade over one diamond Is a one over one, and while 1t ia not Q game demand bid, it requires South to re-bid. East would pass and South, although he holds the jack. ten and one spades, has not quite normal support and his proper re- sponse would be two no trump. North's best response Is three spades which South would carry to four spades.
 I .The Play.
 East's opening lead would be the king of clubs-the correct opening from 8 king-queen. The trick would be won in dummy with the ace. Unfortunately many players would now make the mis- take of leading trump, anxious to take that fnesse to try and pick up the king. This would imme- diately defeat the declarer's contract as East would win with the king. East and West would then cash two good club tricks and the ace of hearts, defeating the declarer one trick.
 Now if the declarer takes a short time he can count these losers and can see that unless a home Is found for at least one of them, his game is lost. And he does have a place for one-son a diamond.
 Instead of playing trump, the small diamond should be led from dummy and won by declarer with the ace. The deuce of diamonds should be returned and won in dummy with the queen. The king of diamonds should then be play ed and Q club discarded from the declarer's hand.
 The declarer can now safely lead his jack of spades and take the finesse, as all he must lose in addition to the spade is one heart and one club.
 Not a difficult play, but a hand at which the careless player would Scopyrisht. 1882, NEA Service 1nc)

 The beginner at bridge loses altogether too many games simply because he will not stop to count his losers. Take your time on the first trick-try to reason the hand out-count up your losing tricks and if they jeopardize your game, try to find a home for them. This point Is well illustrated by today's hand,

Islands Once Peopled
bv Races of Indians

Before the arrival of the white man
in the West Indies, the inhabitants Of
the islands consisted almost entirely
Of two branches Of the American In
dian race, the Arawaks and the Caribs.
These had made their way from the
South American mainland, through
the whole chain OF the Antilles as far
as the Bahamas. The Caribs had come
later and had ousted the Arawaks
from all of the Lesser Antilles and
from some of the larger islands. The
Caribs were warlike and aggressive,
full agriculturists, with well-develOped
arts. The people of the Bahamas
called themselves Yucayos and the
chief tribe Of Cuba was the Ciboneys,
these also being branches Of the Amer
lean Indian race.
Old records declare that Haiti had
over million inhabitants. The forced
labor demanded by the Spanish con-
Querors, together with the actual mas
sacres and war losses, practically
wiped out the native population Of
Haiti, Cuba and other islands in less
than a century. The importation Of
negro slaves began as early as 1905, at
first for the mines and later for the
plantations, and Haiti became FREEDOM
inantly negro. Part Of the island had
become a French colony during the
Seventeenth century, and the outbreak
of the French revolution led to the
proclamation of universal freedom in
1893 A few years later the Haitians,
former negro slaves, declared their in
dependence of France and successfully
maintained 1t against the French
forces.

Nothing Modern About
Workings of Vitamins

knowledge of the vitamins is not
MODERN" DR.. Ruth F. Wadsworth
writes in Golfers. ut is as old as
prisons and sailing vessels; older
than Columbus, and probably contem-
porary with Noah. 1t is only the
name which Is new.
"We owe the rather boring syste-
matiZation Of the vitamins-their
classification and naming as Vitamin
A, B, G. D, E, and soon f and G-to
the experimental method which has
crept upon medicine in the last 40
years.
"How the Elizabethans arrived at
the knowledge that lemons would pre-
vent scurvy I don't know. 1 think it
is probable that they stumbled onto
that fact because lemons were easy
to carry and to keep and could be
given in the form of juice to the sail
ors, without a lot Of fuss. Our pres
ent-day knowledge tells US that scurvy
is caused by a lack of vitamin C,
which is found in oranges and lemons
and tomatoes and apples and ba-
nanas."

100000. Among all the languages Of
the world, Chinese is spoken by the
largest number, about 400,0O0,000 If
the various dialects are included. Doc
tor Vizetelly's figures, as given in the
World almanac, are rather different.
He gives English as spoken by 160,-
100000 and understood and used by
60,000,000 more who do not consider it
their native speech; German spoken

Coal Age ''Reproduced'

A restoration of the Coal age with
it's luxuriant carboniferous forests and
strange primeval animal life Of over
250000000 years ago is on exhibition
at the Field Museum of Natural His
tory, Chicago.
The exhibit represents a landscape
Of the so-called Pennsylvania period
when the land flora of the paleozoic
era was reaching its elimination in
vast swamps that covered much Of the
territory then raised above the sea in
the northern hemisphere.
In Europe and in northern Asia, as
well as in North America, these for
ests gave rise in the course of time
to the enormous accumulations Of
plant materials that now constitute
the worlds principal coal beds.

Denominational Ravens

Are ravens religious? Apparently
the army thinks that they are. There
are four ravens at the tower Of Lon
don which are regarded as ION the
strength" Of the Guards battalion on
duty there. And as Tommy Atkins re-
ligion is recorded, so is that Of the
ravens. One is reckoned as Church Of
England, one as Roman Catholic, the
third as Free Church, and the fourth
as General" Whether they turn out
for church parade-and never make a
mistake and parade with the wrong
denomination-is not quite certain
