AFTER SIXTH
HOUSE BLAZE
Shenandoah Firemen Called
Twice in One Night to
ExtinguiSh Flames

SHENANDOAH, Va. Nov. 49,
Page county authorities today are
seeking the incendiary who twice
last night set fire to a vacant
house here owned by Gilbert J.
Strickler, president Of the First
National Bank and a member Of
the county board of supervisors.
The same house had been fired
four times previously within two
years, and Mr.. Strickler believes
either a crazed or a drunken man
is responsible. He insists he has
no enemies.
The house was discovered
ablaze at IL o'clock last night.
The local fire department had
about put the blazt out when
someone cut off the water. The
men turned it back on and fin
ished the job.
Two hours later the no Sc was
fired again, an6 the blaze once
more was put out. Each time a
man was seen running from the
building, and oil-soaked rags were
found.

sponse to any given bid is also
shown.
Ely Culbertson, wizard Of con.
tact, heartily indorses the bidder,
and many of the better players in
local bridge circles highly indorse
its use for the novice.
Since the Shur-Win Bridge
bidder is based on the popular
approach-forcing system, it is only
natural that The Times should
arrange with a graduate of the
Culbertson system to give the
free lessons which are being
offered. To that end, Lucille
Claire Smith, noted in Wash.
ington as a skilled player
and an able teacher, has been
engaged to set forth the rudi-
ments of correct bidding at the
Willard Hotel, to every pur-
chaser Of one of the Shur.Win
bidders. Her next lesson will be
held Tuesday, November 20, at
II a. m. and, after discussing
various bridge problems, she will
demonstrate the bidder.
AS yet, the bidders can only
be had at the office of The
Times, 1917 H st. N. w., at so
cents each or for SIS cents where
mailing is necessary.

INDIAN ILLS
Times Staff Photo

Since Columbus discovered
America the Indians have con-
tracted a number of the white
mans diseases and deformities,
and the year 1892 was an unlucky
one for the red man, says DR..
Ales Hrdlicka, noted anthropolog-
ist Of the Smithsonian Institu-
ton.
DR.. Hrdlicka, In an article in
the Journal of the American
Medical Association, tells Of the
study of thousands Of skeletons
Of pre-Columbian Indians and
those of modern Indians, DR..
Hrdlicka finds that the red man
of several centuries ago had no
rickets, tuberculosis, smallpox,
plague, typhus, cholera or
measles. Cancer was rare.
Even broken bones were rare
and there were not foot trou-
bles, he says, adding:
Before America was discOv-
cred it was one Of theft not
the mOst-healthful continents.
Many diseases were brought in
by the white man."

Bidders which The Times is dis

This bidder is a novel device
which gives the holder the correct
bid for any bridge hand. and,
when it is remembered that there
are approximately $4,000, 900 posi-
BILE combinations of cards which
go to make those bridge hands,
one can readily appreciate the
