Legislature Not
e..
Likely to Reduce
Own Pay, Belief

RALEIGH. Jan. 24.--While the
present legislature has materially
reduced the number of its en-.
ployes and whack@d the salaries
of the remaining workers about
20 per cen, Indications arc that
the members viii nos seriously
consider cutting their own pay
unless thew remain here tor mo"c
than the 60-aay limit. Il is likely,
however. that the legislature viii
wind up its business within ap-
proxima' ely that length Of time
and go home.
The proposal to cut the pay Of
legislators came up in committee
when the question Of cutting the
salaries Of legislative employees
was decided. hut nothing was done
about it. The sugGcS ion was
made that the stipulated pay OF
$500 a session be altered. Several
members were willing to accept q
cut if the legislature should be in
session only 60 days, but were
against it should they have to stay
here longer. :,
Not all the legislators hold such
an attitude. There are some of
them who would he willing to
take a cut, and believe that it
would be a fine gesture. These
suggestions came largely from
members considered TO be the
most wealthy of the lot and who
have independent incomes. There
are others whom SO day means
a lot, and one member is under
stood to be drawing his $40 each
dav in the fear that the legislaA
tors may cut their own pay ana
make the cut retroactive. In such
event, he believes, the cut would
not affect his pay if he has al
ready drawn it.
The opinion prevails, however,
and the activities Of the legisla-
tive body so far indicate that it
is not without the realm of proba-
bility, that the legislators will
conclude their business in Raleigh
within the allotted 60 days. The
possibility exists that if they are

Illusion;
One of Houdini's most spectacular escape feats
was performed with huge milk can filled with
water. He invited persons of the audience to bring
padlocks and lock him into the can. He got into the
can, the lid was put on and fastened with several
padlocks. A screen was placed in front of the can.
Assistants stood by'with stop watches and fire axes
to save him from drowning after certain time.
About a minute later the screen was removed,
Houdini seen painting and dripping. the
padlocks remaining intact! ....'
EXPLANATIONS: ...
The usual method of escaping from milk can is
as follows: The lid of the can is apparently secure
y padlocked to the lower portion, but actually the
metal band to which the staples attached is the
top of short inner lining. The performer, after
being locked into the can, pushes the lid upward
with his head and the short inner lining is forced
out of place. permitting his escape. The screen is
then removed.

times you will have enough secondary
values In your hand to make 1t clear
that your partners slam try marks him
with all that is needed for Tx no
trumps. In that event. bid It yoursek
Immediately. Your partner has an
nounced possession Of (a) an ace; (b)
q second ace or q king queen holding:
(c) a third primary trick. You your
self have at least three and q half pri-
mary tricks for your opening bid, assum-
ing that you now accept the slam try.
The slam almost surely depends on ad-
ditional intermediates. II you have
them, incorporate them in your accept
ance; If you lack them but can never
theless accept the slam try, leave 1t to
your partner to go on to the slam If he
supplies the filters which you have
denied.
T. If responder has made the three
no-trump slam try with no more than
the minimum justification for it. and
his partner bids four In a suit, re-
sponder must not pass, even with four
to q top honor In that suit He must
either raise the suit or, lacking the
trump support, bid four no trumps.
Opener may still have some reserve
values, and the decision whether to

Grand Slams
Grand slams will result from this
bidding only II opener has a very strong
hand, 50 that he can Immediately know
that there Is no ace against the
hand and that there will be, at worst,
a simple finesse for seven, with a
chance of not needing that flnesse If
things go normally In other respects.
For instance, II you have bid no
trump on

and your partner bids three, now you
know he has the missing ace and also
K-Q Of spades and diamonds, but no
conceivable rebid values that he can
know to be such.
The gamble therefore is whether you
can throw of your losing club. If his
four card suit is either Of the majors
you will get your discard If that suit
breaks If it is diamonds or clubs. you
will presumably need q f1nesse in clubs,
and must hope that your partner has
the queen of clubs or else J 10, cards
which he could not include in his bid
ding If you bid six, hoping he could 60
to seven. The grand slam would thus
be a pretty fair chance. With A 4 ]
in clubs the f1nesse Is already provided
and the grand slam must be bid. With
the hand as printed. decide whether to
bid six or seven no trumps according
to your position in the rubber or tourna-
ment or according to whether your close
decisions had been right or wrong on
that particular day-whether boldness
or caution had seemed to prevail. Call
it a hunch decision with slightly better
than even chances in your favor, II you

hearts, a four-card suit held by the
opening no-trump bidder and never
mentioned by him until after three no
trumps had been bid. I feel that this
hand considered in conjunction with
nv earlier articles and examples OF
similar suit bids made by the respond
ing hand in accepting no-trump slam
try, will suffice to illustrate this phase
of bidding. I will conclude with
brief summary of the essential points.
Summary of Preceding Rebid.
When you bid no trump as dealer or
in second position and your partners
response Is three no trumps. he is max
ing q slam try. However, you must as
sumo that he still needs some further
information from you. Cooperate with
him as follows
/. With a minimum hand of not more
than two aces and not more than three
and half primary tricks pass. Do so
even with a biddatle four-card suit;
your decision at this point is based on
primary values.
2. With either three aces in three
and-a-hah primary trick hand, or with
a four primary trick hand, though pos
sessing less than three aces, accept the
slam by bidding four no trumps if you
cannot bid suit, or by bidding four in
a suit if you have a four-card suit
headed by two of the top three honors.
That is what I mean by "biddable" in
this particular situation.
g. With greater reserve value in ex-
cess of your requirements for bidding q
no-trump, take the strain of your part
ner when justified in doing so. Some

That Body of Yours
Painful Feet.
BY JAMES W. BARTON, NJ. D.

0NE of the things hard to under
" stand is that when there is pain
of any kind, anywhere in the feet,
great many people think that the use
of foot arches, arch supports, Is the
best method of relieving the condltlon
Now there is a real need for foot
supports in some cases OF nat feet, ana
where needed they make life much
more bearable, but the use OF these
supports where they are not needed not
only does positive harm to the feet, but
prevents the proper treatment for the
real ailment that is causing the trouple
What about painful feet2
It is now agreed that most cases
Of painful feet are due to arthritis-
rheumatism in turn is due to
some infection from teeth, tonsils, gall
bladder or. intestines. The treatment
here is the removal Of the infection.
Another cause is strain OF the
muscles and ligaments due to over
use Of the feet in dancing, walking
running, golfing, or other exercise, and
the treatment here is simply rest.
However there are great many
cases due to fiat feet, and the correc-
ton of fiat feet will bring about relief.
How can you know that your feet
are really fiat?
In examining iCCi ulL AL ONSAcSssAS
service we simply had him walk about
the armory floor few steps. in his
bare feet, and he then kneeled down
and the dirt on the soles Of his feet
gave a perfect outline of the arch.
The arch would be quite clean, as 1t
hadn't touched the floor. Ordinarily the
arch part or clean portion should be
from one-haf to twothirds the width
of the foot
If the whole sole Of the foot was
black from the dirt on the floor, or II
the arch or clean portion was very
narrow, then the recruit was rejected
for first-class service, on account OF
FIAT feet"
what can be done to correct nat feet
that are not 50 fat that they need
arch supports?
DIR. J. G. Elsom, Madison, Wis, sug-
sests the following exercises:
Q) Walk correctly; toes pointing
forward. not outward.
CO As home exercises, walk few
steps whenever and wherever possible
on the outer sides of the feet When
sitting down, cross the feet.
60 Walk along an imaginary line,
the right foot stepping over on the left
side Of the line, and the left foot over
the right side.
An these exercises strengthen the
"grip" muscles Of the foot and hence
raise the arch upward.

The Lost Tail.

1HE moving machine Of Farmer
Brown was cutting the grass on
the Green Meadows for hay to
i fill the mows of the great barn.
The whirr and clatter OF 1t was
warning the little people who lived IN
the grass that it was best for them to
get out Of the way and there was
great deal of frightened scurrying on
their part to find hiding places where
they would be safe from those deadly
knives that laid the grass In long sweet
smelling rows.
It was still a long way from the
snug home Of Danny and Nanny Mead
ow Mouse, but already they were un-
easy. They were remembering things
that had happened other years when
the grass was cut.
Il wonder If Cousin Nimbleheels the
humping Mouse is living on the Green
Meadows this year. I remember what
happened to a brother Of his once long
ago, and I guess he does, too," said
Danny.
Nanny.
He didn't get out of the way Of that
thing cutting the grass" replied Danny;
"Oh, how dreadful! Was he k1lled?'
cried Nanny.
NO" replied Danny. mo, he wasn't
killed. He lost his beautiful long tail"

he lost" said practical Nanny. II could
