a matter of fact, this Is myth, for
the flesh Of the dolphin is tender and
delicious and considered excellent food.
The family to which the dolphins be-
long includes the porpoises, grampuses
and killer whales and they are really
toothed whales They are widely dis
tributed, are great travellers and are
to be found in midocean as well as in
more shallow water.
These fishes are well known on our
coast from the Carolinas to Texas and
sometimes are seen as far north as
Cape Cod Being swift swimmers,
dolphins follow in the wake of boats
and are observed throughout all trop-
ical waters as well as temperate ones.
Their practice of swimming close to
the surface of the water makes them
easily seen. The boats they follow
often run into great schools of flying

These are canny fishes and when the
boat has disturbed happy school of
flying fish they. poor things, not know
ing what in the world is after them,
take to the air.
A flying fish really does not fly. The
tail is a mighty propeller that strikes
the water a powerful blow, which sends
the fish high into the air. The great
fms are held straight out from the
sides and at first it does strike you that
the fish is really flying. What goes up
must come down. The flying fish has

hand to play, since your partner could
not either bid spade or two no trumps
or two in some minor suit as his first
response, bid four hearts and show the
way to soundness and safety.
Fourth. Keep in mind that 5-4-2-2 is
always q bad distribution for no-trump
play and steer the contract away from
no trumps when your holdings are in
this pattern-unless, Of course, both
dcubletons are strong-A @ and K J, or
something like that. In that case, how
ever, your hand Is likely to be too
strong as a whole for a sign-off re-
Spouse, and you should be able to bid
four no trurnps or bid your four-card
suit constructively. II, however, the
two strong doubletons are offset by
weakness In ether your five-card suit
or your four-card suit, or both, then
again your safety will surely be in the
five-card major suit rather than no
truInps, as If your suit or suits may re-

quire a finesse or two to clear them, the
time factor is likely to be against you
in no trurnps, whereas in trump dec
laration you will be in control of the
timing because you can ruff these short
suits.
Fifth. In rubber play, think first and
last of the safety of your game con-
tract. On this bidding, four in a major
suit is generally more of self-playing
proposition than three no trumps, so
allow for the playing angle little. 1t
is in tournaments that we try so hard
to play hands in no trumps when we
expect to make as many tricks in no
trumps as in the suit. Not only the
game, but the score for the overtrickS
must be considered in match point scor-
ing. Never let match point angle
induce you to take pointless risk, in
rubber or total-point play.

How 1t Started
BY JEAN NEWTON.

We all use the word "scruple" in
speaking of the dictates of our con-
science as we'll as derivative like
"scrupulous," without thought of what
there might be of interest in its hard
syllables. So we pass by door. which,
opened. reveals a colorful little Ian
guage story.
A "scruple of conscience, and "scru-
pulous cleanliness or "scrupulous hon.
esty" all bark back to a littis sharp
stone! For that is the meaning OF Sic
Latin "scrupulous," whence we have the
word.
From "a little sharp stone" the term
came to be used for any annoyance,
among which was that of the prickings
of conscience! Hence our scruples.

Sigh of Relief.
Though I frequently angle for pleasure
My knowledge of fishes is slight,
And therefore thought.
What I always was taught,
That fishes are not very bright.
And because they proved wiser than ]
was
When I tried a few out with fly,
Although thick in the wit
They appeared quite bit
Mote clever and wiser than I.
But lately read in paper
That fish behave only like fools
A fact quite well known
When they don't swim alone,
But travel, as men do, in schools.
The old mob psychology gets them,
And though with shrewd brains
they're endowed,
They forget all they know
And in consequence go
Along with the mad, milling crowd.

MORE TRUTH THAN POETRY

For the fish I've endeavored TO hook

They made me their sport and their

FINE APPOINTMENTS, ALL.

There will be well nigh unanimous approval m Southeast Alaska of the appointments Just an nonced by Judge George F. Alexander TOT court positions under him. All of those selected by nm are good citizens, Alaskans of the first water competent and capable and women in whose hands the business of the public will be honestly and efficiently administered.
 Robert E. Coughlin for Clerk of Court, J. F. Mullen United States Commissioner of the Juneau Precinct and E. c. Austin, United States Com missioner at Ketchikan, are the three ot1lcerS Who will come into direct contact with the general public Their duties involve contacts with almost everybody in the Division in all walks Of life All three are unusually well qualified for their posts In the more minor positions, Miss Pugh for Deputy Clerk of Court, John H. Newman for Court Re- porter Frank Botelho, Bailff and Acting Court Librarian and H R. Shepard for Jury Commissioner, the selections are not less satisfactory Although a Democrat herself and of Democratic family MISS Pugh has held that position for several years and brings to the office a familiarity with the work and an experience that will be invaluable. MT Newman has also heretofore occupied the position to which he was appointed and his selection, having the endorsement of the local bar, ought to De pleasing to all. MT Botelho is capable and popular resident of this city. He has proved his worth to the Democratic Party on many occasions
 The position of Jury Commissioner is more or less honorary It involves little work and even less financial returns Judge Alexander could have chosen no one whose Republicanism is more firmly established none so worthy whom to bestow that slight honor than MT. Shepard, who has always filled all many positions of trust he has held with credit to himself and satisfaction to those whom he served.

the only to show a cooperative spirit. Nor could anything be suggested that would satisfy the other three great exporters-Canada, Argentina and Australia, even though the United States made number of conciliatory concessions. On the i'm porting side none except Great Britain and Austria tried to assist
 This was what led to Secretary Wallace fixing deadine as of August A by which time, If no settlement had, this country would proceed on its own wheat program without regard for any other nation If no international bargain were reached the Government would at proceed to unload some of its vast holdings in the Orient which would have been to the obvious disadvantage of Australia and possibly Canada
 This threat apparently produced results. At any rate on thte deadline date, the wheat producing and consuming nations accepted the major restric- ton proposals and international accord more is established on that problem.

PLAIN SPEAKING GETS RESULTS.

Again where the polite terms of diplomacy failed to make progress plain speaking has brought about the desired results This time it occurred in the negotiations between the United States and Is other wheat growing nations of the world looking toward agreement on the curtailment of wheat acre. age This movement was an outgrowth Of the London Economic Conference and, after protracted debate among the wheat producers and consumers, Secretary Henry A. Wallace some weeks ago, lost patience and warned that unless some arrangement was concluded, the United States would proceed along purely nationalistc lines to solve it's part of the problem. He warned in that case our cut would be less than the 10 per cent decided upon and the United States would immediately launch a movement to subsidize the marketing of some of it's holdover supply of wheat the world particularly in the Orient.
 Australia had been the most stubborn of the foreign group. For most of the period consumed in the negotiations, the Danube countries and Russia

'The Little Fellow Does His Part
(Port Angeles NeWs.)

One of the things the National Recovery Act destined to do is make straight-out test of the comparative degrees of social Responsibility and public spirit possessed by small industries and large ones.
 So far, it must be admitted that most of the palms have been by the little fellows
 Speaking generally, it is the little fellow who hase shown the greater readiness to sign up under the blue eagles Drive down any business street you like in big city or in small towns and you will see that heartenng banner prominently dis played in the windows of small shops little res taurants tiny garages and sma-scale manufacturing establishments The little business man has come forward, with a gratifying promptness-and, for the most part he has been scrupulous in living up to the terms of his agreement.
 Unfortunately, not quite as much can be said for the big fellow.
 This is not said to take anything away from those giant concerns which have already got into line with the MIRA policies. Many have done so and their action has been in the highest degree praseworthy. But many of them unfortunately have not; and the headaches suffered by MIRA of ficals at Washington have arise chiefly because of the biggest industries in the land have shown themselves surprisingly stiff-necked about it.
 Now it hasn't been an easy thing for the little fellow to get his blue eagle In many cases it is of sacrifice for him to raise wages and short en working hours than it is for the big fellow for the simple that labor costs are proportion ately larger on his budget than they on the big fellows.
 The chap who runs for instance, shoe repair shop, and boosts the number of his workers from two to three under the MIRA code, is quite likely to have to operate at loss for time; and if he does the money must come right out of his own pocket, and not out of pile of cash reserves tucked away in some bank.
 Yet it is the little fellow who seems to be leading the way right He hasn't talked indignantly about constitutional limitations, or his time -honored open shop policies, or his duty to his stockholders He has rolled up his sleeves and gone
 in there to pitch, and he has done it without much coaxing.
 If large-scale industry wants to justify its dom-
 nant position in America, it must demonstrate that it possesses social conscience in the measure as the little fellow possesses it.
