Questions About Mexico.
Products of Land.

w YHAT fruits are raised in
M Mexico? A. The fruits in
v clude bananas, oranges, alli-
gator pears, custard apples
and guavas.
Custard apples grow in clusters on
palmlike trees. They are eaten raw,
and likewise are boiled and picked.
Alligator pears are of much the same
shape as common pears, but do not
have a sweet taste; usually they are
eaten in salads. Guavas are about the
size of small apples, and contain many
seeds; they are used in making jelly
and preserves.
@. What trees in Mexico are noted
for their size and age?
A. Cypress trees. Some have trunks
more than 80 feet thick and are be-
lieved to be at least 5000 years old. If
the estimate of age is correct, these
trees started to grow almost, If not
quite, as long ago as the Great Pyra-
mid of Egypt was built. A tunnel for
a railroad train might be cut through

Make Your Own Moral.
The catamount Is fierce and grim,
No sympathy exists in him;
He growls and bites
And snarls and fights
And preys on helpless creatures.
Forever he is plotting harm,
He steals the piglets from the farm;
Beyond doubt
He Is without
Attractive traits or features.
The fawn is filled with grace and charm
He does no brute or person harm;
He loves to browse
On tender boughs,
And bask beside the water.

MORE TRUTH THAN POETRY
BY JAMES ]. MONTAGUE.

In all his mild and gentle life
He never takes a part In strife,
His few years through
He does not do
A thing he hadn't oughter.
And yet the wild and no-account
And undetermined catamount,
Who fights and bites
And braWlS by nights
Whose ways are base and surly-
Lives on and on and on and on
The while the gentle, peaceful favn.
Poor helpless deer
Abides in fear,
And perishes too early.

Building Permits
Show Sharp Slump

Building permits issued in Bismarck
during the last fiscal year were for
structures valued at $4O,O34, including
alterations and improvements to ex-
listing properties, according to the an
nual report of Building Inspector M.
H. Atkinson.
The list includes four business and
public buildings. Is residences, six al
terations to residences and nine priv
ate garages.
The trend of the building industry
in Bismarck is indicated by a COM
parison of construction for 1888 with
that for previous years going back to
1929.
In that year building in Bismarck
reached peak with permits for struc-
lures valued at $705,125. In 1880 this
dropped to $653,l25; in 1881 to $780,
923 and in 1882 to $4,000.
The report shows that 233 new
homes have been built here in this
period, SO in the peak year of 1929.
The figures do not include permit
for the new capitol building, since
the state was not required to have a
permit for that structure. It's value
is not included in the official records
of construction in Bismarck.

saved the declarer. Dorothy
discarded two losing clubs on
the diamond suit, fulfilled her
contract. Wally had no oppor-
tunity to make good his Ace Of
Clubs. He had doubled on that
Ace; he said so viciously. When
he saw the score he said more.
Debt is Settled.

East made a reasonable open
ing bid of Heart, fourth hand.
Subsequent bidding went: South,
1-Spade; West, 2-Hearts; North,
3-Diamonds; East, 3-Hearts:
South, 4-Diamonds; West, pass;
North, 5-Clubs, to discover wheth'
er or not his partner preferred
that suit to diamonds; East, pass;
South, 5-diamonds, ending bid
ding. Had East and West bid
more they must have lost the
following tricks: One spade, one
or two diamonds, possibly a
heart, although II of the
suit obligated East to play his
Ace; certainly two clubs; this
would put East and West down
from two to four tricks.
From the bidding it was pos
sible that declarer or dummy
held the guarded K Of hearts,
while his partner held none. On
that account East led his K Of
Spades rather than lead his own
suit. Dummy's Ace won the
trick.
Having to lead trumps from
his own hand, the declarer led
a low club from dummy, won
the trick with his K, then he
led the Q of diamonds, captur-
ing East's K, and pulling all
of that suit down in two rounds.
He led dummy's @ and j Of
clubs, then gained entry to his
own hand by leading a trump.
Upon the declarer'S two long
clubs were discarded dummy'S
lone heart and one Of his low
spades.
Dummy ruffed the declarer's
only heart, then one spade trick
had to be given opponents, but
that gave the declaring side one
trick over their game contract.
While a small slam was made
it could not have been made had
so a high contract been bid, as
East doubtlessly would have led
his Ace of Hearts, and one
spade trick must also have been
lost.

Last week we started out
on a campaign Of finding in
expensive washable dresses,
with the intention of showing
them straight through the
week. But other things inter-
vened, so now we go back to
the campaign Of filling in early
wardrobes with the most prac-
tical things we can find, not
giving up good looks and
Smartness, of course. And as
the weather has continued
summery, we need those
clothes more than ever. We
need them for daily wear, as
well as for vacations.
Stripes to the Fore
Stripes and other patterns,
such as checks, plaids and dots,
have held their fashion i'm
portance through the whole
season. Often when they start
out with early popularity, they
die an equally early death, but
this year we are decidedly pat
tern-conscious, for they are
smarter now than ever. Moth
ing looks much better than
stripes for sports, and for
tailored clothes, and they're
even worn in the evening. So
if you haven't your quota Of
stripes, add one or two striped
costumes before you complete

Are You as Careful to Avoid
Accidents as You Think?
Thousands of lives are lost
through accidents each year.
We are cautioned to be care
full; safety First" slogans are
pasted everywhere. Yet this
useless, Senseless, avoid a Bile
slaughter of human beings
goes on!
Sheer, downright carelessness
is the primary cause of SO &C.
cidents out of every 100. But
what makes people carless?
What, specifically, my good
reader, makes you careless?
Suppose you test yourself out
on this point. You read in
train, let us say, that you are
taking your life in your own
hands if you jump off while
the train is still in motion. "A
sensible warning" you think.
"If people only would pay
more attention to it there
would be fewer accidents"
Then your thoughts drift to
other things. The train slows
up for the station. With other
passengers you start for the
door long before it is necessary.
Then somebody jumps off.
Scarcely without realizing it,
you follow!
In this little episode several
causes for accidents are to be
noted. One is unnecessary
hurry. Another is suggestion;
that is, initiating the foolhardy
acts of others. A third is know
ing better but not stopping to
think.
Have you ever asked your
self whether you are really as
careful to avoid accidents as
you might be?
For instance:
/. Do you wait for moving
vehicle to come to a full stop
before you get on or off?
2. Do you "jay-walk" or run
In front of automobiles?

obey the traffic signals?

hurrying needlessly?

Ex-COnvict
How must the convict breathe,

Between four walls pent up
from all the world,
Finds himself free, and walk

Are on the grass, above him
stars unfurled!
What heights on heights of Joy
his heart must climb!
What deeps on deeps of bliss
his soul must sound!
Each step unfettered, in itself
sublime,
He goes, a man again, un-,
watched unbound!
Once, years ago. I built grim
prison walls
Wherein for long in bondage I
remained;
I did not know. L thought
them pleasant halls
Where love would dwell and

But wisdom brings reprieve
