There is a constant conflict between
the hero in US and the coward in us.
Unfortunately this conflict begins in
youth and equally unfortunately it
does not pass from US as we go into
manhood. 1t is a life long struggle
"a constant battle. Courage is a
mental attribute which only occasion
ally appears in the form of physical
bravery. Moral courage is in itself
not spectacular. In fact, some forms
Of it are decidedly drab and dull be-
cause of the accompanying routine.
There is an unwritten law among
seamen to the effect that all calls of
distress from a sister ship must be
answered and that every possible aid
must be given. Duty requires that
sailors and officers go out to the dis
tressed ship but it does not require
them to come back. They are obliged
to make an honest attempt at the res
cue but they are not censored if the
attempt fails. In like manner the
parents who send you to school ex-
pect you to make an honest effort to
succeed but they do not condemn you
If in all fairness you have not meas
ured up to their full expectations. A
conscientious and courageous attempt
may be expected logically of you; the
results of such attempts are accepted
by parents and teachers without blame
or malice. There can be no ill will
toward the individual who has made
an effort commensurate with the abil-
ity, no matter how far below the pres
cribed standard he may fall.
Finally, loyalty designates the viz
tue that gives personality. 1t is the
sinew and fiber of honest living and
absolute integrity. A brilliant mind
is not necessarily the mark of a great
personality. Napoleon described
Talleyrand as "a silk stocking full of
mud" Aaron Burr graduated from
Princeton University with the highest
honors ever conferred by that insti-
tuition upon any graduate. George
Washington was man of average
brain power, but he exercised great
fidelity in the trusts imposed upon
him. He was honest with himself and
with all people which meant nothing
more than being loyal to his ideals
and to the institutions that had right
full claims upon his fidelity. Loyalty
to your home, to your school, to your
church, to your country, and to your
employer, these are the means through
which you will be measured and evalu-
ated as citizen and as member of
society in general.
Success when honestly and fairly
measured represents something a man
is and not something man has. 1t
is what we make out of life rather
than how we make a living. The re-
search worker in the laboratory may
be a greater factor in the success of a
manufacturing corporation than the
man who is president of the company.
1t is all matter of what we do and
how we'll we succeed in making effec-
tive our creative talents. 1t is not
enough to acquire positions but it is
also necessary to hold them. There is
no greater incentive for honest effort
and effective endeavor than the hope
that we may eventually succeed. The
expectation that you may be more
successful and accomplish greater

Conquering Contract
BY P. HAL SIMS

| first trick. This hand illustrates tne
Importance of having suit OF hve OF

low honor combinations for defensive
purposes when embarrassing discards
hav to be made in tiresome succession
The Latest Disparagement.
The consistent tournament success
of the Deal Club players, and their out
spoken ridicule for obsolete or lnenec-
tive bidding methods has naturaiiy
drawn fire from those interested IN
other systems Formerly, the allega-
| ticn was that I had no System-at
least, none that could be taught to any
| one else-and that results were achieved
by astute guesswork, fine card playing
and psychological deductions. Consist
| ent underlying theory and precision In
partnership bidding were supposed to
be conspicuous by their absence. Those
who have followed these articles can
! make their own comments on such
criticisms.
This allegation being no longer ten
abe, it is now being said that our tour
nament successes are not due to our
system. but to our good judgment in
! selecting partners and teammates, our
practice in partnership play, and to
good card playing 1t is suggested that
we would be equally successful with
any of the better known bidding sys-
TENS.
This is real compliment as regards
the points named-but do you not think
it might be extended q little further?
May we not be credited with at least
equally good judgment in selecting our
bidding principles?
The facts are that we have investi-
gated and tried these other methods,
and found them definitely inferior for
our purposes. Occasional hands will
come up where another system will OBJ
tain better result than we do, but in
the long run we know that we have a
very distinct advantage. That is why
we obstinately play Sims" As i'm
provements suggest themselves, they
will be taken into the system and made
known to you in these articles. The
game will cease to be interesting when
it ceases to advance. We hope to ad-
vance with it-and to take you with us.

How 1t Started
Hoist With His Own Petard."
By JEAN NEWTON.

~Ss wy ->~~ - 80 - S~~~>~'
We have an inquiry as to the origin
and significance of this expression,
which today Is met more frequently
in literature than in popular speech.
Literally the phrase means 'shot by
one's own powder" petard, or, for
merly, petar, being a ease containing
an explosive to break down barricades,
a flrecracker, so to speak 1t signifies
being caught in ones own trap.
The origin Of the expression is found
in Shakespeare's Hamlet" In the
fourth scene of the third act, when
Hamlet says to the Queen. his mother,
with reference to his contemplated trip
to England:
There's letters seald; and my two
schoolfellows,
Whom I will trust as I will adders
fang'd.
They bear the mandate; they must
sweep my way
And marshal me to knavery. Let 1t
work,
For It's the sport to have the engineer
hoist with his own petar."
