On This
Occasion
Just a few thoughts by the Editor
on things Material and Immaterial.

The Arrowhead Sportsmen's
Clubs went on record in their
meeting at Eveleth Saturday
night against the indefinite
furloughs for game wardenS in
the interests of economy with
the claim that they could see
no economy in laying off true
and tried men, especially in
northern sections of the state,
the only real game country re-
naming. 1t was pointed out
that altogether too many war
dens were employed in and
around the cities and too few
in the woods and that the de-
ficiency that is inevitable in the
game and fish department was
caused by transferring funds
belonging to this department to
some other division.
Representative Hitchcock in
his News and Comment column
of the Hibbing Daily Tribune
gives little inside history on
the management of the de-
partment in the following /:
Receipts of the game and fish
department, the Walton League
insisted, should be at the dis
posal of the department to
spend as it saw fit. So they
wrote it into the law on one
of those wild last nights of
session a few years ago. At
that time the farmer-labor
party appeared on the scene
and stepped into the control of
the game and fish department.
That wasn't very long ago, for
this is Floyd Olson's second
term. But the huge fund of
100000, accumulated by re-
publican administrations in the
game and fish department, has
been practically all spent, so
they say. The opening of the
deer season this year was for
the purpose of providing some
more money for the farmer
labor game and fish spenders."
The sportsmen are not over
ly elated by the appointment of
Erling Swenson of Minneapolis
as head of the game and fish
division to replace w. d.
Stewart, deceased, and another
from around the Twin Cities to
be assistant in place of Louis
Enstrom. They had their
teeth all picked for the ap-
pointment of some man from
the game country, say DR.. j. E.
Thompson of this city or War
rem Hastings of Two Harbors,
for at least one of the places
to, be filled. Either of these
men, conversant with con-
ditions in the game section
could handle the affairs more
satisfactorily than could the
Twin City men. The ap-
pointees can become convers-
ant with conditions but it costs
money to educate green hands.
1t is the universal opinion that
politics should be taboo in this
department.

Il. Prelesnik, Eveleth
In preliminary to the high school
game, the Ely second team defeated the
Virginia seconds with score of Il to
8. The Ely boys showed an adept
passing attack which enabled them to
outplay the visitors by wider margin
than the score indicates The Ely team
was composed of Fink, Perko, NJ Stukel,
Golob, Lepisto and Starkovich.

 But you'll be back some time, won't you, Nancy?" Grace whispered.
 "Of course I'll be back. Somc- time!"
 There were no other people at the station. The train whistled.

 Recently l read q diatribe against American children by a well known writer.
 I do not know how many chil- dren she knows, but I take it she is judging fifty, million by the doz- en or two belonging to her friends. She arraigns the modern mother for the new liberty movement which allows children an unheard of freedom.
 The mothers, of course, are ac- cused. They do everything wrong and nothing right. Children are. according to this article, merely incidental, are either turned over to nurses or neglected, and given their heads.
 Aside from the fact that we do have this class of mothers, by far too many of them and daily grow ing in numbers, l take exception to the label she prints. If she knew as many hard working, earn est, sensible mothers as I do. she would be less nasty in her judg- ment.
 fear the cult of too much free dom as much as anyone. It is ruinous. On the other hand fear even more the old bossism that in the end units q child for self control and self direction.
 But I stand by the mothers. If anyone cares to look, or to read the papers, or to step into the au- ditorium of the local school house once in a while, she cannot fail to discover the great mother movement in the United States, yes, and father movement too. It Is a fact that daily thousands of groups gather to be instructed in this great science fo child rear ing.
 It Is no common fad, no fanati- cal gesture, or a desire to be con- sidered modern. It is a sober de- termination to get at real facts and to adapt sensible theory as nearly as possible to daily prac- tice in their homes.
 Mothers do know more about children than they did 20 years ago. Make no mistake. please. about this new movement. Why is 1t that we can study ,lmost a0y- thing else on earth and be prais- ed for it, but the moment we open a child book, or hear a child

 "But we will of course, we will" Grace's voice was too en- phatic. Nancy will come back.
 "Of course she will. I'll give them three months. They will tire of Europe. It isn't the gay old con- tinental place it used to be. Harry said.
 "I'd like to be there again. Grace answered. She slipped her arm through Jimmy's and he caught her hand and held it close ly. Their eyes met and each knew the otker was thinking of the gay and happy months that had fol- lowed their marriage, when they. too, had dreamed their slow way through England and France.
 We are going back some day" Jimmy's eyes told Grace.
 "Of course we are" the reassur- ing pressure of her arm answered,

 A little sob caught at Corrinne's own voice and Harry glanced at her quickly.
 Why, Corrinne.
 I'm all right. I'm fine ] just don't like weddings"
 Now Harry eyes met Cor rinnes as Jimmy's had met Grace's. And they, too. were re- membering eyes. They held :, dream of the night when he and the girl whom he had-married had run away because she was so very young and she wouldn't receive her high school diploma until June. Corrinne was thinking of that. too. But her eyes wers troubled. She didn't want to re- member. It hurt. Somo- thing had come between her and Harry. He didn't trust her an.t more. And she had done nothing. nothing at all. she told herself. :.

finally elected. to try for six spades rather than double the heart con- tract.
 West was of slightly pessimis- tic temperament and finally decid- ed that his opponents could make six spades. He knew that one Of them must be void of hearts. that the ace of clubs was against him. and that his only sure trick was the ace of diamonds.
 His opponents could surely not take many tricks against a heart contract, so he bid seven hearts for a sacrice. without even giving his partner a chance to double the six spades.
 If East had any black looks available, he probably used them at this point. but he played the hand out for a penalty of one trick ana the sacrice proved to be highly profitable. North could have made six spades against any lead but the jack Of diamonds. and that lead would have required both master ful card reading and lucky guess.

CONTRACT -HowTo Score 1t

 Occasionally hand arises which defies all conventions. Bidding me- of courage and audacity, and the final declaration depends moro upon the temperament of the play CTS than upon their actual card holdings.
 Such hand was played in re- cent duplicate game at the Cleve- land Whist club. A small slam could bc, and actually was. made in each of the four suits, and the final con- tract was doubled in nearly every case.
 The fact that neither side was vulnerable added to the sport. Spir- itcd bidding was the rule at all tables, and the side which first gave up it's own declaration in fa- vor of a double usually got the short end.
 Probably most of those who bid the small slam did 1t for a sacrifice. expecting to be defeated. The slam in spades or clubs could have been defeated by freak defense. but no one was able to find 1t and Fate was with the slam bidders in every case.
 Perhaps the most interesting bid. ding on this hand was as follows: south opened with one diamond and West overcalled with three clubs. North realized that the hand was q freak and attempted to stop the proceedings with bid of five diamonds.
 East also sensed the freakish dis tribution and interpolated a bid of i've hearts, prepared to bid six clubs if doubled. South doubled. and West, thoroughly satisfied with the heart bid. passed.
 North could not stand the double SO he bid five spades. also prepared to run back into diamonds if 'ne- - ccssrry. East doubled. South passed, and wes: took out with six hearts.

lecture there is that silly pr0pa ganda and prejudice to laugh us down?
 There will be, are, many mis- takes. Frequently, as in this lib- erty idea. it is overdone because not clearly understood by some mothers. Discipline plays an es- sential part, but it is a new disci- pline that is far more effectual and not so ruinous.
 At any rate see too many fine mothers to allow my factual knowledge to be swayed by few snap words.
 I believe that American chill dren to-day lean too far away from responsibility. believe many are doomed to be poor citizens. l believe many things. But uncon- structive criticism snap judg- ment and a decidedly biased in- dictment are unfair. It is discour- aging to the earnest mother who is trying her best to learn.

Morse Custom Kept Up
by Shetland Islanders

The ancient Morse fire festival of
Up-Helly-aa, which means the last Of
the holy yule days, is annually cele-
brated in Lerwick, Shetland islands.
In the last celebration three hundred
"Guizers," carrying siX-foot torches,
took part in the torchlight procession,
wearing brilliantly-colored costumes.
They were led by stalwart "vikings."
The leader of the Guizers, the Guizer
Jarl, a commanding figure, wore pur-
pie and orange cloak, aluminium coat
of mail, and silver helmet surmounted
by outspread ravens wings. The Quiz
ers fell in behind the full-size Morse
war galley "Frithr." meaning friend
ship, with its towering dragon head
and fish-like tail. The "Jarl" stood a
solitary figure firmly grasping the star
board steering oar of the ship. A bu-
gle call gave the signal to light up
the torches, and then, accompanied by
the singing of martial airs and band
and pipe music, the procession moved
through the streets of the town. FL
nally the torches are thrown into the
valley, which is thus consigned to Val
halla. This ceremony recalls to Shet-
landers the Morse custom Of placing
a dead warrior in his galley, setting
1t alight, and launching it on the sea.

Watts Laurels Disputed

The laurels resting upon the head Of
James Watt, the reputed inventor of
the steam engine, are in danger, for
the director of the Technical museum
in Stockholm has recently announced
that he has discovered that a steam
engine was built in Sweden in 1928,
eight years before the birth of James
Watt. The constructor was Maaron
Triewald, a Swedish professor of as
tronomy, and it was In active service
for seven years at the Dennemora
mines in that country until the en-
CINE was completely destroyed by
lightning. The engine was never re
built, but Triewald left some drawings
and a description Of it and with the
aid of his material a working model
has been made and 1t Is now ON view
at the Technical museum.
