brated the Yuletide at their dance
held last night in the Ten Thou
sand club.
The cleverly worded invitations,
all in rhyme, asked each member

placed in the jolly saint S bag to
Be distributed later.
On the stage OF the club house
were two big Christmas trees beau
tifully decorated and ablaze with
colored lights, making a brilliant
sight.
AT the opposite end of the room
was a big fireplace with a most
realistic fire while hanging from
the mantel were the family S
stockings Of assorted sizes and filled
with all sorts of packages. Santa
Claus himself, also most realistic,
leaned against the fireplace, his
pack brimming over with the gifts
brought by the club members.
Dancing was enjoyed and during
the evening a grand march was
called, the leaders directing the
procession to Santa Claus where
each person received his present.
As the gifts were not to exceed 10
cents in cost and were to be articles
of wearing apparel, much ingenuity
was needed and a number of anus
ing and clever gifts were seen as
the packages were unwrapped.
Refreshments were served at the
end of the evening by the commit

For Tournament Players Only.
II you are playing In a tournament
with match point scoring. and your
hand should contain a four-card suit
consisting of four honors. it is advisable
to bid the suit, especially a major

suit, the 100 honors will top the score
obtainable in no trumps. Realize
however, that you are being technically
unsound in doing this with a split hand,
and do not persist when your partner
fails to raise the suit. Game outweighs
honors by hundreds of points. The
openers hand has to be distinctly
above a minimum for the game to be
equally sure in the suit, and greatly
so if a minor suit Is involved. With
eight trumps between you, however,
and no weak spot in the openers hand,
YOU may be able to retain trump con-

YOU in any suit, draw trumps, and play
the hand thereafter as In no trumpS,
perhaps even with trump left in each
hand to take care of tricks which
would be lost in no trumps. You are
really refusing to accept average on
the hand, striving to beat par, and
taking q risk to do so. Be guided by
your presumable situation in the
tournament whether to reach out for
tops or to play safe.

" YHAT was that man doing at
AZ the hole of the black Chuck?
wv The latter and Johnny
Chuck, watching from the
shelter of the stone wall on
one edge of the field, were puzzled. He
had shoveled sand into the hole, which
was really the entrance to the black
Chuck's home, and also had filled the
back entrance. which Johnny Chuck

house. Huh! I can dig that SAND

Is he doing now? He is coming over
here! We better get out Of sight"
They did get out of sight, and by
the time the man reached the old wall
neither Chuck was to be seen. But,
though he couldn't see them, they were
peeping out and watching him. He took

ried 1t back to the black Chuck's house.
They saw him place 1t where the en-
trance had been.
"You won't dig through that said

The man picked up his shovel and

him out of sight Then they looked
over to what had been the black Chucks

1t. Johnny Chuck hesitated a minute
and then followed. He knew that the
wise thing to do would be to get back
on Farmer Browns land, but curiosity
was too much for him. He wanted to
see IL that man really had spoiled the
home Of the black Chuck.

shifted around the flat stone that had

1t was well that black Chuck did

So-called waterspouts have been OBJ

storms. In such case water is flung
upward by currents of air rising at q
speed of more than 20 miles per hour.
Whirling winds cause the water to spin

Waterspouts are likely to strike ter

times damage is done to ships. It Is
the action of the whirling wind, rather
than the water, which harms ship.

DRIVE FOR SILVER
Campaign to Get Metal in
Use as Money Base Will
Now Be Pushed.
BY the Associated Press.

CARSON CITY. Nev... December IL
With the backing of the Governors OF
the II Western States. an organized
drive to establish silver as a basic money
metal was announced today by George
w. Malone, chairman Of a "Silver Com
nittee" appointed by the Governors.
Groundwork for the campaign was
laid at the recent annual conference OF
Western Governors at Boise. which went
on record for definite. immediate and
co-ordinated action in behalf Of silver.
1t was said here to mark the first
time in history Of the white metal that
so many States have ATTEMPTED an Or
ganized effort in its behalf. Pet schemes
Of political off1ceholders. Malone said,
will have no place in the picture.
Were going to bat on two prin-
ciples," Malone said in announcing for
nation of his committee. I'VE are
going to see that silver Is made basic
money metal. and then silver must and
will be stabilized at a reasonable figure.
If this is done. it will be the longest
step toward ending the depression in
the Western States that has yet been
taken.
I'VE don't care how the Government
goes about making silver a basic metal
or how the price is stabilized.
'The committee is not welded to any
particular plan. Its business is to as
siSt the national representatives in CO.
ordinating their efforts, to the end that
some feasible plan will be adopted by
