WHO ARE YOU?
The Romance of Your Name
BY RUBY HASKINS ELLIS.

sheriff in ancient days carried with 1t
more prestige and consequence than in
more modern times, SO it was a dis
tinctive honor to hold this position.
Duncan Mcclellan is mentioned in
a charter of Alexander II, 12l7, and
Gilbert Mcclellan obtained a charter
OF his lands from King David II.
The ancestral seat of the family
was Kirkcudbright, in a southwest
county of Scotland. Sir Robert Nc
Clellan, son of Thomas, of Bombie,
was in the service of King James VI,
and continued in the reign of King
Charles II, who created him a peer
by the title of Kirkcudbright.
1t was from the Irish offshoot of
the parent stem. however. that the
family in Virginia was founded. Will
liam Mcclellan, born in 1748 in Ire
land, emigrated to Virginia and set
tied in Loudoun County. His de-
scendants are now living in North
Carolina, Virginia. Tennessee and many
other States.
George B. Mcclellan. outstanding
general of the Civil and Mexican Wars
was born in Philadelphia in 1926. He
was the son of George Mcclellan, M. D..
and Of Elizabeth Brinton, Of Scotch
descent.

Conquering Contract
BY P. HAL SIMS

Mr.. Sir,s Is uniuersdHg acclaimed
the greatest Hping contract and auction
player. He pas captain of the renowned
-Four Horsemen" team, 1lo,D disbdnded,
and has iDon "a national championships
since 1924. These articles DIRE based on
the Sims system, tChich includes the
one-oDer-one principle Which the Sims
group OF players t0as the first to employ
and develop.
Respect Word Constructive"
IF YOU open the bidding and for
your rebid you name a second
suit, that Is a constructive bid.
i However, remember that "construc-
tive" is relative term, and that
II there is another far more construc-
tive rebid in your hand, the other rebid
may turn out to be destructive. At
Hanover recently, in the American
Whist League tournament, I sat East
against this monster North-South hand.
My opponents announced they were
playing my system.
North hand (dealer):
R5s. III; a q 1ox q. G. Ak 1oxxx
South hand:
a3s. sP; A A ) 1o91 3i: 1i: Xxx AK
and the bidding went:
North-One club.
South-One spade.
North-Two hearts.
South-Two spades.
North-Two no trumps.
South-Three no trumpS.
North-Pass.
After spreading the hand Of seven
odd, all having followed on the first
round of clubs, the North player was
very indignant. IT make brilliant
constructive rebid Of hearts and 1t gets
us nowhere Others will bet to slam by
other systems; why do we have to un-
derbid a hand of this strength in the
Sims system?
Building on a Quicksand.
Norths mistake was in bidding two
hearts. Why bid an unbiddable suit In
so tremendous a hand? Once South
has bid spades, surely the club suit is
the key suit for slam purposes-game,
of course, is now not in any doubt,
whether in spades or no trumps or
clubs. The time to bid two hearts on
@ J 10 is when you are trying to
from your hand into your partners, ;
and you feel that game is possible only
in no trumps and that then it is going
to be narrow squeak. perhaps de-
pendent on getting the declaration into
your partners hand, possibly picking
up a trick thereby on the opening lead.
With

two hearts would be a good bid (after
one club. one spade) with this end in
view. If he bids two no trumps, you
bid three; if he bids two spades, you
bid two no trumps and can still pass
three spades if that is his bleat. But
with North's powerful holdings, in the
hand that we are considering, two
hearts is an aimless, destructive bid.
This is how other Sims players tackled
the bidding:
The Right Bidding.
North-One club.
%South-One spade
North-Three clubs. This suit is the
backbone of the hand; it is vital to as
certain whether that suit is filled out
by the partners holding, and to make
it easy for South to affirm or deny the
light support needed by showing imme-
diately great length and strength in the

MORE TRUTH THAN POETRY
BY JAMES J, MONTAGUE.

He mas his own ideas
OF when to take his rest;
Those eager, wise and shining eyes
Proclaim that he knows best,
And when they gleam and glitter,
With fear his subjects thrill
An6 make it clear that now and here
The King shall have his will.
Well, let him reign in glory:
Though he may frown or smile,
His golden day will pass away
In just little while.
He'll soon be thumbing textbooks
In some dull dreary school.
And in his place anotheS face s
Another King shall rule.

How 1t Started
BY JEAN NEWTON,

We frequently hear today that money
is the root of all evil. And we find the
same thought expressed in the same
way throughout the literature of CEN
turieS.
For the origin of this saying we must
go to the Bible. 1t Is in the New Tes-
lament, in the sixth chapter of the first
book OF Timothy, that we find its
source, as follows:
For the love Of money Is the root
Of all evil; which while some coveted
after, they have erred from the faith
and pierced themselves through with
many sorrows"

His Majesty.

He's weak in wind and muscle,
He has few words to say,
He makes no claim to wealth or fame
But still he has his way.
He Sits up, stern and scowling,
And waves inSistent hands,
While every one proceeds to run
To answer his commands.
His meals are served in private,
And often late at night.
In accents rude he calls for food
To safe his appetite,
And II it's long in coming
He makes folks understand
That always he intends to be
The person in command.

that by showing it he viii facilitate

having been agreed on, either partner

been ascertained
South-Five hearts. A highly con-
structive bid, showing definitely his
ability to win the first heart trick and

spade ace he would have to back down

veloping it.
