SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.
Washington, D. c

Washington, d. c.
Although We haven't any vote
When ballots have been cast,
It's here you have to come to note
The great result at last.
Without a frown the skies look down,
From all resentment free.
So welcome to the good old town
OF Washington, D. c.
1t holds for all a subtle spell
Which cannot be denied.
Here dwell brave men whose lives would
tell.
The tales of patriot pride.
Welcome you are from near and far,
Good neighbors let us be.
No thought unkind your stay shall mar
In Washington, D. c.

Uncommon Sense
About Trouble
BY JOHN BLAKE.

lHDOPIE like to tell their troubles.
- Flrthermore they hate to hear
other peoples troubles.
i The old story Of the man
who, when Q friend came to him
relating q tale of woe, called the porter
In and said, Put this man out, he u
breaking my heart" may not be true.
But It expresses the way that most peo-
pie feel when their friends come In
with hard-luck stories.
II you know that some person can,

in asking him for help.
But before you do that, exhaust
every means Of helping yourself.
II you can do It, that will give you
self confidence and self-respect, and
you will be less likely to get into that
particular kind Of trouble again.
y r
Just now there is q good deal Of
trouble In the world. It is not at oil
comparable, Of course, to the time when
nobody knew how great war was
coming out, and everybody feared that
his own country might be destroyed be-
fore It was all over.
There is, as have said, plenty OF

any race has . legitimate right to ex-
pect.
Now that the tide is turning. cheer
up. Not only cheer up yourself, but
cheer up everybody else that is amena-
bic to cheering up. That will bring
prosperous times back more rapidly.
Incidentally, when prosperity is again
at our threshold you will feel that you
have done more toward speeding Its
return than If you had gone around q
figure Of gloom, more sorry for your
self than you were for those whose pre-
dicaments were worse than your own.

In q world which contains everything
to support life and to continue human
happiness, nothing but a universal
catastrophe can keep it from resuming
its old pace. But let the trouble nursers
get into the majority and there may be
catastrophe.
So keep your own end up by using
little cheerful philosophy, and con-
vincing your neighbor that the worst
Is over.
If there we're men living today who
remembered the American Revolution
they would be very likely to smile pity
ingly when they hear people say that the
end of the world seems to be in sight.
This world will last long, long time.
and 1t will see many more happy and
prosperous years. And prosperous times
are not far away right now.

"pep'' him up. so that he can carry On.
Or. c. r. Schlayer, Munich, directs
attention to this condition in business
men who are Of the hard-working.
energetic and somewhat impatient type.
They complain of fatigue and drowsi-
ness even during the forenoon. Some
Of these patients also complain OF pres
sure In the head, increased irrttability
and dizziness. DR.. Schlayer found that
there was really no organic trouble IN
these cases, but that there were some
digestive disturbances.
Instead Of using drugs In these cases,
he advises that watching the diet, and
cutting down on all liquids, including
coffee, and cutting down also on Gig
arettes, is the most effective method Of
correcting the condition.
To overcome the thirst, buttermtlk OF
sour milk should be taken In small
quantities. Fried and roasted foods are
likewise inadvisable.
For these tired or neurasthenic per-
sons, in addition to rest and proper diet,
I would suggest little outdoor exercise
every day, If only a good walk. The
three things that keep US strong and
well are rest, food and exercise, and all
are equally important.
This threefold treatment was recon-
mended by SaJous some years ago, when
he said: Rest, distractions from work.
nutritious food, removal of baneful in
fuences and a short walk daily, which
aids appetite and digestion, constitute
the main features of treatment"
Too much exercise, by inducing too
much fatigue, would be harmful rather
than helpful.

Ordering over the telephone Is the
quickest way to get articles delivered.
The great advantage Of written orders

The person getting the written order
has before him, In black and white,
exactly what is wanted. and can def

order has been properly fllled and the
goods have been accepted by the one
ordering them.
In case Of misunderstanding, the let
ter Is proof either Of the wrong thing
being requested or the wrong thing
being sent, and there Is no question
where the blame lies. But such er-
rors are few, very few, In comparison
with those occurring in orders on the
telephone. So 1t Is wise to use the
slower service Of the mail whenever
practical, when ordering.
Special delivery letters are the fastest
form Of mail service, especially when
letters go by airmail. The latter
service Is very quick when landing

my dear Mrs. Post was somewhat
mystined by your answer in today's
paper concerning invitations sent out
in q child's name, regardless Of age.
Some time ago you wrote that an in
vitation to ball or small dance never
had the name Of q young girl on It,
even II she were q debutante.' Aren't
these confusing statements?"
Answer-The article you speak OF
refers to an engraved invitation intro
drcing a debutante. No invitation is
ever sent out by the person for whom
the party Is given. No young person.
certainly not a child-would send out
an engraved invitation, which is the
height Of formality. But the child
would write, Dear Mary, will you come
to my party on Tuesday," Or young
Girl might write On her own whiting
card and sent it to her own friends,
Supper or Small dance" or any
thing she likes. But she could not
Introduce" herself to society. Do you
see?
MY dear Mrs. Post-Several days
ago I read an article Of yours which
said that a mans wedding ring is fitted
to his little finger rather than to his
third finger, and that this last is typical
of Europeans. Did you really mean
this, because have seen many Amer1-
can men wear a wedding ring on the
third finger?"
Answer should, I suppose, have
qualified my statement, saying that men
OF the fashionable world, in New York
or on Long Island, and so on, wear wed
ding rings on the little hnger-n they
wear them at all.

went one no trump, two spades, two nc
trumps, you must, OF course, bid three
spades as a warning. The hand is toe
weak to show second suit and per.
haps prevent the hand being signed of
at three spades. A rebid of three hearts
would almost certainly result in your
partner rebidding to three no trumps
This might be all right, but it would
be poor technique.
Only If he can bid three no trumpe
after your ominous rebid Of the spades
should that contract appear desirable
to you. A secondary heart bid would
be misleading for another reason also
how is your partner to know that 1t Is
only a four card suite? With five of
each major suit, you would have simi-
larly bid the spades first, would you
not? consider, therefore, that three
spades is the only proper rebid with the
hand over two no trumpe.
The Decision May Be Referred TO the
Responder.
If the bidding went one no trump,
two spades, three spades, would pass.
With so weak hand have no right
to make another bid-the signing of
decision has been plainly passed to me.
With an extra king in my hand I
would bid three no trumps; with the
minor suit holdings Qxx and q single
ton, would bid four spades reason
able gamble for game in either case.
The point Is that bid of four hearts
Is not to be considered. BY raising you
in spades the opening bidder Is convey
ing a very different plea as compared
with the raise in hearts we discussed
yesterday. He knows that you cannot
show him another suit unless you have
also a flve-card heart suit. Plainly he
Is saying:
Although we have q fit In spades.
I am afraid to 60 three no trumps.
There is weak spot in my hand. II
your hand Is q minimum I do not
think we can make game in spades.
Sign on unless you have something
over minimum: either q half trick IN
reserve somewhere In the hand or sure
protection in two other suits, 50 that
you may take me to three no trumps.
or else additional values which VIII
prove effective In suit play such as q
singleton and a fairly good spade suit
In that event bid four spades"

pawl
did the lion carry any one away?"
some one asked; and in few moments
1t was found that one Of the negroes
had been taken away.
On a later date two young men Of
the tribe were attacked by q lion in
broad daylight, at place close to
their village. Bravely they struggled
against the beast, driving their spears
into its chest and side.
As soon as they could tear them
selves free, the men ran into their
village. The wounded lion did not fol-
low them there, but that night one Of
the men died from the injuries which
had been done to him.
It was believed that this Lon was
the man-eater which had been causing
so much trouble. Next morning, \ all
the men in the village went forth to
follow the trail Of the beast: and be-
fore long the animal was discovered
dead from the spear thrusts.
You may imagine the shouting and
beating of tom-toms when the lions
body was placed on great bonfire and
burned to ashes.
