The "Old Lady" Smiles!
Daily Journal of Commerce, seattle.)

The mother of the United States navy will come to port here soon Old and decrepit, she will be lowed by one of her chdren-a modern navy ves- sel, all gray and twnkling with brass contrasting the dowdy dress of the Constitution"
 No curt orders parked from her bridge now. No flags are bent sails set. She is just old lady of the deep, tired, worn and her task is done.
 Does she feel now? In fancy she does. In fancy we see her quiver with a thrill of pride when on parade the long grey line of modern battle-wagons slip by surely steadily, firm and strong.
 "Mine," she seems to cry, "mine-all mine In pain I bore them all See, I scared and broken. My children, these modern ships, and children of my children.
 Born in Boston in 1797, went to sea. I fought the British off the cold Atlantic Coast and the pirates in the Mediterranean I took the Levant, the Java and the Guerreri, and they were mine.
 You see, my children born of strong men, Not only are they hardened by the bitter winds and dangers of the Atlantic but they tempered by the warm winds of the blue Mediterranean and their blood is the blood of conquerors?"
 Does she feel? Yes, old Constitution" feels Today she is proud to rest, proud to be squired by such a sturdy son as the United States navy She will never die, and while the may loosen the pitch in her decks and the high seas the caulking in her sides, she will live forever-her spirit is indomtable and courage undying
 Mother of mighty race, old Constitution now visits the land she fought to save and views the endless shores she fought to hold

bid South bid three clubs. West then stepped in with a bid Of three hearts, which became the final con- tract.
 North had the opening lead. He had the choice of opening his sim gleton spade or his partners club suit To lead spade would invite ruff and it looks as if, with his three hearts to the queen, he is going to make a heart trick any, way.
 North, when the hand was played, elected to open the club suit and played the nine of clubs. The ten was played from dummy and South won the trick with the queen. He. then returned the king of clubs. ~
 South did not wish to continue with clubs for fear of setting dummy's jack up. He >now shifted to his singleton diamond, which North won with the ace.
 North had the diamond suit counted but decided to try to kill one of dummy's high diamonds and led the ten of diamonds. The jack was played from the dummy, South ruffed with the deuce of hearts and the declarer over-ruffed with the three. West then led the jack of hearts, and when North did not cover took the finesse. South's ace won the trick.
 South now returned small spade. which was won in dummy with the king. The declarer then led the king and queen of dia. monds from dummy, discarding the eight and ten of spades from his hand. The seven of diamonds was ruffed by declarer with the eight of hearts.
 Declarer now led his ten of hearts and North refused to cover. Declarer must not make the mis- take Of leading his last heart--he must now play his ace Of spades, and North Is helpless.
 If he trumps with the queen Of hearts. the Geclarer will overtrump in dummy with the king of hearts and then lead a club and trump in his own hand with the nine of trump. He will win the last trick with the queen of spades.
 After you have shown two suits --in: other words. made two con- structive bids--and partner does not show an inclination to support either one. do not try to force the bidding. You should realize that you have mls1t hand.

 It is only natural that most of the bridge articles written are about hands where the declarer goes game or makes a slam.
 However, at the bridge table many hands that prove most inter- esting are hands where game is not made-partial score hands some times have to be unusually well played.
 A hand, containing freak distri- button is always good subject for conversation after it Is played. The following freak hand was dealt at. one of the tables following my farewell lecture in St. Peters burg. Fla, given at the Soreno Hotel,

BOTANIC GARDENS
TRANSFER PRESSED.
Robinson Offers Bill for Shift
to Agriculture Department
Jurisdiction.

A bill to provide for transfer Of the
Botanic Garden to the jurisdiction of
the Department of Agriculture was in
troduced In the Senate late yesterday
by Senator Robinson of Arkansas, the
Democratic leader. 1t was referred to
the Senate Committee on Library for
report.
Senator Robinson tried last week to
have the transfer authorized as an
amendment to the independent Offices
appropriation bill, but Senator Cope
land, Democrat, of New York, raised
the point of order that 1t was a change
of law, and this prevented its consid-
Grafton as part of the appropriation
bill. Senator Robinson announced at
that time that he would introduce a
separate bill so that the question could
be considered on its merits.
The Democratic leader pointed out
at that time that citizens. who have
studied the subject believe 1t is incon-
sistent to have the Botanic Garden
under the Joint Committee on Library
of the Senate and House, and that the
best interests of the service would be
served by placing it in the Department
of Agriculture. where its work could
be co-ordinsted with similar activities
already being carried on by that de-
partment.
Senator Robinson also placed In the
record while the subject was being dis
cussed last week statement from Mrs
Frank B. Noyes, representing the Gar
dent Club OF America, outlining the
advantages that would result from a
transfer of the Botanic Garden to the
Agriculture Department.
