interest and almost impossible
to hold it. For the most part
they are easy-going and good
natured. Affection may be shown
for those who care for their
daily needs.
The remarkable thing is the
way Cretins respond-that is,
improve-when they are fed
thyroid extract. This is usually
taken from sheep or hogs, and
the doses depend upon the de-
gree of mental defect to be
treated. Those cases which are
nearest normal have the most
hopeful prognosis.
Whether any case of Cretin.
ism can actually be cured is
open to question; for it is note
worthy that as soon as the GUS
tomary dosage of thyroid ex-
tract is reduced in amount, or
withdrawn altogether, the pa
tient soon relapses into his
former defective mental state.
Cretinism has taught scien-
tific workers many things. 1t
has emphasized the Importance
of the thyroid gland as such;
it has proved that an adequate
thyroid is absolutely necessary
for sound mental as we'll as
physical health; it has suggested
future research possibilities with
the thyroid and other endocrine
glands.
That the thyroid has a direct
and stimulating effect upon the
mind and nervous system in
general is now well-established
fact. If we are slowing up in
our mental reactions, and grow
ing fat and Indifferent. it may
be that our thyroid is not funC-
tioning as it should.
But, of course. such problems
are for medical specialists to
solve. No one should ever take
thyroid extract without expert
advice and continued supervi-
sion.

After South had made an
opening bid of Heart, and
North had raised to 2-Hearts,
South went the limit, by bid
ding 4-Hearts. AS frequently is
the case it was bit more diff
ficult to make game than to
bid it.
The opening lead was the
@ of clubs. Dummy's K won
the trick. then two rounds of
hearts pulled all opposing
trumps. After which the de-
Clarer led his Ace and K of
spades. Dummy won a return
lead of clubs, then the de-
clarer led dummy's last spade
and trumped the trick. This
stripping both opponents of all
trumps was necessary to the
declarer's plans.
So also was leading the last
spade from the declaring hands.
Having stripped both major
suits. the declarer led his last
club, putting West in the lead.
West held one long club and
he held four diamonds. If he

Optinnist
By ALINE MICHAELIS
Spring Mood

Spring Mood
Man is the slave of folly,
Toiling through day on day.
It we're better to go
Where the sea winds blow,
Dancing with wave and spray!
Wasting the sunsweet hours,
Pent in some dingy room,
Growing each year
Farther from cheer,
Stranger to laughter and bloom
Man is the slave of folly,
Grasping for golden gain
Till his thoughts grow old
And his heart grows cold.
And his life is a barren plain.
Wiser we're joyous pagans,
Back in the dawn of time,
Men who could laugh
At the aureate chaff,
Setting their lives to rhyme.

Cant you see, darling, that
this is going to be terrible
scandal?" asked Wingate fatu-
ously. IF any of it rubs off
on you 1t will be positively
ruinous. Absolutely! I wouldn't
dream of letting you blight
your career. You mean too much
to the screen-far too much to
your public!"
You fool, you fool, you fool!
Leni wanted to cry aloud. Can't
you understand, you idiot, that
your talk of admiration and
the screen and the public is
nothing but Sitting smoke ris-
ing from the funeral pyre of
my dead ambitions? Do you
think you can say anything
with that loose, funny-looking
mouth that could be important
to me-or to Lucky Cavanaugh?
Yet, strength and power was
coming back to her. From
where, Heaven alone knew. 1t
poured into the vacuum Of her
breast, gathered into a deep
and expanding pool of vibrating
energy that her heart could
take hold of and pump through
every artery of her body.
Don't worry about it, please,
Ned" said the smiling shell of
herself. Everything will turn
out all right"
That's the spirit" cried
Wingate.
Gertstenfield suddenly was
ignoring Leni. He picked up
the blue-covered contract from
the table. folded it and re-
stored it to the envelope.
The Contract
Under the circumstances"
he said aridly, 1--WE may not be
justified in offering this con-
tract to Miss Luneska. I'll have
to take it up with the COM
pany."
Leni felt she knew what he
was thinking. The value of
motion picture star varied al
most from day to day. A breath
of scandal reacted directly upon
the box office. No other busi-
iness on earth was like this.
1T doesn't matter at all about
the contract" she said to Ger
stenfield. II wasn't going to
sign it anyway"
He did not even turn his
head to look at her. The COM
manding power of his eyes
drew to a focus that centered
upon Ned Wingate.
Get out!"
Wingate twisted his head
with birdlike motion as though
he had not heard Alright. "How's
that?"
"Get out. I want to talk to
Miss Luneska alone. :"
Wingate's long lips gave
twitch of embarrassment. He
was a vain man and would
have found it much easier if
Gerstenfield had troubled to
be just a little polite. AS
1t was, he tried to pass it off
as a bit of a joke.
"Right-o! But if she talks
you into doubling the salary,
old fellow. don't blame mel"
His effort at lightness
thudded to the floor. With a
bow to Leni and a smile which
meant to be humorous to Ger.
stenfield, he took himself out
of the room. At the door
he paused.
"I just happened to think"
he said. Hadn't I better
see our press department and
ask them to soft-pedal every
thing?"
Nothing of the kind" Ger
stenfield tossed negligently,
over his shoulder. "Just keep
your mouth shut"
AS soon as Leni was alone in
the room with Gerstenfield,
a nameless tension increased

DIR. Bisch's Daily Diet Hint

Mothers milk seldom dis
agrees with a baby. The milk
may, however, be deficient in
fat, or the supply may be poor.
In such cases it is better to sup
plement with a proper cows
milk formula, rather than give
up the breast feelings entirely.
In other words. little mothers
milk is better than none.

hands would discard a dia-
mond while the other hand
trumped. The declarer's STRAIT
egy obliged West to lead
diamond, which was what South
wanted done. If the declarer
had to lead diamonds. with the
A-K-1O-9 against him, his side
must have lost three tricks in
that suit. These three tricks
plus the loss of one club trick
would have defeated the con-
tract. BY obliging an opponent
to lead diamonds the declaring
side could not fail to win one
trick in that suit, just giving
fulfillment of the game con-
tract. The strip play is pretty,
but it is too common to cause
comment among trained play
ers.

C0L0MBIANS ON WAY
TO RETAkE LETICIA
Four Ships Carrying 1000 Men
and War Supplies Due in Fort
night at Port Seized by Peru.

BY the Associated Press.
PARA. Brazil, January "a Colom-
bian squadron of four ships left this
port at the mouth Of the Amazon yes
terday on a self-styled punitive mis-
sion to Leticia. the upper Amazon city
which was seized by Peru in an al
legged violation of the Salomon-I ozano
treaty, which was ratified in 1925.
The vessels, carrying munitions, sup
plies and 1000 soldiers, are expected to
make a short pause at Manaos. within
Brazilian territory, and to arrive in
Leticia just bevond the Brazilian
Colombian border, within a fortnight.
Commanding the expedition is Gen.
Alfredo Vasquez- -Cobo the Colombian
leader, who little over year ago sent
from his post as Minister to Paris a
challenge to Col. Luis NJ Sanchez Ger
TO- then likely President-elect of Peru,
proposing duel.
The movement was regarded as the
beginning of a drive to recover the
Leticia country over which Colombia

have strong force. including air.
planes, in the disputed area.
There is belief here that should a
naval battle between Peru and Colom-
bia eventuate, it probably will be
staged on the boundary of the keystone
shaped territory that wedges into Ecua-
dor on the west. Peru on the south
and Brazil on the east.

possible violation of neutrality. Brazil

that ultramodernism in construction
has received distinct setback and the

even greater progress"
Russell said efforts toward unifica-

The activities of Bishop Crimont in behalf of his missions, was un- expectedly hampered while he was in New York City by a severe at tack of influenza with complica- tions which seemed to his friends throughout the country, somewhat alarming, at first But his four weeks of sickness were only an oc- , casion of reinyigorating his health and, on February 2, he celebrated with joy his diamond jubilee oi existence.
 Among friends whom Bishop Crimont saw while he was in the East were Thomas Riggs former Governor of Alaska, and Mrs. Riggs, both of whom were in good health.
 Attends Religious Profession
 After his return to the West Bishop Crimont had the pleasure to accompany MT. and Mrs. l.. H Metzgar to the ceremony at Bel lingham, Wash, of the religious profession of their daughter, Vir- ginia, on February 15. Of the cere- mony he said, "The scene was one of grandeur and exaltation, well compensating the great sacrifice made by the parents and by their daughter. For young lady, with mind endowed with fine culture, and thoroughly equipped by every accomplishment, and charm of per- son, to aspire confidently to a career worthy to be envied by any young woman of her position, and deliberately, by an act of her will, unaided by sentiment, to choose a career of service and of self devo- tion to the welfare, spiritual and corporal of the thousands, and tens of thousands of the children and adults with whom Providence will place in touch with her, and within the sphere of her work, is a sight on which anyone may look with . feeling of exaltation and admira- tion.
 MT. and Mrs. Metzgar may well be proud of the distinguished honor that has come to their family in the person of Virginia Metzgar, who in her religion is Sister Mary Rosarii, in the Order of the Sis ters of St. Joseph of Newark.
 The Sisters of St. Joseph have won the esteem and love of Alas kans by their devoted and able service in the hospital at Ketchi- kan"
 Bishop Crimont will be occupied here for some time by the ex- tensive work of his tremendous diocese.
