Are you hanging on to some
of your club affiliations with
out doing your share toward
supporting the organizations?
You make promises to meet
obligations, thereby encourag-
ing the club managers to count
on you for support.
Conditions are tough enough
for all kinds of clubs if all who
subscribe as members pay their
dues promptly.
It takes close figuring and
planning to keep them going at
all.
The management spends
many hours over ways and
means of financing.
This without remuneration,
of course.
But does the membership in
general come forward and do
it's part in keeping things to-
gether.
If you belong to the class that
doesn't, and can't afford to
maintain your membership, why
don't you pay up and resign?
Don't try to ride at the ex-
pense of your friends.
Most of your club friends have
to make Self-denials in order
to do their part and if you re-
duced some of your unnecessary
expenses you might perhaps be
able to pay your dues.
Your personal popularity can
not make up for the reputation
you gain if you are spopging
your way in your club affilia-
tionS.

The South Seas-PearI Divers
in the Dangerous
Archipelago
Every season more and more
visitors are being willingly lured
to the lovely islands flung like
a Towering garland across the
blue Pacific.
Indeed, so travelled is this
route that we hear of visitors
returning from Tahiti complain
ing that it's capital, Papeete, is
becoming too civilized, many
artificial luxuries now being re-
garded as necessities" even by
the full-blooded natives.
AS a result, visitors lately
have been putting out of Pa
peete in schooners to visit near
by islands not affected by the
sometimes very mixed blessings
of civilization.
The Island Life
Every few months a govern
ment boat puts out carrying the
French administrator, M. Fran
co.'s Herve, on a tour of inspec-
ton, and often visitors accom-
pany him, to make the ac-
quaintance of an absolutely
primitive people, the real Poly
nesians.
In the region of French
Oceania is an immense archi-
pelago, many thousands of
square miles in extent and COM
prising eighty or more atolls,
some Of them quite small.
Many of the larger stollS can
be seen from aboard ship for
only a short distance before
they drop below the horizon
line, and because of this the
archipelago is charted on mari
time maps as the Dangerous"
or Low" Archipelago.
In it are to be found great
circular coral reefs formed Of
chains of iSlets that gleam gem
like around a deep blue lagoon,
in the very best tradition of the
South Seas.
The little islands are full Of
native cocoanut plantations, but
The French administration has
planted also breadfruit, banana,
mango, orange, lemon and guava
trees with great success and
much labor. Despite the abun-
dance of these fruits, much Of
the food for the natives has to
be imported.
Those without money must
live on cocoanuts and fish alone.
These are plentiful and are to
be had for the taking. The ma
tives have tremendous appetites
and don't know when to stop
eating, so when there is money
there is always a huge feast,
and its aftermath is an island
full of groaning natives.

Everyday Psychology
BIZ DR.. JESSE W. sPRoWLs.
RefeXes.

A reflex is physical mechanism
which nature has installed for the pur-
pose Of protecting the body and pro-
noting the economy of living. We
ordinarily have little or no control over
these reflexes. Some important refexes
are the breathing reflex, the swallowing
reflex, the sneezing reflex, the coughing
reflex, the eye-winking reflex and the
salivary reflex watering of the mouth
at the sight Of food) If you want to
discover how important these refexes
are try to control them.
Did you ever try to control involun-
tary laughter at a time when laughing
was entirely out of place? Pretty hard
to do. But you can succeed fairly well
If you concentrate on something diff
ferent.
Did you ever try to swallow sneeze?
1t can be done if your swallow is big
enough. Did you ever try to keep your
eye from winking when some one struck
at you? A little practice will improve
your control for the time being. But
only for the time being.
Do you remember the good old days
when wandering bands went about the
streets playing at busy corners before
they passed the hat? In some cities
| mischievous boys would break up the
concert by the simple expedient of
sucking lemons in the presence of the
musicians who performed with the wind
instruments. Nothing has quite so
much authority as a lemon. when it
comes to demanding a response from
the salivary glands.

Conquering Contract
BY P. HAL SIMS

or one asking for preference. Remem-
Der that the soundnesS Of the original
bid will impel your partner to rebid
even over a sign-of response by you;
if he has bid one major suit. incline
to keep the bidding open for him II you
have good support for the other major
suit-such as four to the jack-and a
singleton or doubleton in one Of the
minor suits. If, however. you cannot
stand a secondary bid of the other
major by the opener, tend to pass on
about trick. 1t is true that some of
the most prominent exponents of my
system keep the bidding open with
terribly weak hands. This is partly
defensive tournament strategy; am
disinclined to do 1t myself, and I do
not advise my readers to do so. es-
peciaily in rubber play. 1t is always
possible that your partner may have
opened with a bid of one on hand
that is in itself within trick of game,
and that your trick may be all he needs.
This. however, is so rare that you can
afford to miss an occasional game in
of misleading minimum responses. If
your hand is of the unfavorable type,
in spite of it's one trick. game can only
be there through an extreme distribu-
tional fit. Under these circumstances,
the opponents are likely to have very
aggressive holdings, and it often hap
pens that fourth hand encouraged by
your pass. will stick in a bid which
will give your partner the chance to bid
again.
A Reminder.
I have already explained that. al
though the one no trump response is
a "sign-off'' warning, it can also be
made with as much as two tricks. In
this event it is still unsuitable for a
game contract because its distribution
is too even: its inability to respond in
suit shows lack Of playing IA
cilities, and you can be sure that un-
less partner has reason to rebid over
your one no trump, while believing it
to be a ''sign-off.' game will seldom
be possible. even though your hand
has quite few face cards. As already
explained, if he does rebid. and the re-
bid is favorable for your holdings, you
must now take the responsibility of
making a jump rebid yourself or i'm
mediately contracting for game

Uncommon Sense
|AU in the Days Work.
BY JOHN BLAKE.

No one knows better than the captain
of a steamship what terrible thing
is the sinking of vessel.
Yet rarely in the history Of the sea
has one skipper. finding another ship
in distress, failed to stand by, and If
need be risk his own life to save those
on board of the doomed ship.
In Washington I sat through an in
vestigation into the sinking G a vessel
and heard unassuming men tell stories
of what they Lad done to save the
lives of paSsengerS-talk OF great
heroism-yet none of the narrators ap-
peared to think they had done any
thing unusual in taking their lives into
their hands to rescue people OF whose
existence they never had heard.
Recently the newspapers told the
story of the saving of most of the crew
of the freighter Exeter City. by the
captain and the crew Of the liner
American Merchant.
The rescue was performed during
terrific gale off the perilous coast OF
Newfoundland.
1t vas necessary to stand by at vast
risk to the salvaging ship. but 1t never
occurred to Capt. Stedman that there
was anything else to do
Such rescues are made more often
now. because many years ago IN Italy
young man named Marconl' IN
vestigating the nature of electricity.
found that he could send currents
through the air. and by their means
communicate with far distant cities.
Today the wireless has been greatly
developed but Mr.. Marconi and those
who worked with him still deserve part
of the credit for the ability of captain
whose vessel is in distress to tell other
ships of his misfortune.
have talked to many mariners who
have taken part in rescues such as that
of the Exeter City, and all Of them
seem to be astonished to think that
they should be suddenly regarded AS
heroes merely because they did what
almost every man in their craft would
do if the necessity arose.
Men have not yet quelled the forces
of nature, nor have they as yet tanned
the sea.
This will be done through the years,
perhaps more speedily Than we think.
But until it is done, it is encouraging
to know that there are sailor men.
hundreds of them who. when called
to assist a vessel in distress, will speed
to her side and stand by until the last
man is taken off the foundered craft.
We call this a narrow minded and
selfish world, but now and then. as
in a case like this, We discover that
We are mistaken.
All the heroes are not war heroes
and all brave men are not men who
die in battle.
Read stories of the sea and you will
have more faith in human nature and
more respect for the men who hold
their love of life secondary to their
love of duty

Although his prolonged speech con-

he was never at loss for return in
the word byplay that interrupted him
so often.
Tydings, for instance, after he had
been talking for hours slipped out to
the cloak room and returned with a
pink cup containing water and placed
it on Sheppard's desk.
Then he interrupted facetiously to
