Conquering Contract

Mr. Sims is universally acclaimed the

based on the Sims system, tDhich
includes the one-oDer principle,
tohich the Sims group OF players tDds
the first to employ and depelop.
N PREACHING So often about the
time factor and the need to steer
the ultimate contract into the
i right hand, and so forth, refuse
to concede that these are such
advanced points of expert bidding
that the average player cannot take
them into consideration. In many
hands I know that it may require the
most delicate refinement of partner
ship bidding to achieve this result, and
let me assure you that even the head
liners misbid plenty of hands with
regard to these special points. Never
theless, there are a great number Of
hands where the placing Of the
declaration with reference to the
worst possible opening lead can be
very simply and obviously handled
even by mediocre players who do not
make a profound study Of this game.

Weddings
BY EMILY POST.

"DEAR MRS. POST: My marriage
was annulled, and now that I
am to be married again, may I wear
sthe bridal veil and orange blossoms,
and have a rather large wedding in
church? I mean, does the fact that
my first marriage was absolved COM
pletely make me a bride for the first
time III the eyes of the world?"
Answer: If you choose, you may
wear a wedding veil. but think it
would be in much better taste to wear
a hat. Anything that can possibly
cause comment would better be
avoided You could have big we'd
ding, with as many attendants as
you like (although widow has only
one), and. of course, wear white with
a hat $50 might widow and you
might perhaps wear or carry orange
blossoms. since they are not so plainly
emblematical of first marriage as is
a wedding veil.
MY dear Mrs Post: (a) What Is
your principal reason for saying that
the bride asks her nearest male rela-
tive or family friend to walk with her
in the procession, if there is no father
to do this? (b) 1t seems to me that
her mother would be entitled to this
place. And l am sure 1 have heard
Of a wedding at which the mother die
walk with the bride"
Answer: (a) The principal reason
is that Of established convention
which prescribes every other detail for
the performance Of the marriage cere-
mony. (b) 1t has been done, but it is
not correct, and in the opinion of
most people, the mothers clothes
spoil the picture. But if bride
chooses to walk up the aisle with her
mother. or her baby sister, or the
bridegroom, there is no law (that ]
know of against it. But correctly
the bride walks on the arm of her
father, or another man who takes his
place. Or else she walks alone.
Dear Mrs. Post: My daughter has
lived with my mother and father for
years; I've married again and don't
live near my parents home. They
would like very much to give my
daughter her wedding and reception
in which case the invitations will have
to be sent out in their name. because
my name would include a third sur
name as we'll as mention of a STEP
father, and l am perfectly willing that
my parents include just their own
names and that of their grand
daughter if it is proper?"
Answer: Yes, it will be proper.

Everyday Psychology
BY JESSE w. SPROWLS.
Capea ror,b;nar

Sense Combiner.
The human being, like all other
living things, is equipped with sense
organs. The ones we know most
about are the organs of sight, hear
ing, smell, taste, touch, temperature,
pain and pressure. BY far the most
important organ of information is the
brain, which always has been and
probably always will be something of
a mystery. The brain is the sense
combiner.
BY means of this sense combiner
we are able to work our information
over into new experiences. At least
they seem new So marvellous is the
working of the sense combiner that
we are driven to the conclusion that
We possess something different and
apart from our bodily parts. That
something Is popularity called a mind
= Whatever the sense combiner may
be or do, one thing is certain. 1t
makes it possible for us to dis
tinguish between a world of outside
things and a private inside world.
In other words, it helps us to know
that We are all something different
from every other something on the
face of the earth.
In brief, it gives meaning to mean
ing. It puts our world in order for
Us. 1t is the organ of knowing. It
is the intellect at work.

Flying Adventures.

Falling to Fame.
@HE name, parachute" means
ito ward off fall" and is at
least fairly true to the fact.
i Parachutes do not keep people
from falling, but they do much
to guard against hard falls.
During the period when men were
learning to rise in balloons, several in
ventors tried to devise umbrellas which
would ease a fall to the ground. One
man, holding kind of umbrella in
each hand, jumped from a tower in
France and landed without hurt. He
thought that parachutes would be a
great help to persons in upper stories
of buildings during a fire.
Another man placed a dog in a
parachute and rose with a balloon.
He cut cord and the dog went safely
to earth.
The dogs weight, however, was
small compared with that of a man;
and it was an exciting and extremely
doubtful moment when a throng Of
people gathered to watch Jacques
Garnerin leap from the clouds"
The event took place near Paris on
an October day in 1897. Seated in
a basket beneath folded parachute.
Garnerin was pulled upward by bal
loon. 1t was a solo flight, but that
was the least exciting fact about it.
At a height of more than 1000 feet.
the daring young man (then 81 years
of age) released his parachute.
In moment the parachute opened.
1t was about yards in diameter
and was very much like huge UNI
brella, though more strongly made
than the usual umbrella.
From side to side the parachute
swayed, and Garnerin's basket rocked
wildly. How many in the watching
crowd expected him to crash to his
death is it impossible to say, but it
is recorded that women tainted at the
sight of the fall.
After moments which seemed hours,
he landed safely in an open field.
Except for being "seasick" because of
the rocking of the air, he showed no
sign of any injury.
Five years later Garnerin made
a visit 10 England and gave public
notice that he would try another
parachute jump. Carried upward by
his balloon to a height believed to
have been close to 5000 feet, he used
his knife to cut the parachute free

could he see. 1t wasn't the first time
he had looked for those sweet singers
Of the Smiling Pool and, as now,
looked in vain.
1T certainly is a funny thing how
so many singers can make so much
noise and still keep out Of sight"
thought he.
Then Jerry did a thing he often
had done before. His tail was hang
ing in the water. He lifted it out
and brought it down on the water
with a slap and instantly that chorus
stopped There wasn't so much as
single peep TO be heard. Jerry grinned.
Then he sat still and waited. Within
a few minutes that first voice began
again, and once more the chorus was
in full swing.
Now it happened that Jerry was
idly looking down in the water a
couple of feet from where he sat and
presently his attention was caught by
a silvery bubble that seemed to swell
larger and larger until it burst. Any
way it disappeared. But in a moment
there was another in the same place.
Evening star., 1934-05-02
Singing Bubble.


Look down on none and hold in scorn
'' old Mother Nature.
TINE Smiling Pool was a busy
place. Yes, sir, it was busy
place. 1t always was in Spring
l. Jerry and Mrs. Muskrat
were not the only busy people
there. No, indeed. You see there was
considerable home building around
the Smiling Pool Some of the
feathered folk were nest building or
already patiently sitting on eggs. And
these same feathered folk had to do
a lot of hunting for food. So there
was a great deal Of coming and going,
and few had time to pay much at
tention to others or pry into their
affairs. And there was great deal
of happiness there. Some of them
were so happy that they had to let
everybody know it by singing. Jerry
Muskrat was sure that there could be
no happier place in all the Great
World than was the Smiling Pool.
Now that he had his landing places
built Jerry spent considerable time
using them, sometimes one and some
times another. He would sit on one
to eat a bit of flag root. then swim
to another to eat the tender part Of
a newly grown rush or some other
green thing that tempted him. But
most of all he enjoyed sitting on his
favorite old log in the twilight and
opening a clam which he had dug
out of the mud not far away.
He was ust licking his lips one eve
ming after eating a clam when there
was a clear, sweet, high voice which
seemed to come from so near him
that it almost startled him. and this
voice was the signal for the evening
chorus which chants the Joy Of
Spring. First there we're those few
clear notes, then others joined in,
and in a few minutes it seemed as if
the Smiling Pool itself were singing
There were many single clear notes
like those first ones. There were
others that trilled, and still others
not pitched so high.
Those voices seemed to come from
the water all around Jerry, yet look
as he would he couldn't see a single
singer. No, sir, not single singer
