men flows in the veins Of modern
Spanards, but in the main the
Spaniards are descended from native
Iberians and from Celts.
The common skin color is dark and
the same is true of the hair and eyes,
but many blood Spaniards live in
Northern Spain, especially along the
Bay of Biscay coast. Like Irish folk,
blond Spaniards are Of Celtic stock.
In Southern Spain there is a mix
ture of Moorish blood. The Moors
crossed from Northern Africa and by
the year ia they had won control
over the greater part of Spain. Chris
tan Spaniards fought against them
and drove them to Andalusia. where
they made their last stand. In 1892,
the year in which Columbus first
crossed the Atlantic, the Moore lost
what remained of their power in
Spain.
Andalusia is famed for its olive
crop and produces thousands Of tons
Of olive oil each year. 1t also pro-
duces dates, figs and oranges.
The weather Is so fine in Southern
Spain that school classes often meet
out of doors. A visitor may watch

Everyday Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE W. sPRoWLs.
Misunderstanding.

One of my readers wrote me some
time ago that he had trouble In under
standing people. About the time he
thought he had some one figured out,
he discovered that he was mistaken. In
consequence of these establishments.
he hit upon the idea of reading books
or psychology. Accordingly, he asked
for list of the sort of books he should
read. An exchange Of correspondence
brought the information that this man
had set himself above the majority for
some reason. He had habitually lived
outside the real world of people.
No wonder he couldn't understand
the majority! In order to understand
people. you must associate with them.
No amount of book-reading will take
the place of that one volume called
the Book of Nature" The best that
any man-made book can do is to focus
your attention upon general principles.
The details of psychology must be
read and interpreted directly.
Why is 1t that the country man mis-
understands the city man? And vice
versa? They live in different worlds.
Why Is 1t that officers Of the law take
stock in the theory that the best way
to catch a criminal is to hunt him
with the aid of a criminal? Again
the answer is obvious. Those who
have associated with the type know
the type.

Still he didn't hurry about it. You
see, at first he felt rather stiff from
having lain so long curled up in a
ball. But at last he slowly made his
way up his long hall to the doorway
and poked his head out. Jolly, round,
bright Mr. Sun was shining and made
Johnny Chuck blink. 1t was very
dazzling, for everything was white
with snow and this reflected the light
into Johnnys eyes. There was too
much light. He shook his head and
drew back little to gradually get
used to the light.
1t was new world to Johnny
Chuck. When he had gone to sleep
there had been plenty of green grass
and yellow leaves on the trees. Now
there was no green anywhere save far
away in the Green Forest, where the
pines and spruces and hemlocks still
were green. But these Johnny could
not see from his doorway. All he
could see was white. 1t wasn't his
world at all. No. sir, it wasn't his
world 1t was a new world. For a
long time he sat looking out. Nothing
was familiar, not even his doorstep.
Finally he ventured out on his door,

He looked just about as fat as when

How 1t Started
That Work Bachelor"
BY JEAN NEWTON.

To our understanding a bachelor is
an unmarried man. Oh, we have
heard of the term in academic de-
grees, Of course. such as bachelor of
arts" but we accept that as just one
Of those subsidiary uses that words
have. 1t Is the single man, one "eli-
gible," that bachelor" will always
connote, first and last for US!
And yet the subsidiary use is in
tegrally part of the origin of the
word. We have 1t. through the French
'bachelier," meaning a young man.
This was from the italian "bac-
calareu," which in its origin connoted
"the tenant Of a kind Of farm
called 'baccalaria,' a soldier not old
or rich enough to lead his retain
ers into battle with a banner" In
other words, one not yet ION his own
a novice. The usual implication of
the word was youth. Hence its ex-
tension to "a person of inferior aca-
denical degree inspiring to a doc
torate"
Instead Of offering prizes or subsi-
dies for marriages, 1t might be q good
idea for those countries wishing to
promote matrimony to announce to
bachelors that their name implies

forest, It reminds you Of the ever
green oaks to be round in the South
east and California valleys These
trees do not grow to great heights,
and are seldom more than so feet.
They do not crowd each other, as do
our oaks. They have a waist line
of to 18 inches. They seem to have
an individual way of growing and
are very healthy and hearty in ap-
pearance.
The harvest time begins In July.
Experts are engaged to remove the
cork overcoat of the tree. At this
time the bark Is easily removed by
natives who use very sharp knife
lengthwise up the trunk for about
5 feet. The tree is girdled and the
prying tool Is slipped in and the cork
removed
The tree bravely sets to work to
overcome the loss of its coat and be-
gins at once to grow another one.
Its trunk at first becomes a deep
red and the trees are unusual look
ing. Young trees produce the best
cork after the first coat. The first
one is used for making granulated
cork, the process being to grind the
bark up into fine particles and press
1t into sheets that are used in lining
refrigerators. The bark Is some
times removed from the limbs of the
larger trees.
After the bark has been removed.
1t Is dried in the open air. The
thickness varies from u to 21a
inches, according to the age, size
and health of the tree Each tree
will yield from As to so pounds of
bark. Considering how light it is,
this Is good yield. After the bark
is dry 1t is taken to the mill where
each piece is flattened out by a pro-
cess Of steaming and when the bark
is rough it is scraped.
Some very interesting experiments
are In progress at the University of
California, and it Is believed that
great cork forests may be grown in
America.
The uses Of cork are many. II Is
light and bouyant. It resists air and
liquids and is slow to conduct heat

used for fishing rod handles, pen
holders, life belts, inner-sole mats
and even mattress stuffing.

Conquering Contract
BY P. HAL SIMS

no trumps or three in a suit, and
your partner now bids other suits, you
should become very suspicious of the
normality of his opening bid. Par
ticularly if he bids two suits, showing
willingness or even eagerness to play
the hand at the level of four, which,
of course, implies willingness to play
in four no trumps as no suit has been
found so far. You must suspect that
he has a 44-4-1 hand and beware of
passing his suit bids or of showing any
preference for either suit, unless you
have four trurnps for him. With less
than this, revert to no trumps. Only
if he has bid a suit twice may you
assume that it is five-card suit, so
that three trumpS in your hand will
supply normal support for it. The
slam angle is likely to be remote since
We are assuming that you could only
respond In minimum terms. And this
brings me to a slightly more precise
method of making slam try In re-
spending to two no trumps. Now
adays we must not pass up any oppor-
tunity to improve our slam bidding,
and especially the grand-slam possi-
bilities-plainly matter principally
Of aces in this particular bidding Sc
quence-must be carefully tended.
Response of four no trump in reply
to two may be made when your hand
offers two sure re-entries in no-trump
play. This is, as ever, the basis of a
natural response, and your partner
needs natural response for a slam
try. In view of the great conglomer-
alton Of high cards promised by the
opening bid, you should Judge these
probabilities more leniently than If
you were showing two entries over a
one-no-trump bid. Your partner has
shown far greater promoting power
for your face cards, and the opponents
will hold few high cards against you.

Some one else, however, has come
along declaring that the name Of
Biddle Is derived from Beadle, which
was the name Of the office of mes
senger or crier at. court. The first
explanation appears TO be better
founded.
The ancestral home OF The Biddls
family was in Staffordshire. England.
The coat Of arms reproduced was
borne by the distinguished colonist,
William Biddle Q630-17l2. He was
a member Of the Council and General
Assembly of the Province of West
Jersey in 1882, and was president of
this body In l706-7. William Biddle
was the son of Michael Biddle Of
Elmshurst, Stafordshire, England
There have been and are today many
eminent descendants Of this family,
Clement Biddle (1740-1814) was
tary forces in Pennsylvania, Mary
land and Delaware. He was ap-
pointed by Gen. Washington to re-
ceive the swords of the Hessian
officers at the Battle Of Trenton. The
name of Biddle is particularly prom
inent In Philadelphia today.
Representatives of this name who
settled In the New England States
were John of Hartford, Conn. in
1889, and Joseph Of Marshfeld,
Mass, in 1886.

Cork.
~ o you know the source of
bottle shoppers? And have
you ever paused to think
~ what we would do without
cork? There are SO many
things given to us to meet our needs
that we rarely stop even to wonder
were they originated.
There 300 varieties of oak trees,
but only one of them has bark with
cork qualities. This is an evergreen
oak found on the shores of the Med
iterrean, which for over $50 years has
given a spongy outer bark that is
soft and light. Each year there Is
crop or supply built up.
There are forests Of these wonder
full trees to be found in Portugal and
Spain, in Southern France, Italy,
AlgierS, Sardinia, TunS and on the
north coast of Africa. The trees
trees. with wide, bushy crowns.
Even in ancient days the Greek
and Roman fishermen cut blocks of
the bark from the cork oak and
fastened them to the corners OF
seines. Today, fishermen have cork
to hold their seines, too, but they are
evenly shaped and bought along with
the net.
In the fifteenth century, glass and
earthenware containers were found
to be doubly valuable for holding
liquids, If they could be sealed. Cork
then came to be in great demand, and
another important industry was born.
The supply was ready and had been
for years. 1t was only awaiting the
demand.
The greatest manufacturing and
production centers are to be found
in the Spanish Provinces of Cata-
lonia, Andalusia and Estremadura,
as weIl as the Tagus River Valley of
Portugal. When you see the great
