Contract Bridge

try to locate the missing high cards,
and you will be able to play the
hand in double dummy fashion, as
did William Parsons of the Yale
University School of Law.
Mr.. Parsons, analysing the hand,
said: In case of law, you have
to look for the points in your favor
and then work on them
Ana that was true in this particu-
lar hand. An early play located
the ace of clubs for him, so he went
to work on that point.
The bidding is given as it actu-
ally occurred at the table. West
felt that his double was justified,
since he had the diamonds and
hearts stopped and apparently had
good control of the club suit.
With singleton spade, it looked
as though his partner should have
that suit stopped.
L AST'S opening lead was the
H. deuce of diamonds, which Mr..
Parsons, in the North, won with the
queen. The ace OF hearts was
played, East discarding a spade
showing out-and warning the de-
clarer that West had the heart suit
stopped twice.
A small spade then was lead and
won in dummy with the ace. The
declarer returned the three of clubs
from dummy, West played the ten,
declarer the queen, and East the
deuce.
This play clearly marked West
with the ace of clubs. West already
was marked with four hearts to the
jack-nine, as East had showed out
of hearts. Mr.. Parsons cashed his
ace and king of diamonds, and then
king, queen and jack of spades,
bearing down to king queen and ten
of hearts and king of clubs in dunn
my.
West, to retain three hearts to the
jack. was forced to bear down to the
blank ace of clubs. So Mr.. Parsons
now led a small club, which West
was forced to win with the ace,
and now he had to lead away from
his jack, nine, eight of hearts into
dummy'S king, queen, ten.
BY aid Of a squeeze and end play,
Mr.. Parsons had made his contract.

been like you in many things such

him to fear God and never fear
man, but remember the golden
rule and live up to it.
The reason we have so much
crime today is because parents are
so engroSsed in their own affairs
that the children turn to their
evil associates for help and adj
vice, and it often ends like the
crime we are reading in the papers

When some one writes you and
speaks about God you always

ated his purchase and knows ex-
actly how long its flavor will last.
The mothers want TO be unSelfiSh.
According to Mary PickfOrd, such
women are making a big mistake.
Wives, so she says, are often too
kind. She goes so far as TO Sug-
gest a school where they might be
taught TO be reasonably selfish. All
in all. il is a fairly good idea. WOm-
en-, wives and mothers and Office
secretaries should present their de-
mands and ask credit.
Just because a man likes lemon
pie and a woman doesn't is no rea-
son at all why every pie that co mes
out of her oven should be lemon.
II pumpkin is her favorite, why
shouldn't .the man with the citrus
taste sample a pumpkin pie occa-
siOnally? Or better still-only its
more work for the woman. of course
why not bake two small pies so
each can eat in peace?
Few naturally Selfish
Because a man wants to spend
his vacation on a peaceful farm in
the country is no reason why his
wife. who is hungry for cool noun
tain wind or the brlny touch of salt
air should devote her two weeks Of
relief listening 10 the lowing of the
sheep, and drOning of the bees in
the clover. If the two can't CO.
operate. each having half time in
his chosen paradise, why can't the
woman pack her bag and stop pour
ing her husbands breakfast coffee
for fourteen days?
But she won't. Not the usual
woman. She will worry, if she
does. Worry about one of two
things. Either that her husband
will find some one else to pour the
amber fluid or that he will take it
too strong or endure it too weak
since she isn't there to intercede.
For women naturally are unself-
ish. They adore surrendering their
rights TO those whom they love.
And those whom they love seldom
realize that the surrender is made,
which Is the tragedy note in the
whole theme. If they do contem-
plats-between molaSSes kisses and
cocoanut bars-they either reflect
that she didn't want any anyway
or that the recipient of the secri-
fee is permitting the sacrificer a
great treat. She likes to do it. That
settles everything!
Each Gets Her Price
Yes. Miss Pickford is right. If
the women who have made them
selves into something resembling
the velvet coat that Sir Walter
Raleigh spread so England's queen
wouldn't get muddy feet. would
make some requests. their husbands
and children would regard them
more highly. Every woman sets her
own price. No man, whether he is
z or II or 81, maintains a steady
admiration for something that is his
for the taking. Yet. the unSelfish-
ness and kindness in women make
them wrap their favOrS and send
them c. .. d.
Certain women should be as kind
as ever. As conSiderate and loyal
and understanding. But if Miss
PickfOrd's proposed school could
teach them TO order creamed onions
when they want them instead of
the caUliflower preferred by the men
whom they love. honor and. yes,
obey. they would make the menu
considerably more inviting.

BY WALTER d. HICKMAN
TT is not necessary for American
l. authors to go back to early
pioneer and covered wagon days
to get material for a truly Amer
lean novel.
After reading Glass" by How
ard Stephenson, I was more con-
WINGED than ever that authors in
their own lifetimes may observe
facts, which will make a great
novel, honestly depicting Amer
lean life at definite period.
Such a novel is Glass" Such
a novelist is Howard Stephenson,
a new author, discovered by
Claude Kendall, the publisher.
The time Of this novel is the
near past or even the near pres
ent in Ohio. The author has
caught the conflict of an Ameri-
can farmer against the onruSh of
the machine age.
We are concerned with George
Rood, a farmer in the entire sense
of the term, and we meet him
first as he hurries in his horse
driven surrey at night to summon
Old Doc Purdy to the bedside of
his wife.
But Doc has passed out with too
much whisky and George had to
rely upon Hannah, Portuguese
woman, to see his wife, Evelyn,
through the critical time of child
birth.
GEORGE had many worries
NJ that night because natural
gas had been discovered on the
Karcher farm ocroSS the road
from the Rood place and George
was bitter against this Unbiased
hell" from the earth.
The gas well cast a strange
light over the Root place as the
angel of death took Evelyn away
forever, but left a baby boy.
George blamed and cursed the
gas wells for his wife's death. For
a time he even hated the little
bundle of flesh which was his son.
The author has caught the
mental and spiritual revolt in
George Rood and it is with a
struggle that he masters his dis
like for his own son.
George finally makes a vow that
his son Georgia will always keep
his hands on the pillow and the
two will fight against the demons
Of the earth which make good
farmers suddenly rich, careless
and prof1igate.
George Rood honestly hated
anything that was not created by
the sweat of humans. AS George
grew up, the father saw farm
after farm become gas fields.
THEN as the boom increased,
L an enormous glass works was
erected on the Karcher farm and
villages grew up overnight. Then
hundreds of men, foreigners of
the SOIL" Rood called them, went
to work in the glass works.
Masterfully, the author of
"Glass" has painted with words
the arrival of big industry next
to a farm.
George would not sell or lease
his farm to the gas interests. He
saw his farm dWindle in value as
fiery furnaces absorbed something
from the air.
1t is pathetic the way George
fought against remarriage, and

This is true for many rea-
sons. In no other mountainous
section of the world is there
such a wealth of blue shades
in the coves, along the ranges
and above the peaks. And not
only is the color angle consid-
cred. The mountains here, al
