CITY COUNCIL AND LIQUOR.

On two counts the City Council last week ex- nibted sound common sense with respect to liquor control Virtually every member of the Council openly declared against any ordinance which would force the retail liquor to close between am and daily. Experience of law enforcement officers has shown that the heaviest liquor sales are between II pm. and the early morning hours. If their trade strictly in compliance with the regula- tions of the Board of Liquor Control are forced to shut their doors during that period the sales will undoubtedly be made by the bootlegging fraternity. Compulsory early closing would not only penalize legitimate business it would put premium on those who violate the law
 Members of the Council said they had been advised by at least member of the Board of Liquor Control that restaurants could beer out of bottles between l a.m and am. as long as it was with meals, but that they cannot serve draught beer during that period of the day even with food The Council by unanimous vote adopted a motion asking the Board to change that particular regulation. It declared it should not make any difference whether beer served with food by the restaurants at any hour of the day was from bottles draught. That is good reasoning. Under the regulations of the Board restaurants l- censed to serve beer and wine with meals render ought not make any difference whether the beer, or wine for that matter, is drawn from bottles or from kegs barrels.

WE ARE HERE NOW.

The dominant white race came from Asia to Europe and from Europe it crossed to America. It's progress has been with the sun, following it from the east to the west The Smithsonian Insti- tuition says that the Indians reversed this-they came from the west to the east From Asia they travelled by way of Boring Strait and slowly, wave after wave, occupied the continent Probably they were in Alaska and the Pacific for many cen turies before they found their way to the interior of America and reached the Atlantic coast
 Columbus made his first voyage in 1492, and in the intervening time Europeans have settled all of North America. The Smithsonian experts think it took the Indians thousands of years to accomplish what we have done in few hundred years These experts are making a map showing the mgrations of Indians from the southwest and then northward until they met in Tennessee or Kentucky. Naturally much of all this must be speculation. In Ohio there are remains of the Mound Builders apparently evil dences of people who had been there a very long time. Then they vanished perhaps swept away by stronger and warlike of people descending upon them from the north or south There can be no more than theories about it.

Gentler Pipe Smokers.

 Since the days when Queen Elizabeth used to enjoy her pipe of tobacco with Sir Walter Raleigh the custom of pipe smoking by women has had it's ups and downs, until it's at almost an all time low. The cigarette is pre-emnent.
 When Mrs Belle Rhymes of Savannah Ga, died the other day, the fact that she smoked pipe received almost equal attention in her obituaries with her remarkable age She was 123 She at trbuted her longevity, indeed, to her pipe smoking as well as to her placid disposition
 But customs change about. During her lifetime Mrs Rhymes might have pointed to two wives of Presidents who smoked their pipes-Mrs Andrew Jackson and Mrs. Zachary Taylor. Mime.

Ten-Year-OId
BY EMILY POST.

DEAR Mrs. Post am widower
- with a 10-year-old daughter, and
we live in a one-maid house. Feeling
keenly my obligation to this lone child,
! have tried TO run an orderly house.
During the week, breakfast Is our
only meal together. and 1t is served on
a small winged table beside favorite
window, and with the best our house
affords. At noon she has light meal
in the same place alone, and again
about S she has her supper, which is
shared with a young guest Of her choos-
ing. However, Sunday is our one big
day, and then-right or wrong-I like
to see her in her mothers place in
the dining room. She does make a
good start, but usually winds up by
sitting on my lap to eat her dessert.
This is perfectly all right to me, only
soon expect few in-laws for a
visit, and I want her to be the little
lady, more In memory of her mother
than anything else, because it would
have pleased her so to have it that
way. Is there anything you could
make plain to 10-year-old, so that
her daddy might seem less Of a ty-
rant? Couldn't we make this role
more like playing house fun9 But
I'm just bewildered father, ambi-
tious but not very inventivel"
Answer-Every now and then I am
brought fact to face with the fact
that I am an incurable sentimentalist,
to whom the world of today has little
flavor-call it sentiment, or affection,
or companionship Of love, or what
ever else it may bel But your descrip-
ton of the two in the window, and
your child's impulse to bring your one
formal meal to happy ending, with
no dividing table width between you,
suggests a picture of home" as it
ought to be.
It seems to me that you ought to
feel sure (you might tell her sol that
she can and will have all the grace of
department that her mothers child
should possess. But in your place, I
would not risk the spelling of a spon-
taneous gesture; would not, for the
world, make her think that a natural
evidence of her affection could be a
falling short Of the requirements OF
a little lady. Soon enough. she will
be no longer a child, and soon enough
drift away from childish things
Meanwhile, surely those who loved
her mother cannot but find comfort
in the plainly told story of a father
who has obviously been proved worthy
of his trust.

Everyday Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE w. SPRowLs.
Your Mental Contents.

Il HE brain proper is composed of
great number of tiny cells,
known as brain cells. That much is
known for certain. As TO the exact
number of them we have only the
conservative estimates of brain spe-
cialists to go by. Not so many years
ago 1t was estimated that there were
something like SOC, 1000 900 of them. A
few years later a certain German
savant, more liberal with figures
doubled that estimate and made il
1,20O, ,000,0 Then, about five years
ago, an Englishman came along and
raised the estimate to the almost un-
thinkable number Of 1000, ,000, 900.
Whatever the number is, let us
suppose that one idea may become
associated with each cell. That will
give you fairly stable mental contents,
even If you accept the smallest esti-
mate Of the number of cells.
But these brain specialists have
something more to say. They tell us
that each cell is potentially associated
with every other cell, and that one
cell may carry a potentiality for per
haps so different ideas. One of these
IDEAS may at any moment be aroused
without disturbing the slumbers of the
others.
Reasoning from this point of view.
there is no limit to the number of
'diferent ideas you may have in your
mental contents. At any rate. the
number exhausts the language of the
mathematician, and leaves lis onlv
guessing, perhaps estimating.

VERY bid in contract does or
- should have purpose. The
only trouble is that some play
IL ers carry the tactics OF a GER
tain bidding situation over
into another situation without weigh
ing the possible consequences. For
example, take this business of bidding
four-card suits upward. 1t was de-
vised to facilitate one-over -one and
to show your partner more definitely
that your major suit is only four
cards in length. The latter advan-
tage compensates for the fact that
your partner believes you to hold a
five-card minor suit.
I once saw a certain book" player,
after he had assimilated this rather
vaguely, bid a five-card minor suit
in preference to an equally good five
card major suit. When questioned
as to the reasoning behind this un-
usual reversal, he confidently gave
advantage No. above-"to get one
Overcome response The fact that
his partner will surely count him
for a six-five distribution, after he
has managed to rebid his major suit,
utterly destroys the somewhat doubt
full advantage of the ohe-over- -one
in such a situation.
Since a good many players believe
in the accuracy of my system and
the fact that it contains bids to meet
all possible situations, they resent q
partner who refuses to give them the
correst response. Mr.. A, playing In
a New York bridge club, bid heart
on a hand containing flve-card
suits. His partner responded with
one spade. He bid two clubs-his
other suit. Partner bid two spades.
Holding the singleton deuce of clubs,
he jumped to four spades. He argues
that since his partner had refused
to give him choice, her spade suit
must be practically solid-therefore
the jump to game. Partner retorted
correctly that, so far as she was con-
cerned, his club suit was only four
cards in length, therefore, she rebid
her five spades to the ace, king. even
though she held three clubs to the
king.
All this is a preamble to the fact
that you should not raise your part
ners third-hand-min opening.
unless, after searching wildly, you
can't find better bid in your hand
Naturally, this raise should not be
made on less than @ XXX Xxx or
K j x, because your partner. even
if he holds only a doubleton- club,
is going to play the hand in two
clubs. You have told him that you
hold no four-card suit to give him
a one-over- -one. A rescue on his part
would force the bidding up to three,
