ANCIENT CLUB RULES

The custom among luncheon clubs of
the United States, whereby club is sup
posed to limit its membership to only one
of each business or profession recalls a
similar rule of the famous Spectator Club,
organized by Addison, the English essayist.
more than two centuries ago.
In that day the rule was stated thus:
None shall be admitted into the club that
is in the same trade with any member in
it,
Some other rules of the Spectator
Club, however, find no counterpart among
the modern regulations governing the Ro-
tary, Kiwanis and similar organizations,
but they are nevertheless interesting, the
following being examples:
IF any member sWears or curses, his
neighbor may give him a kick upon the
shins.
"If any member tells stories in the
club that are not true, he shall forfeit for
every third lie half penny.
eff any member brings his wife into
the club, he shall pay for whatever she
drinks or smokes.
IF any members wife comes to fetch
him from the club, she shall speak to him
outside the door,
The last rule was considered quite
necessary in day when there were no tele-
phones, and may have enabled timorous
husband to escape by the back door while
a faithful steward assured his wife that he
was not at the club.

A BROKEN DOWN HORSE

Two years ago a wholesale grocer of
Benton, ILL.,, took a fancy to supposedly
broken down race horse named Indian.
sRunner and paid So 1000 for him. Maybe
it was mere whim or a gamblers bunch
which caused the grocer, D. a. Woods, to
make an investment which most turfmen
would have considered unspeakably
foolish. But see what happened.
After giving Indian Runner good care
and few weeks of rest Woods entered
him at Lincoln Fields, where he broke the
track record in his first race. Since then
he has virtually monopofized the handicap
stakes in the West
On the 4th of July he won for the
second consecutive year the Stars and
Stripes handicap at Arlington Park, where
he has also won the Inaugural handicap
the last two years. His total winnings to
date have been $45, 900, not bad return
on $3,000 investment. And he isn't
finished yet.
All of which goes to confirm the old
saying that you can't tell by merely look
ing how far frog can jump or how fast
horse can run.

SPEEDY NEW TRAINS

Al sort of preamble to the answer of
the railroads to the airplane's challenge
is seen in two new, light, fast streamlined
trains recently built and tested--one for
the Burlington and one for the Union
Pacific.
Both of these are three-car trains,
constructed of a new alloy having the
strength Of steel but weighing only one
third as much. an entire train being only
about the weight Of a standard Pullman.
Al maximum speed of III miles an hour
against 32-mile head wind has been at
tanned at fuel cost of about one-fifth of
that of three-car steam train.
Officials expect to soon establish a
regular schedule requiring only two nights
and one day between Chicago and the
Pacific coast, or a reduction of the present
time by about 40 per cent. Thus a bust
ness man making the trip would lose only
one day en- route, the same as he would
lose in travelling by airplane.
Additional new six-car and nine-car
trains of the same type are now being built
and will be put into service before the end
of the year. 1t is probable that other rail-
roads will adopt similar high-speed trains,
with the result that in few years the
present type of passenger train may be en-
tirely obsolete.

The Files OF The Citizen


Much regret was expressed in
Key West over the failure of the.
Dade County Commissioners to
award the contract at their meet
ing this week for construction of
the roadway from Florida City to
the Dade approach to the Key
Largo bridge. Two bids were Of
'fered but the commissioners re-
fused to accept either of them.
Based ON the information that
has been received here from Dade
county the commissioners will, at
their next meeting, in all probable
iity give out the contracts. This,
iof course, is only surmise but it
lis expected that there will be suf-
0ficient pressure brought to have
them act especially as this is the
aone obstacle to through traffic by

A modern novelist,s fayori

A modern novelist's favorite hero is
the boy who rises to wealth through
honesty, obedience and hard work. There
has been a question of throwing out his
work as literature, because the hero is not
modern enough. If the modern successful
man has not risen through these qualities,
il is an awful indictment against him.

The apparently worthless hand held by West, today. is called a Marlborough. But the fact that you have all low cards lets you know that some of the outstanding high cards are in your partners hand, and as a result the declarer may be able to get a squeeze or an end play on him, unless you do your best to protect him by proper discards.
 Pre-emptive bidders would like to open South's hand with bid of four or five diamonds However, the better players have discon- tinued pre-emptive bids, as they usually shut out no one but your partner. Therefore, believe South's proper declaration is to pass. North has two defensive tricks and two major suits--so he is justified in opening the bidding third hand.
 With bid and re-bid by his partner, we might say that South was justified in Jumping to six dia- monds. However. the safer declara- ton would be five diamonds, and, if partner had any additional strength, let him take the contract to six.
