How 1t Started
BY JEAN NEWTON.
"All Balled Up,"

NOWADAYS people get "all balled
up" in numberless predicaments,
the phrase being generally used to
indicate either a condition of mental
confusion or some physical situation
from which one can with difficulty
be extricated.
The expression comes to US from
the parlance of the country, as ap-
piled originally to horses.
Years ago. when our roads were not
the gliding rinks of the present,
snowplows cleaned rather uneveply.
As a result, horses that Travelled them
would soon get their shoes clotted into
hard-packed snow pellets, which
caused them to slip and stumble.
The driver would then have to get
down and clean out the horSeShoes
which were "all balled up" with the
snow.

the queen, third, and my play of
the ace and king of hearts would
set UP his stopper.
Any hesitation would have been
fatal. I went up with the ace of
hearts, and played a small heart
back This play is almost sure to
win. no matter whether my partner
holds the queen of hearts, or whether
he holds the jack of hearts. The
declarer ducked to the ten-spot in
dummy; my partner won with the
jack, and returned a third round
which I won with the king. Subse-
quently, he took in the ace of trumps.

This is purely a duplicate hand,
but the tale of how South held East
to four spades, although he had
failed to open clubs originally, is
fairly interesting from the viewpoint
of nice defensive play. Some day
South will set East at four spades by
putting up that kind of defense.

To clean cut glass, wash it in

The sawdust absorbs moisture.
Remove the sawdust with a soft

When burning vegetable refuse
put a handful of salt into the

Buenos Aires, capital of Ar

Latin city in the world, lies to
the south. 1t was first founded
in 1885 by Pedro de Mendoza,
who had a commission from
the Spanish king to establish
colonies in the south.
Mendoza himself sailed for
Spain and died on the voyage
home; his followers found it
impossible to hold the fort
against the hostile Indians.
They sailed farther up the river,
and established the city Of
Asuncion-but later on BuenoS
Aires again came into Spanish
hands to be held as the capital.

Worlds LoneIiest Isle Included
On Extended Cruise

Solitude and isolation will get
another setback next March
when the lonely islanders of
Tristan da Cunha, located in the
South Atlantic Ocean, midway
between Buenos Ayres and Cape
Town, greet the Canadian Pa
cific liner Empress of Australia
on the final third of her Medi-
terranean South Africa South
America cruise.
The liner, leaving New York
on January Is, will be one Of the
very few vessels to touch at this
tiny mid-Atlantic island. Dur
ing the past four years this
British-owned island has also
been visited by the Empress of
France and the Duchess of
Atholl.
When the Empress of France
last visited Tristan da Cunha,
J. Walker Bartlett, then purser
aboard the liner but now serv-
ing in the same capacity aboard
the Empress of Australia, OBJ
served closely the character of
the land and its inhabitants.
According to Mr.. Bartlett,
the islanders are peaceful and
quite religious. They are stolid.

Food is sometimes a problem,

supplemented by mutton, fish
and potatoes, also penguin and

mostly for birthday celebrations
and holidays. Birthday greet

The second notable similarity
is the fact that the continent
was first visited by Europeans
in 1893, when Columbus, upon
his third voyage touched at the
mouth of the Orinoco!
From then on, Of course, other
navigators followed fast, and
the true development of the
southern continent began, al
most entirely under Spanish and
Portuguese influence.
Variety Of Scenery
The result is a group of most
delightful countries, each one
presenting to the visitors some
especial variety Of scenic and
native charm.
The extent of the principal
South American republics is stu
pendous. Brazil itself is bigger
than the combined area Of the
United States by almost 100000
square miles.
South America has, too, q re-
markable range of clirnate-.he
seasons being, of course, the re-
verse of our own The mighty
mountains, great rivers and vast
plains provide an ever beautiful
variety of scenery.
Travel in South America, &C.
cording to the American Express
Company, is now the height of
luxury and modern convenience,
so that the tourist may enjoy
the wealth of beauty at his COM
mand without the distraction of
minor AnnoyanCes and diScom-

The cities of South America
are noted for their beauty. Rio
