bombarded-by the British, the
Swedes and others. Yet it has stood
through dangers and is today an
active and important place.
Eight hundred years ago Copen-
hagen was only small fishing vii

tion made it grow swiftly during the
centuries which followed Ships which
sailed the Baltic Sea used Copen-
hagen more and more as a port. To-
day the city has population of three
quarters of million. counting
suburbs. The name "Copenhagen"
came from words meaning "Mer-
chants Harbor."
Denmark is a kingdom, but the
laws of the country are made by men
and women elected by popular vote,
as members of the "Rigsdag." The
Rigsdag meets in Copenhagen. 1t is
composed of two groups, the Land

Copenhagen has been called zone
of Europe's most beautiful cities" 1t
is the home of a very old university
and of two famous museums. One
sight of the town is a spire of the
Exchange Building. 1t Is made up
of the figures of four dragons. The
tails of the dragons come together
and form the top Of the spire. The
head of one dragon faces north, an
other faces south and the others look
east and west.
A famous Dane who once lived in
Copenhagen was named Tycho Brahe.

After clubs, diamonds, hearts and
spades had been bid several times, the
final contract was seven clubs by
South. West unkindly opened the
ten Of diamonds, thus putting South
to an immediate guess. South was a
distrustful type, however. He decided
that West had some such idea In his
mind when he led the suit, and went
up with the queen-not with entire
confidence. however, but with a small
prayer to the powers that be. When
the queen of diamonds held the trick.
South felt much better All that was
necessary was to get a four three split
in the suit, or to have the king drop
at some stage of the proceedings.
With this shining goal in sight,
South trumped small diamond. en-
tered dummy with the ace of clubs
and ruffed out another small diamond
The sad news was now disclosed. West
not only held the king of diamonds,
but he held it guarded five times.
South gave West reproachful look
There was one other hope-a faint
one. This was the possibility that
West held an honor in spades guarded
four times, or that he held both the
queen and jack. If this pleasant pros
pect materialized. West could be
squeezed out of his defenses against
the grand slam.
South laid down three more rounds
Of trump, on which West discarded
three hearts, delaying the fatal mo-
ment. The ace of hearts elected a
spade from West. but the lead OF the
king Of hearts fixed" South,s worthy
opponent. He could not retain three

would win the last four tricks with

Secrecy
BY ANGELO PATRI.

"DLEASE, Dad. will you let me have
q dollar? I want it for a Dutch
treat party my class is going to have
this week"
"Sure. But don't tell your mother"
mo. II she asks me anything, I'll
lust say Never mind That's all say
when she asks me things. She doesn't
need to know"
What people don't know won't
hurt them. Here's your dollar and
keep still about 1t. II your sister finds
it out she'll want something, too. and
then there'I be hooray about it,
The girls mother was sadly troubled
about her daughters attitude toward
her. Instead of coming home brimful
of tales of joyous happenings. as her
younger sister did, she kept aloof and
silent, speaking only to her father. If
her mother asked her a question, she
said very haughtily, 20 never mind.
It's only something that concerns dad
and me-"
The younger sister took mothers
side; perhaps in loyalty, perhaps In
self-defense She was being left out
Of things. Mother was the only one
in the family who paid the slightest
attention to her. She began to show
her resentment by making sharp
speeches, by calling her fathers at
tention to the fact that she was his
daughter as well as her sister, and de-
served some little attention from him.
Family relationships we're strained to
the breaking point.
Why did the father behave like
that? I don't know. 1t seemed to give
him some inward satisfaction. When
ever he could show his preference for
the older child, whenever he could pa
rade the secret understanding between
them, he delighted in doing it.
A division of affection like this Is
the end of all home spirit. The home
can live only as long as there are
family affection and understanding
that make living harmonious. When
these are wanting there can be no
place that the children know as home
1t is but a place of shelter. source
of supplies. Why a father. or a
mother for that matter. should wreck
the home which is their own creation,
is past understanding.
Delight in secrets is a childish pas
time The mind that depends upon
such thrills as secrets furnish is
truly infantile intelligence. Who
cares whether father gives his daugh-
ter money for a special treat? Why
should it be hidden? Who cares
whether mother takes a child to the
movies or not? Or buys doll for her?
What is there about such acts to make
them secret and assume importance?
Nothing but the childish thought of
creating a situation that becomes dra-
matte. Such drama is harmful to all
concerned. The secret giver and the
creator of secrets, most of all. is hurt
by his own behavior.
Grown-up people do not engage
i children in their personal battles. Only
childish people do this-they have so
little understanding of their own be-
havior and its effect on those about
them. Openness. cooperation. mu-
, tual affection are the expressions of
| the grown-up parents. And parents
ought to be grown-up in the eyes Of
their own children.

possibly be an engineer unless he knew
mathematics, science. some economics
and had some knowledge of business
problems. A doctor must have back
ground of science. psychology. psy-
chiatry and a cultured personality A
lawyer ought to know lot besides
law. And teacher has to know about
everything.
But a musician or an artist must
have technique. Each has to have
not knowledge, but skill. OF course,
I am not saying that musicians and
artists do not have to know anything
to succeed But they can get along
easily-an engineer could not. They
need not know how to make sulphuric
acid or how to conjugate a French
verb. What they have to do is to
draw, or sing or play.
If you will notice-thoSe Of you
who object to my argument for early
specialization in music or art-the
training which prominent artists and
musicians have had, you will better
understand my viewpoint.
Do you know of any prominent
singer who graduated from high school
went to college and never did anything
about singing until she had received
her college diploma? Do you know OF
any artist of importance who ignored
art training until he had cultural
background satisfactory to the aca-
demic school world? Do you know of
any great pianist who never touched
a piano except in very amateur way
for couple hours a week until he had
graduated from high school?
This idea Of an all-around education
before one specializes may be the rea-
son why we have Russian, Polish, Ger
man, Italian and French composers,
operatic stars, pianists and violinists.

Philip ap Howell, whose pedigree is

Brandlesome, County Lancaster, sprang
from Walter Powell of Bucknell in
Shropshire, who lived during the
reign of Queen Elizabeth. He was of
the posterity Of Rhys ap Tudor, King
Of South Wales.
The coat of arms here reproduced
was brought to America by William
Powell, an early Virginia settler,

James I, to the Virginia Colony, dated
May %. 1909 There are a great

l yers will say to young men
~ who are thinking of study
~ ing law: Get a background,
a broad cultural background; knowl-
edge of sociology, economics, philoso-

Doctors who know what they are

dents: 1T is mistake to neglect the
cultural side of education. It is a
mistake to take shortcuts in acquir-
ing a medical degree. 1t is well to
have thorough grounding in science
and general reading before starting
medical training. In addition. it is
fine for the doctor as an individual to
have the cultural background which
enhances his personality, and makes
him more useful to the community
and to himself"
My readers can see that am
against early specialization. And yet,
in the cases of music and art, it seems
to me it is absolutely necessary that
a young person who has real artistic
ability get right down to business early
in life. But here's letter:
