queen, and banged out the king OF
diamonds. West retaliated by lun-
ming down his five clubs. and North
had three discards to make.
North's best discards leave him with
the XXX of hearts, the blank ace Of
spades and a high diamond. The De-
clarer will then throw him in with the
ace of spades, let him take his high
diamond, and give up the last two
tricks to the ace and queen of hearts.
If North, on the other hand, blanks
the king of hearts, West has terrific
guess. He may take the heart f1neSse,
in which case it IS just a question
whether he goes down one or two
tricks. II he doesn't discard the ace
Of hearts on the long diamonds, North
and South will take the last two tricks
with the ace and ten Of spades.
A nice double dummy hand, what?

Automatisms.

Automatisms.
nURING the past two or three
~ decades, those curious behavior
isms, called automatisms. have come
to occupy a central position among
things psychological Before the days
of DR.. Freud and his followers. psy-
biologists gave them no more than q
passing glance, a puzzled shrug Of the
shoulders, or a grunt intended to put
psychological riddles out of psychol-
ogy. Spiritualists only surmised that
they might mean something worth
while.
Then things began to happen. As
usual, commonplace events began to
attract the attention of science. AS
matters now stand, automatisms are
not only taken for granted, but
great deal of significance Is attached
to them. No psychologist of any re-
pute will deny the fact that they are
mixed up in some way with about
rs per cent of everything we do.
What is automatism? A fairly
workable definition is this: An autom-
atism Is any act that is performed
without your intention and full con-
sciousneSs Of its performance.
Automatic writing Is, perhaps, the
best example of an automatism.
There is nothing abnormal or spiritu-
alistic about it. Something like so
per cent Of all business men will un-
consciously draw, scribble, or even
write connected sentences, while hold
ing a conference with you. 1t would
appear that some people cannot think
until they put the automatic three
fourths of their personality to work.

Don't scold your wife in the presence
Of others, they might think that you
are afraid to do 1t when alone with

Possibly the popularity of air castles
is due to the fact that they are not
taxable.
Some people never accomplish any
thing because they have too much
patience with themselves.
Most men are willing to pay the
piper even If they do have to stand

A lot Of misguided individuals are

winning all the bookmakers' money.
In order to join the great silent

One of the usual sights in Spring is
flower venders, offering the fragrant
magnolia blossoms for sale. When
they are partly open and in their
background of glossy whorled leaves,
they are eagerly bought.
Why not plant our swamps to these
trees? Can you imagine anything
more lovely? Think of the fragrance
that would be sent out with every
breeze!
The wood is pale reddish brown
and weak. Beavers loved to fell these
trees for the building of their lodges,
in olden days. They use other trees
now, since the magnolia has been
treated so badly by determined SLOW
er lovers" who gather all within
reach and leave few to set seeds.
1t is claimed that wasteland planted
to these trees would, in a short time.

cuttings to return to the owner a

paying investment in this sense is yet
to be proven, but the return in beauty
would be hard to estimate.

The use Of head and foot In q

ton, Is one Of the natural metaphors
of language. We have had it from
the beginnings Of speech.
We find, fer example, in Genesis
Xvii, 81: "And he said, Swear unto
me; and he swore unto him; and
Israel bowed himself upon the head
of the bed"
In the same significance, we have
the head of the class and the loot Of
the class: the head of the column and
the foot of the column; and innumer-
able other applications. in some in
stances marking the distinction be-
tween "gentles and simples." in the
other designating diametrical dif-
