The Play
 Even though East had Did clubs, West correctly opened the king of diamonds, on which East played the three and South the four. .s+ Now, when you want your part- ner to continue with suit. you are supposed to give him a high card. When you want him td
 shift to another suit, you play low card.
 Well, of course you can see that East has no high diamond to give, excepting his queen, but he does play the highest one he has. West
 realizes that South may be con- cealins the deuce.
 To get more complete informa- ton, West shifts and plays the king of clubs; East plays the seven.
 Now the seven of clubs is much higher card than the three of diamonds, but, if you will ob- serve, West can account for every
 card under the seven spot. There fore. the play of the seven by East. even though 1t is high
 card. is telling his partner not to continue with that suit.
 West now plays the ace of dia- monds, and when he receives the
 deuce from his partner. he con tinues the diamond suit and de- feats the contract. If West had continued with the ace of clubs, the contractS would have bee n made.

1. Nothing indicates change in morality of a society so vividly as change in the habits of wo- men. For example, when women indulge openly in smoking and drinking 1t may not indicate we are goin to the bowwows over night, but it surely does not in- dicate an improvement in social morals. Where women chew to- bacco and swear we always find a low and backward state of mo- rals. Even habits, common among men but not in themselves ex- tremely bad, when espoused by women indicate a loosening of the social taboos which are among the most powerful forces that make for public morality.

 It is generally known nov that a feeling of insecurity is ai- most invariably reflected in g chifd's conduct.
 He has to feel that tomorrOw Is safe and sound, that his par ents will be on hand, that notb- Ing is likely to upset the family apple -cardt. And he goes to sleep c3ntentedIy if he knows he fits into the serene of things.
 Take away this snug g-as-a-bng subsconsciousness and sure ai fate he'll worry. Most little chtl' dren are approhenslve, all partlJ 50.
 one view of this feeling of se- curity escapes most parents. II concerns JOhnny's attitude tl himself. He feels more important and more secure if he has a righi smart part in play in the daily scene. He knows he must be pretty good and do at least most of the things he's told. If h. didn't have that sense of respon- sibiiity about his own place In the family ne wouldn't be sp happy.
 Needs RcgimentaDOn
 Every child accepts and needs this regimentation. It is very human to want to be given a part to play. To be left out of things is a most miserable state of af- fairs indeed. He likes to haze someone to answer to, even though he might deny it very loudly. He wants part in tfe scene and a director to tell him when heh is going well or i'll, when he is making a nuisance of himself or being just the very ticket.
 Recently many parents have relegated their children to the wings, figuratively, possibly be- cause they have read somewhei that children needed to express themselves without interruption.
 It has had sad results, this leaving Johnny out of the picture. He has missed his regimentation, his part in the play, his little acts that had to be just so to please the director and the in- presario. In almost every case the free-will child has been q failure.
 Must Have Free Hours
 All children, of course, do need some time to develop on their own. free hours-freedom of de- cision, too, sor many reasons. But such timets should be interludes rather-the pauses between acts. They cannot learn coordination with family life out on the frinGe somewhere. And they don't wan. 1t this way and don't improve un- der it. They feel left out.
 Someone to answer to IS the word - someone reasonable and understanding, naturally, who will appreciate the ohilds' age and motives when he makes mistakes. But he is willing in his heart to take correction. For that shows he is important enough to count. Copyright 1895, NEA Service Incl

with 2G. Harvard might account for the large number produced by Cambridge, but this does not ex- plain why Nashville should have two and one-half times as many leaders as Chicago and five times as many as Philadelphia and New York; nor why Kansas City, with 15, runs practically as high as Bos- ton with 16 famous persons per 100000 inhabitants. Biologists be- lieve the character of the early settlers and the later migrations have had a good deal to do with this astonishing phenomenon. 8. It is difficult to see how otherwise our good environment could have been created. It surely was not created by bad people and 1t did not fall out of heaven.
 Somebody created it; and the fact that we find far more good than
 bad people in this good environ ment indicates that good people
 both create and seek good sur

 She hung up the fur coat in the closet. Norman crossed to the door and stood with his hand on the knob.

"TherO is no excuse for the wo- man who allows her wsIstline to become thick and ugly" an exer- else teacher told me the other day. Exercises to keep this part of the body young and supple are tho easiest of all, require little time and can be done daily right st home"
 She went on to describe effec- tive routines which will prevent waistline thickness that is tho bane of any mature woman's exist cnce. Here are some of her sug- gestions:
 When you wake up in the morn ing, force your arms upward toward the head of the bed and push your legs and feet down. ward until you can feel all the waistiine muscles stretch and pull. Keeping your back flat on the bed, bend as far as you can to- ward the right and then to the left. Repeat until you are wide awake.
 Get up, drink two glasses or warm water and then begin to dJ more bending routines. Stand with feet together, arms held high above your head. Keep ing knees straight, bend forward, trying to touch the floor with fin- ger tips. You won't be able to do 1t the first day, of course, but keep on trying and, sooner than you ex. pect, you will.
 Take the original position again and, without turning your body stretch the right arm up and hold the left one against your side. Lean toward the left as far as you possibly can. Relax and then rc- verse, holding right arm at your side and leaning toward the right.
 Put hands on hips and bend for. ward, backward, toward the left and to the right. Do 1t rapidly and repeat at least thirty times each morning. a...s--..,

You can have dotted frock with every dot a different dip into dye pot! This brings about some extremely original results and as far as fashion history goes, gives the chapter on dots a unique dis tinction.
 Lucille Manguin makes a modest evening gown for Mrs Margery Winter Cook (youthful as all get out) of black taffeta as to back ground, and white albene as to dot. Dots are quarter size, and there is an adorable white nlbene collar that fits closely around the neck.

RED COMET FIRE EXTINGUIsHER

The Red Comet Fire Extinguish- CT operates an AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT PRINCIPLE from or dinary fire extinguishers, and marks a NEW ERA in mans con- stant battle against fire.
 Red Comet is AUTOMATIC in operation-it stops fire whether a human being is there or not when the fire starts. The heat from the fire puts Red Comet into action AUTOMATICALLY-and the Red Comet Fluid which Is sealed in the glass Grenade is AUTOMATIC ALLY released and automatically expands into a big blanket of fire smothering gas, which automatical- ly stops the fire.
 When the fire brings the temp erature up to about 160 degrees the fuse melts, releases the power full coiled spring, crashes the heavy metal slug against the thin glass Grenade, INSTANTLY SKATERS IT and sCATTERS THE RED COM EFT FLUID IN MID-AIR.
 This Fluid changes into gas al- most instantly on contact with the heat and GREATLY EXPANDS into a powerful, fire-smothering blank ct, which is drawn to the heart of the fire by the draft. This blanket of gas keeps the oxygen away and SHOPPERS THE FIRE-foF fire cannot live without a continuous supply of oxygen.

somewhat puzzled at the lack of harmony among delegates repre- senting the same camp. These little delegations split wide open on many questions, evidence that they were in many cases entrusted by their constituents to use their own judgement in such matters. Louis Paul led the fight against the Bill Nearly all the other Wrargell dele gates rallied around him, as did the delegates from several west coast camps. On roll call vote, how ever. it was revealed that the senti- ment in favor of the Bill was strong. It carried 55 to 15, with one delegate refusing to vote with oue exploit instructions from his camp. and a few others who were absent.

PAULs DISAGREE ON
 WHEELER HOWARD ACT
(contiued from Page One)

of the Department of Indian Affairs, and few other white men who were "able to see the Indians side"
 The Act, among other things, provides for an appropriation of S25O,00O for a revolving fund to be used in organizing credit unions, corporations (business enterprisesl to give tribes or other groups of Indians the power to conduct and encourage such enterprises. The act further provides for a revolving fund of $10,OOO,O00 to aid in start ing such enterprises.
 Break Down Barrier
 Poverty, with the resulting feel ing of inferiority, the sponsors of the Act held, was the principal cause for the apparent segregation of the Indians, and they must be assisted in their effort to break down this barrier which separates them from the whites. President Roosevelt, MT. Hawkesworth said, was deeply interested in this mat ter, and had strongly endorsed the Act, and asked for it's passage. The legislation also provides loans to individuals for educational purposes high school, college ad vocation al training.
 This legislation,' continued Hawkesworth, shows the endeaY- or of the present administration to right the wrongs of the Indians and it was Dimonds idea to eX- tend the benefits to the Indians oi Alaska without regard to residence on reservations. That is the pur- pose of the proposed Dimond bill- to make the Indians of Alaska eli gible, regardless of whether they are affiliated with tribe or group" It embraces the northern Eskimo as well as the Indian, he added.
 We all know the Alaska In dians are a proud race," concluded the speaker. That is why the members of your executive commit tee were reluctant about endorsing the Dimond bill this summer, when the matter was referred to them You need have no fear that this legislation will prejudice youl rights as citizens. In fact, even ii this bill shoud become a law, you are free to accept or reject the benefits provided by the Act"
 He approved the suggestion made by Dr. Ryan that Million Paul and one additional delegate be sent to Washington to advise Delegate Dimond. about the wishes
The Wrangell sentinel., 1935-11-15

of the Indians with regard to the proposed legislation.
 Legal Indian
 William Paul then addressed the convention in an endeavor to ex- plain the workings of the Bill, and dissipate the fears of some of the delegates about the effect the Bill would have on their status as citi- zens He went into details about the legal aspects of the Bill, and what constituted a legal Indian i" A legal ndian,' Paul stated, was person born on a tribal reserva- ton and owing allegiance to that tribe instead of to the United States. It appears, however, that legal Indians" no longer exist, since full citizenship has been ex- tended to all Indians in the United States and it's possessions.
 Paul gave the Dimond Bill his full endorsement, pointing out the benefits that might accrue to his people if they could get business enterprises started, such as salmon canneries and mercantile establish ments. He related how a group of Indians near Haines had attempted to start a cannery, or buy one that was already established, but failed because they were unable to raise the necessary funds.
 Gold Mine
 That cannery at Haines put IT pack of 10000 cases of red fish, ' asserted the speaker, and ought to make a profit of at least $4 a ] case. That would be a good thing for us, wouldn't it. If our people could make money like that WIG wouldn't have to be shouting fo1 relief, or a chance to educate oui children the way we want them to be educated. We need supplies capital-to go into business. I en. dorse the Dimond Bill with all my heart! There's a gold mine for Il. in Section g."
 Paul refused to divulge what thi. gold mine" in Section might be but told the convention he would enlighten the members of the eX ecutiye committee in private meet ing. There was no need to go into a huddle about the "gold mine, however, for Frank Peratovich, O Klawock, in raising the question of whether the proposed Legislation would operate entirely to the sat isfaction of the Indians, asked Pau flatly whether the 'gold mine" wal to be special preserves for the ex elusive use of Indians for fishing hunting and trapping fur.
