Mississippi Bubble" Was
Disastrous Speculation

The mississippi Bubble" was a
scheme devised by John Law, famous
Scotch financier who lived from 1871
to 1929. Under the patronage of the
duke Of Orleans, regent of France, he
organized a project intended original
ly to liquidate the national debt of that
country by developing. under an ex-
elusive grant, the resources of the
province of Louisiana and the COM
merce of the Mississippi, then claimed
by the French.
The scheme was launched in ZIG
with the establishment of bank. In
1717 the West Indian company was or
ganized with a capital of 100000
shares of 500 livres each. The COM
pany was at first successful, and in
1719 obtained exclusive control of the
trade to the East Indies, China and the
South Seas, and all the possessions
of the French East India company.
The holders of West India shares
seemed likely all to profit tremen-
dously.
An additional issue of 5000 shares
was created, and so wild was the spec
ulative craze that more than 100000
persons applied for them. In conse-
quence all of the shares rose to twenty
times their original value, and at the
height of the excitement in 1910 were
nominally worth more than eighty

Happiest Age to Marry Is
33 for Man, 81 for Bride

Contrary to a common idea, early
marriages are allegedly not the hap
piest, at least for the American pop
ulations. A new chart showing the
ages at which men and women should
marry if they are to have the great
est chance of happiness has been
prepared by DR.. Hornell Hart, pro-
fessor Of social ethics at the Hart
ford Theological seminary. Accord
ing to this chart the ages at which
the chance of marital happiness is
automatically greatest are thirty
three for the man and twenty-seven
for the bride.
However, the chart shows a range
of greatest chance of married happi-
ness corresponding to groom's ages
between Twenty-Five and thirty-seven
and the BRIDES ages between twenty
three and thirty-one. - Pathfinder

 Tn criticism of the bidding, it might be said that most duplicate players with Norths cards would have made 6 courtesy bid of two spades over one, although the hand is almost barren, and the pass does not affect the final result.

 When South led the king of spades and continued with the ace. Auslander ruffed. He did little counting. South, he felt sure, had five spades and five clubs, thus only three red cards. The double marked him with the ace of diamonds. If South held two diamonds and one heart, the hand could not be made. but if the ace of diamonds was a singleton, then the contract was Safe.
