IN EEPLY rooted in literature is
travel. Or one may express
the idea the other way
around, for the two grew up
together from ancient times and it
depends on whether one is primarily
a reader, or first of all a traveller.
But in whichever field the indi-
viduals preference lies (and it is
quite possible that for entertainment
alone the average is somewhat 50-5o)
the printed page happily bridges the
gap between two compelling diver
ssons, and travel is simply a matter
OF form-theoretical or practical.
Squirting the production and con-
sumption of travel literature in re-
cent years was the depression, when
the hurrying boom-time public sud-
denly found itself faced with the
problem of travelling or not travelling,
and decided to do it theoretically: it
was cheaper. Now, with Americans
again taking to the highways and by
ways of the world, travel reading con-
tinues to hold formidable place in
the public's affection.
Even the ardent travel reader finds
books too numerous to read. A brief

the room. The hand was soon fin
ished and when he failed to return
the players went to look for him. He
could not be found, and next day it
developed that he forgot he was in

out and gone home.

sorted it carefully, and after mature
deliberation, placed the deuce Of
spades up on the table. Some one
said. Whats that for?" Our friend
replied, I'm leading" 1t finally de-
veloped that he had very poor hand
and was convinced that the opponents
would bid a game, probably in no
trump. Having come to this conclu-
sion he next assumed that they had
bid the game and it was his lead. His
last thoughts we're on what to open,
and the deuce of spades seemed best
to him.
This particular player is also very
lucky. For instance, in a recent game
his opponents reached a flve-diamond
contract. His partner opened the
king Of hearts. Dummy went down
with three hearts to the queen and
our hero, with the deuce and four Of
hearts in his hand, promptly played
the deuce. In spite Of this dis
couraging card, his partner continued
with the ace and followed with an
other heart, having nothing better
to do. Thereupon our absent-minded
friend trumped with low diamond
and set the contract.
The trick was gathered in, and now
there was a long pause, during which
he made no effort to lead. Finally his
partner said, "1t's your lead, you
know" He looked startled. Finally
after much conversation he was con-
vinced that the contract was five
diamonds and not the three no
trump he had thought. Fortunately
he had been lucky enough to dis
card trump.
IT is q well-known fact that chess
players, bridge players, in fact, peo-
pie who play a great deal OF any
game that requires tense concentra-
ton, are prone to absent-minded-
ness. AS long as the absent-minded-
ness does not interfere with the en-
joyment OF the game, we have no
complaint. However. there is one type
OF player who annoys us exceedingly,
and we wish to take this opportunity
to reprimand him. This player, es-
pecially when he holds a worthless
hand. usually sits placidly dream
ing about other things while the bid
ding proceeds. Invariably, when the
auction has been completed, he In
sists upon taking advantage Of the
rules and completely reviewing the
bidding, sometimes two or three times
before it permeates his befogged mind.
We would like to request this type of
player to be q little more consid.

pest.

OPPOSITION
TO LAND TAX
GAINING
BY A. J. DRISCOLL
Citizens Associations Editor


Opposition has arisen among
citizens associations to the pro-
posal Of Senator McCarran, in the
1898 District appropriation bill
which raises the land valuation
from $3.50 to $3.50 in order to pro-
duce $4,800,000 toward an EST
mated deficit of over 100000
in the current supply bill.
The Federation of Citizens AS
sociations, representing 81 units,
has already placed itself on record
as being opposed to any increase
in real estate taxes, basing its &C.
ton on the assumption that any
deficit in District revenues should
be spread over q wider collection
rather than raising over three
fourths the amount from real es-
tate alone.
Appeal to King
While the federation as a body
has taken no direct stand against
the proposed increase in land tax,
believing its opposition to any in
crease in the realty tax being
broad enough to cover both ground
and improvements, L. A. Carruth-
ers, chairman of the federation's
committee on fiscal relations, has
recently appealed to Senator Will
liam H, King and Representative
Ambrose j. Kennedy, protesting
against the enactment of the land
value clause. He has been in
formed that if any District appro-
priation bill should pass it would
be the one already approved by
the House, which makes no refer
ence to special land tax, but
raises the real estate tax rate from
$1.5O to $1.70 per 500.
