Costly Carelessness.

WE HAVE frequently pointed out
w that the average bridge player,
when following suit, automatically
plays the lowest card except when
able to win the trick himself or occa-
sionally when covering an honor with
an honor. This careless habit costs
our bridge players millions of tricks
each year.
While East can actually make four
diamonds If he guesses everything
correctly on the following hand. we do
not particularly blame him for his
failure to bid beyond two, nor do we
think West could take much action

partner.

By John Hix

JAMES BUCHANAN, inventor of an
automatic straw stacker, had %
much confidence In his machine that
he actually ran handful Of $40 bills
through 1t to prove its efficiency.
In 1884 he had q model on exhibit
at the Indianapolis Fair. His ma
chine was supposed to solve the old
problem Of stacking threshed straw
after separating 1t from the grain
without wasting grain.
Farmers were skeptical Of Buchan-
ans claims. They feared some OF
the grain would be blown away
through the conveyer tube. Buchanan
started his machine and threw into
it handful Of $40 bills. Not q one
was blown out Of the tube by the
draft. Farmers were convinced; today
Buchanan's blower is q familiar sight
throughout the West.

A self-educated man, Roger Sher-

governmental system than any other
man.

BUSINESS HAS SPOKEN

AS a result of numerous recent con-
RuTHahE busfness7 and industrial
k4dets1 President Roosevelt should have
: eteFinite. idea of what these men believe
lise1f6ng with present administration poll
cies affecting them.
These conferences were climaxed by
the gathering of nearly LOCO small bust
ness men from all sections of the country,
who went even farther than the represen-
tatives of big business in their demands for
relief from burdensome taxation and reg
ulation.
Principal points upon which both big
and little business agree include recon-
mendations for repeal of the taxes on eapi-
tai gains and undistributed profits; repea-
or modification of the Wagner labor law
amendment of the social security act; a
curtailment of government spending, and
getting the government out of competition
with private business.
Opposition to the proposed wage-hOur
legislation or the enactment of other re-
strictive legislation was virtually ,ulIani-
nous on the part of all business groups.
Unwise legislation, already in effect or
proposed, is largely to blame for the so
called recession, in the opinion of those
consulted
Business has been asked for its views
on these matters, and business has spoken
in definite terms What effect, if any, this
may have on administration policies re-
mains TO be seen.

There are, very often, militant minori-
ties which affect the production of pic
lures and the treatment of news articles in
the newspapers and magazines of the ma
ton. By their aggressive resentment of
anything against their particular totem
pole these mineritieS make it costly to any
body who dares to handle the subject.
This is a form of censorship that is
becoming more prevalent in the United
States. It is. we think. more dangerous
censorship than any present tendency on
the part of officials to tamper with the
free expression of public opinion.

N, i nd not break away and

Moody, who ,dri.s 1887 has been honored
throughout much of the Christian world at
Z. L. Moody Centenary meetings. 81
Today, even as in Faul's time, ever as
in Moody's time, the good old gospel that
Christ died, and hat men must believe on
the Lord Jesus Christ if they would be
saved, holds true. Nothing truer. We
have His word on that score.
What field there is for His message
today. What a harvest Moody would
reap Men and women, confused because
so many of their spiritual leaders are mis-
led or misleading them, still yearn to
know more of Jesus Christ. They want to
worship a persor-not an ideal or a
thought.
