IN THIS day of precision it is hard
to understand how certain COM
mon units Of measurement came into
being. During the Middle Ages al
most every town had its own stand
ards Of weights and measures.
italy. as late as the 18th century,
had over 200 different units Of length
called the foot" all in daily use.
No Standardization was effected until
royal and parliamentary enactments
forced the adoption of specific units
Many Of these were amusing in
themselves: The English yard. for
example. was decreed by King Henry I
to be the distance from the point
Of his nose to the tip Of his thumb.
This was In the year IDOL Previ.
ously, yard measured 39.6 inches,
almost the same length as the present
meter.
Similarly. a fathom, unit Of meas
uring water depth, originated as
the length of a sailors outstretched
arms feet. The word means Ito

Winning Contract.
By THE FOUR ACES.

BY THE FOUR ACES.
CONTINUING yesterdays discussion
- of the rubber bridge tournament
conducted at the Regency Club, we
have another crucial final hand that
meant the difference between winning
and losing a match. Eight hands Of
rubber bridge constitute a match and
the pair that emerges with q net plus
is declared the victor. On the final
hand the pair that Is behind figures
frantically how many points it must
score to obtain a victory. If at the
conclusion Of the match a pair has
obtained a part score it Is credited
with q 50-point bonus; If q game
score it Is credited with 800 points.
Desperate measures are often en-
ployed in an attempt to snatch victory
from defeat and on the hand below
Mrs. Donald Tansill saved the day.
Neither side vulnerable.

The bidding:

Dbl. Pass Pass Pass
AS the last hand was dealt neither
side had game, but North and South
were ahead 240 points above the line.
Thus it appeared that in order to win
the match East and West would have
to bid and make a game. Mrs. Tan
sill opened with one heart and strive
as he might. her partner could find
nothing better than q one no-trump
response. Right at this point South
presented his opponents with an op-
portunity by interjecting q two-spade
overcall. South, indeed, had . fine
hand and ordinarily would have been
fully justified in bidding. However,
victory was his II he could simply
prevent his opponents from bidding
and making game and he was very
foolish to take any risk whatsoever.
Mrs. Tansill now doubled, q bid that
would have been foolhardy in any
other circumstances. In this par
ticular case 1t was a brilliant bid.
Realizing that her partners one no.
trump response had indicated that
a game was remote, she nevertheless
was out to get 800 points. She might
be doubling South into a game, in
which event they would lose by
large margin. but perhaps by some
miracle the hand could be set two
tricks. Fortunately for her, that Is
exactly what occurred. One heart
trick. one club trick and two dia-
mond tricks accrued to her side. Mrs.
Tansin ruffed a diamond and her
partner made two additional trump
tricks. The match was won by so
points.

11,OO0 MILE MOTOR TRIP
 ENJOYED BY ALASKANS

E. A. Rasmuson, president ot the Bank of Alaska, has been a business visitor in Wrangell this week. He is leaving Monday for Juneau en route to his home in Skagway.
 MT. and Mrs. Rasmuson returned six weeks ago from tiVe-month's s trip in the states. They went to New York on business and to visit their son, with whom they spent Thanksgiving. They spent Christmas holidays in Minnesota, which were deeply saddened by the loss of MT. Rasmusons mother.
 On their way west they bought a new La Sale sedan in Detroit which they drove for over 11,000 miles and then sold in Seattle before leaV- jag for Alaska.
 Their motor tour included trip down through Mexico to 200 miles south of Mexico City, which they found most delightful. MT. Rasmus- on enjoyed the Mexican people, the natural wonders of their country and the fine churches and works of art. The tourist trade in Mexico brings in over $3,000,000 a month, he states, to the southern republic.
