BE A PERSON
We should practice being per-
sons. We should develop and ex-
ercise the faculties of having
opinions and making decisions.
Usually it is not advisable for US
to voice our opinions and deci-
sions; most of the time the cause
of harmony would be promoted
if we kept our opinions and deci-
sions to ourselves. 1t is a good
idea, no matter what we think
or how hard we think it, to let
others have their way in matters
which do not matter and to with
hold our advice unless it is asked
for. But we should constantly
practice mentally the forming of
opinions and the making of de-
cisions. However, there is one
thing we should guard against =
mistaking mulishness in ourselves
for strength of character.

PORN ut Les Cages, santo Domingo,
the son Of . French naval oficer
and Creole West Indian woman,
John James Audubon in 1705 started
. life that was to lead him through
one business misadventure after an
other.
Audubon was educated in France
and studied art there. He returned
to America to care for his fathers
farm near Philadelphia, and soon mar
ried = neighbor, Lucy Bakewell.
The Audubons moved to Kentucky
and thence to Louisiana. Try ~ he
might, Audubon failed in business time
and again. He was forced to resort
to teaching dancing and fencing to
buy food.
From his boyhood. Audubon had
loved birds and had drawn many
sketches and water-color illustrations
Of them. These he took, in 1926, to
England, where he elaborated them
and published, from 1927 to 1898, a
series Of 1865 color plates of Ameri-
can birds entitled, The Birds OF
America"
Before the venture started he had
taken orders for 80 sets at $1,000
each. In all, about 100 full sets
were sold, as well as other incom-
plete selections Of prints. He realized
about 5000, 900 on this deal.

GOOD bridge players frequently re-

part Of their strength concentrated in

right-hand opponent. When holding
such . hand there are two very fine
reasons for passing In the first place,
just 4 little enthusiastic bidding on
the opponents part may result in a
profitable penalty for the "trapper. "
The other reason u really the exact
opposite-if you have great length in
your right-hand opponents suit. it
stands to reason that your other oppo-
nent WIN be extremely short in That
suit. This being the case. he will nee

What would have happened II
South had passed the opening spade

1t would be extremely likely that West
would try either three hearts or three

tracts South would obtain 4 Juicy

Having solid trump holding, West
elected to open the jack Of hearts. In

managed to make an extra trump trick

NEW YORK, Oct.. 4 QN.S0.
The professional Giants today
found themselves in strange sur
roundings, last place in the East
ern Division of the National Foot
ball League, as a result of 1910
defeat administered last night by
Pittsburgh's Pirates.
Paced by All-American "Whiz-
zer" White, the Pirates tailed
twice, once in the second period
to knot the count, and again in
the fourth to win, on passes from
Frank Filchock to Wilbur Sortet.
White had no direct hand in either
scores, but lugged the ball for a
total of 191 yards.
Ward Cuff was the sole Giant
scorer. He tailed on a pass from
Danowski in the first quarter, con-
verted the extra point, and then
booted a field goal from the 10
yard line in the third period.
