anyone who hauls ashes shall have
license. Such license will be is
sued when the applicant has an in
surance policy from one of the
many companies dealing in this
kind of protection.
This license costs somewhere in
the neighbOrhOOd of $4,000. This is
hard enough, to be sure, but when
in addition such license is issued
only to white men it forces the
Negro people within even narrower
limits and puts another stop sign
upon the Negro men in the hauling
business who do have the money to
pay the tariff and the facilities to
carry on the work.
Of course the law does not read
that only white men may engage in
this avOcatiOn. But it does not
prohibit white insurance companies
from drawing the color line and
they do it with all the assurance
and intolerance so hurtful to the
pride and the business progress of
our group.
If you have a yard full of ashes
after a long winter, and who does
not, you must have them removed
to the dump, provided: A licensed
ash hauler must do the job. Insur-
ance men refuse to sell their pro-
lection to colored men, so willy
nilly you must have a white man
do the work. .
You would imagine when this

tice and hampering to the develop

1 don't know what turns my
thoughts toward the subject of
clocks this week. Perhaps it's be-
cause 1 have several old clocks in
the home which do not run, but are
kept because of souvenir value.
Or it may be that when go to
town and occasionally forget my
time piece 1 am forced to depend
upon the court house clock and 9TH
er unreliable time pieces which en-
terprising jewelers. place as adver-
tisements of their stores, but in
variably forget to wind.
But l believe, now as / come to
think of it, the real reason is, that
hear over the radio at most I'M
expected times the announcement
of certain watch company which
says they have product Gin the
color and charm of natural gold"
a jeweled watch, which sells for
only so much and so much-a price
so much cheaper than the old time
clocks as to be all but unbelievable.
And then my crouch passes as
realize how blest we are in this
day of modern conveniences that
an article so useful and so very
common, a reliable time piece
which comes within the possibili-
ties of the most moderate purse,
is ours. And I wonder how the
people of a former day got on
without it. For it is only a few
hundred years since clocks were
invented.
Like many of the great inven-
tions which have added to the full.

Poetic Thoughts
By MORRIS GIBBS, Sr.
Humble Pie

Humble pie is not very easy to eat,
Especially if ones poor sport in defeat
For to take the bitter with the sweet
Means lot when your competitor turns on the heat.
A lesson should be learned from unhealthy mistakes
Which false PRIDE vanity and stubbornness make
Us hard to get along with and blind to
That you hurting yourself, why not get free?
We all know to certain extent
Even though not admitted that there's lent
real these disagreeabe habits hold such sway
Is because they weren't overcome at any early day.
Now it behooves us for own good to see
That we won't be wanted among good company,
For miserable you and your friends made so
If you don't change, people will let you go.
Increase your sense of humility in order to grow
By discarding false impressions then you'll know
The love that is yours from the sweet sense
Which humility produces in surmounting any ofense.
Christ's example of humility is before us,
What would be better than to discuss
This lesson, for it has to be learned
That humble pie is best for all concerned.

tacks some one must know how to
advise us in these matters. 1 don't
believe the ministers can for they
do not have the experiences which
most of US have.
Like the white folks who. take
our money and never ask where we
get it our preachers also take all
the congregations can give and
give no thought to where it comes
from.
I say let the ministers lead in
the spiritual field which they know.
And let the important material in
terests of our people call for lead
ership from others.

The declarer should win the open- ing lead with the king in dummy and play & club immediately. When North leads a heart, East should go right up with the ace. Then dummy can be put in twice with spades, to lead clubs for de- clarer to ruff, and East leads a heart to ruff in dummy.
 East can count that if South originally held only two hearts, he could have the four missing trumps, and still have two black cards. He cannot discard both of these on the third heart lead. If he discards his last spade, dummy will lead a club for East to ruff; {; while if South lets his last club go, dummy will lead the spade.
 In either case, East will win by rufiing with a small trump, and then lead the fourth heart for dummy to ruff Dummy cashes his high trump, and the last two tricks go to the ace and queen of trumps.
 Today's bridge quiz: What is meant by cross-ruffing a hand out?
 Answer: To cross-ruff a hand out means to trump in dummy the side cards held by declarer. and to trump in the declarer's hand the side cards in dummy. For ex- ample, if declarer holds three spades and three hearts and dum- my three clubs and three spades. spades being trumps. three hearts will be trumped in dummy and three clubs trumped by declareT.

. MeKEkkEY's BRIDGE QUIZ
No Bridge Hand Is Well Played If Decarer Takes Long
 Chances
BY VIM. E. MCKINNEY Secretary, American Contract
 Rridpe League

Here is a different type of mis- played hand. East and West made their contract and were compliment cd on fine play, but the declarer took so many chances that, actual ly, he should have been criticized for the way he played the hand.
 The queen of hearts was opened Ca rather bad leadD, dummy won with the king, and returned the seven of trumps. When North showed out, East won with the ace and returned small diamond, finessing against South. Dummy then led 8 club, North won and returned a small heart. East finessed the ten spot, then led @ third round of trumps and returned to his own hand with club ruff to pick up the jack of trumps. When he played out all of his trumps, he walked into an automatic double squeeze,
 The correct play requires no such luck as occurred in the heart finesse, which should have lost.
