stood near the entrance Of the Sir

Within the space Of five minutes
not less than a dozen men came up,
shook hands cordially with the Pitts

promised to support him or left that
plain inference from their demeanor

Not a one who approached indicat-

William A. Graham, 1889 State
senator from Lincoln county and for
many years a political war horse, was
in town Monday looking twenty years
younger than when he stepped out
as commissioner Of agriculture in
January, 1897.
AS full Of pep as any youngster,
Major Graham feelingly intimated
he is sorry that he has already said
he wouldn't run for anything next
year He told how his doctor had
given him "about three months to
live, which decided him him that he
had best keep out Of the active area
Of Possibilities.
II fooled those doctors, but as
I've already said | will not run,
guess all that's left for me to do is
pick me out candidate for governor
and have some fun supporting him."
he ioked.
In that spirit he wasn't a bit hard
dent attempted TO Wheedle him into
telling who that candidate is going
to be, the canny LincOlnian was COM
municatiVe as a deaf-mute in a dark
cell.
AS is always the case, the Horton
announcement Of Monday morning
set political heads here to some real
ly deep and serious thinking, but SO
far it has set no tongues to wagging
On all sides it's still case Of wait
and see and virtually no politician
Of any statewide standing has yet
taken stand as to his choice
AS related in the very first item
in this column, Commissioner Of Rev.
cnue A. j. Maxwell has eliminated
any chance Of an announcement from
him until after the holidays; but
with the general run of other an
nounced candidates, it's now a case
Of put up or shut up, and that right
soon.

bands hold the skirt nicely In place.
You may button the jumper up high
under the blouse collar or cut the
front and back neckline in low "
shape. Make at least two blouses
for fresh changes. One might have
short sleeves and lace trim; an
other long, full sleeves and bright
ribbon bow. Why not stitch up a

Balance In Bidding Is Important Feature To Watch In
Playing WEN

bidder has bid three, the next one
and the nvxt Two. If you bid for
two tricks, you will balance the bid
ding. There will be eight tricks to
win and eight tricks bid for.
When the bidding is balanced,
generally each player will make
his contract; If you are low, you
will have gained nothing on the deal.
If you bid one or three on this hand,
thus throwing the bidding of bal
ance, 1t will be impossible for every
player to make his contract. II you
make your bid, you will have picked
up points on those who failed to
make theirs, because you unbal-
anced the bidding. .,....
There is no advantage in playing
against the high player, or for the
low one. If you make your contract,
you receive your points and the
other players lose those points to you.
There is no additional premium for
the winner Of the game.
If you are in fourth position and
are the high man, 1t will pay you
to balance the score. Thus every
one will try to make his exact con-
tract, and you will have better
chance of exactly making yours. No
one will be able to better their posi-
ton against you more than a few
points on the hand.
If you have bid nullo, and see that
you are going to be forced to take
trick, then take as many as you
can in order to prevent your oppo-
nents from making their contract.
Likewise If you see that you will not
be able to make your contract. For
example, If you have bid three, and
you know that you can take only
two tricks. you might as we'll try not
to take any, thereby forcing someone
else to take too many.

Household Hints
Clarifying
Yourself
~ Alicia Hart
NEA Service STAR writer

The ideal way to improve your
voice and speech would be to study
with one of the many excellent voice
teachers who are training some Of
our best public speakers today.
However If for one reason or
another voice lessons are quite
out of the question 1t is possible
for any woman to do great deal
to improve her voice herself.
First, there's the matter Of re-
Taxing the lower jaw and keep
ing it relaxed. Teeth should
never be pressed tightly together
or the tongue held stiffly against
the roof of the mouth. When tongue
and jaw are not relaxed, the voice
simply cannot be pleasantly mellow.
Learn to punctuate your spoken
as well as your written words. Don't
try to say too much on one breath.
Learn to pause and take breath
between sentences. And don't make
the sentences too long. Lack of
breath control not only makes your
everyday speeches sound choppy, but
1t creates hard, nasal tones In the
voice
The Waterbury Democrat. [volume] (Waterbury, Conn.) 1917-1946, 1939-11-22
THINK FIRST,
THEN SPEAK

Reading aloud will improve your
enunciation. Putting your thoughts
In some kind Of order before you
start to speak will prevent long,
rambling sentences and pointless
stories. Without appearing to weigh
every word, it's possible to think a
bit about what you are going to say
before you say 1t.
Finally, remember that no amount
of voice training by yourself or a
professional can make up for lack of
knowledge Of words with which to
express yourself Resolve to improve
your vocabulary as well as your
voice. How about learning to use
once new word week? When, while
reading, you come across a word
with which you aren't familiar, why
not look 1t up in the dictionary,
think about 1t for few minutes
and decide to add 1t to your owl,
vocabulary.
