Gaining self-confidence is prob
lem with many girls at the Adde'S
cent period and is often very diff
cult problem for parents and teach
ers to meet.
Often Advantage
A handicap is often more of an
advantage than a disadvantage.
Clara Barton spent several years of
her childhood in a sick room nursing
crippled brother younger than
herself. She came out Of that ex-
perience shy, retiring and afraid of
people. Since she realized that this
might handicap her in later life, she
deliberately worked to overcome the
difficulty and succeeded so well that
she founded the American Red
Cross and travelled all over the
world, working always with people.
When Katherine Cornell was a
child, she spent several years in bed
with her back strapped to a board,
but she did not accept defeat. She is
now acknowledged as the finest act
ress on the American stage.
Failed Entrance
Alice Freeman Palmer failed her
entrance examinations to college.
She renewed her efforts and at 26
was president of Wellesley.
Excellent chapters called "Get-
ting On with People," which Incl
dentally quotes an epigram Of my
friend, Karl Menninger-"The un-
happy are always wrong; chap
ter on Living Happily with Your
Family" and "Associating Happily
with Boys" and Deciding About
Job" make up the bulk Of this valu-
able book.

also on the likelihood that the
doubler in the East held the club K.
North should have reasoned that
South's first pass followed by such
a bid indicated very substantial
strength. and should have raised to
3-No trump. But he did not. Later
he was sorry. for the spade Q lead
was allowed to ride to the K, the
heart A furnished an entry for a
successful club finesse. and after the
run of clubs the heart K made the
ninth trick.
The lesson of this hand is that
bid after the pass of a double in
dicates pretty substantial hand,
calling on the partner to bid if he
can find any excuse for so doing.

FIGURE HIM OUT

BEFORE PASSING your part
ners bid, it is wise to pause and
estimate just how much strength
he has so far shown. Add your own
strength to that and then reckon
how far the side should be able to
90 under the circumstances. That
may pan out wrong any one time,
but in the long run il is the heart
and soul of contract bidding-the
effort to decide how many tricks you
think the entire partnership should
be able to make.

Joseph c. Behan. chairman of Annual Message of Life Insurance Committee, stated.

Bouley Manor Group
 Outlines Program
Newly Formed Association Sets Pace in Promotion of
 Neighborly Sprit-SponsOrs Recreation Center

The members of the Bouley Man or association, a recently formed affiliate of the East End Communi- ty club are now making plans for hot dog roast to take place on the associations grounds following the softball game to be played next Wed nesday night, in order to round out the evening.
 The association, although formed as recently as six weeks ago, already has acquired certain distinctive fea- lures, and is remarkably well or ganized. The facilities it offers to the members of it's community are almost unrivalled in their extent. Already in operation and in active use are baseball diamond, a play ground for it's children, and nine hole golf course. It conducts soft ball league all its own, in which four teams have already been organized, and play games among themselves two nights every week.
 All these unusual features are a real benefit to the East End con- munity, members of which do not have to travel far for their recrea- tion The children find ample equip ment to keep them entertained and busy in the associations play ground, older boys and men can make good use of the baseball dia- mond, and the golf course has prov 1 ed its popularity in the few weeks 1t has been in use.
 The membership of this com- munity organizatio is made up of residents of Lydia street, Marlboro street, and Manor avenue, a sec- tion of Bouley Manor. Most cf the association members are also in- clude in the larger East End group which, of course, draws its mem- bership from larger area of the eastern part of the city.
 The president of the association is William V. Coleman; vice-president Ralph Dube; secretary. William Ladden; treasurer, Joseph Nastri; assistant secretary, Peter Kenny; assistant treasurer, Edward Mosel On the executive committee are William Kopp, Thomas Shea. Viii liam Fallowell, Edward Mosei George Carroll, Leonard Cruess ant George J. McDuff.
 The officers of the community group have further plans for tho establishing and development O. more facilities which will be ben. eft and a pleasure to the resident of the Bouley Manor section.

NOTES OF A NEW YORKER

NOTES OF A NEW YORKER
 New York City has raised the re- ward for the capture of fugitive Lepke from $5,000 to 5000 {. And just the other day it was an- nounced that 900 city workers would be fired because the city can't af- ford to pay their wages In sum, there's enough coin to look for 8 gangster, but not enough to help honest people make a living :. Remember when the column ob- served that if there is no unein- ployment in Germany 1t is because slaves are never unemployed? We'll, the cables reported this week that workingmen had been serl- fenced to jail terms in Vienna be- cause they resigned from their jobs !. Some of us suspect that the ballyhoo about Ill Duce's heart att tack is just Fascist propaganda to make people believe that he has a heart The interest of movie stars in labor disputes proves one thing, by golly.
