Colorado Man Establishes
Mining School Scholarship

The establishment of Viola vestal
Coulter scholarship at Montana School
Of Mines by William j. Coulter Of
Denver, Colo, has been announced by
Pres. Francis A. Thomson.
This scholarship which will be first
awarded for the academic year 1e4O-
1941, Is in the amount of 5000. This
award will be made to some student
upon recommendation of faculty
committee to be appointed by Presi-
dent Thomson.
An unique feature of the scholarship
is that both scholastic standing and
demonstrated athletic ability are set
eligible for the Viola Vestal Coulter
scholarship, a student must be an
American citizen Of the white race and
shall be or about to become member
of the junior or senior class in some
department of the college. Eligibility
shall also be limited to students who
have earned at least one letter in ath-
years.
While this scholarship Is not an
athletic scholarship the athletic ability
qualification has been set up because,
in the opinion of Coulter and Presi-
dent Thomson, the young man who can
excel both in scholarship and in ath-
letics has an assured future before
him.
Coulter. now manager Of the Climax
Molybdenum Co. at Climax, Colo, the
largest producer of molybdenum in the
world, has had distinguished profess
sional career. He graduated from the
State College of Washington in 1914,
when DR.. Thomson was head of the
department of mining engineering
there. He had to work his way through
college and his senior year became in
debted to DR.. Thomson for funds to
enable him to finish his college work
In the establishment of the Viola YES
tai Coulter scholarship, Coulter is ex-
pressing his appreciation Of the help
given him and of his desire to be Of
assistance to students who have diff
Guilty financing their education. Coulter
has already established two similar

scholarships at the State College Of
Washington. The two scholarships
there and the one at Montana School
Of Mines are administered by the Viola
Vestal Coulter foundation, established
by Coulter as memorial to his first
wife who was also graduate Of the
State College Of Washington.
In 1885, at commencement, Coulter
was awarded the professional degree

strength of her body into one desper-
ate call.
Was 1t an echo that answered her?
I suppose one can have mirages in
ones ears too" Carol told herself
trembling, but the echo gave her cour-
age to shout back; and then clearly,
far more clearly than her own shout,
Carol heard the answering voice. 1t
was coming nearer her, it wasn't only
in her brain. it was close by, the snow
above the top of the ravine rustled
under someone's feet. She saw a fig
ure standing against the skyline, a
tall dark shadow, that might be Bob
himself. The figure took off its skis
and tied them together. The neat
movements, the small rustling sounds
stretched time, until 1t seemed to split.
Very little Of Carol was still conscious,
her eyes were half filmed over and
she couldn't move her chin to shout
again. But the rustling grew steadily
louder, the figure needed no guidance
it was descending in carefully directed
plunges There was light enough left
for Carol to see that weather-beaten
face and to look into those glacier
eyes.
1t was not Bob who had come to
her rescue after all, it was Bobs wife
the first Mrs. Endicott But had she
come to her rescue? The clear eyes
looked strangely into Carols, they
flickered as If the spirit behind them
was unsure Of its own purpose.
Now she will kill me-" Caro-
thought, reused to fresh terror, "or
worse still Just leave me here to die
She has a right to leave me. made
Bob leave her"
Love had swept them off their feet;

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

Some persons suppose that Star
has five points. This idea comes
from the shape given to stars when
they are shown on flags. The fact
is that no star with the shape of one
In a fag ever has been seen in the
sky.
There are glints OF light, however,
which seem to spread out from stars.
This may explain why the people
OF ancient Egypt drew the picture
word for star" with points. The
Egyptians gave five points to star,
but In Babylonia the number of
points was eight
In actual fact. star has the
same general shape as the sun. which
supplies us with daylight. The sun
Is round, and the on,5 points"
which we might claim for it are
tongues of flame which rise from
its surface. These flames rise and
fall, so they do not have a fixed size
or shape.
NOW and then we may hear some
one speak of planet as a star. but
1t h not the same thing. A planet
Goes not give out its own light: it
enines because it reflects light from

Finessing Without Risk

Please tell us where We went
wrong" writes N. o. v. OF Cincin-
natl. I'VE know that a grand slam
should not be bid if finesse has to
be taken, but this one was very
tempting At that, if my partner
had flnessed the other way for the
queen of spades, we'd have made
the contract. Was my jump to the
grand slam very bad?"

INT Pass INT Pass
Pass Pass
In our opinion, there is nothing
wrong with the bid. We grant that
q grand slam should not be bid
when flnesse must be taken-but
there is no way to tell, during the
bidding, that finesse will be neces-
sary. After all, the two hands
have identical distribution; other
wise they would produce l3 tricks
IN top cards Furthermore, when
two partners hold every high card
except for one queen, they should
bid a grand slam first and think
about 1t later.
AS it happens, the grand slam is
easily made without guesswork, If
South takes advantage of all the
available information. If he simply
runs his clubs, hearts and diamonds,
he will discover that East can fol-
low suit to only three rounds of
clubs and two rounds of each red
suit. Since East must have held
13 cards originally, it is a certainty
that the six others must have been
spades. That leaves only one spade
In the West hand.
After this analysis, South should
lead spade to dummy's ace and
finesse the spade return through
East's queen. In that way the con-
tract is made without even the
slightest risk of failure.

Friendship Citizens
Continue Fight on
Large Store
Association to Seek
Cooperative Effort to
Change Zonina Decision

The fight against Zoning/ Com
mission decision to permit erection
Of a large retail store at Albemaric
street and Wisconsin avenue NV.
was continued last night in resolu-
tions passed by the Friendship Citi-
zens' Association.
The association decided to solicit
cooperation of all civic organiza-
tions in the immediate community
and in other sections Of the city in
an effort to induce the commission
to reverse its decision. The COM
mission was criticized for having
"disregarded the unanimous wishes
of the community" in favoring the
commercial establishment, which
would be located directly across AL
bemarle street from the Janney
School.
Seek Amendment.
A plea directed to Congress ask
ing zoning regulation amendments
so as to grant home owners and resi-
dents voice in determining the
zoning status of their community
also was adopted by the group. The
resolution offered by Mrs. Esther G..
Crews. who protested especially
against "an authority that can make
such unjust statements as the SEN
timent of a neighborhood is not a
controlling factor in zoning cases" "
A sepcial zoning committee in
structed to work for additional hear
ings was appointed by Sam j.
Flickinger, president. The group
includes j. j. Slattery, Mr.. and Mrs.
L. L. Tucker, j. T. Dawson, Mrs. j..
D. Richardson, r. G. Hurley, Mrs.
Paul Kayser and F.. x. Callahan.
A motion to appropriate 500 to
carry the zoning fight to court was
withdrawn after citizens argued that
such action was not necessary at
present.
Protest Being Circulated.
Members were urged to sign a
petition of protest drafted by Mrs.
Crews to be circulated throughout
the city, More than 200 names
have been affixed, Mrs. Crews an
nounced.
After the meeting adjourned a
group of opponents of the zoning
change conferred briefly, according
to Mrs. Crews, charging the Zoning
Commission with failure to consider
"the irreparable and immeasurable
damage to property owners
The group contended that trucks
required to supply the store and
the cars attracted would make the
community noisy to the extent of
discouraging residence Families have
invested in the neighborhood, far
out from the downtown section, to
escape noise and traffic, she said.
Many, she added, are still paying
on homes bought on the assumption
the neighborhood would remain
restricted.
A resolution opposing legislation
of horse racing in the District met
with strong opposition as Carmen
Garofalo led discussion favoring
racing as q means of increasing To-
cal revenue. Further consideration
is to be given at the next meeting
