The country will ask not only for a
Gignified and relevant but for a fair cam
paign. If the President is going to pose as
being too deeply immersed in the duties of
his office to electiOneer frankly for the
third term he has asked for, while at the
aane time he instructS or permits Cabinet
officials and others whom he has placed
on the public payroll to make personally
abusive speeches in his behalf, the public
may decide that the dice are being too
heavily loaded in the Administration s
favor-New York Times.

1t was on June that President Roose-
welt expressed his opinion that Congress
might as we'll adjourn. National defense,
he said, would not require the presence of
the lawmakers in Washington, Nor, he
further stated, could they serve any pur-
pose except, perhaps, the laudable one of
making speeches. Since the date of that
smart crack, it would take up much space
to cite all the eommendable and necessary
thirgs Congress accomplished. Congress
is hired by the year and should stay on the
job; already it has had a vacation with
pay. There is much work to be done in
what appears to develop into the most vital
quarter of a year in the Nations history.

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

Yesterday we were speaking about
the adventures of young Danish
traveller, Knud Holmboe, and an
Arab named Alb DeSlam in an open
automobile. During a journey from
one end of the Sahara Desert to
the other they were crossing the
Atlas Mountains. They had come
TO a narrow bridge suspended by
ropes over a deep chasm.
1t seemed like a wild idea to
cross that bridge III car, but
they decided to try to do it. The
loose planks which had been laid
on the ropes made it barely wide
enough for the wheels to stay on it.
Both the young men stood on
the running boards during the
passage. They were ready to grab
at the hopes in case the car broke
the bridge down. Happily they did
not need to do that. Holmboe,
reaching over to hold the wheel,
steered a steady course, and they
got to the other side safely.
The roadway, or track, on the
other side turned sharply. In few
hundred yards it led into village.

Across Rope Bridge in Car

The horn was sounded, and people
came running out of their homes.
It was now late at night, but the
villagers seemed to feel it was worth
while to forget their sleep and look
at the wonder which had come into
their midst. The car prooably was
the first one ever to 60 into that
village.
For time the crowd was not
friendly to the visitors. There were
shouts meaning You are French!"
and Send them out of town."
In few minutes the headman,
or sheik, appeared. Learning that
both of the motorists were Mo-
hammedans, he asked them to come
to his home as guests. Holmboe
had turned Mohammedan because
he thought that was the best re-
ligion; on this night he had spe-
cial reason to be glad about his
choice.
After a good sleep, Holmboe and
Alb Deslam set OF across the desert.
They were given a lamb as a pres
ent when they left, also cakes and
tea,

South has to bid the hand with
little spirit since his cards were
almost good enough for an opening
two-bid. But note that if he bids
the slam in spades, the four-four
kslH... he makes it without much
trouble; but if he bids the slam in
hearts, the five-three suit, he is
doomed to defeat.
Against six spades, Vests most
probable lead is the queen of dia-
monds. South wins and lays down
the ace and king of trumps Then
he begins the hearts West may
ruff with the queen Of spades when
ever he likes, but he cannot prevent
South from discarding TWO clubs
from dummy on the long hearts.
Later on, South can ruff the ten of
clubs with one of dummy's low
spades.
Not so at six hearts. South can
win the opening diamond lead and
run his hearts if he likes; but dis
carding clubs from the dummy does
him no good in this case, for
dummy will not be able to ruff
club. Against correct defense South
must lose a spade and club, thus
failing to make the small slam.
South foresaw some such pos
sibility and therefore mentioned
the spades after Norths first
response assured him of heart sup
port. North's spade raise showed
four-card spade support, ard South
properly chose spades as the trump
suit for his small slam.
