1920. Napoleon died on the island
In 1921, and for a time was buried
there. His body was moved to
France 10 years later.
When Mrs. Despair suggests that
an island might be destroyed by a
volcano. she is not speaking of
something impossible. An island
with an area Of 13 square miles was
for the most part destroyed 68 years
ago.
The island was known as Kraka-
toa, and it lay between Java and
Sumatra. Mighty explosions of
volcano "blew up" two-thirds Of
Krakatoa, and most Of the material
was buried under the sea.
Two small islands were formed
as a result of the eruptions, but
these soon sank beneath the water.
Huge ocean waves were set up
by the explosions and these waves
swept over Java and Sumatra to
such an extent that $500 lives
were lost.
Another fearful explosion Of q
volcano took many lives on the
island Of Martinique. This island Is

Inc space HileSSe was needed Tor
seven no-trump, but 1t lost. At dia-
monds. Of course, North can discard
= spade on the fourth heart. South
maintained that North should have
rebid his diamonds at some point,
and North was just as sure that
South should have shown diamond
support at some time or other. Who
was right?"
North was right. His bidding was
beyond criticism, but South's bid
ding was rather strange. To begin
with. South might well have jumped
10 two hearts over the opening bid
Of one diamond. Even his later
Jump to three no-trump didn't show
the full strength Of his hand.
Evidently he realized ne had un-
derbid. hence the decision to 60 to
. grand slam. But what was wrong
with bidding seven diamonds? If
North had reason to be worried
about the diamonds he could 60
back to seven no-trump. In the
actual case, North would have
passed seven diamonds with great
satisfaction. The main point is that
seven diamonds does not bar seven
no-trump, but seven no-trump does
bar seven diamonds
North's bid Of two clubs on the
second round was better than a
Jump to three diamonds. At that
point. not visualizing a slam. North
wanted South to bid no-trump if
he could stop the spades, but to stay
away from no-trump if he couldn't.
Bidding the clubs teven though he
had only three of them was the
easiest way to find out about the
fourth suit, spades. When South
then jumped to three no-trump,
North saw that a slam was certain,
- properly wasted no time in bid
ding 1t. Six no-trump gave better
picture of his hand than a rebid of
diamonds followed by a jump to
slam.

Mildred Franklin, professor of classi-

appreciated unless the student un-

written and the people who lived
in those times.
THE Wilson student of Latin
learns, therefore, that the ancient
Roman and his family were in
tensely human beings. She learns
how they lived day by day, what
they ate, what they wore, what they
thought about politics and the high
cost of living.
She discovers that Jail bird,
'chiseler' and 'installment plan were
good Latin expressions more thar
1000 years ago. She recaptures the
heartiness of classical humor by
tranSlating into 1941 English Latir
comedies centuries old. She works

President Calls
For Civilian
Morale Forums
McNutt Asked to
Leod Program
Organization

To build a civilian morale based
on understanding of the problems
arising from the world crisis, Presi-
dent Roosevelt has requested Fed
eral Security Administrator Paul v.
McNutt to develop and inaugurate
Nation-wi program of public dis
cussion. He urged that the program
be organized by the United States
Office of Education with the CO.
operation of colleges and public
school systems.
The genius of American democ-
racy," the President stated in let
ter to Mr.. McNutt, "is expressed in
the traditional independence and
freedom of our State and local
schools and school system. Their
freedom of action for educational
purposes must be preserved. 1t is
upon that freedom that we hopefully
depend for assurance that the judg-
ments of our people will be soundly
based"
The President also referred to the
beneficial results" of the forums and
study discussion groups developed
since 1885 through the Federal
Forum Project of the Office of Edu-
cation. Now. under the impact of
