Historical Sketches
Of Libby Lodges

Prompted by the fact that most
people find interest in sketches of
early-day happenings, this news
paper begins this week a series of
short articles that will portray the
beginnings of the various lodges
and similar organizations of this
city. Many of them have been a
part of Libby community life for
many years and a little sketch of
their first days will recall memories
to many

The Island of Crete has been in
the news now and then the past
few months. When war broke out
between Italy and Greece the Greeks
allowed British warships to use ports
on the island as bases.
When I read about Crete in the
present war my mind Travelled back
to the place which Crete held In
ancient history. It was at one time
an important kingdom and served
as trading center for nations
around the eastern end Of the
Mediterranean Sea.
The poet Homer told about it in
one OF his poems. Here is the Eng
lish meaning of his words:
Crete Is in the midst of the deep
sea, a fair and fruitful land. Many
are the men who make it their home
and it has 80 cities"
Crete now belongs to Greece, but
II was a kingdom before Athens
and Sparta became cities. 1t built
up large feet of war galleys and
for time was one of the powers
of the world"
The area of Crete is about $500
square miles and 1t Is the home of
more than 100000 persons. 1t has
mountains which rise to q height
of a mile and a half.
One of the peaks, Mount Ida. was
named in myths Of the ancient
Greeks. 1t was supposed to be the
placs where Zeus, king of the

There surely was no monster like

in modern times make US think
there may have been something true
about the story. Not far from the
present city of Gambia the ruins Of
a palace have been found. Much
of this was shaken down by an
earthquake, but some Of the pillars
still stand In the basement.
That palace was once the home
of the King of Crete. Amid the
ruins is a huge maze, or labyrinth.

Winning Contract
BY THE FOUR ACES.
A Weird Slam

Pass Pass
THE bidding was among the
weirder aspects. Six diamonds was a
lay-down, but South didn't trust his
partner Ca very weak player) so
jumped to six no-trump.
West opened the jack Of clubs,
and South won with the queen. De-
clarer then led the queen of spades
and let 1t ride to Easts king. East
thought for a split second and re-
turned heart.
That ended the party. of course.
South discarded dummy's two low
spades on his extra hearts, and then
dummy won the rest of the tricks.
Now: West maintains his part
ner should have returned a club.
East insists that only an idiot would
lead from A-J-10 against six no.
trump, and that q heart lead was
correct unless he realized that his
partner had suddenly lost his mind.
Who is right?"
Both-to some extent. The open
ing lead deserved some of East's
harsh criticism. But East should
have returned a club anyway. East
could count five diamonds, two
spades and one club for declarer.
South might have two more club
tricks, but that would total only 10
tricks. There was therefore no such
danger In a club return as there
actually was in the heart return.

That's the gist Of the letter, and
rs I say my first impulse was quite
different from my second rs to an
swering it. I felt that Hugh was q
fortune hunter who would sacrifice
honor for money, get possession of
the entire worldly wealth of wild
ow with two young daughters, and
then perhaps ultreat his wife to
the point where she would pass out
Of the picture entirely.
But On second thought realized
that this letter from Sally's mother
reveals more than she probably sus-
pected. For one thing, Sally's IA
Their didn't want her to 60 on that
fatal night party that ended her
young gay dancing days 50 tragical-
ly, and for another Sally's mother

her widowhood.
Arrangement Could Be Happy One.
1t is highly possible that Hugh
sees that il she is allowed to 20 on
making foolish investments there
will soon be nothing left for any,
one, whereas if he handles it wisely
and sensibly they will all be better
on. At "a doctor has reached an
age to think Of marriage and ia
therhood, and although Sally can
never 60 with him to movies or
dances or banquets, it is highly pos
sible that with her intelligence, de-
votion, sweetness she can make a
home for him that will rival all
these amusements.
II he is q charlatan he certainly
hasn't betrayed it in his past his
tory. He has q fine position and
has already made himself a dis
tinguished figure in his own field.
He will give Sally a very ecstasy
Of happiness, and it seems to me
her chances Of successful wifehood
are AZ good, or possibly better, than
those Of girls who have had every
thing their own way, who think of
nothing but themselves, and who
never have had the stern disci-
pine that Sally has had.
A Coed Risk.
So I sent in Troubled Mothers"
envelope my advice that the risk
was a good one. All marriages are
risks, and Sally's own opinion of the
man she loves might be considered
some indication of his worthiness.
When Sally's troubled mother dies,
be it few or many years from now,
it will surely be satisfaction to her
to know that Sally is in safe hands,
that there is a man who loves her,
and who is into the bargain a good
doctor, close beside her.
The small amount of pride the
troubled mother" will have to
swallow is Insignificant compared
with the happiness which Sally will
receive BY marrying the man she
loves.
Even II Hugh turns out to be 4
