18th verse, chapter 3, of Isaiah,
which many persons believe fore
tells today's tire shortage: I'm that
day the Lord will take away
their round tires like the moon" ."
This verse, Of course, does not
allude to tires in the present-day
meaning. 1t uses tires as a short
ened (aphetic) form of the word
attires. The complete verse reads: E:
In that day the Lord will take
away the bravery of their tinkling
ornaments about their feet, and
their cauls (snoodlike hair nets
and their round tires (richly orna-
mented head bands) like the moon" ="

sorry made of more-precious- than
gold rubber, also is the word attire
with its first two letters amputated.

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

Bows and girls in old-time Indian
tribes had toys and games OF many
kinds.
1t was common for girls to play
with dolls. This custom existed in
tribes all over North and South
America.
Tops were popular with Indian
boys. The tops were carved from
wood, and were spun on rocks or
on animal hides laid on the floor
of the wigWam or tent. Many a
test was made to see which top
could be kept spinning longest. In
dian girls did not spin tops so often,
but they watched the contests OF
the boys with keen interest.
Children of Rocky Mountain tribes
were fond of walking on stills, made
by themselves or by their elders.
Clay blocks, to use for building,
were given to small children in some
tribes of the plains. Older boys and
girls of the same region used sleds
for play during winter months. Hopi
and Zuni children made sport with
pea shooters, whizzing sticks and
toy drums.
Grown folks as we'll as children
had ways of amusing themselves.
Indian women played with dice
made from wood. shells, stones, fruit
seeds, or pieces of carved bone.
They kept score by making marks at
the edge of a rug, mat or hide. The
warriors also played with dice, but
their dice games were somewhat
different from those of the women.

Dolls and Tops Were Popular Indion Toys

This ball game was popular among
tribes IN lands now making up both
Canada and the United States. The
French gave it the name of "la-
crosse" 1t became popular among
white settlers in many parts of Can
ada, and in changed form is widely
played today.
Various toys of old-tim Indians
have been found in ancient villages
Of the Pueblo Indians. Some of
these villages were deserted when
first entered by white explorers.
Pueblo Indians of the present day
as OF the past, often have houses
with two or three stories. The up
per story of the second story is set
back so the family living there uses
the roof Of the story below as a
front yard"
We must not, however, suppose
that all homes of these Indians are
Of one or two stories. I visited a
Pueblo village which had scores of
one-story houses.

West opened the deuce OF spades,
dummy flnessed the jack and East
won with the queen. East shifted
to the jack of clubs, South played
the queen and West won with the
ace. A club return knocked out
South's club king When dummy's
hearts failed to break, South had
to give a heart trick to East and
that player then took the rest Of
the clubs to defeat the contract.
1t should be quite evident that
South is the criminal. Can you
spot his crime before reading on?
South's crime consisted in taking
the spade finesse on the first trick.
If the finesse succeeded it would
give him only an unimportant extra
trick: if the flnesse failed 1t might
(and actually did cost him the
contract. The contract Of three no
trump is perfectly safe If South
wins the first trick with one OF
dummy's top spades.
Correct play is to take the spade
king at the first trick and begin on
the hearts. When both defenders
follow to two rounds South can
heave a sigh of relief (since 81
heart break was the only danger)
and continue with two more rounds
of the suit. Upon taking the jack
of hearts East is helpless to defeat
the contract. Declarer cannot be
prevented from winning five hearts,
two spades. the diamond ace and a
club perhaps even more.
Even if it developed that West
was able to win the fourth round
of hearts the contract would still
be safe. Dummy would still have
eight top tricks and no lead could
set up tricks for the opponents
without also setting up a ninth
trick for declarer.

Ball playing was the great game
of the warriors. Teams from diff
ferent tribes would line up at either
side of a field. Sometimes there
we're 10 players on a side, sometimes
100 or more.
Each player carried a racket, on
the order of a tennis racket, but
without such firm cords. The ball
was formed of wood, or of deerskin
stuffed with moss or hair. The OBJ
ject was to knock the ball across the
rival goal. The contests were fast
and furious, and there was shouting
during the play.

KODAK TO TRAIN
 IN NEW HAVEN
Chicago Lightweight to Meet SpOldi at White
 City July 9

New Haven, July 2-Leo Kodak, the Chicago lightweight, who is booked to meet Aldo Spoldi, of New York, in the 10-round feature of Al Weills professional fight show at the White City Stadium, Savin Rock, on the night of July 9, will establish training quarters here.
 Kodak is due to arrive here Mon- day. From then on he will work out daily at the Elm City gym and the public is invited to watch him go through his paces.
 The Chicagoian is coming to New Haven to train at Weills order. The promoter wants to keep an eye on him while he prepares for the bout.
 The boys were originally sched- uled to battle at the West Shore enclosure July l, but the program was put back to give Kodak a chance to recover from slight head wound suffered in his recent bout with Charlie Varre in Cincinnati.
 Kodak had an easy time of it in posting a win over Varre but Suf- fered a slight cut on the head when he bumped into one of the ring posts. No stitches were necessary and the injury has since healed suf- ficiently enough to permit his re- sumption of training.

SACRED HEARTS, N NESE. TONIGHT
First of Four Weekday Games to Clean Up City
 League Schedule

In an attempt to catch up to Old Man Weather, the City Anna teur league will start playing of its postponed games this evening with a single game at Hamilton park at 6 o'clock. At that time, the Avig- lianese will tangle with the Sacred Hearts in what should prove to be an interesting tilt. The Hearts have won two of their four contests to date and will be out to make it a majority in tonight,s contest. Bill Adams or Lefty Colopinto will chuck for Johnny Towards charges while Tony Romanello of the North Enders will send Frankie Place to the slab.
 Tomorrow night the league will present three games, two booked for the East End field with the other slated for Washington park. The Hamilton Park games will show the OverlookS and the Tribunes kat- ting for second place on diamond No. while the Brooks and Mill Plain will work against each other in the diamond No. 2 contest. Packv Shea of the Tribes plans to have Joe Lenzi or Johnny Hardenburgh on the hill to face the Looks who will probably show Jackie Brickel with Franny Fahy in reserve.
 Jay vS HeatOn
 The Brooks, with four triumphs in as many starts, will start Joey Jay on the hill in an attempt to stay up on top. Stan Heaton, Leav- enworth high finger, will probably get the mound assignment for the Plainers with Jack Thompson in reserve.
 On the Hill"
 The Washington Park contest between the Hills and the Tom mics will give the "hill" fans an op- portunity to see their favorites in action and at the same time will mark the first time in years that the league has scheduled any con- tests at the diamond. Mgr. Red Gladney of the Hills plans to send Junior Carorll, youthful Waterville curveballer, to the hill with Pop" Dove behind the plate. The Tom mics will bank on the offerings of Freddy Jacavino or Harp Sullivan, with Joe Verno doing the back stopping.
 All contests are scheduled for 6 o'clock sharp.
