Vests double Of two hearts was
sound enough, for If East had a
reasonably balanced hand, South
might easily be set four or five
tricks. But East's singleton heart
indicated to him that the opponents
had found a good spot and that
they would have good play for
their two-heart contract. Hepce he
ran to three diamonds.
That was passed around to North,
who went to three hearts; and here
was Vests chance to show his dis
cretion. Most players would be
tickled at the chance to make
another penalty double at higher
level. But West reasoned that his
partner had warned him against a
double of two hearts; therefore a
double of three hearts might be
equally bad and in any case, would
not net fortune. If the opponents
could make three hearts, let them
get their part score, thought West.
And if they couldn't make it, so
points a trick was good enough.
So he passed and opened trump,
tne best defense. But South couldn't
be touched: He ruffed spades in the
dummy and diamonds in his own
hard, making seven trump tricks
and the two side aces for a total
OF nine tricks.

UNCLE RAYS CORNER
When the Germans attacked

When the Germans attacked
Crete from the air, and conquered
1t, some persons said:
"If they can do that, they can
probably conquer England in the
same way"
In answer to such point, there
are several things to be said. We
may sum them up in this way:
"Crete and Great Britain are two
different islands"
Great Britain is % times as large
as Crete and had 119 times as many
people. Since Great Britain is
thickly populated, it would be hard
for parachute troops to land any
where without being seen.
Thousands of British aviators are
defending their homeland. Working
with them are pilots of other coun-
tries. The British Army is we'll
trained and has reached great size.
Nazi tricks are to be feared, how
ever. There is no telling what would
happen in case of actual invasion.
After Norway was lost, stories of
the fifth column spread through
the world.
People in Great Britain studied
the stories, and decided to guard
themselves against such trouble.
Ever since then, they have been car
rying out plans to cut down danger
from spies and others who might
help invaders.

I never say "I written"

To draw the learned frown.
But these two words: Imply, Infer"
Oh, boy, they get me down!
Marie c., East st. Louis.
IMPLY and INFER are stumbling
blocks to many person. The words
should not be confused, for they
have opposite meanings.
To IMPLY is to express indi-
rectly; to hint. The speaker or
writer implies. How to use the
word: I do not wish to imply. Do
you mean to imply? I resent his
implication.
To INFER is to understand; to
interpret; to draw a conclusion.
How to use the word: I do not wish
you to infer Am I to infer? I hope
your inference is correct.

At Knoxville

KNOXVILLE, Tennis N 81
One of the most beautiful weddings
of the. season was that of attractive
Elizabeth Ann Lewis, daughter of
Mrs. Lula Lewis, and William AL
bert Payton, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
r. w Payton, of Warren, Arkansas,
which occurred at 300 o'clock Sat-
urday at Logan Temple. The pas
tor, Rev. E. o. Cowan, officiated.
The altar was beautifully deco
rated with white gladioli, with a
background of Wide-Spreading
Oregon ferns. White tapers burned
at either end of the altar.
The bride wore gown of slipper
satin, which was made with a
fitted bodice, leg of mutton sleeves,
and sweetheart neckline. 1t was
also fashioned with a sweeping
circular train. The bridal veil
of illusion fell from a hale of
orange blossoms. Her bouquet was
of white rose buds with a center
of gardenias. Her jewelry was a
pearl necklace.
The attendants were Miss Ina
Joan Bradford, maid of honor;
Mrs. Nora Russell McDade, matron
of honor; Miss Mildred Neither
land and Mrs. Lois Alexander
Goode were bridesmaids. Their
dresses were of apple green net
over green taffeta and pink taffe-
ia. They were fashioned with full
skirts on fitted bodices and sweet
heart necklines. They carried GER
den flowers of pastel shades tied
with ribbons matching their
dresses. On their heads they wore
halos of garden flowers correspon-
ding with their bouquets. Each
wore rhinestone clips which were
gifts from the bride.
The ushers were Theodore Gross

OUT OF STEP
They correctly saw in these men,
who sought to rise to power on the
backs of other Americans, some
thing that must be made alien to
America. They wisely recognized
that these men were completely out
of step with the noble purposes OF
this "War for liberation"
1t is to De hoped that they
realize that this war cannot
be said to be completely won
until the equality of all men is
recognized as a fact, until the
basic rights and privileges of
all men are secured.
This means the abandonment OF
restrictive measures that foster and
protect hatred inspiring discrim-
nations between peoples because
of race, creed or color.
1t means that no longer can a
state appropriate $35 to educate
one child, while limiting the ex-
penditure of the education of an
other to Sc.
MUST BE GIVEN
1t calls for the abolition of re-
strictions preventing a large seq
ment of the states populace from
having voice in choosing the peo-
pie who are to make the laws,
which they must obey; to levy the
taxes, which they must pay.
1t spells the end to insidious
wage differentials based on race,
on harsh racially restrictive en-
ployment practices.
None of these things have a
place in the bright new world
to come. They are instruments
of the imperialist, and imperi-
alism died at Singapore, even
though its roots still exist in
America.
The people of Georgia, South
Carolina and Louisiana in defeat
ing these three apostles of repres-
sion have found the pathway that
leads to complete victory" Will
they be willing to remove these
other barriers that block the road
to freedom for all Americans? That
is an interesting question which
only the future and the relentless
struggles OF a determined people
can answer.

This development was called TO
the attention of transit officials
by Otto S. Boyer, Director OF the
Division of Transport Personnel,
Office of Defense Transportation,
in an address at the Palmer House,
Chicago, Ill, Wednesday afternoon,
September 9, 1912.
SHOULD UPGRADE MEN
Discussing measures which the
industry should adopt to meet its
manpower problems, Director
Boyer declared.
TN the first place, it can up
grade its less skilled workers to
more skilled occupations as rapid
ly as their qualifications will per-
nit. This process has, in fact, been
going on in the industry for many
months. It is possible that it has
been followed to the point where
no large additions to the StaffS OF
skilled workers can be obtained
from this source, at least not in
the immediate future. 1t is, never
theless, a policy which must be
preserved as completely as pos
sible. 1t is much easier to hire
unskilled workers than skilled. ANY
industry which plans its program
of work SO that men can be hired
in the less skilled ranks and then
upgraded to higher occupations is
at a great advantage in meeting
problems Of personnel shortages.
