Gin Rummy Lesson

Gin rummy is primarily a
game for two players, but it is
possible to have three-handed,
iour-handed or six-handed games.
In some cases. there are even
formidable" gin rummy games
with eight, 10 or II players.
Three-handed gin rummy Is
played exactly the same as the
two-handed game. as far as the
scoring is concerned. Only two
OF the players can play at a
time. of course.
First, the three players cut.
The lowest stays out and the
other two play the first hand.
This is scored TO the credit OF
the winner, and the loser drops
out, being replaced by the player
who was idle during the first
hand.
This continues. the winner al
ways remaining in the game and
the loser always dropping out.
HOW TO SCORE
The game ends when one OF
the players reaches 100. The
scores are totaled.
Suppose "a" "B" and &C" are
in the game. "A" scores 106.
"B" 81 and &C" IS. "A" wins "A
from "B" and Al from &C" a
total OF SIS. "B" loses "a TO "A"
but wins II from &C" SO his
net loss is z points. &C" loses
al TO "A" and II 10 "B," so his
total loss is SO.
If one of the players Is shut
out. the winner of the game gets
a 200-point bonus from him. but
this does not affect the score
Of the player who was not
shut out.

CUT FOR PARTNERS

1our-handed gin rummy is a
partnership game. The players
cut for partners. If they are
playing at a regular bridge
table, the partners SIT across the
table from each other. as they
would in bridge game.
Each player plays a regular
two-handed game against one
Of his opponents and then, after
each hand is finished, he plays
the next hand against the other
opponent.
One player on each side deals
the first hand, but after that
both members OF the side that
won the last hand deal the next.
In playing. the regular laws
OF gin rummy are followed. The
"four-handed' game consists. in
fact. of two separate two-handed
games played simultaneously.
However, they are scored as one
hand.
II "a" and "B" are partners
against &C" and ID" and If "a
wins his hand against CO by Is
points, while ID wins his hand
against b. by - points, the
Alb partnership wins the first
hand by 8 points. and that is
the only score entered.

NOT WORKING

According to all of the information which we have
received concerning the newly established Seattle
Civilian Traffic Control office the procedure adopted
under directions laid down by the Western Defense
Command just isn't working
When the Civilian Travel Control organization
first announced eager to applaud the move
on the grounds that because of the demand by the
military Alaska's transportation system all UNI
necessary travel certainly should be eliminated. The
military has enough trouble without having to COM
pete with civilians for transportation space.
From this end of the line, the procedure for Sc
curing permits to travel the States has been we'll
organized and is working smoothly. Applications are
expedited because in instances, officers of the
Alaska Defense Command nave had time to familiar
lie themselves with the residents in their respective
communities and it isn't much of job to find out
whether applicants have any legitimate reasons for
visiting the States
On the other hand, officials in the Seattle office
have been put to work by the WDC and know very
little about Alaska. They could very easily find out
whether not applicant is bona fide Alaskan
by wiring to the applicants home town. But instead
applications sent to WDC offices in Salt Lake
City and San Francisco and to the FBI in Washing
ton for consideration.
1t is understood that files of Alaskans kept at
these various offices but it is hard to believe that
all bona fide Alaskans listed in these files
Wouldn't it be much simple to make inquiries
in Alaska in the communities from which the appli-
cants from?
The ignorance of these Seattle officials of the Ter
ritory excusable since officials do not

appointing such officials instead of Alaskans may be
questioned One applicant wrote his permit that

however, is the delay from the standpoint of secur-

Over the heads of Congress- Americas everlasting
gratitude goes to the Civilian Conservation Corps
which the House and Senate have voted to abolish
as a sacrifice to false economy.
1t would have been true economy TO continue CCC
The valiant way CCC helped fight the depression
and converted its energies just as effectively to help
fight the war is glorious page in recent American
history.
Born in peacetime, it provided useful, healthful
activities for youth plus needed financial assistance
to their families. OF the 100000 boys who served
in CCC during its existence thousands received the
only education of their lives.

But long before declared, the CCC program
was being shaped for usefulness IN defense
At the time it was abolished 80 percent of CCC
work devoted exclusively to the effort More
than 100 CCC companies quartered right in the
Army camps performing essential tasks which SOL
ders otherwise would have had to do
Those tasks included building and maintaining
war equipment, operating he Army's railroads, erect
ing telephone systems, servcing Army air fields,
tending the Armys power plants, hauling military
supplies.
That's not "raking leaves" That's war service
Up to the last minute Army officials pleaded with
Congress not only to continue this program but to
expand it. n
Now who will perform the duties? You've
guessed it. Soldiers will have to be diverted
from military training to replace youths who be-
ing mustered out"

The coiliiguration stimulates ener-

ciates. Fortune hunters will come

In view of the casualness with which Nazi authori-
ties would have executed foreign saboeurs landed
The German coast although probably not until the
Gestapo had wrung all possible information from
them by torture) the United States is showing re-
markable consideration TO the eight men landed on
American shores from U-boats to spread death and
destruction throughout the nations war industries
President Roosevelt has ordered full and fair
military trial for the men. AS befitted the circum-
stances, their were not left to the ordinary
civil courts because their ofenses are essentially of
a military nature
In line with the Presidents order, the military
commission which is sitting in the Department of
Justice Building evidently is conducting a thorough
review of the circumstances under which the sabo-
teurs ttwo of them naturalized American ctizens)
landed and attempted to carry out their destructive
mission in the United States. They are being given
full opportunity to develop any defense they may
have on the four counts against them under the
United States Articles of War
The code of war-even that of the more civilized
natlons-is harsh The accused saboteurs could ex-
pect nttle else but death sentences if convicted on
such charges as they face in any nation of the
world fsse ~ A 80
1t is not their fault, however that a great many
American civilians have not been killed by their IN
fernal machines and planned acts of sabotage 1t is
not thelr fault that no great blow has been dealt to
the efforts of the United States to defend itself
against slavery by the Axis powers-a slavery as
awful as any historians can cite
All of these men (unless it appears that one was
helpful in frustrating the scheme) wifuly abused

tempted to use in Adolf Hitlers behalf If ANYTHING

HOROSCOPE

SUNDAY. AUGUST 2

This is not an important day in
planetary direction. The old may
be depressed and lacking in vigor.
HEART AND HOME: Under this
configuration it is wise to avoid
looking backward to the days OF
peace. Religious observances are
recommended by the seers who fore
tell spiritual quickening of the
nation. While the churches will
gain greatly in strength and in
unity OF purpose there will be sci
entific study of the ideal of i'm
mortality and new faith in the
possibility of communication with
those who dwell on the next plane
of existence.
BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Agriculture
and stock raising will contribute
tremendously to the food resources
of the United States this month
when novel processes of preserving
fruits and vegetables will prove
profitable to merchants east and
west Tie month should be for
tunate for farmers who are inter
ested lii the wholesale handling of
crops. In the future, machinery
will gain even greater scope in the
cultivation of vast accumulations
of fertile land. Small farms will
be absorbed by great syndicates.
NATIONAL ISSUES: Education
for the future will be widely dis
cussed this month when advocates
of vocational training will press
their cioims against growing oppo-
sitidn from college heads. Since
the war represents a battle of
ideas regarding civilization and 'ts
development the need of wise in
struction in the liberal arts will be
stressed as of first concern in a
democracy where the people rule.
Straight thinking must guide, the
seers declare, as they read in the

INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS:
Growth of sentiment in favor If
the Free French will be increasing
ly strong at this time when the
diplomacy of United States recog-
milton of the Vichy government will
be criticized as General De Gaulle
and his supporters gain strength.
For MARY months the stars have
indicated that revolutionary move
ments would be stimulated by
planetary influences which now will
be even stronger than they have
been since the beginning of Hitler's
terrible campaign for world powc,...
Persor.s whose birthdate it is

search or religious studies.

ucts of war will be future stress
on thoroughness, the seers predict.

the United Nations gain steadily
in the world combat, desperate
measures will multiply among Axis
enemies. Barbaric devices ;nclud-
Ing poisons as well as varied gases
are prognosticated for widely sep
arate blttle centers. Again treacn-
