column before.
| have not wasted any time in
the bidding. | do not recommend
the jump from one heart to seven
hearts, and think trat North should
bid three diamonds over one
heart; but in order to get down
to the play we viii, get into the
seven-heart contract quickly.
With the club king opening, how
would you play the hand to make
seven-odd?
Do not make the mistake either
of trumping the club in dummy or
of discarding one OF the spades.
You must throw away a dia-
mond and win with the ace of
clubs, lead a small heart to the
jack, trump the three of spades:
then lead your last heart to the
king. On the ace OF hearts, which
picks up Vests last trump, you
discard the king OF diamonds; on
dummy's ace of spades you discard
the ace of diamonds.
Now the balance of duu1rny's s
diamonds are good.

warns it may be a year before you
can go into store and find an ample

The City Fathers In Earlier Days
Kept A Strict Watch On The Town

The early city fathers had a
watchful eye on the peace and
good order OF the city.
Item: Every person who shall
bathe in the rivei in the day time
at any point between Harnett and
Castle streets snall be fined not
to exceed ten d5!lars for every Of
fense."
Item: The City Hall shall not
be rented, leased or used for any
purpose other than religious or
charitable, and in no case shall
dancing be permitting in the said
hall"
Item: mo person shall #tch or
tie any horse or mule to any shade
tree or lamp post in any street;
nor shall any person hitch or tie,
ride or drive, any horse or mule
upon any sidewalk. All violators
shall forfeit and pay ten dollars
for every offense.'
Item: Every person who shall
ride on horseback or drive any
omnibus, carriage, buggy or pleas
ure vehicle of any kind at a gait
faster than ar ordinary trot, or
who shall drive any wagon, cart
or dray faster than a walk, except
when such wagon, cart or dray
may be unloaded, then it may be
driven no faster than an ordinary
trot in any stree: or alley, shall
forfeit and pay ten dollars for
every offense.
And, lastly, the city fathers were
equally tough on themselves.
Item: "Secticn 22-'If any alder
man of the City of Wilmington
shall refuse to surrender his Of
flee upon the expiration of same
by due course of law, he shall be
fined not less than two thousand

It is hopeless for Americans in the

political muddle in Japan, especially as

they are as much at sea as anybody
else.

Item: Extract from an Act for
the better regulation of the Town
of Wilmington, passed in 1892, Sec
tion 2 - Whereas the practice Of
billiard and backgammon playing
is carried to ar excess in the Town
of Wilmington, destructive to the
morals Of the youth of said town,
Be 1t Therefore F.nacted no per-
son, under the peralty of so
pounds. to be recovered and ap-
piled to the use of the town, shall
be permitted to keep billiard or
backgammon table in said town
and receive pay for playing at said
table, unless he shall first receive
a license from the county court.
The City daddies, as Mr.. Moore
calls them, were pretty tough back
in those days, too.
Item: AN Act for the better
regulation of sailor boarding
houses, passed 1917. Section 1: No
person shall keep in the Town of
Wilmington a house of entertain
ment for any sailor or seaman or

Yesterday, believe it was,
mentioned that Louis Moore had
passed on to me some items in
which you nigh. be interested.
So. why not let Mr.. Moore take
over today:
while browsing through some
of my books and files" he writes,
II stumbled across the dope at
tached hereto"
Well, now let's see about some
OF this dope
Mr.. Moore goes on:
''The commissioners Of the City
Of Wilmington have recently let a
contract at approximately $500
for the codification of municipal
ordinances and laws. The writer
has in his possession rather rare
volume now, entitled Acts of AS
sembly relating to the City of Will
mington from 1870 to 1881, in
elusive together with ordinances
of the city published in 1881. now
65 years ago. Possibly a few ex-
tracts from this volume may be
Of interest to the "eader of 1916.
Okay, extracts:
Item: "An Act for h better
regulating Of the Town of Whining
ton passed in 1745, Section 16: If
at any time, any tavern keeper.
ordinary keeper, CT any person
selling liquor, or keeping public
house in the said town, shall suf-
fer any person to sit tippling Or
drinking in his house on the Sab
bath day; sucn person so Offend
ing shall forfeit and pay for every
such offense the sum of 20
shillings. proclamation money"
Those boys looked after morals
in those days. Listen to this one:
