AMERICA BEFORE COLUMBUS
"a The IrOauoian Tribes

In yesterdays article, we told
you of the Notwithstanding In
clans of eastern America - two
large groups of tribes which were
separated by tn territory occu-
pied by the group of 1roquolan-
speaking tribes. Though the life OF
the latter in some respects was
similar to that of the Algonkians,
they had many distinctive Gus
toms of their own.
The Iroquoian tribes lived in
Tong houses covered with bark.
Several families lived in a house,
each family having a fire in the
central passage. Life was very
public. The children played 10 and
fro around the fires; everyone
could see what everyone else was
doing.
A village consisted Of ten or
twenty houses, often surrounded
by a stockade. The villages were
moved from time to time. as the
fields around them became ex-
hausted.
Like the Algonkians, the Ircquo-
ians used wood extensively. In
stead OF bark for canoes, however,
the, followed their craft from
solid tree trunks, using fire to
char the wood, and then chiseling
it out with stone AIDES. They
made baskets of spruce roots and
sometimes of birch bark, although
sections of split ash wood were
more frequently used.

srWhat may l do to help save
this imperiled world for peace and
brotherhood"
That is the unspoken sentiment
CT people everywhere. All of us
have been warned of the dire pos
sibilities that lie just over the
horizon. We know that u destiny
resides "either with one world or
no world"
Yet, practically, what may
every one of us do about it?
Here is one answer, which I find
in The Christian Observer II is
an article by an elderly woman,
a retired" Christian worker. She
has issued a call to all ministers
| and missionaries, and to all others
whose life work has been in the
Gospel, and who r now set aside
in inactive roles. to covenant to-
| gether in daily, concerted prayer,
for this world in crisis. She sug-
gests nine O'Clock in the morning
as a time definitely set apart for
this intercession, though the gem
eral idea is to ''pray without ceas
ing"
Today's cause of peace needs
nothing more urgently than a raj
lying behind it of spiritual power.
What man can't do, God a do.
A great %concourse of prayer. such
as is proposed by this ex-mission-
airy woman, would be mor ef-
fective than all the cynical wis
dom of statesmen.
To your knees, soldiers of God.
tbs there the great battle may
be won.
SO W pour forth our prayers
to Thee, o God, in the name Of
Him Whose coming was attended
by a heavenly song of peace.
Amen. '

CHRIST STOPPED AT EBOLI, by
Carlo Levi, translated from
the Italian by Frances Fren-

the Italian by Frances Fren-
aye (Farrar, Straus: S3).
Up in the mountains along me
instep of the Italian boot, in The
area just north of the gulf OF Ia
ranto, are little villages 50
wretched and barren that, accord
ing to local tradition, Christ never
got that far, He stopped at Eboli'
Levi was exiled to that region
to Gagliano, for several years be-
fore the war. and it was during
the war that he wrote this account
of his life among the peasants
human beings but with about the
same advantages as animals, able
to speak but only out Of appalling
ignorance and debasing super
stition.
In the mass they were human
in sentiments and impulses, but
they believed in gnomes friendly
and hostile, they recited lncanta'
tons to cure jaundice, erysipelas
malaria and toothache, shey naa
the morals of the guineaplgaty'
and on the walls of all their bed,
rooms they hung, trustingly ana
pathetically. two pictures: Inc
Madonna of Viggiano and Pres'
dent Roosevelt.
Their Fascist mayor was a
scamp who glibly mouthed patri-
cite platitudes. Their other Of
ficia1s and overseers and the 1e"
members of the middle class were
cheap and tawdry characters; tne
priest boarded food or begot chli'
dren on his housekeeper, the
pharmacist overcharged for NE
saving remedies, the doctors were
inexcusably incompetent, the CEN
sor read the mail and COM
plimented Levi On his literary
style.
In this we can indorse the cen.
sor's jdgment. And we can ado
that Levi writes out of compas-
sion and with the power OF an
unusually keen observer. While ne
can pause every now and then 10
entertain us, the overall impress
sion is somber and tragic.
Those of us who think there's
nothing beyond Eboli must reao
this earnest, graphic record; it's

individual is still at the core OF IT,

Many players tell me that they
would be afraid to sit down and
play with the experts. I will admit
that 1 would hesitate to get into
the ring with a champion fighter,
but bridge is an intellectual pas
time, and fear of the expert only
makes it possible for him to get
away with murder. That is what
happened on today's hand.
First of all, the bidding was not
good. Playing the hand at three
no trump with a void can only
make for trouble. Declarer allow
ed the opening spade lead to ride
up to his jack. For want of a
better lead, he played the king OF
diamonds. and was surprised
when it held the trick. A small
diamond was led and won by
West, who returned the deuce OF
hearts. Declarer played the eight.
spot from dummy and East won
with the ace.
East returned the ten of clubs,
declarer put or the jack and West
Won with the ace. The jack of
hearts was returned, which de-
clarer won in dummy with the
queen. He cashed the king OF
hearts snd threw West back in the
lead with a heart. At this point,
if West had led a diamond, East s
queen would have won and set the
contract, but instead West led a
small spade. Declarer won with
the nine, cashed the king of clubs,
led a small spade over to dummy.
and all the hearts were good.
The difference between the ex-
pert and the average player on a
hand like this is that the expert
never gives up. He keeps right
on trying. and takes advantage of
every mistake that the opponents
make.

case of the "weak" trying to bear
the inflrmaties of the strong,
since all other schools are built
out OF public funds without the
people having to put up anything,
it also looked like case of fat
