But if patriotism-the willing
ness to sacrifice and endure dis
clpline for the welfare of the
community is conspicuously
lacking. French natlonalsim has
not abated, and consists of the
demand that other countries
should make a sacrlflces for
France. Britain and Belgium,
who have brought high degree
of order into their economies,
through patriotic discipline, are
penalized for it by ERP, while
France is rewarded for bank
ruptcy.
And if France or rather
Frenchmen leaned anything
politically from the experience
of the Versailles period and its
outcome. 1t is not discernible.
Again Frenchman want to re-
peat the errors of the l920's and
forge a Gordon around both Ger
many and the Soviet Union. That
this unrealiStic program which
between Germany and Russia,
was the basic cause of World
War II escapes their notice. and
that the situation is incompara-
bly, less favorable for such a po-
Icy today does not change their
obesslon.
Britain and the United States
do, to be sure, whittle down
French claims, but they lack the
desperate resolve which anima-
ties the French hysteria. French
policies are not adopted in full
to do so would collapse the whole
recovery program - but enoug

able settlement. Without being
strong and vital enough to TIL

later modified it. !

the Thanksgiving dinner of more

BOIL WEEvIL BANDIT
By Lillian Cox Athey

Thirty years ago, December IL. a
monument was erected in Alabama
by cotton planters to an enemy who
indirectly did them q good turn.
Fifty years ago one Of our most
costly insect foes, now No. ! enemy
to cotton crops, entered the United
States by way of Texas from Mexico.
Within two years Of its entrance
it was established in six counties Of
Southern Texas. The rate Of travel
by the descendants of the flrst in
vaders was at the rate Of from 40
to 100 miles per year. The board
bill amounted to $200, 900 900 annu-
ally or $3.50 tax on every man,
woman and child in the United
States.
If the price of cotton seems high
this year, remember the boil weevil
has taken out millions of dollars
worth of cotton that never even
reached the markets.
Things were so bad for cotton
planters in 1911 they were per-
suaded to plant other crops and
starve the boil weevil to death. The
new crops paid so well that debts
were paid and surplus. That was
the reason the planters got together
and erected q monument. The in
scription on the shaft reads: "In
profound appreciation Of the boil
weevil and what it has done as the
herald of prosperity. This monu-
ment is erected by the citizens Of
Enterprise, Coffee County, Alabama,
December II, 1919."
The boil weevil's life story Is in
teresting. The adults pass the win
ter in some coZy spot under bark,
in hayricks, under buildings or in
trash left in the field.
AS soon as the fruiting season Of
the cotton Is at hand the army of
hibernators comes out of seclusion.
The males seek their mates, who
later fly to the cotton. With long
beak the female pulls the fruiting
cotton from the bud, enough to
make a spot in which the single
egg can be laid, then flies away.
A female will deposit through one
season 12,755,100 eggs. You can
readily see how much damage that
many grubs can accomplish.
Within three days the egg
matches, the hungry grub burrowing
deep into the heart of the square"
running it. From seven to II days
later the greedy grub passes into
the pupa stage, and in five days
will step out an adult with wings.
From here the story Is repeated.
If you are good at figures, you
can see how much the cotton grower
reaps of the cotton he plants.
Spraying with planes and other
methods to curb these cotton de-
stroyers Is costly. The perfect REM
edy is plant something else in the
cotton field and starve the bandits
to death. They are not experts at
fasting. One year accomplishes
much,

The bidding:

Opening lead, king of clubs.
From time immemorial players Of
average ability have been asking
the question, Holding 10 trumps,
is it proper to finesse to capture the
king, or is it correct to play for the
drop?" The abstract percentages
favor the finesse, but percentages
should be resorted to only when
there are no specific clues and where
there are no extraneous considera-
tions. In today's hand South sue
ceeded in buying the contract for
four spades. After receiving q raise
from his partner, West would have
done well to take the sacrifice, but
conditions of vulnerability deferred
him, and in the final analysis he
proved to be right, due to faulty
play on the part of South.
The king of clubs was opened and
the void in dummy shattered all
hopes of the defense, but only for a
minute. Declarer noted that he had
10 trumps and remembered that the
best percentage play to pick up the
king, with that number, was to
f1nesse, so he promptly led the jack
of spades and permitted it to ride.
West took the trick and realized
that unless partner held specifically
the ace and jack Of hearts there
was no way to break the contract.
He, therefore, returned the queen of
hearts and the defense garnered
three tricks in quick succession to
defeat the hand.
With the fortunate lay Of the
cards, proper play would have yield
ed declarer all 13 tricks. The cor
rect play at trick two was the ace
of trumps and not because the king
was alone, but because it virtually
guaranteed the success of the con-
tract. If East has the king of
trumps he is welcome to 1t. Let
him have it, because he cannot at
tack dummy's king Of hearts and
the best he can do now is cash the
trump trick and the high heart. If
he fails to take the ace of hearts
the suit will be discarded on the
diamonds in dummy.
If on the play of the ace of trumps
the king does not fall declarer i'm
mediately starts running the dia-
monds and obtains discards Of the
losing hearts. Percentages are all
right when there are no other con-
siderations, but when the contract
can be assured, that's no time to
think of mathematics.
