Someone has said that in the
past nine years the average
mans WaiStline has increased
from thirty-one to thirty-four

some of those fellows with a

I have been hearing quite a
lot about Mike Kuchera run

favor of liquor for anybody, I
still think the legal sale of Ii
quor to the Indian might do
away with a lot of tummy-
aches and I'm sure that John II.
woodbury., Inc. has already
made his stake, SO he won't
mind the slump in his business
that the legal sale of liquor
might cause. Anyhow, there are

safety in numbers. I really
don't know why the Govern

nothing, unless it doesn't want
any competition in that field.
In England, a man can beat
his wife with a stick no larger

with the law only when he
uses an oversize stick to re-
form his wife.

TWO MAGICIANS

TWO MAGICIANS
On Thursday evening, No.
vember 3, the well known ma
gician Mitchell Cain entertained
a large, enthusiastic, and mys-
titled audience, mostly juvenile,
at the Junior high gym.
Picked from numerous vo1un-
teers, Joann hammers, Bob
Ruby and Bob Hart were called
from the audience, to take part
in various sleight of hand
Stunts. For the final and most
startling act, Lawrence Baaken
and the Rev. Norman Johnshoy
accepted the magician's invita-
ton to assist.
After building a strong chest
on the stage under the gaze of
an audience, they helped Cain
put his assistant, Gladys, in it,
lock it securely with padlocks,
and lace it into a heavy can
vas. The lady, when she disap-
peared into the box, was wear
ing Mr.. Baaken's coat and was
tied into a large sack.
How the lady got out of the
box in the very few minutes
during which it was behind the
screen and how Mr.. Cain got
into it, with Mr.. Baaken's coat
on, so that the chest and can
vas looked as If they had not
been touched, was a question
that really had the audience
stumped, and which Mr.. Baak-
en- and Mr.. Johnshoy were no
help in calculating.

Henry and Mr.. Dilly, with Serena
In his arms, struggled through the
deep snow to the little white cottage.
Henry knocked at the door. There
was no answer. He knocked again

Henry was disappointed. Maybe

said.

''Where else would you find flying
reindeers?"
Just then Mr. Dilly spied a folded
paper under milk bottle on the
cottage steps. He picked it up and
read it aloud.
"Mr. Milkman, please leave ia
extra quarts of milk tomorrow as we
are having company. Mrs. Claus. u
Goodness, said Mr.. Dilly. do

expected?"
s"If we are do you think we will
have to drink all that milk?" asked
Henry in alarm.
A Funny Dwarf Appears.

dwarf, his pockets bulging with
nails, hammer and Christmas lights,
came rushing up on the porch drag

whatever she is"
Santa Himself Arrives.
Suddenly a fine, firm voice cried
"Tweedleknees! Behave yourself!'
And there, striding up the steps
was Santa Claus himself, all red and
round and happy-faced.
Santa pulled Henry into his arms
and gave him the finest hug he hao
ever had. He shook hands with Mr.
Dilly and greeted Serena.
THE party is not until day afte,
tomorrow" said Santa. But well
come anyway"
1--WE didn't know about the party
protested Henry.
But we will be glad to come II
we are invited" piped up Serena.
Then Mr.. Dilly explained to Santa
who they were and why they had
come to Santa Land. Il thought
you would know all magic and could
show me how to get rabbit out OF
a hat. I'll never be a successful
magician until I can do that"
well, now" said Santa. Il will
try to help you but you must wait
until after the party. We're 50 busy
getting things ready"
Hal" snorted Tweedleknees. "I'm
the only busy one" .--
Don't m n d Tweedleknees,
laughed Santa. "He doesn't mean
any of his harsh words. Come In
now and get warm before the fire.
Reveals Plans for Party.
Seated before the fire he told them
about the party he was having. "All
my friends have been mad at me
because they say they never have
any Christmas. So I've invited them
here for Christmas party Of their
own"
VINO are your friends9" asked
Henry.
Santa threw out his arms. Good
ness! You know them all: The Hal
loween witches, the Easter bunny
Tom Thumb, Red Riding Hood
Simple Simon, the Seven Dwarfs. u
Henry's eyes nearly popped from
his head. You mean those people
are really coming here?"
Those and many more. Every
one is invited except the Wiggle
Waggles. They are some horrid
elves who cannot behave themselves
even at a party so I sent them no
invitation. Now I must 60 to the
shops for q while. Make yourselves
at home"
After Santa had gone Henry cried
Wont it be wonderful to 60 to such
a party!"
But Mr.. Dilly did not hear a word.
He was staring at little black box
in a corner beyond the chimney.
On the box were two words. They
said. "Santa's Magic
"Oh, N.Y." whispered Mr.. Dilly
who loved magic more than any
thing in the world. do you suppose
Santa would mind II I took one
tiny peek into his box?"

At first thought word without
a meaning seems an impoSslb1llty
But there are number in our Ian
guage that have no meaning even
when used in sentences.
What does "inhabitable" mean?
AS our good neighbors south OF the
Rio Grande would say, quien sabe?
If you feel sure, however, that lin
habitable" means aft for habita-
tion," turn to Webster's New Inter-
national, or Funk & Wagnalis,
where inhabitable is also listed as
meaning mot habitable; unfit for
habitation.. Literally, the word is
nonsense.
This is also true of Invaluable.
One meaning is: "Precious beyond
price; valuable beyond estimation" +"
The other meaning is: mot waltz
able: worthless" So this word like
wise cancels itself; it therefore is
without meaning.
Like our double-talk Words-in-
valuable, inhabitable, etc.-the word
cleave has a DR.. Jekyll-Mr. Hyde
dual personality. Observe:
l. Cleave, verb: To adhere closely;
to cling to; to unite, as in Tenny-
sons Guinevere: ITO love one
maiden only, cleave to her and
worship her by years Of golden
deeds"

Partner, you bid new suit. I
didn't think I could pass"
Partner thought I had to show
you a six-card suit"
Outbursts such as these were not
at all uncommon when the hands
shown above were encountered 10
q tournament not long ago. That
an apparent innocuous holding such
as this should have given cause for
concern to a group of experienced
PLAYERS seems almost incredible, but
the facts. speak for themselves. For
one BRIEF moment common sense
seemed to have taken holiday.
North opened the bidding with
one spade and South responded
with two clubs. Despite the fact
that he has less than an average
hand in high cards, we will take
no issue with him at this point,
In veiw of the fact that his hand
contains a six-card suit and sin
eleton. Ut should be pointed out,
however, that some players prefer
a one no-trump response with this
holding in preference to increasing
the level of the biddingo
North naturally bid two hearts,
at which point all South players
should have welcomed the oppor-
tunity to bow out gracefully.
The unaccountable desire to rebid
the six-card suit should have been
suppressed. In making the tWo-ciun
response there can be little doubt
that South had done his full duty
by the hand. ANY further acton
would be taken without the slightest
regard for partnerships safety and
would appear to be the act OF a
citizen who was bored with currency.
Reyerting to a state OF nature.
South might adopt this line OF
thought: "If partner has number
of spades and hearts it is not likely
that he will have enough clubs to
make that suit reasonably safe as
trump"
One player went so far as to bio
two no-trump at this point TO snow
the diamond stopper, a step which
he could Ill afford to take.
I think it is sound policy, when
one reaches the conclusion that
there is no game, to park at the
first convenient place.
Evidently some of these South
players operated under the mistaken
belief that North's naming OF a
new suit was forcing on them. The
student would do well to have this
point clarified early in his expert
ence. Only the player who has
opened the bidding is subject to the
new-suit forcing rule. No other
player at the table is bound by it.
If North (opener) had wished to
force South (responder) to speak
again. he would have jumped in a
new suit. Had North's second call
been three hearts, South would have
had no choice but to bid again.
To repeat, a change OF suit forces
the opener to bid again, but it does
not force any one else at the table

Nature has sprung surprise on
horticulturalists-a yellow avocado.
The place chosen for it's debut was
farm in the fertile Cibao Valley Of
the Dominican Republic.
The farmer noticed the ripe fruit
was yellow instead of green and
called it to the attention of Senor
Juan Pablo Duarte NJ, the Domin-
ican Republics agronomist in charge
of agricultural Investigations. Later,
the curiosity was discussed with
Howard F. Allard, who Is with the
United States Agriculture Depart
ment, and his father, DR.. Harry A.
Allard, formerly with the depart
ment. Here was great departure
green-fruited stock producing a
yellow fruit!
The flavor was good, the appear
ance most acceptable. So number
of -fruited stock have been
successfully budded with the new
yellow type.
The beautiful yellow avocado is OF
medium size with a smooth skin and
pear shape much like that of the
well known calavo. The quality OF
the flesh is excellent, with buttery
content decidedly nutty at maturity.
Spread on bread it is most ac-
ceptable substitute for butter and
its nourishment value is high. Orig
inally, the avocado, found by
stranded sailors, was named seaman S
butter. They picked the ripe fruit,
discovered the butterlike interior and
used it as such. Later the fruit
was given its present-day place in
the wol,~~. Many, however, call it
the alligator pear, because the orig
inal fruit had a wrinkly skin, in
appearance not unlike that of an
alligator's skin: that is, If you have
q vivid imagination.
The Allards suggest that this
unusual avocado be named the
Castillo in honor Of the little town
near where it appeared as a seeding.
