How fast bullet travels! Out of
gun it flies, so rapidly that no eye
can see it 60 past.
Cameras have been made, how
ever, which photograph bullet in
flight. Time and again bullets have
been snapped"
An idea of the speed of a bullet
is gained from the fact that it can
go through soap bubble before the
bubble has time to burst.
Men have used bullets to give them
mastery over wild beasts of forest
and jungle, but bullets also have
been used for bad purposes.
A person who fires a bullet should
know where it is going. On hunt
ing trip, ne. should make sure that
it will not strike human being by
accident.
The crime called murder" is car
ried out, sometimes, with a bullet.
"Who fired the bullet?"
That is the question which officers
of the law must answer at times.
AS a help they have this fact: A
record is written on a bullet which
passes through the barrel of pistol
or rifle. From scratches on bullet,
experts can tell the kind of weapon
used.
One day Charles E. Waite, famous
arms expert, was given a badly
mashed bullet by police chief. It
had been used in shooting a banker.
The next day, he told the chief:
THAT bullet was fired with black
powder from a gun with rusty
barrel. The gun had a six-groove,
right-twist spiral, with a pitch of
9h inches. The gun was made by
Nicholas Pieper of Liege. Belgium" !"
Made in Belgium!" exclaimed the
police chief. "I have suspected
Belgian artist all along!'
That is just one of many cases in
which bullets have been traced to
guns from which they were fired.
After the owner of a death weapon
Is located, 1t does not prove that he
fired the. fatal bullet. Other facts,

Nightmares Are Not Lady Horses.

Nightmares Are Not Lady Horses.
Almost every one has occasional
Nightmares and the word suggests
a wild and terrifying ride on a
rampaging lady horse, or being
trampled on by a plunging mare.
The truth is that a nightmare has
no connection with horses, male or
female. The Confusion is caused by
the fact that in English there are
two mares the familiar word
mare meaning "a female horse" and
the little-known word mare meaning
"a malevolent demon of the night"
from the Anglo-Saxon and old
Morse word mara, IAN incubus"
Now an incubus is a demon that
lies upon you and crushes you dur
ing sleep. Incubus is from the Latin
incubare, ito lie upon" A similar
demon is the succubus. For further
details about the two words, see
Webster's New International.
A mares nest is something that Is
believed to be a wonderful discov-
cry, but turning out to be delusion
or fraud. The term has been
traced to the 1500s. It isn't clear
which mare the expression refers to.

the demon is meant, for one would

the exact origin of mares nest Is

A demijohn is a wicker-covered

Discarding (Continued).

Extreme caution should be exer-
cised in discarding to an opponent
who has reduced his hand TO very
few cards (and having completed a
canasta is obviously playing to "go
out"), Strangers" otherwise known
as live cards, should be avoided.
Any card that has not heretofore
shown up may be regarded as
'live" in that there is a greater
probability that your opponent is
seeking such card.
Let us examine a few cases to
illustrate the points raised in the
preceding discussion:
It is early in the game and neither
side has made its initial meld. Fifty
points are therefore required. After
couple Of rounds of drawing you
find yourself in possession of the
following holding:
Joker 2 @ Q9977 KJ5
There is no reason to postpone the
making of the initial meld so you
naturally spread the joker in con-
junction with either the 9s or Qs.
This is the most economical manner
in which it is possible to go down
inasmuch as only three cards were
consumed in the process. Let us
assume that you meld joker-Q-Q
(notiee that the joker is used rather
than the Sdeuce). Now for your
discard. The play may have made
1t clear that you can safely dispose
of the five, card for which you have
no use. However, from a strategic
standpoint the discard of seven is
far superior. You are not really
giving away anything of moment.
your right-hand adversary may
make mental note Of the fact that
you discarded seven and if later in
the play he finds discarding some
what painful he may choose seven
in the belief that you do not need
such card. If such action permits
you may scoop up tidy pile and
your little investment will have paid
q handsome dividend.
You will observe that the discard
of the seven rather than the five has
not lessened your chances of obtain
ing the discard pile. AS a matter Of
fact it has actually improved your
chances. If the pack becomes frozen
(when only natural pairs will per-
NIT you to 60 IND you will retain
the same number of matched cards.
If the pack remains unfrozen, mas.
much as you have deuce you will
have one additional chance Of using
YOUR neighbors discard if you retain
the five. That is to say, you viii be
able to pick up the pile upon the
discard of a Q-9-7-K-J or s..
whereas If you discard the 5, you
will. have one less chance.
The Canasta Request Convention.
A well-established partnership
convention Is the request of partner
to complete a canasta, which is
made in the following fashion.
whenever a player adds joker or
deuce to meld containing five
cards. it implores partner to com
plete the canasta by the addition
Of another wild card.
To illustrate:
The opponents appear to have the
upper hand. They have completed
canasta or two and are weH on
their way to complete others. ~

New Kind Of Budget
May Save Fair Deal
In Next Congress
By NATHAN ROBERTSON

WASHINGTON (LPA)-One of the biggest
w news stories of 1850 is being breWed in
the Budget Bureau. 1t is a new kind OF fed
eral budget showing how the governments
money is being spent. 1t may make the dlt-
ference between victory and defeat for the
Fair Deal program in Congress next year ana
in the elections next fall
It has been obvious for some time that the
biggest battle over the Fair Deal program in
Congress next year would involve the prospec-
federal deficit of S. 500, 600 900. According to
present bookkeeping methods that Is how
much more the government is spending this
wear than 1t is taking in from taxes. 1t will
mean an increase in the big annual debt OF
another $500 900, 600 - or the biggest in
crease since the war ended.
Senator Byrd Cd, Va) and his conserva-
tive colleagues in ongress-Including Sens-
tor Taft (R, o. - have been planning to
make that the issue in their attack on all Fair
Deal programs in Congress They have been
planning to demand sharp curtailment of fed
eral spending to balance the budget
This would mean curtailing many Fair
Deal programs which are now being used to
strengthen America internally and interna-
tionally II would mean cutting expenditures
for the army and navy, for the Marshall plan,
for arming Europe II also would mean sharp
cuts in expenditures for western reclamation
home construction and even for social secur-
ity and education, although the social security
expenditures do not come directly out OF the
budget II would, in short, wreck the welfare
state
Fair Dealers In Congress have been wor-
ried Some of them were determined to fight
any cuts in these programs and demand, in
stead. higher taxes But they knew this was a
difficult battle-and one they probably would
lose--with the result that either they would
have to make cuts in spending or face the
charge of deficit financing in period of COM
parative good times
One OF the most troubled was Senator Paul
Douglas ID. Ill) a Fair Dealer who as pro-
fessional economist knew that deficit spending
in good times was dangerous and could not
be defended. AS a result, he had seemed to
join forces with the Byrds in demanding
economy-although the kind of economy he
wanted was far different kind Douglas
wanted to cut military expenditures and
eliminate waste. Byrd and his crew aimed
particularly at the social programs
The new budget, which is being prepared
at the Budget Bureau, may solve a lot of
problems for Douglas and the other Fair Deal
ers in Congress. BY showing how our money
is being spent, 1t will differentiate between
expenditures for running the government in
cluding army and navy, and for long-range
