Bauer, Sands Take
Grip on Local Law

Holding court each morning a
the Martin City Jail housesls Har'
ry E. Bauer.
Other elected justice of Beltor
township, Bill Sands has been ap-
pointed a deputy sheriff.
It all came when Lions clut
committee expressing the sentl-
ments of the West Glacier ano
Martin City clubs, asked for &
full-time resident deputy above
Bad Rock canyon. Sheriff Dick
Walsh solved the problem. He ap-
pointed the judge.
Bauer, former Martin City mer-
chant, at one time was county
clerk at Chinook.
1t is hoped locally that when
the county commissioners fill the
justice vacancy by appointment,
they'll pick Bolton or Apgar res
ident, thus giving the other end
of the township a local court.
Dave Thompson, Bolton mer-
chant, is special deputy sheriff,
just in case.
Much impressed with new Dep
uty Sheriff Sands is his grand
Susie Smith, 2. She
looks at his guns and says
''Ineeyuns."

effect was to depress. TO sadden. to
make gloomy.
In the course of time, the word
l1umor lost entirely its meaning Of
fluid of the body" and took on the
psychological meaning of "a mood; /;
a state of mind" as, cheerful
humor (sanguine), an ugly hun1or
(choleric), an apathetic hun1or
(phlegmatic), = fearful humor
melancholy. .
But there was need Of still an
other word to designate blood
thirsty or murderous disposition
the exact opposite of sanguine. 80,
with charming inconsistency. the
ancient scholars returned to the
Latin word sanguis and brought
forth the adjective "sanguinary.
The curious anomaly Is but one OF
many that occur all through English
and which prompt the language
student to echo Shakespeare's plant:
'Zounds! l was never 20 bethumped

Sanguine-Sanguinary.

S0Vk gang AAAAAesA
Little Rock: Since sanguine and
sanguinary have a common origin,
how do you explain their utterly
opposite meanings?-G. B.
A.. True, both words come from the
Latin sanguis, "blood." Sanguine
denotes that which is ardent, cheer
full, confident. Sanguinary means
''bloodthirsty; murderous." It came
about thus:
In the old days, the body was
supposed to contain four vital hu-
mors (humor is the Latin word for
liquid; fluid OF the body: l, sanguine
blood; 2, phlegm; 8, choler tyellow
bile). and 4, melancholy (black bile).
These humors were supposed to
affect q persons disposition and
well-being. For example, II blood
was proportionately abundant, q
person was vigorous, hearty and
cheerful. Thus, sanguine was Z
good humor." II phlegm predomi-
mated, 1t made one cold and sluggish,
or phlegmatic. Choler was Z bad
humor" produced an evil. irascible
disposition. Also, one with choleric
disposition was almost certain to
become q victim Of cholera. Melar1-
oholy, too, was . bad humor." IT.

The advantage In making over
calls is sometimes balanced by the
disadvantage in the aid given to
the enemy. by way of Information
as to the distribution and location
of the missing honors.
In today's hand declarer, at slam
contract, in the absence of an over
call. would have been put to guess
as to the manner of playing the club
suit. Under the circumstances, how
ever, he found the election relatively
simple.
The slam contract was reached
after considerable bidding contor-
tions. South took an unearthly
length Of time to get there. When
partner responded with a free bid
OF three hearts, there ought to have
been no question in South's mind
that q slam should be reached, since
he had so very much in excess OF
what 1t would have taken to produce
q game. His bid of four clubs is
recommended. A grand slam would
be within reach If dummy happened
to have a singleton club and both
missing aces. When North showed
the ace of diamonds, South's call OF
four hearts was an egregious under
bid and, as it turned out, he was
lucky to get another chance. I am
by no means convinced that North
was justified in showing the ace
of spades above the game level.
While he holds three honor tricks
his hand is not very rich in playing
strength, of which an adequate de-
scription has already been given by
the three-heart bid.
The queen of spades was opened
and taken with the king and the
danger OF losing two club tricks
loomed on the horizon. Declarer
cashed the ace of spades and ruf1ed
the low spade. He repeated the
process in diamonds stripping both
hands of spades and diamonds,
Trumps were drawn in two rounds
Now. without any outside clues,
declarer's best chance, would be to
play in the hope that one OF the
adversaries held doubleton club
including a high honor. On that
basis the ace OF clubs would be
cashed early and when the hands
were. completely cleared OF spades
and diamonds, low club would be
led. The player winning with the
doubelton would then be rendered
helpless, because he would be obliged
to give declarer a ruff and discard.
However, the bidding made it clear
that West had both the king and
the queen, so declarer after stripping
the hand, led a low club toward
dummy. West, winning with the
queen, was helpless to make an
tnnocuous return.

Al seaman, Capt. Robert Bartlett,
is the hero Of the story have to tell
today. He lost his vessel. the Karluk,
but after that sad event he proved
that he was "a man of IRON"
Bartlett took part in the great
expedition led by Stehansson, Cana
dian-born explorer, starting IN 1913.
Twenty -four white men and seven
Eskimos were on board the Karluk
when 1t came to anchor at point
north of Alaska. Steffansson and
five other men went ashore to hunt
Then came gale which swept the
Karluk far to the west, to point
north of Siberia.
That left Steffansson and his
comrades In a sorry position, but
they were expert hunters and man
aged to return safely to Canada.
Later they went on with their work
of exploration.
Meanwhile the 'Karluk" was
having things happen to it. First
1t was penned in AN ice field, and
then the ice began to crush its
sides!
Bartlett ordered those aboard to
take off supplies and pitch tents on
the ice. This work was finished
shortly before the pressing ice
made a complete wreck Of the
"Karluk."
The weeks which followed were
spent going over the ice to Wran-
gel Island. That island did. not have
"a single village. on 1t. In time the
supplies would give out, and all
might starve to death.
II will set out for the mainland
while the others camp here" said
Bartlett. With q single Eskimo as
This companion, he fought his way
across 100 miles Of ice and reached
the coast Of Siberia.

world abo,lt the men marooned on
