Famous Fables
By {. E. Edqor

INTERFERENCE: English
novelist John GalSworthy
prided himself on his hon
esty, which was not always
appreciated by others. One
year. after paying his in
come tax, he realized that he
had failed to include certain
royalties.
He sent a letter to the
tax authorities advising
them of his error. They re-
piled that the books for the
year were closed and they
could not help him.
Galsworthy refused to let
the matter drop. He esti-
mated the tax due and
mailed a check for the
amount. It was returned to
him. He sent it back. Again
1t was returned.
This went on for weeks.
Then one morning he re-
ceived a sharp note from the
tax Office, warning him that
unless the correspondence
was terminated. he would be
guilty of obstructing the au-
thorities in the performance
Of their duties.
That was enough for Gals
worthy. Disguised, he tore
I'D the check and returned
to his writing-resigned to
letting the royalties rest for
another year.

Little ROCK: Here Is clipping
which states that ~. c. is sick
in bed with influence" What a
rare disease!-Mrs. F.
Answer: OF course the Pied
Typer changed influenza" to
influence; oddly enough, how
ever, influenza" is simply the
Italian word for influence" The
disease was once thought to be
caused by the evil influence of
the stars.
Toledo: What is the correct
spelling, "pernickety" or per
snickety"?-D.J.
Answer: The expression. per
nickity" is listed in Farmers
Dictionary of Americanisms
O889 as: "A New England col
loquialism signifying fastidious;
overparticular." It perhaps was
coined from particular" and
"flnicky." It is my belief. how
ever, that the form "pelsnickety"
Cor "persnickity') prevails today
among the relatively few persons
who use the expression.

nounced in "toward''' My Eng

educated people.

1AAA Hoo0
If you make several extreme
and obvious underbidS playing
with a loose bidder for partner.
his own bidding will get wilder
and wilder, to balance" your
conservatism.
Similarly, if you press your
cards too much when playing
with a very conservative partner.
you will soon find him passing
you out at the most inopportuue
moments-for fear your next bid
will put the hand overheard.
The best you can do is to apply
the plan to "cloSe" hands-handS
which are susceptible of two bids;
one on the conservative side and
one on the aggressive side, but
neither subject to serious crit
icism.
Mr.. Dale had such a hand in
today's deal. When his partner
opened the bidding with a heart,
he had enough to take some for
ward-going action. He could bid
two clubs on the first round,
planning to give a single raise in
hearts at his next turn. Or he
could jump raise hearts imme-
diately.
He was a little short for the
latter bid, but not much. He
chose the double raise because
his partner was Mr.. Meek. And
Mr.. Meek might drop the bidding
at three hearts when game was
q laydown.
Mrs. Keen led the four of dia-
mondS. dummy ducked and Mr..
Abel won with the jack. The
queen of spades was returned and
Mr.. Meek was in with the ace.
If the queen of clubs could be
fineSSed successfully, there was
nothing to it. But Mr.. Meek,
peSsimistic as usual, knew" the
king of clubs was wrong. He
found another line of play.
Surely Mrs. Keen'S opening
lead had not been from the ace
queen of diamonds and, if not,
then the ace was still in Mr..
Abel's hand. Entering dummy
with a trump. he led the king of
diamonds. The ace went on and
he ruffed.
He went to dummy again with
O trump and returned the ten of
diamonds, on which he parked a
club. Mrs. Keen won with the
queen. cashed the king of spades
and led a club. But Mr.. Meek
went up with the ace and dis
carded his last club on the good
nine of diamonds.

Bankers Say

Following article appeared i'm The American Banker
Magazine. 1t might give some new slant on business
your own business as well as the matter of building
up your town.
mo business man in any town should allow
newspaper published in his town to go without his
name and business being mentioned somewhere in
it's columns. This does not mean you should have
WHOLE half or even quarter page ad in each issue
of the paper, but your and business should be
mentioned if you do not use more than
two line space
"A stranger picking up newspaper should
be able to tell what business is represented in town
by looking at the paper This is the best possible
town advertiser.
"The man who does not advertise his business
does an injustice to himself and the town. The man
who insists on sharing the business that comes to
town. but refuses to advertise his own is not
valuable addition to any town. ~
