THE AMERICAN way
Weekly Newspapers important

For some time, the trend of
population in America has been
toward the large cities. With the
evcr-increasing mechanization of
agriculture, it is requiring few
er and fewer farmers to produce
the food necessary to sustain our
citizenry. But despite this fact,
the people living in our big cities
are still outnumbercd by those
vino live outside Of them.
II is true that we do have q
great number of large cities
within the confines of these
United States and that this num-
Der is growing. II is also true
that the big cities continue to
grow bigger and bigger, despite
all attempts to decentralize
them. Nevertheless, the larger
proportion of our population still
lives in the smaller towns and
rural sections of the, country.
Statistics, as a general rule.
are rather boring, but if you will
bear with me 4 would like to
cite a few which prove that us
hicks in the sticks" do outnum-
Der the "city slickers."
Only iff- twelve of our states
does more than half of the popu-
lation live in cities of 10000 or
over. These states are: Califor-
MIA, Connecticut. Illinois, Mary
land, Massachusetts, Michigan,
New Jersey, New York, Ohio,
Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and
Washington.
In the other thirty-six, more
than half the population lives in
town of under 10000 or on
farms. This means that rs per
cent of our United States Sena-
tors are elected in states which
are more than so per cent rural.
In 268 OF the total of 435 con-
gressional districts, more than
half of the population lives in
towns of under 10000 or on the
farms, which means those rural
constituencies elect 61.6 per cent
of the United States Represen-
tativeS.
The twelve states which can
be classed as urban have a total
of 240 electoral votes for presi-
dent and vice-president, which

YOUR
ELECTION
LAWS

Those who visit their polling
place to vote on election day
may find it difficult to compre-
hend the vast amount of work
that has gone into the prepara-
tions for their vote. The Secre-
tary of State, as the chief cleo
ton officer in Ohio, has a year
around job of accepting filings
by candidates prescribing the
form of ballot to conform with
the law, issuing current instruc-
tions to each Board of Elections
as well as preparing information
for the voters. These instructions
must be made for those counties
using paper ballots, and other
instructions for those counties
where voting machines are used.
The county Boaro Of Elections
also has a big task of preparing
their local ballots having them
printed in accordance with the
law; hiring and inStructing their
precinct workers; and making
provisions for all the supplies
to be used on election day. The
work of carrying out elections is
not done in one day or one week
- it is planned and executed the
entire year.
The fact tina. there are more
than 1900 polling places in
Ohio and approximately 10000
persons employed in the admin
istration of elections on election
day, makes Ohio's election Sys-
tenn one of the largest in the
nation.

Modern Marriage
BY Dr.. Paul Popenoe

You hear o great deal about
the children Of broken homes
and perhaps you think It is Of
small concern to you. since
the matter does not touch you
personally. But. as Of today.
there are more than 2 million
such children In the United
States, with thousands more
to come-and they soon will
constitute an important Sec
ton Of our adult population.
II only half Of them are dam
aged by the experience of hav-
ing their homes come crashing
down about their heads, it is
. serious matter for the coun-
try. But in all probability far
more than half will suffer
some sort Of mental or physf-
cal injury. There Is plenty
Of evidence to support this
opinion.
Now comes Mrs. L. to add
her son to this piteous army
Of helpless children:

I'm going to put my son in the
best private school In this part
Of the country. You can't
make me believe that he won't
be q whole lot better off there
than in a home continually
filled with discord."
! don't try to make my read
ers believe anything, Mrs. L.
I lay before them the facts,
the evidence. and frequently
my own conclusions. and leave
1t to them to use their own
Judgment. Children are some
times not as much damaged
by living in a quarrelsome
home as divorce seeking moth
ers like to believe. They may
shrug their shoulders and
comment, "Oh, Nom and Dad
are squabbling all the time,"
building up a certain toler-
ance just as people may do in
q community badly infested by
mosquitoes. The children don't
think that they have ideal
homes, but at least they have
q complete home like other
children.
If, however. they are actu-
ally damaged in the home,
then we can't expect any
school to undo the harm that
the parents have already done.
The schools have no machin-
cry for that purpose. Military
academies, private, schools.
and other institutions that get
more than their share of these
children from broken homes.

may often achieve remarkable
results considering the ma
terial they have to work with,

RECEPTION-Some years
ago, while in Europe, pian-
ist Josef Hofmann decided
to give concerts in the re-
mote communities where the
people had never heard a
recital.
One night he was playing
to a group Of peasants who
had come from miles around
to witness the great event.
At the end Of each selection
he was greeted with a stony
silence which became heav-
ier and heavier as the con-
cert continued. Gould it be

After the final number,
the pianist stood up and
bowed. For the first time.

man, the audience arose and
bowed back to him.

Admittedly, it is satisfying to
beat 4-spade contract one
trick, by rare and brilliant play
which comes up about once in
five years. There is satisfaction,
too, perhaps of a more merce-
nary nature, in beating an ad-
verse 2-diamond contract 1,100
points.
One thing to remember about
what may be called practical"
defensive bridge is that you will
find it profitable in the long run
to make hairline doubles of over
calls which will not produce
game, even if made. OF course,
such close doubles should be
made only when it appears
doubtful that your side can make
q game. And it helps when your
right-hand opponent is a player
like Mr.. Muzzy.
In today's deal Mr.. Muzzy
overcalled with two clubs, in
tending to run out to two dia-
monds if he got doubled. He con-
siders this a devilishly clever.
plan. (The plan of simply pass
ing never occurs to him.
When Mr.. Dale doubled, Mr..
Abel made a bad rescue at two
spades. That was doubled, too,
and Mr.. Muzzy saw fit to bid
his surprise" suit, diamonds, at
the three level. It was apparently
no surprise to Mr.. Dale, who
doubled again.
The 10 of hearts was opened
and Mr.. Masters won with the
king and returned the five of
diamonds. Mr.. Muzzy played low
and was amazed when the 10 in
dummy won the trick. He figured
Mr.. Masters wouldn't lead away
from the ace and therefore Mr..
Dale must have that card. But
Mr.. Masters would need two
aces for his opening bid. so he
must have the ace of clubs.
At trick three Mr.. Muzzy led
the club from the dummy and
put up the king. The ace won and
another heart was led. Mr.. Mas
tiers won with the ace and cashed
the ace of diamonds. Now he
played the jack of clubs and fol-
lowed with small club to Mr..
Dale's queen. He ruffed the club
return with the queen of dia-
monds, completing a 3-trick set.
Not too bad a result on a hand
where the defenders would
have had trouble making one
odd at any contract.
