It seems to me I know them, their in every ferst class directory and telefone book, pop sed, and Ant Fanny sed. And suddenly they all serrounded me and low and behold they werent munkeys at all, they were my best friends all congratulating me, and wat do you sippose they were congradulating me for? Just to make the dreem longer, pop sed, and Ant Fanny sed. Not at all, they were congratulating me on my 16th berthday and all insisting on kissing me to prove the untruth of the old proverb Sweet 16 and never bin kissed, and just then the entire scene changed and I was walking across an endless desert in a continuous wind. Its getting late, I had no ideer, pop sed looking at his watch, and Ant Fanny sed. You must wait and hear the end, the most of it is still to come, well, I suddenly herd a peculiar cracking sound and wat do you sip-pose it was? It was you waking up and forgetting the rest, pop sed, and Ant Fanny After dummy has gone down and junior has got into the lead, I have seen junior (an expert) upon seeing ten in dummy lead out his singleton ace of suit bearing this message to partner: "I am inviting a ruff in this suit; otherwise I should hold up my ace to kill the adverse king or queen; I Expect you to return a card of suit immediately that you get in the lead." Sad to relate when partner got in he failed to re- turn suit and merited a mild reminder from his teacher.

Had the pupil paused to ask' himself: Why in the name of common sense does he lead out an ace with visible in dummy and made his de- ductions in the same name, he would probably have returned the suit and merited approbation. The drawing of proper deductions when partner has made an apparent violation of an accepted precept of the game adds zest to the play and gives pleasure to the participant. For practice in the picking out of the proper blind leads in accord with the preferential list, let the reader consider the following example hands in which he shall have to differentiate between two or 'more apparently plausible leads. Dealer holds the declaration at spades in each case. Senior's hands (for an opening blind lead) are respectively as follows: and pop was eating brek-flst this morning, me saving, I wonder why Ant Fannie ain't down yet," I won der wat she dreemed about last nite.

Ant Fanny always telling about her dreems at brekfist, and pop sed, I hope thats one of the many things 111 never find out. Im eating fast and hoping hard, he sed. Pop hating to lissen to peeples dreems espeshilly if they dont make sents. And just then who came down but Ant Fanny, saying. My Goodniss Willyum I had the queerest strangest dreem.

Yes yes, you told me yestidday morning, pop sed, and Ant Fanny sed, How could I ony had it last nite. You must be thinking of the dreem I had the nite before, she sed. No doubt its the same dreem, pop sed, and Ant Fanny sed, No it wasent, I remember that other dreem perfeckly, I can tell it to you all over agen. Not at all, I meen I remember it too, pop sed, and Ant Fanny sed, Enyways its remarkable how I can remember my dreems even to the AN ENDLESS DESERT tiniest detail, and yet I havent a good memory at all for other things, in fact if I try to remember ware I put anything it gives me a splitting hedake, but now this dreem last nite for instants, its as cleer as a book, it started off with a whole proces- sion of munkeys and each munkey had a card tied around its neck with somebody's name on it that I dident know, for instants James H. 18a TELLING HER OREEfA George White, it develops, writes a new "Scandals" show on a round trip to Europe.

He goes over, reft WOMEN IS DISCOVERED. mains two days Paris, and returns on the same boat. Away from the telephone and the harrassing details of acting and producing, he returns with enough ideas for a new production. White could still be taken for a young soda water clerk dressed up for Coney island, and in years is the youngest producer. A gentleman from Patchogue, Long island, writes to know if I can quote the entire poem ending: "The coat and pants do all the work, "But it's the vest that gets the gravy." Even if I could enlighten him, I wouldn't.

(Copyright, 1928, McNaught Syndicate, Inc.) am HIS is the last season on Broadway for the danc-y ing Astaires Fred and iLl Adele. The sister member of the act is shortly to marry and settle down on one of those big country estates in England. Omaha gave the stage this neat pair of hoofers. R.

Sherwood, editor of Life, credits the versatile George S. Kaufman with the best paragraphing pun of last year. Mr. Kaufman the headline: "Gale Plays Havoc in City," for the hilarious 'comment: "Well, I'm certainly glad to hear New York landed the Gale-Havoc game." women have joined New York's army of sandwich men. Incased turtlelike in signs, they parads the streets advertising an upstair shoe shop.

In underworld slang, it is called: "Carrying the banner." The seedy human anachronisms who "carry the banner" are paid from 50 cents to SI a day. They bury their heads in their coat collars and trudge along the gutter edge, despairing symbols of human woe. Old Fritz Kummer, known to his reading public by the grand patronymic Frederic Arnold Kummer, has written a gay and flippant book dealing with notorious ladies who are now adorning hell's smart set. He calls it "Ladies in Hades," and it's a rollicking satire on Satan and his charges, in the modern Hollywood manner. One of the reasons a country boy grows lonesome in New York is because he never meets any one who calls him "Bud." The man who more than any other is responsible for women smoking in public in New York is Albert Keller, the directing head of the Ritz-Carl-ton hotels in America.

The question first -came up when the egg-shaped amber dining room of the Ritz was opened. He said "Yes" and other hotels had to follow his lead. Valentino seems to me the only actor who has ever put over that intangible quality known as "personality" on the screen. The actor who seems to me to offer the least in personality is John Gilbert. Of all American stage actors, Hol-brook Blinn.

to my notion, is the most finished in every way and the only actor who ever pronounced "gusto" correctly. One of the most-talked-about actresses of the last season is Helen Hayes in "Coquette." Yet I must Indian MUTTER AND MUMBLE' (1) S. K. D. K.

Ki r. c. 10 May not senior sense that he and partner are long in the spade suit and that declarer hopes for an earl discard of a losing card from his own hand upon dummy's high spades, and effect a cross-ruff on dummy's short hearts? What declarer fears most is the opening lead of a trump that will tend to spoil the broth.

Senior leads a trump the diamond from Q-J-x. The declarer's choice between a trump and a no trump declaration in the foregoing example leads one naturally to inquire what are the lelative advantages and disadvantages of the two declarations. The subject, therefore, of our next talk will be "Trump Versus No Trump Declaration." Alaska Fur Farms. The first government fur farming lease, under congressional authority of the act of July 3, 1926, has been issued by the Department of the Interior, according to a statement by the department made public Jan. 20.

The full text of the statement follows i Said' lease gives the lessees the right to construct and maintain on the land all buildings, plants or other structures necessary to the full enjoyment of the lease for a period of ten years from the date of the lea3e, with a preferential right in the lessees to renew the lease for successive periods of ten years upon such terms and conditions as may be prescribed by the lessor. The lessees are required to pay a minimum yearly rental of $25 and a maximum yearly rental equal to a royalty of 1 per cent on a gross re-turn derived from the sale of live animals and pelts, where the same exceeds the minimum rental mentioned. The yearly rental is to be credited against the royalties as they accrue for that year. ifenedloay confess her charms escape me and, aside from an excellent performance by a young man who portrays a town ne'er-do-well, I thought the play of no more than ordinary interest. My enthusiasms for individual players during the year concerned Judith Anderson in "Behold the Bridegroom," Claudette Colbert in "The Barker," Charles Winninger in A NEW OCCUPATION FOB "Show Boat," Edward Robinson in "The Rackett," Harry Tyler in "The Shannons," Hal Skelly in "Burlesque" and Mae West in "Diamond Lil." One of the finest vignettes of London slum life comes from Harper's.

It is a thin volume called "Jipping Street," by Kathleen Woodward, and is a pitiless story of class and its consciousness. No poverty is so depressing as that of London, and yet the writer worked her way out of it to wealth and fame. The Harry Sinclair acquittal did not give the hot-gospelers of the soap box as much ammunition as they expected. After several weeks the general conviction seems to be it was not the oil man's millions that won him freedom, but because he was being prosecuted by the gov- en tha Kowlcr in Richland county, Ohio.

James, eldest, Robert, under 21, and Thes will run about as follows keeping the worse till the last; dKKing leads, from A-K-y-x A-K-x-x K-y-J-x K-y 1 The most desirable blind lead against a trump declaration is the king, and when a leader holds in his own hand an honor combination that will permit of a king's being led, the 1 smoke barrage is lifted. The lead from A-K solo is a good one, but in that case first the ace is led and the king, asking for a ruff. The reader already is aware that a king lead discloses an accompanying ace or queen or both, as in the examples given.

(2) "A singleton lead, other than a singleton' ace or king, in- viting a ruff. The lead of a. 9-spot is marked as a singleton and calls loudly for a ruff. The reader has been cautioned, however, not to ask for a ruff if holding as good as four trumps to the jack or three -to the queen. In such case he should 'rather seek to reduce the trumps in declarer's hand to a parity with his own by forcing declarer to trump commanding cards of plain suits.

(3) Queen and jack leads, as follows: (a lb) (C (J-J-9-X Id) J-10-S-x Observe in (b) and (c) that a three-card sequence jack-high is to be pre-l erred -to a two-c-rd sequence queen-high, and in c) and (d) that a two-card sequence queen-high is to be preferred to a two-card sequence jack-high. A three-card sequence suit topped by. a king or queen is a strong suit; and, therefore, the holding in your hand at auction of even a singleton king (although accorded no quick trick value) is not without significance, for it gives you absolute assurance that the opponents do not hold the highest three-card sequence in that suit. And if you hold a singleton king in each, of two suits you may depend upon it that they greatly weaken the potential bidding power of the opponents, and that if the ad-. verse bidding runs high the singleton kings may afford you a lucrative double.

(4) Other' four (or more) card suits headed by low honor or by none, for a "fourth-best" lead. The Dartner of the leader of a fourth-best card at a trump declaration should bear in mind that the leader seldom desires a return lead In that suit it is far from his thought or exDectation. He has not the ace or he would have led it, nor has he any honor sequence or he would have led its too card. Scan dummy and see if leader might not desire a lead toward a tenace or weakly guarded king (in his own hand), or up to weakness in dummy a three-card worthless suit. (5) The lead of a low doubleton or trebleton too card lead.

Note how high this undesirable lead comes in the preferential list; It will afford an inkling of how absolutely undesirable are the leads that follow the leads from intermediate sequences, and from ace and small ones, and from tenace suits. And yet how often the novice will select one of these latter in preference to the lead of fourth-best card, or other more desirable lead! He mav feel that all the leads his hand affords are bad, but he forgets that some are worse. If he has the preferential leads well in mind, he may not go from bad to worse. (6) Leads from a trebleton. queen or jack high (Q-x-x); the middle card is led.

If two cards of the trebleton be Q-J or J-10 J-10-xl, the top honor is led. (7) The jack lead, from the intermediate sequence (J-10) K-J-10-x. (8) The 10 lead, from the intermediate sequence (-10-9) and one essential honor (K or Q), as K-10-9-X, Q-10-9-X. (9) The ace lead, from ace and mall ones (A-x-x-x). 10) The ace lead, from an A-J or A-Q tenace suit.

'N Note that there are nine better leads than an ace froma tenace suit at a trump declaration and this lead should never be made with but one exception and this exception will now be noted. If you hold four ot more trumps and -your tenace suit headed by an ace is your long plain suit, you may lead out the ace.

In 1730, or about that time, among the many Ulster Scotch people coming to this country from Protestant Ireland were seven brothers, sons of James and Margaret (Wylie) Irwin of Ireland. These sons were Alexander, George, David, William, Robert, James and Samuel. All settled Pennsylvania except William, who, going first to Virginia for a brief time, soon found his way to Pennsylvania and settled near Carlisle, where he died prior to Feb. 15, 1763, on which date his will, dated May 5, 1784, was proved, and is recorded in Bonk Page 250k will tecords. William married Eleanor who survivedhim, her will being dated November 1787.

They were the parents of tweive children, ten mentioned in William's will, the others probably dying young. These children were John, William, James, Samuel. Robert, Alexander, Frances, Mary, Elizabeth Ann and Sarah. Robert, one of the above sons, went to North Carolina and located at Charlotte. He became active in affairs of state and was one of the signers of the famous "Mecklenburg Declaration." North Carolina history records many terms of service rendered by him, served in the revolution and attained the rank of general.
