I TALKFEST Uncle Sam has tried American Imperialism, and it didn't work The other Americans wouldn't be bossed, and they suspected us even when we wanted to help. Uncle has also tried Pan-Ameri canlsm, which was more generous ly meant, and it didn't work either. The cool, white, empty Pan- American Building built by Car- Regie at Washington, as headquarters for one great big happy family of American, stands as a monument to a beautiful dream. About all that ever came from that movement was a patter of genteel diplomatic phrases, a little more interchange of musical Spanish and harsh English. Our business penetrated Central and South America pretty well, but might have done better if there had been a firmer understanding.

Now Uncle tries With our marines withdrawn from Central America, with the right to intervene in Cuba abandoned, with careful abstention from aggressive acts' or words throughout the hemisphere, with respectful treatment of the smallest and weakest of Latin-American countries, we get along better. So time and circumstances are favorable for that gathering- in Buenos Aires. It may be a turning point in history. No formal alliance, of course, is contemplated on either side: yet it may be that from now on.

Lool' instance: A news item from Alberta, Canada, tells of mysterious music coming "out of a clear sky" that baffled a group of workmen near a village 40 miles from Edmonton.

It sounded like a radio program broadcast from Edmonton, but there were no receiving sets, they were sore, within five miles. They s-uspected that there might be an automobile somewhere in the vicinity with a radio receiver, but searched for miles and found none. A farm woman, a mile from where they heard the music, also said she had heard it. Here's a parallel to that yarn. An Ohio man who was cruising in Georgian Bay last summer tells of hoaring one evening a big orchestra program of Wagnerian music coming clear and strong, apparently from a wild mountainside nearby.

He 'had just explored that mountain and knew there was no human habitation, no road, and in all probability no human being, anywhere in the neighborhood. There was no wind, either. He finally decided that it must have come through a mountain gap from a yacht anchored in a bay more than a. mile distant.

The difference is that few' persons had a chance to ride in Louts XrV's coaches, but many are trailer-traveling the highways and byways of the TJ. S. A. today. Louis' coaches had a lot of gilt and satin and possibly fancy leather and other adornments and comforts, but they didn't travel on inflated rubber tires.

They didn't contain electric lights, refrigerators, electric cooking equipment, screened windows, and all the rest. They rolled over cobblestones or dirt roads instead of smooth wide pavements. These things help to explain why the trailers, modest or luxurious, do not "provoke" a revolution. They are the result of peaceful revolutions in engineering, transportation and democracy. seems to please motorists and merchants botli'aud that's a near- miracle.

Prevention of the disease depends partly, probably mostly, on keeping up the standard of living which Americans have attained. If we had the famines and crop failures that were 1 rfrequent other years, tuberculosis would undoubtedly be on the increase instead of on the decrease, as it now is. But not only have our methods of agriculture, improved; We still have occasional crop- failures in some countries.

The effects; of these are minimized by our superior methods of modern transportation of foods. The next most important item in the prevention of tuberculosis is the segregation of the" open case. Childhood tuberculosis is sometimes traceable to infected milk from cows which have bovine tuberculosis. But. this.

These sources are the people who have open tuberculosis; that is to say, tuberculosis of the lungs from which tubercle bacilli are coughed up or spit up or breathed out. Germ Causes Disease The cause of tuberculosis, the tubercle bacillus, is a germ which lives very easily under what would be adverse conditions for germs.

It can live in street dust, or inside houses on hangings and upholstery. In extremes of heat and cold. It will stay alive thus in a sort of resting state without need for nourishment for many years. The great campaign against spitting in public places was directed against the open carrier of tuberculosis. Far more frequent than that is the method of transmission from an open case by direct Inoculation of infants and children by coming in close contact with them, and breathing or coughing- nose and mouth secretions toward them.

This open case may be in a perfectly innocent and unsuspecting person. Tuberculosis is so insidious and the body can so successfully build up resistance against it, that people may go all through life entirely unaware of the fact that they have and that they have tubercle bacilli in the sputum. They put their troubles down to chronic- bronchitis or catarrh, or something of that kind.

A LUCKS MISUNDERSTANDING HALF-A-DOZEN a ago, many players were accustomed to bid first tlie lower of the two suits of equal length, 'and to show first the shorter of two suits of unequal length. There was a teacher's reason for this procedure. One of our most famous teachers was most insistent on this point. The reason was a natural one with timid and inexperienced players. They were willing- enough to Did 4-card suits, provided they did not have to go above one.

They would readily bid two on suits of more than four cards. It was, however, almost impossible to induce them to make an opening bid of one on their longer suit, then- bid two on their shorter suit. For various reasons almost air bidders now show their longer suit first, afterwards showing their shorter suit. Custom, rather than any decided advantage in the method to be employed, governs procedure at any given period. At present it so rare to find a player first bidding his shorter suit, that without previous explanation, one naturally assumes he bids his longer suit.

In one of the mixed pair duplicate games at the Knickerbocker Whist club, a lady sitting South forgot that her partner always bid his short suit Qnt, and that he expected her to do likewise. As a result of this mixup, a unique score was obtained. At the table in question, as well as at other tables, South made an 10 8 7 4 3 10 8 5 4 8 7 5 A 10 9 7 2 A 8 partner overcalled with Then South ventured was done opening bid of 1-Heart, which her 2-Clubs. to bid 2-Spades, as was done at the majority of the remaining, tables. At this particular table North at once read at least one more spade than hearts, so he bid 3-Spades, expecting partner to hold not fewer than five spades.

Just as South was to bid, suddenly she remembered her partner's preference for short suits to be bid first. Her lone club and her A-K of diamonds decided her to bid 4-Spades which she did, ending the auction at a call reached at no other table. I do not know just how play went, but South made one trick over her contract, giving her an unquestioned top score on the hand. It just happened that the hand always could make one trick more at spades than at hearts, with normal play all around. Those who played game at hearts reported that perfect defense held the declarer down to a loss of four tricks.

To Alix, it was now impossible.

At best, it had seemed like something else in this weird dream she was living, living without feeling. It was something that was going to happen soon yet there was no soon. Time was timeless and as vague as the void in which she lived. She said she would marry him, become Mrs. Kimball Preston.

Perhaps if she became Mrs. Kimball Preston, she wouldn't ever be the girl that Alix Carey was. That was why she said siie would. She said it the way she felt, as though her voice and some strange new mind were occupying her body. A new mind and voice that had nothing to do with her old one or her heart.

Here Is Kim. I'm giving him back to you." Because Kim wasn't a book or a flower. Kim a man who knew hia own mind. Alix thought he did. Helen Preston didn't agree with her.

Kim's mother had never met Alix; she'd been during- the winter in and Europe spring. She'd heard enough of the girl from Kim and Kathleen, believed her to be the mutual friend of both. Then Kim had greeted her at the boat saying casually, "Mother, I want you to ask Alix Carey to dinner as soon as you can." And she had answered, "Why?" "Because I'm going to marry her and I think you two: ought to meet." She-said she would and sent for Kathleen- Helen Preston was only 18 years older than her son. She was not the Whistler type of mother. She was only 44 and looked 35.

Her point of view was as modern as her clothes. She was Kathleen's first cousin. Kathleen found her In her dim drawing room, issuing orders A a household staff, answering the telephone, opening, reading and throwing away the accumulated post. "Why the hurried call to me, Cousin Helen? It looks as though you had plenty to do without around today." "Umm," Helen said and gave Kathleen a glance that saw more than you'd think in one so short. "How was Paris?" "Lovely.

There are no Americans there now. But Venice, my dear! After waiting all my life to see Venice, the only time I could stand it was in the moonlight." "I may go over this summer," Kathleen said slowly. Helen Preston wheeled around in her chair, "That will be all, Katie. You can g-o now and you. Hans." She dismissed her servants.

She eft her desk and went over to sit on the divan with Kathleen. "Tell me about it," Kathleen said. "Do you take sugar, Kathleen?" Helen poured fragrant tea while she chattered. "It was very exciting. I saw King Edward and Barbara Hutton.

She's lovely! They weren't together, of course. bought two wretched frocks in Paris and went on a mad cruise to Dalmatia. Kathleen, what's this icnsense about Kim marrying this Alix Carey person?" Her question came so unexpectedly Kathleen was not prepared for it. Her cup rattled against its china saucer held by a hand that shook unaccountably. "It isn't nonsense, Cousin Helen," she said quietly.

"It Is to me," Helen answered shortly. "In the first place, she isn't an Alix Carey 'person'. She's a gentlewoman and a friend of mine." "Really?" her cousin asked with if ted "Why should you doubt it?" Helen drained her cup and said, 'Simply that I didn't believe, even today, that very good friends appropriated each other's men." "She didn't, after all. It just one of those things. Apparently they fell in which isn't so unusual.

And didn't: take him away from me." "Oh, yes, she did, my dear Kathleen, I've known you since you were a baby. I know you as well as my own because you are a woman.

"I didn't ask you to come here to weep on my shoulder or- for "any reason of idle curiosity, asked you here because I want to protect Kim's happiness. I happen think you are the one to it."
