TUSITALA POR 1928 - Feazfzzfet BRIDGE AS IT SHOULD BE PLAYED I. Pick up your cards as dealt. You will be ready to bid ahead of the others. II. If your hand is rotten, mention it. It will guide your partner in bids and plays. III. If your partner bids first, donlt hesitate to raise, he'll play, not you. IV. Never hurry. Try several cards on a trick before you finally decide. V. Don,t show lack of interest when you are dummy. Help out your partner with suggestions. VI. When you are dummy walk around, look at the other players' cards, and tell them how many tricks they can make if they play right. VII. Feel free to criticize your partner. He will do better as a result. VIII. Always trump your partner's tricks. Never take a chance. IX. When holding a rotten hand expose it in horror and demand a new deal. X. Eat caramelsg they will keep the cards from skidding. XI. As dummy, look into adversary,s cards-and say, All tricks are good . Your partner will then know that what was a doubtful finesse will work.

L TUSITALA HEROES? ADELAIDE SALOMON We all think that Lindbergh had courage, And Columbus was brave on the seas, That Sir Francis Drake was a hero, And that Grant commanded with ease. For bravery Peary was noted, He discovered the chilly North Pole, Abe Lincoln was known for his honor, For his justness and kindness untold. Of course all these men were great heroes, They had valor and courage galore, But one man surpasses these others, The window cleaner on the top floor! CLEMENTINE HARRIET FREEMAN Your eyes are like the dew-drops, The corn flowers in the lane, The heavens in the morning, The flowers after rain. Your lips are sweet and loving Your hair like gold new spun, Your teeth are sparkling diamonds, Lying glistening in the sun. When I embrace your softness, And gaze in your eyes divine, H I'm proud to know that you're my dog, My darling Clementine. LINES TO A DENTIST LILLIAN GRUBER Oh, dentist, you heartless extractor, Purveyor of pains none too few, Professor courageous of torture of ages, I hate you, I hate you, I do. I've learned to abhor and despise you From earliest days of my youth, You used on a molar, Your painless controller, But, goodness! You pulled the wrong tooth. FOR If-728 L Page Seven-ty
