But there is this to be Haiti for Mr. Wright: Discriimitatiiif?
critics limy tremble for the literary future of the American peo
ple, as long us the former pus-tor holds the best-seller record, but
they need not tremble for our moral future which, after all, is
perhaps more important.
Harold Bell Wright may be erude ns an artist, and deficient
in talent, but he is neither crude nor deficient when ethics arc
concerned. People who know declare he is a very good man, and
he certainly writes very "good" books.
Instead of being depressed over the Wright popularity, there
fore, wc feel there is every reason, from a social standpoint, to be
very much encouraged.
For as long as the American people ns a whole choose books
like the "Recreation of Brian Ken" and "When a Man's a Man'
ns food for their dreams and aspirations, there need be no worry
lor our essential wholesomeness or fear of our immediate decadence.
A nation that chooses Mr. Wright to nurse the mental pabu
lum may not be a nation of artistic discrimination, but it must
be a nation sound in the essentials of clean lying and moral aspira
tions, which, after all, is and has been the determining factor in
the destiny of every nation. j

and said he'd soil it for a song. For evil luek had dogged his

several types of congenital Idiocy and

the cause or causes of such defects.

of Idiocy may occur In any family and
the causes of arrested mental develop
ment, as I have described them In
preceding talks, do not apply at all to
congenital Idiocy. Any man's child
may be a born fool or a future presi
dent that Is purely chance. Science
nsalgns the explanation or cause for
nvrested mental development, but
gives little or no light on these fortu
nately rare cases of idiocy at birth or
congenital amentia (lack of mind.)
The following types of congenital
amentia or Idiocy are recognized:
Hydrocehrulus ("water on "the
brain"). In which the skull Is greatly
enlarged and the forehead high and
prominent, with an excess of cerebro
spinal fluid In the ventricles or inter
nal spaces of the bruin nnd often be
tween tho membranes covering the
brnln.
Microccphalus, In which the skull Is
much diminished in size, but more
characteristic than the smalt size o
the head is the shape of It, a narrow
dome with forehead and back part of
head slanting , and deficient. Micro
cephalic amenta are perhaps the least
troublesome of all Idiots, generally
happy, well behaved and often droll
and vivacious,
Mongolism, so called from the
idiot's facial resemblance to that of
the Mongol, tho face boing flat, the
eyes slanting, the lid opening narrow
ami usually the edges of the lids turn

Inr the back of the head flat, the voice
guttural. Mongolian idiots often
have "double joints" that Is the
joints arc mora mobile than In normal
persons, are generally mouth breath

For these various cause of concenl-

there Is no special treatment other
than tho proper care of any mental

ARTICLE No. 6
It has often been pointed out in these
aiticlea that one of the best way, to
learn auction is to studjr examples of
"What not to do," either in the bidding
or play. The other night the writer was
playing at one of the well-known New
York card autre, supposedly witn men
grade players, and yet observed ,ome
very fine examples of "What not to
do. For example:
Hearts K, 7, 6
Clubs K, J, 9, S, 4 .: Y
Diamonds K, 10t 8, 6, 5 : B
Spades none ) . : Z .
No score, first game. Z dealt and bid
one no trump', A passed, Y bid two
spades and B and Z passed. Here's
whr 3 A started to give a fine exhibition
of '.'What not to do.'!. He didn't stop to
figure that his hand was wort h probably
three tricks if. spades were trumps, so
that it his partner could take only one
trick, they would save the game. He
gaily bid three clubs which Y doubled.
B and Z passed and A now decided to
try three diamonds. This also was
doubled and the contract was set for
400 points. Study this hand, the bidding
' and the score, and learn "what not to
do" under similar circumstances.
'Here's another hand where a fairly
good player fell down:

similar problem a few hands later. He
also fell down on this hand so let's tee

lead the king oldiamondsandfollow with

must win. Whatever A now leads YZ
must win two trump tricks. If A leads
a diamond or a spade Z trumps and
leads the eight of hearts. His queen of
clubs must now make. If A should lead
a trumjvZ must still win two trump
tricks. Played in this way, YZ must
win five of the eight tricks against anv
defense. It should be noted that the
lead of the king of diamonds by Z at
trick one and the lead of the deuce of
diamonds at trick two is a loser. A
should lead the nine of hearts which Y
must win. The lead by Y of a heart or a
spade is a loser. Played in this way, YZ
must lose (our tricks. It should also be
noted that Z may first play the king of
diamonds and then lead the four of
hearts and let Y lead the deuce of
spades. When he trumps' the spade Z
snould thcn lead the deuce of diamonds,
obtaining the same result as in the cor

COME, IlEST IX 'THIS BOSOM
Come, rest In this 'bosom, my own
stricken deer.
Though the herd have fled from thee,
tny home Is still here;
Hero still Is the smile that no cloud J
can o'er'cast,
And a heart and a hand all thy own
,' to the last.
Oh, what was love made tor, If 'tis
. not the same -Through
Jny nnd through torment,
through glory-and shame?
I know not, I ask not, If guilt's In
that heart,
I but know that 1 love thee, whatever
thou art.
Thou hast called mo thy nngcl In
momenta of bliss. t ,
And thy angol I'll be 'mid tho horrors
of this.
Through the furnace, unshrinking.
thy steps to pursue.
And shield thee, nnd save thee or
perish icre. too!
