One face looks east, the other west backward and forward. Appro priately, time has honored the custom of making the first day of January the moment for taking stock of the past and seeking to glimpse the future. At this time, perhaps, most of us pre fer to do more forecasting than review ing. We prefer to dismiss 1931 with out a sigh of repret. We are eager for the adventure of the new year, which is as it should be. But that does not call for a diatribe again't the misfortunes of 1931. It has, perhaps, not been so unfortunate as we may think as we look at it from this close vantage point To be sure, on the purely material side, we may not have gotten far. But the very mis fortunes in things material contributed to a firmer understanding of the human element, a greater humanity of man for man. Such a year could not be counted as entirely lost On the material side, of course, it was a disappointing year. We had ex pected better of it We had been told that 1930 was the lesson year, when we were to pay- for our misdoings in the mad 'twenties. Well, possibly the lesson was prolonged another year because of the magnitude of those misdoings? And 1931 is gone. Nineteen thirty-two is here. It is year for those with courage, and de termination, and strength and vision. Crystal gazing can not tell us exactly what it holds, but we enter hopefully. We're proud of those Klamath cows that knocked down the state records. They may not get the publicity, but they accomplish more than Tusko, the elephant, who only knocks down his shelter. Nineteen thirty-two is an election year. There promises to be plenty of things of interest to voters, nationally and locally. Wait for the fireworks. We Look Hopefully At Coming Year BECAUSE, economically, our affairs are so bound up with those of our neighbors, using the term in its broad sense, we cannot expect for happy and prosperous new year for our own community without expecting improve ment in the general situation. When good times come to the country, they come to us, because we find greater de mand for what we have to sell the country from out of our great mills, our wide grazing lands, and our fertile agricultural areas. That is the most essential factor in any forecast for the new year. . There are, locally, certain prospects for the year which deserve attention, and which provide bright spots in the outlook. That it will be a great tourist year seems certain. The Olympic games at Los Angeles, the national American Legion convention at Portland, and series of other important national meet ings, at coast points, promise to attract unprecedented numbers to the coast. Klamath Falls, fortunately located both as to rail and highway travel, and with Crater Lake and other attractions near at hand to hold the traveler, shoald benefit tremendously. A high spot on the year's calendar of events for Klamath Falls is the Great Northern's Empire Builder cele bration, scheduled in May. Here is an event which should bring nationwide attention to Klamath Falls, and should, at the time, bring hundreds of visitors to the city. We look hopefully on the agriculture and lumbering situations as of funda mental importance to the prosperity of the empire and the community. In crease of the moisture supply, as fore cast by the heavy snows of the past few weeks, adds a brightening touch to the outlook of the farmer and the sheep and cattle man. There are frequent re ports of indicated improvement in lum bering. Certainly general economic betterment as predicted quite widely, should be locally beneficial to both in dustries. So much, ramblingly, for the coming year, as it looks today. Unafraid, Klamath Falls enters with face turned ahead. JERRY-and-JOAN By Cleo LncAJ hla trainer. . . .

Baya ba'a getting married neat week." CHAPTER XVII Dick waa atunned. H had never dreamed of anything like thla happening. By God! ahe couldn't do It to him. H would n't let her. He would fight, he would tell her that If she didn't marry him he would kill himself. He would kill himself, he couldn't go on living if he couldn't hav Joan. The disgrace ot It au. Why, everyone knew they wer going to marry aom day. That waa It eome day. That waa wher he had lott out. Now If he had Just married her before they had gone to that damned party, or If they hadn't gone to the party at all . . . That waa all bi fault. Ho had thrown her right at this man. "I hope we'll always go on being pals." ahe said. "Pals!" Then those thlnga that people wrote about and aaag In The Little Show went through bla mind. He had een that ahow with Joan. He hadn't thought then that aomeone would turn him down and aay "Can't w be friends?" All that stuff he was thinking about killing himself ... he was glad he didn't say it, after he had got away and was thinking it all over. He was glnd that he had aald what he did Bay. Simply, "I'll always want you, Joan." Joan wished after he had gone that he had said something wild and melodramatic. It wouldn't have hurt so badly. What he had aid made her pillow wet with hot tears. It was her last tri bute to something that waa dead. e The trip down to New Tork on the Century was to Jerry Corbett a perfect blank. He had met up with an advance man and a couple of big shots in the the atrical business about an hour before they left Chicago and they had cleaned up between them four pints of badly cut Bourbon. He did have vague recollection of climbing some steps that resem bled those of a train. Other than tfoc he knew nothing until they were approaching New York. "Better anyway," he told the fellowa when they were laughing at him. "I never 1 like to ride on trains." He wished he didn't feel quite ao rotten. That was one big draw back to getting awfully drunk. It made you feel ao rotten, aa it you would like to jump out of th window under the wheels of the train or pull a gun on your aelf. Jerry remembered that he had thought ao many times of pulling a gun when regaining consciousness. Then the desire always faded somehow after a bromo or another drink. "Crobett," the advance mnn aid to him, "how do you do ltT Get so drunk, I mean. You pass out like sinking ahtp. You do It ao damned suddenly. One min nt you'r talking sanely enough, the next minute you'r bit th floor.' Jerry knew why that waa. Bnt he didn't want to take th trou ble to explain. It was became he overdrank. That Is, he didn't feel any of his drinka nntll a cer tain one. and that on always put him under. He got np from th floor of th compartment wearily. He felt like on old man. an old man with rheumatism In every bone. "Yon guys might hav put me In a berth, you know," be grum bled. "YeahT Say, w did yon a big favor by undressing yon and hanging your clothes np BO yon could get off the train looking u well-dressed critic should look." Jerry picked up a cigarette from the tables wher th fel low were playing poker. "Hurry up and get dressed," the advance man said. "We're pulling into the big town and the delegation will be there to meet us, you know." Jerry pulled his suit from th hanger and atarted to put It on. Then he caromed down the aisle to the bathroom. They did pull Into the city shortly but there waa no delega tion to meet them. Only the usual noise and racket of a big-town depot. They got Into a cab and were piloted to the Shelton. which was to be the headquarters for the conclave. Once inside their suite, liquor was indefinitely be ing drawn from Bultcases, pockets, and golf baga, and the bellhop was padding softly across the green ' carpet laden with huge bowls of cracked ice, tall green sweating bottle of fizzing ginger ale, limes, lemons, and silver cocktail shaker. When things wer put that way to yon there was nothing to do but drink. Presently the phone was Jingling and still more presently there wer girl In the room. Not bad girls, but very good girls, writers on the New York papers, Jerry was glad to aee them and they were glad to see Jerry. He knew they must be glad to see him be cause they all kissed him. One ot them waa a friend of Marian Bailey's. "She has been asking me If you were coming, Jerry. She wants to see you." Jerry thought he would like verjr auuch to se Marian Bailey, baa be was more Interested at the moment in getting drink of liquor. Somebody said: "Of all the gluttons for the weil-known chastisement! This guy waa 'out' all the way to New York and her he la fighting for a drink." Jerry said, "And not much gln- ger aie eitner mere, Doy. ' "The editors have finished checking up the year's guesses on the productions, Jerry," one of the girls said, "and I understand, although It hasn't been an nounced publicly, that yon war correct on all of them." "Yeah " Jerry aald. He didn't want to act as If It meant any thing to bim. bnt It would be swell publicity for him with Joan. He didn t have money, he would have to make her proud of him for something. "Yeah." the girl went on. "Say, how about giving the rest ot them a chance, now that you r wed ding a flock of dough? Fade, drop out of th picture, will you?" She waa laughing, bnt It irked Jerry. Damn this continual al lusion to hia marrying a rich girl. He hated it. "Her dough doesn't mean any thing to me.'' Jerry felt that he wa cheapening Joan to discuss her In this manner. "What do yon think ahe's doing, aigning ft flock of rubles over to me? No, no, baby, they only do that In burlesquea." "Well, you know bow It Is." Jerry wished she would shut up. Damn It anyway. Concern ing beraelf with hi affaire. He walked away to the window.

CO-OPERATION The fastest horse In the world never wins race without jockey to guide him. . . . The world's ring champion wins his belt by respecting th ml of Contract Bridge ARTICLE X When th four banda ar bal anced In inch a manner that both aides ar able to bid. two very Important situations are apt to develop. Yon may reach th point wher yon feel that your oooonenta hav overbid ana yon should double, and yon then have to balance your galna by doubling against your gains by keening on with your own nia. We discussed this in artlcl No. t. Th other Important point that you mar reach I found when you feel that the opponents ar like ly to make their bid. but that yon cannot rebld again without being aet. Your procedure, now, la to estimate the value to the op ponent ot making bid, and to then rebid just enough ao that your penalty for being set will be less than, or just equal to , this amount. Obviously, with this setup. your opponents ar sure to come out on top no matter what you do. Your only desire Is to re duce their winnings to a minimum. This art of overbidding Is the most delicate thing In Contract, for It reqnlrea not only definite knowledge of your own trick talc ing ability, but an equal know ledge of the ability of Die oppon ents to make the amount they have bid. For nothing is more humiliating than to deliberately overbid and suffer a loss, only to discover that the opponenta would have gone down them selves If left In their own bid. The value to your opponents of making any bid must not be tak en simply as the amount they will write down for their two tricks, or three, or four. We have, In addition, what aomeone haa very aptly railed the Invisi ble score, meaning thereby the start which any acor makes towards the rubber premium. This equity In th rubber premi um Is just as valuable and just as definite aa though It were actually put down on the score pad. For Instance, if one aide has scored ft gam and 90 points on th next, they may have a vlsable score ot aa little 195, yet the real value of thla slice out of the rubber Is at least (00 points. To calculate the real worth of any score la an intricate mathe matical proposition which has been worked out by number ot our authorities with approxi mately the same results. They have discovered that the acquir ing of a partial score Is worth from 100 to 200 points depend ing on Its size, that first gam la worth about 400 points, and the rubber game about 600 points. These figures are total, nd Include both the actual amounts marked down and th In- vlsable part which la not marked. With thla knowledge It be come easy to compile schedule of justifiable overbidding for all situations. In doing thla. we will aasum that our opponents ar expert enough to "double" na every time we overbid. So. If we are vulnerable and overbid two tricks, we will count on going down (00 points. Then, to keep th opponent from making ft partial acor of 0 to 35, yon may overbid on trick If not vulnerable, and no tricks at all If vulnerable. To are a 40 to 90 acor. overbid X trick not vulnerable, or 1 trick vulnerable. To aave the first gam, overbid 1 trlcka not vulnerable, or 1 trick vulnerable. And to aav th rubber game, overbid 4 trick not vulnerable. or 1 trlcka vulnerable. If you value your hands ac curately, yon will consistently win by following thla achedul. But never overbid a greater amount than thla. for the penaltlea count np mighty fast, and, alto b very certain that th opponents can make their bid. a otherwise yon ar taking your loaa when ther Is no need ot It. One common, but Incorrect, way of thinking muat b pointed out. Many player feel that If they incur these penalties one or twice, and then eventually lose the rubber, that they have simply taken their loese In rain. Nothing I further from th truth. Let na auppoa that they over bid la thla manner a half dosen bands In a raw, taking loaae of from 100 to (00 point each time, and that th opponenta fin ally win th rubber and It will be a very large one. of course. But, luat conalder what the acor would hav been if they had aat meekly back and let the opponenta play all six of those hands at their own bids. These opponenta might hav won three rubbers, and would certainly hav won at leaat two, with ft total score much greater than they could possibly mak against In' telllgent overbidding by th oth er lde. And, alio, ther are two very, very important factor In favor ot th overbidden. Our sche dule above la baaed on the ex pectation of being doubled each time by the opponents. As a matter of fact, the most expert of opponenta will not double very time they en aet yon, and on th hands wber they do not do ao you will pick np a very substantial net gain because ot th much smaller "aet." Yon also run Into th situation every so often wher th opponents. Instead of doubling, will be forced Into bid of jut on mor trick than they can auueese out, and In this situation you actually pull out a bonus for your sine Instead of the aura lose that teemed Inevitable. So. don't be afraid of being aet. Kxperta ar penalised mor often than novices, though they manage to keep their penaltlea down to a point wher they are not real loaae. but ar actually net galna.
