Happiness Not Found in Idleness BY MARTHA LEE We humans have the mpst frightful habit of going off on the wildest goose chases imaginable. We always are dashing off some place, looking for happiness, peace of mind, contentment, thrills, fun, all those illusive things that make life so much more interesting and worthwhile. Civilized and intelligent as we are supposed to be we do chase down the wildest rumors as to where and how these qualities may be found and captured for at least a little while. The number of humans trying to run down money confuse some of us. We begin to think money must be the answer to the whole thing; that when they have gotten money all the rest follows like night and day. And there is a heart-breaking number of us who spend our entire lives trying to solve the problem that way. Compensation Found A handful are born with the knowledge that peace of mind, happiness, contentment and all the other illusive things that make life better and more worthwhile are found in a very simple way. The solution is to keep busy all our walking hours doing things for others. Happiness and all happiness’ playmates are funny little fellows. They bring us most when we are doing things for other people besides ourselves. The woman who is giving all her patience, time, energy and strength to rearing a family has plenty of hard times and worries enough to bow the shoulders of ten women, but she has so many compensations for her trouble. She has so many moments of unexpected pleasure and happiness. Encouragement Needed

You always can tell by the look In a person’s eye whether or not they have learned this homely little truth about happiness. A selfish, selfcentered persons always looks with a searching eye upon everything and every one. Looking for happiness always has been an excuse for foreign travel to us. Somehow we seem never to realize that it might be found just by stretching out our hands to help someone. Maybe it's just someone next door or around the corner. Maybe it's just some little child who needs a kind word or a young boy or girl who needs a little boost. Or a man or woman who needs encouragement. Happiness Disrupted Take an inventory of all your friends and acquaintances. Try to choose, out of the whole group, the man or woman who is happiest. In variably it will be the man or woman who is busiest doing constructive work; whose mind is filled with other people’s problems; whose day is occupied for the ultimate interest of others. An idle wife is a man’s worst investment. She can stir ‘up more trouble, make more expense, disrupt more happiness than a failure and bankruptcy every year. Too many men have as their ideal a heaven in which they will be able to hire someone to db all the work for their wives. They have as their goal a position with an income which will allow their wives to sit back, take it easy and be as idle as they choose. The man who plans that is planning his own doom. An idle woman. because she doesn’t know what

HOW to PLAY BACKGAMMON

EDITOR'S VOTE—The blocklnr (ima li described In the tollowlnr article, the tenth In a aerlea on "Today's Backrammon” written for The Times and VEA Scrrlce br Elizabeth Clark Borden. She is the author of "The New Backramroon” and ro-antbor of "Contract Bridge for 1930” and "Contract Bridge for 1931.” BY ELIZABETH CLARK BOYDEN Written for VEA Service PROBABLY the most frequent policy chosen in playing backgammon is the blocking game. This is much more interesting than the running game, as it involves offensive as well as defensive tactics. By the blocking game we mean bunching a player’s men together by blocking consecutive points so that the opponent will be unable to pass these men and therefore will be unable to get his men home. The blocking game is the only game that often succeeds in gammoning the opponent. The satisfactory points to block are the points close together on each side of the player’s bar. It is for the purpose of the blocking game that the initial moves were recommended which left a blot exposed on point 5. When able to form such a blockade and at the same time get the two men out of the opponent's inner table, .there is an excellent chance for a gammon. It seldom is wise to take up many of the opponent's blots while forming this blockade, as more than three of the opponent's men in the player’s inner table interfere with the blockade and make it difficult for the player to get his own men into his table and borne off in time for the gammon. It is when playing a blocking game that a player myst be extremely careful in bearing his men from the home table when the opponent still has men in that table. It is better to move up than to leave an odd man on point 6.

808 THE defense against the blocking game is the most interesting, when well played, of any game of backgammon. It is called the Back Game. When the opponent has had two or more good throws and the player’s throws have been poor a back game should be played. This must be started early, before the player has advanced his men too far toward his inner table. When playing a back game the two men in the opponent’s inner table should be left where they are. The other men about the board should be left where they are. The other men about the board should be deliberately spread, leaving blots wherever possible, hoping the opponent will be obliged to take them up. If the player can succeed in getting enough of his men sent back so that he can cover point 1 and 2 in the opponent’s home table, these else to do with her time, usually ends up doing something that makes everybody wish she had been kept busy with something, even the most manual labor. When a woman finds herself without her customary work, it would be wise for her to take up some constructive outside work. And thank the Lord for busy hours.

men will delay the opponent in getting his men into the home table and make it almost impossible to do so without leaving a blot. 808 IN the meantime the player should start making points in his own home table, at the same time keeping men spread around the table so that when he is about to take up one of the opponent’s men, that man not only will find it difficult to enter the player’s home table but, having done so, will jind it difficult to get this man back again to his own home table without being constantly hit and sent back. Thus, in delaying his progress lies the player’s only hope of winning. The back game is the most difficult of all, and never should be attempted by a beginner. A fourth type of game is called the “shut out.” It is attempted when a player is able to block three or more points in his inner table. If able to hit an opponent’s blot and the opponent does not immediately get the right throws to enter, the player sometimes can hurry enough men around the table to block all six points in his home table. The opponent then is completely shut out and can not enter until the player gets all his men into the home table and enough thrown off or moved up to free a point.
