Women Can Face Danger With Poise

Morro Castle Tragedy Is Just Another Proof of Point. BV HELEN WELSHIMER .NF.A *rrle Sllf Writer MEN were the inevitable heroes of the legendary themes of ancient story-tellers. There were Achillea and Ulysses. Paris and Aeneas. Women, when they rated a paragraph in the story, were depicted as gentle creatures who could not brave dangers—fragile victims

who could not take it on the chm. When Cleopatra stung herself with an asp on the day that Antony got homesick for the Roman ladies, the bards decided that she was worth a lot of copy. But not beca’ise she faced danger. Because she wouldn't!

Miss Welahlmer

Dido, you 11 remember, who burned up literally on a funeral pvre when Aeneas got his Railing orders, also provided them with a gentle, weak heroine. Fortunately, the repeated resourcefulness and bravery of women of reality have helped to destroy the tremulous pictures of the old narratives. Novelists and poets of today have material for new sagas, for women have repeatedly demonstrated their capacity for meeting danger bravely. Co-operate With Chivalry To protect woman and children from danger has always brwi one of the chivalrous duties allot.ed to men No woman would have It otherwise. But the responsive cooperation of women may do much to assist or defeat the success of the proffered aid. Every burning ship silhouette that Tver illuminated maritime skies and every dark ship that has slipped down the ocean, with holes where the water poured in. have been the fonts for stones of the resourcefulness of women. They haven t deserted. Inevitably, a woman postpones safety for herself until she knows what arrangements are being made for her husband, her father, her brother. There are new tales today, being added to ihe other sea narratives. of women who did not take the meager lifeboat aid that was proffered, but preferred to jump with their husbands. Ixiyalty is a wonderful thing. Two persons who take a chance together are never lost, whether or not they reach the shore. Women Born to Danger One of the passengers of the Morro Castle, describing on the witness stand, how she and her husband swam to shore, added that they made their w’av as best they could, wishing that they had a cup of coffee. No complaining. No moaning. Never a thought of fainting. Just a dash of humor on a frightening sea. Women, real women, are like that. They face danger calmly. They are more controlled than men, sometimes. when there is a grave physical issue to face. Maybe the quietude comes because they are the mothers of the race. They must face Oethsemane as a natural event. Because of this inherent understanding, women may be prepared. It isn't strange, after all. this sudden fright that sometimes overwhelms a weak, unmanly man and makes him. though a member of a crew, forget his seamanship, while he becomes a coward. Danger, to such a man. is probably anew experience. He isn't prepared to face it. The chances are that his wife, though her station is the same as his, would have done better under the circumstances. Weakness Unforgivable Pioneer women trekked through the wilderness with their men. They sat calmly, eyes on the lire from which the smoke of tomorrow’s homes curled, while wild things prowled near. Edilh Cavell faced the firing squad or an enemy nation proudly. She pulled the bandage from her eyes and looked into the guns with no outward manifestation of fear. Chivalry is a masculine trait. Always we would have it so. Women want protectors. But women know, if they are worthy of their name, that they must co-operate. They can not be cowardly! Real women meet danger calmly and quietly Physical strength has nothing to do with their response to • physical elements that have gone on rampage. But a robust growth, both spiritually and emotionally, is of the utmost importance. There is no forgiveness ever, on the part of man or woman, for weakness in mental and moral stamina.

Solution to Previous Contract Problem BY W. E. M’KENNEY Secretary. Amrriran Bridie iearue IHAD the pleasure of visiting the national air races held recently in Cleveland, and after the races I found myself comparing airplane! and, auto racing with contract and auction bridge. Auction bridge and auto racing j are about the same, just a long; steady grind, but as I sat there and; watched those young aviators take a thousand-foot dive out of the; clouds. I thought of the many partnerships at contract who take a nose dive for 2.000 or 3,000 points on a misbid hand. I am sure you can recall many of your partners doing a loop-the-loop in the bidding. but It is the bidding feature that has put the interest in contract. Just because you hold high cards, do not think that you can go on aj rampage of bidding without listening to your partner. He is like a I part of your business organization I in the contracting. Listen to his advice and heed his warnings. If you do not, your whole structure may crash. n a u I LIKE today’s hand because it departs from book theories. Although South does not have three primary tricks, he is justified in opening the bidding with one heart. I However, if he held a doubleton in spades and diamonds, he should pass originally. Over the one heart bid, West cor*96 5 2 V 10 9 5 S 4J 9 4 * Q 4 AQI — I *KIO4S *KSS w N r VQ 4KQ 8 3 w , fc 4AIO 7 6 *AIO 9 5 - , 2 . i. i * 4 0* *A J 8 VAJ 7 4 2 4 5 *KJ S 2 Duplicate—All vul.

A Woman’s Viewpoint BV MRS U ALTER I of the most Interesting experiments I’ve ever watched is the truly valiant effort of the men to establish a Mae West cult. The masculine chorus, expressed in our more sophisticated and supposedly intellectual magazines, has been one of unstinted praise for that dauntless advocate of sexunashamed and unadorned. Mil-

lions of words have been spilled to prove that a feminine vogue was on the way, and that Miss West was its prophet. The lady has enlisted her champions from the ranks of the literati and the most blatant of press agents. One and all they've gone to bat for her. They have extolled.

analyzed, explained her, while above the chant of the bassos the wisecracks of the tomboy of stage and screen herself have resounded. Not even General Johnson of the New Deal has been given much more white space to explain his maneuvers than Colonel West had for instructing the public about what it is she's trying to do. So far as we've been able to gather to date, her main object is to put sex back on a strictly business basis, perhaps not a wholly unworthy enterprise even though it seems to have the complete sanction of most men. For Miss West, being a practical, hard-headed person with a special gift for promoting Miss West, is a man's woman. The manner in which the strong sex has rallied to her support and given everything from the college yell to the Bronx cheer at her bidding. has been one of the most entertaining spectacles of our era. But she is still repulsed on all feminine fronts. The applause is feeble from the boudoirs. In spite of promotions and prophecies, the women are not imitating Miss West's curves, her slang or her mannerisms and. if I'm any judge, we're not going to. Dieting continues and the striving after the silhouette figure has not abated one whit.

rertly passes. He has a defensive type of hand and. if he passes, the original bidder and his partner may start to figure each other for the high cards that he holds. While North does hold four hearts, there certainly is nothing constructive about his hand and he is justified In passing. East makes a good double, I think, with his hand. As West can not bid spades, his best response Is one no trump to snow the heart suit stopped. When East bids two diamonds. West's highly constructive bid of two no trump is proper. East, with a singleton heart and the king of spades, which is probably under the original bidder's ace, properly signs the hand off at three diamonds. Many players might make the mistake of going to three no trump with West’s hand, but they should bear In mind that their partner has doubled and has asked to have the hand signed off. With the heart suit stopped only once and against South's original bid. West would be wrong in going to three no trump and'should pass three diamonds. (Copyright. 1934. NEA Service. Inc.*
