less slowly British statesmen, are coming
to the position taken by French and British
scholars three years ago about the German in

holding unpopular position three years
ago the scholars were ridiculed and abused.
They knew the truth and stuck to it. 1t was
obvious. Yet the statesmen seemed not to see

as the five of clubs is not an encourapinp card
from BIS hand.
But as B discards the smaller eluh on the
third trump, A has no hesitation in leading
his slngly guarded king of clubs. the reverse

Many players fail to see the Importance Of
making a discard that cannot be mist.ker 40
to Its meaning, and one that leaves the mart
ner to guess. Some who played this hand
thought it would show strength in clubs ius4 as
well to discard small heart, which. not being
an encouraging card, would tell A not TO lead
through the ten-ace in dummy.
But that is a very different +hino fro,,
telling that it is quite safe to lead his guard-

-D ragged fierce controversy over the
question of the discard One school
s1nsisted that it should be always from weak
Ress, as it was foolish to throw awav possib1a
D1rIcks IN ones strong suit. The others con-
sidered it more important to protect the weak
suits, in which the declarer was probably
strong.
In looking over TIE evidence for each side
found that after examining about fiftv hands
IN which either discard could be made. with
no indication as to choice, the tricks saved
by keeping the strong suit were outnumbered
ABOUT three to one by the tricks lost through
discarding weakness. AS a result have al
ways taught the discard from the suit YOU are
not afraid Of, and keeping the suit that Won
are afraid of, provided there Is any chance to
protect it
The familiar example Of discardinr weak

the game, is discarding from three to lack

Auction has rendered this discussion no
longer necessary by the introduction of two
conventional discards: the reverse and the

on the same principle, but apply to different
situations
Taking the encouraging card first. It IL de-

"N HE former dean Of the School of Fins
Arts at Yale woke up one fine morning
-2- last week to find that his wife had di-
vorced him. He told the newspapers
that he did not know the cause. He is an
artist and naturally bit preoccupied. But
the average husband in such a fix would prob
ably be picking out which of dozen good
causes his wife might have taken.
The wonder is in this world that there are
not more divorces. When the lure Of the
primrose path is SO bright, when freedom,
beckons so gayly and may be had almost for
the asking, the marvel is that the institution
Of marriage survives at all. And it is a
credit to the human race that it does stick to
the home.
The home is about the only thing man has
made that has survived the ages The love
Of man for q woman and their iov in chill
dren, that Is all the baggage we brought from
the old home place, wherever it was, in the
age Of innocence. Some of us lose our bag
gage, being careless, but unless we are tenn
peramental and absent-minded or trife self
centered we know why and where and when
1t went. And. having lost it, we often have
the DEVILS own time to find it-even with an
advertisement in the papers.
But the fact that the race goes on with so
little lost baggage seems to prove we are not
bad lot and that the angel who made human

Breakfast and Freedom,

4 KANSAS woman is suing her husband for
divorce because he beats her for not hav-
ing corn the cob for breakfast. She was an
obstinate woman and needed discipline. If he
had asked for toasted corn in the carton,
or corn am jus d Ia moo1eShine, she would have
thought he was a man of taste and discern
ment. But to call for corn on the cob marked
nm for low creature, who might at any mo-
ment be addicted to liver pads or gold tooth
picks or suspenders.
But isn't this America, free country? Has
any woman right to set up her effete Euro
pean notions IN our democracy? Breakfast in
America as we want it was one of the things
which interested the enbattled farmers at
Concord Bridge. And we have right, there
fore, to wide breakfast choice from hash
through liver and onions, past fish balls baked
beans and hot brown bread to doughnuts and
mince pie.
The Kansas woman who tried to undermine
the first and fundamental institution of our
glorious American day is unfortunate if she
got beating. But after all

 EDDY RESUMES
Principal Question Before Commission Is British
 Interest Suggestion

WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.-Resump tion of meetings of the foreign debt funding commission this week was indicated today at the treasury where it was said that immediate considera- tion would be given to the situation prior to the beginning of interest pay ments by Great Britain.
 The principal question to be deter mined is whether this government shall acquiesce in the request of Great Britain that an approximation of $50,- 000000 be made for the interest on $5,000, 100000 British war debt falling due in the next two months. On Oc- tober 15, $65,00O,000 of interest from Great Britain falls due and on Sep tember 15, $35,OOO,OOO but at the rate of five per cent while the act creating the commission authorizes the fund ing of foreign debts with interest at four and oue-quarter per cent
 Great Britain has suggested that an approximate amount of interest be paid in October and such adjustments as may be necessary made in the funding arrangements to be worked out by the commission and the Irish financial mission which is expected to reach this country late in October

ATTORNEYS FUR POUL|N OBJECT
 TO BLOOD TEST
Defense Rests in Paternity Case After Cross-Exami-
 nation of Poulin

SOUTH BEND, Ind, Sept. 25.-The defense in the Tiernan-Poulin case rested it's case late this afternoon af- ter the state had finished it's cross examination of the defendant, Harry Poulin, who was the last witness to take the stand. The prosecution will make a short rebuttal in the morning, following which the attorneys will give their closing arguments, an hour be- ing allowed for each side. The case is expected to be in the hands of the judge by noon.
 That the prosecution intends to de mand blood test as means of de- termining whether Harry Poulin is the father of ten months son of Mrs. John P. Herman, as she charges of was in- dicated during the cross examination of MT. Poulin who went on the witness stand in his own defense.
 Would you object to blood test?' said Prosecutor Floyd Jellison, of the defendant.
 We object" chorused the attorneys for the defense.
 ''The witness had not objected re- piled the prosecutor.
 We have though" answeded the de- fendant's lawyers in unison.
 Questions asked MT. Poulin on cross examination indicated that the prose cution would offer number of witness in a rebuttal to impeach the defend ant.
 Poulin was asked about a woman, re ferred to by Prosecutor ellison only as Mrs. ''W", although the defense sought to obtain her full name. A man on abicycle who had dumped into Mir Poulin also was brought into the questioning without mentioning any names. A letter also was shown the witness but he denied having writ ten it to Mrs. Tiernan while she was in Bronson, Mich.
 A dance on March P was referred to by Prosecutor Jellison.
 Didn't you there state to Mrs. Tier nan that you would buy the baby a cigar if it was boy? At another time didn't you say to Mrs. Tiernar don't show the baby to my mother, she will recognize it?'" asked Mir Jellison No sir, certainly did no," the wit ness replied.

No Battleships to
 be Scrapped Until
 Treaty Is Ratified

WASHINGTON, Sept 25.- Secre- tary Denby announced today that there will be no scrapping of battle ships until after the five power naval treaty has been ratified by the last of the subscribing powers. France and Italy nave yet to ratify the pact.
 Five obsolete battleships have al- ready been sent to the scrap heap, but it was said that although named in the treaty, htey would have been scrapped anyhow. They are the Vir- ginia, Rhode Island, Nebraska, GeOr- gia and the New Jersey.
 Officials, it was indicated, have fel that the Near East situation might lead to some of the signatOries chang ing plans regarding the scrapping of vessels beyond the treaty provisions and for this reason it would not be wise for the United States to begin actual scrapping until all the powers have ratified the pact.
