photograph from a1oft the phenom-
ena Of solar eclipse. the group of
scientists, who today witnessed the
eclipse from the dirigible Los An

describing the beauty Of the spec

boys, they recited their adventure in
the simple words Of the layman.

STATE TROOPS RUSHED
TO SCENE OF BATTLE
Career of Dead Dry Agent Matched
by But Few in Recent
Years.
BY the Associated Press.

HERRIN. ILL.,, January 24.-S. Glenn
Young, Ku KluX klan liquor raider, his
first assistant, George Forbes, and their
opponent, Deputy Sheriff Ora Thomas
OF Williamson County, tonight were
killed in a hotel lobby fight as a
climax of many stormy months of con-
tention in Williamson County.
Several other persons were wounded
during the melee and five are reported
to be in hospitals while others suffered
slighter wounds. The affray took place
in the lobby of the European Hotel and
reports differ widely to just how II
started. The action itself was so fast
and furious that the spectators. most Of
whom fled from the torrent OF bullets,
Were unable To agree as to which man
fell first or what else took place.
II was reported that Young had
walked the streets during the day as
the result of a report that his enemies
were looking for him and that both
Young's supporters and partisans Of
the other side were keyed to a high
pitch as night came on. About 10 o'clock
Young and Thomas met in front Of the
hotel. Some one fired a shot appar-
emily from the window of a building.
Thomas ran into the hotel, according TO
some witnesses, and sought refuge be-
hind cigar counter.
Follow Thomas TO Hotel.
Young and several friends, appar-
emily thinking that the shots had
been directed at them followed Thorn
as into the hotel and many shots were
fired in rapid succession. Thomas
after emptying both his revolvers
| sank to the floor mortaliy wounded.
while Young and his assistant Forbes
dropped to the floor of the lobby.
About sixty shots in all were fired,
witnesses said.
Thomas came to Herrin this morn
ing from Marion to attend the ses-
sions OF the Herrin City Court. A
night session of the court caused him
to remain here tonight.
Crowds of people filed the streets
soon after the shooting, but were
quickly dispersed, and all citizens
were ordered off the streets.
Thomas Dies In Ambulance.
Thomas died en- route TO the hospital,
and his body was taken to an under
taking establishment, as were the bod
les of Young and Forbes.
Sheriff Gallgan, who was in Marion
at the time Of the shooting. was advised
of the affray and was requested by sew
eral citizens TO ask for a company OF
militamen, to prevent further outbreaks.
Young has been in Herrin for several
weeks. He has been living at the Lymar
Hotel, and just completed writing an
autobiography, which he intended to
have published.
The book is understood to contain an
account OF his episode in Texas, Okla

Diamonds Q, ], 9, 7, 2


At hearts Z made four odd, losing only
one heart, one club and one spade trick.
At diamonds, the result would have
been the same SO the experts imagina-
tion and clear analysis of his partners
bidding gave him game not otherwise
possible. How many players would
have bid this hand like the expert1
The foregoing hand was not selected
as unusual but only as representative
of the margin of superiority that the
expert has over the average player. To
excel at auction, as in any other game,
the expert must "have everything" He
must be able to do the right thing at the
right time and it is this quality that is
most strongly evident in the hand Civ
en-. 1t may seem easy and the experts
play and bidding the natural thing to
do but how many players could honest
ly say that in actual play they would
have done the same? If they can they
are in the class of the expert. If not,
they still have something to which to
look forward. We cannot all be experts
but we can all improve our game by
analyzing the experts methods and
profiting thereby. Put the expert "Un-
der the lens at every opportunity and
you cannot help but benefit. Another
example will be given in later article.

Answer to Problem No. 5

There are no trumps and Z is in the
lead How can W win nine Of the ten
tricks against any defense? The correct
lead by L is the seven Of clubs. 7 should
win the trick with the ace and B should
play the eight Y should now lead the
deuce of spades. I should win the trick
with the queen and lead the ace. L
should now lead three rounds Of clubs
AS best discards are first a spade and
then hearts. BIS best play is to force Y
in the lead on the fourth round of clubs.
He can do this by playing his high
clubs and keeping the deuce for the
fourth club trick If B allows himself to
take this club trick he must lead dia-
monds up to VS. hand. A will be forced
to discard to his disadvantage and w
viii easily win e balance of the tricks.

TRADE UNIONS ARE MANY SIDED


There are many questions Of po-
litical, social and economic character
which occupy the public's attention,
but none is more vital than that of
organized labor. 1t is associated with
industry and permeates the social,
civic and economic life of all COM
munities. It's Importance can not be
minimized nor can it's influence upon
our national life be accurately meas
ured or correctly appraised.
The voice of organized labor, in
creasing in volume and power, is
heard in the councils Of the nation
and the judgment of its administra-
tive agencies is sought by those who
direct the affairs of government and
by the officers of organizations en-
gagged in promoting various humane
organizations. This great movement,
as represented by the A. F. of L., as
sumes to speak for all working men
and women. 1t speaks directly for
the millions of unorganized workers
whose voices are inarticulate and
whose standards of life are greatly IN
fluenced by the success or failure Of
organized labor.
The A. +. of l.. is constantly carry
ing the message of organized labor to
the millions of workers in all voca-
tions and callings who are outside the
fold of organized labor. Today it is
launching a campaign of organization
and education through which it hopes
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1925-12-04

not only to arouse great public inter
est in the work of organized labor,
but, in addition, to increase its nu-
merical strength and economic pow
er.
The workers seek for comfortable
and happy homes. They seek whole
ownership of their homes. They seek
to promote cultural life through the
protection of children and TIN ough
education and the application of those
refining processes which come
through education and understanding
They seek to enhance spiritual values
and to promote spiritual welfare;
not, perhaps, in a literal, religious
sense, but in the development OF the
spiritual side Of the natures Of men
and women, so that they will aspire
to realization of their purposes.
The dreaming of a better day and
a better life, the aspiring toward the
enjoyment of higher and better
things, the yearning for the unseen
and the unrealized and the elevation
of life to a higher and nobler stand
ard are all developments in the spirit
ual nature Of working people.
There may be those who charge or
ganized labor with being Materials
tic and with seeking only the pro-
motion of material things. They are
entertaining mistaken idea To the
contrary, organized labor emphasizes
the idealistic side Of life, using only
the materialistic for the purpose Of
advancing and promoting the cultur-
al, the spiritual and the recreational
phases of human life.

Hand No. 1
Hearts = A, 10, 9, I
Clubs @
Diamonds - A, K, 10, S


No score, rubber game. The expert, Z,
dealt and bid one diamond, a perfect
example Of the four card suit bid in
preference to the no-trump. The single
ton club is a danger spot in no-trump
because a good player with a set up
club suit and the lead would pass the
no-trump. In this particular hand, A
had six card club suit and his partner
the ace of spades SO that a no-trump
ibid by North would have failed to make
the contract by one trick. L, however,
possessed the first requisite of the ex-
pert, good judgment, SO bid one dia-
mond. A passed and Y bid two diamonds
TO give his partner another chance to
bid. B passed and Z now had to do a
little thinking. VS. bid of two diamonds
indicated a willingness on his part to
have L bid another suit. This suit could
be either clubs, hearts or spades. The
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1925-12-04

ton note that unless the seven of clubs
is led at trick one, B can keep Z in the
lead at trick seven and therefore force
him to give,A a heart and two spade
tricks. BIS best play, therefore, is to force
Y in the lead at the seventh trick. Y
should now play the queen of diamonds.
I should discard heart but what can
A discard2 If he discards spade, Y
should lead spade and thus force A to
lead up to rs king jack of hearts. If A
discards heart, Y should lead the trey
of hearts and Z will make both heart
tricks. 1t is evident, therefore, that the
lead of the seven of clubs at trick one
enables w to make all but one trick
against any defense. Note this problem
carefully and play out all of the varia-
tions. %
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1925-12-04

expert figured that his partner would
not bid two diamonds merely to obtain
a club bid from him because it is Just
as difficult to go game at clubs as in
diamonds. There would be nothing to
gain by such tactics SO Y must be pre-
pared for heart or spade bid. Z, there
fore, bid two spades. A passed and Y
bid three diamonds. B passed and Z was
now certain that Y was hoping for a
heart bid so bid three hearts with the
greatest assurance in the world. All
passed VS. hand was as follows:

In what way does the expert differ
from any other auction player2 Has he
more Imagination, more courage, more
resourcefulness, more originality What
particular quality makes him stand out
among his fellows? If there is anything
that we don't understand we usually
subject it to a close examination and
analysis so let's do the same with the
expert. Let us place him under the
microscope and let its lens magnify his
tactics. Let us observe and analyze his
bidding and play.
The following hand is Illustrative Of
the writer's contention that in the
language of sport, the expert "has every
thing"
