WASHINGTON LETTER
CONTINUED from Page 1,


. A congressman's Importance as
compared to his constituents has
been brought to light this week
by. an incident in the House Of
flee Building. A newcomer to
Congress was discussing his de-
votion to his constituents and the
hard work which fell to his lot
as congressman, stressing the in
terest he had in the peoples
welfare. Actions, however,
speak louder than words. This
congressman apparently thought
that his office was above the
people because he used a special
elevator and told his constituents
in condescending way that they
would have to ride on the regu-
lar lift. This congressman actu-
ally believed that his position
was so exalted that the constitu-
ents could not ride on the eleva-
tor with others of his ilk. Maybe
the voters will have another
word.
Several members of Congress
have passed the word that they
do not like the work Incidental
to their position and would have
the average man believe that
they accept denomination at a
tremendous sacrifice and solely
in the interest of the dear
people,. There are notorious
cases where congressman appear
at their Offices only on rare oc-
casions and then largely to draw
their checks. While it is true
that the honor draws many men
of wealth to Congress, the sordid
side of salary is also a fatal at
traction for many. Inquiries
show that many members of the
House and Senate could not earn
$4,000 a year in their home town.
The debate on the Muscle Shoal
issue continues to rage without
anything being accomplished. 1t
is said that there are some legis-
lators in the South who would
like to have the controversy con-
tinued indefinitely in order to
make it a campaign issue in
their districts.

BELL SYSTEM SPENDS
$35O,OOO, 900 ANNUALLY.
Vast Sum Used for Construc-s
ton, Says A. T. & T. Co.
President

According to W. S. Clifford, Presi-
dent of the American Telephone and
Telegraph Company, in a recent speech
before the Investment Bankers As
sOciation at st. Petersburg, Florida,
the construction program of the Bell
System is over $3.50, 100000 a year.
More than 100000 Bell tele-
phones are now in use in the country.
In order to make intercommunication
among them possible the Bell System
owns property and other assets, such
as switchbOards, pole lines, cOnduits,
ETC., that have cost over $4,000, 100000.
But the public themselves are part
owners of this great enterprise. Ac-
cOrding to Mr.. Clifford, the American
Telephone and Telegraph Company has
more than 100000 stockholders. If
owners of preferred stocks and bonds
were also included, the number of
partners in the Bell System would be
close to 100000 people-a city the size
of Cleveland or Pittsburgh.
This stock is now selling around
$142 on the New York exchange. 1t
pays SO per year per share and can
be purchased at any Bell Telephone
Business Office either outright or on
a partial-payment plan of $40 per
share per month.

GROWING POPULATION
HERE, SAYS REPORT
Diamond State Telephone Co.
Engineers Complete State
Survey

Delaware will have population ap'
prOximating 100000 by the end OF
1850.
This is the conclusion of the Engi.
neers of the Diamond State Telephone
Company, who have completed a sur
vey of the State.
The estimate takes into considera-
ton the increases of population due to
the expanding manufacturing activi-
ties around Wilmington, the growing
popularity of the watering places
along Delaware Is coasts and the prob
able growth in the agricultural Sec
tiOns of lower Delaware.
Like the other public utility or
ganizations, the Telephone Company
observes future trends in order to be
in a position to furnish equipment for
the telephones that will be required.
Future trends are not a matter of
conjecture. The number of telephones
in service for several years back are
taken. The increase each year is noted.
The other factors, such as the expan-
sion of industrial activities, the attrac-
tiveness of watering places, the desir
ability of locations for residential pur-
poses, are considered. Future estimates
are then made with due consideration
for factors such as those indicated and
tinctured finally with a plentiful sup
ply of good judgment.
On such basis it is figured that
1880 will see about 1000 more tele-
phones in the State than are now in
use. Since 10000 telephones are now
connected to the Diamond State Tele-
phone switchbOards, this increase in
the next four years represents a Is
per cent expansion of the entire tele-
phone plant in the State.

ARTICLE No. 10
Copyright 1925 by HOyle. Jr.

A great many players seem to be in
doubt as to whether or not they are
justified in taking advantage of the
personal element in auction. In other
words, is it fair and within the ethics of
the game to note and take advantage
OF the mannerisms or characteristics of
your fellow players4 The answer is sim
pie. You are playing game with three
other people, your partner and two
opponents, and it is not only allowable,
but it is your duty to study them as
carefully as you do your cards. The
players in the game are just as impor-
tant as the cards and should be studied
and analysed Just as carefully. If you
are playing with strangers, it is rather
difficult to profit by such analysis, but
when you are playing constantly with
the same group you should take into
account all of the characteristics of the
different players, when bidding, playing
the dummy or playing against the de-
clarer. You can bid freely with one
partner but must be conservative with
another. You can take a chance against
one opponent but must be very careful
of being doubled with another. If one
opponent does double, look out, for you
are probably beaten; but if another
doubles, figure on an extra trick oS so.
In the play of the hands, however, a
little different point arises. It is not
considered good form to hesitate or
otherwise indicate by your method of
play, that you do or do not hold certain
cards. If player becomes noted for
doing this as a matter of habit, how
ever, his opponents are certainly iusti-
fed in taking due advantage. One play
er, for example, always gives a nervous
cough when he holds the missing honor
and the opponent leads through his
hand. He has tried hard to cure himself
of this habit but without success. As a |
result, his opponents play for this signal
and nearly always get the necessary in
formation. Another player had habit |
of always redoubling when doubled. |
The word ''double" seemed to call up
in his mind the word "redouble" and he
was helpless to refrain from saying it.
Every player at the table has the same
opportunity of drawing conclusions that
you have, so be on the alert at all times
for the human element. Bridge is a
game of wits and the player who can
best match his wits against the others
is the winning player. On the other
hand, always avoid unfair tactics, such
as private conventions or signals. I'm
premeditated slips or rmannerismss should
be taken advantage of but watch out
for those that are made with the inten-
ton of deceiving. For example, if you
have a singleton of the suit led, you
should play it promptly and not hesi-
tate. Hesitation in such case would
lead your opponent to believe that you
have choice of two or more cards and
might influence his play to his disad-
vantage. Such tactics are not manner
isms and are distinctly unfair. Play
mans game, man fashion, at all times.
One of the types of players that one
meets very often is the player who al
ways tries to take his partner out of {
double. He gets the idea into his head !
