Consider Norris Case
Justice Blind, Maybe
Deaf and Dumb.
BY NJ. Il. Tracy

The Rev. ]. Frank Norris is free
free to be modest, free to repeat
his tragic performance, free to cash
in on the vast amount of free ad
vertising his trial included.
1t is a paradox of this enlightened
age that, with the blood of a fellow
being on his hands, he can become q
more powerful eXhorter than ever
can draw bigger crowds, perhaps
and provide more converts to "hit
the trail"
A jury verdict is a jury verdict
and there is no use quarreling
with it.
When a man is acquitted. he
stands clean in the eyes of the law
and justice, as she officially func,
tions, and can go no farther.
The Greeks were more truthful
than sarcastic when they repre-.
sented justice as blind.
Had they known how she would
operate in America, they might have
represented her as deaf and dumb,
also.

"CRAIG'S WIFE" BOOKED
AT ENGLISH'S NEXT WEEK

There is message to every
married woman in this city and vi
cinity in George Kelly's latest
stage success. "Craig's Wife, "
coming TO the English Opera
House for three nights and Satur-
day matinee, starting Thursday,
Feb. 3.
Mr.. Kelly has already scored as
a dramatist with his satiric fling at
the Little Theatre movement in
1.-THE Torch Bearers" and in his
bitter satire Of the blathering wind
bag in THE Show Off" In his
new play he touches irony and has
written a serious drama in which
he deftly handles another phase of
modern life in the person of a will
fully and designedly selfish wife,
not unknown and all too frequently
present in our every day existence.

material things, whose whole

Beyond the Law

Charlie Chaplin's pictures are just
as funny and just as foolish as they
ever were.
His divorce has merely opened the
eyes of some prudish folks to their
foolishness.
That good old blackjack, the CEN
sorship, is being brought into play.
Even Pasadena, which is almost
within shouting distance Of Chap
Inns studio. will have no more of
him.
This suggests that there is a type
of punishment outside the law, and
that it can be inflicted, whether
Justly or not, without the services
of judge and jury.

Takes Worst View

Latin-America does not know
what to make of our attitude. 1t
cannot tell whether our State De-
partment lis going to classify a
revolution as a war of liberation, or
mere banditry, whether a new presi-
dent will be recognized, or run out
of office.
Failing to understand our motives
or intentions, it puts the worst
possible construction on both and
shouts imperialism.
Russian propaganda has bred no
coalition Of Latin-American coun-
tries against us, but our own stupid,
blow-hot-blow-cold policy is driving
steadily toward that end.

Rev. J. Frank Norris has been in

When Bid Violation May
Escape Penalty by
Rule,
By MILTON c. WORK

The pointer for today is:
Insufficient bids or bids out OF
turn may not be penalized IL the
player on the left Of the offender
bid, pass or double before a penalty
Is claimed.
The penalty for bid out of turn
Is that the bid itself is declared void
the adversary whose turn it is to bid
declares and the partner of the Of
fender is prohibited from participate
ing in the auction during the re-
mainder of that hand. II the partner
of the offender be the player whose
turn it is to declare, the penalty is
the same except that the turn to dc.
clare passes to the adversary on the
left OF partner Of the offender and
on the right of the offender. When
an insufficient bid is made, the pen
atty as far as the partner Is con.
cerned is practically the same. The
insufficient bid is void and the in
sufficient bidder is required to make
sufficient bid, which he may do
in any declaration, and his partner
is barred from the auction.
Laws 90 and 20 cover these cases.
but misunderstanding frequently
arise because some players suppose
that it is the offender who is not al
lowed to bid subsequently. These
rules, like all others, fit the crimes.
The improper information given by
! irregular bids cannot be of benefit
to the player who makes the bid, but
It may be of great value to his part
ner and therefore 1t is the partner
whose mouth is closed,
One feature of both of the lnsuf
ficient bid and the bid out OF turn
which is sometimes in the pointer
given at the beginning of this article.
When, before attention Is called to
the irregularity. the adversary on
the left of the player in error either
| bids, passes or doubles. such action
accepts the irregular bid as regular
and the auction continues with the
player on the left of the one who
condoned the offense exactly as if
no offense had been committed, no
pentlay being enforced.
Another question often asked is
whether a Declarer who pulls a card
from the Dummy and then returns
it Is compelled to play the card he
has touched, or may play some
other. On this point Law 81 (c), is
most explicit. A card touched in
Dummy must he played, unless in,
| touching it the Declarer say IT ar
range" or words to that effect, or
unless he be manifestly pushing one
or more cards aside to reach tine one
he desires to play. The failure to,
enforce this rule leads to delays and
| sloppy play; and sometimes induces
an adversary to expose a card aud
! give undue advantage to the De
clarer. The game produces the most
satisfactory results when all penal
| ties are enforced

How can a wooden sweater be
washed so that it will not become
hard and shrink?
Use soft, tepid water. Make a suds
with a mild soap. Never rub soap
on the wool, as that makes it harsh.
Squeeze and knead the wool in the
suds. Do not rub. Rinse in two
tubs of clean water of the same tenn
perature as the suds. Change of
temperature of the water will cause
the fibers to contract and shrink
the fabric. In drying lay on a clean

When and how was the Princeton
University founded? Who was Its
first president?
1t was founded in 1746 as the Col
lege of New Jersey. Its inception
was due to the need felt by mem
bers of the Presbyterian Church for
a more comprehensive school to
take the place of the Log College
established in 1926 by William Ten
nant in Bucks County, Pennsyl-
vania. The first move toward its
establishment was begun in 1899 by
the Synod of Philadelphia, but the
plan fell through and in 1746 a char
ter was finally obtained independ-
emily by members of the Synod of
New Rorl1. The college was opened
at Elizabethtown with Jonathan
Dickinson as president. On his death
in 1747 Aaaron Burr became presi-

all the classes. Psychology Of color

Students are taught how to market

New classes will start at textile de-

has become an important class. Not
only is this the only class in textile
design, but the classes Of book illus
tration and etching are also the only
ones in town.
Etching, which has at last come
into its own in this country, Is now
a lucrative field for the artist The
demand for admission to this class by
non-professionals has necessitated the
establishment of class on pencil
rendering by Mr.. Harris for those
who ultimately expect to enter the
