BIC BILL REPLIES TO HOSTILE PRESS
Says He's Reduced Chicago
 Crime 50 Per Cent

Chicago, Nov. 30 tP)--Mayor Will liam Hale Thompson. in a l,5O0 word telegram to the New York World yesterday. delivered himself of several caustic retorts to criti- cisms of his crusade against pro- British histories.
 His message was in reply to the Worlds offer to give him space in that newspaper to reply to attacks that have been made in some news papers because of the book purging campaign and because of the promi- hence that has been given Chicago's crime situation.
 If 1t is your desire 10 print the truth, you are at liberty to publish this telegram" the mayor wired. Permission is withdrawn if my statements are garbled, distorted or the sense misconstrued, as seems to he the policy of certain subsidized American newspapers that prefer to print falsehoods rather than truth
 In reply to the Worlds question:: why is your administration con- corning itself so much over school book matters and fears Of British influence, when 1t is so consistently reported. although perhaps inac- curately, the crimes Of violence grow in numbers in Chicago?" the mayor wired:
 Crime in Chicago has been re- Guced 30 per cent since William Hale Thompson was elected mayor, falsehoods 10 the contrary notwith- standing. The only crime war we have is with dishonest newspapers. '
 Another question was: "The gues- ton is being asked almost as ire duently whether these are the re- suits of administrative liaisons and political protection for gangsters, | The New York Herald Tribune. a staunch republican party organ, car res an editorial captioned At the Front in Chicago'.'
 ! The mayors reply to this was: Your second question indicates i that the Herald Tribune is a staunch republican party organ, which may be true, but I doubt it. However while I welcome a chance to read q staunch republican paper, that is in. 1 cidental, because, this Is not a mat. 1 ter of party politics.

ALLOTMENT -OE TREES
FOR WESTERN STATES

The allotment of government
funds to be used by. the. states of
the Rocky Mountain district in the
purchase and distribution of forest
tree planting stock has just been
made. according to John H. Hatton,
acting district forester, u. S. Forest
Service. Denver. The amounts al
lotted the various states are as fol-
lows:
Nebraska. $4,000; Michigan, ST.
900; Colorado, $1,776; Wyoming,
$1,000; Kansas. $4,000; Wisconsin,
$4,000.
These funds are allotted under
Section 4 of the Clarke-McNary Act,
passed by Congress In 1924, which
provides for the distribution of for
est tree seeds and plants for the
purpose of establishing w~indbreaks,
shelter belts and farm wood lots
upon denuded and non-forested land
through the equal cooperation of
the federal government and the state
in which the work is done. Refor-
estation through this means is only
one part of the national forest pol

LIVESTOCK In GOOD
CONDITION FOR WINTER

All classes of livestock are en-
tering tie winter season in average
condition. with prospects for a good
winter range and plenty of feed and
hay. according to the monthly live
stock and range report just issued
by d. F. Christy, statistician for the
Wyoming Cooperative Crop and
Livestock reporting service.
While the weather during the
past month has been none too ia
vorable. conditions are average or
better and stockmen generally are
quite optimistic.
Prices sof both sheep and cattle
are good and there is a general
tendency toward restocking.
The financial. condition of stock
men is better than for some time
past and very little forced liquida-
ton has occurred
Shipments will no doubtsbe better
than last year. with fewer head
shipped. due mainly to heavy losses
OF young STUFF in the May storm.
The range condition Ia now e2
pei cent OF normal, a drop of Ave
points during the month. but is the
same az the past I'VE year average
for October and two points better
than at this time last year. Winter
ranges Will be good over most of
the state. but In n few places the,
grass did not cure thoroughly be-
o r freezing weather. In the south
west part of the state conditions
have been quite dry. resulting In,
a short range, with a probable
shortage of hay also. Hay and feed
are plentiful throughout the rest of
the state. but the hay crop is of
a rather poor quality due to too
much wet weather at cutting time.
Prevailing prices for hay At this
time are: Alfalfa $500; wild hay
$500 to $1,000; other hay $500
to $500.
The condition of sheep dropped
two points during the past month
and is now reported at 95 per cent
OF normal. This is also two points
below the past hve year average. A
strong demand prevails. especially
Tor ewes. and the following prices
are reported: Eve lambs 5000 to
S12.0O: wether lambs, $500 to
$1,000; old ewes, 5000 to $500;
young breeding ewes. $1,000. Lambs
are said to be quite heavy this year
que to the excellent summer ranges.
cattle are now reported at 81 per
cent OF normal condition. a decrease
OF one point since last month but
an increase Of one point above the
last nve year average for October.
WIN the prevailing good prices cat
tiemen are in better shape than for
some time and wherever possible
are restocking their ranges. Fol-
lowing ARE the prevailing cattle

What does a bid Of one club indicator
A bid Of one club is a contract to take
in the two combined hands seven Of
the thirteen tricks. OF these seven tricks
the club bidder should have the ex-
pectancy Of at least four. As there are
thirteen tricks in all, and as the club
bidder has indicated by his bid that he
expects to take four tricks in his own
hand 4 clubs are trumps, there arc nine
tricks eemaining to be won by the three
other players. Each Of these three play
ers IS On average, entitled to one-third
fn,.rcssf. CT to three tricks. These three
tricks are the so-called Average Ex-
pe-sancy Of Support" and constitute
the basis OF every modern bid.
Every original bid should include two
eieirTfsss- First. two quick tricks against
any Did the opponents may make;
sec, !, the possibility Of at least four
tri . provided trump is the suit named
IN ,riginal bid These two elements
are important for two reasons: First,
when a bid is made, the bidder never
knows whether or not he and his part
nes will win the final declaration. For
thar -eason he must be just as we'll pre-
pa-cd 4 iefend as % attack. Hence the
q ssity for sure tricks. that Is, tricks
which will win against any declaration,
Second, the bidder must always be pre-
pared to play the declaration at the bid
hrst canned by him. He must. therefore,
have a suit that will take at least four
tricks If il is trump, for he can, on the
average, expect only three tricks from
his partner. For that reason he must
have length lat least four cards) as well

GEORGIA TECH MAY

The principal offensive weapon that
followers of foot ball in the South

Tech-the "Tech shifts about to
be discarded. probably for all time.
So says Coach William A. (BilD
Alexander. who foresees much trouble
for teams using shift plays and little
to be gained by continuing to try
them.
"Of course, it would be foolish to
say we will absolutely discard the
shift" Coach Alexander says, for
there is the possibility that officials
may allow a quick counting of the

ner of repeating it. In that case we
might try it, Otherwise 1t would
be useless"
The new rule in regard to the shift
provides that the pause in play must
allow a lapse of time sufficient for
the referee to count 1-2-3-4. 1t
also provides 15-yard penalty when
any player of the executing team is
in motion toward the opponents goal
before the ball is snapped. Hereto
fore the penalty was yards.
The penalty clause is also big
reason for dropping the shift, Coach
Alexander added.
