100000 BRIDGE
PLAYERS IN COUNTRY
Just Starter, Sidney Lentz Says, ,
Laying Popularity to Radio
Broadcasting of Games.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. March 22.-There
are 100000 bridge players in the
United States. it is estimated by
people who ought to know.
Sidney Lentz, many times national
bridge champion, explains that radio
broadcasting of games by bridge
masters has created bridge clubs in
every town and hamlet in the country.
A card company, which last year
spent $350,000 in newspaper advertis-
ing alone in connection with such
games. says 5000 900 players are just
a starter, and that the game is really
just getting good.
"A card game to be universally
popular" added Mr.. Lentz. must
have a large element of luck. balanced
with large element of skill, so that
when a player has good luck in cards
he can believe that he won by skill.
and when he loses that that was plain
bad luck.
And that" he continued. "is. you
might say, bridge"

SLEEP FOR CHILDREN
 AND PLENTY OF IT

It is good plan to form the habit of an early bed hour for the younger children. All children while awake are ever active, and f their day con tinues into the evening hours, tnls means for each child more activity than he should expend in his day time. While adults need eight hours of sleep to restore their strength and freshen them after the days work, children need even more. School ehil- dren need at least ten hours, and younger children from ten to twelve hours
 Some children do not sleep sound lv. This is because they have played too hard during the day without suiii- eleni relaxation. or they have eaten too heartily at the supper hour For children who are inclined to be over active. d rest period each day should be insisted upon. This may be taken in the early afternoon. or after play, just before supper

EDWARD ALBERT
STAYS ON HORSE
AND WINS RACE

BICESTER, England, March To-
The Prince of Wales, riding his new
steeplechaser Cark Courticr, today
won the Lord Manners cup i'll tho
Grenadier guards regimental point
to-point race at the Bieester hunt
meeting.
Wales thrice previously had at
tempted to win the cup, but today s
was his first success. Fifteen horses
ran.
Wild enthusiasm moved the crowd
when Wales went into the lead and
as the prince crossed the finish line
in front, the spectators shouted
their pleasure.
The prince has been training hard
for the race. Several days ago he
gave up smoking and increased AIS
calisthenic exercises to be fit.
Three years ago this month in a
similar race, the prince suffered his
most severe riding accident when he
was thrown and kicked in the face
An ambulance removed Wales from
the field and it was found that he
had suffered slight concusslon.

Traffic Squad and
Cops to Compete

The traffic cops and the city
pavement Founders are going to
fight it out. Revolvcrs will be used
as weapons.
But the bullets will be aimed at
a regulation target and not at mem.
bers of the opposing forces. Chal-
lenges flung back and forth during
the winter months have finally gain
ed results and the traffic and city
police will each put a team of four
men into competition. The date has
not been definitely set but it will be
soon.
Captain Frank Oswalt will lead
the state men while his brother,
Chief of Police Sterling Oswalt, will
head the city force. Frank will have
Kirkland, Acklev and Hunter as his
teammates, while Sterling has Sc
lected Cornielson, Rosenquent and
Van Bezel to aid him in upholding
the honors of the city cops.
81 could use my left hand and
out shoot that brother of mine, -
Frank declared this morning.
"We'll cut all the black out of
the bulls-eyes when we start pop
ping was Sterling s comment.
The state boys feel a bit superior
at present having managed to nose
out the city cops in a previous tar

Hospital Patients
Need Head Sets

Radio fans in Imperial Valley who
have discarded head phones IN ia
vor of loud speakers, can put the
phones to good use according to A.
c. Farrar, member of the state hos
pital committee of the American
Legion.
Head phones are badly needed at
the naval hospital in San Diego.
Radio forms the chief amusement
for the patients confined there and
as loud speakers are impractical in a
hospital, unless a patient has a set
of head phone he is "out of luck -
on the radio programs.
Local residents who have head
phones for which they have no use,
and desire to aid the hospital pa
tients by presenting them with the
head sets, can leave the latter with
Farrar, at $40 Main street, or at
Trey and Maitlands, from which
places they will be forwarded to San
Diego.

OF u proposed clearing house for

discussed at meeting here today,

No plan had been approved when
the meeting adjourned at noon, al
though further discussion will be
held when the fruit men meet again
late this afternoon.
Concerns represented were the
American Fruit Distributors, Amer
lean Fruit Exchange, American
Fruit Growers, California Decidu-
Gus Fruit Co., Tracy Waldron Co.,
and Frank II. Buck Co. The rep

Baby's Fa tn er
Determined by
Texture of Hair

MOSCOW, March 16.-Poor old
Efather' is catching it again.
The recently-enacted marriage
code puts on fathers the new burden
of having to support their children
to the age of eighteen years, and
thus puts a severe damper on what
is here called casual parenthood. -
Now comes Professor Paliakoff of
the Leningrad Academy, with &
claim that he can tell with scien-
tific exactness whether or not an
accused father is really the parent
of the child he may be asked to
support.
Professor paliakoff claims to do
it by analyzing the hair. The only
requirement, apparently, is that the
baby must be old enough to have
some. The color of the hair, the
professor declares, studied under u
microscope, tells the full story of
its parentage when compared to tn =
structure of the hair of its father
and mother. The hair of most baby
boys resembles that of their moth
ers, the hair of the little girls is
constructed like that of their faith
ers. In the few eases where the
test fails, the Professor AYERS it
has been found without exception
that the hair of the baby under
microscopic examination, resembles
that of its grandparents.

Outer Praises
Valley Farms

Jay Outer, representative of the
California Dairy Council, was the
speaker at the weekly luncheon
meeting of the members ofsthe
chamber OF commerce held in the
Barbara Worth Hotel at noon TODAY.
He gave very interesting talk on
the possibilities of the valley.
In opening his address the speak-
er referred to statistical records Of
Imperial valley, showing that the
valley was not producing onc.half
of the dairy products which it could
dispose of on the market. The fig
ures showed the per-capita consump-
tion and the increased population
IN California were rapidly overshad-
owing the increase in production.
In closing he pointed out the mis-.
take being made by many, that of
too much specialization in farming.
He suggested diversified farming as
n remedy to the present ills of the
market with special attention to
the big fields for dairy products.
GA 40-acre farm with chickens
and cows, with the raising of hogs
as a sideline, would prove on deal
investment in this valley today, -
he said in conclusion.
A meeting of the directors will
be held in the headquarters of the
chamber on Main Street tonight.

Desert Rat" Makes New
Find at Barrel Springs
Near Weepah.
SELLS IMMEDIATELY
Ore Estimated In Places
to Assay as High as
$4,000 Per Ton
by United Press Leased Wire

TONOPAH, New, March 16.-The
gold lure beckoned today to Barrel
Springs. four and one half miles
from Weepah, as new strike swept
into prominence.
The vein whic hives Watson, vet
eran "desert rat uncovered at
Barrel Springs Monday and sold
Yesterday to Edward J. Roberts of
San Francisco and Homer Black, for
$4,000, holds prospects almost as
bright as the Weepah bonanza, min
ers declared.
The vein is 40 feet wide with a
five foot width Of ore showing an
average assay value OF $7S per ton
gold.
On the side of the strike diggin S,
the rocks fairly glisten in places
with gold, while selected specimens
are estimated to run as high rs
$4,000 per ton.
The vein has already been traced
for 4500 feet, the new owners said.
Roberts and Black moved just as
speedily after purchasing Watson s
claims as they did when they laid
down the S1O,OOO after hurried eX-
animation of the strike.
Already they have incorporated
into the Weepah Development Mines
company, and this morning they
hurried truckloads of machinery
from Tonopah to the location.
Four experienced miners started
opening the vein and prospecting for
the best place to sink shaft.
1t is a matter of record in mining
history that many of Nevada s big
gest gold mines were discovered by
Indians. Goldfield was a conspic-
nous example of this, the gold there
first having been located by 10
wear old Indian boy named Stimler.
Goldfield produced $S5,O0O,OOO be-
fore it went "dry.'
