A Fine Distinction

When Runania SENT as that country dlo last eve
ning royal decoration to Wallace O. Lee J" oio more
than recognize an individual.
The citation and appointment was the royal man
ner of recognizing hospitality and courtesy when
Queen Marie visited this city.
II was Mr.. Lee who had charge of the arrange
rcents and whose dizziness antl understanding made
that visit so outstanding in the memory of the dis
tingrished visitor that the decoration follows as
letter of appreciation.
Here are characteristics which any city might cul-
tiyate with not only pride but profit
Courtesy and hospitality make for enduring
friendships. A city known as a courteous community

The Yosemite Threat

The Yosemite National Park, in California is one
of the most beautiful and popular of our national
monuments. More than half million people visited
it last summer; the number this year will be greater
YET contrary to popular belief, not all Of the land
there is national property There are more than
1900 acres Of privately owned land within the park
these lands can cut over, used for hot dog stands
or otherwise used so to mar the natural beauty Of
the park.
The National Park Service wants to make this
private acreage national property. 1t can do so by
trading to the certain other park lands and
paying about 100000 in cash. An act of Congress
is necessary before this be done. Congress must
act the next session. for numbering operations
expected to be started next year.
1t is highly important that that act go through
Congress- If you want to the Yosemite preserved

Senator Reeds Position

If Senator Reed is right in his KEW, first, that
Governor Al Smith will fail to get the necessary twS-
thirds of the Houston votes and second that he
Senator Reed then WILL the only other candidate
having any considerable strength attract that said
tuo-thrds to himself, there will be only one posi-
BILE explanation
1t is this: The Democratic party refuses to nomi~
nate Catholic Between these candidates. broadly
speaking, there is little difference save as to their
church afilation; not much more difference than
the fact that Smith wears derby hat and Reed
doesn't.
True, it may be argued for Smith that he has
proved himself an executive almost without peer in
this country, while Reeds reputation that of pub
lie prosecutor, it may be said Smiths understand
ing is limited to state affairs, while Reed is expert
enced in national and international matters.
And then, in turn it can be recalled that Smith
has been right, from the Wilsonan viewpoint, in
ternatonal policies, while Reed has been wrong.
There are differences Of that kind but it is not
about these differences that the delegates seem to be
concerned.
Both men are wet-but Smith is Catholic. 1t is
only on that fact that Reed base any hope. Yet
if Reed may hope for the nomination on this ground
he surely would not hope for election
If the Democratic party can not afford to nominate
Catholic this year. it is equally true that it can
not afford not to do so.

Il problems, Miss K. w. Kinyon and
Prof. l.. Thomas Hopkins devote
one chapter to discussion of the
manner in which sickness should be

The systematic outlines that they

the elementary facts for the control

clean and simply furnished, and be
provided with plenty of fresh air

places in which dust can accumu-

sick. All unnecessary furniture and
ornamentation should be removed.
Flowers may be placed in the
room but even these are frequently
distasteful to patients and should
not be urged upon the sick who do
not care for them. Particularly dis
tasteful are faded or dead flowers.

When you hold three cards in a
suit, no matter how small, the dan
ger of the opponents making more
than four tricks in that suit Is
greatly minimized, the probabilities
being that the cards are fairly dis
tributed among all the players.
From this we deduce the rule
that it is inadvisable to bid no
trump initially if blank in suit
or when holding a singleton or
worthless doubleton in one OF the
suits.
When this is clear, it becomes
equally seIf-evident that if you hold
two suits blank, or two suits WITH
worthless doubletons, on any such
holding, you ought not to bid 70
trump.
A suit is automatically and
surely stopped when it contains the
Ace, or any of the following:
K @
KJ10
Q ] 10
j 10 9 8
For the purpose Of bidding an
initial no trump, mathematlcally
sure stop is extremely helpful, put
it is not absolutely necessary.
If, however, you were to postpone
bidding a no trump until your hand
always contained three suits mathe-
matically surely stopped, you would
be passing up many a hand out 81
which you might reasonably make
game.
For the purpose of bidding an
initial no trump. the following may
be considered probable shoppers as
distinguished from the sure stop
pers previously listed:
K x
OK
@ xxx
J 10 x x
JX xxx.
Every sure stopper Is obviously a
probable stopper, but every probable
stopper is not a sure stopper. Stop
pers in three suits alone would not
Justify an initial no trump.
You also must hold some higii
cards and the hand must be worth
at least two quick tricks. AS ar
illustration, when you hold;
@ j 10
@ ] 10
O J 10
Xxx * *
YOU have three suits stopped. The
hand, however, is not worth two
quick tricks and you therefore have
no bid.
If you hold:
Spades A Xxx
Hearts A x x
Diamonds K K K
Clubs x K K x
YOUR hand contains two and one
half quick tricks with three suits
safely stopped. Yet there are many
players who assert this is too weak
holding on which to bid no
trump.

When was the medieval age?
According to most historians, the
medieval age covers the period
from the fall of the Roman Empire
in the West, A. D. 476, to the dis
covery of America by Columbus A.
D. 1892. Usually this period is d.
vided into two parts: the Dark
Ages A. D. 476 to the eleventh CEN
tury, and the Age Of Revival, cover.

the eleventh century to the dis

How does one tell the number of
words in a manuscript without
counting each word.
The number Of words to a line
is determined by counting them for
several average lines. The number
of lines to an average page is esti-
mated in the same way. Multiply
the number of pages by the number
of lines and the product by the
number of words in a line and the
result will be approximately the
number of words in the manuscript.

Klein GUILTY,
PRICE FREED,
IN CAR TRIAL
MunCie Mechanic Released;
Finance Company Head
Faces Jail.

Jack Klein, manager of the Eu-
reka Finance Company, 334 NORTH
Delaware street, was found guilty
and George Price, Muncie mechanic
not guilty by the federal court jury
in the Muncie automobile theft rims
case today.
Price had been in jail for two
months, unable to provide bond. He
was released Immediately after the
verdict was read before Judge Rob-
ert G. Baltzell at $50 this morn
ing.
Judge Baltzell announced sentence
would be passed on Klein at 9 Sat-
urday morning, when the twelve de-
PENDANTS in the interstate automo-
bile theft ring cases and Frank Wolf
and Michael j. Glenn, convicted on
Tuesday morning Of having obtained
and concealed stolen car, also will
be sentenced.
Case Is Cut Short
Klein and Price with Wilborn c,
Caldwell, Muncie automobile dealer,
who had pleaded guilty, and Kirby
E. Davis, Ft. Wayne, a fugitive, were
indicted on seven counts charging,
transportation, of automobiles stolen
in Michigan and Ohio, bartering,
selling, changing Of motor numbers
and conspiracy to commit all of
these violations.
Reaching its decision a few
minutes after p. m. Tuesday the
jury sealed its verdict and ad-
journed. The case went to jury at
4:45 o'clock and Judge Robert G.
Boltzell, declared that if no verdict
could be reached by 6 o'clock. the de-
cision when reached was to be
sealed and presented to him in the
morning.
Presentation Of evidence and argu-
ments were short. The government
announced at first that seventy-five
witnesses would testify against
Klein and Price, but at 2:30 p. m.
District Attorney Albert Ward rested
the prosecution after thirty wit
nesses had taken the stand.
Denies Charges
Klein testified in his own defense
and gave a list of the automobiles
he had sold Caldwell, denying that
at any time had he changed the
motor numbers or entered negoti-
ations for the stealing of automo-
biles.
Contending that the only connec-
ton he had with Klein and Cald-
we'll was to have done some repair
work for Caldwell, and that he
once drove a junked Buick pur-
chased by Caldwell from Klein,
Price steadfastly denied any con-
nection with the alleged ring.
Five automobiles we're charged by
the government to have been stolen
by agents of the alleged ring and
their numbers changed by Caldwell
and Davis and Klein to that of
other cars which we're "junked."

White-Haired Father Alb
solves Sons of Blame
Despite Prison Term.

A white-haired father, 67 years
old, stood before Federal Judge
Robert c. Baltzell today, and, with
tears in his eyes, absolved his two
sons of blame in printing of coun-
terfeit Canadian whisky strip
stamps, knowing he faced a peni-
tentiary term by doing so.
The father was Albert G. Good
win, Sr., of the Goodwin Litho-
graphing Company, Albany, N. Y,
alleged by the government to have
printed the counterfeit stamps and
whisky labels responsible for flood
ing the country with fake bonded
liquor.
Trial of Goodwin and fourteen
other defendants was halted in fed
eral court with pleas of guilty by
nine defendants.
Dismiss Six Defendants
Defendants pleading guilty and
their sentences were: Goodwin.
$500 fine, year and a day; Peter
ziff, Chicago, $500 fine, fifteen
months; Charles ziff, Chicago,
$4,000 fine; Harry J. Brody, Chi
cago. 500 fine; Nathen Altman,
Chicago, $50; Mike Trumko, Mil
waukee, $500 fine, four months in
Jail; Arnold N. Greenberg, st. Paul,
Mimi, $500 fine; Hyman Meyers,
Minneapolis, Mimi, 500 fine;
Clark G. Behler, FIT. Wayne, $100
fine; Sam and Jake Fogle, 1119
Union street, Indianapolis, one day
in Jail each.
Six defendants against whom
charges were dismissed by the gov
ernment we're: Abraham Ziff, Chi
cago; Samuel Joseph and Isaac E.
Herschorn, Milwaukee; William
Meyers, Minneapolis; Thomas D. N.
Goodwin and Albert G. Goodwin,
Jr., Albany, N. Y.
Goodwin told the court he had
been in the printing and and litho-
graphing business, started by his
father, fifty years.
Resumed Printing Stamps
In February, 1923, the firm went
into bankruptcy, an attorney being
named receiver in federal court at
Albany. This attorney, he said, be-
gan the manufacture of the Cana
dian strip stamps and whisky labels
and continued until the receivership
was terminated in 1926, after which
Goodwin resumed control Of the
business and discontinued printing
the stamps.
A short time later government
agents confiscated the plates and
dies used in printing the stamps,
later returning them with explana-
ton no law was being violated,
after which he resumed printing the
stamps, he declared. A law passed
since makes it a crime to reproduce
stamps of any country.
Goodwin and Peter. Ziff were given
until Dec. 81 to arrange their busi-
ness affairs before starting SEN
tences.

Detectives today sought witnesses
of street car r-automobile accident
at Fifteenth street and Central
avenue Monday night, which occurred
few minutes after the three
bandits who killed Paul Pulliam,
$3.50 East Sixteenth street, theater
manager, were last seen, in hopes Of
finding a clew to the slayerS.
Lieutenant Vern Earle of the In
dianapolis Salvage Corps witnessed
the accident, but did not stop to
investigate. There were three young
men in the car which had collided
with a street car, he said however.
No report of the accident was
made to the police accident bureau
and street car company officials
said the motorman had made no re-
port to the company.
AS the bandits we're last seen in
the alley in the rear of 1921 Central
avenue, a few blocks away, detec-
tives believed there was a possobil-
ity the death car in which they fled
might have been the one in the
crash.
Detectives also are tracing activ-
tiles of several groups of young men
answering the general description
Of the bandits and believed this
might lead to developments.
They are hindered by the meager
descriptions of the gunmen. who
shot Pulliam as he was driving
downtown with receipts from the
st. Clair theater, Ft. Wayne avenue
and st. Clair street.
According to Carl Williams, IS, Of
821 North New Jersey street, riding
with Pulliam, the bandit car, a
E lex roadster was parked on Ft.
Wayne avenue a half block from
the theater. AS Pulliam passed, the
roadster started up, a shot rang out
and Pulliam slumped in the seat
dead.
The bandits ihen held Williams
captive while they drove to the alley
in the rear of Central avenue,
searched Pulliam's body without
finding his money and fled.
