AS he says, diSpassionately the
dry majority in both houses of Con-
gress is overwhelming. Nothing
short of political revolution could
change the complexion of that fine
body Of men. Therefore, he winds
up triumphantiy, the wet Repubh-
can who votes for a wet Democrat
is merely falling for a snare and a
delusion.
That is good argument. 1t is good
argument when applied to wet Re-
publicans who are besought to vote
for Hoover.
1t is also good argument when APP
piled to Southern, dry Democrats
who are thinking of going Re-
publican this year. It is good
argument for middle-of-t he-road
people who are neither wet nor dry.
nor Democratic nor Republican.
The same good argument may
equally be applied to the farmers
and their search for financial balm.
They may be told that it is hope
less to vote for Smith because he
couldn't give them relief if he
wanted to. So they may as we'll vote
for Hoover, who has been quite as
silent on that issue as he has on
the liquor question.
Mr.. Graham did not tell his wet
friends in Pennsylvania that they
had nothing to fear from a Repub-
lican administration.
He might have let the record of
the party, in these eight years, speak
for itself. He might have asked
them, privately and in a corner,
whether they had suffered any
drought. And he might have i'm

seven important matters involving his companies
pending before the Federal Power Commission. And
as secretary of interior West automatically becomes
a member of the Federal Power Commission
West may have high conception of the duties
and ethics of public Office He may not intend to
use the power now in his hands to further the in
erests Of his client himself and may in fact
do SO.
But as matter Of public policy, it is unfortunate
to say the least that situation should exist where
such use of power is possible.
The judgment of Congress in legislating to prevent
such a possibility was sound With the best motives
in the world it will be difficult for Mr. West to avoid
giving rise to suspicion to the administration of his
Office
He will, perhaps, when this becomes clear to him,
be unwilling to remain before the public in such a
light.

WHEN you become the declarer
w with a bid of no trump,
your opponents try to establish
their longest and strongest suit by
forcing you to play the higher cards
held by you in that suit.
If you hold only one stopper in
the suit that is led, you immedi-
ately must determine whether you
will take the trick on the first round
of postpone taking it until some
later round.
This problem arises continually
when the declaration is no trump
and the Importance of knowing
whether to take the trick or to,
"hold up" cannot be stressed too
strongly.
Assume that you are the declarer
with a bid of no trump and exam
inc the following illustration in
which west leads the 6 of hearts:
Dummy holds: spades K j 7;
hearts 9 5 A: diamonds j 10 9; clubs
A 10 5.
East holds: spades 10 o 5 4;
hearts @ j 8; diamonds K 8 6 6;
clubs K 2.
Declarer holds: spades A 8 6;
hearts A 2; diamonds A 7 4; clubs
QJ74.
West holds: spades @ 2; hearts
A 3 2; diamonds A A; clubs @ j 7 4.
You Immediately must determine
whether to take the trick with the
heart ace on the first round. Apply
ing the rule of eleven, you learn
that there are five cards higher than
heart 6 held by the dummy, east and
,declarer.
AS dummy and declarer hold two
of them, you know that east holds
the remaining three. You know
that west is leading from his long
est and strongest Suit-that he holds
at least four hearts.
The dummy and declarer hold six
hearts, making a total Of ten. That
makes it certain that east holds
only three cards in that suit.
1t is necessary to exhaust those
three cards from casts hand to pre-
vent your opponents from winning
three tricks in hearts. If you take
with the Ace of Hearts on the first
round, east will play the Queen OF
Hearts as soon as he gets the lead.
After that east will play the Jack
of Hearts, west overtaking with the
King of Hearts. West will then win
trick with the Ten of Hearts, CIV
ing your opponents three tricks in
hearts.
On the other hand, if you hold
up the Ace of Hearts when the Six
of Hearts is played, and also allow
your opponents to take the next
trick at hearts, you can prevent
them from winning additional tricks
in that suit by taking with your
Ace of Hearts on the third round,
thus exhausting casts cards in that
suit.
You may now f1nesse safely from
declarer's hand toward east, know
ing that hecan not lead hearts back

ObsesSion and Crime

Obsessions-many of them devel-
oped by mere brooding-are meas
urably responsible for the crime,
trouble and intolerance from which
we suffer.
The young man who shot General
Obregon seems to have had nothing
but an obsession for his excuse. He
brooded over a national problem
until the thought not only that 1t
was his own, but that he could
solve it by a murder or two.
He will be defended on the ground
Of insanity which is logical enough,
except that the type Of insanity
from which he suffered can be, and
generally is, self produced.
We mold our minds through hab-
its of thought, just as We can warp
our bodies through physical habits.

Paroled Prisoners

1t would be unfortunate if d system which
has merit and humanity should be discarded
because of the lax operation by those none too
carefully selected to administer it.
Yet this is what may happen to the parole
system if rage against the so-called crime
waves by paroled prisoners should put pressure
upon the next Legislature
The activities of one paroled prisoner, and
the manner in which he kept his liberty, in
dictate that the trouble is not with the system
but with those who have charge of it.
This paroled man, in very brief period of
time, committed at least fifteen robberies and
holdups. He has confessed, say the police, to
this number.
While he was at work on these crimes, the
city had all the appearance of being terrorized
by an army of thugs and criminals. 1t turns
out that there was just one bandit busy and
that what appeared to be "crime wave" was
the work of single individual.
That may suggest that it is not wise to
jump to conclusions about the prevalence of
crime. What half dozen of his ten
denotes and daring and zeal could do rather
staggers the imagination.
But this man happened to be on parole, free
on the theory that he had been reformed and
was again ready to take his place N society as
a useful member.
He reported regularly and the head of the
prison board, an appointee of Governor Jack
son, signed his reports each month while he
was busy at his burglaries, declaring that to his,
the trustee knowledge, the paroled man was
at work at a useful occupation and leading an
orderly life
Just what excuse any citizen could have
for turning in reports on paroled man with
out very definite knowledge of the facts is hard
to understand. For an official, the case is
worse.
The very theory of the law is that respon-
sible citizen shows some personal interest in the
paroled prisoner and vouches for his good con-
duct.
Under that system thousands of men who
have made mistakes have again found useful
places in society and have become decent citi-
zens.
That prison official so violently outrages
the theory of the parole system by personally
vouching for the good conduct of one viola
ror who was nightly stealing and robbing and
threatening human life demands more than
explanation. There should be some way Of
making officials and citizens alike understand
what the law means and what it intends. 1t
is certain that any official who acted as one
official did in this case ought not to be further
intrusted with it's enforcement.
The system has worked too we'll and ac
complished too much good to be jeopardized
by the continuance in its administration Of any
one who brings it into disrepute as has been
done in the case now before the public.

N mothers worry particularly
about measles. When children get
out Of doors and mingle with other
children, they are more easily ex-
posed to infection.
The exact cause of measles has
not yet been determined, although
it has been definitely proved for
this disease, as for infantile pa
ralysis, that the condition is infec-
tious.
Some investigators have found
bacterial organisms which they be-
ueve are responsible, and others
have asserted that the cause is a
virus smaller than the ordinary
germ.
None of these organisms or viruses
has been accepted by the majority
as representing the specific cause OF
measles.
In the meantime, various methods
Of prevention are being sought,
since the condition is widespread
and since the bacteria are in some
cases more serious than the disease
itself.

DIXON AND NATTER NEAR CRASH IN AIR

Groton. July IA Only by n superb exhibition of skill on the part of Lieut.. Carl NJ. Dixon of New Britain and the quick think ing of Lieut.. Osmond NJ, Mathe.' of Hartford was a head-on crash between two airplanes of the 4Srd Division air service averted here yesterday.
 Dixon. who had started out in un- favorable weather to fly to Block Island, was supposed to return to the camp here in time for break fast. When he did not return Math- CT left the field to find him. Flying low through the fog Mather sud denly sighted Dixon's plane directly in front of him and only about 100 feet distant, Dixon sighted the Mather ship at the same time {
 Two lightning quick right banks, executed by both pilots. saved their lives but the danger was not yet over. Unaware of Mather's inten- tion Dixon turned completely around 10 follow him at the same time that Mather turned to follow Dixon, Tine planes were again head ed straight for each other.
 A repetition of the same right banks occurred and the ships miss ed wings but by a few feet. This time. both pilots. knowing they did not know the intention of the other man steered clear of each oher and both made forced land ings.
 Dixon came down in an open lot near Watch Hill, R. l., and Mather landed immediately afterward on a beach near DiNon's ship, They waited for the weather to clear and then took off for the camp here which they reached without further incidents occurring,
 Both pilots were suffering under the strain of the two near collisions Their planes were not damaged by the emergency landings.
