OPPOSITION TO
HOOVER PERILS
C. 0. P. CHANCE
Dawes, LOWden Threaten to
Split Party; Forces Cal
to Secretary.
BY RAY TUCKER

WASHINGTON, April 19.-Rec-
ignition of Herbert Hoover as Ad-
ministration's presidential candidate
was forecast today as President
Coolidge's answer to the large scale
attack on some of his major poll
cies launched on Capitol Hill by the
Dawes-Lowden forces
The tactics of the anti-Hoover
group in Congress will force not
only Coolidge but also Secretary
Mellon into the Hoover camp, ac-
cording to predictions by observers
CT the pending struggle. Neither
the President nor the Secretary of
the Treasury is expected to feel
kindly toward the Illinois men now
bent on scrapping the last impor-
tant legislative program Coolidge is
expected to sponsor.
Seek Presidents Veto
In framing farm relief. flood con-
troll and tax reduction bills which
the President has said he would
veto, the Dawes, Lowden spokes-
men make little secret of their de-
sire to prevent the Presidents re-
nomination and to weaken the Hoo
yer candidacy in the West and
South.
This coalition strategy Is designed
to embarrass Hoover by framing
legislation which the Administra-
ton of which he is a part cannot
ACCEPT. The Dawes-Lowden groups
will then raise the cry that vetoes
of these proposals have so weakened
Hoover in the farm and flood States
and business circles that his nomi-
nation will mean defeat in Novem-
Der.
In his recent criticism of the
farm and flood bills, President Cool
idge is believed to have given warm
ing that he is awake to this politi-
cal maneuvering.
G. .. =. Leaders Alarmed
But the Dawes-Lowden Repre-
sentatives in Congress are deliber-
ately neglecting these warning sig
nails and steering three DIS 10 Ine
White House in the hope that they
will be well vetoed.
Even Republican leaders not list
ed for Hoover are beginning to feel
that this policy may mean party
suicide. They point out that the
G.. o. P. must seek a return to
power on the basis Of the Coolidge
record. and that for any faction to
cast discredit upon it is to subordi-
nate party welfare to personal am
bition
The result will be, it is predicted,
to make Hoover the only available
nominee if the Republicans are to
ask vote of confidence on the ba-
sis of Coolidge accomplishments in
Office.

OLDEST SCIENCE
SOCIETY IN u, S.
HOLDS MEETING
Organization Founded by
Franklin ConVenes on
Historic Site.

PHILADELPHIA, April 10. -
Americas oldest scientific society,
founded in 1877 by Benjamin
Franklin as an informal gathering
of his friends, begins its annual
meeting today in the same home
that it occupied in pre-revolutionary
days, when Franklin was president.
This is the American Philosophical
Society, whose meeting place is in
historic independence Square, in
the same group Of buildings as In
dependence Hall, where the Declar-
alton of Independence was signed,
and where the Liberty Bell is pre-
served. The meeting room itself is
filled with paintings and other relics
of former officers and members,
back to F'ranklin's time.
AS modern astronomers tell of
the latest discoveries in the eXplora-
ton of the universe, there stand at
one side the telescopes used by
David Rittenhouse, pioneer Ameri-
can astronomer. With one Of these
he observed the transit of Venus,
that occurred in 1859, from a plat
form especially erected for the pur-
pose almost under the windows Of
the meeting room. Seven years
later this same platform was used
when the Declaration of Indepen-
dence was first read in public.
The countrys leading scientists
now are in Philadelphia to attend
the meeting, which continues until
Saturday. This afternoon DR.. Daniel
T. MacDougal of the Carnegie In
stitution's Desert Laboratory, is
scheduled to tell the members of
his study of individual plant cells
that live for hundreds of years. DR..
Alfred Hess, New York vitamin
specialist, will tell of God Liver Oil
and the Cod" and how his studies
may be of value in treating chill
dren's diseases. Evolution will be
discussed tomorrow in a session pre-
sided over by Prof. Henry Fairfield
Osborn, president of the American
Museum of Natural History.

MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE
BY MOLLIE MERRICK.

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, December 20.-
The lot of an extra player in Hollywood
these days is bearable only by reason
of the fact that shopkeepers have aug
mented their sales stats for Christmas
shopping.
Talkies have virtually eliminated
spectacles with great mob scenes, and
influenza has paralyZed studio activ1-
ties to such an extent that works l1mpS
along. A complete cast cannot be got
together, one or another of the players
or directors suffering from the malady.
If the talkie craze progresses with
importations from stageland being
made at the rate they have been for the
past six weeks. there will be a general
demotion all through movie ranks.
Players who styled themselves "bit"
artists and strictly differentiated them
selves as being in cast far above the
extra" will be grateful to do extra
work while waiting for the bit parts
to come along. The extra will have to
fade out, being recruited from ranks OF
part-time workers, as large percentage
of them are now.
The extra" as a profession rarely
furnished more than four days work
each week. These were the most for
tunate members with years of expert
ence. The average extra was lucky If
he or she got one or two days. The
extra of tomorrow will find employment
such haphazard thing that 1t will be
wise to look about for a good old-fash-
ioned job.
Why doesn't Joe Schenck, one of the
most astute men concerned with this
business of motion picture making, go
in for talkies?
Mr.. Schenck says talkies are the
bunk. (He said it more elegantly than
that, but it had the same stingo)
And he is launching Lupe Velez, Jetta
Goudal and a supporting cast in new
picture without dialogue sequences.
Hooray!
But why? There is talk to the effect
that the ladies' accents didn't jibe and
couldn't be made to. Their DISPOSE
tionS didn't when the picture was being
made.
william j. Locke tells me that he has
been ordered to write story for Norma
Talmadge without thought of a talkie
angle. It is going to be a genuine mo-
ton picture In every sense of the word.

Every bid In contract has meaning.
A bid of one shows better than average
strength; bid of two shows pow
erful hand: a bid of three or more
shows length with six or more cards
in the suit bid.
Every no trump bid Is made with the
expectation of playing the hand at no
trumps; every major suit Is bid with
the expectation Of playing the hand at
that major suit. But every minor SUIT
is bid with the expectation that the
nartner will shift the bid, not raise it.
What. then, Is the difference between
a major and minor suit bid OF one?
Only this-the suit itself need not hold
as great strength as should be held IN
a major. What is the difference be-
tween a major and a minor suit bid OF
two? None-they both show strength
throughout the hand as well as one
quick trick in the suit bid. What Is
the difference between three bid OF
a major and minor? There Is
major shows length-a. six or seven
card suit, with or without top honors.
A minor three bid shows lengta and
top honors-ace, king, queen, q Set-up

There Is convention that has re-

who modified the foreign game of

tract score. 1t is he who has inaugu-
rated the bid Of zone club" as first

four quick tricks. I hold probable

also have values. On my next bid
will show you where this strength lies.
My club bid is merely to forewarn you
of my great strength and to ask you
if your hand is above average"
If the second hand pass, the partner

bid indicating where this strength lies;
| holding less than two quick tricks, he
must deny top strength by bid OF zone

hold, for example, seven spades to the

must bid zone diamond" The hand
does not contain two quick tricks, and

can be shown only on the subsequent

cars now, and our fur coats, too. We
like to take vacations in Winter and
Summer and we like to travel.
But our likings and desires are al
ways boundleSs, and to succumb to one
is to make ones self more susceptible
to the following temptation.
It is unnatural and difficult for youth
to think of death. In the flush OF
youth and health we think of death as
something distant and unreal. We
never think of death as something al
ways imminent in the speed and whirl
of our lives.
Why save, or take out insurance, or
put aside property, when my husband
and I are young and healthy?" Well,
young woman, death plays no favorites,
and often our best intentions have not
time to bear fruit. What is done at
once is done for all time, what is post
poned may never occur.
Not every woman who does not save
now will know need at some future
date. But it will not be her fault il
she does not. 1t would be foolish and
pessisimiStic to predict dire things for
all who procrastinate It Is honest and
accurate, however, to predict uncertain
futures for them and theirs.

that costs somewhat more, such as
holly with berries, mistletoe and bay
berry, with their Splashes Of color and
contrast
If one has an auto and can get
into the country, and gather pine
cones from under some branching tree,
these can be painted with gold, bronze
or other metal paints, or with red
and other brilliant oil colors. No OBJ
lection to gathering pine cones from
wooded sections would arise, although
gathering sprays Of green from the
trees would not be right without per-
mission from the authorities.
The metal paints will dry immedi-
ately: but the oils will require more
time. After the cones, or pods, that
can thus be made ornamental, such
as milk weed pods, are colored, they
can be given stems by twisting one
end of rather stiff wire through and
about the lower part of cone, leaving
an end of several inches Pods may
not need wire stems, but can be
bound by wire in position among the
green's. It is for this purpose that the
wire stems to cones are needed, as
we'll as to make them stand upright
in baskets and bouquets. Tiny cones
in red are like wee flames Of torches,
or resemble candles, according to the
way they are used
Grasses can be dipped in red or
other stain, to supply color. Popped
corn also can be so stained and a
single kernel tip an end of wire, or
five can be arranged about central
kernel like a futuristic flower. 1t will
be remembered that such use OF cram
berries has been mentioned.
The woman who delights in hand
some and attractive Christmas dec
orations is sure to welcome a gift of
Christmas greenery, for there is never
an oversupply However much she
may have, there is always some spot
that can be made gay and festive by
the addition of such appropriate dec
orations.
