Plain Creme IN VOque

Summary dresses, and thoroughly
up-to-date ones in their ways of
combining figured and plain ma
terials, are made of crepe de chine
or one of the several new silks,
printed in small patterns in several
different colors together. On these
bands Of plain crepe in the pre-
dominating color Of the print are
added, some in square, some in
straight lines closely spaced and
some in the newer treatment of
oblique lines.

Flowered chiffons and laceS are
rivals for favor in the mode for
summer, the former which had a
pronounced success last season,
coming back now in greater variety
of design and in enchanting colors.
In these both large and small pat
terms are good. All Of them are
softly graceful and feminine in tone.

What Is An Amateur?

The Tilden incident is one to help confuse the
ordinary lay citizen concerning the difference between
professional and amateur sportsmen. Tilden was dis
qualified by the National Lawn Tennis Association
because he wrote stories for publication about the
games and got paid for doing it.
The theory appears to be that to remain pure
amateur one must in no wise profit financially from
his experiences. He write all he pleases on any
subject except the one he knows the most about He
may work for living, to be sure, but there are few
jobs that permit man to take the time necessary
to become an expert like Tilden.
To carry the theory to its logical conclusion, an
amateur should have father -ich enough to allow
him to devote his life to play An uncomfortable con-
clusion is that no matter how promising a player
poor boy might be- he can't give time enough to prac-
tce to keep his hand in. He has to eat and to eat he
must work.
There is another uncomfortable conclusion II
young man is rich enough to play all his life and re-
main pure amateur, he hasn't time to become much
else except an amateur sportsman. When his play
ing days are over there won't be much to do or much
that he can do except putter around with his cham
pionship cups and medals
Well have to find some way to keep the road to
the top in amateur sports open to all who have the
skill to achieve eminence, whether not they are
born with silver spoons in their mouths.

Time for Men to Rebel

Whether man has a right to dress for comfort in
stead of the conventions in hot weather is being de-
bated earnestly in the New York Times
Woman, says devoted reader, has emancpated
herself in the matter of dress Now why not men?
may as little as she pleases and
show much as she pleases but man may not leave
off his coat when he goes to the bank or sits down
to lunch in a cafeteria. It's outrage
One reader suggests male costume of washable
short pants, light socks and shirt No vest. No
coat This is criticised by another who says experience
will show that Knockers and stockings hotter than
Stoveppe pants. Which is probably true unless silk
or rayon stockings introduced
Certainly an impractical idea is that of the CORE
spondent who suggests a holding up his socks by
attaching garter to his shirt There are several rea
sons why this does not appeal to us.
Of course, the rebels against the coat in torrid
weather are right. The male is just as presentabe
looking and is apt to be cool and clean looking
in shirt than in a coat-particularly wooden coat
We would stand out also for some modification Of
the collar and tie, or both. Collars are too high and
tight for hot weather Witness the style set by movie
directors of throwing away the tie and leaving the
top button of the shirt unbuttoned.
This style now prevails among the young sheiks Of
newspaper working force business office and edi-
toral 1t gets on the street some, but not generally
and never into hotels restaurants; and until and
unless style be carried into rst-class hotel
it isn't style.
The man who stands out for more practical pockets
outside of coasts right The drivers license and
door key and cigarettes and matches and fountain
pen, all must go along in safe captivity Little shall
low pockets in the shirt won't do. This is field for
the inventive tailor.
We would put in a word for short sleeves but
might compromise on a form of sleeve which would
stay up when urged to.
These are merely matters of detail. The outstand-
ing thing, of course, is for to take courage in
hand and show himself in his shirt when it's too
hot to wear coat.

How Smith Helped Hoover

Governor Smith has done Herbert Hoover great
favor He has made it easy for Hoover to keep him
self completely independent of organization that
has troubled Republican candidates plenty in the past
Thanks to Smiths declaration concerning the Vol
stead act the Anti-Saloon League has nowhere to
but to Hoover.
This means that Hoover is free to deal with these
fanatics of reform on his own terms. He won't have
to plead coax or kowtow. He won't have to tie him
self up with promises. He has freedom that Repub-
lican standard bearers of other years never knew
If Smith had not written his personal postscript
to the Houston plank prohibition, things might
have been different Then the professional political
preachers such as Bishop Cannon and DR.. Barton
could have undertaken to dicker with the Republican
candidate
They could have threatened to withhold their supS
port They could have exacted the privilege, once ex
ercised by Wayne Wheeler. of guiding the executive
hand in the White House.
But they can't
There is every reason to believe, of course, that
in Hoover the experienced high pressure workers of
the Anti-Saloon League have met man not to their
liking. Hoover's independence of mind is real
Wall Streets hostility, made plain in the pre-con-
vention campaign, was due to the feeling that, if
elected, he would be his own President, not Wall
Streets And he certainly is prepared to be indie
pendent of the Anti-Saloon League as he is of Wall
Street.

Bridge Play
Made Easy
BY w. W. WENTWORTH

queen; Jack; X-any card lower
than 10)
XXTHEN a flnesse fails to work do
w not be discouraged. Rest con-
tent with the knowledge that you
are playing correctly. No guaran-
tee goes with every attempt Of this
kind.
The law of probability favors it,
however, when played as shown in
the instances cited in this chapter.
If the reason for the method of
play for each instance is not APP
parent, reverse the procedure and
the logic governing the recon-
mended play will become quite
obvious.
You will find that when you re-
verse the method the probability of
making the trick not only
diminishes, but often vanishes.
Following are some instances when
a finese should be tried:
l. Dummy holding A @ j; Declarer,
2, 8. Three tricks may be made.
Declarer leads 2 and illnesses Jack.
Then he returns to his hand in
another suit and leads 3, fineSsing
Queen.
2. Dummy holds AK j; Declarer,
6, 5, 4. Three tricks may be made.
Declarer leads 4 and illnesses Jack.
4. Dummy holding A @ 10; De-
clarer 8, 5, 4. Two or three tricks
may be made. Declarer leads 4 and
illnesses 10. Then he returns to his
hand in another suit and lears D,
f1nessing Queen.
4. Dummy holding A j 10; De-
clarer, 4, 8. 2, two or three tricks
may be made. Declarer leads 2 and
illnesses 10. Then he returns to his
hand in another suit and leads 3,
f1nessing Jack.
5. Dummy holding K 9; Declarer,
7, 2. One trick may be made. De-
clarer leads 2 and illnesses King.
If West covers 2 with Ace, 8 is
discarded from dummy and King is
high. If east holds the Ace, the
finesSe fails but when the distrlbu-
ton is such, the King must be lost
no matter how it is played.
Leading from the dummy would
lose the King no matter which one
of the opponents held the Ace. The
finesse gives the declarer his only
chance of making the King good.
6. Dummy holding K @ 2; De-
clarer, 4, 3. Two tricks may be made
Declarer leads 8 and illnesses Queen,
Then he returns to his hand in
another suit and leads 4, f1nessing
King.

From the dummy the 4 is played
and declarer illnesses the Queen.

Up 100 Stories

A New York architect remarked the other day that
1oo-story office buildings will be relatively common
in few years.
From the structural viewpoint there probably
no obstacles It has been demonstrated pretty thor
oughly that designers make steel girders go to
almost any height.
But there are such grave objections to the 100
story skyscraper that doubt very much if it will
materalize.
Traffic congestion in our major cities is almost
unbearable even now monster building of 100
stories would treble it. 1t would concentrate too
many people in one spot The result would be an
addition to the traffic stream that would simply
paralyze things
Cities Of the future should aim at diffusion Of
downtown workers, not concentration. The lOO-story
skyscraper would be fine to look at but it would be
r. distinct menace to the city that built it.

Sentiment for Peace

The idea of international peace
through the orderly adjustment Of
national disputes did not make its
appearance until about 100 years
ago, and was not regarded as worth
serious consideration until about
thirty years ago.
Considering how universally war
was looked upon as the excuse for
national existence at the beginning
OF the nineteenth century, and
with what Scorn the suggestion that
it might be avoided was received, we
have made remarkable progress.
Probably no similar period in his
tory has witnessed such a change in
sentiment throughout the civilized
world.
Though craftsmanship is not to be
denied share of the credit for Gre
ating this revolution, improved
means of travel, the expansion of
trade and, above all else, those
agencies Of communication which
have done so much to make us ac-
quainted with each other are mainly
responsible.
We are in a mood to think Of
world peace because we have come
to realize the advantages of world
commerce. We are following the
same processes that influenced
primitive tribes to establish peace
in order to facilitate the exchange
OF commodities which they needed
and could get from each other.

Robinson and Rozelle

Senator James E. Watson has written a let
ter, it is announced, demanding thorough in
vestigation of Frank Rozelle and the charge by
Robert Hicks that he has conducted and is con-
Quoting mail order business that is fraud
ulent.
Senator Watson tells the Attorney General
that Rozelle should either be indicated or re-
moved from Office.
The other sponsor of Rozelle, Senator
Arthur Robinson, has also written letter. He
asks for no investigation of the charges against
the man be Endorsed. Instead he said that he
has every confidence in him.
The people can now place their own es-
innate, not only upon Rozelle, but upon Robin
son.
Decency would seem to demand, even if eau
ton did not suggest that Senator who placed
Rozelle in office make the demand which Wat
son voiced.
To stand by friends may be admirable
when friends are right. To keep in Office an
untitled person is different matter, especially
when that official has to do with the courts of
justice
Robinson does not seem to care. He appar
emily is ready to still stand sponsor for Rozelle
and wants no inquiry.
He runs true to form. Inquiries sometimes
develop things. The Black Boxes, for in
stance, were laughed at by those who had been
benefciaries of Stephenson. But when they
were found they disclosed letters of thanks for
pearl necklaces and other things that were not
pleasant.
The issue is now not only Rozelle, but Rob
inson as well. Watson has made it So

NNE of the most serious diseases
" menacing animals is foot and
mouth disease, a condition so Sc
rious that practically every civilized
nation in the world has appointed
a commission to investigate the
matter to determine methods of
control.
Indeed, hundreds of thousands OF
animals have been destroyed in an
effort to eliminate outbreaks of this
condition.
The United States Department OF
Agriculture appointed a commission
including representatives of the
Rockefeller Institute and of the Blu
reau of Animal Industry, as well as
of various universities, to study the
condition as it affects the European
countries, and to find means of con-
trolling it in this country.
Animals are apparently most
likely to spread this contagion in
the early stages of the disease. The
animals with the cloven foot are
most susceptible.
The danger of spread is averted
by prompt slaughter and disposal OF
bodies of animals that have been
attacked by the disease.
However, the virus may remain
alive for one or two months, and
even longer, after the death Of the
animal.
Frequently, therefore, when farms
are restocked, the new animals will
be promptly infected from the virus
remaining as a result of the
previous infection.

First according to the legend he hurled a great
stone at it. But the stone had no effect. Then he
hurled his javelin which pierced the monsters hide
The dragon rushed at him, breathing smoke and
fire from his nostrils.
Cadmus retreated, holding his spear before him
At last his chance came.
The monster, when his head near the trunk
OF great tree, opened his mouth wide.
Cadmus thrust his spear forward, pinnng the
dragon through his throat to the tree
Then the goddess Minerva commanded him to take
the teeth OF the dragon and them III the field
Immediately strange crop sprang up. Where each
tooth had been planted, an armed soldier grew out
of the ground.
At first Cadmus thought he would have to fight a
new crowd Of enemies. But the armed men took to
fighting with each other
They fought until only five remained alive These
five joined with Cadnus and helped him build the
city of Thebes.
Thebes was situated in the part of ancient Greece
known as Boetia. The city became the head of a
federation OF cities known the Boetotan league
During the between Sparta and Athens the
city first sided with Sparta, but later sympathized
with Athens.
Later Alexander destroyed the city It was rebuilt
but never gained its former prestige.

was once the acropolis OF ThebeS.

THE civilized world is about to

ME civilized WOIlQ Is dDOuC W
Il place itself on record as against
war. That is the significance of the
Kellogg treaty. At first glance it
seems absurd to undertake the out
having of war without law, but it
would be vastly more absurd to I'M
dertake the writing of such law un-
til the right kind of sentiment had
been formed to back it up.
AS a general proposition, men
have to agree that a thing ought
to be done before they are ready
to do it. This is especially true if
the thing happens to be Of revolu-
tionary Importance, and no one can
regard the outlawing of war as
otherwise than that.
War has been woven into the edu-
cational system of this world as
the chief reason for national ex-
istence. Children everywhere have
been taught to regard their respec-
tive governments as essential agen-
cies of defense.
Possible enemies and invasions
have been held up to them as lurk-
ing beyond every horizon. Their
flags, traditions and military estab-
lishments have been glorified as
guarantees Of safety. Those of their
ancestors who took part in battle
have been exalted as the highest
type of citizens.

What does a grand jury do and
how does it differ from a petit

The function OF a grand jury is
not to establish guilt or innocence,
but to ascertain from the testimony
given before it whether the suspi-

evidence is sufficient to bring the
accused person to trial; in which
case it hands down an indictment.
The trial is conducted in open
court before petit jury, which as
sists the court in deciding questions
of fact in civil and criminal cases.

ing familiar with the wayside
traveller who asks for a ride.
Sometimes in the evening such
pedestrians will disconcert one on
lonely roads by making an arrest
ing gesture.
Begging a ride is becoming quite
common. Very often the driver
cannot check his speed till it is
too late to answer the pedestrians
appeal. Men with good intentions
are often in doubt as to whether
they should accept these passen-
gers, and there are severalsreasons
why it pays to be careful.
The driver of an auto has a
right to be suspicious of men who
spring from the dark into the
glare of the headlights and motion
for a ride. Often the s.ction closely
resembles a holdup and such men
should receive no consideration.
The night is no time TO make such
requests.
1t should be remembered that
taking passengers is a risky busi-
ness. If the guest is injured he
may sue the owner Of the car for
damages.

HSmpered by Suspicion

While commerce and statesman
ship viSualized the necessity of
enlarging the areas of peace and do
ing everything possible to eliminate
war, and while war proved its
devilishness by growing more and
more horrible, the people were still
in no frame Of mind to take such
action as was necessary.
First, they had to be sure that
they were in moral accord, that the
thought of renouncing war was not
too local and idealistic for trans
latlon into practical form.
Much as the people of any par
ticular country might want to re-
nounce war, they were afraid to do
so until they convinced themselves
that the people of other countries
felt the same way.
That is where the kellogg treaty
comes in. 1t represents a way in
which the sentiment can be recorded
and crystalized.
Suspicion, more than anything
else, has stood in the way of
effective measures for inter-
national peace since the World War
Though people everywhere are
willing to approve the principles on
which the League of Nations was
established and the objects it was
designed to attain, they have
labored under too great a distrust
of each other to commit themselves
whole heartedly.
The set-up required that we go
back and adopt some kind of
method to put the world on record,
and that is what Secretary Kellogg

passed through the highly infec-
tious stage.
During this period every animal
in the herd becomes a source Of
danger.
1t is for this reason that author
tiles are agreed that it is only by
prompt slaughter of every animal
that may possibly be infected
through contact with the disease
that the condition can be Grad
icated.
Heretofore in the United States
where this method has been fol-
lowed, this disease has not been
prevalent at all in comparison to
it's occurrence in continental Eu-
ropean countries where slaughter
has been practiced with hesitation.

Accept Kellogg Pact

The Kellogg treaty is acceptable
because it expresses a universal
desire, without exposing people to
universal force, because it leads, in
stead of driving them, because it
puts them on their honor and de-
ponds on their good faith. People
are quite as much opposed to CO.
ercion as to war.
AS a matter of common sense, the
two go together. They see little
gain in substituting worldwide
dictatorship for international strife.
What they want is relief from
all kinds of arbitrary compulsion.
If they are to trust, they want to
be trusted, and if they can live
without the protection of national
armies and navies, they see no need
of world armies and navies.
To put it bluntly, peace, whether
on tribunal, national or world
wide basis, presumes that the ma
jority of people have sense enough
to be decent, on their own account.

disinfected under official veterinary
supervision before they are re-

The most serious stage for trans
mission Of the infection with this
disease, as with many human dis
eases, is the acute stage.
When animals first are infected,
the disease spreads among them
rapidly.
However, it frequently takes
from one to several weeks before
all of the animals in a herd have
contracted the disease and have
