MINNESOTANS ACTIVE
IN ROAD ASSOCIATION

Minnesota Highway officials are
taking a prominent part in the annual
convention of the American Associa-
ton of State Highway Officials
which is meeting this week at San
Antonio, Texas. Commissioner c. M.
Babcock is chairman of the executive
committee and the committee of ad-
ministration. j. T. Ellison, chief
Engineer, is member of the commit
tee on road construction. 0. L. Kipp,
chief construction engineer, is chair
man of the committee on road design.
w. F. Rosenwald, maintenance en-
gineer, is member of the committee
on traffic control and safety, M. j.
Hoffman, bridge engineer, is a mem
Der of the committee on bridges and
structures. F. c. Lang, engineer of
tests and inspection, is a member OF
the committee on materials.
The association of highway Off
Gals is a clearing house for highway
research and information for the en-
tire nation. 1t cooperates closely
with the U. S. Bureau of Public
Roads in collecting data on improved
road building methods. Only few
formal papers are presented at the
convention, most of the work being
done through committees.
From the reports submitted by the
various states, the association at
tempts to select the best policies and
practices and adopt them as stand
ard. The system of U. S. numbers
on interstate highways and the stand
ardization of warning signs and high
way markers are two examples OF
work done by the association. Signs
bearing U. S. numbers are now found
in all the states and all but one or
two have adopted the uniform warn
ing signs. In a similar manner paw
ing materials, bridge materials and
designs, and a number of other mat
tiers entering into road construction
are studied. In such matters as
signs and markers, the standards
adopted have proven great conven-
fence to the travelling public, while in
matters like materials and design OF
! roads and bridges, the work of the
association has probably resulted in
savings of hundreds of thousands OF
dollars.

won the fourth diamond trick in AS
hand, and, as Y has the king, it will be
captured. rs proper discard on this
trick is the deuce of spades, so that if
B leads the queen of clubs from AS
hand, Y can cover and thus make rs
jack of clubs good on the second round
of that suit. This seems like simple
play, but just watch how often players
will discard from jack small of suit
and thus fail to protect their partners
holding. Study this hand carefully until
you realize the necessity for holding
clubs.

figure out rs proper play.
He should first play out four rounds
of clubs. On the third club lead B
should discard the seven of hearts. On
the fourth club trick A should discard
spade, Y a diamond and B the trey of
diamonds.
Z should now lead the deuce of
hearts, play the ten from US hand and
B must win the trick with the queen.
B must now lead diamond or heart.
If the former, 2 lets the queen win in
Y's hand and then leads the Jack of
hearts. If B should lead back a heart
instead of a diamond, Z should let the
jack of hearts win in Y's hand and then
return the heart, capturing BIS king.
Played in this way, B must win a dia-
Inond trick. In any event, Z must score
at least three odd, game and rubber. II
IS pretty hand to play and one well
worthy of closest study.

CHICAGO STOCK SHOW
PLANS FULL PROGRAM

The essential wonders of the rural
world and that vast empire of valley

ledge of livestock in spirited compe-
tition.

still be in the spotlight, with the
state collegiate livestock judging
teams, and the Junior Live Stock

last years grand-champion steer
came, occupying the main program.
On this day and throughout the fol-
lowing, scoring of the hundreds OF
samples of the finest harvests of the
world, entered in the international
Grain and Hay Show will keep a
large staff of crops experts busy.

exposition in full stride. The judging
rings will be crowded with nomina-
lions for the highest honors of the
1929 livestock show season, including
Percheron and Shire horses and en-
tries in the fat classes of all breds.

ested in the time set for one or more
breed of stock, can obtain it by adj
dressing his inquiry to the exposition

Auction sales of breeding cattle
and fat stock will take place through

large audiences of interested on,
lockers in addition to buyers. Thurs
day and Friday will be the big fat
stock sale days, with the grand,
champion steer scheduled to go under

No score, rubber game. Z dealt, bid
one no trump and all passed. A opened
the ace of spades, Y played the deuce,
B the eight and Z the nine. The lead OF
an ace at a no trump bid asks for
partners highest card, so BIS play OF
the Ell ht indicated to A that B held no
higher spade.
2, however, was a clever player so
decided to deceive A, if possible. He
played the nine of spades so that A was
unable to determine where the trey of
spades was. If B held it, rs queen must
fall, so A led the king of spades. On this
trick, B should have discarded the ten
of diamonds, but he hated to discard
what appeared to be winning trick
so he discarded the four of clubs. AS a
result, A received no information as to
BIS strong suit and decided not to guess,
SO led the jack of spades, forcing Z in
the lead. B discarded the four of dia-
monds. Z can now score game against

No score, rubber game. z dealt and

liz had held three hearts or more. it
is more than probable that he would
have passed Y's two-heart bid. The
fact that he has bid two no trumps
probably indicates that he has only
two hearts. 1t is unlikely that he has a
singleton for, if he had, he would proba-
bly, not have bid a no trump in the first
place. Good players always avoid a no
trump bid if their hand contains void

suit or a singleton. The conclusion is,
therefore, that Z has exactly two hearts.
If A should play the queen of hearts,
therefore, all Z would have to do to
make four heart tricks would be to
refuse to win the first trick. Then as
soon as he obtained the lead, he could
lead his second heart, fnesse the Jack
and so win the next four heart tricks.
A can block this pretty little play,
however, by playing the seven of hearts
on the second trick. If z plays the jack
from US hand, it will win the trick. but
the only other heart trick he can win Is
the ace. A must win the third heart
trick and so blocks Y's heart suit as the
hand contains no re-entry card. This
play, also, looks simple, but notice how
frequently player will split his equals
when he can only lose by so doing.

B. holding the ace queen of diamonds

a high heart, to show his partner that
he has trick in the heart suit. What
should be his second discard?
If L discards club on this trick, B

AWAITS APPROVAL
Senate Committee Defers
Action on Nomination to Rail-
way Board of Mediation.

The Senate interstate commerce
committee deferred action today on the
nomination Of O. b. Colquitt, former
Texas governor, to be q member of
the Railroad Board of Mediation after
hearing him for a second time.
Colquitt was recalled by the COM
inittee after his previous confirmation
to answer testimony published in an
old law suit to the effect that the
Texas Brewers Association discussed
giving him loan of $4,000 in 1916.
when he was about to run for the
United States Senate.
THE breweries never contributed
cent to my campaign for the Senate in
1916" said Colquitt, land / never heard
of that SIS, 900 surplus of the brewery
association until this testimony was
published"
Senator Wagner, Democrat, New
York, pressed Colquitt to state if he
had made an answer to the testimony.
Colquitt said he had denied it repeat
edly in his primary campaign that year,
but he said his first knowledge of it
was after the suit was settled and the
testimony published.
Chairman Couzons read to the COM
mittee a telegram received by Senator
Connally, Democrat, Texas. from some
Texas State Senators protesting Col
quits nomination. Although Demo-
erat. Colquitt said he had fought the
nomination of Alfred Smith by the
Democrats and had campaigned for
Herbert Hoover.
He said the protest from the Texas
Senators was purely political" The
Texas telegram said Colquitt represent
ed no political group" and that his
Federal appointment was obnoxious"
The committee showed Colquitt q
publication containing testimony of
Otto Wahrmund, president of the San
Antonio Brewing Association in 1915, III
which he said that consideration was
given to loaning the brewer association
surplus of $4,000 to Colquitt. Colquitt
was then retiring as governor and was
about to run for the Senate.
Colquitt said the breweries opposed
his Senate nomination.
