The ErrOr-DeClarer plays queen
of clubs from Dummy.
The Correct Method-Applying
the rule of eleven, Declarer knows
East can hold only one card in the
club suit and it is higher than 6 of
clubs. If a finesse is taken and
East obtains the lead, he will in
all probability lead hearts. Oppo-
nentS will make five tricks in that
suit, leading spades thereafter so
that the Declarer will be set. De-
clarer should win the first trick
with ace of clubs and return to his
hand with diamond. Then, lead
ing clubs again and finessing ac-
cording to the card played by West,
at least two tricks will be made in
clubs, six tricks in diamonds and
at least one in the other suits, so
that game is safely made.
The Principle-Never finesse be-

CHAPTER XXI

HELLO, DR.. Nelson! McNIann
AZ speaking" the detective ser
geant greeted the medical examiner
on the other end of the wire
whats the dope?. :. Fine! And
can you tell me any more definitely
when death occurred? l.. HIM!
Close enough, I guess! Let's see
that places the murder between two
and four o'clock Saturday, eh? ;. i.
Thanks, doc!"
McMann hung up the receiver
and faced the couple who waited,
scarcely breathing.
well, Hayward, I don't think
you'll be surprised to learn that the
bullet which killed Harry Borden
was the regulation bullet for Colts
SO caliber automatic. Anything to
say, now, my lad?"
"Nothing-except that did not
kill Borden and have no idea who
did" Jack Hayward answered
steadily.
Mr.. McNann. please don't forget
that my gun was exactly like Mr..
Hayward's-a Colts 3S, and that it,
too, is missing" Ruth begged
earnestly.
Cant you see that if Jack had
had killed Mr.. Borden he would not
have disposed of my gun as well as
his own, because he would know
that the absence of my pistol would
make suspicion fall on me?"
Again that CLEAN of admiration
in the detectives grim gray eyes.
"Covey, this his Colby Testers
daughter" he remarked, with a
grin, to his subordinate.
"a chip off the old block, Ell?
Now, Miss Lester, there's just
one more question for the present;
did you yourself dispose of your
pistol, either before the crime on
/ Saturday, so that it would not be
available if Hayward forced his way
into these Offices anG quarreled with
Borden, or this morning after your
discovery Of the body, to confuse
the investigation with two missing
pistols?
Just minute, please! I'm ask
ing that question of the daughter
of Colby Lester, the finest and most
honorable criminal lawyer it has
ever been my privilege to know"
Color swept from Ruths throat
/ to the fringe of curls on her fore
head as she drew her small BODY
very erect and faced McMann with
wide, unf1inching blue eyes.
Mr.. McMann, / swear on the
name of my dead father. who taught
me truth and honor-I did lot
/ touch the gun, 1 did not remove it,
/ for any reason whatsoever. from my
/ desk, and l do not know where it

McMANN gazed keenly into her
I'VE eyes as she swore her solemn
oath, then beckoned Covey to his
side The two men conversed in
whispers for minute or two, while
Euth and Jack retreated, hand in
hand, toward the front windows.

We pass over much afforesta-

spread on the ripening corn

tied down to slumber, are rudely
awakened, and flutter heavily
from the trees. Two wild boars
are wandering among the open
timber.

In places. the birch trees edge
the coniferous forests, their sill

air, of tall slim giant girls,
wearing lace pantaloons.
The cultivated fields, in vari-
Gus tones and shades, spread
out like a multicolored carpet,
upon which we ride, slipping
from pattern to pattern as we
go. Three red deer race for
cover. They passed a felled
and stripped forest. The tree
trunks, long poles, look like pins
on velvet cushion.
We are now over a wide cul-
tivation of billions of cabbages,
potential sauerkraut.

An Unidentified Town

quaint old walled town. None
of us knows its name. More
forests, less dense. Three sun
dry colored wild boars are rush
ing headlong, stumbling into
one anOCner.
Now we are passing over Nu-
remberg. Caterpillarlike trains
are scurrying toward the town.
Handkerchiefs flutter from the
windows. Startled, two oxen
drawing a wagon, bolt headlong
with the two men shouting. The
wagon overturns in a gutter.
Flocks of great white geese
waddle unhurriedly over dark
green fields; some flocks are
shepherded by boys. Linen

pected, only two airplanes
coming up to greet US.
Stettin, over which we just
passed, is a striking town when
viewed from the air. The
streets radiate from a central
circle in a geometrical design
and the town seems to spend
itself naturally at the limits.
Wind Velocity Varies
The wind has been varying
from IL to 20 miles an hour.
We got under the clouds at
$500 feet near the German
Polish frontier, where extensive
forests mingle with the culti-
waited land.
Poland is sparsely populated
and has very bad roads-at
least, that is the impression
from the air. The general pow
erty is noticeable. There is no
machinery and every farm has
its horsepower plant. Large
groups of women are at work IN
the fields.
Danzig's welcome was stu
pendous. Airplanes greeted US
and the factory sirens screeched
us in and out of the city.
Flags and handkerchiefs were
flung to the breeze, and the
curious shaped cathedral seemed
to stretch out its towering spire
in greeting.
At 4:30 this morning, the
Graf Zeppelin was walked rap
idly- across the landing field.
Four minutes later we were
rising beautifully from the
hangar.
Using Five Motors
We are using five engines
and burning gasoline for the
first three hours. There's a
light wind on the starboard
quarter. The speed over the
ground is about 65 land miles
an hour. Gas bags are tightly
filled and overflow as we rise.
We are over the hills quickly.

The Amateur Athletic Union of the
United States today unloosed a
broadside against Charles w. Pad.
dock, the California sprinter, in the
form Of an answer to his attack
on amateur athletics and the
Amateur Athletic Union. Paddock s
criticism appeared in an article
published in national magazine.
Avery Brundage, president of the
A. A. u, issued a Statement in
which he declared Paddock's article
us filled with inaccuracies and
untruths, and is sensationalism of
the rankest Sort
Brundage said that Paddock,
through the article over his own
signature, admits that he has been
sailing under false colors and never
mas been an amateur honestly,
actuated solely by the love of the
game"
1T seems unfair" continued
Brundage, for Paddock, who has
made SO much money from the lec-
ture platform, the movies and the
magazines. while eluding athletic
authorities and keeping his amateur
standing, to couple himself with
poor Joey Ray and unfortunate
Charles Hoff, who were so unsuc-
cessful in their attempt to make a
living from amateur athletics and
were declared professionals.
"Paddock's article is filled with
inaccuracies and untruths, is sensa.
tlonallsm of the rankest sort and is
just what might be expected from

with efforts to cash in on his ath.
letic prowess regardless of the

BANKS LINE UP
FORF|GHT

A legislative battle bringing into
conflict state and national banks
with Congress in the role of umpire
appeared inevitable today as a re-
suit of the disclosure that there have
been serious defections from the
national banking system involving
billion and a half dollars drop in
resources of the national banks in
the past year.
The national system showed a re.
duction of 80 banks between March
and June and drop of 1856 institu.
tions in a year. While many of the
banks dropping out resulted from
mergers and failures, the decrease
due to surrender of national for
state charters was sufficient to
cause officials grave concern. Most
of the reduction in resources came
from defections, a number of big
banks having dropped out.
The congressional fight will re.
volve chiefly around the question OF
extension Of branch banking, Two
schools of thought appear both in
administration and congressional
circles, one favoring keeping branch
banking within its present limits
or even curtailing the privilege. and
the other advocating expansion,

the force of this typhoon will be en-.

There was much disappointment
among Soviet officials here when
DIR. Eckener advised that he would
not pass over the city. The off
cials realized, however, that the Zep-
pelin could not be expected to chance
running into a storm in order to
visit the city.
Nothing Amiss
The direct messages received here
from the Graf set at rest rumors in
circulation that something was amiss
aboard the airship. The rumors fol-
lowed inability of several European
radio stations to pick up the Crafts
messages, owing to local weather
conditions.
The Zeppelins first days journey
on the second leg of her flight was
one of smooth precision. She started
on a northern course, veering due
east when near the Baltic Sea, then
again following a northeasterly
course over Lithuania and Latvia,

If she continues at her present

Of poor"
WOMAN FOUND

In the cluttered squalor Of a
dilapidated old homestead in the
1900 block of Thirty-fifth st. N. W.,
has been unearthed hoard of gold
which, for weeks, has made a gang
of negro vandals the pride and
envy of Georgetown's darktown.
Only a year ago Miss Emily Ma
gruder, 80, owner of the house
which is now yielding a treasure
in gold, silver and bills to the
police, was carried from it to round
out her feeble life in the District
poorhouse at Blue Plains. Then it
was thought that the aged spinster
was poverty-stricken.
Lived In Poverty
Now she lies on a bed in the in
firmary of the poorhouse while
police are seeking to unravel the
tangled skein of life which caused
her to lead the existence of one
destitute while she had at least
hundreds and probably thousands of
dollars in cash under her finger
tips.
Suspicious of neighbors Of the
old house were aroused when they
frequently saw colored persons en-
tering and leaving it. The house
has been abandoned since Miss
Emily left it. The neighbors in
formed police and Detective Norman

cation they rounded up dozen
colered men, all but seven of whom
We're released. They are held for
further inquiry.
Fully Furnished
Entering the house, said to be
one of the oldest in the city, police
found it literally full of furniture.
The walls were covered with
paintings, every available foot Of
floor space was occupied by furni-
ture, some of it so old as to make
it antique, and everywhere the dust
of years and the litter of a house
fallen to decay. Part of the roof
had collapsed and the walls bulged.
But, behind nearly every picture
and stuck into nearly every piece Of
furniture the officers found coins
and bills. A preliminary investiga-
ton revealed more than $500, and
police believe there is considerable
more. They are planning to in
vestigate an old well. in which it is
reported there lies a chest contain
ing thousands of dollars.
Miss Emily. sole survivor of the
old Magruder family of George
town, lived the last years of her
life in the dilapidated house alone.
