First, there are the perambulating
sellers of books and lottery tickets con-
costing the street corners and sidewalks.
We recommend to those interested in
this business that they repair to places
of public resort, and, taking up their
station. reach much larger and re-
SponSive clientele than is to be found
among those hurrying through the
streets to keep important engagements
Public autobusses, which look like old

DiSpensaries of cooling drinks, where
glasses are washed indifferently or not

out in Glasgow. In the first instance,

to men and women of known ability and
service. The former Sunday services
will be substituted with lectures and adj
dresses on matters social and physical,
as well as spiritual. These speakers
will also discuss, some of them, educa-
tional topics. Sacred concerts and
dramas that are inspiring and instruc-
tive also will be given in the church.

ChrOmite Imports.

THE chromite industry of the United States
wasn't much to brag about in 1928. but in
1929, in a Nation which delights in doing
things in big way, it was almost embarraSs-
ing. The 1928 production was $50 tons, and
this dwindled the following year to $50 tons,
with a value OF $3,226 The imports for 1929
set a record for all time, totaling 317,630 tons,
worth 2,666, 4S8, more than two-thirds of which
came from Africa, with Cuba, French Oceania
and Greece supplying the remainder.

side is two tricks for it's first revoke,
one trick for each subsequent revoke.
Thus the penalty in either of the above
cases would be three tricks, which would
be taken from the pile of tricks won by
the offending side and added to the pile
won by the other side; they count for
the latter exactly as if won in play. If
the revoking side does not have enough
tricks to pay the penalty it merely sur
renders those it does possess; If 1t have
none there is no penalty.
In contract the revoke penalty is two
tricks for the first revoke by any player
and 100 points in the honor score for
each subsequent revoke by the same
player. In both cases given each partner
makes one revoke, costing two tricks
each, or total Of four tricks, counting
for the other side exactly as if won in
play. If the revoking side have not
enough tricks to pay the full penalty the

South, of course, opens with one heart,
in every system. West has the big prob
lem of this hand. He wants to show his
partner desire to play the hand in hearts,
but bid of two hearts would convey no
such information in contract; it would
have conventional meaning of indicat-
ing game likelihood in some other
declaration and compel partner to take
the bid out. Even a rebid Of hearts after
partners takeout wound not show the
wish for a heart trump, but quite the
contrary. 1t would signal slam, ratify
the partners choice Of declaration and
proclaim lack of any losers in the heart
Suit-perhapS a void suit
There is one way only Of making plain
to partner the desire to play the hand
at hearts-a bid of one more than neceS-
sary, or three hearts. Since a two bid
would be the conventional forcer, three
bid could be nothing but pre-emptive in
nature, showing the extremely freaky
situation that exists. After North'S pass
East would be justified in showing his
diamonds with bid of four diamonds,
his partner taking the call to game bid
in hearts, or he could bid the four hearts
himself, knowing his partner does not
need trump support.
When this hand was actually played
the partner went directly to the four
hearts on his side strength, and the
contract was made, the opponents
winning only one spade, one heart and
one diamond

ANCti0n Problems.

WHAT would you lead from the fol-
lowing hand against a dealers
original bid of one no trump? OF one
spade? One heart? One diamond?
q AK1OO Vss52 A43a AQa
Against a no trump original bid the
correct lead is the ten of spades. A fourth
best lead is not conventional when
an honor combination" is possessed
at least three CT the six top cards of the
suit, OF which at least two are touching.
Then the correct lead is the top of the
touching honorS, unless the tOuchers
Led include the ace and king, when the
king Is led. This hand contains two
sets Of touching honors, and the king
would not be the correct lead unless
there were a sure side entry also.
With spades trumps we have the
logical lead of the longest side suit when
possessing four or more trumpS, 50 the
2 OF hearts would then be right.
With hearts as trumpS, four being
held, spade is the proper lead, the king

The king of spades would also be the

It's not so good TO be outdoors
When streets are thick with Sleet and snow
And note the cOzy happy homes
And see the hearty f1reside glow
And CHEEKY groups Of friends and kin
All playing bridge and having fun.
With buOyant hearts and carefree minds
The while his work has Just begun.
Next time you have losing game
And all the hands are running bad
And every play you try goes wrong
Until you think you're going mad
Perhaps you'll find it helps you some
No matter how your cards may go,
To wonder if you'd rather be

Eight o'clock tonight at Central
Opera House, 9th st. and Third

held to protest the arrests of the
delegates elected by 10000 workers
on March 6, International Unem-

will be Robert Minor, I. Amter

r. Shohan and others.
The trial of the unemployed dele

lends great Importance to this dem
onstration. Workers organizations
are urged to send as many of their
members as possible to the demon
stration tonight, and to bring with
them banners and placards bearing
their demands. Some representa-
tives of these organizations will
speak.
The district buro of the Commu-
mist Party, in statement issued
yesterday, pointed out "that far
from abating the terror against the
workers being carried on by Wha-
lens cossacks and all the other muir
derous agencies of the capitalist
class, it is in fact increasing. The
clearest evidence of this is the case
of the shooting of an anti-fascist
worker by one of Whalen's stool
pigeons only few days ago. AL.
though the demonstration was held
under the auspices of a group of
social-fascists who themselves are
not against fascism but are in fact
supporters of it, yet the militancy
of the workers aroused the police
into carrying through this bloody
act"

More than three months of naval

America and Japan are about to

the competition between their ma

At the same time, while the an

perialist powers have clearly sharp
ened the secret efforts to bring
about an effective anti-Soviet front
are still going strong.
Back home, meanwhile, the Amer
lean imperialists are investing heavy
sums to "place this country in a
position to compete with foreign ma
tons in the air." A senate COM

in which the lieutenant admitted
that for five years he had conducted
