KINDERGARTEN
GUT FOUGHT

Characterizing the House
amendment for transfer of kinder.
garten teachers to the elementary
schools as educationa1ly unSound,
two members Of the Board of Edu.
cation yesterday appeared before
the Senate subcommittee of the
District Appropriations Commit
tee, to register opposition to re-,
duction of the kindergarten sys
tenn.
The provision, opposed by Mrs.
Henry Grattan Doyle and Henly
Gilligan, board members, provides
that for the next fiscal year va
cancels in the first four grades
of the elementary schools shall
be filled from the kindergarten
staff rather than by new appoint
rents.
At a recent meeting Of the
board o motion to have commit
tee from the Board register oppo.
sition to the measure was lost
when the vote resulted in a tie,
and Charles F. Carusi. board
president, suggested that those
opposed t. the measure appear
individually and present their
views to the Senate group.

MOVE THREATENED To FORCE
CONGRESS VOTE ON PENSIONS

scope of the present congressional
policy of awarding compensation
to veterans would be enlarged by
providing that all disabilities Of
more than 10 per cent apparent
before January l, 1925, shall be
presumed to be service connected.
The Rankin bill changes the date
tc January /, 1880.
$40 to $50 a Month
The Swick bill would keep in
tact the present system. but in
addition would provide pensions
of $40 to $50 a month to veterans
for disabilities, regardless of
whether they were incurred in the
war.
Representative Fitzgerald RO
of Ohio is proposing a compromise
in the bitter struggle over the
johnson bill under which men
wounded in battle in France would
be paid bonus disability compen-
sation of 10 per cent. and disabili.
ties occurring before January 1,
1880, would be considered service
connected but allowed only so per
cent of the payments made to vet
Grams disabled in actual service.

NOT.YET
COMPLETED

LONDON, April 18 QN.S0-
While the naval treaty is virtually
completed, there are still two
points unsettled and these will be
discussed today.
One point involves how to pro-
vide a clause forbidding signatory
powers from building for non-sig-
natory powers submarines Of more
than 1000 tons, the maximum size
provided in the treaty.
The other point involves the
time the treaty is to become effec-
tive.
The objection of Britain and
America to the French idea is that
it might involve either of them be-
coming bound before Japan.
Representatives of the five pow
ers will reconvene, it was said to-
day, as soon as Britain, France
and Italy have reached an agree
ment on their figures.

The House was confronted to-
day with threats by its pensions
committee to force vote on a
pension system for World War
veterans if the johnson or Rankin
bills, increasing the present COM
penSation payments by 100000
600 a year or more, fail to pass.
A widespread sentiment for
adoption of at least a partial
system became apparent in the
wake of the threat of Representa-
tive Knutson .(RD of Minnesota,
chairman of the pensions COM
mittee.
predictions were freely made
by members that Congress is
heading straight for pensions as
the House resumed its fight on
the johnson bill.
Ready to Report
The pensions committee, Knut-
son announced, is ready to report
out the bill of Representative
Swick (R.) of Pennsylvania,
which, it is estimated. would
affect a million men and women
and involve an expenditure of
$125, O0O, 900 a year for the next
five years.

BEER

HARTFORD, Conn. April Ia
G.N.S0 .-Etherized beer, bay rum
and Jamaica ginger are listed as
among the connections that the
old soldiers in the Fitch home at
Noroton Heights drink when they
are on leave, according to a state
mert here today by B. M. Holden,
chairman of the State commits
sion in charge of the home, fol-
lowing the dismissal Of Arthur e.
Bennett, executive officer at the
home, after an open investigation
held in the capitol here.
Stressing the point that the
hearing yesterday was mot a
liquor investigation" Holden said;
at is a condition which
exists because Congress has
tried to take care Of inherent
deficiencies in human nature,
and unfortunately the problem
thereby presented is ours and
not one for Congress.
'Tt is simply the condition
prevalent among people of Con.
necticut who do not appreciate
the danger when they drink
those c0ncOctiOnS which they
would not drink If they could
get a decent glass of beer or
any liquor purchased legiti-
mately. 1t is another evidence
that Congress cannot supply
the defects in human nature"

STOCKS IRREGULAR
T in SELLING ATTACK
Market SeesaWs During Day,
With Gains and Losses
in Narrow Range.
BY CLAUDE A. JAEGER,
Associated Press Financial Writer.

NEW YORK, May 22.-Professional
traders again struggled unsuccessfully
against a wall Of speculative inertia IN
today's stock market. Trading during
e. early hours Of the session was evens
lighter than yesterday and, save for a
few volatile issues, stocks were disin-
clined to move much in either direction.
The professional element Of late finds
itself unable to start any substantial
wave Of selling by taking the short
side and fails to attract following on
the long side. Today's trading was typ
ical of that of other recent sessions.
Floor traders went heavily short OF
Case during the first hour, sending 1t
down more than 10 points, and mildly
unsettling the entire list, but around
midday large-scale buying OF General
Motors, attributed In brokerage circles
to a large operator now working from
the other side of the Atlantic, caused
nervousness in the bear ranks and COW
ering Cancelled most of the earlier losses.
Speculation for the rise was resumed
in q few specialties, and the list devel-
oped a firm tone.
Split-up and favorable dividend ac-
lions announced late yesterday failed TO
inspire notable bullishness. American
Machine g. Foundry made negligible
response to the plan Of a 5-for-1 split,
and retirement Of the preferred and In
ternational Salt did little. despite the
increase in the dividend from $3.50 TO
81 and the proposal to split the STOCK
3 for /.
Missouri, Kansas, Texas ran into real
king on the announcement OF the
initial 81 dividend on the present stock,
then rallied. Coppers were again unset
tied by reduction of the Inspiration
quarterly payment from 81 to 30 cents,
the third copper dividend cut this week.
Sentiment in rail circles showed I'M
provement, rejecting publication OF the
chesapeake q Ohio and Western Mary
land April earnings reports, show

The few railway earnings reports Tor
April now at hand show an aggregate
reduction from April. 1929, Of about 20
per cent, but class l roads altogether
showed a drop Of more than 80 per cent
In March from the like 1929 period.
There was disappointment in some
quarters that the Bank OF England
made no reduction in its 8 per cent
discount rate, but credit in this market
was plentiful. Although call money
again renewed at per cent, 1t was
in good supplyain the outside market at

lowest levels in six years, showed an

me, the More Bridge They Seem to Play.

under these various conditions, If the
long suit were diamonds instead Of
spades?
Many sound auction players never
open the bidding without at least two
defensive tricks, variously described as
high-card tricks, quick tricks, honor
tricks or sure tricks. All of these would
pass the hand given, except when it had
the ace and king at its top, due to lack
of such strength, in spite of the great
number of offensive tricks.
Others will make high pre-emptive
bid if the hand contains enough of
fensive probable tricks, regardless Of it's
high-card content. These require six
probable tricks for q three bid or seven
for a four bid; In other words, they will
overbid their hand by three, counting
ON partner for that much strength to
make the bid safe.
The hand given contains only i've
such probable tricks. It's holder would
expect to lose three trump tricks to the
high cards and then bring in the next
five. Thus, it is too weak for any bid.
With the king at its head, it would be
worth i've and q half probable tricks,
the king having q f1fty-fifty chance TO
score. Topped by the ace, however, it
has six probable tricks, and would be
strong enough for q bid Of three spades.
The ace and queen would make the
hand worth half OF trick more, value
of the queen depending ON location Of
the missing king. Possession Of both ace
and king, though, would make the hand
worth seven probable tricks, justifying
an original four bid.
If the suit were a minor, such as dia-
monds or clubs, probable tricks would
count the same as In major. The hand
should be passed, however, IL the suit
were headed by anything less than the
ace and king. for three bid in minor
is not recommended; it does not pre-
empt, for bid Of three in major will
overcall it,: When not strong enough to
bid four in minor, practically all
authority advises one bid in the hope
that partner can take out into a major,
or into something that viii result in a
no trump declaration, for game is hard
to make in minor. A one bid is net
justihable, though, since it would guar
antee at least two high card tricks. If,
however, both the ace and king are ON
hand, the suit contains enough for o pre-
emptiVe bid of four diamonds.

Loss In Small Timber Use

THE fallscious idea prevails among many
4 lumber men that for the manufacture OF
little things like wagon wheel hubs and insula-

When men are all the same In zine,
With just one shade of hair and eyes,
With traits and brains OF equal worth
And equal standing on this earth,
And equal records through the years
And equal hopes and equal fears;
When all prefer the SelfSame food,

And all the former drys are wet
And smoke the selfsame cigarette;
With all enjoying equal health
With all possessing equal wealth
When human folks who play q game

And all their ways are equalized,
Their bidding can be standardized.
