back with that awful thought con-
fronting her.
She picked out q little studio,
where she thought no one would
come, to play the songs ver She
read the titles with a sinking heart:
Little Shack in Dixie" Fancy
Our Loving Each Other" Break
fast for Two in a Kitchen Of Blue"
when You Kissed Me-.
They were ballads and not blues.
That at least helped some in so
far as Elanda was concerned. But
her pride had fallen into the dust
at the thought Of others hearing
her sing them. And she always had
boasted she wouldn't.
But she had a six months con-
tract as Miss La Paloma for one
thing. That couldn't be broken. She
was sure Mr.. Du Pont would want
her to carry out her agreement.
She sat down at the piano heav-
lily. and began TO run them over.
She dreaded taking them home to
learn. Dixie would love it, She
probably would say. Il told you so.'
Anyway. she certainly would think
it!
Elanda frowned over Little Shack
in Dixie" and found II hard TO get
the rhythm. She played we'll the
things she sang. But she mad scorn-
ed playing anything SO common.
Truthfully. not because she didn't
enjoy them sometimes IL they were
done well. but because she was an
"artiste" and had to call them
trite to keep within the holy sane
tuary OF art.
OF course. Suwanee Collier would
have to pick out that very studio.
She smiled to herself, coldly. when
he opened the door. He stopped
short:
"Oh. good afternoon. Elanda.
How is the baby?"
She's pale and weak. but the doc
tor says she Is out OF danger. 1t
was her diet. I suppose"
Suwanee saw the music on the
piano and hid a grin Of amuse-
ment.
What are you doing with this
sort OF stuff"
She choked, but she had to tell
him the truth. He'd find 1t out any,
way. So she tried to sound indif-
ferent:
I'm trying TO learn 1t. Mr.. Ffske
is changing the type OF the La
Paloma program. I guess you were
right in a way. after all. when you
said Id probably have to do some
Of this junk. too. Well I can't help
it. But I hate IT,"
He stood behind her SO that she
could not see his face. How he
wanted to laugh. He didn't feel
sorry for her. IL was probably one
Of the most humanizing things that
ever had happened to the proud
and conceited little beauty, he
thought with pleasure.
But he was kind-hearted and he
desired to be there with her awhile.
SO he offered pleasantly:
LET me sit down and run II over
for you. It'll be easier than accom-
panying yourself. I'll be your ballad
tutor"
Elanda was amazed when he be-
gan TO play. 1t was lovely. She won
dered why he played a uke when
he could play the piano like that.
With her cheeks burning. but be-
cause she had to learn the songs
for the following night. she began
TO sing. Occasionally he would stop
her and suggest a different inter-
probation. 1t stung her pride. But
Suwanee was having a wonderful
time.
That night he wrote the song
that made him famous as a COM
poser.

PREMIUM ON THE Law
". @. COSTELLO,
Manager

San Diego. from which several odd
things have issued recently, gives new
example of "laWlessneSS' on the part OF
its board of supervisors, though the mem
bers of that body would probably resent
it highly. if one were to accuse them OF
lawessneSS.
The last legislature passed law re-
ouiring the publication of all school bud
gets in the state. Under certain condl-
tions. when this could not be done by the
school districts, it is to be taken care OF
by the supervisors.
When the matter of publishing the
budgets was up for consideration IN San
Diego. the supervisors decided not to do
anything about 1t.
The reasons given for not attempting
to print the budgets were, "it would cost
$4,000. entail considerable detail work,
and no penalty is provided for failure to
follow the laws mandates.
Because the law does not say that
somebody has to go to Jail or be fined II
it is not observed. the supervisors detlb-
erately choose to ignore it. They are not
concerned with observing the law be-
cause it is right that they should do so.
We read and hear so much OF con-
tempt for law these days that we have
become more or less calloused regarding
it. But few of US expect to flnd open
contempt for the law in our governing
bodies. The San Diego supervisors ap-
parently are not interested IN setting
a good example in obeying the law;

SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 24. (U.H)
A chorus Of protests arose IN the
local artist colony today when It
was learned that Diego Rivera,
Communist artist OF Mexico CITY,
had accepted a commission to paint
murals for San Francisco : new
s2.j00.000 stock exchange buildings.
The murals will depict Califor-
mia 5 industrial, financial and COM
mercial progress. The protest
against Rivera Is based on his lack
of sympathy with the topic Of the
painting, no reflection being cast
upon his ability.
All agree that Rivera Is probably

1t should be evident that any lead
that A may make, except the trump
lead, will enable to make a little
slam. If A leads trumps, Z must lose
two spade tricks and one diamond
trick. Any other lead will enable L to
trump spade in US hand and thus be
able to fnesse the diamond. 1t is a
pretty hand and the analysis is well
worthy of closest study.
Here is another hand that will make
you think, especially as partner has
not bid:

hand. The fact, however, that A has
the club suit would seem to indicate
that rs side. strength if he has any,
land his bid of six would SO indicated,
must be in the diamond suit; therefore
lead of that suit should be avoided.
Suppose that rs VOID suit is clubs.
should A lead that suit2 The answer to
this question Should also Be in the
negative. If Z should trump clubs it
would thus enable him to obtain the
lead and use any trunps that Y may
have to trump the spades.
Having eliminated the possible suit
leads, the only one remaining is a
trump lead. Can such lead do any
harm and, IF not, can it possibly gain
trick? A trump lead should not do any
harm for A and B have the spade suit
and A has the club suit, therefore the
only suit that may make is the dia-
mond suit. There is no real danger of
that, however, for BIS bid of four
spades certainly should indicate at
least one trick in diamonds. On the
other hand, can the trump lead possibly
gain a trick? The answer to that ques-
ton is YES. If YES hand contains
void spade suit, the trump lead may
prevent a ruff by Y.
The foregoing analysis should prove
therefore, that AS proper
lead with the foregoing hand should
be the eight of hearts. The following
are the hands held by all four players:
