SIAM ROYALTY IS ENTERTAINED BY
 THE CAPITAL
State Dinner at White House and Other Cere= monies = To-day King Goes to Eye Specialist
By JOSEPH H. BAIRD

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Washington, April 30. (UP)-The serious phase of King Prajadhipok's s visit to the United States-to learn do to aid his endangered sight-was uppermost in his majesty's mind to- day. He had an appointment with doctors at the Winner institute, Ball. timore.
 The high point in Americas social tributes to the king came last night. President and Mrs Hoover entertain ed him and Queen Rambhai Barni at state dinner in White House. All of the kings entourage was there. So was United States officialdom. The best service was used. The mar inc band played. The long table was filled with ruling families of two nations. It was a gala affair.
 Before leaving for Baltimore to- day the king was scheduled to re- ceive an honorary degree from George Washington university, where the queens brother is a stu dent. For the occasion, university officials arranged to use the Pan- American building here.
 The kings program to-day called for him to return to his Massachu- setts avenue palace after the degree had been conferred. Then, at 10:30 a. m., he was to leave for Balti- more in a White House car, accom- panied by the Siamese minister and other attendants.
 After his examination, the king planned to lunch with Dr William Holland Wilmer, head of the insti- ute, and then return to Washing ton, where at p. m. he is to enter tain the President and Mrs Hoover at tea.
 Acting on the advice of his physi- clans, the king curtailed his activ- ities yesterday, emitting scheduled trips to Mount Vernon and the Ar lington National cemetery. The kings parents-in-law, the Prince and Princess Svasti, were appointed to visit these shrines in his stead.

trump which South, the declarer. would win with the ace. Declarer would return the king of trump, West would play the seven of hearts and East would follow with his last trump-the eight spot.
 The declarer sees that he has one losing heart and one losing club trick. Vests overcall of two hearts practically places the king and queen of hearts and the king of clubs in his hand. If this is true,

The corrective is an alkali. which neutralizes acids in- stantly. The best alkali known to medical science is Philips Milk of Magnesia.

 The declarer then leads the eight of hearts from dummy, winning in his own hand with the ace. The six of hearts is returned by the declarer and West is forced to win with the queen. Regardless of what West leads, he cannot stop the declarer from making a small slam. If he

The Bidding


 At auction, South's hand is too strong to pre-empt and the bidding should be started with one spade, West would overcall with two hearts, but South would eventually buy the contract at spades.
 To those who are using the forc- ing bid in contract, many would want to start South's hand with the bid of two spades, but it is not strong enough. South has too many losers to make two bid which re- quires that the bidding be kept open until game is arrived at. there fore it is best to start South's hand a1 contract with bid of one spade, West would overcall with two hearts. North should bid three spades. With this information. South can jump to five spades and North would go to six.

Pursuit Of the will-o.the.wisp Of
love which each member Of Mas.

sought In unconventional chan.
nels today had separated them
in their tortuous paths which
once drew them together.
Letters the three wrote showed
that even before Mrs. William
Connor established the paramour
of her husband and the baby son
he had fathered In her own home
the course Of love did not run
smooth.

And in a cell in a Vermont

"Our guest meals'-the menus

a vice president of Childs told us.
But I think you could say there
are three main reasons behind
the popularity Of Childs. First,
the food is cooked in small
quantities-ao standardized taste.
Second, having the kind of ser.
