~ f. Bidding
 ts First rou. North one no trump, East pass, South four hearts (not forcing nor inyitational), West pass. ys Second round--North pass, East pass. two hearts over his partners no trump. for the reason that this would be q minimum takeout, and in that event North might not be justified in tproceeding further with the bidding; South's hand is far too strong to take that chance.
 Note. furthermore. that a bid of t1nree hearts by South would be wrong, for the reason that 1t would be forcing bid; would demand a further bid from partner, and would represent or guarantee to North that South held a minimum of two and a half to three high card tricks. This bid might, therefore, encourage North to bid for slam, and South s hand does not warrant forcing bid of three hearts: over a three heart bid North would very well be justi- lied in inviting slam by bidding five hearts. This would spell disaster.
 However. South must make bid of four hearts, which is a signal to North that South believes he has . game in hearts. and 50 far as he fEouth) is concerned. his hand war rants no further bidding.
 { Note also in the above hand that East is not strong enough for an ipformatory double as he holds only two and half tricks. The minimum requirements for a negative or infor- native double is usually considered n three or more honor tricks.

 to Write This Scenario. The management of the State the- ater is pleased to announce to-mor- row as the opening date for "The Finger Points," the First National picture, starring Richard Barthel- mess.
 "The Finger Points, s based on a notorious case of gang rule which recently startled the country. The thrilling melodramatic romance is the result of the collaboration of John Monk Saunders and w. R. Bur- nett, authors of 'The Dawn Patrol" and Little Caesar" No present day writers are more familiar with the inner workings of the underworld.

He gets a job as police reporter on a crime crusading paper and at first refuses the hush money offered by the gangs to withhold discriminating stories. The characterization of MT Bar thelmess is dynamic and intensely moving.

kept In the Harlan Jail.
Pointing out that she could not carry
on her work If she was sent elsewhere,
Mrs. Wakefield said:
1T would have been futile for US TO
be transferred to another county"
Although johnson said he had agreed
to leave Harlan and Bell Counties only,
Brock said the agreement stipulated
that he stay out of the State.
johnson said he refused to leave the
State because feel that these Harlan
officials have no jurisdiction over the
entire State. I agreed to leave Harlan
and Bell Counties because I feared the
threat to transfer me to an isolated
county"

Authorities charged johnson and
Mrs. Wakefield had violated the crini-
nal syndicalism law by stirring up
miners and distributing anti-Govern-
ment literature. They claimed Mrs.
Wakefield had suggested violence
against Judge Jones and had urged
force in releasing accused miners from
the Harlan Jail
The indictments against the two
were among many returned as a result
of labor difficulties which were climaxed
May 5 when four men were slain in a
clash, near Everts, between miners and
sheriffs deputies. State troops were
sent here and remained several months
after the clash.
More than a hundred murder indict-
ments and numerous less serious in
dictmentS have been returned in con-
nection with the disorders.
