Skip Auto Driver
 Leaves Dog To Die
Park Officials ncensed at Finding Crushed Animal -
 Bullet Ends Misery

Park officials are incensed over the action of a Init and run" driver who showed a very careless and in- humane spirit in striking a dog and leaving the poor animal to die.
 The dog was found in front of the door of the toolhouse near the "old mill' in Hamilton park. He was whimpering and whining when found in the morning, his back having been crushed badly. All night, the dog had been in the same position, ap- parently having crawled to the struc- ture after being hit.
 The heat from the animals body had melted the portion of ice on which it rested. When found in the morning, the canine was barely alive. The police were called. and bullet quickly ended the dogs suffering.
 Any man that makes an animal suffer like this one did certainly

 i The old matter of the Platts Mills | bridge and the Mad River bridge came up for discussion. A letter was | read from City Engineer Cairns in l which he estimated the cost of building a reinforced concrete bridge at Platts Mills, over the Naugatuck river, would be in the neighborhood ! of $15000O. He said the bridge was | in deplorable condition and re- quired immediate attention. Super intendent Fleming stated he had in- spected the bridge and found tem- porary repair would be of no as- sistance. The American Brass Co offers to sell the city strip of land along the bank of the Mad River for S2,0O0 to help the city build new bridge at that point, according to another letter from Engineer Cairns. The present bridge at South Main street is in need of repair and since heavier traffic is now going over the bridge it was pointed out, new bridge is necessary.
 | A large delegation headed by George Dubauskas, sought immedi- ate relief in the way of lights, side walks and layout and grade of All der street. The delegation was told
 that there is an old layout dated near 1888 on which the delegation will have to vote to eradicate before relief results. Under the plans of the old layout it would cost the city about $2O,OO0 Mayor Hayes said to bring about the requested repairs. The delegation seemed satisfied to come back March 31, at which time they will be in position to vote for the dispensing of the old layout plans and vote on the new. Mayor Hayes said the city couldn't afford to lay out $20,0O0 for one street, but had the delegation informed the city last fall of the conditions. an item might have been set up in the budget to take care of 1t. However. he said. if the property owners along | there wish to accept a new layout and arc willing to pay the assess ments, the requested improvements will become a reality.
 Assessments were voted to be laid | for the construction of sewer on Beecher avenue. Hearings were voted to be held for the construction of a sewer on Bradley avenue. Thomas Quilter headed delegation S. eking sidewalks and grading on James street. The city engineer will furnish an estimate of the cost and the clerk of the board, George V. Casey, will look up the old layout.

A communication concerning light ing standards for the Bank street bridge was referred to the street superintendent and lighting commit tee of the board. Superintendent Fleming was instructed to proceed with the construction of a sewer on Platt street which is estimated to cost $3,000. The board of aldermen will be asked for authority to pro- ceed with constructoin of sewers on York street and Toros and Hillview avenues.
 Commissioner James Phelan off, fered a good excuse for being late In coming to the board meeting. Genial Jim, taking up the joke. came back with a fast alibi. He said he was ready to leave the house when he received a phone call from Miss Marjorie Smith asking him to have the board do something about the continuation of Farming ton avenue. The entire board asked questions concerning the project and indications are that action will

R.ASKOB STIRS UP WAR

All that was needed to expose
the chasm that divides the Demo-
cratic party on the liquor ques-
tion was the speech of Chairman
John J. Raskob at the recent "har-
mony" gathering of the national
committee. Every one has known
that the North and South wings
of Democracy would refuse to
flap together, but in some quarters
it was assumed that the Democra-
tic leaders had learned enough
from the Waterloo of 1928 to avoid
head-on collision among them
selves. Evidently, however, Chaii-
man Raskob believes that the dry
South is no longer Democratic
territory and may be ignored.
It is difficult to explain the
reason for Mr.. Raskob's speech on
any other ground than as the de-
liberate beginning of a movement
to override the South. No more
provocative statements could have
been made than those contained
in his speech. His proposal that
the national committee should sug-
gest wet plank in the next cam
paign, contemplating the reestab-
lishment of liquor traffic by corr
stitutional amendment, is Ger
tain to arouse the fury of Demo
Gratis in all dry States. They viii!
oppose it to the last ditch. A wet
candidate upon plank Of the XII |
proposed by Chairman Raskob
could count upon losing many
States.
The spokesman of the dry wing
of the Democrats psrty is Senator
Joseph T. Robinson, of Arkansas.
He lost no time in joining issue
with Chairman Raskob. He rep
resents a section of the party that
has the power to destroy, if not to
elect, a Democratic candidate for
the Presidency. Rather than per-
nit the return of liquor regime
these Democrats will again throw
their States into the Republican
column. One of the mysteries of
politics is the inability Of Northern
Democratic vets to guage correct
ly the intesity of feeling among
Democrats of the South and West
on the prohibition question.
Senator Robinson correctly stat
ed that both parties are divided
on the prohibition question. The
Republicans will find great diff
Guilty in compromising their diff
ferences on this question. If they
are disposed to begin intestine
strife on the question they have
but to take warning from the ex-
perience of the enemy. Chairman
Raskob has shown the Republicans
what to avoid, and that is the un-
necessary precipitation of this
question in the deliberations of the
party long before the opening OF
the national campaign.
The Democratic quarrel having
started, there is no stopping it
No temporary truce will avail
Senator Robinson pointed out that
the dry Democrats had not tried
to draw from the national commit
tee an expression in favor OF the
dry cause, although the last Demo
cratic national convention ex
pressly declared for the enforce
ment of the eighteenth amendment
Until the next convention lays
! down party law, this is the law
and Chairman Raskob's propose
, to repeal and reverse party Law
instantly meets with determined
, resistance.
There were many rumors during
the recent session of Congress tha
Democratic leaders would hav
been glad to set Senator Robinson
, aside as a minority leader of tn
! Senate, because of his fixed opin
r lion on the eighteenth amendment
But Senator Robinson is not

man to be easily set aside. He
strengthened his leadership at this
meeting by Immediately rebuking
Chairman Raskob for injecting the
liquor controversy into the COM
mittee's councils. Senator Robin
son knows only too we'll that DEM
ocratic hopes may as well be aban-
doned if the party is to be plunged
into an internal fued. The public
discomfort arising from the de-
preston and other causes will
not bring about change of adj
ministration if the Democratic r.
val of President Hoover is doomed
beforehand to lose Democratic
States.
The wonder is that Chairman
Raskob does not see these facts.
His party as a whole may rue the
day that it permitted him to gain
virtual control of its policy by re-
lieving it's financial necessities

Solution to Problem No. IA

Spades are trumps and z is in the
lead. How can Y Z win all Of the tricks
against any defense?
Solution: Z should lead the ace of
hearts and follow with the deuce. Y
should trump this trick with the king
of spades and return the trey of spades.
No matter what B plays, Z overtakes
and leads the trey of hearts. Y should
trump this trick with the ace of spades
and lead the four of spades, which Z
must win, irrespective of BIS play. On
the first spade lead, A should discard
the five of clubs and on the second the
The Carbon County news., 1931-03-26

ten of diamonds. z should then lead
his winning spade and A is thus forced
to make third discard. If he discards
another diamond, Y's diamonds are
good for the remaining tricks. If he
discards the queen of clubs, rs ten is
good. If he discards the top heart,
rs heart is good. 1t is very apparent,
therefore, that A will be forced to
discard to his disadvantage and thus
enable Y Z to win the balance of the
tricks. 1t is a tricky and interesting
little problem.

Gates. Second: how the cards must be
distributed to enable him to make his
bid of five hearts.
First the lead of the four of dia-
monds indicates either four diamonds,
probably headed by the king, or a
singleton. If A has four diamonds, Is
/, best play is to let the first trick run up
to the queen Jack ten In his own hand.
If AS opening lead is singleton, how
ever, then the ace of diamonds should
be played from the dummy. There IS
no certain way to decide which of these
, two possibilities is correct, SO to decide
as to the proper play, Z must go on to
the second factor and that Is how must
the cards lie so that he can make five
odd. If As opening lead is singleton,
z cannot make five odd even if he
plays the ace of diamonds at trick one.
He must still lose the ace of hearts, the
ace of clubs, one diamond (the king)
and possibly ruff. On the other hand,
! if Z figures A with the king OF dia-
monds, he can make game by winning
the first diamond trick in his own hand.
Then all he has to lose are the ace of
hearts and the ace of clubs. For the
latter reasons, Z must pass the first
diamond trick in dummy and hope
that A has the king.
As a matter of fact, A did hold the
king and rs clever analysis of the
situation as outlined thus enabled him
to make five odd In many hand you
will have this opportunity of mentally
placing certain cards SO that you can
make your contract or game and then

just where you want them and thus
