Wrong MANAGEMENT

To even a casual student OF bridge
it would seem that Of the essen
tial troubles with the battle Of the
century, now being staged by Messrs
LEM and Culbertson in New York,
is that It IS presented under the
wrong management and under in
decisive conditions.
For years, American bridge tourna-
ments have been conducted on the
basis of duplicate bridge. This con-
sists of playing a given number OF
hands from n position at the table
and then playing the same hands
from, the other position at some SUBJ
seQuent time. Under such q system
it is possible to ascertain who gets
the most from holding certain cards.
After such a contest, each pair has
held exactly the same cards as their
opponents and under exactly similar
circumstances. The net score shows
which did the most with the cards
available.
But in the Culbcrtson affair we
hear that the other side held most
of the Aces and Kings as explana-
ton for losses. The officials are &C.
cused of not knowing their business
and with failing to require the COM
p~etitors to adhere to their respective
systems Of bidding.
1t is showmanship Of q high order
as witness the general interest in the
games, but it is hardly q contest
which can decide either the abilities
of the respective participants or the
merits Of the systems which they
espouse.
Such a test. to be fair. should bt
under management separate ant
apart from the participants and un'
der terms which would give each side
equal opportunity.

FAMOUS HOUSES
SAVED FROM FIRE
Americas First Apartments

NEW ORLEANS, March 12.-America' s
first apartment houses, erected here in

ened one of them last night.
AS always, when flames menace the
treasures of old '"Frenchtown," flremen

blaze, and the chief damage was to
many precious historical documents
housed in one section Of one of the
| buildings.
The two apartment houses are a block
long each and three stories high.
Flank Mississippi.
They flank the Place dies Armes on a
bank of the Mississippi that was re-
named Jackson Square after the ex-
ploits Of the famous frontisrsman in
the War of 1912.
At the time Of their erection, with
hand-wrought iron balconies overhang-
ing the sidewalks and little French
courtyards with fountains and wistaria,
the apartments were among the most
exclusive residences in the land.
The baroness, only daughter of the
wealthy Don Andres AlmonaSter
RoxaS OF Spain, herself lived in one of
the sections and there entertained
Jenny Lind, the Swedish nightingale"
who once sang Home, Sweet Home"
from the balcony to her admirers in the
square.
Fall on Bleak Days.
After the baroness left for France to
die, the apartments fell upon bleak days
and the health officers once found a
COW sharing section with one tenant.
Then came turn in the historical tide.
The Pontalba Apartments were remod-
eled and soon became the center of New

In recent years the apartments have
been the homes of such notable literary

stories was dramatized into the famous |

SPEAKS IN HEXAMETERS

STOCKHOLM (N.A.N.A.).-One of
the few Communists in the Swedish
Parliament, who is also a well known
young poet, combined his two voca-
tons the other day and delivered his
maiden speech in elegant hexameters.
With such natural ease did he speak
his Communistic declaration of rights
that 1t was not till the next day when
the newspapers printed the speech that
every one realized it was regular
poem. Swedish is a very musical,
rhythmical language, and other
speeches, on examination, have shown
lapses into passages of unconscious
verse.

A Nationwide appeal for the Ameri-

voiced last night by Assistant Com

There is plenty Of money in this
country-make no mistake about that
and 1t Is equally clear that much OF
that money has been hiberating; 1t went

of the depression and unfortunately

The expert on economics said strong
evidence points to the fact that many
safe deposit boxes are stuffed with cash
which is neither yielding a profit tc
the owners nor contributing to the
restoration of normal conditions in the
business world. He agreed with an esti-
mate recently advanced that this form
of boarding amounted to approximate
ly 81, 100000.
He cited an observation made by
George Washington along this line:
"It is not a custom with me to keep

the general benefits that arise from
prudent buying of goods and hiring OF
labor and "he appreciated the absolute
economic necessity of keeping money
in circulation
He said that President Hoovers ma

this preposterous throw-back to cring-
ing crowd-psychology and If the Pres

but that, it will have abundantly full

Blaming the increase on boarding, he
declared it was all the more encourag-

several weeks there has been no sub

With reference to the dole, he said
the vast majority Of the Nations job

S2.82 FARMER s
SHARE Of $50

Statistics furnished today by
the various bureaus of the De
partment of Agriculture revealed
that the farmer receives on the
average only 1882 for enough
wheat to make 800 loaves of
bread that sell for $50.
The prevailing price Of wheat
paid the farmer is from so to IS
cents a bushel. It takes about
four and a half bushels to make
a barrel Of flour.
Prices paid the miller for a
barrel Of flour vary as to quality
and grade but the average price
now paid the miller for a barrel
Of flour from which white bread
is made is $4.35. This would
bring the miller a profit of $1.53
a barrel over the 1882 paid the
farmer.
Experts at the Agriculture De-
partment estimate that 800 10
cent loaves of bread can be made
from a barrel Of flour. So the
actual cost to the housewife of
a barrel of flour made into bread
Is $50.
