BILL JONES NEEDS MORE INCOME

Winter is approaching and the children's school expense will be higher this year than last. Bill looks forward to less income ill the regular way. Many industries have shifted to the "zigzag" plan for their employees in an effort to help everyone thru the winter. This means that each employee will have about half as much in come. Prices of clothing and food have come down some, but not in Keeping with the "zigzag' income. There will be just as much coal to buy and rent to pay. Bill must buy and rent to pay. Bill must have more money than he can expect from his usual sources.
 He has some money in the sav- ings bank drawing per cent in terest. While it is true that money was put there for rainy day" it isn't bringing him any income worth mentioning; and $2O or $40 or even $l0O of that wouldn't go very far on rainy day" He needs more money coming in.
 Bill Jones is the average Amer iean. He knows that many a man in exactly his financial condition has invested part of his money and has made enough return to give him the added income he needed. But Bill knows there is ssme speculation with every in vestment, no matter what it is or how good it sounds.
 He doesn't know whether he should take any chances on either his savings account or his present income. Of course his savings ac- count is not absolutely safe; he realizes more money has been lost by depositors thru bank failures during the last 10 years than thru any single line of investment other than the stock market crash in 1929. Being a true American and realizing that nothing risked, nothing gained" he likes to take a chance. Bill is a cautious fel- low and wants to speculate, but he doesn't want to lose his money.
 So he losses aside all the wild eyed" promises and impractical guarantees that flood the mails and seeks out a chance to specu- late with the safety of flowing oil we'll to fall back on if the well he bets on turns out to be dry. If the new we'll comes in big, Bill should make a profit of 10 times his investment. If he doesn't he still has his money where it should pay him dividends, over a period of years, twenty times larger than the savings bank interest. And he has the speculative chance of making a real fortune if the new well comes in good. He wants to speculate with his fingers crossed, as it were, and that is exactly what he does when he accepts our spe- cial Pool offer, and shares in one gusher while we drill for another

JACOBY WALKS
OUT OF BRIDGE
DUEL, ANCERED
Tired of Being 'BawIed Out
by LEM, He Bolts Match
in Huff.

~ United Press
NEW YORK, Dec. %. - Oswald
Jacoby, six foot bridge star, proved
that all other contract players are
brothers under the skin when he
slapped on his stovepipe hat Mon
day night. swept up his walking
stick and stamped out Of the Wal
dorf Astoria with the declaration
that Sidney Lenz will have to get
new partner in the Culbertson-
LEM epic bridge battle.
Jacoby was mad. Just plain,
downright mad.
Mr.. Lenz," he said, rising from
the table at the close OF Monday
nights session, "in hand 602, after
making an absolutely stupid defen-
sive play, you had the nerve to
criticise me publicly for my bidding.
I resign as your partner"
And Jacoby stalked out Of the
playing room, where he and LEM,
III spite of their pickering, had
knocked $50 points off the Culbert-
son lead.
CuDeTLSOn Beams
Ely Culbertson stood in the cor
ridor and beamed. Mrs. Culbertson,
Who returned to the contest after
an absence of fourteen days, retired,
lady-hke, to her hotel.
In an ante-room reporters cor
nered Jacoby.
ON several occasions" he said,
Mr.. Lenz has barked criticisms at
me. They invariably have been
baseless. They have come at a
ime when he has made an error,
and when he wants to cover up by
bawling me out. 1 don't mind criti-
ism when I'm wrong, but I can't
put up with this sort Of thing.
Mr.. LEM is an older man than
myself and he has been stirred up
~ this match. I'm sorry it had to
.appen."
LEM, a bit cagey. announced
ater:
"Ozzie and I have found that our
yles of bidding don't agree, so
ave decided to end our partner
nip"
JacOby May Return
That was the way things stood
when Ozzie came down the corri-
dor, headed for the nearest exit.
His ghost writer" jerked him into
a room, got LEM inside and locked
the door After ten mil ltes, a
statement came from Jacoby:
Il have submitted my resignation
to Mr.. LEM. 1t is up to him."
LEM came through with state
ment: II will have new partner
tomorrow night and for se'.eral ad-
ditional sessions. Jacoby will re-
turn to the match later"
It was r1mored Commander Win
field Liggett would be across the
table from the veteran Sidney to-
night.
First indication of serious rift
in the Lenz-Jacoby combination
came during the next to the last
rubber Monday night.
Lead Is 16,84O Points
"Ozzie," said Sidney, sharply
WHY AO yOu QUILL 4OtbCll O1NlO :
You're having lot of fun in this
game, it seems to me. Why don't
you let me bid once in a while?"
Jacoby bit his lip and did not an
swer. It was at the end of that
rubber that he had his say. Len2
said: well, come on; let's play
another rubber before we quit"
Not with me, you don't" snapped
Jacoby, hopping up from the table
The referees ruled in favor oil
another rubber, however, and ia
ccby stayed on until it was finished
before announcing his decision to
quit.
The players finished the one hun
dred third rubber during the seS-
sion, with the Culbertsons leading
by 16,840 points. They started the
evening 1900 points ahead.
