hended at Penn's Grove, N. j.

Trailed through four states,
Michael Welch, 26-year-old escap-
ed convict from the Maryland
House of Correction, is back again
at the institution after having
been captured by Sheriff John T.
Vickers and Deputy Sheriff ELS
worth Whaland, Of Kent county,

thorities. Welch, whose home is
at Colt, Nd, west Of Clayton, was
sentenced to serve six months on
a charge Of wife beating by Mag
istrate Robert Moffett, Chester
town, last month but he took
French leave three weeks ago. The
sheriff was notified and made a
rapid trek to Smyrna, where with
Constable Cochran and others, in
stigated a search. Welch was in
and around Smyrna and several
times his capture seemed eminent
but he evaded them. Search was
also made at Philadelphia, Pa,
Camden, Haddonfield and Ceilings
wood, n. ]. Finally he was found
in house in Penn's Grove, n. J..
and was arrested with the aid OF
New Jersey officers and taken

House of Correction. He was con
victed of wife beating in the Ches-

Extent Of Highway Work Planned
The plans being considered call
for an additional road, 20 feet wide
to the west Of the present dupont
Boulevard from Wilmington to
state road. There is sixty feet
wide road at present. The plans
also call for an additional road, 20
feet wide parallel to the Glasgow
road. Numerous accidents have
occurred on the Glasgow road
which is heavily Travelled by mo-
torists on their way to Baltimore
and Washington and the dual
highway would, it is believed, con
siderably lessen the danger. Gov
ernor Buck is of the opinion that
it would be wise to get the right
of way for the dual highways at
this time rather than to wait for
a few years when the sections are
built up and the cost is greater.
one interesting fact brought out in
connection with the construction
of dual highways is that the State
is going back to the plan first pro
posed by General Coleman DUPONT
when he proposed to build a boule-
ward through the State. At that
time he wanted sufficient right Of
way to build dual highways, separ-
ated by grass plot.
Funds Available For the Work
Work which is undertaken by
the State for the unemployed must
be work which can be paid for out
of the State Highway fund or the
school fund to very considerable
extent, was the statement made by
Governor c. Douglass Buck, last
week. while there was cash in

RAMON NOVARRO IN "DAY. BREAK" TO BE FEATURE AT. TRACTION AT STATE TOMORROW

Lovers of love stories, gayly done, shading from clever comedy to the threshold of tragedy will undoubt- edly take to their hearts "Daybreak" the new Metro Goldwyn-Mayer hit starring Ramon Novarro, which opens three day engagement at Warner Brothers State tomorrow.
 "Daybreak" presents Novarro. the always popular, as Kasda, gay, love adventuring lieutenant of a Vten- nese regiment before the war.
 With monocle clamped into one of his eyes, Novarro is quite a diff ferent person from the spanish lover of his more recent presenta- tions, "In Gay Madrid" and Call of the Flesh Kasda, in fact, carries tale of Teutonic military life, "The Student Prince"
 Kasda has rollicked through life so debonairly that he has come to consider love as merely a game. not at all to be taken seriously. And then comes his affair with Laura, whom he saves from the attentions of Schnabel, played by the always capable Jean Hersholt. Our gay young man is suddenly caught up short. He Is caught in web of his own making. He Is brought face to face with the strict of his regiment govern ment matters of love and honor.
 How he solves his situation is, of course, the plot background of this piece. and 1t would be a shame to sell you more. Suffice it to say that Novarro's scene in the gambling casino with the changed Laura, sophisticated, marvelousiy groomed, very sure of herslef, is without doubt one of the finest pieces of acting we have ever had from this consistently successful young star.
 Other players who deserve men, tion include c. Aubrey Smith as the general, William Bakewell, Karen Morley, Kent Douglass, Glenn Tryon and Clyde Cook.

The Bidding

The Bidding
 The hand was played at contract.
 East and West were vulnerable. North and South were not vulner- able. South opened with one spade
 which West doubled. North passed and East responded to the informa- tory double with two hearts. South passed, and West went to two no trump. North passed, and East went
 to four hearts, which closed the con-
 tracting.
 The Play
 South makes a normal opening
 the king of spades. which West, the dummy, wins with the ace. A
 small heart is returned from the dummy, and the declarer illnesses the jack. South refuses to win. Of course
 the declarer could now play out his
 king of hearts, but he does not know that North holds the singleton queen.
 He may hold the queen and one. The ace is pretty we'll marked in the South hand, Therefore tue de-
 clarer correctly plays the king of diamonds and now for the false- carding on the part of South. He follows with the nine of diamonds. dummy, and the declarer illnesses the the three. The deuce of diamonds is
 led by the declarer and South con-
 tinues his false-carding by playing
 the queen. dummy winning the trick
 with the ace.
 It certainly looks to the declarer as though South is out of diamonds, so the seven of hearts is returned from dummy, North plays the queen,
 declarer the king. and South wins
 with the ace. This leaves South, as
 the declarer knows, with one. more trump as North would not play the
 queen if he held the queen and eight
 of trump. South leads the jack of
 clubs in an endeavor to knock out the dummy's only entry. Declarer lays off once. but South comes right
 on with the deuce of clubs, declarer winning with the ace in dummy. What is the declarer to do now !?
 If he plays the jack of diamonds from dummy, he can discard his ios- ing club, but remember that South's false-card has led him to believe
 that South is out of diamonds, and
 as South still has a trump, he will trump.
 The declarer finally decides that 1t would be better to try for club
 break and leads small spade from dummy which he trumps and then plays the 10 of trump from his own hand picking up South's last trump. He then leads the eight of clubs hoping to find North and South both with club, but to his dismay South discards the eight of diamonds and North wins the trick with the queen of clubs and then cashes his king of clubs. defeating the declarer's con tract one trick.
 While 1t does not generally pay to false-card, as In the majority of cases it deeeives no one but your partner, there are times when clever faIse-carding is the only strategy fhaf Nill stop game.

LEW AIRES IN "IRON MAN" CLOSING LOCAL ENGAGEMENT TONIGHT AT WARNERS' STATE

TONIGHT AT MANNERS STATE
 "Iron Man" starring Lew Ayres, new idol of the screen, is closing It's local engagement at Warner Brothers State theater with per- formances this afternoon and ever- ing:
 its background the box game and concerns 8 rising young pugilist who is taken under the wing of know ing manager and forges ahead to command a chance at the worlds championship.
 Lew Ayres in the title role has never been seen to fit more perfect ly in any role than he does in this production. As the story unfolds In thrilling sequences on the talking screen we witness the champion meeting a girl with whom he be- comes madly in love. How he neg lects the rules of the boxing profess sion, its code of living standards all for the sake of this girl who in the end betrays his trust and causes him to topple from the championship throne, forms the plot for one of the most entertaining talking pictures that has played this theater during the present season.
 At the Globe theater on Broad way, overnight. this picture became the most roaring, ripping, crowd- gathering success of the year.
 Supporting the star, and equally brilliant in their roles, are beautiful Jean Harlow, Robert Armstrong and John Milan.
 As an added attraction the man. agement is presenting the first of new series of Bobby Jones pictures entitled How I Play Golf" There are twelve in the entire series and these will be shown each Saturday. Sunday. Monday and Tuesday for the ensuing eleven weeks.

which many Germans during the

The Darmstaedter Und National

everybody expected must be liqul-

through the joint action OF a group
