 business and professional women are grouped in this city. Perhaps no bet ter way to find out is to be found than by going through the roster of of members of that club are teach
 CTS proving that the time honored
 profession for women is still popular
 despite the fact that other fascinat-
 ing fields have opened up. An equally
 large group are stenographers and
 one not much smaller is made up
 of private secretaries. Clerks, book
 keepers and those at home come next.
 There are five social workers, two librarians, two children's librarians, one cashier, one companion, one su- perintendent of day nursery, one woman who keeps ''The Wee Shop" another who keeps a stationary shop. Two in restaurant business. one an employment manager, one a bridge instructor, one a publicity woman, two florists, one town clerk and one town clerks assistant, one merchant, one store sales supervisor, former republican town commit tee secretary, one art supervisor, one jewellery, one purchasing agent, one department store buyer, one osteo- path, one manager of photograph

pass. The East hand, though, is strong enough to go five hearts. This should close the contracting.
 Although Vests hand does con- tain an ace and a king, queen, 1t must be remembered that East was forced to bid the five hearts, and it would be very bold declaration to so to six hearts, although one table in a recent duplicate match did take the contract to six.
 The Play.
 South opens the king of spades, the top of his long spade suit. It looks as if the declarer must lose one spade trick and one club, but the declarer does not become dis couraged, and wins the first trick with the ace. Three rounds of trump are taken which picks up all of North's trump. Declarer should now use the well-known strip play and take three rounds of diamonds, stripping the dummy hand of dia- monds. It is quite apparent to the declarer that South should hold the king of clubs to justify his pre-emp- tive bid of four spades. therefore the declarer now leads his three of spades, throwing South in the lead.
 If South were to lead another spade, deciarer would trump in dummy and discard his losing club from his own hand. If South leads the jack of clubs, the declarer will allow it to ride to his queen and cash the ace of clubs in dummy, thereby completing his contract of six hearts.

BUSES TN DEAL
FOR TERMINAL

The possibility that the local
terminal station of the Washing.
ton, Baltimore and Annapolis elec-
trio railway may become also the
terminus of all the bus lines serv-
ing Washington, is seen today,
after it was admitted by the rail-
way receivers that two large bus
lines have advanced a proposition
for using the railway terminal
also.
III. T. Connolly, manager Of the
railway for the receivers, said ne
gOtiatiOns are still in q tentative
state, but the plan, If adopted,
would solve the increasing COM
plex problem Of finding one or
more terminals for the "a bus lines
here.
The Public Utilities Commission
is prepared to rule off the street
those busses which do not comply
promptly with the commissions S
orders, calling for proper termi-
nails, routing so not to interfere
with downtown traffic, filing
schedules and routes with the
commission, and otherwise obey
ing orders of the utility body.
Harleigh H. Hartman, vice chair
man of the commission, says that
body plans to enforce its ruling
and plans with an iron hand.

Tax Exemption Of Football
Stadiums Also Gets Light
In Dr.. Pritchett's Report

NEW YORK, Aug. IT G.N.SJ.
The propriety of exempting foot
ball stadiums from taxation was
questioned and the demands of
the American Legion for bonus
legislation we're attacked by DIR.
Henry Smith Pritchett, president
emeritus of the Carnegie Founda-
tion for the advancement of
teaching, in the foundations
twenty-fifth annual report, made
public today. DR.. Pritchett said:
''The leaders of the American
Legion intend to raid the
Treasury Of the United States"
Discusses Football
DR.. Pritchett referred to the
much-discussed bulletin % of the
Carnegie Foundation concerning
professionalism in college athletics
and he charged football is no
longer college game" adding:
Zone wonders what is the
ratio of football income to
total income in institutions that
make a speciality of football.
"The cOmmercialization of
football and its transformation
from a game into a public
show for earning money raises
IN interesting question concern
ing taxation. A stadium like
the Yale Bowl or the one re-
Gently erected in South Bend is
used merely for public shows.
These plants are tremendous
earnerS of money.
Tax Angle Discussed
"Are they exempt from tax,
alton; and if so, upon what
theory? Will not the various
States insist land rightly sol
upon taxing money-making
agencies of this description?
And will not this raise afresh
the whole question of the ex-
emptiOn of schools, colleges,
churches and other charitable
institutions?' Would it not be
more patriotic, economically
wise. and, on the whole, more
truly Christian if universities,
colleges and churches carried
their fair share of the burden
Of government?
"The question is sure to be
asked, and seriously. The ex-
pl0ltatiOn of commercial foot
ball has done more to hasten
the inquiry than am other one
thing. An agency that takes
in 100000 at a single show is
In no position to ask for the
exemption of this money-earner
from taxation. Why should a
university ask eemption from
the duties common to all other
agencies of the social Order?"

second time willis year, a ten per
cent wage cut HIS been handed out
to the workers in the Alexander
Smith and Sons Co. mills here. the
largest plant in the city. The mill
has been running part time for Ions
period, and hundreds of workers were
laid Off The wage cut is to go into
effect Feb. 7. The new wage cut will
mean a reduction of from 40 to 60
cents day in the already starvation
pay of the workers.
The company is keeping quiet about
the wage cut, but it instructed the
foreman to go to each worker in
dividually and infor nhim about the
slash. No notice was posted. This
is done in order to keep back organ
ization of strike by the workers.
The Daily Worker is being sold in

the wage cut
All sorts of rumors' were sent
around about new workers being
hired at the plant. More than 1000
workers lined up at the doors few
days ago but none were hired.
