be a good rule again q no trump declaration to return your partners opening lead at the very first op- portunity, there are times when 1t is imperative to depart from routine ractice by switching suits in order to extract a valuable entry card from the dummy.
 Often dummy has a long suit (declarer's great hope) which may be established unless keen foresight on the part of an adversary throws a wrench into the machinery.
 Although the adversary attempt ing this coup may possibly lose a trick by his valiant effort, neverthe- less 1t Is worth this speculation at times. It is also true that any course involving the opening of a fresh" suit is always to be depre- cated; yet when 1t holds out some prospect, however remote, of saving several tricks, 1t is justihable. If successful, the loss of this possible trick may result in the later saving of two or more tricks.

club lead with the king and return his partners lead with the four of diamonds and thus hope to save the game.
 But the safer policy for West is to immediately play his possible winning king of hearts in order to prevent dummy's clubs from being established.
 A close study of the situation i'm mediately reveals that if instead of returning his partners lead he plays the king of hearts, dummy will be obliged to take 1t with his ace. If declarer remains obstinate and re- fuses. it will make no difference as force out the ace. West Is now West will continue the suit and enabled to prevent dummy's clubs from being run by refusing to win the second round of clubs with tine ace.
 The Deschappelles coup is an ef- fort to make partners queen of
 hearts good by leading his king to remove a dangerous ace. On this deal the coup is unsuccessful in es- tablishing card for partner. But 1t does win trick by removing dummy's ace.
 Without the coup. declarer will score four odd. With the coup he can score no more than three odd. Copyright. 1881. NIsA Service. Incl

PRESIDENT TO GET
PLEA FOR SESSION
Delegation Visits Lucas,
Shouse and Borah, Receiv-
ing Little Encouragement.

The next move Of the group of organ
izations advocating an extra session of
Congress will be to call at the White
House following President HoOVer's re-
turn from the Caribbean.
The delegation yesterday visited Rob-
ert H. Lucas, executive director OF the
Republican National Committee; Jouett
Shouse, chairman of the Democratic
National Executive Committee, and
Senator Borah, Republican, of Idaho,
but obtained little announcement.
Benjamin Marsh, secretary of the
Peoples Lobby, who headed the group,
said Congress should be at work on
unemployment, while Mrs. Laura PETER
Morgan of the National Council for
the Prevention OF War, urged the SEN
ate be convened to ratify the World
Court protocol.
BOrah for Extra Session.
Senator Borah told the group he ia
vored an extra session, but saw no way
to bring one about. adding it was clear
"the President does not think one
necessary"
Shouse said the responsibility rested
with President Hoover and that he did
not intend to make any recommends
ton to the Chief Executive.
The group was told by Lucas that he
personally, was opposed to an extra
session.
Shouse said ne favored ratification
of the protocol, but did not think there
would be an international recovery OF
business until there was tariff revision

addition to Marsh and Mrs. Morgan

the effects Of hurricane, drought and
the business depression, all of which
were imposed upon a century-old
poverty. They are showing great courage
and initiative in this rehabilitation.
They will this season, in large degree,
have recovered their crops.
1.-THE devastating effect of the hur-
ricane is Still represented in the thou
sands of one-room shackS housing whole
families. The most constructive con-
tribution of the Federal Government is
to continue and expand the present
policies of aid to and cooperation with
their institutions in education, health,
better adaptation of agriculture and ex-
pansion of industry and markets.
1.-The Virgin Islands may have some
military value some time. opinion
upon this question is much divided. In
any event. when we paid $25.000.0 900
for them, We acquired an effective poor
house, comprising 90 per cent OF the
population.
Need New Resources.
"The people cannot be self-support-
ing. either in living or government,
without the discovery Of new methods
and resources.
"The purpose of the transfer of the
administration from the naval to
civil department is to see If we can
develop some form of industry or agri-
culture which will relieve us of the
PRESENT costs and liabilities In support
of the population or the local Govern
ment from the Federal Treasury or
from private charity.
Viewed from every point except re-
mote naval contingencies, 1t was I'M
fortunate that we ever acquired these
islands. Nevertheless, having assumed
the responsibility we must do our best
to assist the inhabitants"

but Yowler didn't mind it in the least.
1t rather amused him. He was almost
there now. He could smell the UNI
eaten food on the edge of the nest and
this added to his eagerness.
And then something struck him so
hard that he was almost knocked from
the tree. At the same time he felt
several sharp pains that made him cry
out. Before he fully understood what
had happened he was struck from the
other side, and great claws tore his coat
and scratched deep gaShes in his face.
Snarling, splitting, FOWLER tried to
strike back with one claw-tipped paw
while he chung to the trunk of the tree
with the other. The best he could do
was to rake out few feathers. Huge
wings pounded him and great claws
tore his coat He was too high up to
let go and Jump. He began to back
down as fast as he could. Half way he
could stand it no more and simply
dropped. He had lost his appetite and
he had learned lesson, a painful les
son he never would forget.

Painful Lesson.
A lesson that you learn with pain
You seldom need to learn again.
--Yowler the Bob Cat.

Yowler speaks truly there. Lessons
learned in pain are the ones not for
gotten. Lessons learned easily and
pleasantly often are forgotten just as
easily. You'll find this true all through
life.
Hooty the Great Horned Owl and
Mrs. Hooty are good providers for their
family. Yes, sir, they are good pro-
viders. They know that growing chill
dren must have plenty to eat and they
make it their business to supply plenty
even in times when food Is scarce and
hard to find. They are wonderful
hunters, are Hooty and Mrs. Hooty, and
they have the advantage of being able
to see and hunt in both daylight and
darkness. Being strong of wing they
can cover a great deal of territory and
their hunting grounds extend far in all
. directions when there are babies to
feed.
So it was that often the young Owls
in that nest that used to belong to
Redshoulder the Hawk often had more
than they could eat. Their parents
would leave what they brought, putting
it on the edge of the nest where the
youngsters could get 1t when they
wanted it. Sometimes they would

Needs Astringent.
Dear Miss Leeds-Kindly tell me
what can do to keep my hands dry
while dancing. The pores on my nose
are rather large and the powder will
not stay on for long. What can do
to remedy the above?
A DAILY READER.
Answer-Both your hands and face
are. quite evidently in need Of an
astringent.
An excellent preparation for keeping
the hands cool and free from perspira-
ton is made Of the following ingred-
sients: Tannic acid, 2 drains; glycertn,
e1 ounce; toilet alcohol, 2 ounces;
rose water, 3 ounces. Apply to the
palms of the hands and also between
the fingers before going out. Another
simple home remedy which may be
allowed to dry on the hands two or
three times day is made by dissolving
an ounce of powdered alum in l pint
of hot water.
Always apply an astringent to your
face after cleansing at night and also
before using foundation cream and
makeup during the day. There are
many good ones on the market or you
may make your own as follows: Orange
flower water, ounces; cologne water,
ounce; simple tincture of benzoin, "
ounce. To mix, add the benzoin drop
by drop to the orange-fiower water and
shake well. Then add the cologne
water. Apply with absorbent cotton,
allowing it to dry on the skin.

Yowler discovered that nest. He at
once sneaked into O thicket of young
hemlock trees and there hid to await
the coming of the Black Shadows, for
the deed he was preparing to do was a
deed of darkness. From his hiding
place he could watch that nest high up
in big maple. There were no
branches for some distance above the
ground, but FOWLER knew he could
climb it, and his mouth watered as he
dreamed of the feast he would have
once he got up there.
At last it was dusk. He saw Hooty
fly of in one direction and mrs. Hooty
fly of in another direction. The time
had come. Sneaking out of the thicket
he ran swiftly to the foot of the tree
For moment he crouched there glaring
up. Then he sprang and dug his claws
into the bark of that tree and began to
scramble up. AS he neared the nest
the young Owls heard him and took
alarm. They began to hiss and snap
their bills. It was a threatening sound,
