FEEBLE OLD MAN
 AIDED CHILDREN

Detroit, (UP)-A gray haired, feeble old gentleman from Ohio wandered through the Children's hospital of Michigan the other day, his eyes lighting up with pleasure as he noted the modern devices for aiding and treating the maimed children.
 It was Quincy Stubbs, of Cincin- natl, S4. He looked with justifi- able pride on the modern build ings and scientific care, for in the United States he probably has spent more time fighting for crip- pied children than any other per son.
 Stubbs' uphill fight for de- formed children began in 1896, when he was a poor laboring man. without sufficient. funds to pur- chase a $40 brace for his daugh- ter, Clara, suffering with curva- ture of the spine.
 "When I could not buy the brace, I canvassed hospitals for aid," Stubbs said. "but there was none coming. There were no pro- visions for poor children. l guess the rich were taken care of, but the poor had to shift for them selves
 It was then Stubbs began a cam paign for children's aid in Ohio. It was 19 years before his fight bore fruit. To-day many states have hospitals for crippled chill dren.

New York - One of Broadway's s minor miracles has been achieved by - of all people - Tom Moofiey, who now spends his later years in prison martyrdom.
 That the shadow of Mooney, whose case has aroused millions all over the world, should finally be cast over a boxoffice on the Gay White Way is another one of those Manhattan incidents that de- fies explanation.
 New York's slogan has long been anything can, and does happen here." O. Henry set out to prove it; so have innumerable column ists and so have authors, singers, lecturers and playwrights. The theater is an endless parade of sur prises. But it's genuinely startling that a play about Moneys "fram- ing" should become a hit on the street that is supposed to be made of such shallow stuff.
 Yet, such are the circumstances, that drama written in high in dignation, titled Precedent" end ed its days recently after surviving a summer that saw the hardest hits fold up.
 
 Neither the writers nor packers had the money nor opportunity to open this play in the uptown theater belt. With a few dollars and considerable courage, they went to one of the little theaters in Greenwich Village. They hired an inexpensive cast, which turned out to be better than many a "bie league" cast. They hoped, oi course, that their efforts would reach the uptown ears; but they didn't believe this very firmly.
 Critics went out of their way to look in on the modest opening, and came back shouting about the power and stark simplicity of the argument. Within & few months Tom Mooney had come to Broad way, in spirit if not in person And his story, while somewhat theatricalized. has reached the ears of thousands of theater- goers. who paid good money tc hear it.

The current season, while having borne so sensations, has had much worth commenting on.
 For instance: The theater firms of Schwab and Mendel and Aarons and Freedley have long been asso- ciated with the peppiest and most successful musical comedies to be CTS - Carol, Ziegfeld and White - stuck pretty much to revues.
 
 This year came notice that music shows would be put on without 9 chorus. Some immediately point ed to hard times. and jobless cho- rines groaned. Yet on came Free For AL" with singing principals and an amusing libretto, and then followed. Singing the Blues" a Harlem melodrama with songs but no girls. Tn each case the experi- ment has been more than passing ly interesting, if not phenome- nally successful.
 There has been, too, the novelty of watching plays being rewritten almost before ones eyes. The power of critical comment appears for once to have affected, over night. the nature of a presentation.
 Cloudy With Showers" for in. stance. had an amusing story about a professor in psychology being stumped on sex question by one of his pretty pupils. And getting into plenty of farcial involvement as the result. The third act was rather harshly treated. Within a week, 1t had been rewritten and even given a new locale. John Golden, with almost equal haste. twisted the ending of his After Tomorrow" which had left many in the audience shuddering and fearful.
 But in these days, almost any news can be expected from the theaters, which have grown un- cannily gun-shy.

The Bidding.

The Bl00lnS.
 The contract bidding would be South one heart. Under the writ CTS system of contract bidding. the four-card suit is bid ahead of the five-card suit in order to better show the distribution of the hand. West overcalls with one spade. North bid two spades, showing normal support in partners suit, no losers in spades, and slam pos abilities, but the hand is so strong that it looks worthwhile to try for the slam. East would pass and South would then bid three dia- monds to show his five-eard dia- mond suit. West bid three spades.
 North has now accounted for at least nine cards in the South hand four hearts and five diamonds. He himself holds the ace and queen of spades and the ace of clubs to take care of three of the four missing cards. Of course, partner may not have the ace of diamonds. but then the diamond suit could possibly be established to discard losers on, therefore North properly the contract.
 The Play.
 West has the opening lead. Nat urally he does not want to open his own suit when North has al- ready advertised the fact that he holds no losers in that suit. Rath- CT than lead away from either of his three-card suits, West opens trump. Before playing to the first trick, declarer must stop and count his losers. He can rightfully fig- ure no losing spades. but he has a diamond and a club to lose. His only hope Is to establish the fifth diamond to discard the losing club. Therefore, the first trick is won in dummy with the ten of hearts so that diamond can be led to the declarer's king, queen. The six of diamonds is played from dummy, declarer plays the queen, and West wins with the ace.
 West decides to lead jack or spades through dummy's ace, but the declarer takes the finesse and it holds the trick. A small heart is led and won by the declarer with the jack, picking up the out standing trump of the opponents. A small spade is discarded by West. Declarer plays the king of diamonds, discarding the four Of clubs from dummy. Then the deuce of diamonds. and when West covers with the jack, dummy trumps with the five of hearts. A small heart is led from dummy. East discarding the nine of clubs and declarer winning with the ace of hearts. The eight of diamonds Is led by declarer and trumped in dummy with the six of hearts. This picks up the only outstanding diamond-the ten spot in the East hand.
 The ace of spades is led from dummy and then the ace of clubs. Declarers next play is the seven of spades from dummy, trumping in his own hand with the king of hearts. He plays his good seven of diamonds. discarding the seven of clubs from dummy. and then
