The writer has long advocated the
use of the One over One, and under
the Mckinney system of contract
bidding it is employed as follows:
Surprising you held:
Spades-A K XXX
HeartS-X
Diamonds-A K x
CluOs-X
You would open with II diamond,
your four-card suit. We will assume
that the opponents always pass. Your
partner bids one heart. He Is asking
you to rebid and shows at least one
and one-half tricks. You can re-
Spond with two %spades-a jump shift
forcing bid now, demanding that
partner keep the bidding open until
game is arrived at. You have told
partner that your hand holds four
diamonds and five spades. If he re-
bids his hearts he Immediately adj
vises you that he cannot support your
five-card suit, and that he holds at
least five hearts himself, therefore
you car bid for game in hearts, ever
though you hold only three.
The above type of hand is rather
simple to Lid. The one that will
cause the beginner the most confu-
sion is the type where We will say you
open with ol.e heart. Partner bids
one spade, making a forcing One over
One bid. Now If you simply hold a
four-card heart suit and only vo1lr
two and one-half quick tricks and not
normal support in spades, you will re-
ply to partners One over One spade
bid with one no trump, advising part
ner that your hand contains a four
card suit and is a minimum.
If you hold a five-card heart suit
and still a minimum. you will reply
with two hearts. advising partner of
the fact that you hold at least a five

C0INERS' RING
THOUGHT Barred
Arrest Seven and Seize
$685. in Bogus Money
in New York Raid.

BIZ United Press
NEW YORK, May 20.-Arrest Of
four men and three women and
seizure Of more than $4,000 in
counterfeit notes in an uptown
apartment here, was believed today
to have broken up a nationwide
ring of wholesale" bogus money
dealers.
A wide search was under way to-
day for what is believed to be a
gigantic printing plant some
where in New Jersey"
Agents first learned the country
was being flooded with bogus bills
when the counterfeit money ap-
peared in Wheeling, w. Va, five
months ago.
Women "Passers" Hired
Next it appeared in Ohio and then
throughout the middle west. 1t was
noticed here about six weeks ago.
The ring, according to investi-
gators, was engaged in both whole
sailing at a fraction OF the face
value and passing the bogus money
on small retailers.
In the latter phase of the fraud,
women "paSsers" were hired to
make purchases, tender the bills
and receive the change.
The raid here came after detec-
tives had purchased $500 worth of
the fake money in $40 and $40
denominations for SITS.
Seize Bills Worth" $4,000
The men arrested are Lucieno
Barbara, So; Giovanni Bertini, Sc;
Anthony Cardose, "a, of New York,
and Manuel Perieri, alias Perry
Of Yonkers.
Information obtained from the
men led to a raid on the uptown
apartment, where police seized Rose
Crosse, "a, and Marie Bruno. q.
A third woman was taken into Gus
tody.
Police said they found bills of
$40, $40 and 500 denominations
amounting to 5000 wadded in the
mattress of a bed.

DENY PLEA TO MAKE
CHURCH STOREROOM
ZOning Board Rules in Favor of
Forty Property Owners.

Petition to convert the old Uni
versity Place Christian church
building at 1855 North Capitol ave-
nue. into storerooms was denied by
the zoning appeals board Tuesday
afternoon when approximately forty
property owners protested the move.
The church last year was merged
with the North Park Christian
church to form the University Park
church. Church officials explained
they sought to retire $4,000
mortgage on the building by leasing
it for storerooms and lodge rooms.
The board continued hearing on
petition of the Gulf Refining Com
pany to install new $4,000 gallon
gasoline storage tank at 1910 South

RENO 'LEGGERS
UNEASY; WATCH
ALL CUSTOMERS
Garry FuII-Page Ads, but
Refuse to Admit Any
unknown.

BIZ United Press
RENO, New, May 2o.-Recent
raids on Las Vegas liquor establish
ments by federal prohibition agents
caused apprehension today among
Reno bootleggers, night club own
ers and speakeasy operators, and
resulted in adoption of stringent
regulations.
Wide open conditions that have
prevailed since adoption of new
gambling and divorce laws gave way
TO elaborate rules regarding Wis
itors TO Reno's parlors of revelry.
An odd circumstance arose as re-
sorts and night clubs continued to
carry full-page advertisements in
local newspaper, but refused ad-
mittance to any one unknown to
doorkeepers.
Scan All Customers
Many Of the places, including the
famous willows club, would serve
only soft drinks, their proprietors
uneasy over the possibility that the
dry agents might move from Las
Vegas to Reno. Even the best
customers were compelled to stand
in line : and submit to scrutiny
through peepholes before allowed to
enter.
Lookouts and spies have been
stationed to watch every incoming
train and airplane.
They have been stationed in
Truckee, Cal, to watch all auto
mobiles passing through there and
report on those bearing groups Of
men. These spies know the faces of
dry officers.
Have Warning System
If all these precautions fail and
a raid is conducted, the word will
be flashed to all other resorts in
the city and they will be closed
within few minutes. There is no
state liquor law and local police
have no authority to arrest boot
leggers.
A month ago several OF the
speakeasies were raided by a CAL
ifornia flying squadron"
Police Chief Jack Kirkley ex-
planned why the warning system
failed to function.
"They got the high sign all right,
but were too greedy to sit tight for
a night" he said. "They got just
what they deserved

BY BEN STERN


VXTHEN Representative William
WE. Conner Dem, Marion) was
called before the Marion county
grand jury to testify as to his
knowledge concerning any peculiar
tiles in the passage Of House Bill 6,
of which he was the sponsor, legis-
lative correspondents wondered
whether he would be questioned re-
garding a dinner for which he was
host week or so before the close
of the general assembly.
Motive of this dinner, given in
downtown hotel, with approx
imately twenty-five legislators pres
ent, the majority Republicans, has
been shrouded in secrecy.
When Conner extended the invi-
tations he refused to divulge It's
purpose and has been strangely
reticent regarding the affair ever
since.
Nominated and supported by la
Dor, Conner voted consistently with
this group and was dominated by it
during the session.
1t is no secret that the three leg
islative lobbies were for House Bill
6, which removed the city's juris-
diction over bus operators and gave
control to the public service COM
mission.
The railroads were for the bill be-
cause it would result in stringent
regulations and control of independ-
ent contract truck carriers.
Organized labor worked for it be-
cause employees of the railroads are
unionized, whereas the bus and
truck drivers are not, and by aiding
the railroads to drive the contract
carriers out of business, vacancies
would be created for employment of
union railroad employees.
The utilities favored the measure
because the big bus companies are
owned by the various interurban
traction companies and public serv-
ice commission control would ham
per the Independent bus operators.
Besides, the insult interests didn't
want the city authorities debating
the bus routes in various towns.
n Il
1t is no secret that Conner did
not know the context of the bill
when he introduced it.
Attending this mysterious dinner
were the men who could get legisla-
ton through the house. These were
the Democratic floor leader, DELPHI L.
McKesson, Plymouth; Representa-
tive Fabius Gwin, Shoals; Herbert
P. Kenney, New Albany, all Demo-
Gratis, and Miles Furnas of Win
chester, Republican whip; James
M. Knapp of Hagerstown, Repub-
lican floor leader, and others infiu-
entail in the legislature.
Corners continued reticence con-
corning this dinner has been a
source Of wonder to those members
not invited.

Science
Births Of Boys Top Girls in
Prosperous Glasses.

The more cultured and prosperous q
community, the greater is the excess OF
boy babies over girl babies.
This curious relationship Is found In
Bureau of Census statistics and re.
ported by Sanford Winston of North
Carolina State College in the American
journal of Sociology.
More boys arc born, anyway. Since
1915. Winston finds, the birth ratio
of the United States has been 1855
boys to 100 girls. But among coloree
persons. whose economic conditions
generally are poorer, the excess is only
90, The ratio is higher among native
than among foreign-born whites.
Among one-child families, Winston
finds, there Is the astonishing excess of
II boy babies for each 100 girls With
two-child families probably the most
common among Americans in prosperous
circumstances-the excess Is 81. Then
the ratio falls until there is an excess
of only six for five-child families.
Related to this Is the fact that the
size of the family tends to decline
as the social, economic and educational
level rises.
There is some factor in the life proc
ess before birth, winston believes, that
makes the male more likely to succumh
to various stresses than the female.
There would be a great excess Of male
over female births II conditions sur
rounding the mother we're ideal. Where
poverty and ignorance are the rule this
excess tends to be overcome by pre-
natal deaths.
Winston foresees "man- dominated
world" as living conditions improve.
