Women Excel Men
AS Bridge Players
Champion Asserts
Husband(and Wife Battles
at Game Table, Seen as
Divorce Remedy.

BY the Associated Press. !
CHICAGO. May 25.--Take N,the word
of Ely Culbertson, recent winner of the
Harold Vanderbilt bridge championship
trophy, for the statement that women
are better bridge players than men.
THE average man." said CulbeNtson,
thinks he's perfect. He thinks he has
nothing to learn. Woman players know
more and study more. believe one
reason women take to bridge is because
1t gives them an opportunity to settle
the intellectual score with their hus-
bands at the card table"
When couples fight at bridge, he says,
it is generally because of something
else that happened before they got to
the party. Not only this, he adds, but
fighting it out this way prevents more
serious difficulties, and therefore pre-
vents more divorces than 1t causes.

NAVAL ACCORD
NEAR, PARIS
BELIEVES

lftical observers were on the "qui
vive" today as Foreign Secretary
Arthur Henderson and First Lord
r Of the Admiralty A. v. Alexander,
Of Great Britain, remained in
Paris to confer further with ex.
perts of the French foreign office
The sole comment of foreign
office spokesman after the meet,
ing today was:
Reports that a naval accord
has been reached here are pre-
mature"
The two British ministers and
II. L. Craigie, the foreign office
expert, yesterday called on Ar's
tide BRAND and were oloseted
with him for more than an hour.
OptimiStS on the Quai D'OrSay
predicted an early solution If the
naval difficulties between France
Italy and Britain, which ately
have given indication of precipi.
tating another naval building
race.
It was believed that sudden
new developments brought the
British ministers to Paris post
haste in the hope Of effecting not
only a Franco-Italian agreement
but of bringing both Latin mowers
eventually to sign the london
naval treaty between Great Brit
ain, the United States and
Japan, extending the pact thus to
o five-power agreement, original
intention Of its sponsors.
BERLIN, Feb. "a GNS0.-A
, number of the leading German
papers today charged Great Brit
ain with betraying land disarma-
ment agreements as the price Of
French naval concessions. The
charges were made on informa-
ton from Paris that a naval ac-
cord was possible due to sudden

Breath is sweet; eyes brighter; you

pleasant way to be rid of constipation
ills is with candy Cascarets. They are
made from cascara-a never-failing
laxative-as any doctor will tell you
and a laxative that actually helps
strengthen the bowel muscles. So the
prompt, harmless relief Cascarets
always bring is lasting! Their gentle,
thorough action makes them ideal
for elderly people. Children love
