This deal undoubtedly invites considerable variation in the auction bidding. With a two-suited hand of equal length, the higher valued suit Is mentioned first. However, with such great strength in hearts (the lower valued suit), that suit should be selected first.
 East's two diamonds bid is obvi- ous. South is too strong for jump assist and should be content with a bid of two hearts. West should assist his partner with bid of three diamonds. North is now quite content to conceal the two-suited charter of his hand and bids three hearts. East encouraged by his void heart suit and his partners aid carries on to to four diamonds and South is none too timid in bidding four hearts.

Sells First American Legion
 Auxilia1y Poppy To Pres. HO0Ue,'
President Hoover Heartily Endorses Campaign He Gets
 First Bloom of 1881 Memorial Poppy Crop

Washington, D. C.-'The sale of poppies manufactured by disabled ex-service men in the hospitals and elsewhere not only provides them with employment and creates a fund for rehabilitation and child welfare work but it is also an ap- propriate reminder of the sacrifice of those who died in service of our country"
 This endorsement of the Ameri- can Legion Auxiliary's memorial poppy sale was given by President Herbert Hoover recently, after the aims and purposes of the sale were explained to him by Mrs Robert Lincoln Hoyal, of Douglas Ariz, the auxiliary's national president. Mrs Hoyal called on the president at the White House and presented to him the first bloom of the 1881 memorial poppy crop.
 Last year, Mrs Hoyal told the president, the American Legion auxiliary sold 9,961,01S peoples which were worn throughout the country in honor of the World war dead. Every one of these little red flowers was made by a disabled vet ern who received one cent for each flower produced, she explained. The sale was conducted the Saturday be- fore Memorial day with nearly 100.- 900 volunteer workers from the auxiliary offering the flowers to the public. Approximately $1.000,000 was received for the peoples, all of which was used for the welfare of disabled veterans, their families and orphans of the war dead.
 The auxiliary's poppy sale this year will be held May 23, the Sat- urday. before Memorial day. The name American Legion and Ameri- can Legion Auxiliary, that will ap- pear on the bona fide peoples, as-

West rightfully refuses to double
 hearts because the odds are in favor
 of his four hearts being captured.
 However, with both adversaries bid
 ding hearts, 1t Is only fair to assume
 that East is void and he therefore
 bids five diamonds as a probable
 sacrific bid. Five hearts by North
 is most certainly justified.
 At this point some expert players holding East's hand would bid six diamonds. East can have little or no hope of fulfilling. his contract; but his holding and the bidding give him almost absolute. assurance that North and South can make their contract and game; while Vests two assisting bids afford hope that the penalty will not be more than | 200 minus honors. As a matter of fact, the penalty for a six diamond bid will be only 100 minus five hon. ors, total of 50; while North will
 score 245 if the deal is played at l five hearts.
 If North should open the bidding with one spade, South will with equal enthusiasm assist the spade. l North then must insert the heart honor strength. If the hand is played at spades. North will find 1t difficult to go game and cannot make five odd.
 On this deal, East and West can score five diamonds by merely the
 simplest and easiest play. North and South can score five hearts but the play is more difficult. Against the heart bid, the diamond suit will undoubtedly be opened. If North carelessly ruffs the second diamond lead with his small heart. i've odd cannot be scored. He must ruff with the ten, jack or queen. Then he must place the lead with South and lead the nine or eight of trumps. l playing the six from his own hand A second lead from South will nos drop Vests king, so South must bc I put in q second time for the third Trump lead. Inasmuch as North anu South hold eight spades and oniy six clubs. the first or second lead from North to South, for the pur- pCse of f1nessing the heart, should | be the club.

Brokers' Comment

NEW YORK, July 20.-The tone Of
today's brokerage house comment was
more optimistic. Some OF the opinions
follow:
Jackson Bros, Boesel & Co.-Recent
evidences Of strong accumulation In re-
ceding markets have called forth much
inquiry as to the most desirable stocks
for long holding. Obviously, in view Of
the uncertainty surrounding world
financial and domestic business condi-
tons. only particularly strong type Of
stock Is suitable. In our opinion, 1t
should % be backed by a sufficiently
strong financial condition to enable it
to withstand the shock Of the business
depression and ca show either an in
crease in its earning power this year or
at least the ability to retain q good
part of 1t.
r. v. Hiscoe & Cot is our opinion
that we are in a period Of accumula-
ton preliminary to very strong Fall
market, and we are suggesting the ac-
quirement Of selected securities on re-
actions as they materialize.
Frazier, Jake & Cove would take
advantage Of weak spots to make fur
Their long commitments in anticipation
of fairly good market for the next
few weeks.
Shields & Goa very thin trading
market Is to be expected while the Eu-
ropean loan and credit question Is under
discussion.
Redmond & Cove are not yet out
Of the woods, but a conservatively OPP
tiInistic attitude seems warranted, con-
sidering the drastic deflation that has
already occurred In the stock market.
Smith, Graham g. Rockwell-Domes-
tic outlook does not warr0nt q material
rise and it therefore would seem pru-
dent to reduce holdings on such rallies
as may follow foreign developments.
Hornblower & Weeks-We continue to
feel that the developments abroad are
of such magnitude and such a COM
pick nature that q clear understanding
is impossible and warrant a side-line
position until some definitely construc-
tive step is accomplished In the confer
ences that are to be held over the
week end.

INDUSTRIAL ACTIVITY

special dispatch TO The Star.
NEW YORK, July 20.-Industrial
activity In the United States in June
fell per cent from May and registered
a 9.3 per cent decline from the lev9l
prevailing in June. 1880, according to
Electrical Worlds monthly summary of
electrical energy consumption in $500
manufacturing plants scattered through
out the country. Records of plant
operations during the past eight years
show an average drop of points from
the preceding month. The decrease
this year IS therefore ascribed entirely
to usual seasonal changes in the sew
eral industries, but when seasonal adj
lustmentS are APPLIED to the individual
indices, industry Is relatively on the
identical level as in May.
Atnough current industrial activity is
Stlll aDnormany low, comparison with
the Winter minimum shows more favor

per cent over January exceeds that in
any OF the past six years. with the
single exception Of 1927, when the gain
was IO.S per cent. In 1929 the in
el was only 81 per cent: in 1880

BONDS IRREGULAR
IN SMALL MARKET
German Group Is Erratic.
Other Foreign Issues Show
Mixed Changes.
BY F. H. RICHARDSON.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, July 2o.-Today's bond
market moved uncertainty in extremely
dull trading, natural result Of the
lack Of any definite news from abroad.
The list was firm to fractionally higher
at the start, but later reacted narrowly
and held barely steady around Satur-
days closing prices.
The signs OF a new friendliness In
Frances attitude toward Germany were
reflected at the opening In fair volume
Of buying in German government 5 Us
and Dawes reparations rs and other
German bonds. Later, however. cabled
advices from London indicated that
Secretary Stimson and Secretary Mel
lon were considering definite proposals
to rehabilitate Germany'S credit that
would conflict With the French plan to
grant a $500, 900 900 loan carrying GER
tain political conditions. While the
market would view favorably any con-
crete plan put forward by the United
States, there was a feeling that alter
alton of Frances demands would
further prolong the negotiations and
uncover more weak situations in the
German banking field.
German government SIS lost their
opening gain and then moved erratically.

Is acted similarly. Some German
central bank issues we're temporarily
depressed by a private bank suspension
in Bremen. German municipals ranged
from a point lower to fractionally
higher. other European bonds were
also irregular
South American issues were generally
higher despite discouraging develop
ments in the Argentine in both the
wheat and foreign exchange markets
BrazilianS had the best gains. Austria
lians were firm.
The domestic list as usual took its
cue from the movement of the foreign
group. Junior securities were generally
lower Goodrich IS. Interborough Rapid
Transit SIS, Brooklyn Manhattan Transit
IS, Texas Corporation IS and Warner
Bros. 6s were unchanged or slightly
lower Some of the Second-grade rails
were firmer, including Frisco Prior Lien
A IS, Missouri Pacific SIS, Erie SIS, Rock
Island 4i2s and Allegheny SIS Of 1850,
but there were as many Of the same
type with small declines. Prime indus
trials were firm. So were the high-grade
rail and public utility obligations.
Pathe Exchange rs, which dropped as
low as SO in 1880, and were at 81 in
January Of this year, sold at a new high
for either year. The bonds position has
been vastly improved by the company's
disposal Of its chief assets to Radio
