BONUS BILL IN OPERATION

All machinery of the Federal Gov
eminent availble for the payment of
increased loans to veterans under
the new bonus bill was put in motion
Friday afternoon within two hours
of the repassage of this measure
over the Presidents veto.
This action by the Senate, taken
by vote of rs to II, gave the bill
the full effect of law and was signal
to the veterans administration to
begin at once extending such relief
to the former service men as might
be demanded.
President Hoover, in a statement
issued after the Senate had acted, an
nounced that orders had gone out to
the veterans administration to put
aside all other matters and give
priority to all loans that might be call
ed for by the men most in need.
The Senate's action was anticipat-
ed and the Administration was pre-
pared to commence its relief work
at once. A total of so, OOO, 900 was
found to be available Immediately for
advances on the service certificates,
all of which may now be discounted
up to fifty per cent of their face
value.
Of this sum SIT, $50, 600 was placed
at the disposal of the regional offices
of the Veterans Administration and
81, CSC, 900 was held for distribution
by the headquarters officials in
Washington. Many times $50. 1000, :
600 will be needed before the former
service men are satisfied, even
though the minimum number apply
for loans.
A total of 342 loans were made at
close OF first days business in Wash
ington alone. The loans ranged
from a little less than 500 to
slightly less then $500

PROHIBITION AMENDMENT
UPHELD

Some weeks ago the wet press
throughout the country devoted
columns of space, with scare heads,
to the decision of Federal Judge Will
liam Clark, of Newark, N. j., that
the. Prohibition amendment was i'm
properly ratified by legislatures, but
when this decision of Judge Clark
was reversed avfew daysgago by the
United States Supreme Court, they
hardly made mention'of the fact.
The United States Supreme Court,
the highest tribunal in the land, on
Feb. "a, by unanimous decision held
the Prohibition amendment valid.
The sscourt, speaking through its
innior justice, Owen j. Roberts, re-
iterated what it said I'M 1920, that
the amendment, by lawful proposal
and ratification, has become part
of the Constitution. "
= This time the court did what it did
not doin the famous 1920 prohibition
cases. 1t explained why Congress
was right in proposing that the
/, Eighteenth Amendment be put up to
state legislatures instead of special
state conventions for ratification.
Cox,oro1 similar "a COG are now mend.
ing before Federal courts, but this
decision will be a peecedent, it is be-
lieved, for / ,iecting any future ap'
peals fol Supreme Court reviews.

varions other attacks on the amend
ment and upheld the Volstead laws

Just What Does Become
of Millions of Needle q ?

Life is full of little mysteries. Tons
and tons of steel, for instance, are
turned every year into razor blades.
Blades are used and discarded by the
million. Where do they 60? And
pins. About fifty years ago it was
calculated that enough pins had been
made in England to cover the whole
surface Of the land. Since then their
manufacture has gone on at an in
creasing rate. They are bought and
used and dropped--and they just dis
appear. Somehow you can understand
a pin disappearing. for 1t is made Of
soft brass. which soon becomes cor
roded. Rnt what about needles
Needles are made Of very hard steel.
They don't wear out and their busl-
ness ends retain their sharpness al
most indefinitely. Yet one firm In
England has been manufacturing
needles at the rate Of three and a half
millions week for many years. and
for over two hundred years millions
have been pouring out steadily from
works at Redtlitch. Nowadays mod
ern machinery enables one grinder to
point 100000 needles In a day. Every
week Redditch sells enough needles
to supply every man, woman. and
child in the country with one apiece.
Each of US loses on the average one
needle a week throughout his or her
life.

At the recent Ninth Annual AS.
phalt Paving Conference, Norman M.
Blaney, Director of Farm to Market
Roads of the American Farm Bureau
Federation, spoke on Making Every
Farmers Gate his Shipping Point. y
He pointed out that nearly 5000,
600 farms are located on dirt roads,
impossible during many months oil
the year, and said: ''Unless the far.
mer has highway from his front
gate to his primary market, passable
365 days of the year, he is seriously
handicapped.
Every state should conider Mr.
Blaney's statement. Millions of dol
lars have recently been appropriated
for road work and will be spent this
year. In the beginning of our great
highway Development it was neces
sary to use practically all general roac
funds for main highways. Farm
roads were largely left to take care
of themselves.
Now to get the most value from
our main highways it is imperative
that all feeder roads be developed as
rapidly as possible.

Administration measures provid-
ing for the calling of Constitutional
convention tn 1882, were introduced
in both houses of the Maryland
General Assembly on Friday.
The bills were an aftermarth OF the
November election, the question
whether sufficient votes were cast to
require converting of such conven-
ton having been wildly discussed.
Governor Richie, in sending the
measure to the Legislature, declared
he could not ignore the fact that the
majority of the votes cast on the
question were in favor of the conven-
ton. He said that only the Court OF
Appeals could really decide the ques-
ton, and the best policy was to let
the Legislature pass the measures
and place them before that tribunal
for ruling.

THE SEASON OF LENT

Lent began this year on Feb. IL.
II is the outstanding season OF the
Church year. For 40 days believing
Christians attempt to make lie dit
ferent through remuneration and as
piration. Social activities are held
to the minimum.
Lent comes from the Anglo-SaxCn
word meaning Spring. This season
comes always in the spring OF the
year. The keynote is life's overcast
ingness. AT first the season lasted
but a day. The Third Century
Christians feasted for a week and
separated themselves from worldly
things in preparation for Easter.
Holy Week recalled the last acts and
suffering of our Lord on earth. A
century later the Christian Unurch
heightened the season to Az days.
1t is easy to see why THIS period has
continued to the present. Both in
the Old and New TestamentS facts
and meditations were continued Tor
40 days. The idea has rooted itself
into the Christian consciousness.
For 16 centuries passing generations
have celebrated Lent.
There is no particular significance
in the length of the season. There
is no essential virtue in the profess
sionallzed act of fasting. One time
of the year is as good as another.
Individual choice is as important as
the collective recognition of SPECIFIC
period. There is, however, an ad-
vantage in sharing at one place and
time the inspirations and privileges
of large groups OF people. There
is strength in NUMBERS. Th.re is
dynamic urge in carefully prepared
programs. 10 be alone with the
presence of God comes frequently
through groups who set themselves
apart with specific intentions and
specific CONSIDERATIONS.

HOUSE SEATS REAPPOR.
TONED BY CENSUS

Automatic reapportionment OF
House seats on the basis of the 1886
census will go into effect at noon on
March A. II
Thirty-two States affected by the
law making the new representation
alignment then will receive official
notice from William Tyler Page,
House Clerk, of the number OF seats
they are to have for ten years, be-
ginning with the Seventy-third Con-
gress.
Under the Act of 1926, reappor-
tionment based on the 1880 census is
automatic unless Congress changes
the law. Efforts were made by Rep
resentives from States losing seats
to increase the number, but sufficient
strength could not be mustered to
force the bill out of committee even
after prolonged hearings.
Under the new apportionment, as
annouced by President Hoover in
November, 21 States lose 81 seats to
II States.
California gains 9, Michigan 4,
Texas 8. Two additional seats each
90 to New Jersey, New York and
Ohio Connecticut, Florida, North
Carolina, Oregon and Washington

State losing are: Missouri, 3; Geor-
gia, Iowa, Kentucky and Pennsyl-
vania, 2 each; Alabama, Indiana,
Kansas, Maine, Minnesota, Mississip-
ri, Massachusetts, Nebraska, North
Dakota, Rhode Island, South Carroll

mont, Virginia and Wisconsin, lose

GOVERNORS FAVOR NEW
ROADS
Building Operations Planned
On Large Scale

On Large scale
The Delaware Automobile Associa-
ton, associated with the American
Motorists Association, has made pub
lie the survey made by the Legisla-
tive body of the National organiza-
ton showing that 40 Governors in
their addresses before their Legisla-
lures this year have advocated road
building programs.
Discussing the surveyL. L. Hoops,
secretary of the Delaware A. A.,
said:
Emphatic denunciation of the
tendencies of some states to divert
motor vehicle revenue to other than
highway construction and mainten-
ance, was voiced by the governors
of Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan,
Navada and Utah. 'To divert motor
vehicle revenue means self-stultifica-
tion," Governor O. H. Dern (Utah)
declared.
Gas a matter of highway financing,
the states of Delaware, Indiana and
Minnesota are now on pay-as-you-go
basis, Governors of those states de-
clared. The Chief Executive of
eight states, however, informed their
law making bodies that bond issues
are necessary for highway construc-
ton. These were: Alabama, Iowa,
Montana, Nevada, New Jersey,
Oregon, Texas and West Virginia.
Gov. Albert C. Richie (Md.) rec
commended a discontinuance of an
annual bond issue each year. in his
state of $1,052, 600 used to match
Federal aid. This sum, he tells his
Legislature, can be taken annually
from license fees and gasoline taxes,
thus shifting the burden from the
general tax payer to the motorists.
''The need for secondary highways
is urged by the Governors of Arkan-
sas, California, Connecticut, Illinois,
Vermont, Iowa and Ohio. Gov.
Emerson Qll.) stresses the need of a
definite program for the elimination
of grade crossings in his state while
Governor Hammill Qowa.) declares
interstate toll bridges adjusted to
Iowa's state borders must go.
''On the subject of motor carriers,
BUSES and heavily loaded trucks, of
both intra and interstate character,
the Governors of 10 states recon-
mended to their Legislators the need
! for regulatory legislation as to size,
overlooking and special taxation.
These were: Alabama, Arkansas,
Indiana, Kansas, Maine, Minnesota,
Michigan, Missouri, New Mexico,
and Wyoming" this survey con-
cludes North Dakota, Oklahoma,
Vermont and Wyoming.

usual situations. Today we have the triple squeeze combined with the Vienna coup for a grand slam.
 The charm of making an extra trick, where the declarer is assured of making his contract or at least or making game, may not appear very strongly to a great number of bridge players. It is true that even the aver age player will use in genuity to score his game but beyond that his am bitions seem to come to an abrupt end.
 On the contrary, it should be the aim of every player to strive for the greatest number of tricks possible. The advanced player and particu- larly the tournament player consid- CTS it 8 matter of reproach for fail- ing to make the maximum score.
 Whether, after a pass by East, South should enter the bidding with one or four, diamonds, to say the least, open to argument. South will obviously insist on playing. the hand at diamonds. regardless of any ob- stinacy that may be manifested by West.
 In my opinion, the bidding gives the clue to- the play, of the hand and should be as follows: South, one diamond, West double and East fear lessly obeys the mandate by a bid of two clubs. South properly bids two diamonds. Three clubs by West is again overcalled by South with three diamonds.
 While West is strong enough to

up two good hearts in Vests hand. The squeeze IS now certain. Trumps are continued to the end of. the ninth trick leaving South with two spades, the jack of hearts and the club sevene.
 West on the ninth trick finds him. self still retaining one good heart, the high club and three spades. He must part with a card. If he discards either the heartfor club. South's card in that suit becomes winner and on the next lead of that winning card West is again squeezed. If West. instead of parting with the good heart or club, discards another spade North makes all his spades.
 A beautiful and difficult deal to play. One of the most difficult in all my experience. There is also an op-. tional play to this hand involving a straight pressure squeeze. Only three of the Il players seated in the South position made the Vienna coup.
