New York. Dec. l6.-tRl-Mr. and
Mrs. Ely Culbertson Wednesday had
40 more points than Sidney s. LEM
and Oswald Jacoby in q marathon
test Of rival systems of contract
bridge.
The lead was accumulated during
the seventh session of play which de-
veloped much argument as to whether
each side was using its own system as
stipulated and agreed. Eight rubbers
were played and each team won four.
But the Culbertsons converted .
deficit of Is points into q plus.
With virtually one-third OF the
match-48 rubbers-finished the Cul-
bertsons have won q rubbers, two less
than their rivals.
The plus Of the Culbertsons for the
series and for the seventh session Is
explained largely by the fact the rep
resentatives Of the official" system
have lost more by sets, especially
when vulnerable. Earlier In the Sc
ries Lenz and Jacoby often went
down deliberately. This policy has
ceased paying dividends for them.
It cost the Culbertsons points also
after one m. Wednesday. After the
48th rubber had been played they
were $500 ahead. Two more hands
and their lead rose to l.76o. the great
est 1t has been. Lenz and JAcoby

In to save the rubber regardless.

Tsang had consented to assume the

How far a new Manchurian state

Chinese leaders who hitherto have
headed autonomous governments
have said they acted under japanese

have scarcely taken the trouble to
deny it. asserting the reluctance OF
Chinese leaders to participate In an

to fear Marshall Chang Hsueh Liang

JOHN r. FLECK, Fleck Mo-
tor Sales, Inc:
THE present business condi-
tions remind me Of 1921. We all
at that time thought that the
world was coming to an end. A
few months later, business start
ed to pick up and in q very short
time it was back to normal and
we had good business conditions
until late In 1929.
1T feel confident that within
the next few months business
will be back almost to normal. I
am sure that business will come
back more rapidly than it did In
1921, because the dollar has Q
much greater value than it has

Women's Hands Larger Than Ancestors

moreover, are able to wear the we'd
