 aressively. It is said by adminis- tration friends that the way to meet this situation is to emphasize that the debts were piled up under a democratic administration. The republican administration came in finding these debts confronting the nation and has done everything possible to proceed with their coll lection, the story will be.
 As to the anti-Hoover argument that the nation is rapidly being embroiled in European politics, re- publicans emphasize that it was a democratic administration which sought to plunge the country di- rectly into the League of Nations and the treaty of Versailles. that the republicans prevented it, and that in its present activities it has not made a single political com mitment in Europe.

 Mrs Culbertson, showed the strain of battle more than others. There was little or no talking at the table. Oulbertson, usually in- clined to leave the room whenever he's dummy, stayed in his chair and watched his wife shower down the aces and kings.
 Mrs Culbertson became so nerv- ous that, at her suggestion, the room was cleared of all spectators creak of the floor boards, every footfall or rasping whisper back of the leather "peep screen" caused her to start.
 The main part of the exciting without benefit of spectators. This only served to increase the tension outside.
 The cards fell in favor of the Culbertsons, but Ely and Josephine were playing superb bridge.

 Among those who dropped in during the evening for a peep at the contest were Richard l.. Simon and M. Lincoln Schuster, publish CTS of Lenz's books on bridge. Schuster revealed that LenZ's books have picked up in sales between 400 and 500 per cent as a direct result of the match with Culbert- son. Culbertson's books have gain ed in sales proportionately Schu- ster confirmed the general opin- ion that the columns of newspaper publicity given the match are con- verting hundreds of thousands to the game which is a tough break for the various bridge system pulp fishers.
 Queer distributions featured the hands of the interesting fortieth rubber, which probably contributed to the failure of the Culbertsons to realize, on the last hand of the night, that a four-four-three-tw split of trumps gave them an op- portunity to save game and rubber. The hand, deal No. 227 of the match, follows:

Ordinarily the Culbert- son system requires an honor count of three for an informatory dou- ble, but the opponents had 60 to- ward their rubber game, and Mrs Culbertson wanted to tell her hus- band that she had help in any suit he might bid other than diamonds.

MANY VILLAGES

100 Acres of Earth and Rocks Are Moving Dynamite Being Used to Divert the Slide

Chambery, France, Mar 13- (UP)-Dynamite charges were laid today in the path of great noun tain landslide which threatened to destroy several villages in the Sa- voie valley.
 The slide of close to 100 acres of earth and rocks already has de- molished two small hamlets from which the inhabitants escaped driv- ing their cattle and carrying such personal belongings as they could remove. There were no casualties.
 The mass of earth was moving at the rate of 120 feet a minute when it started down the mountainside, crushing trees and farm houses in it's path, but it had slowed down to pace of 300 feet an hour by the time engineers reached the scene and began laying dynamite to turn the slide away from the threatened villages.
