In contract bridge the rarest suc- cessful bid is a pre-emptive bid {. A pre-emptive bid. is made to shut out the opponents, therefore, if you are going to pre-empt do so high enough to make it hard for the opponents to arrive at their cor rect declaration.

In New York

New York.-Life is like that but it's also like this.
 For almost a decade, the St Regis restaurant had been a drop in place for the vaudeville crowu that gathers in front of the Pal ace theater. And since the Palace theater is the particular heaven to- ward which all troupers aspire, the mob was a motley one. Every variety player, whether connected with a tank-time acrobatic num- Der or a neXt-to- closing headline feature, could expect to find some of his friends sitting about the tables.
 Hard times overlook the theater and the crowd of gents who stand upon the curbstone increased in number and decreased in funds. Some borrowed quarters and some bluffed meal out of a fellow per- former. Somehow most of them managed to get coffee money one way or another.
 The cafe owners were not indif- ferent to the status of their cus- toners The prices tumbled like stock quotations. The other day they had to close shop. The cafe couldn't stand the gaff. A cigar store and drug store sandwich counter wiped out another Broad way tradition.
 And that was that!
 But it so happened that in this restaurant was a waitress by the name of May Stewart.
 Every penniless actor that ever drifted into New York knew May. May was one of those "heart-of- gold" characters on the hard-boiled street that you read about. but rarely believe. She had a couple Of daughters of her own to bring up. One married and the other, May belle, Is a dancer who is getting along quite well. There are two grandchildren by the married daughter, and big-hearted "Mom" Stewart wants them to be stage folk. The bright lights have, some how, never lost their glow for her. And after 20 years on the Great White Way!
 Tn her own way. May has be- come a celebrity to celebrities. She is better known to them than they are to you. The biggest of them have had their tough months. Dur ing those workless periods. May would take the meal check and "cuff it" against the future. She would pay these checks out of her salary and tips. And May is no youngster-well past 50, if you asked me!
 "When they're going good, they always pay back" she once con fided when we fell to talking about her generosity. There's not one of them that wouldn't give me his shirt. And this didn't begin yester- day. Listen, young man. used to have Mcintyre and Heath at my table. used to help change the diapers on Eddie Foy's kids. Look at them to-day-ail grown up and making good!
 N"Maybe you don't even remem- ber Eddie Leonard. the minstrel man. He still gives me a wave when he goes by. I've seen them all come and go. don't lose any, thing. And I love it,"
 So it was that May Stewart be- came something of legend, asso- ciated with the cafe that snuggled

AKRON, Ohio, September 23.-"Stand
by to UP ship!"
Handling the modern lighter than
air craft, Akron, worlds largest, re-
uuires a series of commands that would
sound strange to old seadogs OF the
United States Navy.
Stand by to up ship" is one OF the
last in the process of getting the Dig
dirigible afloat.
CUP ship is the next. At this COM
naand the ship Is released from the
mooring mast, and members OF the
ground crew at the forward car use
long poles with padded, Y-shaped ends
called crutches to push against the
hand rails, lifting the ship into the air.
Men at the after car push upward with
their hands as long as they can reach
the rails.
In a free balloon take-oh the motive
power is not applied until q safe alti-
tude of about 200 feet Is attained. Then
the swiveling propellors begin turning
to push the ship upward.
When the dirigible Is walked from
her dock, leeward wire handling lines
FIRST are detached and the windward line
slackened to permit the nose to swing
into the wind.
The rear taxi wheel Is removed and
the aft bumper bag attached.

CHICAGO. September 23.-Fron q
geometric point Of view Rocco wasn't
Rocco at all. He was his brother.
He studied diligently. but when ex-
animation time came the theorems of
geometry proved too much for him, and
he fiunked. It was then that he went
to his teacher Mrs. Anastasia Springer,
she charged, and threatened to beat
her up unless she gave him credit for
the Summer school course he had
lust finished. She obtained a warrant.
Rocco, whose last name Is Alter,
was brought into court. The teacher
looked at him and shook her head. He
was not the Rocco she knew. His
brother, Daniel, IT, was summoned.
Then a story of brotherly love that
went awry came to light.
MY brother, Rocco" said Daniel,
needed credit in the course to enroll
in the University of Illinois this Fall.
He had a Job and our folks needed the
money he earned so he couldn't attend
Summer school I told him I would
go under his name and he would get
the credit"
Daniel got of with probation for a
year. Judge j. William Brooks told
him he would give him a drastic
sentence" II he bothered the nnathe-
mates instructor any more.
