Frowning Fannie, glowering at

tricks, by playing off it's clubs.

The 9 of diamonds was led

one heart and one diamond.
Dummy's two lowest spades
were discarded. B discarded
his lowest heart and his low
est spade. No matter what
happened. B could not hope to
win a single trick.
Won Seven Tricks
z had won seven straight
tricks-five clubs and two dia-
monds. Next he took in his J
and 10 of diamonds. giving
him the nine tricks that he
had bid. A followed suit on
the first diamond, then he had
to discard on the second dia-
mond. He held only the ,K-3
of hearts and the K-Q-10 of
spades. A felt that he had to
let go his 10 of spades, and
preserve the guard to his K Of
hearts. The fact that A let go
so high a card as the 10 Of
spades, and guarded his hearts
as much as possible. rather
plainly located the missing K
Of hearts in AS hand.
z had two ways Whereby~he
could play the remaining cards
so as to lose only a single trick.
He could discard another spade
from dummy, leaving in that
hand only the J-S of spades and
the A-10 of hearts; he could
discard the low hear from
dummy, leaving therein the
J-8-7 of spades and the lone ace
of hearts. AS the cards lay 1t

did. z could lose only one
spade trick, by laying down his

thus forcing the winner of that
trick to lead a heart. AS A held
the K of hearts, two hearts in
dummy and and two hearts in
the declaring hand would have
given the declarer the last two
tricks.
The Other Way
However, the declarer elected
to play the hand the other pos
sible way. He discar ded
dummy's heart when he saw A
hold on to his heart guard and
let go the 10 Of spades. The
tenth trick went to the de
clarer's ace of spades, and a
spade lead at the eleventh trick
gave A his one and only trick.
A led his lowest heart. Dummy's
ace won the trick, and its good
j of spades won the last trick.
If played at spades only five
odd could have been made, as
A must have won two trump
tricks. How it happened that
z did not bid clubs. instead OF
no trumps is hard to under
stand. The same kind of
strategy at clubs would have
given the small slam that he
made at no trumps. Possibly a
small slam might have been
bid as clubs. No sane bidder
could have ventured small
slam contract at no trumps.

When Manners
Are Correct
BY MRS. BEECKMAN
The Best Taste

Dear Mrs. Beeckman. Please
tell me if it is proper for me to
send my young man friends
parents a Christmas present?
I have met his parents quite a
few times, although they live
almost 200 miles from here. My
friend went home to stay until
spring. We are secretly engaged.
Please advise me about this.
I do not expect a gift in return.
Under the circumstances. E.
since you don't know these peo-
pie very we'll, and since there
is secrecy about your engage
ment. I think that it would be
in best taste and the way of
wisdom for you not to give
them Christmas presents.
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
Can I give the girl I go
with a box of handkerchiefs,
a bottle of perfume, a ring or
a wrist watch for Christmas?
THANKFUL READER.
The box of handkerchiefs
and the bottle of perfume
would be appropriate, but, un-
less you are engaged to her,
the ring and wrist watch
wouldn't be appropriate. A
man shouldn't give a girl such
consequential presents unless
he is engaged to her.

Pressed by Banks
The money was originally ad-
vanced to the companies by New

threatened to sell the assets
pledged to secure the loans.
Regarding the proposed loan,
the receivers said: - --+--- a,~s-..
"If this plan can be consum-

STORY BACKED

HONOLULU, Oct. 5.-Mrs.
Thalia MaSSie'S statement that
three Navy sailors saw a group
of men drag her into an auto
mobile on Johena Road, near
here, last September II has been
corroborated by Capt. F. j.
Horne, chief of staff at the Pearl
Harbor Naval Base.
Information Given Kay
He said the information was
given to Harold T. Kay, deputy
attorney general of Hawaii, and
added:
"Why the authorities ignored
our reports to them about
these three men, 1 do not
know. When the authorities did
nothing about this, we our
selves took the statement from
the three men,"
Captain Horne confirmed Mrs.
MaSSie'S story that the three
sailors were reluctant to volunteer
their testimony because they were
in a Government truck without
permission. When promised i'm,
munity for this offense, they
made their statements freely.
Capt. John N. Mcintosh, of the
police detective division, declared:
Had we been given the
names of these sailors, they
certainly would have been
called for questioning"
Wight Takes Issue
Griffith Wight, deputy city and
county attorney who prosecuted
the attack case, declared:
"This is the first time 1 have

Presidents Hopes BoIstered
BY Reception Accorded
4 Talk at DeS MoineS

CHICAGO, Oct. 5 I.N.S).
Chicago caught only a passing
glimpse of President Hoover
today as his special train was
switched about for it's journey
TO Washington.
Although the train spent an
hour here, the President did not
come out on the platform to
greet the group Of Republican
leaders and newspaper men. He
was apparently fatigued by his
trip and campaign address at
Des Moines, Ia, last night.
Gov. Leslie Boards Train
Gov. Harry Leslie, of Indiana,
went aboard the train here to
talk politics with the Chief
Executive until the train reached
Fort Wayne, Ind.
President Hoover transformed
his way back toward Washington
through the Central States with
renewed hope the coming month
will witness a nationwide swing
of sentiment to the Republican
party and his own reelection.
Today, as his special train
rolled through Indiana, Ohio, and
Pennsylvania, the President
planned at least 10'rear-platform
speeches, each designed to con-
vince the voters of this section
that he should be returned to
the White House next month for
another four years. He was cam
paigning vigorously in a whirl-
wind fashion somewhat foreign to
him, as if he realized his political
life was at stake.
In Fighting Mood
Last night, at the Iowa State
capital, Mr.. Hoover took off his
gloves and traded vicious body
punches with his Democratic op-
position and heard himself cheered
by a friendly audience at every
turn.
To the farmers, he offered a
12-point program, outstanding of
which was a promise to recon-
mend to Congress that "any an
nual payment on the foreign debt
be used for the specific purpose
of securing an expansion of the
foreign markets for American
agriculture"

Bitterly Arraigns Presidents
Claim to Credit for
Reconstruction

Striking back at President
Hoover's criticism of Demo-
cratic policies, Speaker John N.
Garner, Democratic vice presl-
Dental candidate, today laid
the fundamental cause of the
depression at the door of the
Republican Administration.
He declared in a formal reply
to the President that the Republi-
can leadership has not only
brought disaster" in this coun-
try, but has contributed to the
woes of the world"
Blind to U. S. Blame
Replying to the Presidents
declaration that foreign disasters
are responsible for much OF
Americas trouble, Garner said:
"He is still using those long
range glasses which reveal
nothing except what occurred
in foreign lands. 1t seems
impossible for him to focus
them upon his own country in
an effort to ascertain the real
cause and effect of the depreS-
sion.
HE has not yet discerned
the fact that lack of adminiStrs-
tive initiative and leadership
and blind adherence to ObsO-
Iete policies here in the United
States are the fundamental
cause of the domestic as well
as the world condition"
The real depression, Garner as
serted, began from the moment
the President signed the Hawley-
Smoot tariff act. This, he said,
caused foreign nations to erect
barriers to American trade.
Garner said the President has
cleft a trail of broken promises
behind him" and has Sacrificed
the confidence of the American
people"
Pork Barrel Answer
Although the President criti-
cized the, so-called pork barrel"
building program of the Demo-
cratic House, Garner said, he
now is claiming credit for inaug-
urating a huge Federal conStruc-
ton program to provide employ
ment.
The President, he said, blocked
the program of the Democratic
House which would have assured
farmers the credit necessary to
prevent foreclosures.
Gamers statement follows:
President HOOver's statement
to the effect that he is using
his good offices to prevail upon
the land mortgage companies
and other financial institutions,
to which the Government has
loaned hundreds of millions,
not to fOreclOSe upon homes
and farms is indicative of the
inconsistency that has charac-
terized his entire administra-
ton.
8 "The President vetoed the
measure that would have as
Sured farmers the credit nee
essary to prevent foreclosure.
He asserted at that time that
it would make the Government
broker, and insisted
that loans be extended only to
select clientele. After ex.
