U. S. SCHOOL TAX URGED
National Education Council Hears
! Plea for Levy.

HOT SPRINGS, Ark, December 7
R.-Advocating some form of Federal
levy for school support other than the
property tax, Webster H. Pearce, super
intendent Of Michigan public schools,
yesterday said this method, If adopted
would successfully meet the crisis
facing education throughout the Nation. 4"
Addressing the annual convention of
the National Council of State Super
1ntendents and Commissioners of Edu-
cation, Pearce said such legislation
should provide for a return of q certain
per cent Of the amount collected within
each State to that State for educa-
tion.
The stabilization Of education on a
Nationwide basis, he said, would have a
strong influence toward complete ma
tional sterilization.
The council elected Charles Lee of
Missouri president and Pearce vice
president.

be return 10 the corrupt Con-
vention system. This would MOI
be necessary, as anyone desiring
to run for a political office can
! file as they do under the present
law All of the candidates names
would then be placed on one bal
lot. and either be rejected or ell
ected at general election. As
an example in the coming cleo
ltion on April 26 the voters upon
presenting themselves at the polls
| will be asked as to their party
affiliations and will be given a
Republican OF Democratic ballot
in accordance with their wishes.
1t is my belief that all Of the
names. including those OF indepen
dent candidates should be incor-
porated into one ballot. and those
receiving the greatest number OF
ballots be declared elected for the
office to which they aspire.
The money saved by holding
only one election could be used
to good advanta ge on one of the
following essential projects: roads
education, pioneer pensions. or for
survey of mining. fishing and
fur resources
BY placing the name of all the
candidates on one ballot and hold
ing one election it would be i'm
possible for members Of one party
who have no contest on their own
ticket, to vote the ticket of the
opposition and elect the weakest
opposition candidates at the pr
mary election. This practice has
teen resOrted TO many times in

1T is the intellectual appeal Of bridge that

of the game Is Insignificant. The good player
will always prefer duplicate to rubber play, for
in the former the element Of luck Is almost
completely superseded by the battle Of wits

hold the same hands in the course of the
session.
Contract has every desirable characteristic
to make it the ideal indoor pastime for our
people. 1t takes their minds off private or
business worries. II rests the brain, not
through idleness but by providing a different
incentive to thought. Finally. It includes the
competitive factor in its 5roadest aspect since

I'VE were to play SO boards. each board a
match After playing IS boards. we stopped
for lunch, and our team had a slight lead.
TN the second session we felt our lead slip
away as hand after hand appeared TO turn out
badly for our side. On the very last hand we
had to decide whether to overbid two tricks in
diamonds evidently with honors against us,
and take penalty, doubled, and lose $50
points. or let the opponents hold the bid in
hearts and score sure game With divided
hcnors this would net them only 1877 or 1877
points, with perhaps eight points more if
they made ffve-odd-far less than our penalty
However. both my partner and 1 concluded
that they had massed honors. four in one
hand, as they were bidding the hand exactly
as they had bid hand with 80 honors early
in the match so we took our penalty and won
the board thereby. as Chicago had 80 honors
and would have scored 247 in hearts (as our
partners did at the ether table,. against

way to the scoring room and found that by

ESPITE the fact that he has been
winner of 18 national bridge
championships and that he was the
Overwhelming victor IN the experts
recent poll to choose Americas
greatest contract player, Philip Hal
Sims has devoted a relatively small part of his
life to cards.
Mr. Sims is first an outdoor sportsman, Sec
ond contract expert. And that is amaz-
ing fact. Other bridge champions have de-
voted their lives entirely to cards. They think
in terms of cards, talk in terms of cards, act
in terms of cards. Aces and knaves and tens
play as important a part in their lives as
spouses sweethearts in your existence and
mine. Being an expert" means constant
practice and play, making an endless round
of tournaments and showmanship, counting
time by the number of cigarettes consumed
in play.
It. therefore, is doubly peculiar paradox
that Hal Sims, who is rarely seen at New
York card club and who spends most of his
daylight hours on the tennis court or in break
ing 30 on the golf links, can generally trim
most of the contract players who work at the
game constantly.
Wherever fine contract players gather. from
Maine to California, his name is mentioned
with respect Yet he has not written book.
He has never lectured on bridge nor even
given lesson professionally. His theories
and his wisdom have been impaired only to his
teammates and those of his guests in whom he
visualizes future champions. Nevertheless,
wherever he plays, eager students of contract
bridge crowd behind his chair with breathless
interest.

often it isn't anything of the sort" came
the surprising response. 1T is only a game
and an indoor game at that. If it's sunny
day, there's not much excuse for person who
sits indoors and plays bridge. I do believe,
however, that contract, If played intelligently,
is the finest of all games for the leisure hours
Of the night. I look on it as contest be-
tween ones mind and the efforts OF the cards
to hide their secrets.
The cards not the opponents are the real
adversary. Use them well treat them with
respect. In their turn they will tell you their
! secrets and help you in your plans. II you
underrate their mystery and defy them, or try
to force them to accomplish miracles, they
will band together to destroy you.
