More Card PLAYERS

Persons who have difficulty in
finding "a fourth for bridge may
take some comfort in the fact that
it is fairly universal situation, for
it seems that more cards are being
played now than ever before in the
nations history.
The playing-card industry is one
of the few that registered an increase
in sales from 1880 to 1891 and pre-
liminary figures show the tendency
is continuing into 1882. Sales for
1881 were almost 100000 packs,
which was some 100000 more than
for 1880.
1t may be that people are staying
at home more now than they used
to and are playing cards to amuse
themselves. The principal factor is
said to be the tremendous increase in
the number of bridge addicts.
This game is said to be played by
more persons, either in auction or
contract form, than any other game
in the history of the world.

to "humanize" Hoover
have failed lamentably.
He has personality as cold as the
late Fairbanks, who once presided so
impeccably over the United States
senate.
With 100000 men walking the
streets jobless, with the embattled
farmer picketing several agricultural
fronts, with millions of Legionnaires
hostile and jeering, with business in
the doldrums generally and most
voters eager for a change, whether
for better or for worse, the election
of Hoover in any event will be a po-
litical miracle. Such miracles have
happened before. They may happen
again.
With all these conditions confront
ing the nation, we reiterate that pre-
dictions are dangerous, but it is going
to be glorious battle and much po-
litical gore, figuratively speaking we
hope, will flow before the decision is
known.
On with the battle.

The Suns EclipSe

New England and the lower PROV
inces of Canada witnessed today a
total eclipse of the sun. This great
mystery of the skies always holds
great interest for the masses and the
scientists gaze and seek to learn more
of the observation caused when the
moon passes between the earth and
the SUM-
There were only 100 seconds of to-
tai eclipse but during that time what
a mass of data was compiled. Mil
lions gazed upon the scene unterri-
fled because science has long since
explained a few features of the
eclipse. Centuries ago hosts of peo-
pie were alarmed and viewed the
plotting out of the sun as vista
ton of some god or a warning of
wrath to come.
Now the school-boy of tender years
knows what causes the deep shadow
across the flaming sun. but no scien-
fist has as yet solved the entire mys-
terry.
Astronomers have been asking for
ages: What is the corona? Why is
the sun hot? OF what is it made?
How long has it been shining?
The eclipse starts a new trend OF
questioning, a volley of speculative
answers and fresh thumbing of the
records.
To most of us, when the shadow
passes and the light beams play
again, the eclipse will be just the
repetition OF another astronomical
mystery. The mathematicians will
tell us to the very day and hour
when the next one will come. This
eclipse will be forgotten soon by most
of us; no one will worry and the SUI
perstitious will light no sacrificial
fires or offer gifts to the gods. Science
now permits us to enjoy our eclipseS
in ease and without fear.
The most that the masses will get
out of the eclipse is smudged face
when getting too close to the smoked
glass. Others versed in skylore will
feel enthralled as when some new
star swims into ken. The scientist
has worked months to be ready for
those 100 seconds. He saw the mys-
teries and hidden secrets of the skys
denied to most of us. Out of this
eclipse may come new theories and
new solutions. Science is always
mailing down more vital facts.

No Foreclosures!
(nlililfh Haraldl

Word has gone out from the gov
eminent to every receiver Of ma
tional bank In this country to fore
close no mortgages during the roxt

state authorities to take similar ac-
ton. And the example should spread
to every holder OF mortgage in this
country.
To take advantage Of deep neces-
sity by foreclosing mortgages at this
moment, when most debtors need
only a little more time to make good
their pledges, is needlessly cruel.

SENTIMENTAL BIRTHDAY

SENTIMENTAL BIRTHDAY
New York, Aug. 31.-Broadway is
readying one of its most sentimental
birthday parties.
On Sept. Is, so years will have
passed since mike and Meyer" first
tossed their hilariously scrambled
English at each other in a Bowery
music hall.
And oldsters from the East Side
will perch on dais at the Aston;
veterans of the burlesque world, Of
the music show world, Hollywooders
and radio dignitaries. For Joe Weber
and Lew Fields have belonged to the
whole entertainment world since that
far-away day when, two ragged ur-
chins of the Ghetto, they SWITCHED a
pair of long pants from Joe's father
and went forth on the long, hard
struggle to fame.
They were teammates from early
boyhood - lads of nine, applying
lampblack to their faces and show
ing up for an amateur night at the
forgotten Turn Halle. Theirs is a
typical chapter from the story of a
glamorous, picturesque Manhattan.
Then Lew Fields was Lew Schan-
field, living just around the corner
from the dark basement dwelling of
the Webers.

fury did quarreling disrupt thu
friendship of the famous team. II
was one of those clashes of opinion
temperament and Judgment. It came
as the times were turning and new
order was coming into the theater.
Lew believed the entire scheme was
changing and that they should change
with it. Joe felt that old burlesque
methods would never die out. The
team split. Somehow neither could
go 1t alone.
The reconciliation was a touching
episode. Fields father died. Lew
went to the funeral. They had not
spoken to each other in many a
month. They rode together behind
the hearse. The cortege moved
through streets of their old East Side.
Everywhere memories jumped out to
haunt them. Finally they passed a
theater that had figured in their
struggling youth.
One looked at the other. Tears
were in the eyes of the long, rangy
Lew. Rotund little Joe was wiping
his eyes with his sleeve. They smiled
through their tears.
Were two FOOLS" said Lew.
Eyes, my old friend-a couple Of
D. FOOLS" echoed Joe.
And so they got together again to
stage comebacks in the films and
over the air.
MEMORIES
I'VE didn't know how to make up
the first time we went into the Ger
man dialect act" Joe recalled the
other day. There was house paint
er in our neighborhood by the name
of Harry Semon. He volunteered to
help us. That same Harry Semon
became half of the great theater firm
of Hurtig and Semon.
"Haw-haw, you should have seen
us dressed up in Fauntleroy suits, with
curls and everything. That was just
before we went on with our Mike and
Meyer act. We did the old paper
tearing act after a dance. I often
wonder If anyone remembers the old
paper-tearing number. Two other
kids who lived near us would do a
duet, Alice, Where Art Thou?' while
We tore out pictures of battleships
and statesmen.
And there was the time We lied
about our ages to the Gerry society.
We were ony IL. The society yanked
us off and said we were too young.
We both vowed we were over 16 and
got away with it. But when we
bought railroad tickets we swore we

But just as they reached the car
she stopped and looked earnestly up
at him. Don't take too seriously
what Pm going to say. And yet I
don't like it. When you and Tito
stood there face to face l had feel
ing almost of dread. For it came
over ME that you two were destined
enemies. That the two of you could
never share this border country until
one had conquered. And l want it
SO to be otherwise. Help me make
it otherwise. Promise me you will
avoid any quarrel. no matter how
difficult that will be"
Ted started. He remembered his
own instructive sense of deep, in
evitable antagonism against the man.
But he only said. Nonsense. Tito

But he wasn't angry"
Neither you nor l can say what

enemy of him, and I think Adela
was troubled with that same thought.

Richard Dix, star of "Cimarron," "Secret Service" and other recent romantic films, has an entirely new kind of role in Roar of the DraGon, the dramatic story of turbulent Manchuria, at Warmers State to-day and tomorrow.
 Tn contrast to the rollicking, light hearted Character he usually portrays, Dix is seen as q cynical, disillusioned skipper of the Chi-
 nese river service. with little faith in men and none; at all in women.
 His boaet disabled by Chinese bandits, Dix and his varied group of passengers take refuge in a small interior village where they convert a former Mandarin's pal ace Into a stockade.

 South, the dealer, passed. Hold ing the required two and one-half tricks and a biddable six-card suit and a biddabie five card suit, the six-card suit should be bid first. therefore West bid one club.
 North overcalled with one spade. East passed and South. holding seven hearts and singleton spade. showed the heart suit by bidding two hearts. West was then given the opportunity to show his second suit with a bid of three diamonds. Several tables, with North holding, bid four hearts. This Is
 bidding little too boldly since partner has passed and West has made an original bid and showed a second suit. The safer declaration for North is to bid three hearts. East passed and now the decision
 was put up to South,
 North had shown that his side strength for spades was hearts, due to the fact that he supported South's heart bid, A club and a diamond bid lie right over South. South realized that the king of clubs will be worthless and un- doubtedly he would have to lose
