now are acting as dramatic critics,
while many other dramatic critics
only attend a part of the play and
then criticise the production as if
they had sat through its entire per-
Torrance.
For the purpose of remedying this
frightful and deplorable situation
of the spoken drama, which con-
gress would like to preserve, the
committee on patents and copy
rights has requested me to respect
fully invite you as one of the dra-
matte critics of our country to
kindly be present in the house office
building caucus room on Monday.
March IA, 1882, to give us the bene-
fit of your advice and suggestions
concerning this subject"
n
One Evil Among Many
JUDGING from the sentence struc-
y ture employed in the missive, I
assume that DR.. Sirovich is among
those who hope to grow from in
finitive splitter to President. The
situation which he outlines may be
deplorable if true, and yet it seems
a little thing compared to many of
the other injustices which parade
the land.
For instance, when Kentucky
walks out of the Union in suppress
ing free speech and free assembly,
that seems to me rather more i'm
portant than the problem of
whether Bob Garland and Percy
Hammond wait to hear the last note
of every musical show. And yet
there has been no congressional in
vestigation of that ''frightful situa-
ton"
If I decide to reject the invita-
ton Of DR.. Sirovich, it will imply
no lack Of merit in his communica-
ton, but merely a puzzlement upon
my part as to precisely what the
committee on patents has to do
with the fate of the American
drama.
But I may not refuse. Once upon
time I tried hard to get to con-
gress. Perhaps a congressional in
vestigation is the next best thing.
In fact, if an adequate cast can be
assembled, it may be even better.

GENERALLY I have not been in

| ~ ENERALLY I have not been in
" sympathy with criticisms of
congress. The house of representa-
tives may indulge in silly seasons,
but, after all, it is the only con-
gress we have.
Quite often I have heard business
men blurt out a belief in a mora
forum on legislation. They would
like to have a two years adjourn
men, with the President left in sole
charge of the nations affairs. Bug
this represents complete surre1%
Ger to the theory of Strong-man
rule. I'm not for that under any
of the labels which it wears.
Napoleon never has been one of
my heroes, and I think his imi-
tators are perhaps a shade less de-
Sirable. The only thing worse than
the rule of the strong man is that
of the weak one trying to play the
part.
The general philosophy of an adj
ministration tempered by checks
and balances appeals to me. But
I must admit a belief in limiting
the veto power to one branch of
the government.
The executive veto of the Presi-
dent I would defend, but not when
it is associated also with the jul
dicial veto exercised by the supreme
court. In other words, feel that
there ought to be a check upon
checks and balances.

Metal Corrosion Loss to Ma
ton az Year Estimated at
Billion Dollars.
BY DAVID DIETZ-

TORROSION of metals costs the
~ United States $l,OOO,OOO,0 900
year, according to DR.. Gustav Egloff
of the Universal Oil Products Co. of
Chicago.
DR.. Egloff is scheduled to discuss
the subject of corrosion at the
eighty-third convention of the
American Chemical Society, TO be
held in New Orleans from March
Is to April 1.
The United States, according to
DR.. Egloff has the unenviable posi-
ton of leading in corroSion waste.
Almost one-haf of the corrosion
waste IN the whole world occurs in
this country, according to him.
He says that it represents more
than l per cent of the nations an
nual business.
The corroSion bill of the petro-
leum industry for last year is esti-
mated by DR.. Egloff at $125,000 900.
This, he says, constitutes a levy Of
l cent for every gallon of gasoline
consumed in the United States. ,

Questions and
Answers


What was the purpose of an issue
of Netherlands postage stamp in
1929 with the inscription ''Voop Het
Kind" flor the child and a picture
of child riding a dolphin?
In addition to the regular postage
these stamps carried various sur
taxes in proportion to their face
values, which were applied for the
benefit of the Child Welfare
Societies of Holland.
Does it injure the plant to paint
the flower pot?
The Bureau of Plant Industry
says that painting flower pots has
a detrimental effect on plants. The
implanted pots are porous and per-
NIT evaporation, and transfer of
water, whereas painted pots defeat
this purpose.
How many stars are there?
The total number of stars in the
entire sky visible to the average
unaided eye is between 5000 and
5000; the number visible through
powerful telescopes exceeds 10O,-
100000; the total number that can
be photographed with the 1OO-inch
telescope is probably well over a
thousand million; it is estimated
mathematically that the grand
total is thirty or forty thousand
million stars, most of which are, of
course, beyond the reach of present
telescopes.
What is the official world auto

economic and political crisis, faith
in America is not heightened by
antic display in the federal capital.

AUTO MAKERS
CONVINCED OF
BUYING TREND
Last Minute Details Rushed
on Models to Dazzle
Public in 1888.
BY JOHN OWEN
United Press STAFF Correspondent

DETROIT, Nov. 17.-Automobile
manufacturers, convinced there are
buyers for their products, are rush
ing last-minute details on the cars
they hope will dazzle the American
public in 1888
Detroit, lean from depression
years, huns with more enthusiasm
than in many months.
Test models with dummy radia-
tors dash along outlying roads,
clicked by scouts of opposition COM
panies.
Intriguing new models are shown
! secretly, and to a favored few, be-
hind locked doors.
Factory gates are crowded again,
as some of the pobless are called
back to work.
ChrysIer Announcement
Walter P. Chrysler was the first
to announce plans for the new year
His corporation is producing new
Plymouth six models, while Dodge
Brothers, subsidiary, is re-employ-
ing 10000 men to work part time
on a new Dodge six-cylinder line.
A new De Soto will be announced
in December.
General Motors, meanwhile, will
| introduce new Chevrolet which,
according to reports, will feature a
longer wheelbase and radical
changes in body design.
Thousands of workers have been
recalled at the Chevrolet plants to
produce $4,000 units for distribution
to dealers by Jan. /. The company
has promised a price range in keep
ing with reduced incomes.
Ford Man of Mystery
Henry Ford is, as usual, the man
of mystery in the industry. It is
quite probable, however, that he
will not make changes for the new
year presentations. His present
Weights and fours have been on
the market only five months.
Austin Motor Car Company prob
ably will be the only manufacturer
to present four-cylinder car. Re-
newed activity is reported at the
Austin plants, Butler, Pa.
WHY'S Overland, Hudson Essex
and Continental automobile com
panies probably will introduce six
cylinder cars featuring radical
changes in body design Price re-
auctions slightly under the pres
ent range are considered by all three
companies.
Pontiac is building a new straight
eight in the medium priced field;
Franklin is producing a new line tc
be called 1.-THE Olympic" and Nash
is manufacturing new Streamlined
model
Paige engineers, like the
Ford master mechanics, are reported
concentrating on present models
Streamlining on the Graham
Paige already is well developed.
High-priced car manufacturers
are making few changes.

counting undoubted overtricks at
the regular bid trick values.
The overtrick premium remains
the same for doubled and redoubled
contracts, which is as follows:
Doubled and Not Vulnerable
Overtrick premium is 100 points a
trick.
Doubled and Over
trick premium is 200 points trick.
Both these points are doubled in
case of redoubled contract.
The writer is little afraid that
these changes-and particularly the
no trump change-will prove a lit
tie confusing to the contract player.
However, a few moments study
of the law will clear up the stu
alton, and in my next article I will
explain thoroughly to you the work
ing of this change in scoring.

BY w. f. MKENNEY

Secretary American Bridge League
TINE first important change that
a we find in the laws is law No.
"a, Ispecting Quilted Tricks, which
is as follows:
after a trick has been turned
and quilted, the cards in it may be
counted face down, but It may not
be again turned and inspected be-
fore the end of the hand unless
ca There is a difference of opin-
ion as to which hand won it;
(b) 1t is found to contain an in
correct number of cards;
(c) It is necessary to turn it to
substitute a corrected card; or:
I'D A player who fears that he
has revoked in it obtains permission
to examine it before he or his part
ner has led or played to the next
trick. An opponent may refuse
such permission, but in that case
his side can not claim the penalty
for an established revoke in that
trick"
The penalty for the above laws
is handled in law No. 53-Look-
ing at Quilted Trick-which is as
follows:
IF a player turns and inspects
quilted trick when not authorized
by these laws so to do, deciarer or
the opponent on his left, as the
case may be, may select the suit
from which the offending side is to
lead when first it is the turn of
that side to lead"
This particular law undoubtedly
will work a hardship on a great
many players who were in the habit
of inspecting the last quilted trick,
which right was granted Under the
old laws.
The game now demands closer
attention. A player carefully must
it is played.
The next major change is law
No. 30-Trick Points. Here we find
the old trick count for no trump
has been changed, minor and major
suits remaining unchanged namely,
spades and hearts so, clubs and dia-
mondS 20.
Odd tricks at no trump now count
30 points each for the first, third,
fifth and seventh trick, and &C
points each for the second, fourth
and sixth trick.
Law No. 31-Overtrick Points
Now conforms to the practice used
in duplicate tournaments; that is,

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
Meteors Again Fail to
Stage Sky Spectacle
Few LeOnidS Are Seen by
Astronomer; Jupiter Is
Blamed.

En- Science Service
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 17-FearS
of astronomers that the expected
display of Leonids again might fail
to appear, as it did in 1899, have
been justified.
Observing from the Flower OBJ
servatory of the University of Penn
sylvania, of which he is director, DIR
Charles P. Olivier, president of the
meteor commission of the Interna-
tional Astronomical Union, observed
these shooting stars at the rate of
thirteen an hour during the early
morning hours of Wednesday
Nov. Is.
Correcting for the proximity of
the bright moon, this would mean
that about thirty might have been
seen every hour after midnight had
the sky been dark. This is far in
terror to the display of last year.
It seems probable that the dam
age done to the meteor swarm by
Jupiter before 1899. in pulling aside
the center part so much that it
missed the earth, though the begin
ming and end reached us in 1893
and 1901, has not been repaired yet
1t had been thought that Jupiter
since might have pulled the swarm
into line again.
