LODGE LOTTERY
ACTION HERE is
HELD UNLIKELY
Jeffrey Says He Has No
Orders to Prosecute
FraternaI Groups.

Statement today of George r.
Jeffrey, United States district at
torney, indicated there will be no
action locally as a result of alleged
lotteries in which the Shriners,
Loyal Order of Moose and Fra
ternal Orders of Eagles participat-
ed, resulting Thursday in indict-
ment of some national leaders of
the Moose and Eagles.
Jeffrey said as yet he has not re-
ceived any instructions to proceed
locally in the cases.
Drawings in the Shrine affair
were to have been held, according
to reports, during the national con-
vention at San Francisco early this
summer. This was halted after
high officials of the order in New
York had been warned that the
project was risky.
In addition to chances on money
and merchandise, it is understood
the Shriner tickets bore stubs which
admitted holders to a dance here,
apparently a plan which was car
ried out by other temples partici-
pating.
Profits from the venture were do
mated to charity, it is understood.
Local ticket buyers said they had
received no return of money, al
though it was reported refunds
would be given.
Another development today was a
statement by Henry L. Stevens Jr.,
national commander of the Ameri-
can Legion, that it is not sponsoring
a proposed international bridge
tournament as a means of raising
funds to pay indebtedness against
PerShing hall, Paris, France, a re-
puted million dollar structure which
is a memorial to General John j.
PerShing.
Although the building in itself
is a most worthwhile monument"
Stevens stated, "the international
bridge tournament is being run
not by the legion, but by the Off
Gals of PerShing hall in the hope
they may realize sufficient revenue
to pay off the present deficit

Contract Bridge

mediately would set the diamonds
upon which to discard his losing
hearts.
East's problem was to kill the
dummy before the diamonds could
be set, so he boldly returned club
right into dummy's -queen-ten.
Dummy won the trick with the ten.
The king of diamonds was re-
turned from dummy, East winning
with the ace and never heSitated,
but Immediately returned another
club into dummy's ace queen.
Declarer won the trick in dummy
with the queen of clubs. The queen
of diamonds in dummy was cashed,
and now you can see that East has
the diamond suit stopped and can
kill the dummy on the next lead.
1t looks as if all that the declarer
can do is to lead his ace of clubs
from dummy and discard one of his
losing hearts.
Now 1 have shown you how to de-
feat the contract of four spades. Can
you see any way of still making
the contract even with this marvel
Gus defense?
Here is how it can be done
lead the ten of diamonds from
dummy, East will cover with the
jack and now don't trump with the
three of spades, but with the, ten
spot and lead the three of spades,
diScarding heart from dummy.
East will be thrown in the lead
with his nine of spades and now
must lead a club to dulnmy's ace,
and the declarer can discard his
three losing hearts on dummy's three
good diamonds.
This last play might be classed
as double dummy play, but it pre-
sents an interesting angle to this
unusual hand.

BATTLE FLAG BORN
OF PRESSING NEED

The best-known standard of the
Confederacy, the famous battle flag,
was unofficial in its origin. 1t was
created by the army itself as re-
suit Of an incident which demonstrate
ed clearly the need for distinctive
emblem. writes Anne McCorkle in
the Baltimore Sun.
At Manassas on July p, 1861, Gen
eral Beauregard's forces were in pc.
sition opposite the federals. 1t was
a hot, dry day and cloud of dust
attended every movement. a new
body of troops was seen moving to-
ward the right of the bluecoats. The
Confederate generals eyes, strained
in their direction to discover wheth-
er they were friend or foe, were
thwarted by the smoke and dust and
the breathless air. which left their
flags limp and indistinguishable. The
necessity of opening fire became
more pressing with each moment if
they were enemy troops. AS uncer-
tainty reached it's most critical point,
a sudden puff spread the colors to
the breeze, revealing to the thankful
Confederates the Star and Bars.
Following the incident Beauregard
discussed with Gen. Joseph Johnston
and other officers his determination
that the troops should be led by "a
banner so distinct that no doubt
ever shall endanger the cause again
on the battlefield" Designs were dis
cussed, and several were submit
ted. AT Fairfax courthouse in Sep
TENDER, 1861, the Southern Cross, or
battle flag. was unanimously chosen
and Endorsed by the officers gathered
there. Correctly made, this flag is
absolutely square, red field upon
which is imposed blue cross bear
ing II white stars.
