REPUBLICANS FEAR DRYS.

President Hoovers latest special message to Con- gress urges that body to strengthen Prohibition laws in the District of Columbia in order to make the nations capital a model for all other cities and towns in the country Washington is dripping wet. Last year three times as many speakeasies were raded as the same city had licensed saloons in the days of Pre- Prohibition. Yet it is no wetter than any other cities of comparable size and not wet a number of them. If under the Vostead Act and the Jones five and ten law, the Department of Jus tice cannot curb bootlegging right at it's front door can anything short of mobizing the Marines do 1t?
 Senator Borah announces publicly that the Pro- at Chicago next June will be pledge of continued enforcement
 Leaders of the Republican Party are working on plank that will endorse a change in the Eighteenth Amendment if and when a majority of the States petition Congress for such modification. The New York Herald Tribune one of the leading Republican newspapers of the nation, calls this a policy of devious stupidity" Such a plank would necesstae enough State Legislatures passing reso- lutons calling for change opposed tc the Demo- cratic Partys suggestion for plank advocating a popular referendum, provided in Article of the Constitution, which would demand that Con- authorize State conventions which delegates would consider that question and no other There can be question that the Anu-Saloon League could prevent indefinitely action by enough State vocates action through that channel would be more subterfuge
 This is some of the evidence that tends to prove that the domination Of the Drys still holds firm over the Republican leadership It is a strong indi- cation that those who will meet in Chicago shortly to draft wet plank for the Republican platform are already defeated.

 las in our bodies-though pr. Stockard did not fai to see it. In his book, "The Physical Basis of Per sonality,' closely reasoned examination of genera animal characteristics, he summarizes the idea o constitutional predispositon in a paragraph which ends as follows
 The susceptible and less fit individuals that formerly died of the one-time prevalent
 infectious diseases now in the absence of such diseases killed by automobiles and other modern devices. The less well adjusted persons are unable to negotiate the traffic and run miscalcuated chances are willing to risk their lives with reckless and incapable drivers Their constitutional defeats handi- cap their behavior.
 From this he concludes that
 The onslaught of environment has some what changed it's base of action toward the higher nervous centers.
 This, simply paraphrased amounts to saying that the weak head as well the weak heart is the symbol of our undoing.

most of her time trying to get out of practicing piano lessons.
 Louise at dinner one day startles the Heller family with the can nouncement that 9 young man will call on her later He is her first suitor. She asks that the parlor be given over to her for his enter tainment.
 Grant, the suitors calls. After en- barrassing introducs5ions to members of the Heller family, he and Louise are left alone in the parlor. They are in love with each other Dur ing his call, they become engaged
 Pretence To Luxury
 Louise's mother enters upon the scene. Pretending that the Heller family is accustomed to luxurious ways, Mrs. Heller intimates to Grant that her daughter could not marry unless her husband receives a salary in excess of $lo0 a week. Tne mother tells the neighbors, however, what wonderful man Louises's suitorl is and reports that he is a wealthy banker. In reality, his salary is $40 a week.
 ! Learning of all this propagan- d." spread by Mrs. Heller, Grant wonders what sort of family he is trying to marry into, and there is an unhappy half hour during which the engagement seems on the verge of rupture.
 At this juncture, Grants mo- ther appears on the scene. She, like Mrs. Heller, indulges in pre- tentions of wealth. The two moth CTS soon realize that each of them is bluffing about financial expecta- tions. Finally they become them selves. Everything ends happily for Louise and Grant and for ev- else.

NUGGET BRIDGE PROBLEM NO. il REPEATED WITH
 SOLUTION

Because of printers error thai gave East fourteen cards, we are repeating this problem with proper number of cards.
 East Holds
 Spadss-A, K, @. 10, 5, 4.
 Hearts-A, K, J, 10, T, 6, 3.
 Diamonds-None.
 ClubS-None.
 The Bidding
 South-One Diamond.
 West-Pass.
 North-Six Diamonds.
 East-Question?
 What should East bid and why?
 Solution: East should bid seven diamonds.
 This problem which we ran a few days ago, brought no winning solu- tion, and shows that although there are lot of Culbertson Blue Books in town, they are accommodating dust on the shelf. On page PA under the heading "Overcalling with suit bid by opponents" this highly i'm formative bid is clearly explained. It is straight demand on West to bid seven in his strongest suit and Clubs are barred by their value. Even if the bids were lower the principle would still hold good, as East could force West to name major suit by denial of Clubs.
 The problem illustrates one of the phases of the Forcing System" and, while it gives an uneasy feel ing to old timers who tho ght that any changes in Bridge would only mess it up, the average player will find after few trials that the new bidding and forcing rules have add ed fine fresh spice to game that was getting rather humdrum. But don't throw all the burden Of teaching you on your friends.
 One or two dollars for the proper books will raise most of the fog and then little playing will clear the rest.

BABY BONDS.

Baby Bonds the special Treasury certificates issued by the Government in it's effort lure from hiding some Sl 30OOo00Oo that is estimated to have been withdrawn from banks by depositors through out the nation and put into hoarding, placed sale this week. An announcement issued by the Treasury Department said:
 The certificates will be available to pur-
 chGsers through the banks. The banks. in
 turn, can, if they desire. obtain the cert-
 fcates through the so-called War Loan
 Deposit Account" with the Federal Reserve
 Banks. Under the well-regulated War Loan
 deposit system banks may subscribe for
 Government obligations and pay for them by
 of a deposit to the credit of the
 Federal Reserve Banks fiscal agents of
 the United States Inasmuch payment by
 of this method is in the form of
 credit, should funds for the purchase of
 certificates be withdrawn by depostors of
 the subscribing bank they will be auto
 maticafy replaced by Government deposit
 which will remain with the bank until called
 for by the Treasury
 Should the certificates be purchased with
 currency held outside of banks, the banks
 receiving the subscriptions will gain the
 cash deposited by the subscriber. while they
 may pay for the certificates delivered to the
 subscriber by means of a deposit credit for
 the account of the Government.
 Gen. Charles G. Dawes, President of the Recon structon Finance Corporation. stated the case sue einctly in radio address Sunday evening when he declared the sale of the bonds to individuals who paid for them with bank checks would not help the situation Money deposited in banks is already in circulation and is doing the work it is designed for. It is the money in safe deposit boxes, tin cans, old socks and other hiding places that is niging It is to individuals resorting to that pro- cedue that the Baby Bond issue is presented Certificates purchased by them automatically puts the money used back into normal channels of commerce and finance, loesens credit eases the banking structure and stimulates industry and em- ployment to some degree Investment in them is as safe as the Government of the United States. Those who invest in them, therefore assured of pro- lection and at the same time performing a service of patriotism to their country.

Pilots Pay.
tNew York d-Telegram.)

Twenty pilots flying passenger planes on regular schedules for Century Airnes between St. Louis, Chicago Detroit and Cleveland have been dis charged after threatening to strike because of drastic pay cut. Century has suspended until new pilots be obtained
 The pilots claim it is 40 per cent cut. If it is, Century pilots in the future will make only about $2500 year.
 The human element-the pilot-is still the most vital and important link in aviation. So long as that situation exists the pilot should be worth more than S2,500
 It takes him years to acquire the skill experience and Judgment necessary to fly on the airlines
 Twenty-one pilots have sacrificed themselves for the continuance of decent wage in aviation. Every pilot on the airlines of this country will benefit if the fight is won, and suffer if it is lost

FEW BARTENDERS
AT RENO TAKE

Surprising Number Are
Found to Be
AbStemiOus
BY GEORGE ID. CRISSEY
United Press STAFF Correspondent

tOuItcu TECSS St6A OOEECSPOhuChtl
Reno, Nev.-(UP)-The men
who man bars in Reno's many
cling rigidly to the old
time saloon theory that the man
on the other side Of the bar should
do most of the drinking.
In fact, a surprising number of
the bartenders and proprietors of
liquor establishments do not drink
at all. That. they say, is no hand
leap to the reparation of zestful
libations. Some claim that liquor
is best judged, anyway, by rubbing
a fe.y drops between the palms and
shifting as it evaporates.
Moderate Drinkers
Generally, the bartenders may be
classified as moderate drinkers.
The man who gets drunk on the
job doesn't last long. particularly
in the higher class places frequent
ed by members of the local divorce
colony.
The moderate drinker, according
to saloon men, Is the best barten-
der because during the course OF
an eight-hour shift-as Is custom
airy here-a good many extra SO
cent pieces will be taken in as a
result of parties getting generous
and buying the bartender drinks
The bartender buys back, OF
course, but that is a regular prac-
.tice here regardless of whether the
bartender Is a drinker.
Unusual Devices
A few Of the non-drinkers en-
ploy unusual devices to get the
money for personal drinks without
doing any drinking. One man, for
example, has a wine bottle filled
with sweet apple cider back of the
bar. He happens to be a floor
worker who hasn't touched a drop
for years. When a party invites
