Artificial Heart

y Vienna physician, Doctor Eisen-
rnenger, has perfected a machine or
artificial heart" that pumps the
blood when the real healt stops. BY
use of this new apparatus persons
apparently dead have been brought
back to life. 1t keeps the blood cir
culating for a while although the
heart has stopped. The machine is
designed to apply alternate pressure
and Suction to that part of the chest
containing the heart, so that blood is
alternately sucked into that organ
and forced out again, Stimulating ap-
proximately the normal circulation
maintained by the heartbeat.

TODA4 a letter came to my desk that
IL deeply impressed me. 1t was written
by woman - the mother in a typical
American family. Her little home had
been saved from foreclosure by coat of
new paint, for which part of their meager
savings had been paid.
Those few gallons of fresh paint had so
revived the appearance and enhanced the
value of the property that the mortgage
had consented to renew the loan :. and
the little home was saved.
could not help thinking of the thousands
of homes and buildings that are shabby
and unattractive today due to several years
of neglected painting; of the millions of
home owners who, because of reduced
incomes and enforced economy, have been
obliged to sacrifice painting for taxes, in
terest, assessments, to say nothing of food,
clothing, heat and other essentials of COM
fort and health.
You have seen these paint-starved houses
and buildings, as have |. They are every
where about you. Perhaps your home is
included.
Do you understand what they signify? Do
you realiz. what will happen to wood or
metal that is literally naked of paint if these
houses and buildings face the attack of
another season of rain, snow, ice, and frost?
Never in the history of our country has
the situation been paralleled. Property
owners face an added burden of expense
amounting to millions of dollars for repairs
and rebLacemeNtS next spring.
And the crisis, in my opinion, will be
reached this coming SOinter when paint of four,
five, and even six years exposure to the
weather will be unable to resist the elements
when badly weathered wood and metal
will be easy prey for rot, rust and decay.
Today the big question facing thousands of
property owners is plain. 1t is ''paint or
pay. Either you must invest little this fall
in new paint or you must take the risk of

Bidding the Opponents Suit

II you are new TO the forcing sys-
tenn, you may receive a shock some
time when an opponent opens the
bid with one spade and your part
ner calmly overcalls with two
spades. Do not be alarmed at this
apparent slip of the tongue. What
your partner is telling is that he
has an exceptionally strong hand of
freakish distribution with control of
at least the first trick In the adverse
suit
This over-call in an opponents
suit is a forcing bid, the only abso-
lutte forcing bid which can be made
by a player whose side has not
open the bidding. At a low stage
Of the bidding 1t Is not a slam sig
nal, nor does 1t necessarily show, as
it would at higher stage, that the
bidder holds no losers In the ad-
verse suit. While II might indicate
that the bidder was void in the OPP
ponent's suit. 1t could be made by
player holding the adverse ace and
one or more small cards. For ex-
ample, say that South were to deal
and bid one heart when West held
S-AK6 3 H-A s D-KQJ 643 C-None
A take-out double would not show
the great strength Of Vests hand
nor absolutely assure him that his
partner will keep the bidding open
until a game is reached. But an
over-call of two hearts will accom-
plish this purpose.

paying many t1meS the cost OF paint 10
repair the damage done by rot, rust and
decay this winter.
Even at the sacrifice of other things, have
your house or buildings completely
repainted now. No investment you can
make will pay better dividends. And nothing
you can buy will make you and your family
feels uplifted and cheerful.
Hyou cannot arrange to do a complete repaint-
ing job now, at least give the badly 1yeatkered
places a coat or f0Oo ofbrofecfing paint.
Look especially, to the window sills, thresh.
olds, outdoor porches and steps; the joints
of porch ratings and palings; the bases of
pillars; the edges of caves; the roof; the
cutters and down spouts. These are the vifal
spots where water lodges-where ice and
frost settle-where rot and rust attack first.
Afew dollars worth of good paint, applied
now, will protect these vital spots-will tide
you over this crucial winter. And it will
probably save you much greater expense
for repairs and requirements next spring
and summer.
Under existing conditions, you may be
tempted to buy a cheap paint because of
its low price. | hope you will not make
this costly mistake.
Even on sound lumber, inferior paint is
poor bargain. But on weathered wood,
which is very porous, such paint is worse
than useless. 1t gives you false feeling of
security and leaves you without protection.
Prices of well-known, established brands
of paint are now the lowest in fifteen years.
Enough good, dependable paint can be
purchasedfo for a few dollars to protect all the
badly weathered surfaces on your building.
Again repeat, do complete job this fall
if you can. But at least do the vital exposed

Take-Out Doubles


A double Of one no trump or Of
suit bid of one or two is a take-out
or informatory double II 1t Is not
made at the first opportunity to
double and before the doubler's
partner has made a declaration Ga
pass Is not a declaration).
Minimum requirements for
take-out double are:
Three honor-tricks divided in
three suits or
Three honor-tricks divided In two
suits with a fair biddable suit.
The forcing system makes no dis
tinction between values for take-out
doubles OF suits and no trump bids.
except to advise that in the latter
doubles the 8 honor-tricks required
should be slightly reinforced.
A sharp warning is sounded, how.
ever, against making take-out dou-
BILE when vulnerable unless your 3
honor-tricks are backed up either by
strong intermediates and plus values
or by a quite powerful escape suit"
theoretically, a takeout double
of an opponents bid announces a
hand OF general strength, somewhat
on the order of no trump, with no
adequate biddable suit. But take-out
doubles are often advisable even
though you have suit, and quite a
strong one. Such strategic doubles
occur when you are in the defensive
position, and hold 3 or more honor
tricks, but have not a sufficiently
dominating suit or the two-suiter
type, required for a jump over-call.
Responding to a Take-Out
Double
While a take-out double is not,
strictly speaking, forcing bid, when
your partner makes such a double
you are practically obligated to take
him out by bidding your best suit
no matter how poor 1t may be. The
only contingency by which you are
relieved of this responsibility is all
Intervening bid from the opponent
at your right II, after a take-out
double from your partner, this oppo-
nent raises his partners declaration
or makes some other bid, you are no
longer obliged to bid. Any declara-
tion which you make in such q case
shows strength.
Unless, however, an opponent bids
after your partners take-out double,
you should bid no matter how weak
your hand. When you are forced to
respond to the take-out double with
abject weakness, 1t is usually best
to discourage your partner from car
rying on by naming minor suit,
preferably the club suit.
Occasionally when your partner
makes a take-out double you may
have reason to encourage him with
a strength response. In view of the
fact that your partners take-out
double promises a minimum of g
honor-tricks with, If vulnerable,
some additional value, you should al
ways, if possible, make a strength
respond when holding as many as
. honor-tricks.
There is only one type OF hand
with which it is permissible to
leave your partner in take-out
double. This is a hand of sufficient
defensive strength to insure setting
the opposing bid.

Young America
At Fox Imperial

The worst boy in town." and ev-
cry town has one such, is the basis
of Young America, an intensely
appealing human interest" picture
to be shown tonight only at Fox
Imperial theatre.
The worst boy, as quite often
happens, is not bad at all but fol-
lows the dictates of his heart which
lead him into continual conflict
with the authorities. MiSunder-
stood and disowned, he finally
proves that the title given him is
the wrong one and he earns a bet
ter one.
Young America" is not a gin and
jazz film, it does not glorify wrong
doing, but it does show how the
good intentions of boys can often
be misunderstood and succeed in
placing them in the wrong light.
Spencer Tracy, Doris Kenyon,
Beryl Mercer, Ralph Bellamy, Spec
ODonnell, Raymond Borzage and
others are seen in support of Tom
my Conlon, who has the role of
the bad boy.
Juvenile law authorities and ed
ucators have given Young Amer

means for understanding what is
often termed juvenile delinquency

George II. ROLAND. her husband,
and Alexander ROLAND, brother
n-laW as defendants. came to n
final end IN superior court yester-
day afternoon when attorneys
filed orders OF dismissal for Mrs.
Rolland's complaint and for the
cross-complaint of the brothers.
Both the complaint ana cross
complaint were dismissed with
prejudice, meaning similar actions
cannot be filed again. The dismis-
sails were entered in accordance
with a judgment recently made by
Judge Vaughn n. Thompson. and
on a stipulation that all title. right
and interest to four lots at Braw-
ley is vested in Alexander ROLAND.
BY this Judgment the brothers
were to pay $3.50 in outstanding
checks written by Mrs. ROLAND
against the BraWley Drug COM
pany owned by Alexander ROLAND;
S240 house rent for Mrs ROLAND.

ROLAND was TO provide for the
support of a minor child, which is
IN the custody of Mrs. ROLAND.
1t also was provided by the judy
ment that all other actions BY Mrs.
ROLAND against George and Alex
ander ROLAND. in Los Angeles an0
Imperial county. were to be dis
missed. A count yesterday after
noon showed SIX other suits filed
by Mrs. ROLAND in connection with
the property at Brawley. and ner
request for separate maintenance.
Mrs ROLAND originally charged
that the Brawley property. includ-
ing a drug store. belonged to her,
and that she had been induced to
sign it over to George ROLAND by
fraudulent means. Her husband
then vested title in his brother. she
charged, so that she could get
nothing from the property.

Mexican BraWls
Provide Plenty
OF Excitement

County law enforcement officers
last night found their hands full
with three Mexican brawls at var
ious parts of Imperial Valley at
the same time, none of which re-
suited in criminal charges, or ar
rest of any of the participants.
The first was on the American
Fruit Growers ranch eight miles
north of Brawley. Intoxicating
liquor played a large part in this
brawl, as w. S. Heating and Tom
Adams, deputy sheriffs, discovered.
One Mexican had tried to stab an
other, and had promptly been
struck over the head with a beer
bottle, being rendered unconscious,
the officers said.
The unconscious Mexican was
taken to the Brawley hospital,
treated and released, much more
sober, and the fight was ended.
Sheriff George l.. Campbell and
George Evans were called to quell
a miniature riot on the Aoyama
company ranch west of Brawley.
The battle was something of the
same nature as the first, but not
so violent.
Don Campbell and Elmer Waters
at about the same time were dis
patched TO the Bribenbaugh ranch
west of Heber, where six Mexicans
had ganged on two Greeks, who
succeeded in leaving the scene rap
idly and without any casualties.
The Greeks promised TO swear to
complaint against the Mexicans.
