Woman Seen As x. R.S" Choice
 For A Post In National Cdbinet

New York.-If persistent pre- election campaign rumorg have meaning, 1t is woman-Frances Perkins-who long has been Gov ernor Franklin D. Roosevelts choice for secretary of labor. No woman yet has held a presidential cabinet post in this country.
 Miss Perkins is now New York state commissioner of labor, the first and only woman to hold Q state cabinet job in the country. She was appointed to 1t by Cover nor Roosevelt in 1929.
 She has been identified with in- dustrial welfare work since 1910, when she took her first public po- sition-secretary of the Consumers league-and has held innumerable Important positions in the indus trial welfare field.
 She's Not the Driving Type
 Miss Perkins Is 50, a quiet, pleas ant calm woman rather slight in build, with arresting brown eyes, a lovely rich voice and wavy black hair that is frightened now by a few silver strands. She has Q soft, motherly quality about her that many driving, successful women 1tdCk. SoHG eplLOLf1iEcS tHc VtA phrase, "a womanly woman"
 At work in her offices she can keep couple of secretaries busy, answer two phones and jot down g few memos simultaneously, so clear-headed and efficient is she. It is only when she appears before board of manufacturers or pleads for some safety or welfare meas ure for workers that she becomes a veritable firebrand of convincing oratory, a whirlwind of facts, fig- ures and excellent arguments.
 She is intensely human in her work. The 1900 workers under her are real individual persons to Miss Perkins, not just cogs.
 Docs Her Hats Up Brown
 She invariably dresses in dark, inconspicuous clothes, and always wears little brown hat that is |anything but the last word in style. When one wears out she has an- other made, without having to go to the shop and try 1t on.. So her headgear varies little in design from year to year. When she went to Albany on her present job, every one laughingly said: There's an- other brown hat in Albany these

When an opponent opens the bidding and your hand does not contain the strength required to make an informatory. double. but does contain biddahle suit, the vulnerable conditions regulate what your overcall may mean. To overcall an opponents Did with q suit bid when your side Is vulnerable. your hand should con tain 2 21-2 high card tricks, and. except when you can make an overcall with one bid, the suit must contain five cards; e. g. op- ponent bids one heart and you overcall with two diamonds. That shows at least two high card tricks and Q five-card dia- mond suit. However, if the oppo- nents opened with one heart and you could overcall with one bid, spade, this could be done with a four-card suit headed by at least A c. The side strength then re- quired would be one high card trick. and to be safe, the hand should also contain some scat tered honor cards.
 It is very dangerous to overcall when vulnerable, us the next player may double and you can easily go down 1000 points or more, which is more than you can normally expect to win In . rub Der.
 When your opponents are vul- nerable, and your side is not vul- nerable, you are immediately con- fronted with the problem of try ing either to. stop their game or to arrive at a good sacrifice bid Therefore you can make q sult overcall with any biddable suit and from 1-1 1-2 high card tricks.
 If neither side Is vulnerable, T biddable suit and from 1 1-2-2 high card tricks are required to make an overcall.
 These light overcalls are made, not vulnerable, either to put in q good lead directing bid, or to stop the opponents from arriving Ut the proper contract. However. to re.bid after making the overcall shows partner that you have

 When the right-hand opponents original declaration is no trump and your hand contains a good five-card suit with sufficient re- entries so that tho suit can be es- tablished, 1t is not advisable 10 make Q suit overcall.
 To overcall an opponents suit bid with a bid of one no trump has generally been taken to mean that you have the opponents suit stopped, and this should be true if your side is volunerable.
 However, many contract play
