NATIONS OUTLOOK

Banks Review of Politics
Finds Both Parties Are on
Conservative Side.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, November 2.-The Ma
tional City Bank of New York threw
the spotlight of its researches on poll
tics, in its monthly economic survey
yesterday, and found that there is mo
basis for prejudgment or anxiety"
The review observed that in cam
paign speeches. the history of the de-
preston and the record of each party
has been raked over in a manner
sometimes disturbing, but it added
this raking over tended to obscure the
important fact that both parties have
major issues"
What the country needs from both
parties is determination to preserve
sound principles in public finance" said
the review The central element in
such a program must be the balancing
of budgets through reduction of ex-
penditure.
Both Seek Economy.
What was seen as the most notable
aspect" of the present election cam
paign was "the Endorsement by both
candidates and party platforms Of prin-
ciples of economy and sound money
! The are alike in recognizing the i'm
portance of balancing the budget, and
there is no agitation Of the Honey
question among the leaders of chief in
f1uence within either party"
Common sense has prevailed through

has undergone. said the review, ano

only one proposal in any degree
threatening the soundness of the money
has made even slight headway. and
this. the bonus. passed but one house
of Congress and If it should some time
pass the other unquestionably would
receive the presidential veto"
The review said that "the evidence
Is convincing that the sentiment Of the
country is for economy. and for bal
ance between receipts and expenditures
that will keep the public credit above
reproach.
History Justifies Confidence.
1.-THE political history of the country
justifies the utmost confidence that any
Congress elected will contain ma
jority supporting these principles"
In its analysis of business conditions
the publication said there had been
furnished an impressive demonstration
a recuperative power" which justified
a hopeful attitude.
In July the long decline of business
was checked, in August there was q
substantial Cpturn, in September a
greater rise, and in the first part OF
october most of the common measures
of business activity for which figures
are available continued to advance
In part the business recovery has been
seasonal but in extent it has been more
than seasonal, and all the composite
indexes of business volume. which are
adjusted for the seasonal factor, have
turned up more sharply than at any
time since the long decline began"

NEW YORK, November 2.-Once
again a great rivalry of systems exists
in contract bridge, and it will be In
tensifled by changes In rules which
went into effect today.
Peace between the Culbertson and
official" systems, which had a pro-
longed test last Winter has been fol-
lowed by marked success in tournament
play of disciples of P. Hal Sims. Fol-
lowers of Ely Culbertson also have had
notable victories.
Culbertson Returns.
Culbertson, who announced his re-
tirement from championship play after
defeating Sidney S. Lenz last Winter
returned to the table for the Wander
bilt cup competition last week. His
team was eliminated In the semi finals
by team using Sims methods. Two
teams playing the Sims system reached
the final round. Mrs. Culbertson
entered team which was defeated by
Sims own combination in the round
before the semi-finals.
Before the tournament Sims expressed
Willingness to play Culbertson a specia
match. Culbertson did not accept, but
evidently the end is not yet.
Here are the fundamental difference.
in the systems:
Opening bids of one-Culbertson
stronger in third or fourth positions
Sims, stronger in first and second posi-
tionS.
Merely an Invitation.
One over one-Culbertson, a bid BY
partner of one Of higher valued sui
over the openers bid of one of suit
is merely an invitation to the opening
bidder to bid again, If possible Sims
such an overcall is force upon ths
opening bidder requiring him to rebid.
No trump-Culbertson, a suit is bic
at the start of the auction whenever
possible; Sims, preference is given tc
opening bids of no trump when q
hand contains 10 aces.
Hand Observation-Disclosures precise
values of all combinations of honors
with a minimum and probable require.
ment of two and one-half honor trick:
for opening the bidding; precise honor
trick counting for determining game anc
slam possibilities Sims, consideration
of the construction of the hand rather
than honors with differentiation be.
tween aggressive and defensive types o.
hands; valuation based on primary
tricks like the old auction 'quicl
tricks" the standard of primary trick.
for opening bids varying with the type
and position Of hand: consideration o.
losing tricks rather than honors anc
probable tricks.
C@rocoar vU;xh Sir,s
Opening two and three bids-Stronger
with Sims than Culbertson.
Pre-emptive opening bids-Culbert-
son. favorite opening when hand
contains one long strong suit; Sims
such bid forbidden.
Raising partners opening bid-Cul-
bertson, the maximum raise immediate
yif the suit bid by the opener best fits
the responding hand Sims, a raise Of
partners suit Immediately to game in
dicates slam possibilities; raise to one
less than game indicates willingness tc
play for game.
Slam bidding-Culbertson aces shown
only by inference from honor trick
count; Sims, after partners have agreed
on the trump, bidding Of other suits
shows aces.
Tomorrow-Sims will compare the two
systems.

SKUNK ROUTED
WITH HOSE

A skunk created havoc in the
400 block of Forty-eighth st.
N. W., after it suddenly appeared
on the porch of the home of
Francis j. Dorsey.
Fearing to arouse the ire Of
the cute little black and white
animal because he knew the dire
results that would follow, Dorsey
summoned police. On their ar.
rival, Policeman Frank Savage
and John w. Peters, also fearing
to go too close to the animal
which does such awful things to
people who do so, secured a hose
and standing at q safe distance,
deluged the animal with water.
The skunk, after taking a good
washing, tired of the water and
ambled slowly back to a nearby
woods.
