FRANCE ISSUES
 TOURIST DON'TS
DeCalOgue Compiled By French Officials Giving
 Advice


 Paris, (UP)-A decalogue for tourists, consisting of 10 Donts, has been compiled by the French Tour ist Authorities here giving the fol- lowing advice:
 Don't forget that every country has bad characters, bad manners and bad customs; and that you cannot judge a whole race by the few.
 Don't criticize until you under stand and know all the factss One has no right to be critic in an- other mans home. Don't grumble because in cer- tain cases prices are higher here than in America; there may be and generally is, a rational ex- plantation for such instances.
 Don't hesitate to speak the French language because you speak it badly. Nobody will laugh at you.
 Don't spend all your time in American restaurants, American movies, American institutions. After all, in coming to France, your prime duty is to get &C., quainted with France.
 Don't do what is not done in the country. Find out what's what and then conform.
 Don't forget that there is probably no race in the world more susceptible to politeness and kindness than the French, and more willing to repay it.
 Don't get separated from your passport, or other important papers, and above all don't put your Identification papers in your trunks; they may get lost and cause much inconvenience. And don't be niggardly or overgenerous with tips. Find out the custom and comply with it."

Written for the United Press)
 Chicago-(UP)-The repeal of the 18th amendment may look like the end of the road to many, but to the w. C. T. U. it simply is an episode in the war against mans greatest and oldest enemy-Intoxi- eating Drink.
 Prohibition never was an end in itself; but rather a method of deal irg with the liquor traffic. The na- ton had tried every other known method; all failed. We believed prohibition to be the best method; if we can not have prohibition we will try to reduce the evils of li- ouor to a minimum by some other method.
 We will start all over again in a new and improved campaign of ed- ucation. It will be scientific and, l believe, adequate.
 But education in alcohol, and its effect, must keep step with prog ress. A hundred years ago we could talk about "horrible exam ples" and show startling charts indicating the effect of liquor on the human stomach: but educa- tional methods have changed and progressed. Today we should show what sobriety does for life; for happiness, accuracy, scholarship, athletics. etc.
 America must adopt total ab- stinence goal: if it adopts a moder- ate drinking goal the people are lost. All drunkards gto their start in moderate drinking.
 Against public school temper ance education will be launched

CANADAEYES
 LOVE FEAST w at C hing ROOseyelt's Move of the Soviet
 Republic

Ottawa, Ont. (UP)-Canada is watching the situation which is de- veloping out of the move of Presi- dent Roosevelt towards recogni- tion of the Soviet republic
 Officially. ministerial and de- partmental comment upon the rapprochement, Is being withheld pending results. Actually, however, the expectation is that the road towards full recognition between the two countries will be lengthy with many turnings. This view is based on the insistence of the United States upon coupling the question lfof Czarist and Soviet debts with recognition. It is re- called here that Britain pursued similar course some years ago. upon which the Soviets conjured up a counter claim for damages done by British troops during the revolutionary period, which placed Britain heavily in Soiet debt American troops were in Siberia in strength during the revolution ary period and 1t is anticipated here that American debt claims will meet substantial counter claims and that a lengthy argu- ment will be opened.
 Canada accorded diplomatic rec- ognition to Russia in 1921.

BLAMES APPEAL
 OF SCHOOL LIFE
Too Many Students of Pick and Shovel Calibre
 in College

Philadelphia - (UP) = Dr Charles W. Burr, psychiatrist at the University of Pennsylvania. favors a "back to the factory movement for most college stu dents.
 Every man and woman wants his or her child to go to college" Dr Burr said. That's the funda- mental trouble with education. People assume that everybody can take education, whereas the ma jority of people have not the na- tive ability to grasp anything be- yond the simplest reading writing and arithmetic.
 Too many boys and girls are going to college whom nature in- tended to be working with a pick and shovel.
 Therefore, to enable everyone to obtain college degree, the col- 1ege education has ben reduced intellectually to such a level that all sorts of things are being taught which have no place in a college or university.
 "How to make soup, or knit stockings. has no place in higher education"
 pr Burr, described the situation as follows:
 "Too many persons are trying to get educated beyond their abili- ties; too many persons trying to find nice jobs--too many parents trying to find nice jobs for. the.s overeducated, but not Overbright. children

PROGRAM TO AID
 NAVAJO INDIANS
WOrkmen to Build New Schools and
 Homes

Tuba City, Ariz. - (UP) - A $5,000,000 improvement program designed to aid the nomadic Nav7 ajo Indians to become an agricul- tural race is in progress on the consolidated Navajo reservation.
 The new reservation is the re- suit of the combination of Navajo territories in Arizona, New Mex ico, Utah and Colorado.
 For the next five years Indian workmen will be busy building new schools. roads, homes and combating soil erosion, according to terms of the program adopted by the, chiefs at their annual tri- bal banquet.
 U. s. Indian Commissioner John CollieA expects the conversion. of the Navajo to improve his status and ultimately result in complete independence of the Great White Father at Washington. More than 10000 Indians are affected.
 One of the Indians concessions to the program was their agree ment to reduce their sheep f1ocks by 500,0O0 head. Officials said the large number of grazing sheep was damaging the range and re- sulting in speedy erosion of the soil

which were adopted by other prominent players, and he was one of the Knickerbocker group which worked out the one-over- one principle and the forcing two- bid.
 In 1891 he set out to organize the strongest team in the world, going outside the ranks of recog- nized experts to get brilliant play CTS such as Willard Karn, David Burnstine and Oswald Jacoby. These original Four Horsemen of contract made one-over-one the basis of all their play, and from the beginning of the year through November they were victorious in the Vanderbilt Cup tournament in every major contest-a record un- surpassed in bridge history.
 Sims brought out his first book, Money Contract" a year ago. It stresses psychology and imagina- tion rather than any rigid sys- tenn. He has another book in preparation. Last March Shep- ard Barclays annual ranking placed Sims at the top of the con- tract list. "If his overwhelming success in rubber play Gin addi- ton to tournament competition) could be counted" Barclay said, it would show this tremendous figure of a man bestriding the entire con- tract field like a Colossus"

WIFE A LEADING WOMAN PLAYER

Mrs Dorothy Rice Sims is as much an individualist as her hus- band. In the 1900's when she was a society deb who hated so- ciety, headline writers called her the "Blue-Streak Girp' because she occasionally got arrested for riding a motorcycle 20 miles an hour on Fifth avenue. She took up painting and sculpture, studied ill Paris, married and divorced an American, artist. In 1916 she be- came one of the first American women airplane pilots, and wept because she wasn't allowed to go to war.
 She and Sims were married in 1918, and over his protests she took up bridge. She now is one of the leading women players in the country, and is generally cred tied with being the first to make practical use of the dangerous psychic bid. She doesn't dance, drink, or gamble. She still sculpts, and goes about her house dressed in colorfhl gypsy-like costumes. However, she buys innumerable stylish frocks, which she gives away to anyone who admires them.
 It is not true that Sims and his wife are never partners at bridge, though Sims himself be- lieves the practice should be avoid ed by all married couples. I'm sure that I'm meaner with her than when play with anyone else," he admitted. "The reason is that take chances, make mos of the mistakes myself, and do most of the criticizing, while she plays a good, sound game"

Hitler Against Curtailing Activities - Seeks

Berlin (UP) - After long months of anxiety, German cater CTS and restaurateurs are heaving sigh of relief, for it develops that even in the national social ist state judicious measure of recreation will not be frowned on.
 Flo ra long time it was touch and go. Serious minded NaZi leaders emphasized the desirability of a return to simple Teutonism. It looked like long, hard winter for night clubs, gala balls and ban- quets.
 Then Chancellor Hitler set all fears. at rest by urging that "the theology of frugality and the sys- tematic curtailment of demand must be combated with every force.
 "This bolshevistic idea of grad ual suppression of the require ments, of civilization would lead to the destruction of living and of commerce." he said. "The decisive factor is not to curtail ones self, but to better ones self"
 Now ballroom proprietors are anticipating good business. Many functions already have been listed, a large percentage under the aus pices of NaZi organizations. Ev- eryone from bowlers to musicians seems to be planning dance or banquet.
 In addition, there are the an- nual functions, many of them very sumptuous affairs.

In play, Sims quickly sorts his cards by suit, but not sequence, taking in at glance how many tricks the hand is good for at each suit and at no trump. Then he observes his opponents, striving by their behavior and bidding to form a picture of the hands they hold.
 
 FACTOR IN PLAY
 PREVENTIVE MEMORY
 I'm blessed with a remarkable photographic memory" he said. T remember years ago going to demonstration by memory ex-' pert, who offered $1,0O0 to anyone who could do his stunt of calling off a deck of cards forward and backward. I recognized at once that he'd introduce a cold deck arranged in a certain order, and did the stunt for him. But I'm still waiting for the money.
 ''The only bridge expert I know with a better memory is William E. McKenney, secretary of the American Bridge League (who writes daily articles for the Demo- crat and NEA Service). So far

as I know, he has the best card
 memory in the world. Mac can
 take an honestly-shuffled deck, riffle through it, then call it for
 ward and backward. He also can play several games simultaneously,
 blindfolded, remembering his own
 hands, the dummies and the plays at each table .. Of course, a good player doesn't have to have such a phenomenal memory, but a
 lot of us envy McKenney his ability to recall all the hands of ia tour
 nament days after it has been played" > Sims doesn't believe, either, that his own natural ability at mathe- matics has much to do with his card skill. And he denies that
 he's superstitious, though he has all sorts of lunches about lucky clothes, and lucky chairs and dreads being touched by kibit- ger. He believes unhappy people and cripples hold the best cards.
 He swears it's just a coinei- dence that his big estate is located at a town named Deal, N. J. His big rambling house on the shore road there has become a private Mount Olympus of the contract world, and an invitation to visit Deal is considered an accolade from the master. The place al- ways has from two to a dozen guests, and life there is a continu- al round of games. Sims bets on anything, but is scrupulously fair, always sizing. up his guests and estimating how much they can af- ford to lose. Thus he>may bet a wealthy man $25 a hole on golf game. and some impoverished youngsters 25 cents on a game of billiards :. And will get exactly the same thrill from winning either hnf

NEA SCFv1c0 Stom OOrreSpOmuenC.
 New York.-Long after his elim- ination from the Vanderbilt Cup bridge tournament, P. Hal Sims sulked in his tent. At least, it had the proportions of tent, though it was just a pink silk dressing gown, worn in Sims hotel room.
 The ponderous maestro could find no solace in the fact that he remains the top-ranking player-expert of the United States. Nor was he comforted by remembering that the two youngsters who helped upset his defense of the coveted trophy had been his special proteges.
 For Hal Sims, there is no sub- stitute for victory-and alibis are a dime a dozen.
 Sitting there with his long legs tucked under his great bulk, his blue eyes wide and imperturbable beneath mop of disheveled hair [ that hung in .ringlets, he looked like a cherubic Buddha in some outlandish negligee. I always play to win,' he said. And when I lose sit around and think over all my mistakes so they may not be made again.
 
 HAS PENCHANT
 FOR BETTING
 "To be successful in any busi- ness or sport, you've got to have the killer instinct. And the in- stinct of self-preservation is just as important. A good gambler, for instance, has a lot more than mere daring. He seems to scent threats and danger mile away.
 "I like to bet on anything horse races, cards, billiards, his. Most of all like to bet on golf, because, unlike bridge, you're not responsible to partner for your conduct. I don't like roulette, or any other sure-thing mathematical game. enjoy stud poker, which has in- teresting problems, but find draw very boring unless the company's amusing .. At bridge, though, can play with the worlds three worst bores and still be enter tained by the problems it offers"
 Sims always has played cards in his leisure time. From a boyhood in Selma, Ala, he went into banking, then into the export business. He made 8 fortune, inherited another, mar- ried a wealthy woman. and in the early 1920's retired to enjoy him. self as sportsman. He became 8 familiar figure at the Knicker- booker Whist club. When auction bridge came in, bringing lot of hard-and-fast conventions of its predecessor, Sims begun to go unconventional in a big way. His unorthodox methods drove his op- ponents to distraction, especially since he won consistently. Some 1 regarded him with actual suspicion and some with disapproval. His sloppy dress and undignified pos ture at a bridge table were no credit to the snooty Knickerbocker | clubs His big hands seemed gro- | tesquely awkward. And when he | played, his broad ,impassive face | looked almost childishly innocent. |
