Then and Now

The shift from auction bridge
to contract bridge has i'm
proved bidding, as the majority
of players realize. In auction
days nearly every player would
have chosen 1-No Trump as the
opening bid on the hand held
by A. Now any trained bidder
would open with 1-Spade, as
advised by Hulme-Beaman,
Ernest Bergholt, K. N. Steele and
others, prior to 1900. The diff
ference in bidding a decade ago
and now may make a whale
of a difference in results, as
will be seen.

The Rhymins
Optimist

BY ALINE MICHAELIs
Poets Love
Poets have learned
(Oh, long agoD
The wisest men
Make light Of woe.
Poets have found
How love is brief
Az Is the fan
OF withered leaf.
So, it Is well
That these can gain
Their happiness
In songs refrain.
That words they weave
In patterns gay
Can charm the cares
OF life away.
Can bid them love
And beauty's self,
Whom they pursue.

GOLD WEATHER
 RECORD BROKEN
In Several Sections All Marks Were Outdone as
 Reports Come In

New Haven, Conn.,, Oct. 25.- fUP).--Cold weather records for this date. which have stood for years, were equalled or broken in Connecticut this morning. accord ing to c. J. Doherty, government meteorologist. In New Haven the mercury dropped to 2s degrees at 5 o'clock, and in the county it went three or four degrees lower, Doherty said. Killing frosts were general throughout the state, and similar low readings were reported from all sections.
 The New Haven temperature, Doherty said, was the coldest for this date since 1879. Warmer weather is on the way, however, and should reach the state tomor- row. High winds accompanied the temperature drop, but did little damage except in Waterbury, wheye limbs were ripped from trees and some telephone and light poles were torn down.

THIS CITY FELT
 FIRST OF WINTER

(Continued from Page D clock this morning and the dead cold was dispersed when the sun, very strong, rose high in the hea- vens towards Il o'clock. At noon the temperature was comparatively comfortable in view of the time of the year. With rain promised for tomorrow 1t Is question of whether the temperature will gdow warmer or colder. Even the wea- ther man does not know as yet but he figures that it will be warm- The windstorm of late yesterday afternoon and last night, which forced the mercury down in the thermometers, caused considerable damage here.
 Electric Poles Fall
 Four electric poles were thrown to the ground and limbs of trees throughout the city were ripped off, and falling upon wires, brought about further trouble.
 At noon today, however. the Connecticut Light and Power com pany and the Southern New Eng land Telephone company had the situation we'll in hand. Service of the Connecticut Light and Power company suffered two interruptions late yesterday and early last night. The Willow street section was without lights for 8 minute or so when two wires carrying 2,300 volts touched and threw circuit breakers open. They were quickly put back into service. A section of g tree falling on a 13,000 volt wire on Robbins street crippled service in certain parst of that section for about 1e minutes. Power company repair crews were on the job quickly and repaired the damage.
 Telephone Interrupted
 Poles carrying telephone wires feii at the cornef of Hamilton aye nue and Bridge street, at Calvin and River streets and at Yates and Randolph avenues. These interrup- tions in telephone service were quickly rectifed. In addition, yari- otis other troubles were reported to the telephone company which were quickly rectified. The local fire alarm system suffered from falling limbs during the height of the wind storm but the repair crew of the fire department quick ly rectifed conditions.
 Many Watefburians realized the unusual drop in the mercury when they were forced to use more fuel to keep their homes warm. The let-up In the cold snap is expect ed late today much to the satisfac- tion of everybody.

Qptufn and Continued Progress in Unemployment
 Attributed to MIRA Sources

September 30. In the IS commun- tiles served by this company they reported that 136 industrial con cerns "started or expanded op- erations during the 15-day per- iod." In one town MIRA Is re- sponsible for an increase of 205 employees and increased business has resulted"
 A nationally known overall man. ufacturer reported that sales for September 1893 trebled those of September 1892, A large, whole sale merchant tailoring establish ment wrote MIRA that sales for last month 'exceeded those for the corresponding month last year by 105 per cent" A Los Angeles manufacturer of mems shirts wrote: "As an indication of the re- suits of MIRA, for the first time in more than years we had to ad- vertise for operators. We receiy- ed only replies from women seeking work. This is certainly an indication that the employment situation is being relieved"

as supporting the state federation of labor. Officials of the local or ganization, the police and employ CTS gave instances of mutual con fidence, although they would not prevent some wild reports and threats from being circulated.
 Out of the misunderstanding of yesterday comes the report that every truck driver in Waterbury, eligible for membership in the h. ternational Brotherhood of Team sters, Chauffeurs and Truckers Union, will be enrolled shortly and will have their own officers and representatives to meet with state and national officials and .gnided by Q definite policy. Many of the local operatives are already union men. The principle of union rec ognition was not involved in yes terday's trouble as employers in agreeing to arbitrate the dispute actually recognized the union and consented to deal with its repre- sentatives.
 Strike Called on
 The decision to call off the strike was reached last evening follow ing a conference in the MIRA head quarters In Hartford. Dr Edward c. Dolan, state chairman of the national recovery board, was pres ent at the conferences, which led to the publication of the orders that all drivers should return to their places of employment at once.
 Word was received here in time for James F. Corrigan to an- nounce the decision at the mass meeting of drivers held in Liberty hall on Bank street.
 Trucks rolled out of local term inals and passed through the city last evening on schedule. The guards and supernumeraries were removed when word came from Hartford that the strike had been settled.
 Gangster Fear Falls
 As a result of rumors circulated yesterday concerning the possible employment of gangsters, members of the detective bureau remained on duty last evening. The emer- gency squad and the motor patrol members were held at police head quarters as reserves, but no trouble developed.
 In contrast to yesterdays events Captain Richrad Leroy, desk offi- cer, had a quiet day of 1t to-day. No complaints, no anxious tele- phone inquiries or alarms, were re- ceiyed.
 Local labor officials expressed their pleasure to-day that the in cident was a closed chapter and announced that in the future Wa terbury would have local leaders in charge of events to prevent any more misunderstandings.

eral strike of drivers and helpers within a month came to an end. Tbe walkout, involving several thousand truckmen and the ma jority of transportation companies was settled at conference last night and the men returned to work to-day under the same ar bitration board agreement they sought to better in the strike. "The strike was called under a misapprehension," said Attorney Michael j.. Quinn, counsel for the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, Chauffeurs. Stablemen and Helpers of America.
 Many of the truckmen believed
 the arbitration board agreement announced Monday did not provide for union recognition. The origin al contract between the union, truckers and employers signed September 26, and providing for an arbitration board composed of rep resentatives of the union, truckmen and employers, included such rec; ognition. The contract also stated that the findings of the arbitration board would be final.

Convincing eyi- Hence of the nature and extent of fhe business upturn and continued progress in unemployment are be- ing supplied to the national recov- cry administration from many reli- able sources. Concrete examples are submitted of the already ap- parent effect of the "Now is the timeto buy" campaign.
 Experienced heads of national advertising organizations, main- faining branches or permanent Representatives in all centers of Population who have been keeping closely in touch with local condi- lions, are unanimous in their opin- ion that the American people are entering upon what one trmed "a stupendous era of supplying theri wants" Due to the prolonged period during which a consider able proportion of workers have been out of the market for many necessaries, there Is now a stimula- ton of production in factories which many site is unprecedented.

 Machinery Not Ready
 Nc actual purchases of gold have been Reported under tho govern ment's new buying rate as machin- cry for receiving the metal and rendering the payment in 90-day Reconstruction Finance Corpora ton debentures has not yet been formulated.
 To-day's gold value of the dollar was 65 54-1O0 cents. This com pares with 65 91-100 cents yester- day.
 To-days gold price was an- nounced by Jesse Jones. chairman of the board of the. Reconstruc- ton Finance Corporation, through which the gold transactions are being carried on.

 washingtori, oct 26.-(UP)- Daily purchases of gold VIII pc made in accordance with the new policy laid down by President commodity prices.
 This action, 1t was learned in authoritative quarters, will be car ried out as usual from the treas- ury although 1t was explained that of necessity the government may not continue stepping up the price for gold daily.
 It was said htat there was the possibility a more or less constant figure being reached which would, of course, be above that made in the London and Paris markets.
 BRITAIN RAISES TOO
 London, Oct 26.-(UP)-The St Swithin Lane gold board fixed the price of gold today at 1S0 shillings 9 1-2 pence, corresponding to SS1.06 a fine ounce at the II a. m. exchange rate of $4.75 to the pound.
 The rate represented a premium of 8 1-2 pence on the French franc. It was 30 cents below the price fixed at Washington yesterday.
 After announcement of today's London rate the dollar, which had opened at s4.74 and weakened at II a. m., to s4.75, steadied to S4.74 1-2.
 Financial circles inclined to be- lieve that the Washington gold price set a t$S1.36 a nne ounce would not greatly affect the ex- change rate so long as purchases were confined to newly mined American gold. Thus fears Of fIuctukiion were ailayed.
