Avoid Friction at Bridge
F.. Hall Downes' Advice

taught in a reform school at
one time"
Rules Mostly Old
After all, Mr.. Downes explained,
almost any of the new 1888 rules
on the fine points Of contract
can be found in books published
more than so years ago. He re-
ferred particularly to whist and
Bumblepuppy," written by Penn
bridge in 1870.
The main point in his lecture,
DowneS declared, is to stress the
necessity Of eliminating friction
between the players. He said:
"The various systems are re-
spOnsible greatly for this. If
players would cOnfine them
selves to playing a common
sense game, much Of this fric-
tiOn would be eliminated"

Saves Big Dollars! No Cooking!

Millions of housewives have found
that, by mixing their own cough medi-
cine, they get a purer, more effective
remedy. They use recipe which costs
only One-fourth as much as ready
made medicine, but which really has no
equal for breaking up obstinate coughs.
From any druggist, get 212 ounces
of Pinex. Pour this into a pint bottle,
and add granulated sugar syrup to fill
up the pint. The syrup is easily made
with cups sugar and one cup water,
stirred few moments until dissolved.
No cooking needed. It's no trouble at
all, and makes the most effective
remedy that money could buy. Keeps
perfectly, and children love its taste.
Its quick action in loOsening the
phlegm, clearing the air passages, and
soothing away the Inflammation, has
caused it to be used in more homes
than any other cough remedy.
Pinex is a highly concentrated com.
pound of Norway Pine, famous for its
healing effect on throat membranes. IL
is guaranteed to give prompt relief or

Representative William I. Siro-

In favor Of restoring Federal pay

sage sent by him to E. Claude Bah
cock, president of the American
Federation of Government En-

Sirovich declares that he was
opposed to reduction of salaries

that he always has been in favor
Of q Saving wage" Speaking Of
cuts in Federal pay, SiroVich
said:
"How that would increase

an economic fallacy, unjust in

GRAPE RA|SERS
INDIFFERENT
To REPEAL
BY JAMES r. MCCARTHY
Copyright. 1898. by International
News Service)

News Service)
FRESNO, Cal, Oct. 80 G.N.S)
This, for the sake Of a label is
the story of a happy but bewil-
dered valley.
1t is happy because repeal Of
prohibition, that important phase
Of the new deal, is going to assure
grape farmers of steady and
permanent legal market.
It IS considerably bewildered be-
cause the farmers have no asSur-
ance that the big legitimate wine
grape market is going to bring
them any greater profits than
they have enjoyed before repeal
ct least higher prices are not ex.
pected for some time.
Market Never Lost
That may seem paradoXical,
but only to those who still
naively assume that there was no
domestic market for wine grapes
during the prohibition era, or to
those who confuse the lot of the
grape grower with the wine
manufacturer.
I was confused, myself, as I
talked with grape farmers and
discovered no attitude Of high
enthusiasm over impending re-
peal. True enough they spoke
with justifiable pride about their
particular kind Of wine grapes
and spread wordy condemnation
upon the heads of those who un-
patriotically praise French wines.
But prices? That was something
else.
Repeal to Cut Price
One farmer, over an excellent
bottle of home made wine, eX-
planned. He has about 600 acres.
Before prohibition he was receiv-
ing between SIS and $40 ton Cor
grapes sold to legitimate wine
manufacturers. But in the midst
Of prohibition, especially during
the prosperous years, this sum
jumped to $100. His clients were,
for the most part, he said, for
eigners in the East who made
their own wine, mostly for home
consumption. Under repeal he ex-
poets a price Of only "$11 a ton
or So."

GAS VALUATION
HEARINGS ON

Valuation of real estate held by
the washington and Georgetown
Gas Light Companies was to be
the first item taken up at the
valuation hearings of the two COM
panies before the Public Utilities
Commission today.
The companies will present
their case in full before Commis-
sion witnesses are called. Counsel
for the gas companies has an
nounced that an effort will be
made to fix a valuation on gas
company holdings in the neighbor-
hood of $50, 100000, figure con-
siderably in excess of what the
Commission contends is a fair
value.
The rate the gas companies is
based on the valuation Of the
properties.
Accountants and engineers for
the companies and the Commits
sion have been comforting for
some months on questions Of re-
placement values in an effort to
shorten the hearings by eliminat-
ing detail. Despite this, hearings
are expected to consume month.

bridge expert"
If any reader can find one, Mr..
E. Hall Downes. one Of the coun-
try's few recognized bridge author
tiles, would like to know about it.
He knows several advanced con-
tract bridge players who "are just
dying" to be recognized as experts
and who need a "home town"
JObIess Enter Field
Confiding to reporters during an
intermission of his bridge lecture
before some 400 eager listeners at
a local department store yester-
day, he said:
ut seems as If everyone out
of employment these days is
turning to bridge for his liveli-
hood. Instructors and experts
are springing up all over the
country, and / have been asked
by many to aid them in their
climb to prominence. After all,
you know, lecturing on bridge
is better than selling apples on
a windy corner these days"
Discussing contract bridge with
the gentlemen Of the press, he
said:
Contract bridge is a Ian
guage, and this language is di-
vided into probably three rec
Ognized SystemS-English, Cul-
bertsOn, and Sims. These aspir-
ing experts, however, would
like to add their own system to
the language. AS for myself,
