other day Mr. Richards mailed me
the following interesting hand
which he said was the best he had
seen since his visit to the coast.
The Bidding
Under the constructive one over
one system of bidding, South
would bid one club, North one
heart. South makes a third con-
structive, bid of two diamonds.
North bids two hearts, South bids
three clubs and North bids four
hearts.
To- The Play
Against Mr. Richards who sat In
the North, East opened the king
Of spades and before playing to the
first trick Mr. Richards had to plan
the hand out. He could see that
his trouble was going to be to get
back into his own hand.

Palace Ready for
"Jig.Saw ReveIs"

over a score Of stage mechanics,
electricians and other necessary
help completed their labors last
night at the Palace theater and
this afternoon the results Of their
work was sen in the first perfor-
mances of "Jig-Saw Revels" the
greatest musical show that has
been seen in Waterbury in some
time.
With q cast that Is made of 40
players, here you have entertain-
ment Of the kind that New York
gets, the only difference being that
at the Palace there has been no
advance in prices, from the small
popular ones of the theater, while
In New York or other larger cities,
the price of this show would have
been at least 500 per ticket.
There Is only one thing the matter
with the whole show and that is
that there isn't enough Of It.
Milton Douglas, an irresponsible
chap Is oil over the stage and Is
he. funny, well there aren't any
funnier that we have seen, then a.
mong other noticed we're Mary
Price, Kramer Pauline and Lewis,
Perry Mayo, Freeman and Morton,
Sally Dunn, Mack Murray and
others. We mustn't forget to mem
ton the work of the girls who
were on the program as Jimmy
Mahr's "Gigolettes" what q gor-
geous array OF femininity was
presented with this group, they
danced In all conceivable manner
and proved q sensation, and last
but by no means least there was
the Hollywood Melodians" mas
tiers of rhythm as they were call
ed and they lived up to the name.
Here Is one show that you can
not afford to MISS make your
plans now to attend, either tonight,
Saturday or Sunday as you will be
we'll pleased.
In addition to the stage show
there was also presented the regu-
lar picture program, James Dunn
and Gloria Stuart, were seen In
"Tho Girl In 40" and selected
shorts made up program that if
1t doesn't keep the ticket seller
busy at the Palace while 1t Is here,
then waterbury doesn't want the
best in entertainment.
Announcement was also made
that the great star OF the radio.
Lanny Ross Of the Maxwell House
"Showboat Hour" would be present
In person, for the program that
starts Monday. surely the Palacetis
doing their share to bring to town

bury. Fifteen fires have been
reported since January 1 in the
nine counties on the Eastern
Shore district according to the
announcement.
Worcester County leads with
five reported fires. Three have
occurred in Cecil County, three
in Wicomico; two in Caroline,
and one each in Talbot and
Somerset.
1t was stated that the major
ity of fires always occur during
the period March, April and
May. The five: fire towers on
the Shore will open about
March 20 so as to more quickly
inform the forest wardens and
their crews when fires occur.
These towers are located at
Foys Hill in Cecil County, on
the State line near Hickman in
Caroline, at Church Creek in
Dorchester, near Quantico in
Wicomico, and NassaWango in
Worcester county.
Smokers, brushburners, and
saw mill operators were given
as the chief causes of spring
fires. These groups are being
cautioned by the Forestry De-
partment as are all other users
.of the woods.
Besides the property damage
caused by fires and the result
ant decrease in taxable values.
it was pointed out that the cost
of fire fighting continues to, be
a problem for the State and
Counties.
Landowners and forest war
dens and their crews are being
urged to give prompt attention
to all fires. The assistance of
the public in the prevention
and suppression of fires is re-
quested.

q, Captured

Four Prohibition y Enforce
1lent officers from Baltimore,
paid a visit to this county last
week, and with Cecil county
deputies wrecked two moon
shine layouts and captured a
truck load of alcohol.
The officers located a still in
the Whitaker barrens, near
Principle Furnace, and de-
stroyed it, together with 1900
gallons of mash. The still was
of 200 gallon capacity. Two
men who we're operating the
plant made their escape, leav-
ing their auto behind, which
was confiscated by the officers.
The same night the officers
and deputies visitedethe Upper
Barrens and just across the
State line, two miles north of
Rising Sun blew up a 2OO-gal-
Ion still and 1900 gallons of
mash with dynamite. Two
men working about the still,
were surprised, but one of them
made his escape, the other, a
man named AlNch, was arrest
ed and taken to Baltimore.
An automobile was confiscated.
The officers started on their
return trip to Baltimore, stop
ping at roadside stand at
Porters Bridge for a midnight

WELFARE ASSOCIATION
Executive Committee Confers
With County Commission
ers--Ways And Means
Considered

The County Commissioners
on March 10th, met the Execu-
tive Committee of the Cecil
County Welfare Association
and a small committee Of rep
resentative citizens to consider
what might be done to make
possible the continuation of the
care of dependent children.
Because of the smaller .ap-
preparation made by the Coun-
ty Commissioners last July the
Association now finds itself
without funds to continue the
next four monthss The Asso-
citation has raised from private
contributions more than the
appropriation made from coun-
ty funds but this amount falls
far short of the amount needed
to carry on the work.
The 81 children now in care
of the Association are mostly
being boarded in private homes
at a rate for board considered
the minimum for such care.
They are all normal children
and are generally doing very
well in their present environ
lnent.
The County Commissioners
made two propositions, one
that they would arrange for
the care of ten or more of the
children at the County Home
at Cherry Hill for ninty days,
which, by the way, is the limit
of time allowable to keep child
rem in such institutions.
The delegation felt that the
mentioned plan would be
very hard on the children, and
agreed to ask the boarding
mothers to accept temporarily
a cut in pay rather than make
such a change.
With help the Associa-
ton will attempt to continue to
function but they surely hope
that better times are just
around the corner, and that
this work can go on with credit
to the County and to the Asso-
citation sponsoring it.

MARCH MEETING OF FARM.
ERS' CLUB

The March meeting of the
Ninth District Farmers Club
was held at the home of Mr..
and Mrs. Atlee Armour, near
Greenhurst, on Wednesday.
County Agent ]. A. Miller
discussed the agricultural stu
alton and the outlook in Mary
land for 1888. He predicted
that prices of farm commodi-
ties would remain low.
"The farmers success for the
next few years will depend
largely upon his ability to re-
duce costs and to make other
adjustments in his operations"
Mr.. Miller told members of the
club. "The Maryland farmer
must devote most of his time to
keeping his farm and obtaining
an adequate living for his fam
ily," he said.
Others who addressed the
meeting were Home Demon
stration Agent Priscilla B.
Pancoast, Ralph Wilson and
d. B. Mcdowell, who spoke in
the interest of the Maryland
Farm Bureau Federation.
Charles e. Ferguson, repre-
senting the North East Cham
Der of Commerce, urged the
club to work for a reduction of
electric rates. Mr.. Mcdowell,
Mr.. Wilson, DR.. G. F. Miller and
J. B. Fassitt were named a
committee to meet with the
Commerce Chamber in this
matter.

JOBS NOT JAGS

The people want JOBS not
jags. Many former treweries
and distilleries are using about
ten times as much labor as
when they made beer and whis-
key, and infinitely more raw
materials bought from other
industries and from the farm
er.
Pabst in Milwaukee makes
cheeses; Anheuser-Busch in
st. Louis and Willow Brewery,
soft drinks; Squibbs distllleries
in Indiana, stock foods; Poor
ia, ILL.,, distilleries, cereal pro-
ducts; Blatz Brewery, candies;
Capitol Brewery, Washington,
ice cream; another Milwaukee
brewery has become a motor
cycle factory; others are meat
packing plants, maple syrup
canneries; and makers of malt
ed milk and various other
foods that are health giving.
The authority for this state
ment comes from the National
