Conquering Contract

we probably have game in that major
suit, and certainly should contract Tor

one must try to sign Oh at the lowest
contract in the minor suit. Another
factor to consider Is whether the minor
suit itself will provide two entries into
dummy for the partner in case he
wants to play the hand In three no
trumps. Naturally. II the bidding goes

trumps, you do not wish to upset that
bid, however much you may dislike it.
Your partner has made slam try. over
fore, to let him play for game. but pref
erably for nine tricks rather than
eleven. If your diamonds are Z, 6, 4,
8, 2. that suit IS likely to be blocked
unless your partner actually holds the
5 spot; give him to the A K @ 8
8, and he will lose no diamond trick;
but he also will be unable to get into
dummy. There Is no "no-trump angle"
whatever to your hand, and would,
therefore, be inclined to pass instead of
raising the diamond bid.

in three no trlmps whether reached
by q Jump takeout on his part, or
gradually despite your faithful sign

to have to bid defensively against q

opponents. especially If your partner is
not able to rebid persistently in terms

that your partner should know that

A Tournament Angle.
In deciding between three no trumps
and five in minor suit. remember that
in matchpoint scoring the new schedule
no longer favors the no-trump declara-
tion as it formerly did. Three odd in
no trumps now counts 100 instead of
los; whereas five in q minor remains
unchanged at 100 points. Thus the
minor suit game contract may be
selected for safety without necessarily
losing the board against those who
play 1t In no trumps. Under the old
scoring, one was impelled to gamble on
the no-trump declaration even when
one felt the minor suit contract was
much safer. In this particular situa-
ton the new scoring has brought du-
pIcate into closer alignment with rub

THEATER
SILVER DOLLAR" AT
vASHoN THEATRE THIS WEEK

Every time movie company puts
on historical picture, with characters
from real life, descendent or two APP
pears with damage suit claiming
that great-upcle Hoozis was not pic
tured in favorable light. So when
First National decided to reproduce on
the screen the colorful life of Haw
Tabor, who rode to fabulous wealth
on the Leadville silver strike, they
called the screen character Yates
Martin, and left it to the audience to
draw its own parallel.
The rich and picturesque career of
Haw Tabor, who bought his way into
the United States senate for period
OF thirty days, discarded his wife of
hardpan days for an ornate blonde
and even badgered an American presi-
dent into attending his wedding, loses
nothing in the competent hands of
Edward G. Robinson. MIR. Robinson
owes his brilliant career in the movies
to his gangster portrayals, but his part
in Silver Dollar" fits him like glove.
Perhaps had he lived in our time,
friend Tabor might have been a gang
ster instead of a respected citizen,
scattering hotels and theater buildings
over his beloved Colorado. In silver
Dollar" Mr.. Robinson makes of Yates
Martin, the Tabor counterpart a curl
ously fascinating character-reckless.
eztravagant, flamboyant, simple man
dazzled by his own luck. 1t is an en-
crossing picture of boom mining days.
when our land was rugged and adven-
turous, hard living and hard playing.
Not only does Edward G. Robinson
give a performance of genuine merit,
but credit should go too to his sup

the type of work turned out by the

is the special for limited time. The
difficulty of washing pillows is well

agree with Mr.. Mccarthy that it is
too much work without proper equip

Kidnapped Charles
 Boettcher Ransomed
(Continued from Page 1)

Less than two hours after Boettcher was released, a hot trail was picked up near Barr where Deputy Sheriff Charles Williams Of Adams county and two volunteers battled two men believed to have been the fleeing kidnapers.
 Fifteen shots were fired at the speeding suspects. Some were be- lieved to have taken effect. The men returned the fire, but escaped in their dark sedan.
 A few hours later the men roared into Greeley and came to a stop. Patrolmen Claus and Vim rushed toward them in police cruiser. The men, who had start ed to alight, fired at the patrol men, and were answered with a barrage.
 One of the suspects appeared to have been wounded as he scram- bled back to his place in the sedan as it gathered speed.
 The officers pursued. The chase led northward on the Cheyenne highway. Gradually the faster machine of the men in flight pulled away.
 Just before the Wyoming capital was reached the officers were out distanced. A second time the trail was lost.
 Authorities believed the men doubled back toward Colorado. Sheriff George Carroll of Cheyenne directed deputies and volunteers who proceeded southward. Detec- tives J. s. Turner, o. A. Carter and John O'Donnell of Denver, carried an automobile load of ma chine guns and rifles northward

house of delegates supporting the bill had been selected by county medical societies and that the bill had never been submitted to the membership of the Connecticut Medical Society for a vote.
 The doctor asserted that the bill is unsound medically because it violates natural law. He drew an analogy between birth control practices and the esta ablishment in ancient Rome of vomitoriums ad- jacent to the banquet halls. He said that while the prime reason for eating is to build up energy so that we may live, the Romans put the taste and enjoyment of eating first and filled themselves to ex- cess.
 Dr Keefe said that he had traced many diseases of patients to birth control practices and added that many other persons who had prac- ticed birth control and are now childless are sorry. Pregnancy, he said, has a salutary effect on some diseases. He asked what limita- tion is to be placed on the terms in the bill "health of the patient. He declared that it might be con- strued that pregnancy itself should be prevented or that cavity in tooth would be sufficient excuse. Dr Keefe declared that the prob- lem is more a social one than medical one. It is, he said, the

Senate Quits as
 It Hears News
(Continued from Page 1)

The adjournment resolution was offered by Minority Leader Robin son, a close associate of the late senator.
 Senators have been greatly surprised and shocked to receive information that one of our ablest and most beloved members has passed away" Robinson said.
 Senator Walsh of Montana, has served more than 20 years in the senate of the United States and during that period his service has been of ability and constant loy- alty:''
 His death," said Senator Rob- inson, "comes as a great shock and will cause sincere grief to all his colleagues. He was a man of mo- table ability and upright character. His passing is a distinct loss to the entire nation"
 Senator Wheeler, dem., Mont, said: "I am grieved beyond words to learn of his passing. It is q great shock to me. He and I had been such intimate friends that it is as though my own father had passed on."
 Senator Walsh, dem., Mass, said: Ills departure Is an almost irreparable loss to the public well fare. I considered him one of the soundest, safest and wisest public servants in American life today"
 Death of Senator Thomas J. Walsh, who Saturday would be- come attorney general in the Roosevelt cabinet, stunned his as- sociates today and cast shadow of sorrow over preparations for inauguration festivities.
 Senator Walsh's death ended a brilliant legal and political career which was to have been climaxed by the highest law enforcement post in the land.
 Washington looked upon Walsh as one of the strongest members of the incoming cabinet. As leading figure in the senate's in- vestigation of the Harding admin istration oil scandals, the sombre Montana senator established reputation as a relentless prose- cutor. Long before that he was known as an outstanding authority on constitutional law.
 Walsh was born at Two Rivers Wis, on June 12, 1859. His par ents were poor and he earned his
