effect OF the Tugweil bill, II passed.
upon business and upon the rights
of private citizens cannot be meas
ured except by an analysis of the
bill itself. The actual provisions
Of the bill are likely to be OBJ
scured by a smoke screen of as
serted aims and purposes which,
no matter how agreeable, do not
Justify the proposed legislation. Mr.
Hoge writes.
Attorney Hodge will point out
some of the most drastic changes
proposed in the bill and how, IL
passed, It will affect each and
every housewife, to say nothing of
the scores of merchants and BUSH
ness men. Under its provision the
secretary of agriculture can arbi-
trarily seize godos of the .mer-
chant, shipper or householder by
merely invoking any one of 26
provisions of the measure.

Church Notes

The Christmas Fund of the Con-
gregational board of ministerial re-
lief for the benefit of aged Congre-
gational and Christian ministers or
their needy families makes its an
nual appeal at this time. The need
this year is most urgent. 1t is diff
ficult to see how our aged and dis
abled ministers and their families
can be kept alive unless the Christ
mas fund of 1888 reaches the fig
ure of last year which was $61,-
900. Contributions may be forward
ed through our church treasurer,
Orion P. Camp.
Midway between the two feasts
of Thanksgiving and Christmas
there comes the rational fast of
Golden Rule Sunday, December 10
and Golden Rule Week, December
10 to II. During this period we
are asked to have any day in the
week but wholly adequate fare as
most people are glad to have any
day in the week and to give thought
to the many million of our fellow
citizens who have neither harvests
nor employment and for whom
there can be no Christmas joys or
New Years hope except as we
practice as well as preach the Gold
en- Rule by sharing from our sur
plus. All members of the congre-
cation who wish to observe Golden
Rule Week and to share their sur
plus may give their contribution to
Mrs Croft, church secretary, and
she will see that it is turned over
to the foundation in New York
city.

bowling team has challenged the

quested to call Mrs e. M. Stanley.

CONTRACT BRIDGE
RY VIM f. McKENNEY
Squeeze Evens Bad Break Declarer Makes Slam Con
tract Despite Unfavorabe Opening And
Unsuccessful Finesse.
Secretary oil che American Bridge League

While believe that, in tour
nament play, it is wrong to
bid a doubtful grand slam when
you have a sure small slam, you
do have to learn all the tricks
even in bidding a small slam.
To-day's is one of the interesting
hands that helped Mrs q. A. III.
Gardner and Mrs A. c. Hoffmier of
Cleveland win the Canadian-Amer-
lean pair championship at Niagara
Falls, N. Y, recently, over a strong
field representing both countries.
In this hand we find that the de-
clarer did not receive a favorable
opening, which would have been q
spade. She also lost the diamond
finesse, but still made her contract,
by employing the squeeze.
The Bidding
In, the bidding, we find North
and South each mentioning a
three-card suit. South bid three
ypades to make a constructive bid
over her partners three hearts.
If she jumped to five hearts,

Is Speaker At Forum,

Difficulties concerning Russian
life, policy and religion were an
swered by Rev David P. Gaines at
the weekly Y. M. c. A. forum yes
terday afternoon. Emphasizing the
fact that all his opinions were

all questions on the Soviet repub-

He declared that Russia was
swinging gradually back into the
folds of religion, and that with
the regaining of religious security
many of the country's difficulties
would be solved. He said that Rus

discovering it's own power and It's

MERCER PLANS
Too Many Institutions of
Higher Learning, Says
Or. Scott.

BIZ United Press
CHICAGO, Dec. Proposals for
merger of Chicago's two largest
universities. Northwestern and Chi
cago. today were given the approval
of Dr. Walter Dill Scott, president
of Northwestern university.
Plans for a merger of administra-
ton of the two universities. having
a total enrolment Of more than
10000 students. have been under
consideration for nearly year.
Both are private y-sustained
schools.
Trustees of the University of Chi
cago have irrevocably pledged them
selvs not to make the merger as a
means of securing tax exemptions
on the property held by their uni
versity, DR.. Scott said.
The merger is no tax lodging
scheme" he said. 1T will take no
property off the tax lists. This
pledge should remove the suspicion
that there is anything financially
sinister in the plans now being
worked out
DR.. Scott said there are today in
the United States 1900 institutions
of higher learning. That NUMBER
should be reduced so per cent. not
by examinations, but by mergers,

In this weeks edition of the
journal appeared a double column
headline on the front page read
ing: Richmond Journal Editor
Goes Wet: Lands In Jail"
The story read:
Scott M. Thomas, dry coeditor
of the Richmond County Journal,
mixed South Carolina corn liquor
and Pennsylvania beer, drank too
much of both and landed in jail
here few minutes after mid
night Saturday.
He remained incarcerated two
hours, being bailed out by friend
at 2 a. m. Sunday. In mayor S
court yesterday, he was taxed
with the costs, $5.85, He was
charged with being drunk, but
from general reports, he could
have been charged also with being
disorderly."
Thomas recounted that a little
boy in the Pee Dee mill village
asked him: Scott, are you going
to put this in the paper?"
Thomas answered by saying IN
his story: IAN editor who won't
put his own misfortune in print
has no right to publish another's."
