NEW YORK. March S.-Gotham's
moneyless or partly moneyless mil
lions ate well today with little or
no increase in prices from the
butcher. the grocer and the baker.
At the chain stores, which link
the boroughS of New York, the pub
lie markets and other food shops,
there were few reports of increased
prices as result of the banking hon-
day. In fact most prices were down
from the seasonal prices expected
at this time of the year.
Business was dull in most shops.
keepers reported, and only from De-
troit did there come any report of
frenzied trade as patrons sought to
lay in extra supplies, fearing infla-
ton as result of the banking diff
culties.
Supplies there were small. but in
New York supplies are excellent,
wholesalers say, and in only some
purely seasonal fruits and vegeta-
bles was there anything resembling
a shortage with resultant higher
prices.
Major commodity markets over
the nation did not reflect increased
prices due to continued close of
banks. Only in livestock was there
any decided upturn, and this was
attributed to belief the markets
would be closed after Tuesday. This
belief was dissipated Tuesday aft
| ernoon when the Chicago Livestock
Exchange rescinded a closing order.
The Pennsylvania Sugar Company
Tuesday rescinded 40 cents sugar
price and placed the price at $50
cents for thirty-day delivery, while
the Arbuckle Bros. placed sugar on
a day-by- day basis at cents Tues
day. Both moves were to halt any
sugar boarding.
Chicago cash lard was up 81
points from Monday and 81 points
from last Friday. New Orleans re-
ported spot cotton bids-although
the exchange is closed-on March
futures, up 20 points.
Cocoa prices, for spot, in New
York were up = cent over the price
at the close of the exchange; spot
coffee was u cent net, lower; but
ter in New York was off Z to
cent; eggs in New York were un-
changed to up = cent.
Local retail butchers said that
pork had increased from IL to 10
cents a pound in the last few days.
and that veal, beef and lamb were
up about 3 cents.

TN The Adventures of the Black
L Girl in Her Search for God,
Bernard Shaw takes a somewhat
hasty but critical glance at the
Bible and concludes that mankind is
making the wrong use Of it.
He does it by telling Of the black
girl who, egged on by missionary
sets out across Africa to find God.
Stark naked and carrying a hefty
club, she wanders along, encoun' er-
ing in succession the God Of Cen
esis, the God of Micah, Jesus OF
Nazareth, Mohammed and, finally
Voltaire, who is spading his garden
assisted by none other than Bernard
Shaw himself.
And after q brief discussion OF
theology, the lady throws away her
club and marries Shaw, helps him
dig in the garden and eventually
bears him a series Of chocolate COL
ored children.
Having uttered this fable, Mr.
Shaw proceeds to diagram it.
BY relying on the Bible as an in
fallible record of facts, he says
mankind has been led to commit
countless errors.
Why, he asks, can't we accept il
as an instructive and frequently
beautiful account of the evolution
of a races ideas about God anc
the soul and human destiny, and lei
it go at that? Only by SO doing
shall we get its real value.
To some readers this will seem
sacrilegious; to others it will seen
like a rehash of what liberal theolo-
gians have been saying for years
Either way, it seems rather thir
stuff.
The booklet is published by Dodd
Mead & Co., and sells at $3.50.

Vile as chief Of the automobile

With the same order, the Gov
ernor transferred the entire division

Jr, secretary Of state, to the new
department Of treasury.
This department is headed bv
the Governor; a board member
whom he will name later, and VIII
liam Storen, state treasurer. Col
lection Of all fees will be under
this department, McNutt said.
Under the McNutt reorganiza-
ton plan, Mayr will have no patron
age and will be in charge only Of
election routine and of state print
ing. He can name a single assist
ant.
The state police and criminal bu-
reau already have been taken from
nm and placed in the department
Of safety under McNutt.
Carpenter was a leader in the
fight on R. Earl Peters, Democratic
state chairman. BY poor tactics the
fight on Peters was expanded to in
clude McNutt, and Mayr and his
chieftains are paying the penalty.

ocratic weekly paper at Martinsville
McNutt's home town He was eau
Gus chairman and assistant floor
leader in the house during the as.
sembly session. He was faithful tt
all McNutt measures and fought fol

Contract Bridge

but do not believe that they could
make four hearts. With the bid
ding, you also feel that your side
can not make three spades.
In rubber bridge you would not
hesitate to bid three spades and
go down one trick, which would
leave you minus 100, rather than
allow your opponents to make a
partial score.
In duplicate bridge in the past
you could not use this type of bid
ding. You would have to pass and
allow your opponents to make their
three hearts unconteSted, because if
you bid three spades and went
down one trick you would be minus
100 points on the board, While if
you allowed your opponents to
make their three hearts, they
would only be plus go.
Believing that duplicate bridge
should more closely conform to rub
Der play, the lawmakers decided to
give a premium of so points for
these partial scores. Let me show
you how it works.
=
CUPPOSING that your side bids
~ and makes one heart. You will
receive 80 points for the one heart
bid, and so points for making your
contract.
If you had bid one heart and
made four, you still receive the
less game bonus, making 80
points for the one trick bid, 30
points each for the extra tricks, and
so points for making a less-than-
game contract-170 in all.
While you have made enough
tricks to go game. remember that
your contract was only one heart.
Surprising you bid two hearts
and the opponents double and you
make the two hearts. This IS d
game-going contract.
In other words, if you make your
contract, you receive 40 points for
the tricks bid and made, and you
would not be entitled to the less
than-game contract premium. but
instead would receive the game pre-
MUM.
Remember that this new 50-point
less han-game premium applies
only to duplicate bridge and to
party bridge It must not be used
in rubber play.
