.cretarY American Bridge League


While in Albany, N. Y, recently
arranging for the northeastern New
York championship bridge tourna-
ment of the American Bridge
League, I found in the following
hand in a rubber game an interest
ing point.
Giving your oponents a chance
to make a mistake will win you al
most as many games as the cards
themselves.
South, the dealer, has two major
suits. However, the heart suit is
five cards in length and should be
bid first. The opening bid should
be one heart.
West is not quite strong enough
to make a sound Overcall, and
should pass North's proper bid is
two hearts. He holds two double
tons, normal trump support and a
fiVe-card suit.
East overcalls with two spades
South debates whether to double
two spades or to proceed with hearts
and finally decides to bid for game
at hearts, so the final contract be-
came four hearts.
THE PLAY
West opened the queen of spades
the top of his partners suit. The
three was played from dummy and
East played the seven, his lowest
spade

GIVE YOUR ( 8
STOMACH IS
ONE HOURS HELP

That lump" you feel an hour or
so after eating, is a symptom of
SIoW stomach. This very common
condition can be remedied.
Instead of taking soda, or any,
thing else you must take the rest
of your life, try some diapepsin.
Each tablet saves half an hours
digestion time. If your stomach is
one hour slow in emptying, just
take two tablets of diapepsin and
all that gas, sourness, and distress
after meals will be gone.

cred an encouraging card and asks
the original leader to read this as
the lowest card he has.
Declarer decided that the best
possible way to gain the extra trick
was to drop the six of spades on
the first trick, concealing the deuce,
and in this way try to entice West
to continue the spades.
Jack Wins
While some players might think
to shift to a diamond, West can
not be blamed for continuing with
the five of spades. This the declarer
wins with the jack, and now takes
two rounds of trump, picking up the
outstanding trump.
He next plays his ace of spades,
discarding the three of diamonds
from dummy. A small spade is
then trumped in dummy with the
ten Of hearts.
The deuce of clubs is returned
from dummy, declarer plays his
king, and West wins the trick with
the ace.
He now leads a diamond, and
though East wins the trick with the
ace, declarer can lose no further
tricks, as he has a good heart in
dummy with which to trump a dia-
mond, if West now were to continue
with diamonds.
Of course, if East returns a club,
declarer will discard his two dia-
monds on the two good clubs.
This play of refusing to win the
first trick when holding ace-jack
is termed a Bath coup and often
presents itself at the bridge table.

will test your stomach and correct
your digestion time. Then eat any
thing you like, and it will digest
like crackers and milkl Keep on
with diapepsin a few days, until
the stomach is doing its work with
out need of help. When it slows
down, take diapepsin again; it's
good for the digestive system and
can't hurt you.

your stomach trouble and Is
certainly worth tryingl

Should the declarer win this first
trick with the ace? Before playing
to the trick, let us count up the
losing cards. Declarer has two Dos

trick needed for game?

SMITH MAKESPLEA
FOR j. S. SHIPPING
New Yorker Says Americans
Spend Too Much on For
eign Lines.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May z3-AmericaI
patronage of American shipping was
urged last night by Alfred E. Smith
in an address in observance of Mari
time day.
AS result of the Jones-White act
of 1928, said the former Democratic
presidential nominee, I'VE have put the
main trade routes and created reser-
voir of men and ships available for
national emergency"
In addition to the construction oi
AZ modern ocean-going vessels, he said
a national system of airways connect
ing this country with 80 nations has
been established.
Too Few Support Lines.
Urging support of the country's ship
ping, Mr. Smith said:
In the North Atlantic trade, which
is the most active in the world, of the
20 or 25 per cent of the passengers who
are foreigners, the proportion selecting
American steamers is almost negligible
while of the remaining rs or 80 per
cent who are Americans, more than
half use foreign vessels. In short, the
CeTuldIl, fTellC1 anu bIlILSIl SledIIleIS
are invariably selected by their citizens
yet Americans are the chief support OF
their foreign owned lines to the neglect
of their own. The results of this
neglect are not often felt at once, but
in the long run they will rise up as a
damper on export trade and an actual
threat to security in case of war or
other national emergency.
Bulk Spent Abroad.
1--WE have a half billion dollar annual
bill for marine freight and passenger
service which the American public
pays. OF this amount, fully two-thirds
goes to foreign shipping and the bulk
of this share, estimated at IS per cent
is not spent in this country. In other
words, upward of 60 per cent Of the
amount we pay for shipping service
in the international trade leaves our
country and is spent abroad. Add this
sum to our national income, and thou
sands of Americans could be put to
work"

NEW YORK, May 23.--The closing
session of the New York East Confer
ence of the M. E. Church was en-
livened yesterday with debate on a
resolution calling for Government con-
troll and operation of industry.
Rev. Paul Du Bois of Bristol, Conn,
chairman of the Committee on Social
Service, presented the resolution, which
urged that "the people of the United
States, through their elected repre-
sentatives, take over all key industries
such as banks, railroads, mills and
public utilitiesvto control and operate
them not for the benefit of a select
few, as at present. but for the benefit
Of al! the people, in their dual capacity
as consumers and producers"
After opposition resulted, the resolu-
sion was returned for reconsideration
to the committee.
Rev. Arthur Workman of Sea Cliff,
N. Y, charged that such control lis
Russia Sovietism."
Bishop Francis J. Mcconnell of New
York had difficulty preserving order
during the debate.
The conference adopted the report
of the Committee on International Re-
lations, which condemned isolationism,
economic nationalism, the "buy Amer
ican" and buy British" campaigns,
Japanese militarism and traffic in arms
and munitions. This report advised
American entrance into the World
Court and urged world cooperation
for economic recovery.

WORK SUSPENDED
ON DAM AT SHOALS
Small Project Begun Under
Hoover Regime Held Too
Little to Be Useful.

BY the Associated Press.
Work has been halted at the order of
the White House on the construction of
dam at the Governments Muscle
Shoals property, for which the Hoover
administration contracted in its closing
days.
Action was taken on the basis of re-
ports received from Louis CLAWS, chief
ofthe Interior Departments Investiga-
ton Bureau, who made personal sur
vey of the Alabama project for the ad-
ministration.
Held Too Small.
The dam involved was intended to
supplement the power potentialities of
the huge Wilson Dam. Construction of
such dam, to be known as dam-No.
3. Is authorized in the new Muscle
Shoals law.
CLAWS reported that the work being
done was on dam many feet lower
than specifications providing the maxi
mum of benefit. He advised his chief,
Secretary Ickes, that contractors were
nearly ready to pour cement in the
lower dam and that its completion on
the smaller scale would hamper the full
est development of the shoals project.
Ickes took the matter up with the
President and Mr.. Roosevelt ordered the
Army engineers to halt work on the dam
Immediately.
Investigation Ponds.
As result of this order, further con-
struction work at the $I50,000, 900
Muscle Shoals property will be delayed
until the new Government corporation,
the Tennessee Valley Authority, is ready
to 60 ahead under the provisions of the
Norris-Hil Tennessee Valley law.
The construction of the proposed dam,
now halted, is one Of the subjects to be
investigated by the Justice Department.

HOWARD WARNS AGAINST
MUSIC AS, PROFESSION

MINNEAPOLIS, May 23-A note Of
warning was sounded today by John
Tasker Howard for those who would
take up music professionally as voca-
ton.
This dapper little man, as alert as
the graceful notes he pens and plays In
musical scores as critic and composer,
suggests rather that fond parents, be-
lieving they have a musical genius in
their offspring, direct them instead to
taking up music as an avocation.
II would never urge any one to make
music their profession unless they had
ability so clearly marked that there was
no question" observed Mr.. Howard dur
ing hull in proceedings of the biennial
convention of the National Federation
of Music Clubs.
"Why, they would be liable to starve
and I'd have that on my conscience"

SCHOONER EN- ROUTE
TO VISIT WORLD FAIR
Queen of North Atlantic Fishing
Boats Reaches Toronto on
Way to Chicago.

TORONTO, May 23.-Amid scat
tered fiotilla of screeching tugs and
chugging motor boats, the schooner
Bluenose, queen of the North Atlantic
fishing banks, was brought into Toronto
Harbor last evening en- route to the
Worlds Fair at Chicago.
Towed from Kingston, the big
schooner was lashed to little tug and
brought into her berth after Capt. An
gus Walters and his crew had en-
deavored to give the waiting crowds a
chance to see her unfurled sails. There
was only light breeze and the schooner
was taken in tow again and brought to
the harbor front, where a reception
committee, headed by Mayor William j.
Stewart, waited.
The captain, despite the discouraging
sailing weather, was optimistic about
his trip to Chicago, where, he said, the
boat might be left until next Spring.
No definite plans have yet been made,
Capt. Walters said, and he could not
say how long he would remain in To-
ronto.
He spoke lightly of two incidents
which occurred while the Bluenose was
on her way to Kingston. Once she
scraped bottom and while in tow of the
tug Grenville the line broke and the
banker drifted around for an hour or
so until her line was again made fast
