HOWEVER. at several tables the
L l. North player went to six spades,
but only one made the contract. Six
clubs, of course, easily is made, as
one heart from dummy is discarded
on declarer's spade and losing
heart ruffed. Six spades is made
in the following manner:
West opens the queen of dia-
monds, which is won in dummy with
the act, and the jack of spades is
led, West winning with the king of
spades and returning the jack of
diamonds. The trick is won with
king in dummy, the four of hearts
being discarded by declarer.
The six of diamonds then is
ruffed by declarer and now three
rounds of spades are taken, West
following with one spade and dis
carding two hearts.
A heart is discarded from dummy.
What East diScards is immaterial.
West is marked with the ten of
diamonds by the play of the queen
and jack, and of course his bidding
marks him with the king of hearts.
The declarer now cashes his ace,
king and jack of clubs, West dis
carding a heart.
The seven of clubs is led and
West is squeezed. If he discards the
ten Of diamonds, it makes dummy S
nine good, while if he drops the
jack of hearts the declarer will win
the last two tricks with the ace and
queen Of hearts.

BETTER TIMES
REACH STATE,
LUDLOW FINDS
Congressman Voices View
After Ten-Day Tour
Covering Indiana.

Prosperity is gradually but surely
returning to Indiana, said Repre-
sentative Louis Ludlow on his re-
turn to Indianapolis from ten-day
survey of economic conditions
throughout the state.
Mr.. Ludlow cited impressive gains
made at number of cities, includ-
ing Kokonno, South Bend, Laporte
and others.
The tour was quite a surprise
and contrast to gloomy outlook 1
encountered on former visits" he
said. Not only are conditions &C
tually better, but the people are
getting out of the depression frame
of mind and are becoming buoyant
and hopeful.
THE united support the President
is receiving from men and women
of all political parties is q splendid
lesson in patriotism. When 1 re-
turn to Washington I shall report
to President Roosevelt that Indiana
is on the way to better times.
THE improvement is slow and
gradual and I would not have 1t
otherwise, for the reason that any
thing like an artificial boom would
be likely to collapse"
Later, Mr.. Ludlow left for Wash
ington to attend a meeting of the
house appropriations subcommittee,
of which he is a member.

clubs, but after he has bid five and
South has gone to five spades,
showing a f1ve-four distribution
1 believe North should carry the
contract to six clubs, since he can
see that the long spades will be
valuable for discards.

Solution TO PreUiOus
Contract Problem
BY w. E. M'KENNEY
Secretary American Bridge League


TT is very important, when you
l. hold a four and a five-card suit
to convey that information to your
partner, SO that if, later in the bid
ding, he is forced to select the suit
to play for a slam, he can make the
proper choice.
Always remember, when you hold
a four-card suit and your partner
has four of that suit, that unless
that suit is dropped, it will take
only its own high card tricks, while
a five-three suit quite often can be
established for valuable discards. -
West, not vulnerable, is justified
in overcalling the original spade bid
with two hearts. I believe South'S
jump to four clubs to be entirely too
optimistic.
A bid of three clubs over two
hearts would be practically forcing,
as it is showing two suits when vul-
nerable.
After the jump to four clubs,
North properly should jump to six

MASSACHUSETTS,
Il FOR SABOTAGE
Harvest Thwarthed by Ma
chinery in One Section by
Acts of Neglect.

MOSCOW (R.-The sequel to an in
cident that caused serious loss to q
small and remote section of Soviet
agriculture has been written here with
the trial of IL officials connected with
the manufacture and distribution OF
farming machinery. They were charged
with sending to the provinces combines
from which various essential mecham-
cal parts were missing.
All received extremely mild sentences
considering that their offenses were re-
garded as sabotage" and as such
crimes against the state, and that they
were prosecuted in the Supreme Court
of the U. S. S. r. by no less per-
sonage than Audrey Vishinsky. who
prosecuted the celebrated Metro Wick
ers case.
Machinery Is Crippled.
Great CONSERVATION was caused in
the Western Siberia wheat belt when
300 large reaper combines, badly needed
for the harvest, arrived from the manu-
featuring plant minus carburetors,
magnetors or other parts necessary for
the motors. Because no mechanical re-
placements were available in that re-
gion, and there was not time to receive
the necessary parts by shipment, the
harvest in some sections had to be done
by hand.
The ensuing investigation resulted in
the arrest Of the IL defendants.
All pleaded guilty to endangering
the harvest by their neglect. One said
his men were in such hurry to ship
the combines that they forgot to send
them mechanically complete, another
that he was too busy" to think about
parts and accessories. and another that
he was afraid to send such detach-
able parts with the combines on an
open railroad car.
Highest Sentence Year.
q. Moiev, director. and B. Rettel,
inspector, Of the Union Trust, drew the
highest punishment, one year each Of
enforced labor" which means that
they must continue at their present
posts for that time at half pay: four
others got three to six months enforced
labor and the others were let of with
warnings.

DECLINE CONTINUES
IN SHIPPING TRADE
Lines Have Felt No Recovery I'm
petus and Another Bad Year
Is Indicated.

NEW YORK, SEPTEMBER 14.-The i'm
provement noted in recent months in
the condition of an economically sick
world has brought little business to
steamship lines.
The improvement has given shipping
company officials little to cheer about
as they scan reports showing freight
traffic running substantially below the
level of year ago and fewer folks
travelling.
The firm hand of the Federal Gov
eminent which on June /, assumed
control OF intercoastal shipping follow
ing passage of law by Congress, has
frightened the outlook in that quarter,
ending as it did the costly rate wars
that left blight on the shipping busi-
ness. New vessels have been put in
service on several coastal and inter-
coastal lines this year in an effort to
improve service.
Another year Of large losses by trans
atlantic shipping companies is believed
inevitable. Attractive rates for week
end and other short cruises during the
Summer helped some, but this added
little to the net operating revenues.
The bright spot in the industry Is the
section serving Great Lakes, domestic
coastal and contiguous Islands. These
have felt the stimulating effect of gen.
eral business recovery.
The tat, tat, tat Of riveting machines
that is music in the ears of shipbuilding
centers will be heard in increasing
volume as result of the naval con-
tracts that have been awarded by the
Federal Government 1t has assured
principal Atlantic shipyards Of fair
level of activity and profits FOR at least
the next three years.
