ROAD BOSTON
TO WASHINGTON
Group of Executive Engin-
eers Begin Tour of Study of
Proposed Speed Highway
STATE is REPRESENTED

A group Of executive engineers
representing eight Atlantic sea-
board states started Monday on a
four-day inspection trip of traffic
conditions between Boston and
Washington, as preliminary step
in proposing a special NRA pro-
ject, a high-speed superhighway
between the Massachusetts capital
and the national capital. First an
nouncement that such project
would be proposed was made last
week by A. Lee Grover, secretary
of the Association of Highway Of
ficials of North Atlantic States,
which has formally endorsed the
plan. Although all of the special
appropriation of 100000 for high
ways made available by the Ma
tional Trade Recovery Act has
been allocated to the several
States. Mr.. Grover however, is
quoted from a recent official ruling
that "this does not preclude con-
sideration of additional highways"
If the project is approved there
would be four-lane highway be-
tween the two cities, mainly fol
lowing present U. S. Route No. 1,
with elimination of all traffic haz-
ards such as grade crossings, bot
tie necks and inadequate bridges.
The plan calls for by-passes
around all metropolitan and con-
gested areas. The route would
cross Delaware from point near
Naaman's and join up with the
Glasgow -Elkton Road near Bear
Station, distance of Is miles. The
speed highway" is to be four
lanes wide if approved. Mr. Rein
dollar, who is chairman of the as
sociation's special committee ap-
pointed to report on the project,
has discussed it with the Federal
Emergency Public Works Admin
istration and has received assur-
ance that it is the type of improve
ment that will receive considera-
ton. The engineers who will make
the inspection trip represent the
eight states that would be travers-
ed by the proposed super-highway.
Delaware is represented on this
Traffic Inspection Committee by
w. w. Mack, chief engineer of the
State Highway Department.

Easy to Draw Applause
From Nero's Listeners

The expression, go Hire a Hall"
apparently had it's beginning in an
cient Rome at the time of Nero, ac-
cording to the research staff of one
of the leading moving picture pro-
ducers, who explored ancient history
in preparation for the filming Of 'The
S,gr of the Cross"
Nero was extraordinarily proud of
his musical accomplishments, which
really were very ordinary, and often
hired hall and invited his friends
to come and listen to him perform.
If they didn't come they received a
polite note asking them to commit
suicide the next day. If they did
come he locked the doors upon them.
Then he would play and sing for
hours, happy in the steady applause
and the shouts of approval which
were wrung from his listeners. On
one occasion it is reported that q
member Of the audience was so des-
perately bored that he jumped
through window and broke his

liness toward them; there was much
to be learned from them, and their
friendship was worth more than their
enmity, in any case.
After, observing their mode Of living,
the chief evidently concluded that his
position in the tribe necessitated a
certain adoption of civilized ways. Ac-
cordingly, he had a carriage, in which
he Travelled in state, and lived like a
white man, in good house, with ia
bles, beds and cooking utensils. He
had large easy chair for himself, and
when an honored guest was at his
home, he brought out wine (though he
did not drink) and cigars.
Chipeta, his wife, was great aid to
him in keeping up this state Of things.
She was as remarkable in her way as
he was in his; adaptable, Industrious,
good manager, and, some say, even
more intelligent than her famous
spouse. Many an old-timer has ex-
pressed his admiration of the excellent
Ute woman, and averred that it was
really she who ruled, and that an ap-
peal to her often won an otherwise
lost cause.
Discipline, also, was an indication
of Ouray's rank, which he did not neg
lect. When he retired from the active
life of raider, his warlike spirit re-
manned with him, although he was not
tyrannical. AS chief, it behooved him
to be just and firm, and disobedience
to his orders might mean death.
The Utes, however, were rebelli
GUS and high-tempered people. They
obeyed him fairly we'll, but an occa-
sion came when he was powerless to
control them. This was the "Meeker
massacre" in which the Utes burst all
bonds Of discipline, and their chief was
powerless against them until their fury
had subsidized.
For his efforts to keep peace at this
serious time, Ouray was given an an.
nuity of $1,000, so that when he died,
at the age of sixty, he was perhaps
the richest Indian in America.
Every year, on the Oath Of May,
there is gathering of Utes at Ignacio
From their homes in Utah and Colora-
do they come all who are able Ouray
has gone to the spirit land; he is no
longer there to counsel and command
them, but no year passes that they

OURAY

The little Ute camp at the head of
Republican river was in turmoil. Ev.
eryone was excited-everyone was
hunting, high and low, for little boy
of some three or four years.
His father had been out hunting buff
falo when the Cheyennes raided the
camp. He looked grimly at the bodies
of his people, and thought that had he
been with them, they might still live.
He, Ouray, the warrior who had killed
many Sioux, would have killed the
Cheyenne also.
Then, as the hustle died down. and
the mourning Utes gathered for coun-
Gil, it was noticed that several of them
were missing. This explained the alb.
sence of Ouray's child; the Cheyennes
had taken prisoners.
Years passed. Ouray enlisted the
Indian bureau to help him find this
beloved only child, and had patiently
followed every clew with nothing but
disappointment at the end. Now
new hope had risen: in Indian terri
tory was lad who might prove to be
his stolen son.
Ouray Travelled the long distance,
hoping and praying that he might find
his child. But certain mark, which
had been on his sons body, was alb
sent from this lad, and the journey
had been in vain. Ouray never men
toned his loss again.
Ouray was one of the most famous
Of western chiefs, and justly so. Born
in 1920, when the Ute country was still
wild and Ute life primitive, he grew up,
amid wars with plains tribes, and be-
came spectacular and daring fighter.
But the life of a warrior, while it de-
veloped in him leadership and love
for discipline, was not enough for a.
man Of his mental energy and adapta-
bility. AS the white men increased in
the West, he saw the need Of friend.

WHEN VULNERABLE

To illustrate how these odds work
out, let us assume that player not
vulnerable has bid six hearts and
been doubled by the opponents. IF he
fails to make his contract by one
trick he would pay penalty of 100
points. Had he redoubled his penalty
would have been increased only by 100
additional points. Now, assuming that
the declaration was successful, dou-
bled and redoubled, the winning play
er would score 72O below the line and
100 above for his successful contract.
In short, the redouble would have in
creased his score by 40 points. Sup
on the failure or success Of one f.
nesse or one drop, the odds favor
ing success in a redouble are Al
against 1.
Should the bidding indicate, how
ever, that there might be a wide
swing, either above or below contract,
it should be borne in mind that the
bonus for over tricks is generally
only one-half as great as the penalty
for additional under tricks. Therefore,
if the information has not been more
or less exact, it would tend to di-
minish the advantage Of a redoubie
Slams
When contract was a very young
game, players new to it's strategy and
somewhat overawed by the unheard-of
necessity Of having to bid for con-
tract to score it, grasped at every
straw that might help them in the
novel and hazardous enterprise of
bidding for slam. ISLAM cues" Of
every sort and description were in
vented. Spectacular methods some of
these were, by which slams could be
arrived at only after an intricate and
horribly confusing series Of bids,
which purported to show the location
of all the aces and Tin some sys-
tems) even kings.
Fortunately, for the good of the
game of contract, it was not long
before more thoughtful types Of play
ers came to recognize the inherent
weaknesses of this supposedly tech
meal ISLAM bidding" 1t soon be-
came apparent that by the time part
ners succeeded in locating all the aces
in the pack, they had usually managed
to push each other up to slam bid
which failed because Of the lack of
additional honor-cards and distribu-
tional values to back up their aces.
Modern contract has discarded all
the outworn methods Of ISLAM bid
ding" and recognized the fact that
the only way to arrive at sound
slam contract is just as one arrives
at a sound game contract-by part
nership information, trick valuation
and deduction.
A few basic rules which must al
ways be adhered to for successful
slam bidding are
From your first declaration to your
last, concentrate on showing depend
able honor trick values.
Be sure that every bid you make
has some sound reason for it's exist
ence.
Never give.a direct inference for a
slam unless you have some slight
doubt as to it's favorable outcome
and wish to invite your partners CO.
operation in deciding the matter; be-
cause the most important rule of all
is this: When you are sure of a slam,
bid it, do not ask your partner to bid
it for you.

Modern Contract

Rebuilding

| MAYHEM an opponent has doubled
w your bid or your partners, it is
never advisable to change the declar-
alton unless really advantageous
switch can be made. If your partner
is sound bidder, do not worry about
flying to his rescue. More than likely
he has no desire to be rescued. He
might even be prepared to redouble,
in which case he would most bitterly
resent your needless attempt to ''save'
him.
Many players are entirely unaware
Of the highly advantageous odds in
favor of redouble at contract. These
favorable odds are produced by the
huge increase of trick values in
successful doubled and redoubled con-
tract.
The following table is computed on
the assumption that the declarer will
never fail to make his contract by
more than one trick. This assumption
may be considered arbitrary, but be-
tween partners who thoroughly under
stand each others bidding only an
abnormal distribution should result
in the loss of more than one trick
when one or the other has redou-
bled.

LET'S BE SMART

1t is smart" now to be legal, is the
way a San Diego county official express
es the attitude that should be adopted by
individual citizens if bootleggers and
speakeasies are to be eliminated under
that phase of the new DEAL which has
brought back liquor.
In enlisting the aid of citizens in stamp
ing out the bootlegger and the speakeasy,
the official points out that the man who
patronizes either is really injuring HIM
self from financial standpoint.
Liquor is taxed directly by the feder-
al government and indirectly by state,
county and municipal governments.
Such taxes go to relieve the general tax
burden. The bootlegger and the speak
easy proprietor, on the other hand, dodge
these taxes, so that when the individual
citizen patronizes them he adds to his
general tax bill and runs the risk of get
ting inferior, even poisonous, liquor.
Adults are nothing more than grown
up children Just as children like to do
that which is forbidden, so does the adult
and it was this quirk in the adult mental
makeup which gave touch of spice to
violating the liquor laws during the era
of prohibition.
With liquor made as available as on
ions or bread, there is no kick lett IN
