CONTRACT Ml[,![ll| 8
 '"V EXpEQTS PLAY IT <2E

I have recently written to a number of the country's leading contract players asking them for an interesting hand, so I want to give you today the hand which was sent to me by Robert W. Halpin of Chicago, a past-president or the American Bridge league.
 MT Halpin was captain or the team which represented the Auc- ton Bridge club of Chicago. which club presented the trophy for na- tional open contract teams-of-four. MT Halpin and his teammates pro- ceeded to win this trophy the first year it was put into play-1929. MT Halpin says that the mistake made by a great many contract players is in not providing for a bad trump distribution. In the fol- lowing hand the careless declarer would try to make the hand by simply setting up the club suit by ruffing one club-and then would complain because of a bad break.
 The Bidding
 South bid one club, West passed and North made one over one force of one spade. East passed and South went to two clubs. North then bid two diamonds, South bid two hearts. and North Jumped to six hearts.
 r The Play
 Vests opening lead was the ten of diamonds, the queen was played from dummy and when East played the ace, South was forced to ruff with the seven of hearts.
 MT sHalpin, figuring that he might get bad split in trump now led the three of spades and took the finesse. East winning with the king. East returned the sever of spades which MT Halpin wor in dummy with the ace.

OLD GOLD MINES.
BEING WORKED
IN CALIFORNIA

OAKLAND, Calf, July 10 Il.
N.SO.-Scenes reminiscent of the
early history of California are
being reenacted daily in the
Sierra foothills due to revival Of
interest in the California gold
mining industry.
Falling off in other lines of
business first stimulated gold
seeking activity, but an added in
centive to hunt for gold was pro-
vided when the United States
went off the gold standard.
In the past year approximately
TOO mining properties have be-
come active in California. Many
of these are old properties re-
vived. The figures are from the
office of the State mineralogist.
New Era Under Way
Virtually every mining district
in the State is being benefited
by the new era of gold mining
activity. During the last II
months between 1000 and 5000
workers have been added to Cal
ifornia mining payrolls and about
$3,500,00O has gone into new plant
equipment.
From California's producing
companies about $1,700,000 in gold
went to the San Francisco mint
in 1892 and it is expected that
this figure will be exceeded by a
large margin this year. Mining
engineers believe that the States
annual output of gold can be in
creased to $4O,000,000, if mining
is encouraged.
In the Grass Valley-Nevada
City district payrolls have been
increased about $4,000 a month
in the last three months. Three
months ago the monthly payrolls
were estimated at $164,000. To-
day they are estimated to be
5000. 600 and still growing.
Fining Claims Many
Since the first of the year 56
locations for mining claims have
been filed in Nevada county alone.
In Tuolumne county more than
so important mining operations
are under way-operations that
employ from five to Is men each.
About 40 of these properties ac-
tually are in production.
The mining fever also is stirring
up interest in Mariposa county.
The Fremont grant, of $4,000
acres, shut down for many years
because OF litigation, has been
reopened. This grant contains
many mines that were good pro-
ducers before it was shut down,

REPEAL IS MADE
PARTY ISSUE
IN SOUTH
BY International News Service

BY International News Service
The campaign for repeal of the
Eighteenth Amendment today as
sumed the proportions Of an Ad-
ministration drive to whip the
Democratic South into line against
prohibition.
The Administrators influence
became a decisive factor after
President Roosevelt publicly ap-
pealed to the South to support his
party's platform declaration for
repeal.
It put his stamp of approval on
the repeal efforts of Postmaster
General James A. Farley, who has
been urging Democratic leaders to
fight for repeal in every State.
VETS Joyful
The Presidents personal appeal
was addressed particularly to
Democrats of Alabama, Arkansas
and Tennessee, which will vote
next week on ratification of the
repeal amendment.
The vets were jubilant, believ-
ing the Presidents influence would
swing all three States into the
repeal camp and sound a death
knell to national prohibition be-
fore Christmas.
Alabama and Arkansas have
been regarded as key States in
the repeal campaign. Both vets
and drys have concentrated on
winning these States, since they
are the first in the reputed "sold
South" to vote on the issue.
If they vote for repeal, the re-
pealists predict prohibition will be
taken out of the Constitution be-
fore Christmas. If they remain
dry, the drys predict the repeal
campaign will be defeated.
Party Issue in South
The Presidents attitude has
made repeal a party issue in the
South. He called attention of
Democrats to the party plank
pledging repeal.
Postmaster General Farley will
make speech in Memphis next
Saturday, urging Democrats in the
South to support the party plat
form.
His speech will be broadcast
throughout Alabama, Arkansas
and Tennessee. The latter State
will vote July 20, two days after
the balloting in Alabama and
Arkansas.

NURSE To PAY.
. CARFRE|GHT

Lieut.. Eleanor E. O'Neil, of the
Army Nursing Corps, owes Uncle
Sam $116.64 for transportation of
her automobile from Fort Ben
nings, Ga. to New York, en- route
to Honolulu, according to a de-
cision by Comptroller General
j. r. McCarl.
Although $4,000 is appropriated
to transport belongings of Army
officers to points outside the
limits of the continental United
States, this charge was for trans
portation within the limits of the
United States, and consequently
Lieutenant O'Neill must pay.
The automobile was carried to
Honolulu on an Army transport,
but Uncle Sam had to pay for
hauling it to New York. .

'"Yes, Max, there is. Let me
see. You've been with me
now about five years-and all
you know about me is the fact
that I pay you your salary for
managing my little gambling
room. Is that correct?"
The manager shook his head.
mot quite, boss" he replied.
"I know more than that. I
know that you're square and
decent and honest, and that
you're the best boss I've ever
worked for"
Good of you to say that,
Max. Swell. Especially in
view of the fact that l have
paid you your last salary. 1

always will be.

I was As, I was the proud pos
SCISSOR of some $4,000 in cash.
I hadn't found any of this
money and I certainly hadn't
inherited it. AS a matter Of
fact, I had worked doggone
hard to earn it. But the game
was worth the candle. The

establishment, motioned to his
manager.

Swift nodded,

some sort going on. You can
imagine what that meant to a
chump like me. =,
We'll, it was the old, old
story. It wasn't long before
I was playing the wheel my
self for small sums. I won
steadily. But when my bets
grew larger, I began to lose.
Then I plunged. And inside OF
two weeks-aside from a few
hundred dollars-I was broke.
MY two friends of course,
disappeared as soon as told
them all my money was gone.
But l wasn't suspicious. I
was chump enough to believe
that I had simply been un-
lucky, and that my friends
had merely gone away for a
short vacation.
"I didn't know I had been
cheated until an old pal OF
mine examined the roulette
wheel a few days later. And
he told me then that, even
though the wheel was crooked,
the crooks could have taken
me over without going to that
trouble. The wheel, he ex-
planned patiently to me, al
ways gives the banker 7 per
cent the best of it. And all
they had to do was to chiSel
along and take Z per cent OF
my big bets until I was broke.
What To Do?
Well, what could I do? I
couldn't call the police because
was probably just as guilty as
the others. So I began to figure
things out.
why not get a roulette wheel
Of my own? That z per cent
angle sounded like a good busi-
ness proposition. In fact, I
knew of nothing better. I was
fortunate enough to be able to
borrow enough money to open q
little place of my own, and it
wasn't long before I was making
money. No fortunes, of course,
but enough to keep going.
within five years, I was
making enough to hire a man
ager. You came along-and you
brought me luck by the carload.
I have plenty of dough now:
enough to last me in comfort
until I die. And all because I
was such a chump in the first
place.
"And that's all there is to it,
Max. You've worked hard, and
I appreciate it. So the place is
yours from top to bottom, and
I wish you all the luck in the
world"
Max said he understood. He
thanked Swift in a thousand
different directions. But he was
vehement in his denial Of one
statement that Swift had made.
you're not a chump, boss"
he cried. you've got to stop
saying that. No chump could
make the money you've made"
"Old Man" Swift leaned back
in his chair. He smiled softly.
That's where you're wrong,
Max" he murmured, And see
that I'll have to prove it to you.
THAT wheel inside is the
same one that cost me all my
money 10 years ago. And,
chump that / am, I've never
been able to get it to run hon.
