South won with the ace, and be-
fore entering dummy to run off
the clubs he laid down the ace of
diamonds, preparing for Vienna
coup. He now led a small spade
to dummy's queen, and being for
tunate enough to drop the jack of
clubs, he ran off six club tricks.
South discarded his three re-
naming diamonds and three small
hearts. West followed to four club
leads, and then discarded the jack
of diamonds, but his next discard
was very embarrassing.
He dared not give up the king
of diamonds which South had SO
kindly established for him, and to
discard either spade or heart
might give the declarer his much
needed thirteenth trick.
He finally discarded the jack of
hearts, in the faint hope that his
partner might have the ten of that
suit.
The declarer led the last club
from dummy, both he and West
discarding a spade. He next led
the queen of hearts, going right up
with the ace, for the king was we'll
marked in the West hand.
To make this grand clam re-
quired a fortunate opening lead, an
error in defense, an almost miracu-
lous distribution of the outstanding
cards, and brilliant Vienna coup.
Yet no one will ever convince this
declarer that the bid was not sound.

NO SMOKING, NO
GOSSIP, ORDER
TO STATE COPS
Rules Also Provide Against
Keeping Company With
Shady Characters.

That old gag about man lifting
an apple from a curb cart and be-
ing arrested for impersonating an
officer will be entirely obslete, and
not even funny If the state police
follow all rules laid down for them
The rules we're drafted by Al
Feeney, superintendent of the safe
ty department, and Captain Matt
Leach Of the state police.
Under them an officer can not
take cigar while on duty. Not
only that, but if he had a cigar that
he bought himself he couldn't smoke
IL while on duty in uniform.
Drinking, Of course, is beyond the
pale, and even gossip is forbidden
State police must not only be nice
boys themselves but obey rule seven
which reads:
Members are prohibited from
keepln company with persons OF
questionable character"
No Drinking on Duty
Here are some of the others:
No member, while on duty, shall
drink any kind of Intoxicating liz
uors, and is prohibited, at any time,
from entering disorderly places eX-
cept in the performance of duty
and shall report the same in writ
ing to his superior officer.
Members are forbidden, while
making raids, to confiscate any ar
ticle except for the purpose of evil
dence, and then it must be marked
as such and turned over to the Off
Ger in charge.
Members are prohibited from
seeking free admission for them
selves or others to theaters or other
places of amusement.
Members will not borrow money
from, or otherwise become indebted
or obligated to any person whose
business is subject to regulation by
the department"
When new guns we're issued to
the officers they were instructed
not to shoot anybody. Here are the
Fules covering that point.
Use Care on Firearms
Firearms must not be used ex-
eept in extreme cases when they
may be used in defense or in
the defense of others, but not to
protect oneself from assaults that
are not likely to have serious results.
The revolver must not be used
against those who are running away
to escape arrest, except in extreme
eases where an officer actually sees
a person commit crime such as
murder, rape, burglary, or the like
Military courtesy is to prevail with
salutes for superior officers and the
flag. Citizens are to be treated as
though the policeman was their
public servant and not the citizen
the policemans slave, Feeney en-
phasized.
Rule twenty-four says:
Members will give their names
and badge numbers in a respectable
manner to any person who may in
quire for same"

CONT RACI
DD"1T
BRIDGE
BY w. e. M'KENNEY

Secretary American Bridge League
GONE players believe that the
~ high grand slam premium gives
an unfair advantage to fortunate
card holders.
In some cases it does seem like
heaoing insult upon injury for the
unfortunate opponents, when in ad-
dition to holding no cards at all,
they are charged with a premium
of $3.50 points.
However, the high premium has
brought a new type of grand slam
into existence. Formerly, this bid
was made only when success prac-
tically was certain, but now many
players try for it on any hand
which offers a reasonable chance.
There is no greater thrill in the
game than making speculative
grand slam. Like hole-in-one
in golf, it leaves an indelible mem
DRY long after the unsuccessful tries
are forgotten.
Today's hand is good example
Of the bidding tactics some play
ers employ in search of the elu-
sive grand slam. 1t occurred in
a rubber game with North and
South vulnerable.
South opened with one heart,
and North overcalled with three
clubs.
The bidding then proceeded as
follows: South, three diamonds;
North, four clubs; South, four
spades; North, five spades; South,
five no trump; North, six clubs;
South, six no trump; North, seven
no trump.
West doubled, feeling certain that
one Of his kings behind the no
trump bidder would surely make.
Before we criticize the bidding
the weight of evidence is against
us. When a man takes a long
chance and wins, who can say he
is wrong?
INVEST opened small spade, on
w which dummy played the
jack. East foolishly went up with
the king, and thereby gave the de-
clarer a chance to make a brilliant
play.

ROUGE AID TO SCIENCE
Makes Possible Precision Polish
Attained by Eyeglasses.

ROCHESTER, N. Y. May s.
While rouge may give the women
that "girlish complexion" to OPP
tical science it plays less decora-
tive, but more utilitarian role, for
it is this common mineral COM
position that makes possible the
precision polish attained on our
eyeglasses, and on the numberless
variety of lenses and prisms used
III all manner of optical instruments.
So fine, in fact, is the polish
which common rouge has made
possible, that the ordinary lens can
be tested to within the accuracy
of wave length of light.

Migration as a Cure.

From the Portland Oregon Journal
One Of the greatest migrations in
history Is proposed as a means Of solv-
ing Great Britain's unemployment prob
lem. 1t is proposal to get rid of vast
masses Of jobless people by colonizing
them in Northern Australia. 1t involves
the leasing of territory of more than
five times the area of the State of
Oregon. together with the expenditure
of more than 81 000.000.000. This ter
ritory is inhabited only by wild animals
and scattered tribes Of naked savages y
who still fight with spears and bows
and arrows. The plan is to settle the
unemployed in this wilderness on farms
adequately equipped with implements,
seed and houses, expecting them to dig
q livelihood out Of Mother Earth. Pro-
vision will be made by two governments
for towns, mines, coastal harbors, fac
tories and railroads. To the farms will
be added employment and a living in
the mines and forests. The claim is
that the rich region can, within few
years, be made to support a population
of 100000. It is claimed that when
the colony is finally developed from
Great Britain's unemployed it will form
the worlds greatest cattle enterprise,
even outstripping Argentina ultimately
IN low-cost beef production. If the plan
Is carried out 1t is probable that An1eri-
can stockmen and grain growers will
face another source Of competition.

Still the Land of Promise.

The long depression has had the ef-
feet Of discouraging numbers of Ameri-
cans. Many have seen the savings of
years swept away in the collapse of the
stock market. Others have been obliged
to watch the collapse of businesses they
had built up by arduous toll and pain
full sacrifice. Still others have lost po-
sitions for which they had qualified by
devoted application, study and the va
riety of experience which accrues from
purposeful labor. All have suffered,
and some have surrendered their faith
But the United States, nevertheless,
remains the most favored of the nations
of the world. Panics there may be,
drastic economic dislocation may
occur. fortunes may be wiped away,
dreams may be shattered. but nowhere
else on the earth is there a more fortu-
nate people than those of our own
country. Pessimists who think OF the
conditions of the past few years as
being devastating will do well to re-
member that such poverty" is in fact
variety of prosperity compared with
the distress which has been the lot of
Europe during the approximate span Of
two whole decades.
Maj. Gen. Hanson E. Ely sums up
the difference very neatly when he says:
If you want to know how much your
American citizenship is worth in dol
lars and cents, find out how many
thousands of dollars some foreigners
will pay to be smuggled into this
country.
A return to "normalcy," as President
Harding called it, may be a slow affair.
1t cannot be accomplished in a moment
nor by any magical wizardry. But a
complete recovery is inevitable. Not
even the worst of slumps is competent
to bankrupt the United States. The
resources of the land itself and the
genius of its people are too great to
permit continuance Of decline. If the
N. R. A. plan does not produce the de-
sired results, some other process GER
tainly will. Meantime the people may
rejoice in the favor which Providence
already has shown them. The Amerl-
can Republic still is the land Of prom
ise, and the powers which made it great
will restore its splendors in all their
natural glory.

The Thirty-second State.

OF equal interest in Virginia with the
States vote on national repeal yester-
day was the advisory vote on repeal
of the State prohibition act Virginia
was the second State of the Union to
ratify the eighteenth amendment, but
the State had been dry since 1916.
Now, by an estimated to l majority,
Virginia becomes the thirty-second
State to vote in favor Of ratifying the
new repeal amendment-at the ratif-
cation convention to be held October
25-and by like vote has advised the
Legislature, which meets in January,
to repeal the State prohibition act and
to substitute for it a State control act.
In guide ballot" prepared by the
wet organizations, "a plan for liquor
control" is described as
plan permitting and regulat-
ing the manufacture. use and handling
of intoxicating liquors under provisions
prohibiting the saloon and reServing to
each county and city the right by pop
ular vote to prohibit the sale of such
liquor within each such county or city.
At the special session of Virginia's
Legislature in August Gov Pollard had
sought to have submitted to the voters
choice between two sorts of control
the dispensary system, by which the
State would set up its own agencies,
exclusively controlling the manufacture
and sale Of intoxicating liquors, as is
nOnn nnahnP or hn
by which the State would license pri-
vate manufacture and wholesale and re-
tail sale of liquor. But the Legislature de-
clined to include the choice between
forms of control in the two questions
which it did submit to popular vote,
Which were. repeal and substitution of
State prohibition with a control act
The Legislature, meeting in regular ses-
sion in January will decide the form
OF State control AS delegates to the
lower house of the Legislature are
elected in November. the candidates will
doubtless express themselves between
now and then on the sort Of State con-
troll they favor, and indirectly the voters
will have an opportunity to express
themselves on that question. The fear
of creating powerful political machine
has been expressed in opposition to a
dispensary system of control
In Maryland the type of State con-
troll over the liquor traffic after re-
peal likewise remains undecided Gov.
Ritchie has said that he proposes to
call special session of the Legislature
to study control act about the first
OF November. In the meanwhile he
has called for the submission, from in
terested persons and organizations, of
ideas on the subject and has asked
his attorney general to prepare digest
OF other State control acts Maryland
is the only State which never passed
a tatewide prohibition law, but under
local option both Prince Georges County
and Montgomery County, adjacent to
Washington, were dry before national
prohibition. The counties will remain
dry after repeal until the Maryland
Legislature decides on the substitute
type of control.

is to widen the breach between DR..
Dollfuss and the Austrian Socialists at
the very moment these former political
foes Of his are rapidly turning to him
in sympathy with his efforts to save
the country from the German Nazi
menace. The Austrian Socialist party
rejects the suggestion that the chancel-
lor's assailant is afiliated with it.
The outside world, under all the cir
cumstances, will be inclined, despite
the formal message Of sympathy which
the German foreign minister dispatched
to DR.. Dollfuss, to believe that at the
bottom of Tuesdays outrage lies at
least a substratum Of Nazi response

cult for Herr Hitler and his minions

Chancellor Dollfuss.

The bullet wounds inflicted upon
Chancellor Dollfus in Vienna yesterday
do not appear to be of serious conse-
quence, but as evidence of the delirious
political conditions surrounding the
emaciated state of Austria, the attempt
ed assassination is a portent of un-
doubted gravity.
The perpetrator of the attack, Rudolf
Dertil, is former soldier in the Aus
trian army, where he became known as
an ardent devctee of the Austrian Nazi
party and a member Of the brown-shirt
soldiers union. A fellow-Nazi with
whom he had carried on propaganda
was recently dismissed from the colors
and, to escape similar fate, Dertil re-
signed. His family connections are
fanatical Nazi sympathizers.
While the Viennese authorities ad-
vance no claim or proof that Chan
cellor Dollfuss' assailant acted under
NaZi orders, the conclusion is obvious
that the man was under the influence
of the ferociouS anti-Dcllfuss campaign
which the Hitlerites have been waging
in and out of season against the man
who stands like Gibraltar between them
and their designs on Austrian inde-
pendence. "Dollfuss must go!" has been
the Nazi battle-cry for months. Every
conceivable method has been invoked
in Germany and in Austria itself to
undermine the little giant Of the
Danube. It is small wonder that the
agitation has at length produced some
one with sufficiently fevered emotions
to risk even murder in the name Of
Nazidom and Anschluss-Austrian union
with Germany.
From Berlin, naturally enough, there
-emanates a prompt alibi. Herr Hit
ler's newspaper mouthpieces ccme for
ward with the assertion that the would
be assassin is not Nazi, but Social
tst. Such disclaimer has two pur-
poses-one is to disavow any sort OF
German responsibility for thRr attack

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

well, to make long story Short
When you hear that, you can be sure
that you are in the hands Of q tiresome
narrator.
One is reminded of Emerson's two
sentences, Don't quote. Tell me what
you know"
The long story is always too long
that is why the teller himself feels the
necessity for shortening it.
Commonly he but adds more details
when he says that, so the listener knows
he is in for it.
Unnecessary detail Is what spoils
many good story, or narrative of any
kind, as told by the average verbose
speaker.
It is a pleasure to listen to a few
hundred words from some one who
knows how to talk
Not every one does!
The good speaker seems to possess
the knack of just what to say and what
not to say. He does not bore one by
being precise about the date that some
thing happened.
He gets down to essentials. tells his
tale briefly and to the point, therefore
It has point.
The man who feels 1t necessary to
say from time to time, We'll, to make
long story short" is himself conscious
that all is not going as we'll as he would
like it to CO.
Perhaps he sees telltale waver in
the eyes of the listener or listeners.
Sometimes one may feel that too
much stress has been put on the un-
wavering eye in this world.
The feeling, common to most persons,
that they must glare into each other's
eyes, when talking to each other, is
responsible for a great deal of trouble
Even in automobiles the man at the
wheel will turn his head to look straight
into the eyes of his companion, thus
taking his eyes off the road, where
they belong, and putting them where
it makes no difference.
Possibly some of the crazy driving
commonly observed is due to this one
fact. When the driver of a motor car
deliberately turns his head. in order
to look into the eyes Of his companion,
he does not help conversation much
but he does jeopardize his status as a
careful motorist.
Not all persons are subject to this
whim Of keeping their eyes on the eyes
Of their companions in everyday con-
versation. The too steady glance tends
to make another uneasy, in a great
many cases; it makes the listener feel
that he is being put through some sort
of visual cross-examination in the guise
of talk
1t may be felt that quite too much
stress has been placed upon the eye as
the window of the soul"
This idea. in itself proper enough, has
given rise to the counter idea that
unless one makes the eyes shine at all
times, one is not displaying the proper
amount Of soulfulness.
X
The so-called shifty eye often is
nothing but physical disability, or q
certain type of nervousness which will
not permit the holder to keep his eyes
fixed intently on one spot very long at
time.
Some people have a peculiar habit Of
batting their eyes constantly probably
in an effort to rid themselves of the
unpleasantness they feel when they
indulge in the common game Of staring
the other fellow down in ordinary con-
versation.
The truth seems to be that there Is
no need for such an unwavering glance
Indeed, the best conversationalists
seldom use it. Their method Is a more
