A solid band of opposition, rang

house to Jouette Shouse, president
of the Association Against the
Prohibition Amendment, was rails
ed against the repeal resolution,
newly laid before the senate with
the approval of the judiciary COM
mittee.
Though the senator's gave out
assurances that the proposal would
be taken up mex Monday, thir-
tenth anniversary of prohibition,
Garner asserted it does not con-
form with the Democratic plat
form, and other house leaders pre-
dicted it would not pass them in
its present form. Rainey Of Illi-
nois, the house Democratic floor
chief, was among the first to de-
nounce the resolution.
Shouse issued a long statement
in which he called for its defeat,
asserting "it were infinitely better
that the eighteenth amendment
should stand"
Principal objections to the pro-
posed amendment was hat it pro-
vides for the federal government,
through congress, to regulate Or
forbid the saloon. Others were it

De E. Bradshaw, President of the

President Bradshaw said that the
appointment of Mr.. Lewis is the
result of his fine record as an audi

Manager in North Carolina. It is
also a recognition, President Brad
shaw said, of the cooperation
given to Sovereign Lewis by the
large membership Of the Woodmen
of the World in this State.
"I am sure that the more than
$4,000 members of the Woodmen
of the World in North Carolina

of the World has always been

ARTICLE No. 20

Don't judge by results" is a mighty
good slogan and one that should be
applied at all times. Most players are
apt to judge by results at Auction or
Contract, rather than by analysis, and
there is nothing more harmful if a
player really and sincerely wishes to
improve his game. Sound bidding is
based on probabilities, not upon GER
tainties: If you or any player at the
table fails to make his bid, analyze the
hand before deciding whether the bid
was good or bad. Be sure of your facts
before you criticize.
Many a bid that is defeated several
tricks saves a game or rubber and may,
therefore, have been perfectly justi-
fable. Anything can happen to a hand,
even to the strongest. There is practi-
cally no hand that you will ever hold
which on a high bid cannot be defeated
by a freak distribution of the other

AUCTION BIDDING:

No score, first game. Z dealt and
elected to bid one no trump. All passed
and A proceeded to lead diamonds,
winning the first five tricks. This hand
is interesting because, if Z had bid
spades instead of no trump, he could
have made game. 1t looks like a better
chance for game at no trump, however;
SO rs bid cannot be justifably criti-
cized. A made a good play by refusing
to bid diamonds, having the lead at
no trump. If he had bid the diamonds,
Z would then have bid the spades and
gone game. The lesson to learn from
AS tactics is: Dom overbid a no trump
on your right if you have a set-up suit
or one that will set up in one round and
a Ire card of re-entry. To bid under
such conditions shows the no trump
bidder t. danger spot of his hand and

Rate OF Increase Drops
Even in the fall of 1929, the in
crease in unemployment was great
er than it had been this year. In
the three years before 1882, in
dustrial and farm layoffs threw
nearlyl, 100000 persons out of
work from October to November.
This year only about 10000 lost

ll,59o,ooo Are
Without Work

Labor Chief Finds Inc Bright Spot
In Smaller Rate Of Increase
An "all-time peak" of unem-
ployment was reported by William
Green, president of the American
Federation of Labor, who estimat-
ed that 11,590,OO0 were out Of
work in November.
Noting that this figure was
greater by 10000 than the previ-
ous high mark, reported for August
he added that word from affiliated
trade unions indicated the total
for early December was even great
er than that for the previous mon
tn.
Relief Is Increased
"Those out of work are in great
er need now than ever before, for
after three years of depression
their resources are exhausted"
Green said, mental and. physical
wreckage caused by depression is
driving families to seek relief in
constantly growing numbers. Re-
lief need is increasing much faster
than unemployment. In the year
ending October, 1882, unemploy-
ment increased 80 per cent, but
the number of famil les aided in
creased 94.5 per cent, and the a.
mount of relief given 1876 per
cent.
