Street Opera
JObIeSs Singers Given
Right to Perform on
Paris Avenues.

By United Press
DARIS, Feb. Professional
l. singers out of work have
been granted the right to sing
along the boulevards.
Hitherto street-singing has been
prohibited as a peddling nuisance.
The present ruling is limited
strictly to unemployed music-hall
and operate artists, who must
prove professional employment
within the last two years to at
tain licenses.
Only at stated times, moreover,
will these performers be permitted
to sing. The boulevard recitals"
will be legal from II a. m. to 2
p. m. and from to 9 p. m.
The project promises to be a
bizarre experiment, since it is
questionable how we'll the strains
of "Madelon" will harmonic
against the boulevard cacophony
of auto-horns and the treble
squeaks of taXis.
In light of the hundreds of the
operate and musical-comedy fra
ternity without work, however, the
police acquiesced to the solicita-
tions of committee of producers
and critics.
Accordingly, cafe habitues along
the boulevards soon will have the
Paris equivalent of "open-air
opera" lacking only orchestra and
costumes.

Therefore. he bid five clubs. North
responded with five diamonds. That
was sufficient for Cotton, who imme-
diately plunged into seven spades.

hand, and the dummy. I previously
had looked at the two hands at the
other tablet was to play at The
same time. I then was blindfolded
and here is the play as it came up
at Mr.. Cottons table.
The Play
West opened with the Jack of
clubs. I directed the queen to be
played from dummy Two rounds
of trump were taken, which drew
all the opponents trump.
On the next spade play, East sig
nailed in diamonds by dropping the
eight and then on the fourth spade
play, when I discarded the deuce of
hearts in dummy, he dropped the
eight of hearts, thus echoing in
hearts.
I now realize that neither finesse
would work, and the only chance to
make the contract was to resort to
the play known as the Vienna coup.
My next play was a small dia-
mond, which was won in dummy
with the ace. A club was returned
and won in the South with the king.
The ace of clubs was played and
East was forced to discard the five
of diamonds. The deuce of dia-
monds was discarded from dummy on
the ten of spades, and East dis
carded the ten of diamonds.
The four Of spades was led and
jack of diamonds discarded
and now East was helpless.
If he discarded his king of dia-
monds, the queen in the South hand
would be good, while if he discarded
heart, as was done in this case,
dummy's three hearts were good and
the grand slam was made.

VOU can not appreciate how
L. popular bridge is today until
you see the thousands Of people who
enjoy bridge every afternoon in the
parks at st. Petersburg, Fla.
This city has a number Of open
air sunshine clubs where card ia
bles, chairs and cards are furnished
to tourists desiring to play. On
windy days they furnish little sticks
with each table to keep the cards
from blowing away.
In one park alone I have seen
as many as $50 tables in play in
one afternoon, and was surprised
in strolling from one table to an
other to find not a single group
playing for a stake Every one was
playing for sociability and love OF
the game.
One afternoon in one of the parks
l was giving demonstration of
blindfold bridge. Wilbur M. Cotton,
city manager, kindly consented to
play at one table. He was sitting
in the South and this is the hand
that was dealt to him.

CHICAGO, Feb 24.-More com
mon sense and less bluff is the So
luton to the farm mortgage fore
closure problem, as seen by c. B.
Jennett, yice-president of the First
Trust joint stock land bank of Chi
cago.
1t is time to think of the in
weston as we'll as the farmer" he
said.
The attitude of mortgage hold
ers who put the farmers on the de-
fensive by forcing the issue now is
lamentable Jennette said today in
his office in the First National bank
building.
That attitude results in demon
STATIONS by farmers as those at
Kankakee, Ill, and fans the flames
Of trouble If the idea becomes
widespread it will result in refusal
OF city groups to pay interest on
mortgages and may force a general
moratorium.
Disastrous Consequences
Consequences Of such a Situa-
tion would be disastrous. Purchas-
ing power of the investors would be
curtailed drastically, and the pinch
would oe felt all along the line :"
Jennett stressed that no expen-
siVe machinery would have to be set
up to carry out common sense So
luton of the problem, as between
farmer and mortgage holder, ana
which would respect the rights of
both.
Jennett does not favor a mora
forum for a set time in any area,
he explained, because it would halt
payments Of interest on mortgages
by those we'll able to pay.
"As q matter of fact he said
department Of agriculture figures
show that about half the farms in
this country are free of incum-
brance, and of the other half less
than so per cent are unable to pay
anything, while more than so per
cent could pay something, if not
the full amount"
Lay Cards on Table
The policy of the joint stock land
bank has been to deal with the
farmer as an individual, according
to the Vice-President.
we tell the farmer to lay his
cards on the table" he said I'VE
tell him that we. will give him more
time if he will agree to pay all he
possibly can on his debt We de
not say we'll allow him two years,
or two months. He might inherit
a fortune in the meantime. We do
tell him that We'll go along with
him as long as he does his best.
But when a mortgage foreclosure
sale is scheduled am farmers are
able to overawe the authorities and
prevent it, the morale of the people
as a whole is shaken. Other iarn-
ers wonder why they should pay,
when their neigbhors do not.
1T is far better, in my opinion,
to let the farmer stay on his land,
dealing with him as an honest man
who wants to pay his debts and will
pay as much as he can"

The Bidding

Mr.. Cotton in the South opened
with one spade. His partner bid
two no trump.
Mr. Cotton, having control of only
two suits, could not invite a slam as
yet, and decided to show his strength
in spades, so responded with three
spades.
North, knowing that his partner
has a solid spade suit of at least
five cards, due to the re-bid, de-
cided that he would show the heart
suit before supporting the spade,
and bid four hearts.
Cotton correctly figured that as he
held the ace and king of clubs, his
