CAROLINAS WEIGH REPEAL
South Carolina Drys Oppose
Pressure Brought by
Administration.
BY FITZ HUGH McMASTER.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
COLUMBIA, S. c., July 15.-Pron-
ably the most-talkedof thing in South
Carolina at this time is the respectful
but none the less positive arraignment
of President Roosevelt and member
of his cabinet" by the Executive Com
mittee of the federated organizations
opposed to the repeal of the eighteenth
amendment, who cannot help but feel
that the moral integrity of our Nation
is in danger by their) pressing. us to
adopt the repeal amendment in the ab-
sence of any substitute method OF con-
trolling the manufacture and traffic IN
alcoholic liquors." and that the pub
lie statements Of the President and a
member of his cabinet are an attempted
exercise of undue influence upon the
American voter on question submit
ted to all the people irrespective OF all
political parties"
This organization, while manned
largely by ministers Of all the leading
religious denominations of the State,
has such men in it as former Gov. John
g. Richards, who was one of the mem
bers of the committee which drew up
the indictment, so to speak; several OF
the leading lawyers of the State and
other prominent men in all walks OF
life.
Whether it portends q rift In the
Democratic party in the State remains
to be SEEN It Is the fact that a great
many Democrats voted for President
Hoover in his first race, and 1t IS very
certain that with the depression over,
and the liquor question up, should
there be a division on the question by
national parties great many Demo-
Gratis In this State would vote with the
party in opposition to liquor.
Textile Code.
The adoption of the textile code has
been expected by the leading manufac-
turers in South Carolina and its effect
in one sense has been discounted. But
now that it has been adopted no one is
prepared to say what its effect will be.
There is one principle in it that Is
welcomed by the majority of the manu-
facturers and that is the uniformity OF
regulation. The industry in this State
has not been so regulated. While there
have been efforts to bring this about
through the national organization, there
have been powerful and aggressive free
lances in South Carolina, who have re-
fused to be controlled, and who have
been serious thorns in the flesh of those
who wished for uniformity of produc-
tion, in working hours and In other
things. These will now be brought into
line.
Whether the textile code will increase
the aggregate labor expenditures or de-
crease them, what effect it will have in
increasing adult labor by the raising
Of the age of employment Of children
are yet undetermined. -

Manners and Morals
BY JANE JORDAN

I'm going to run around with
others that I don't need to hang
around him.
What I don't understand is if
he doesn't want me to have other
dates, why doesn't he ask me to
go steady? How could 1 get him
to ask me? He has mentioned
marriage several times, but it
seems that is as far as we ever
get. When it comes to marrying
there is nothing I'd rather do, but
I don't know how to keep him en-
Unused about the matter.
MISS x.
AnSwer-Your boy friend probably
would respect you more if you were
not so eager to please him. He is a
selfish, egotistical youth whose in
fantile demands for exclusive at
tention should be ignored. If he
doesn't like the way you behave, let
him look elsewhere for somebody to
bully The chances are that if you
retreated, he would pursue. Flight
is an ancient trick employed by wise
females since the beginning of time
to stimulate the male to pursuit.
Even if you succeed in warming
him up to the chase, his interest
may die after you are captured. The
best thing you can do is to see
this boy for what he is. He is just a
self-centered child who wants every
thing his own way or he won't play
And who wants an overgrown baby
for a husband?

PICKED FOR new
HOME PROJECT
Government Will Place
Families on Small Farm

By United Press
WASHINGTON. Dec. 27.-Indi-
eating a widespread land-hunger
throughout America, a veritable
food of demands upon the govern
ment's S25 100000 fund for subsist-
ence homesteads are being received
here.
Applications which, if granted,
would cost $4,000, 10000 have poured
into the Office of Director M. l..
Wilson Of the division of subsistence
homesteads. Often letters, pathetic
in their writer's eagerness for a bit
of soil, total 1000 a day. Backers
of the plan may ask congress for
more funds to meet the unexpected
demand. Senator John H. Bank
head Dem, Ala), author of the
present provision, originally asked
for $500, 100000.
In view Of the popular response,
the division is rushing individual
projects, and hopes to announce ten
or fifteen new ones before Jan. /.
Indiana Gets Site
So far only three projects have
been approved. These are:
Dayton, O., small settlement to
provide garden homes for thirty five
families, costing $4,000.
Reedsville, w. Va, a project to
care for 125 families of surplus coal
miners on five-acre tracts, their
farm income to be supplemented with
work at a government postoff1ce
equipment factory, costing between
100000 and 100000.
Decatur, Ind, a demonstration
project on the edge of a small in
dustrial city, providing farm homes
for fifty families, costing $125,000.
Project Is Half and Half
The $25, 100000 fund is a revolving
fund. Settlements, created some
what after the pattern of the United
States reclamation service projects,
are to be planted in all parts of
the United States by way of demon
strating the usefulness of an Gin
termediate type of life" half way
beween farm and city life. A hobby
of President and Mrs. Roosevelt, the
movement is likely to grow into i'm
posing proportions.
Subsistence farms are designed to
aid principally these groups:
Workers in nined-out coal re-
gions, in copper camps and logged
over lumber regions, "over-aged"
workers, victims of chronological
unemployment, families in low-pro-
duction farm regions, and seasonal
workers.
The plan is novel in this country.
Other countries, including Germany,
France, Scandinavian countries and
England, have similar enterprises.

Solution to PreUious
Contract Problem
BY w. E. M'KENNEY
Secretary American Bridge League

MANY players, upon picking up
Iva the South hand in today's
game, Immediately would become
discouraged with their poor cards.
But a hand of this pattern is not
discouraging type.
While it is lacking in high cards,
it does have exceptionally good dis
tribution-five cards in each major.
And if you can find a fit in your
partners hand, it isn't going to
take a lot to make game.
Of course, the South player is
fortunate in catching his partner
with five high card tricks, and even
then he has to play the hand care
fully to make his contract.
While West has a f1ve-card suit,
the hand is not strong enough to
make a second hand bid and he
properly passes. Over 4North's dia-
mond bid, South properly shows the
higher ranking of his two suits of
equal length.
When North bids two clubs over
South's bid sof one spade, this is
constructive bid and also confirms
the fact that the diamond bid was
constructive. He now really is
showing a second suit-and with
good strength South shows his
second suit and North takes the
strain off the hand by jumping to
four.
INVESTS opening lead was the
w jack of clubs, won in dummy
with the ace. The spade was re-
turned, West winning with the ten
and returning the ten of clubs, won
in dummy with the king.
The six of clubs was returned
from dummy, South trumping with
the deuce of hearts. A small spade
then was ruffed with the nine of
hearts.
A small club was returned, South
trumping with the three of hearts
and West overtrumping with the
five of hearts.
West returned a diamond, which
was won in dummy with the ace.
The ace of hearts in dummy was
cashed, Vests king dropping The
king and queen of diamonds then
were cashed and two losing spades
discarded.
Another diamond was returned
South trumping with the eight of
hearts and then leading the jack
of spades, which was trumped in
dummy with the ten of hearts.
East, of course, overtrumped with
the jack and South won the last
trick with the queen of hearts.
