CONTRACT BRIDGE
 BY VIM. E. MCKINNEY Secretary of the American Bridge League
High Cards Need Help You Must Count Losers Before Forcing Your Partner With Two-Bid
 That May Be Disastrous.
Solution to Previous Contract Problem

Here is another of those big high card trick hands. Today's South hand contains five and one-half primary tricks, but before making an original two bid, let's count the losers. There are two losing hearts and possibly two losing clubs.
 When making an original two bid, you should not have more than three losing cards-the rest should be sure winners. If 1t is minor suit in which you are making the two bid, you should not have more than two losing cards.
 The Bidding
 Naturally, North must pass after Vests overcall of two clubs. South's bid of three spades shows partner that he needs only about one in-card in North's hand to go game.

While I do not generally like to have my partner pass this jump bid, North did the proper thing in this case, as he has no in-cards and nothing that will be of any assistance to his partner.
 Some players might make the mistake, on the second round. of making a constructive bid of two diamonds over two clubs, hoping that this bid would force partner to keep the bidding open. But the

WORLD MILLS USE
LESS U. S. COTTON
Consumption Drops to Is, ,539 900
Bales During Year Ended

By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
World consumption of American cot
ton declined to 13,53s,0oo bales for
the year ended July, 1894, compared
with 14,l70,000 bales the preceding
year.
According to estimates given the
United States Division of Foreign
Crops and Markets, total world con-
sumption of all types of cotton during
the 1933-34 season amounted to U.s.
094 900 bales, the largest since the
192e-30 figure Of 25,201 900 bales.
Consumption of Indian cotton
reached Alto 900 bales, compared with
4,220,000 the previous season. and con-
sumption of the Egyptian staple
reached new record of / ,108, 900 bales
World mill stocks of American cot
ton on July 81, 1884, were reported at
2,319,000 bales, the smallest on any
half-year date since July 81, 1881.
1t is said that general prospects are
favorable for substantial seasonal
takings by Japan of the new American
cotton crop for Fall delivery. Indian
cotton has represented about two
thirds of the imports in recent months,
due to cessation of the boycott, but
that force is believed largely spent as
the end of the marketing season in
India nears and observers predict that
imports of American staple may in
crease.

Speculation marked time all around
pending the important Maine election
on Monday and announcement over
the week end of the Treasury's flnanc-

Results of the Maine vote were
awaited on the theory it would show
how the winds of popular favor were
blowing with respect to the New Deal.
The textile strike and business trends
were given secondary consideration in
the market discussion of events.
The substantial gain in railroad
carloadings last week, which lifted
total loadings to new peak for the
year, was hailed as indication of sea-
sonal expansion tendencies in busi-
ness. But neither that nor hope for
settlement of the textile controversy
was sufficient to overcome the markets

purported to be a memo from Count

Wadded Into RafterS
After Blaze.

Fire department arson investiga-
tors today expressed the opinion
that a mysterious "firebug" was re-
sponsible for the four attempts to
destroy an unoccupied double house
at 217-19 North keystone avenue.
Paper packed under a basement
rafter was responsible for the fourth
fire last night, while the other three
were started by rags soaked in kero-
sene, Battalion Chief Bernard
Lynch said.
The garage in the rear was de-
stroyed by an incendiary fire last
Thursday and two fires Monday
night caused extensive damage to
the second floor.
Alarmed for their own safety, per-
sons living in the neighborhood
have been watching the house, but
have seen no one enter or leave the
premises. The house is the property
of the Harry V. Underwood Com
pany, realtors.

The Soviet Union never intended

DELAYS are a tactical maneuver for
the purpose Of causing delay in the
critical situation in the Far East.
1t is necessary for Russia to gain
time TO finish its military prepara-
tions and TO finish as much as pos
sible Of its Second Five Year Plan.
Also il is essential to strengthen
Lenin's ideas among the masses be-
fore war breaks out.
Russia is now almost ready and
is concentrating large forces and
military supplies in its Far Eastern
sector.
In one way or another the war

THE RED MENACE

When the Congressional committee
headed by Representative Hamilton Fish
of New York reported some months ago on
Communist activities in the United States,
a sizeable section of the press and public
sought to, ridicule the findings of the COM
mittee, and intimated that Mr.. Fish and his
associates were seeing things under The
bed
Recent developments in connection
with some of the more important strikes
which have occurred tend to confirm the
correctness of the Fish committees report,
at least in general way.
1t is now well established that the
general strike in San Francisco, which for
few days virtually paralyzed all activi-
ties in that and nearby cities, and menaced
the supply of food for the public, was in
stigated by an Australian Communist
named Harry Bridges. The general strike
was not sanctioned by the American Fed
Grafton of Labor but was broken largely
through its reputation by President
Green of that body of legitimate Union
workers.
The red hand of Communism is also
seen in the Alabama textile strike, in
which many locals of Union textile work
ers have refused to join. The same is true
of strikes in Seattle, Minneapolis and else
where.
Abundant evidence is available to
prove that the Communist menace, par
ticularly to honest American labor, is no
myth. 1t is reality which must be dealt
with in vigorous fashion. Fortunately,
level headed and patriotic labor leaders of
legitimate unions seem disposed to reject
dictation by the COmmunistic element
within their ranks.
In combating the sinister efforts of
