\ When you have 40 or so
toward game you have great
psychological advantage over your
opponents. One of the best ways to
trifle lighter. Assume that you bid
one spade on the following:

But he knows that 60 points will put
you out. Moreover, he argues that
his partner may be on strategic
double, so he bids one no trump. Be-
cause of the barrier Of your part
score, your light opening is not likely
to get you into any trouble. Unless
you are playing against extraordinary
opponents, they will probably bid
over you.
A little later you open in dealer
position with part score, holding
a much better hand. Your left-hand
opponent gazes sadly at the following {:

Under ordinary circumstances he
would pass this hand. But in view

argues that since his partner has
paved the way for a sacrifice, he
will just show a little support at the
three level. At this point you STEP
in with a double and pick up 45C
points. Even if you have opened
light, the opponents never seem tc
realize that you can't make two spades
or two hearts, or whatever it Is. They
will bid three clubs, or three dia-
monds, and your partner, holding
strength in both minors, doubles fol
juicy penalty.

MEYER TALKS
To K|WAN|S

Success of present recovery plans
operating in Canada were discussed
by Howard P. Meyer at the lunch
con meeting of the Kiwanis club
today. He also told many inter-
esting details of the 5400 mile au-
tomobile trip he made in "a days,
during the past month.
On this trip Meyer went as far
north as Vancouver and visited
many scenic beauty spots. He
Travelled through Oregon and Mon
tana and returned to the valley by
way of Boulder Dam.
He praised the operation of the
recovery plan in Canada stating
that to all appearances the de-
preston is at an end there. In the
unemployment program he found
laborerS getting their board and
room with 20 cents a day. This
was kept down to such a figure, he
said. in order to keep the labor
erS and not to conflict with private
business. Instead of giving out
work at the expense of the people,
Canada was taking care of its men
in that manner until work turned
up.
He advised Kiwanians that now
is the time to visit the great Boul-
der Dam project. If possible, he
said, visitors should see the dam
by night as the activity of trucks,
cranes and other equipment under
the flood lights is a sight worth
seeing.
Charles Anderson was chairman
of the day.

SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. II. W.H
Attorney General Homer Cum
mings today said that establish
ment of gigantic Scotland Yard
in America would fail to meet the
complex problems involved in
stamping out crime in this country.
1.-The structure and functions OF
that famous organization are hard
ly adaptable to our problems" the
attorney general said in a speech
prepared for delivery before the
Commonwealth club here.
"There are many curious mis-
apprthensions about Scotland
Yard,' he said. %. Contrary
to popular belief. Scotland Yard
is not detective force and does
not have jurisdiction throughout
England or the British Isles.
cit is simply the metropolitan
police force of greater London and
is one of the 187 police forces in
England and Wales.
"Even if it were assumed that
Scotland Yard operated over the
total area of Great Britain, its
problem could not be compared to
conditions which exist in the Unit
ed States.
"Let us take the Urschel kid
naping case by way of illustration.
Mr.. Urschel was kidnapped in the
state of Oklahoma, held captive in
a remote section of Texas, the ram
som money was paid in Missouri.
A portion of the ransom money
was exchanged in Minnesota, an
other portion was hidden in Texas,
one of the guilty parties was locat-
ed in Colorado, and the Others in
Tennessee, Minnesota, Texas and
Illinois.
"These seven states have an
area of about 683,oO0 square miles,
which exceeds in extent the COM
bined area of Austria, Denmark,
France, Germany, Italy, Holland,
Switzerland, England, Scotland and
Wales.
''The terrain to be covered by the
forces brought into play to identify
and capture the perpetrators of this
infamous crime is out of all COM
