ONLY A DAD
YYYY7eifi hiIl " THE NAN IN TIE n'wH"
Good Evening,

ONLY A DAD Only Dad with tired face Coming home from the daily race Bringing little of gold or fame To show how well he has played the game But glad in his heart that his own rejoice To see him come and to hear his voice Only Dad with brood of five, One of ten million men or more. Plodding along in the daily strife. Bearing the slips and the scorns of life; With never a whimper of pain or hate For the sake of those who at home await Only a Dad, neither rich nor proud, Merely one of the surging crowd. Toiing, striving, from day to day. Facing whatever may come his way: Silent whenever the harsh condemn And bearing it all for the love of them Only a Dad, but he gives his all To smoothe the way for his children small, Doing with courage stern and grim The deeds that his father did for him. This is the line that for him l pen-- ONLY n Dad, but the BEST of MEN

Acting Director Is Car. rying On-No Indica-
 ton of New Chief
By HERBERT HUMMER

WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. IT, There is a seeming contrast in the present attitude of President Roose- welt toward the Bureau of the Budget and that which he display ed at the outset of his Administra- tion.
 One of4.shis first appointments was Lewis Douglas of Arizona as Director of the Budget. Douglas was named more than a week be- fore MT. Roosevelt was inaugurated and his selection was announced before even some of the members of the cabinet.
 The President went still further. He took occasion at the time to emphasize that he considered the budget office one of the most lm- portant in the government and all most on a rank with the Cabinet.
 Douglas resigned, presumably be- cause he did not see eye to eye with the President on budgetary policies, and an acting director is carrying on in his place.

 VISION OF DUCE ALARMS FRANCE
Fear Invading Hordes May Eventually Pour Over
 Her Frontiers
By RICHARD G. MAssOCK

PARIS, Oct 17.-France, warn ed by Mussolini to halt her falling birth rate, is worrying about her place in Europe's population race.
 She is afraid invading hordes eventually will pour over unde- tended frontiers if the population dwindles as Italy's premier pre- diets.
 Unless French marriages and babies multiply in the near future, Mussolini warned there will be only half as many Frenchmen within a scant 60 years, or 20,- 100000 as compared to the present 4O,OOO,OOO.
 Sees Colored Peril
 The prophecy by the Italian chief was in an article in which he won dered If the white mans civiliza- tion" would not disappear in the face of the continual numerical growth and uninterrupted territo- rial expansion of the yellow and black races"
 There is not an hour to lose in seeking remedies" he told France
 That neighborly warning from a foreign chief of state has served to focus Frances attention on an appeal to the nation" issued by 20 prominent French leaders a few months back, but generally ignored
 Rapid depopulation," said the appeal, threatens commerce and industry with failure for want of consumers, the state with bank ruptcy for want of taxpayers and the country with inability to pro- tect its frontiers for want of de- denders."

 LATEST PUZZLE

COLUMBIA, s. O., Oct. 17.-In moving famished cattle from the drought-stricken West to the South a serious mathematical problem arises as the beasts take on weight and size with each feeding and watering. e''
 Alfred c. Smith, EZRA Super visor in charge of the movement, found difficulties popping up after the cattle trains got under way.
 We would start out with 45 to 50 cows in each car,p he recalled But after we had stopped enroute to unload, feed and water them, at least three would not be able to squeeze back into the car They simply filled out"
 And that's why trains arrived at their destinations with a car or two more than they had at the start.

AN ADVISORY OFFICIAL

The President has given no in- dication of plans to fill Douglas post The Budget is in process of preparation for submission to the next Congress. All inquiries as to whether a new director is to be appointed are answered simply by the White House with:
 "The Bureau of Budget is func- tioning in normal fashion,
 This is just another way of. say ing that it makes little difference whether a new director is appoint ed or not. The President directs the preparation of the budget.
 Under the law the bureau has authority ito assemble, correlate, revise, reduce or increase the esti- mates of the several departments and establishments" of the govern ment. All this is done, however, un- der the immediate direction of the President. The director of the Budget is nothing more than an official serving the administration in an advisory capacity.

Contract Bridge

Here is neat safety play that
came up in the recent Ohio state
tournament. 1t is a case where you
lead an honor, the opponent covers,
and you must let him hold the trick
to win an extra trick, because the
extra trick is the one needed for
game.
Vests opening lead was the nine
OF diamonds. Declarer played low
from dummy, East played the six
and declarer won the trick with the
jack. He then led the queen of clubs,
West playing the king.
XXTOULD you go up with the ace
w in dummy? If so, you would
win only three club tricks, and you
need four to go game. Therefore,
you should make safety play, re-
fusing to win this trick and play
ing the deuce from dummy, so that
later you may be able to cash the
jack of clubs and then have your
ten as an entry into dummy to
cash the remaining low clubs.
After winning with the king of
clubs, West continued with the
eight of diamonds, the queen was
played from dummy, East played
the king, and South won the trick
with the ace. He now led the jack
of clubs, playing low from dummy,
and then the ten of clubs. West
discarded a heart and declarer over
took the ten in dummy with the
ace.
South caShed his two good club
tricks and discarded heart and a
diamond from his own hand East
and West both let go spade and
heart.
Declarer returned a small spade,
East played the ten and South won
with the queen. He cashed the ace
and king of hearts and was forced
to lose only the last three tricks.
However, the safety play had
given him three no trump.
