Contract Bridge

plays to recognize, however, are the
ones where we have no long suit,
and where we must employ one OPP
ponent to squeeze the other.
This play was recognized and
executed by william A. Roof Jr., re-
Gently retired president of the
Cleveland Whist Club, one of the
oldest bridge organizations in the
country.
Mr.. Roof and his partner were
using the BOland Club system of
bidding. The original bid of one
club is an artificial convention to
show three and one-half high card
tricks. With less than two tricks,
partner must respond with one dia-
mond. ANY other response is posi-
tive.
Therefore, North's response Of
one spade over the one club showed
at least two high card tricks. The
hand was almost strong enough,
under the Boland system, to Jump
to two spades, inviting slam, ex-
cept that the spade suit is only a
four carder.
When Mr.. Roof in the South
made a positive response of one no
trump, North decided to waste no
further time and went right up
to six.
INVESTS opening lead was the
w jack Of clubs, which Mr.. Roof
in the South won with the ace. He
took two rounds of diamonds in
dummy with the king and queen.
Mr.. Roof had eleven cold tricks
if all the suits were to break, he
knew that the twelfth trick could
be developed. But you will notice
that the opponents have every suit
stopped.
Mr.. Roof decided to see if the
spade suit would break, by playing
the ace and king from dummy and
then a small spade to his own
hand. But West showed out, dis
carding a diamond, which also
warned Mr.. Roof that the diamond
suit would not break.
He now led the queen of clubs
from dummy, East had to let go
a heart. Another club was returned
from dummy and East was forced
to discard another heart.
Mr.. Roof won this trick with the
king and returned the five of clubs
the squeeze card - which West
won. In winning this trick, West
squeezed his partner, East, who
could not let go a spade or dia-
mond and SO dropped the jack of
hearts.
West had to lead a heart, which
South won with the ace, and now
had the six Of hearts to lead through
Vests ten-spot, as the king and
nine were both in dummy.

Theme Strictly Feminine
But the theme with which it

terms we're simple and geometric
and the single weave was used.
These are called Mountain cover
lets possibly because they are
made today in the southern noun
tain districts where the art has
survived.
During the first half of the
nineteenth century and until the
Civil war silenced the looms,
professional weavers toured the
country, making handsome and
elaborate coverlets of complicated
and patriotic designs for women
who had prepared the flax and
wool and could afford the charge
of $40.
AS these coverlets were made
on a large loom they usually are
fashioned in one piece of either
single or double weave. Many
are dated and signed by the
weaver.
About ten years ago I pur-
chased two professionally woven
coverlets from an elderly spinster
living near Lafayette. She had
given them wonderful care-one
never had been laundered. Her
grandmother had prepared the
flax and wool, but as they are I'M
marked, the maker is not known.
The one here illustrated is of pa
triotic design, with the United
States shield showing only twenty
stars, which may date it at 1916.
It is a single tapestry in the
American summer and winter"
weave.
The warp is heavy linen, the
wool of wool in red and two
shades of green, and the floral
border, entirely encircling the
central design, is an unusual fea-
ture. The design of the other
coverlet shows Dutch influence,
with tulip, hearts and stiffly con-
ventional birds in blue, red and
green against the flaxen warp.
Although originally fashioned for
bed covering, they are true works
of art and may serve today also
as wall hangings, thus adding
beauty as well as utility to a deco
rative scheme.
MANY of the old coverlets have
AVA survived today possibly be-
cause they were particular joy
to the pioneer homemaker. For
tunately, they are almost entirely
in the hands of those who cherish
them. Surprisingly, they have an
especial appeal to men. Walter H.

NO CHANGE WANTED

THOsE political scientists who declare that
l. the United States needs parliamentary
form Of government patterned after the
English model, with an administration which
stands or falls by its success in the house of
representatives, might notice that if such a
system we're actually in effect, President
Roosevelt now would be out of office
When the house voted The 81 ZOO, 100000
soldiers bonus bill the other day in direct
defiance of the White House program, it
took a step which under a parliamentary
government would have required the imme-
date resignation of the entire administra-
ton
Under many conditions, of course, that
would be an excellent thing Most Ameri-
cans, however, probably will conclude that
just now a break i'll the continuity of things
at Washington, with the confusion and delay
incident to a new national election, easily
might prove an exceedingly bad thing
The Indianapolis times., 1934-03-17
ENFORCE THE CODES

THE United States government apparently
is not fooling when it says industry must
put more men and women to work. pay them
better wages, and let them organize and bar
gain freely.
The Presidents new executive order is evi-
dence Of this. 1t brings into play the most
powerful weapon the government has at its
disposal . . for if the government refuses to
buy from firms which do not certify compli-
ance with NRA codes, it is reasonable to be-
leve those firms soon will comply.
For too long the administration has coaxed
and wheedled the minority Of industry. The
new executive order is a sane method of en-
forcement. Compulsory licensing of business,
court of proceedings, or other punitive meas
ures under the recovery act would be slow and
unpleasant. But the counrry's biggest pur-
chaser can make its own terms in regard to
buying and commercial nation will recognize
it's right to do so, and the superior force of its
argument.
Enactment of the Wagner labor disputes
bill is a necessary part of the new program.
Failure to comply with Section IA of the
recovery act, the section guaranteeing labors
most of the trouble between industry and
labor in the past few months, and the new
bill is designed to make clear beyond the
slightest possibility of misinterpretation just
what compliance means.
Until labor is freely exercising this right
unrest will continue and purchasing power
will fail to improve
The administration would probably have
had an easier time securing compliance with
the recovery act if it had been firm months
ago but it has tried out the more lenient plan
and demonstrated Enthusiastically that clear
definition of labors rights are necessary as
well use of economic power to enforce
them
One way or another purchasing power must
be restored.

there have been only partial surveys of this
important problem. The investigation of
Shearer. munitions lobbyist at the Geneva
conference, was another partial step toward
the revelation Of the facts.
But now the senate military affairs COM
mittee. in approving the Nye-Vandenberg
resolution, has laid the basis for an inquiry
that will go into all phases of armament
manufacture. sale. promotion Of sales, and
propaganda.
In a tense world that is hearing rumors
upon rumors of wars, this investigation, if
carefully and thoroughly pursued, should have
a wholesome effect and serve as an important

SLOW JUSTICE

THE laws delays nave been a scandal since
the time of Shakespeare; or, for that
matter. since the time of 2abelais, who had
certain jibes to make about the lawyers. The
latest attack upon this ancient difficulty comes
from Governor lehman OF New York. in
special message to the legislature recently.
Urging revision of the states court proc
esses. the Governor pointed out that in many
cases it takes as long as four years after
suit has been filed before it can be brought
to trial. Such a delay, obviously, very often
will amount to a complete denial of justice.
Not all states. o. course, have courts which
operate as slowly as these Of which Governor
Lehman complains 1t is safe to say. however,
that there is no state in which the course of
Justice could not proftably be accelerated. 1t
would be a good thing if other Governors
could follow Governor Lehman's tactics.

STOCK CONTROL THREATENED

TT is rumored in Washington that the pro-
posed bill to regulate the stock markets
may not be passed at this session. after all
Faced with many difficulties. congressional
leaders are reported to be half-ready to let
the bill lapse unless there is definite public
demand for its adoption.
one would imagine that the disclosures
made during the last year by the senate COM
nittee would be enough to create such de-
nand. in overwhelming strength. Modifca-
tions may be needed. Of course to prevent
undue stringency on the flow of investments;
but that some sort of measure is needed
seems almost beyond dispute.
There is still another angle to consider.
Trade and industry are reviving: apparently
the revival will continue for some time. Ui-
less we are careful. this easily might set the
stage for a new stock market boom, which
could have disastrous results
It might be wise to hurry this regulation
bill through as a safeguard against the ex-
cesses Of speculative enthusiasm.

PROTESTS SIZE OF
PENSION ALLOTMENTS

BY G. Roby.
In regard to the old age pension
law in Clinton county, I have ueen
a citizen of Clinton county since
1907. I am not entitled to a pen
sion and will not be for thirty years.
I have no relatives who have ap-
piled for a pension.
Just few days ago the county
commissioners granted a few mere
pensions. The first group receives
$5 month; the second, $375; the
third, $3.50. These people paid
taxes all their lives and now a coun-
ty pays them off with $3.50 to IS a
month. 1t makes a person living
in this county feel small enough to
crawl through the eye of a needle.
Just a few days ago these same
commissioners appropriated more
than $1,000 to buy tractors. Why
not give the old people little
more?
