NOW TO SALVAGE THE AIRMAH

The airmail contract cancellation
affair leaves a bad taste.
1t interrupts an efficient, smooth
running service of which every AM
erican was proud. 1t jeopardizes
lives and equipment of the army. II
allowed to stand exactly as promul-
gated, it would cripple air transport.
II has a political flavor; the in
ference is bound to be drawn that
this was in part mOtivated, con-
sciOusly or subconsciously, by a de-
sire to discredit acts of the Hoover
administration. Up to now, the
Roosevelt group has not conspicu-
Ously indulged in that form of petty
politics.
Worst of all, the act has the un-
mistakable air of having been decid-
ed upon impetuously. That is a dis
quieting thought. If the Administra-
tiOn is impulsive and head-long, it
may be again, in an even more crit
ical matter.
To us, it appears that the Hoover
Brown policy aimed at building up
an efficient air mail service. and,
simultaneously, a good passenger
transport system. Aiming at this.
support was thrown to the strong,
well-organized groups. The device
of granting extensions seems to have
been stretched beyond the intent Of
Congress-all to the same end.
II appears there was much money
made in certain air stocks. But there
is no evidence of improper cOnsid-
erations having been demanded or
volunteered IN return for contracts.
IL does appear that the big Oper-
atOrs" carved up the map among.
themselves. But they did so at the
direct invitation of the government
then in power
That is not the way Roosevelt
would have done the thing. II is alb
hOrrent to his whole philosophy. He
feels IL is just the kind of favOring
"big fellows" that the people voted
against in November, 1882. We may
grant his sincerity. But ii was pos
sible TO get a new airmail deal with
out sweeping and indiscrimlnate eX-
tinction of all air transport COM
panies.
The deed is done Now the prob
lem is to turn the situation to the
best advantage possible. There prob
ably is something to be gained from
a new deal all around; let us have
H.
We do not believe the sentence of
execution passed on the air trans
port companies will be allowed to
stand as written. We doubt If the
5-year prohibition against their re-
bidding will be rigidly enforced. che

But this time on a better basis.
The scheme devised by Representa-
tive Mead for payment on a mileage
poundage rate, together with plans

by reducing postage and Offering
special services, seems well-consid-
cred. II will get rid Of the smell OF
disguised subsidy; It will be as well

Solution to Previous
Contract Problem
BY w. E.
Secretary American Bridge League

AfN
T BELIEVE every bridge player
l. ought to attend a good football
game at some time or other and
listen to the crowd yell, Yea, team,
hold that line!" The impression
that you should get, as a bridge
player, from this yell is-when you
can do so, cash that trick and stop
that game.
Here is a hand in which it looks
as though South can not lose by
refusing to cash his ace of diamonds,
but you can never tell what will
happen, and in this case L. H. Sim
mons of Cleveland, the declarer, is
able to employ a triple squeeze to
make his contract.
I suppose it is quite a temptation
for most Of you to overcall with
Vests holding. However, hasn't
South bid the suit that you would
like to bid?
If North passes, East will keep
the bidding open.
If he holds two tricks, he will
make a dedUctive double. Without
two tricks, he may bid a suit, and
if he has neither a suit nor two
tricks. you certainly do not want
to be playing it at any cotract.

Contract Bridge

A FTER the spade bid, the open
IA ing lead by North was the five
Of spades. South played the eight
and West with the ten.
He To- tried to establish the
clubs by leading the king, South
winning with the ace and returning
the jack of spades.
MI. Simmons won with the queen,
discarding a diamond from dummy,
and then led the eight of clubs.
On this play, North discarded the
eight of hearts, which was asking
his partner to lead a heart. So,
when South won the trick with the
nine of clubs, instead of continuing
the spades, which would have de-
feated the contract, he led the three
of hearts.
Mr. Simmons went right up with
the ace and then made the nice play
of the nine of hearts, trying to
sneak through the jack. However,
North went right up with the queen
and on this play South discarded the
eight of diamonds. North led the
ten of diamonds, which South won
with the queen.
If South had cashed his ace of
diamonds, the contract would have
been defeated. But it looked as
though he had the club suit stopped.
He also had the spade suit
stopped, so he decided to try to
defeat the contract two tricks. He
led the nine of spades, which Mr..
Simmons won in his own hand with
the ace, discarding another diamond
from dummy. West laid down The
king and ten of hearts and dis
carded the king of diamonds from
dummy.
South found himself squeezed on
all three suits. On the first heart
he could let go the three of spades,
but on the second he was help
less.
If he let go the king of spades,
declarer's seven was good. If the
ace of diamonds was discarded, de-
clarer's jack was good. If a club
was released, all clubs in dummy
were good.

which the men are barred, and
things begin to pop.
There was, If you remember, some
nebulous committee for prohlbi-
ton reform early in the dry dec
ade. There was even an organiza-
ton Of all-male crusaders who
pledged thmselves to give to the

most %outlandish name of any group
this side of a Negro burial society,
the organization finally put the
thing across.
Wen, something of the kind seems
TO be happening today in the far
more vital matter of universal
peace. The Women's International
League has determinedly barred men
from its ranks in the belief that
some Of them would bolt at the first
bugle call.
This group already has won a not
able victory, within the month, when
its lively lobby got the government
to provide $4,000 for the Nye inves-.
tigation of the munitions industry.
And it has only Just begun.
Prove Feminine Solidarity
Who said that women could not
work together, anyway?
We have been told in many re-
cent high-priced articles from Eu-
rope that the prospects of another
major war are far too great for
comfort. Perhaps. But it is GER
tainly true that there has never
been a moment in the history of this
country when there was a greater
public sentiment against war of any
kind.
Photographs Of battlefield e
have brought the World war into our
homes and made us cringe at its
horrors. Moving pictures of real
battles have shown the difference
between the grewsome reality and
the romantic version, snapped on
some Hollywood lot, to which We
were accustomed.
Books like Merchants of Death"
have aroused our indignation against
the munitions makers, who, accord
ing to Senator Nye, prolonged the
last war two unnecessary years for
profit. The public is being told the
truth at last!
Efficient in Politics
And the public is beginning to
wake up. On May 10 there will be
held here an anti-war parade, in
which the various peace societies,
their small differences forgotten.
will Join in protest against their
common enemy-war!
War nowadays is not a gallant
game. It is a sordid, futile CONNER
cial b~usiness-as different from the
medieval battles we idealize as a
destroyer is different from a sailing
ship.
The governments know all about
the modern kind of war-they can
tell you that every American soldier
killed in the last conflict cost this
country SOS, 900; that it took from
10000 to $4,000 lives to train a ma
j~or-general. And, as Bishop Fran
els j. Mcconnell recently said, L
might be willing to die for my coun-
try, but I'm not going to be killed
to warm up a majOr-general!"
The public is Just beginning to
realize the truth about modern war.

LOG CABINS FOR RENTAL
BRING SUMMER PROFITS
Trees From to 10 Inches Prove
Suitable for Rustic Houses
in Mild Weather.

If you have a wooded tract Of land.
a log cabin for rental in the Summer
may be a profitable investment. Trees
of from to 10 inches are usually
employed, although larger ones may
be used If q more rugged effect Is
desired.
If 1t is intended to use logs with
the bark peeled the trees may be cut
down at any time (preferably in the
Spring.. If, however, logs with bark
on them are to be used the trees
should be cut in the late Fall or Win
ter before the sap starts to flow freely
in the SpriLs. AL ends, knots, peeled
surfaces and scores should be treated
with q chemical wood preservative,
such as creosote, and in the use Of
this the Government has prepared

|0F HOMES GAINS
Month-to-Month Volume of
Loans Shows Practically
Unbroken Rise.

The increasing ability Of private
capital to take over home financing
and thus make Government participa-
ton in the field unnecessary Is shown
by the practically unbroken rise in
month-to-month volume of loans by
representative building and loan as
sociations from January through Oc-
tober.
This Is pointed out by I. Fried
lander, Houston, Tex, president O the
United States Building and Loan
League. Taking an identical cross
section of associations, representing
New England, East-North Central.
South Atlantic, West-South Central
and Pacific States, Mr.. Friedlander
finds that their October loan volume
was more than twice that in January.
July an on Month.
July was the only month In which
the new advances to home owners
did not exceed those of the month
before, and the upward climb started
again In August with a 20 per cent
increase over the July amount.
On basis Of these reports the total
amount of lending by all building and
loan associations during the first 10
months is placed some where between
$375, ,000, 900 and $400, ZOO, 900, the
league president points out. If the
upward trend in loan volume Is sus-
tanned until the end of the year, and
there are many indications that this
will be the case, the total 1884 loans
Of associations will be considerably
larger than their advances in 1888
which were $435, ,000,O0

Exposition Demonstrates
Ideas of Designers as to

Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, December 22.-What
a twentieth century home should look
hke-at least in the opinion of the
:ountry's leading contemporary design
ers-is being demonstrated at the Met
ropolitan Museum. Here, in the Con-
temporary Industrial Art Exhibition,
are modern rooms whose up-to-date
furnishings include tubular metal
chairs, lamps with metal shades and
upholstery fabrics Of new weaves and
design.
These rooms are in the contempo-
rary style-the term modernistic is ta-
boo-according to museum experts.
Solid -colored walls are most frequent
ly found, for the contemporary deco
rator believes that simple, colorful
background is the most hattering set
ting for the gowns which women are
wearing today Pictures, mirrors,
hangings and other decorative acces-
sories supply accents.
A chic dressing room, for example,
has white painted walls which show
to full advantage the artistic effect
of the orange-and-bla hanging and
the orange-covered couch and easy
chair. Another interior has q white
enameled built-in dressing table, with
handles of glass and chromium. Part
Of the wall is panelled in white leather,
which covers also the chaise lounge
and comfortable modern boudoir
chair. A blue painted ceiling, blue
carpet and blue-piped upholstery, to-
gether with glass and metal dressing
table fitments, provide effective ac-
cents.
Tan is the color of the painted walls
of comfortable living room in which
modern furniture with light oak fin
ish Is featured. A dining room has a
daring decorative scheme of black
walls. In another interior the popu-
lar white painted walls appear, one
wall built of translucent glass bricks.
This setting enhances the maccassar
ebony sideboard and table, with glass
panels in the top to provide iIlumina-
ton for centerpiece and pottery
figure.
The new vogue for walls Of different
colors Is seen in living room. The
walls Of this room-up to the jog of
the fireplace chimney-are painted
terra Gotta; the rest Is cream color.
This makes the room look larger as
well as adding interest to the wall. A
sun room adjoining has a black rub
Der flooring with walls painted in deep
heliotrope and couch upholstered in
a gay yellow rough-textured fabric
