in his second term in congress and
served for IL years as its ranking
Democratic member until ne was
made chairman when the Demo-
Gratis obtained control Of the seven

Upon elevation to the floor lead
ership Of the Seventy-third congress,
Byrns, OF course, had TO relinquish
the Craftsmanship and membership
of the appropriations committee. He
also has served for years as chair
man OF the Democratic national con-
g~ressional committee.
Commanding Presence
Byrns suggests n Lincolg or a
Jackson, with a presence thai would
be commanding in any group OF
men. Six feet, one and threequar-
ter inches tall. he towers above
most Of his co-workerS and compan-
ions. except his son, who reaches
skyward a whole inch over his fa-
Their. In all this height, ByrnS
packs only 1873 pounds OF muscle and
energy, giving him, at IS. the build
Of a man many years younger.
Byrns looks like a legendary figure

Tennessee political circles. He looks,
and to large extent Is, a clear type

In his career, Uncle joe ByrnS,

porous, tobacco-growing Robertson
county, which borders on Kentucky

Nashville Tennesseean

NASHVILLE, Tenn. Dec. TO-
The man with the bushy eyebrows"
That was the designation applied
to a tall. rsngy young Tennessee
lawyer back in e5 when he first
entered politics as a member Of the
Tennessee general assembly. and Il
is the designation by which his
home folk still affectionately know
him in the seven counties Of mid
die Tennessee which he has repre-
sentsd continuously since March,
1909. In congress.
The rangy young lawyer who first
began his career as a speaker IN
undergraduate debating societies at
Vanderbilt nearly half a century ago
and who now is looked upon as
having the best chance TO be speak

tatives is, Of course. Joseph yelling

from Tennessee" who represents the
Hermitage district Of that state, 50
named because 1t includes the Her

A Sons story
The story Is told by Representa-
tive Byrns' son that his father acci-
dentaIly acquired the extremely
shaggy eyebrows which have been
his distinguishing mark In ~caricature
ever since he first entered public
life. According 10 Joseph yelling
ton Byrns, Jr., Uncle Joe" as Byrns
is widely known. fell asleep as a
youth in a BARRIERS chair and awak-

and himself marked for life" That
is the story Of Joe Byrns, Jr., and

BY a coincidence, ByrnS began his
career as a lawyer in the office OF
John Wesley Gaines, political fire
eater Of those days IN Nashville,
whom Byrrs later defeated for con-
greSs in his first campaign for the
national legislative body.
Lawyer Byrns hung out his shin
gle in 1891 and at once began to get
interested IN politics. IL is prob
able that the cares OF his practice
did not take so much Of his time
then. Anyway. he then would rather
make a speech than eat. his con-
temporaries recalled. Few were
surprised when he was elected to
the Tennessee house OF representa-
tvs III 1895. -Four years later. in
1899. he was elected speaker az
the Tennessee house OF representa-
tives.
From this post. he advanced to
the Tennessee state senate for one
term.
Then. in 1902. he suffered his
first and, 10 date. only political
defeat at the ballot box. In that
year. he entered the race for at
torney general OF DAVIDSON county.
in which Nashville is situated.
WEEDS Home Girl
Nothing daunted. however. Byrns
attended aSsidUouSly 70 his Law
practice. especially since he now
was a young married man, having
been welded TO Miss Julia Wood
ard. also OF Robertson county. IN
1898. Although born IN the same
county. they were not childhood
sweethearts. not having met until
young Byrns was a fire-breathing
campus orator al Vanderbilt.
Although devoting his energies TO
his private practice Byrns did not
forget about politics and IN 1904
was chosen a democratic presiden-
tial elector.
Four years later, he startled the
political wiseacres Of Nashville by
announcing as a candidate for
congress against the supposedly in
vincible John Wesley Gaines. great
friend Of Byrns and for IA years a
democratic f~ire-eater in congress.
ByrnS candidacy was put down 70

first was not regarded too serious
ly. But Gaines found he had

have often heard beginners at contract remark, Well, if only my partner and I were in the bid ding, we would get to the right contract, but I never know just what to do when the opponents put in bid or two"
 The expert bidder will tell you that the opponents bids often help him, rather than hinder him. The bidding at contract, you know, is an auction sale. Each side is trying to buy the contract and it goes to the highest bidder.
 Therefore the more bids your op- ponents put in, the more you know about the product you are trying to buy.
 Your partner offers one spade, the opponents two hearts. Now, if you bid two spades. doesn't that carry a lot more weight than if the opponent had passed? Again, the opponents heart bid lets you know where your proba- ble losers are located. It may even allow you, later in the bid- ding. to get in cue bid, show ing no losers in that suit and in- viting a slam.
 In today's hand, South is justi- fled in bidding four hearts oyer, East's three heart bid, inviting the slam, because his partners bid of two spades, over two hearts. Is highly constructive. North shows whare his side strength is in bid of five clubs. It costs 1ith nothing to show his ace of diamonds. and North. having a it in diamonds.

Weddings

Naugatuck, Nov. 8-A very pret- ty wedding took place today at St. Francis church when Angeline Barbiero, daughter of MT. and Mrs. Julius Barbiero of 181 High street became the bride of Joseph Rue cio, son of MT and Mrs Anthony Ruccio of 162 High street.

The brides father, Julius Barbiero. well known local nlanu- facturer, gave the bride away in marriage. The ushers were Angus tine Barbiero, brother of the bride, and Anthony Celello, both of Nau- gatuck.
 The bride was attired in a le Long model of panne white satin gown with tight bodice, full skirt, terminated by long train insert ed with rose point lace, ruffed sleeves inserted with rose point lace, tulle veil and a rose point cap with sea pearls. She carried an arm bouquet of white roses and lilies of the valley.
 The bridesmaid was also pret- tily attired in a Florence red chif- ion velvet gown, with tight bod ice. full skirt with ruffed sleeves and accessories to match. She had an arm bouquet of bronze pom porls.
 The brides travelling attire con- sisted of a green tweed suit with squirrel trimmings and accessories to match.
 A reception was held in the af- ternoon at the Gloria and Plume lodge home. The couple left on a wedding trip and will reside at 46 Carroll street upon their return.
