WASHINGTON, Dec. 1-lP-With

entered Saturday the month in
which he viii make a decision re-

one Of the most momentous ever TO
face a chief executive.
Whether TO call on Congress 70

Sharply Divided Issue
Il is an issue that sharply divides
the citszenry, the economists, and
even authoritative sources say
the very cabinet itself.
Two Of the foremost advocates OF
the spending = for : rehabilitation
idea, Secretary Harold L. Ickes pub
lie works administrator, and Harry
L. Hopkins, federal emergency re-
lief administrator planned to thresh
out their suggestions with the chief
executive before the log fireplace at

Relief Maps Progress
Hopkins plan for a federal work

priation Of s 8 5000. 600 900 to S9.000,-

Ickes, who. like Hopkins. eX-
presses little confidence IN the
ability Of private industry to solve
the employment problem quickly,
leaves tomorrow for Warm Springs
with a plan to expand public works.
Though he was keeping the figure
a close secret. usually well-inform-

good guess as to what he has IN

TOO many persons rely on
l. fnesse to make their hand for
them. Take for example today's
hand-many players will look at it
and say, well, if the spade flnesse
works, can make six odd"
But suppose the spade finesse
does not work? Don't wait until the
hand is over to say that.
AS soon as the dummy goes down,
it is best for you to go still further
and say, IF it fails, can 1 still make
my contract?"
Today's hand is not a difficult
play, but one, in which all you have
to do is to eliminate two suits from
your hand and dummy's so that,
when your f1nesse does fail, your OPP
ponent will have to help you with
the hand.
II AST'S overcall of three dia-
H monds is rather dangerous
When South bids three hearts, he
informs his partner that he can not
take care of the losing diamonds.
1t looks to South, when his part
ner goes to four hearts, that North
must have control of the diamond
suit, and if this is true, there is a
chance for a slam.
So South makes the slam try
with bid of five hearts North,
holding the ace of diamonds and
the queen of clubs, is justified in
going to six, as he holds the ace of
his partners suit.
INVESTS opening lead was the
w nine of diamonds-the top of
his partners Suit-which the de-
clarer won in dummy with the ace.
South Immediately led two rounds
of hearts, which picked up the out
standing trump.
Now small club was won in
dummy with the queen, a club re-
turned and won with the King.
The losing diamond then was dis
carded from dummy on the ace of

men, even among the nobility have
been known to make excellent and
conisderate husbands; there is prob
ably no country in Europe whose
divorce rate is as high as that OF
the United States.
The marriage of convenience need
not be a disreputable affair or one
which brings dishonor on either
bride or groom. In Europe it is an
old and venerable tradition; and you
might have a hard time explaining
to a Frenchman, say, why it is
deSpicable for man to fall in love
with his wife after marriage rather
than before.
If the alliance was a completely
suitable one and the couple were
sincere in their desire to pool the
social prestige of the one with the
millions of the other, why shouldn't
they live in utter harmony?
Yet, when an American heiress
marries a titled foreigner, they
rarely do.
The answer, perhaps, can be
found in the fact that few Amer
leans ever really take a title serious
1y. The girl who has been educated
in this country in surroundings of
great wealth takes money seriously.
Mercy, yes! 1t is the yardstick by
which her father and his friends
measure their own value. 1t means
power and comfort and being bet
ter looking than girls who can not
afford the best hair dresser or the
subtlest dressmaker in the world.
Money Above All
Money, to an American heiress, is
something which enables her TO
have everything her spoiled little
heart desires. And if she wants a
tit'a. why that is only supplement
tary luxury, like private car.
The man with the title probably
feels quite differently. For he, you
see, has been brought up to place
the greatest emphasis on blood. He
believes that the fact that his an
cestorS we're heroes in the twelfth
century is so much more important
than the. exploits of any self-made
to compare them.
He may quite sincerely feel that
in bestowing his patents of nobility
on a woman of commoner blood he
is doing her an inestimable honor.
He likes to get the money, too, of
course. But lack of money to such
a man is an inconvenience, not
blow at his self-esteem. That is
rooted far more deeply in his pride
of race.
Title System Might Help
When poor rich girl from the
United States marries a prince
and hands him a handsome dowry
she feels that she is bringing the
lions share in her contribution to
the marriages success. And he, of
course, feels pretty condescending
over taking the pretty little upstart
into his ancestral halls. That leads
to trouble.
If our American girls will persist
in hankering after the nobility much
heartache and misunderstanding
might be spared by setting up a
system of awarding titles here
A homegrown duke could con-
tract match with 4 millionaire's
daughter with perfect compre-
hension, on both sides, of Just how
great a contribution each was max
ing to the match.
The marriage of convenience idea
might bear transplanting to America
and might work better than the hit
or-miSS method of romance. But
you must base such a marriage on
mutual respect-if either bride or
groom begins to patronize the others
offering. mark my word, the printer
may begin to set the type for an
other juicy story of international
divorce
