Conquering Contract
BY p. HAL SIMS.

improve their card playing. The same
play, or the reasoning leading to it,
may have a different value the next
time. 1t may then be the only play
to fulfill doubtful contract, and
unfamiliarity with the technique of
such play may cause you to muff it.
Or else this may happen. You have
correctly reached what appears. after
sight of dummy, to be a quite safe
easy contract Of four hearts.
If you are a tournament player, be-
fore you play to first trick you will
be planning how to play for five-odd,
or even six, without endangering the
contract of four. You will be playing
for five-odd from the start. If you
are rubber player contemptuous of
tournament addicts, you probably will
play the hand hastily, glad to have
an easy game and anxious, especially
if you are winning, to get the score
entered and pass on promptly to the
next hand. Now 1t develops that the
hand plays very unfortunately for you
The distribution against you is fiend-
ish. The essential suits will not break,
the illnesses fail, you are over-ruffed.
Any or all of these can convert COM
placency into defeat. The player who
was playing for five-odd from the
start can probably overcome these bad
breaks and make four-odd because
ne has already planned to play for
the maximum. The one who was
merely playing for the contradiction
the angle Of speed rather than safety
will usually find himself in a hope
less position when the unexpected dif-
hcultles begin to show themselves.

Lingerie Set Favored by Interesting Fabric
Inspires One to Indulge in Whim

A FASCINATING ensemble that

slightly misleading, since this is the
garment that most of us are depend
ing upon to keep us cool few
months from now, when the heat Is
bearing down upon us.
The brassiere is, to say the least,
brief but newsy. Instead of having a
back, we find straight band OF
elastic used as substitute. It is at
tached to the under-arm sections Of
the front and Is without an opening
you stretch it over the head and into
place. The absence of annoying
fastenings, when in a hurry, Is
great advantage Elastic is also fire.
quently seen, used as shoulder straps
in many of the new designs of lin
gerie. Ribbon, however, is considered
daintier, so we suggest using it.
The panties of this set are circular
in cut and the lace that edges them
Is supple enough not to add bulk or
show wrinkles through the dress.
This same model is frequently seen
with tailored bindings of contrasting
colors. The yoke fits nicely at the
waistline, and is closed down the side
with three buttons. The absence of
unnecessary seams makes it simple to
launder.
AS to materials-seldom, If ever,
have we had such an array Of inter-
esting fabrics to inspire us to indulge
our whims for fine raiment of this
sort. In popularity, satin continues
to lead. 1t is soft to the touch and

say it is a pleasure to take care of.

featuring praiseworthy needlework
1t can be found in all the desirable
faminine shades. That it is a luxury
cannot be denied, and there are many
women who feel repaid in comfort for
the amount of money (or time) they
spend on its upkeep.

Uncle Ray
Flying Adventures.
WrightS Fly,

~ 9TH Wilbur and Orville Wright
l. deserve high places among
heroes of the air" During
IL early years when the airplane
was beginning to point the
way toward something better than
balloons, they were in the front rank
and they were pilots as well as IN
ventors.
The flights of the Wright brothers
at Kitty Hawk, N. c., in 1908 were
not Official" but they are regarded
today as the first successful flights
in a power-driven airplane. During
the longest of the flights Wilbur
Wright covered a distance of 852 feet
and the flying time was SO seconds.
In 1904 and 1905 the Wright BROTH
ers made many other tests and flights
For a period they used a large COW
pasture not far distant from Dayton
Ohio. for their tests. the pasture being
rented to them after they had prom
ised not to disturb the cows!
One day in 1904 newspaper re-
porters were invited to watch a flight,
but the attempt ended in dismal
failure, and long time passed before
any one else was asked to be present
for a trial.
1t was not until 1908 that the
world at large came to know much
about the success Of the Wrights. In
that year Wilbur, elder Of the two
brothers, went to France to take part
in public tests.
BY this time several men in Europe
had made flights in airplanes Of their
own design. Santos-Dumont, the man
who flew around the Eiffel Tower in
1901 aboard an airship, had turned
to heavier -than-air machines, and in
1906 had made a public flight of 72O
feet in 81 seconds aboard biplane
which rose by its own power. Bleriot
had built a monoplane and had used
it for successful flights. one covering
more than quarter of q mile.
The Wright biplane which was taken
to France would not rise by its own
power. but a launching tower was set
up. and by means Of pulleys, ropes
and a falling weight, it was pushed
ahead fast enough to get off the
ground.
Some persons laughed about such q
method of launching a plane, but
there was a great chorus of praise
when Wright showed what his plane
could do after rising. On September
20, 1908, he made a flight which lasted
an hour and 81 minutes! 1t was not
croSs-country flight, being made In
circles; but it was enough to cause
people in Europe to hail him as the
greatest master of the air.
Meanwhile Orville Wright was max
ing public flights in the United States,
and between them the brothers proved,
on both sides of the Atlantic, that
they knew important secrets of the
art of flying.

M'NUTT RECORD
IS ASSAILED BY
FORMER JUDGE
State Government Failure,
Clarence Martin Tells
G. 0.P. Women.

Record of the Governor Paul v.
McNutt administration was assailed
by Clarence R. Martin in addressing
the Marion County Council Of Re-
publican women yesterday after
noon at the Claypool.
Judge Martin was defeated by the
Democrats for reelection to the
state supreme court.
He set forth seven points wherein
he declared the Democrats have
failed in state government. They
included: Reorganization placing
too great power in the hands of the
Governor; inefficiency and con-
fusion in unwieldy new depart
ments; failure to cope with crime
and criminals; political rape of the
bipartisan boards of charitable
and correctional institutions; con-
verting liquor control machinery
into lucrative political racket;
failure of new tax sources to relieve
the property tax burden, and lack of
economy in government.
Mr.. Martin would seek improve
ment by putting the Republicans
back in power in both state and
nation. He urged a liberalized Re-
publican program, but one not SO
radical as President Roosevelt's.
