Solution to Previous Contract Problem

The earliest, and perhaps the most
interesting Of the Sims theories first
introduced to contract by that great
card player, p. Hal Sims, and gen.
orally used by tournament players
throughout the country today, was his
no trump theory.
We all realize that, to make game
at no trump, you must have q suit
that will establish in one round and
protection against long suit Of your
opponents. Therefore, until the holes
are blocked, 1t Is not wise to bid one
no trump originally unless you hold
an exceptionally powerful hand.
I want to get you straight on this
particular pcint-when your partner
opens with one no trump, any re-
Spouse that you make IS forcing. II
you hold an exceptionally weak suit,
take out with two Of that suit as
North does today.
OF course, that two diamond re-
Spouse may be weakness or semi
strength, but, remember, 1t Is forcing
to your partner.
Now II South were to respond with
two no trump, North bids three dia-

Doctors know the value OF the

LABOR WINS VICTORY

Monday is Labor day, dedicated to
the cause of the working man.
On the eve of its arrival organized
labor is in the spotlight of national
interest.
Today it is ordering over half a
million men and women in the tex
tile unions to strike. The number
may be closer to million before
the weekend has passed. 1t is, IN
numbers, the largest strike to be
called in many year.
Coincident with it comes announce
ment that the famous Section IA"
of the National Recovery Act, has at
last been interpreted by the National
Labor board.
It's decision recognizes the right of
the majority of workers to represent
labor in collective bargaining, point
bitterly opposed by many industries:
If there is labor dispute, vote of
the workers is to be taken.
On the decision Of the majority
rests the course to be followed. If So
called company unions" have the
necessary voting strength, they will
represent labor in the dispute. If the
organized labor union exceeds In
numbers, it will be the recognized
voice Of labor.
The decision is hailed as tremen-
dous victory for the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, the largest organi-
zation of workers in the country.
1t also reverses a decision made by
President Roosevelt in the automo-
bile strike last spring, when he or
dered that membership on collec-
tive bargaining group should be pro
rated among the labor bodies rep
resented
The meaning of Section TAP has
not hitherto been decided. 1t has
been opposed by industry and decis-
ion on it has been side-stepped by the
administration several times in re-
cent months.
The decision brings the issue out
into the open and does not, by any
means, end dispute over the section.
1t is likely to be a matter of con-
troversy for long time to come.
Organized labor, in spite of the
strike it has called, which will mean
distress to many Of its members, may
well celebrate Labor day joyously as
a result of the decision on Section
IA"

Here, Buster None CT that!
Don't you dare do it,
There stood Uncle Wiggily, the

boys. He had come up behind them
and had heard all they said. Bust
er looked surprised Custer was
glad he hadn't started to Jump in,
Don't do anything as silly as
that, Buster said Mr.. Longears.
"T only wanted to have some
fun said Buster, chewing a bit
of seaweed, thinking, in his con-
fusion, that it was lettuce.
TT isn't any fun" said his father,

heavy and you might be drowned

ter. They fly away if you so much
as wave a paw at them"
They aren't brave, are they,
Daddicums?" asked Custer.
We'll, 1 don't know about that"
spoke Mr.. Longears slowly. Il have
seen even very small birds, such as
wrens, act very bravely at times"
How can bird be brave?" asked
Buster. They're SO silly and little.
You could bat one over with

Eyes. bird isn't very strong"
said Uncle Wiggily; "at least the
birds we have around here. OF
course, eagles and hawks and a
South American bird called a Con-
dor-they are very strong and
fierce. But even a robbin may be
brave and strong, too-as strong
as you'd expect of robin"
"I guess that robin has a nest
up in that tree" said Buster as
they walked along. He pointed to
where the robin had flown up to
2 branch. The robin held worm
in its beak to feed the little birds.
Suddenly a cat began sneak
ing along in the rush grass toward
the scrub pine tree, in which was
the birds nest.
Now watch that robin fly away
from the cat said Custer
But instead of flying away from
the cat the robin flew right at
the tabby puss. With loud, sharp
sries, the robin darted at the
cat and, flutting its wings wildly
made peck after peck at the cat
with it's sharp beak. Then the
nipped cat. with a frightened
yoWl. turned and ran.
what made the robin SO brave
as to fight the cat who was so
much bigger?" asked Buster
Because his father answered,
"the robin wanted to save its little
birds. 1t even risked its life to do
this. Most times a robin will fly
away from cat. But when ro-
bin has little ones 1t is brave
Just think of that" murmured
Buster and Custer. And next, If the
breadknife doesn't get too proud
and stuck up because it is asked
to cut the chocolate cake, you
shall hear about Uncle Wiggily and

WASHINGTON, Sept. Henry
Morgenthau secretary of the trea-
sury has received sheaf of
congratulatory messages On his
speech about government finances,
and he may receive a vastly larg-
er bulk of another kind of letters
yet.
If he does, it cannot be said
that he didn't ask for them, for
here was his own invitation:
IF after listening to my talk
you have any detailed questions
regarding what I said, hope you
will feel free to write to me-"
Morgenthau's address, which de-
cidedly was not inflationary, never
the-less brought up that much
discussed subject again. All such
questions have been met with one
of the secretarys own:
What is inflation?"
Observers tried to reconcile this
question answering a question with
Morgenthau's invitation for ques-
tions.

The number of those returning

sumes its regular channels.
This year the turn should be more
marked than is usually the case The
summer has been stamped by sew
ere drought, which appears to have
reached its low point and we may ex-
pect a gradual return to normal
weather conditions.

 Other nations, however, includ- ing England and France, will be absent again in the debt payments, due today. Finland's paymen t means the receipt of about one cent on every $20 owed.

Senate Committee to De eide Whether to Dis

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.- The secret plan in possession of the United States Army, designed to mobilize industry in event of an- other war, engaged the attention of the Senate Munitions Committee
 An executive meeting has been called by the investigators to decide whether the public disclosure of the plans and details will ieopardize National defense.
 Military strategists contend 1t will.
 There are indications that Sec retary of War Dern has promised the committee complete access to the Departments secret plans but declined to accept responsibility for their disclosure.
 Some foreign governments are said to have shown much interest in this phase of the investigation owing to the possibility that some thing of military value to them might come to light.
 The Committee has been told that under the mobilization plan industry has already arranged to forego inflated war profits. The Committee members say the Army plans do not take the profits out of war but make large profits for industrial organizations possible.

PORTLAND, Oregon, Dec. 15.- Joseph Osbourne, Special Police Of- ficer, is detained and being grilled about the robbing and staying of Simon Mish, aged 10 years, retired furniture dealer, whose bachelor quarters have been the scene of many gay parties.
 The body of Mish, together with that of his pet dog, was found sev- eral days ago in a pond in the rear of his home. His head had been crushed, and his dog killed in a similar manner.
 Explanations Sought
 Chief of Detectives Jack Keefe said Osbourne is asked to explain a cut on hand, also about blood spattered on his flash light, bloody blanket in his auto, two hairs on the butt of his revolver and his activities on the night of last Tuesday, also the reason for sending his uniform to cleaners the next day when blood was re- moved from the clothing.
 Denies Staying
 Osbourne denied the staying but admitted he was acquainted with Mish and was with the aged man last Monday night and had cou- pie of drinks with him.
 Checking Story
 Officers are also checking Os- bourne's story that his hand was cut Tuesday night when three men beset him.
 Chief of Detectives Keegan said whoever killed Mish cut his hand or arm on the window in the rear door of Mish's house, while gaining
