worthy of congressional investiga-
tiOnS-no less.
No bunch of women ever would
have taken Wirts worries serious
ly, except perhaps our D. A. RS
The Ladies Aid Society, you
may be sure, would not have done
SO. And the Doctor himself is no
unnier than his Investigators. The
spectacle of the august gentleman,
faced with vast and fateful tasks,
occupying themselves with the
secondhand conversation of cock
tails and dining is one of the most
diverting the gentlemen have
ever afforded us.
Lord, any of us could scare up
revolution every twenty minutes
if we used that method. The re-
marks we gather here, there and
yonder about the brain trust,
NRA, General Hugh Johnson, the
A. F. of L., to say nothing of the
senate itself, would reduce Dr.
Writ to state of utter panic, and
no doubt give congress a chill.
These poor frightened men have
got to learn to take their gossip
with dash of salt.

FUR MISSING FROM
COATS FOR SPRING

Ordinary furs have taken a back
seat in this springs fashions. Scores
of coats are designed without any
fur trimming, many of them hav-
ing high, collarless lines or big out
standing fabric revers. Striking
scarves or cravats are often worn
with them.
Leopard, panther and ragondin, a
fur which resembles beaver, appear
in some striking trims, however.
Richly spotted leopard makes the
bold revers on a greige tweed coat,
while panther and ragondin line the
three-quarter length capes of wool
ensembles.

Solution to PreviOus
Contract Problem
BY w. e. M'KENNEY

Secretary American Bridge League
THE earliest, and perhaps the
Il most interesting of the Sims
theories first introduced to contract
by that great card player, P. Hal
Sims, and generally used by tourna-
ment players throughout the coun-
try today, was his no trump theory
We all realize that, to make
game at no trump, you must have a
suit that will establish i'll one round
and protection against a long suit
OF your opponents. Therefore, I'M
til the holes are blocked, it 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 point when your part
ner opens with one no trump, any
response that you make is forcing.
If you hold an exceptionally weak
suit, take out with two of that suit
as north does today.
Of course, that two diamond 1e-
spouse may be weakness or semi
strength, but, remember, it is fore
ing to your partner.
Now if south were to respond with
two no trump, north bids three dia-
monds and says, II have a weak suit
and no entries in my hand. Even
though you do establish the dia-
monds you will not be able to get
into my hand"
AVER North's bid of two dia-
~ monds, East steps in with two
spades. Naturally South-not be-
ing ulnerable-knows that if his

NEW YORK, October 25.-A Stein
is a Gertrude is a poet on Wednes-
day at a pier at a pier.
In other words: Gertrude Stein,
poet of the modern or suffering school,
whose effusions from her atelier In
Paris have had the literate world by
the ears and often holding its sides, is
home again after 81 years.
No Answer to No Question.
Her most profound contribution on
her arrival from France today was the
cryptic query:
Suppose no one asked a question:
What would be the answer?"
And no one knew the answer to that
one.
Miss Stein arrived on the liner
Champlain with her companion and
secretary, Alice B. Toklas. Miss
STEMS latest book was called The
Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas,
though she wrote it herself.
Last season her strange opera, -Four
Saints in Three Acts" was produced
in New York and afforded something
of a Roman holiday for the literati.

But 1t is for her poetry that Ger
trude Stein is most renowned. Here is
a sample, though it is from the opera: ::

day awaiting removal to Lorton Re-

two-to-fouryear prison term i'm
posed on him in District Supreme
Court yesterday after he had pleaded
guilty to two indictments charging
embezzlement.
Sentence was imposed by Justice
Oscar r. Luhring after listening to
a plea for leniency from Attorney
Richard Wexford, who said he ap-
peared as friend of Landreau's. The
latter told the court he lost the stolen
money specializing.
The indictments charged him with
embezzling a total of approximately
$l3 500 from the estates of Vincent

DEAL IS DEFENDED
BY VAN SWER|NCEN
Rail Magnate Testifies on
Bond Sale in Trial
of Mutt.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CLEVELAND, Ohio, october $50.
P. Van Sweringen, railroad magnate,
testified in Federal Court today that
he did not know what the Union
Trust Co. proposed to do with $l0,-
600 900 in Government bonds which
he sold the bank September 20. 1881.
The witness, one of the brothers
who created a railroad empire, sp-
peared in behalf Of Joseph r. Mutt,
former board chairman, and Wilbur
M. Baldwin, former president Of the
bank, in their trial on charges Of
fraud.
The Government contends the sale
was for the purpose of window dress
ing" the banks statement of condi-
ton. A Government witness testi-
fled yesterday that Mutt. one time
treasurer of the Republican National
Committee, admitted the transaction
had been made to keep the fires
burning"
Also Under Indictment.
Van Sweringen's testimony today
was considered significant in that he
is under indictment in State courts
as an alder and abettor to Mutt and
Baldwin in the alleged window
dressing" transaction.
Testifying that his business today
Is railroads, largely" Van Sweringen,
who is president of the Van Sweringen
Corp, said he had been in business
"ever since I was H."
The witness said Mutt approached
him 10 days before the bonds we're
sold and requested the sale.
My recollection" said Van Swerin-
gen, lis that he asked if we would be
willing to sell him these bonds. He
knew we had them and some other
bonds. I said we would be willing
provided we got fair price for them,
which. in my Judgment, was the mar
ket price"
Holds Action Unusual.
The witness testified that later Mutt
asked him to deposit the proceeds of
the sale in the bank
This was unusual" Van Sweringen
continued. since we usually spread
big deposits. However, Mr.. Mutt Of
fered at the same time to pledge the
bonds as security for the deposit and
to pay the same rate of interest on the
deposit as was paid on the bonds.
agreed to that"
The securities were resold to the
Van Sweringen Corp. nine days after
they were acquired by the bank. The
defendants contend the transaction
was legitimate.

There is more, but it's personal; II
it's all the same to you.

The title of the book is The New

But our reportorial day of compen-
sation is not quite come The date of
publication of the book is next Satur-

Speaking of books, as we insist upon
doing, the committee of the Nation S

Still another is-but we mustn't be a
