Many players are under the impress
sion that, II they can get a bid in, they
can interfere with their opponents
and prevent them from arriving at
the proper contract. Do you know
that aimless overcalls are more often
an aid to your opponent than q de-
triment?
In the first place, as soon as you
overcall. 1t warns them that they
must account for the losers In that
suit before they go far with their
bidding. Unless your suit Is solid.
it may work out to the advantage of
the declarer. when your partner op-
ems that suit because you have bid
It.
The Bidding
While North has weak four-card
suit. his hand Is not strong enough to
make an original bid of one no trump;
he must open his best four
card suit.
South's bid OF two hearts is simply
q chance-giving bid. North showed
that he held four-card suit origin

D. c. FOOD PRICES
UP o. PCT. MORE
Eight Pct. Over Two Years
Ago-NationaI Figure Is
Highest Since 1881.

Food prices in Washington gained
another 0.2 per cent in the last month,
and are now 81 ABOVE year ago and
8 per cent higher than two years ago,
according to the Bureau of Labor
Statistics bulletin issued today.
For the country at large, retail food
prices reached the highest level since
December Is, 1881. Figures were COM
piled for 81 cities and covered A items
of food in greatest common demand.
For the same amount of food that
an American housewife could have
gotten for ST in 1918, she had to pay
Sill during the first two weeks of
this month, the Labor Department
reported today. Prices still were 30.5
per cent below their 1926 average,
however.
The departments index showed an
accumulated rise of slightly more than
per cent since April "a, when the
present increase began.
The low point in recent years came
April Is last year, when 80 cents
bought the same amount of groceries
that 81 bought in 1918.
THE effect of the drought upon

said, "is shown by an SO per cent rise

LONDON, August 29.-England well

Announcement that George, 32-
year-old, fourth son of the King,

the first in the royal family in IL
years, was quickly forthcoming.
Marina, who is 27, has one qualifi-

speaks English perfectly, and has
spent much time in this country.

daughter of Prince and Princess
Nicolas of Greece, to which union the
King has gladly given his consent"

pending strike. They know
something
Their figures Of stocks on hand are
never made public, but are circulated
privately among leaders in the trade
These show that cotton textile manu-

supply demand for normal month.
In fact, their stocks are so high
that they mould probably haze

A. order curtdiling code prOduc-
ton had they not suspected

Furthermore, the old order curtail-
ing production expired Saturday. So
they have a week of unlimited pro-
duction now at hand before the strike
breaks. If they operate at capacity,
they can boost production 1913 per
cent above what it has been, thus
piling up additional stocks.
These manufacturing stocks are at
least equalled by additional stocks in
the hands of the garment makers,
dyers, retailers, ct al (The gray goods
include only those which have not yet
been dyed)
This means that, as far as the pub
lie is concerned. there is at least a
two months supply of cotton goods
at hand for the strike The price
probably will go up, but not very
much, unless the silk, woolen and
rayon workers also walk out. In that
possibility lies the main Importance
of the strike, both to the industry and

JAPAN TO DEMAND
NAVAL SHOWDOWN
Determined That Treaties
Shall Not Bind Her Beyond
December 81, 1886.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
TOXIC, August 29.-Japan is de-
termined that neither the Washing
ton nor the London naval treaties
shall bind her beyond December 81,
1886. the date Of their expiration,
foreign Office spokesman said today.
She is prepared to join other powers
in a scheme of naval limitation on
drastically changed basis which she
intends to propose at preliminary
conversations this Autumn in London.
If the powers show determination
to extend essentials of present COM
pacts, including Japan's position of
inferiority to the United States and
Great Britain, Toxic is ready to with
draw from the entire naval limita-
tions scheme, just as she withdrew
from the League of Nations 10 months
ago, the spokesman said.
Will Abrogate Treaty.
If London talks do not satisfy her
she will notify other nations that she
is abrogating the Washington treaty
at the first possible date.
Details of the Japanese plan for
limitation were not disclosed. Japa-
nese newspapers and many observers
said failure of the conference next
year is inevitable unless the present
5-5-3 ratio system is abolished and
more equality in armaments recog-
nized.
While reports reaching Toxic said
other powers favor poStponing the
hour of a decision on putting off the
1885 conference or extending pres
ent treaties for two years, the Japa-
nese government evidenced a de-
termination to call for an early show
down.
The spokesman asserted ''our pro-
posals will be drafted in accordance
with the spirit of disarmament and
for the purpose of curtailment of
ornaments.
Hope For Other Proposals.
1--WE hope other powers likewise will
present proposals at London which
can be discussed equally with ours"
the official continued.
Nevertheless, whether Japan abro-
gates the Washington treaty depends
upon how our proposals are received.
If favorably, indicating the powers
are ready to replace the Washington
treaty with a new and radically diff
ferent compact, abrogation may be
unnecessary.
IF they are hostilely received Japan
must abrogate That will be decided
after the results of the London talks
are known"
The spokesman refused to reveal
whether the program included the
principle of equality in tonnage among
the powers, asserting that is card

"The President was considered
very bad farmer. His estate suffered
prodigiously from the tendency of the
soil to gully, which cannot be pre-
vented on hilly ground. 1t is very
much promoted by the culture of In
dian corn. The slightest track opens
the way for a gully and ploughShare
dragged through a field may be the
commencement of chasm in which
houses afterwards may be buried.
One side of the hill upon which
Monticello stands has been so dis
figured in this way that they have
been obliged to scatter Scotch broom
seed over it, which has succeeded at
least in hiding the cavities.
More Sports in
Virginia Than Elsewhere.
"At Monticello I was present at
some of the national sports and
games, of which there are more in
Virginia than in any other State 1
have visited. Horse racing is carried
very far and gives rise to good
deal of gambling. Cock fighting is on
the decline but still exists here and
there. QuoltS and nlneplnS are mucn
in fashion. Barbecues are most
numerously attended. A barbecue is
a meeting in the woods at which pig
is roasted whole. There is always a
dance afterwards.
"A strong popularity of coun-
tenance seems to belong to the ma
jority Of Virginians. The eyeball
appears TO be larger and more drawn
under the eyelid than is observable
among their neighbors in the North
and gives them the appearance of
being blear-eyed. The nose has
greater breadth of bridge and is
thicker-nor have I ever observed so
great an interval as they exhibit be-
tween the nose and the mouth.

animated, and there is a heavy dull

Philadelphia Prison Officials
Keep Threat of "No Work,
No Eats"
BY the Associated Press.

PHILADELPHIA, August 29-More
than 1,100 convicts at the parent
branch of the Eastern State Peniten-
tiary went hungry at breakfast today
under the ultimatum of off1cials-in
effect: No work, no eats.
This punishment was decided on,
chiefly because the entire prison pop
ulation, except the kitchen men, re-
fused to work yesterday and remained
locked in their cells.
Only 100 of the inmates were fed
this morning, while the others were
missing their second meal. They had
been locked in their cells last night
without supper.
Seventeen alleged leaders of an up
rising late last night-which was sub
dued by tear gas and clubs-were
taken from their cells today and
placed in the prisons "Klondike," 4"
where they were given the ID. M.

Then they were returned to their own
quarters.
Meantime. virtual calm had re-
turned to the Graterford branch Of
the penitentiary, IS miles from the
city, where rioting convicts did $40, 900
damage in last Saturdays rebellion.
Under towers bristling with machine
guns, the prisoners left their cells for
the first time since Saturday, and
were marched to the dining room for
breakfast.
Last nights uprising in the solitary
confinement cell block at the Phila-
delphia branch was accompanied by
shouting and the throwing of blazing
newspapers into corridors. The dis
order was handled in the manner
Warden Herbert J. Smith had warned
the men he would deal with them.
Two of the noise-makers who
showed fight" were struck with riot
sticks and carried from their cells.
The tear gas quickly subdued the
others.

in a doorway, and in a recess at the
foot of the bed was horse with four
projecting hands on which hung his
coats and waistcoats and which he
could turn around with long stick,
a knicknack Jefferson was fond of
showing with other little mechanical
inventions. One was a sulky OH four
wheels with spring in the center,
very rough sort of carriage, but which
he preferred to any other as having
been made by an Irish mechanic at
Monticello under his own superintend-
ency. To praise this was a sure way
to pry him into Government favorS.
He had also got an odometer,
which was fastened on the axle-tree
of the sulky and would tell the num-
Der of miles gone over by the wheels.
It was contained in a box and looked
like a mariners compass. A blade
of iron, hooked at one end, projected
from the box upon the box of the
wheel and the hooked part, being
moved upward with each rotary mo-
ton, each time this occurred the
blade gave an impulse to an interior
small wheel, which again moved an
other which communicated with a

PERFECT ORGANIZATION.
Shouse, Smith and Du Pont Hold
Parleys in Gotham.

NEW YORK, August 30 R.-
Organization details of the American
Liberty League were perfected yester-
day through conferences Jouett Shouse,
president, held with former Gov.
Alfred E. Smith and Irenee du Pont,
members of the Executive Committee.
Withholding comment on President
RooSeVeltS statement on the league,
Shouse said his trip from Cape Cod
had been to organize the mechanics"
of the body, which has as its an
nounCed purpose the protection Of
constitutional liberty.
He said he held separate confer
ences with Smith, Democratic presi-
Dental nominee in 1928, and Du Pont,
wealthy Delaware manufacturer, who
was one of President Roosevelt's sup
porters in 1882.
Short Meeting Held.
The meeting with Smith lasted but
a few minutes and was devoted exclu-
sively to the large volume of mail the
former Governor had received since
the formation of the league, said
ShouSe.
He added that his brief talk with
Du Pont was along the same lines.
Shouse said no date had been set
for a meeting of the Executive Com
mittee, which will ultimately be in
creased to l8 members, but that it was
certain no meeting would be held until
after Labor day
There will be frequent private meet
ings of the Executive Committee in
this and other cities, he said, and in
addition to the Washington head
quarters. offices will be opened in New
York and other focal points.
He said his Washington staff is pre-
pairing membership blanks and organ
izing other details in connection with
the operation of the league.
There have been indications the
league will draw a distinction between
anti Roosevelt" and "anti-new deal"
in proclaiming no personal opposition
to the President.
