House and Senate leaders
moved swiftly today to unite op-
posing Congressional factions
behind a soldiers bonus bill &C.
ceptable to President Roosevelt.
Determined to capture the vet

presidential election, Democratic
officials are anxious to enact a
measure that will not run foul
Of a White House veto.
Fearful that bonus legislation
can be passed over the Presi-

in both chambers consider it
wiser politically, to draft a bill

Senator Harrison CD Of Mis-

Finance Committee which handles
bonus legislation, indicated he
would seek to work out a COM

of conferences between various
veterans blocs and Mr.. Roosevelt.
Senate: Harrison said:
I'VE should put this bonus
question behind us at the COM

be able to adjust all differences
between Congress and the White

Let Jane Jordan help you with your
explanatory letter today!
Dear Jane Jordan-I have four
brothers and one sister. I am the
third oldest child. My mother shows
much favoritism. Part Of the time she
will not even answer my questions
which are important to a girl of 16.
1 seldom go out on dates and when
I do she accuses me of doing things
that are wrong. I do not smoke,
drink or go in for heavy petting.
Please try to help me out by telling
me what 1 shall do.
I have another problem. I have
known a fellow for a long time and
he comes to see me about one or
two nights a week, but never asks
me to go out with him. However,
he does take my friends out. Do you
think my family reactions have any
thing to do with his not taking me
any place? Also please tell me what
time a girl my age should get in at
night and when she should start
going steady.
SWEET SIXTEEN.
Answer-Each new generation
always has its struggles with the
preceding generation, and 1 know
Of no way to solve the problem.

dom. Teach her to trust you if
you can.
The wise parent gradually in
creaSeS the child's freedom as it
grows older and lets it lean more
and more on its own Judgment.
When this procedure has been fol-
lowed from infancy, we do not
find a child in the state of revolt
against parental authority which
your letter shows. The old
system of guarded girls is out Of
orders but your mother will never
reconcile herself to this fact.
Courtesy and dependability on
your part will do more to con-
vert her than ructions.
Perhaps if you gave your boy
friends a little competition he
will exert himself more to stay
in your good graces. I doubt if
your family situation has anything
to do with his failure to take you
out. 1t is simply that he spends
his money on those girls which
demand it and while away his
idle time with one who makes no
demands.
There is no set time at which
a girl of Is should be IN at night.
1t depends upon the circumstances
and who she is with. AS a gen.
eral rule she should come home
early and not expose herself to
unkind gossip. Never 60 steady
until you have found the man
you wish to marry. The purpose
of dates is to let boys and girls
get acquainted. The wider &C
quaintance you have, the better.
Dear Jane Jordan-I am a girl
of %, living all alone, and I don't
know any young people. I just
work all day, come home and spend
my evenings alone, but I would en-
JOY having a true friend, for life is
very lonely. How would you sug-
geSt for me to meet people when ]
no one? LIVING ALONE.
Answer-If you want to meet
people, you Will have to go where
people are. Why don't you change
your residence to a boarding house
for girls, like the Y. w. c. A? I
have doubt there are many others
if you will take the trouble to in
quire. Always remember it is
through your girl friends that you
meet the boys. Take the trouble
to win q popular girl and she will
invite you to her parties. An
other thing you can do is to be

some one will invite you to his

y y Il
Dear Jane Jordan-About two
weeks ago I met a fellow at a dance.
We had a date and got to drinking
AS I am not used to it, I made a
regular fool of myself. Now he has
a terrible opinion of me as he is
not the type who runs around a lot,
I tried to apologize but he just
simply ignored me. When I see
him he acts decent enough but !
know what his thoughts are. What
can I do to change his mind?
BLUE.
Answer-If you never repeat
the performance, perhaps it will
dawn on him that he took out an
inexperienced girl, after all. Now
that you know you can't drink
without losing your self-control,
don't do it. A bad first impress
sion can be lived down.

Contract Bridge

West pair, who are careless and
allow the contract to be made,
should be criticized.
XXTHEN West opens with the
w king Of diamonds, East must
figure, Il certainly do not think
South has three losing diamonds and
I know he must have the ace of
hearts or the ace of clubs to justify
his bid. If 7 let my partners king
of diamonds hold, he probably will
continue with the queen and South
might ruff the second diamond.
Il think the best chance I have
to defeat this contract is to over
take my partners king with the
ace and lead my singleton club. BY
this play my partner will read it
as a singleton and, if he holds the
C of clubs, he will give me a ruff.
Then, if South has another dia-
mond, I will get another ruff and we
will defeat the contract two tricks
Now, if you look at the hand,
you will find that that is the way
it will work out.
A little thought behind the play
and the contract is defeated. But
if you play mechanically, letting
West cash his king and queen Of
diamonds and then play the jack,
the declarer will trump the third
diamond.
He will then lead the ace of
hearts, and now he must lead the
king of hearts and trump this good
trick in dummy, as he can e that
the only chance he has to make his
contract is to find East with the
king of spades.
So, if the opponents make a mis-
take and the declarer does a little
thinking, his contract can be made.
