NEW YORK, November 3o.-A new
code Of laws for duplicate contract
bridge was promulgated today by the
American Bridge League, the Ameri-
can Whist League and the United
States Bridge Association. It is ef-
fective Monday and will be used for
the first time In the tournament of
the American Bridge League starting
in Chicago Monday.
Since the laws of rubber bridge we're
changed last March duplicate has been
played under tentative code, which
in the main is the basis of the final
code approved by the three major
bridge organizations.
Perhaps the only change in the du-
plicate code from the rubber laws, other
than the changes positively necessi-
tated by the differences in the two
games" says the introduction to the
code, "is the elimination of the count

Bid Of Eight Banned.
A bid OF eight is possible under cir
cumstances In rubber bridge. It is for
hidden in the duplicate code.
If in the opinion of tournament
director the bidding or playing conven-
TORS OF pair are so complicated as
to place an undue burden upon the
opponents. he may bar the use of such
conventions. Any conventions widely
known, however, are permitted.
The duplicate code seeks to prevent

advantage to the offending side.
In the case Of an insufficient bid, has,
tily corrected by the offender, the code
provides that the first bid is void; the
correction may be condoned, in which
case there Is no penalty. or the insufh-
cheney may be penalized.
Culbertson Wages Fight.
The code was drafted by a national
laws and rules committee representing
the three leagues and consisting Of
William E. McKenney, chairman: Rus

Well, Bill figured right on that Jim
had some other babe and that he
was just stringing Lii along, so he
made up his mind to do something
he'd never done before. 1t took him a
long time to decide, but about he
called up Lii, disguised his voice by
trying to talk very deep like Jim, and
asked her to meet him (Jim) at the
corner Of Eighth and Main at
o'clock. He was sort of shaking when
he hung up, but tried to console him
self for telling such a whopper on the
theory that it would teach Lii a les
son and, when she saw what a liar
and two timer Jim was, she'd appre-
ciate an honest man.
He couldn't resist being in on 1t, 90
he got over there little before and
stood in doorway near the corner.
Pretty soon he saw Jim come along
and look around. Then he went
over to the curb where there was a
fellow sitting in car.

car. She sure is little beaut. !

as well buy her from you tonight"
With that he got in the car and
drove of with his friend. About a
second later Lii appeared. Bill didn't
know what to do, but after she'd stood
around a while he went over to her.
"Lil, it wasn't Jim who phoned
you, it was me. wanted to see you
and you said lie in a good cause

Wheat Rust Loss Low.

CTEM rust and leaf rust, two Of the
- most destructive enemies Of wheat,
have been of relatively little damage
this year. Winter wheat crops have
come through without much loss, al
though the soft types have been some
what more the victim Of the infesta-
tions than the harder varieties. Okla
homa, Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska
have been the principal centers in
which the rust has been prevalent.
In the Spring wheat area, traces OF
stem rust have been found In Eastern
South Dakota, Western Minnesota and
as far North as Fargo, N. OAK. How
ever, the disease Is no more prevalent
than at this same period during the
average year. Development Of stem
rust, now that the first infection has
occurred, will be governed by moisture
and temperature conditions during
the remainder of the growing season.
Considerable late seeding in the
Spring wheat area, together with the
abundance Of moisture during late
May and June, has been favorable to
the development of stem rust. How
ever, eradication of barberry bushes,
the intermediate host of grain rust, is
materially reducing the number of
local sources Of stem rust in the Spring
wheat States, and resistant varieties Of
grain are more generally grown than
in former years. Observations during
the past week indicate that the gen.
eral movement of rust from South to
North is more rapid than usual. even
though weather conditions in the Up
per Mississippi Valley have been no.
ticeably favorable to rust development.
Many observers are likely to con-
fuse leaf rust with stem rust. Leaf
rust. disease of wheat entirely differ
ent from stem rust, overwintered abun-
dainty on Fall-sown wheat in the
Ohio and Missouri River Valleys, and
at the present time is prevalent on
Winter wheat from Ohio west to Ne
braska. Although severe epidemics Of
leaf rust reduce yield, and to some ex-
tent affect quality Of the harvested
grain, the amount of damage under
field conditions is difficult to measure
and usually Is not disturbing factor
in total production. Because of the
prevalence Of leaf rust this year in
the Winter wheat area, the disease
may be expected to cause some
damage.

Bill was all upset, trying to figure
what had happened to her. When I

Just said:
But it was true that blue doesn't
look very well on Lii and the collar
was sort Of funny. I couldn't lie to
her" And he was dead serious.

but he just couldn't tell a lie. Things
weren't going any too well even before

You see, Jim took to Lii right away.
He wasn't afraid to tell her how swell
she looked or how brainy she was
right in front Of people and you can
hardly blame her for giving him more
and more time. That meant she was
giving Bill less and less. He couldn't
miss what was going on, Of course,
and 1t sure got him down.
One day he asked her for a date
that night.

he said hopefully.
Sure you wouldn't be ashamed to
be seen out with a dope like me?" Lii
asked.
Now there was his chance, but he
just stood and looked at her sort of
puzzled.
'Dope?"
yeah, you know-not very smart.

wear decent clothes, who gets a per-
manent when her hair looked better

on other peoples feet when they're
dancing, who"
why, Lii! That's ridiculous"
She looked up pleased.
Sometimes you wear very pretty
things and your hair doesn't look any
worse with a permanent than other
girls-you wouldn't like me to lie to
you, would you?"
YES" she snapped, land what's
more, I have date for tonight and
one for tomorrow night"
1t never occurred to Honest Abe
that she might be lying to him Just to

it was all in the life of an adventurer.
Edward tried to smile. He succeeded
fairly well. Mary tried to smile, too.
It was total failure.
The evening was q long evening.
Everybody knew Mr.. Edward Brent,
and it was strange indeed to see him
about with a jittery girl like Mary.

he was dancing with some one who

place was mad with excitement as the
guests, men and women, tumbled over
one another to get to the exits. The
tiger was beginning 10 slowly wag its
tail.
Edward saw there was one who
stood calmly. She was staring into
the tigers eyes, and fascinated the
tiger stared back at her. And that
one was Mary. Edward knew her
again. There was again that color
in her cheeks, that flash In her eyes
that she had when he first met her.
Edward at bound was at her side.
He had a chair in his hand. The
tiger swayed from side to side and
backed away. Just then the keepers
came in. They led the escaped tiger
away.
There was no one on the dance
floor now but Edward and Mary. He
turned toward the girl and took her
hand.
''I understand now" Edward said,
and he put his arm around her, and
she was not afraid.

M sort of guy who, when his boss
asked him to play golf with
\ him, actually played his best
and won. And, Of course, after that
he didn't get that promotion he'd been
expecting. It was tough on old Bill,
too, because he had some girl he was
crazy to marry and he wanted the
extra money and all to impress her
with.
That was the trouble with Bill. He

bad, too, because he was a real good

The girl was sitting up, too. She
looked a bit dazed. But her face,
glowing with excitement, was the most
beautiful thing that Edward ever had
seen.
I'm so sorry" the girl gasped as
she sat there in the snow. This Is
the first time I've ever been on skis
and I just didn't know what to do
once I got on them. /"
Edward got up, then helped the
girl to her feet and they brushed the
snow from themselves. Now, after
the first flush of excitement the girl
kept her eyes turned from him.
I'm so sorry, Mr.. Brent she said.
OF course she would know him, even
If he didn't know her. Edward did
not know more than half the guests
at his private grounds, where he had
one of the largest privately owned
ZOOS in the country. People just came
and brought other people with them.
Especially at time like this-just
after Edward had returned from one
of his hunting trips in the African
jungleS and had brought several new
animals back with him.

don't think I've met you. So many
people come, you see. But really

Still she did not look up at him.
Edward did not understand it at all.
She had seemed so careless and exu-
berant such a few minutes before.
I'm Mary Bordon," she mumbled.
"I'm here with my aunt, Mrs. Pear
son."
"Oh. yeS-I know Mrs. Pearson
very well. But she's never said
word about you. Strange the things
people will keep secret, isn't it? But
we should become better acquainted.

and logged awkwardly away on her
skis. Edward scratched his head.
Edward didn't recognize Mary 40
she came down to meet him that
evening. She couldn't have been the
same girl. He had asked her aunt,
Mrs. Pearson. about her.
"Oh, yes, Mary!" Mrs. Pearson had
said. "She is such a difficulty. Her
