621 GALLATIN ST. N. w.:
This was an interesting little
compact home, consisting Of six
rooms and bath, all newly dec
Grated, and two porches. The
kitchen was especially appeal
ing, as the walls we're of bright
colored sanitex, that marvellous
wall covering that can be
washed off so easily; a shining
new stove in green and yellow,
gayly / atterned linoleum, as
well as an electric refrigerator.
In the living room the lighting
fixtures were especially attrac-
tive, as they were reproductions
of the colonial type. Off the
dining room was a screened-in
porch where you have an ex-
cellent view of an immense
yard. The upper floor arrange.

rooms, a bath with tub and

Entering into a living room
graced by a huge stone fireplace
at one end Of the room, I was
Immediately thrilled with the
layout. Through an archway I
could see a dining room with
built-in corner cabinets, remi-
niscent of Colonial days, one in
each corner with a lovely ar
rangement of windows between.
Stepping through a doorway
found myself in a breakfast
room, which was very spacious
and well arranged. A veritable
dream of a kitchen came next,
where the housewife could prac-
tice her culinary art with every
possible convenience. One very
clever feature was the work
table connected with the sink.
Upstairs there were three bed
rooms, two of them being very
spacious. Off the master bed
room was a bath tiled in yellow
with the best looking blue fix
lures (my favorite colors) with
the cleverest triple mirror. An
other bath contained a shower
with a glass door (you know,
the kind you see in the movies
and have always wanted and
was also beautifully appointed.
An unusual and remarkable in
ducement is offered by the
house in the form Of the base

with a floor of Philadelphia
stone; a separate laundry room
that includes electric washing

How would you like a lovely
home adjoining Rock Creek

q seitz bath and built-in cabinet
which could hold the family lin

were two bedrooms, a store room

the house on the second floor
was a sleeping porch which

TRUNCATED SUITS

A TRUNCATED suit is solid
sequence of cards from which the
apex of a solid suit has been cut,
leaving K-Q-J Cor more, Q-J-10-9
or J-10-9-8, as the case may be-.
BY deducting the value of the apex,
from the solid suit, we obtain the
average value of the truncated suit
left. If the A-K-Q is worth 2.34 de-
fensive tricks, then the K-Q-J
must be worth one trick less, or
1.34. If the A-K-Q-J is worth 2.12
defensive tricks, the Q-J-10-9 is
worth only OH of one defensive
trick. OF course these values are
only against trump calls, and when
a defender. The J-10-9-8 has no
probable defensive value against
suit makes, but it at least can do
no harm to lead defensively. It
may have great assisting value for
anything held by partner in that
suit.
Suppose that a plain suit is held
as follows: Leader, J-10-9-7; dunn
my, K-8-3; third hand, A-Q-5; de-
clarer, 6-4-2. If the is led three
tricks may be captured, but if the
fourth best is led, the 8 will
force the @ to be played. Later
play may enable declarer or dunn
my to discard loser of the suit,
so that only two losers will be cap
tured by defenders.
Solid suits offer ideal opening
leads Truncated suits for sequent-
ed suits, (as K-Q-J-X, Q-J-10X
J-1O-9-X) offer excellent opening
leads, seldom doing harm, and Of
ten admirably supporting partner''
defense. AS stated last week, fourth
best opening leads against trump
calls have almost no merit.
Suppose that senior holds the
K-Q-X of a side suit against
trump call. If he has diligently
read his textbook, by almost any
author, it is probable that he high
. ly esteems an opening lead of TIT
K, but suppose we consider TIT
case more fully. The remaining
three honors may be distributed
in any one OF q different ways
Having only one partner and tW'
opponents, the chances are tina
I he will encounter bad advers
distribution. This will be so in si1
cases to the extent of losing tricl
needlessly. In all 27 ways the bal
ance of honors may be held tn
total loss of leading the K, instead
of allowing another player to Leaf
) the suit, are seven tricks, Or al
average loss of rs per cent TO
leading the K.
The lead of the @, from DIX
averages to cost 61A tricks in 2
cases. The @ from Q-J-10, is fine
The @, from Q-J-9, costs only hal
as much as leading from Q-J-X
A fourth-best lead from Q-J-X-X
costs six tricks in q cases.
The lower the two sequentet
honors heading a suit are, the les
, damage an opening lead of the tol
honor probably will cause. Thu
the ] lead from J-10-X averages
loss of only two tricks in 81 cases
Every player understands tina
the declarer leads from one ham
towards strength in the other hand
Yet players make opening lead

lead come up to, as 1T will If an
other player leads the suit.

Financial Writer for Cleveland pam Deaicr
In the minds of millions of Americans In the
last five years the yearning for security sup
planted the goal of opportunity, which had been
the national stimulus of this country Tor lo0
years. With great depression cloud o rear
uncertainty-even terror-at their backs poll
ticians and statesmen turned their attention to
the creation of security by statute.
The result was the famous Social Security
act passed by the last session of congress and
signed into the law Of the land by President
Roosevelt on Aug. IA
Historians some day may take that date as
turning point of real Importance and signlfi-
canoe in the evolution of the American people
from a sturdy, self-reliant, individualistic Pic
neering clan to an older, more cautious people
seeking safety security through collective CO.
operation. Already many philosophers and
students of government speak of the adoption
of this act as indicative Of the fact that America
has come of age. great and erstWhle bold
people have reached back into the experience
of older nations and appropriated form OF
statute formulated to protect the individual,
in So far as possible from the vicisStudes ct
life
This article, however, is not to concern itself
with the philosophy of social security. 1t does
not propose here TO take up the question of the
right or wrong of it. 1t does not presume to
say whether any government can guarantee It's
citizens security within the common understand
ing of that term.
Theories and conflicting opinions aside, the
fact is that the United States is embarked upon
the most elaborate and far-reaching program
taken The New Deal leaders who were respon-
sible for the adoption of this legislation prefer
to speak of it as legislation fer economic secur-
ity They mean by that the same thing others
mean when they use the term social security
For purposes of consistency, therefore, this
article will refer to the whole field of security
legislation as social security legislation
Suffice it to say, briefly, that the Social Sc
curity act passed in 1895 is not only one of the
most significant laws passed in all American
history; it is one of the most complex 1t is easy
to imagine this act as being more difficult of
administration than all other legislation passed
by the New Deal. No one as yet knows the ex-
tent of administrative difficulties and complex
ties. There is hardly range in the human mind
to comprehend it.
But, beginning Jan. l, every American EN-
ployer of eight or mere people, with a few ex-
ceptions, will begin paying payroll tax on the
wages of his employees with which to set into
motion the unemployment insurance section Of

about security for years; beginning Jan. l the
United States government begins collecting the
money with which to establish some modest
degree Of protection against unemployment
