SOCIAL ACTIVITIES
Regina Leonard Reopens School

Today marked the opening of waterbury's largest and most up to date dancing school in the form of party for the children's classes.
 This was quite an event as it had been in previous years. with games singing, dancing and recita- tions. During the summer months Regina Leonard has spent. much time studying at the Chaltf Rus sian Normal School of Dancing In New York city, and will exhibit many of the newest dances that are executed in New York and Europe at the present time. These new dance sensations include ball. room, tap, toe, ballet, pantomine and buck routines.
 Among the hundreds of pupils from little tots to adults that Re- gina Leonard has taught many have appeared before the radio and several have gained fame in massive Broadway productions.
 Those that have witnessed Re- gina Leonard's recitals have en" joyed the achievements of her pu- pills. Most amazing of all Is the smooth way in which children of all ages were handled.
 The Regina Leonard school of dancing consists of patient, con- scientious staff of expert instruc- tors who give all of their attention to those who come in contact with the school.
 The human race all through it's long course of progress has ex- pressed it's feeling in the dance of the day.
 Since the beginning of organized society the dance has taken it's place in the social calendar and no one should consider their educa- tion complete without a training | in the refined dances of the period Today when many people spend most of their time indoors it has | been the custom of the business men and women to seek exercise combined with pleasure. Dancing is the answer to this need as it | promotes grace and boise while keeping one in contact with the social world.
 l Miss Edith M. Chase of this city has been spending several days in New York where they were regis tered at the Hotel Weylin.

king. The ace of hearts was cash ed, followed by the, queen of dia- monds. Declarer entered his hand with the ace of spades and picked up the outstanding trumps.
 After cashing the ace of clubs, he played out all of his remaining trump and on the last diamond lead East was squeezed. East had only three cards left, the king of hearts and the queen-ten of spades. The discard of the heart would set up declarer's queen. while the spade discard would al- low the remaining tricks to be won in dummy.
 Other South players attempted to make this hand by establishing the spades, but this effort failed, for South had to ruff twice with high trumps and then lost a trump trick to West.
 You will notice that 1t was ne- cessary to cash the ace of hearts early in the hand, thereby setting up East's king. This play is term ed a Vienna coup.

Error in Doubling Sam-Chalenge of Opponent Permits /" Declarer to Make Seven Contract by Fine
 ,@ Vienna Coup
Solution to Previous Contract Problem
Secretary Of the American Bridge |

Here is a nice Vienna coup hand played at the recent Canadian American Tournament by Henry Jaeger of Cleveland, O., past presi- dent of the American Bridge League.
 As have often stated, there is definite rule for doubling slam contracts. Before doubling you must say to yourself, Have I two possible ways to defeat this con- tract, and do place these two pos sible ways in danger by giving the declarer the information that l hold certain probable tricks?"
 In tournament competition good players seldom double seven con tract, figuring that if they defeat the contract they are bound to get a, good score because the opponents will be minus on hand that could pfobably have made small slam and certainly game.

 Still there is rush of population, unemployed otherwise, upon the virgin soil of Alaska There only five hundred farms in the whole Terri tory according to the 1880 census, which gives the entire population as 5000 less than half that of Yonkers, N. Y.
 Alaska's population is so small, in fact that it will be increased almost per cent next May when the Federal Government will send 200 families Representing about 1000 persons) now on relief in Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin to homestead in the fertile Matanuska Valley in South-central Alaska; prospective homesteaders each of whom will be provided with forty of improved land with house fully equipped and necessary farm access sories at cost of about $3,00O to the Govern ment, but who are evidently harder than those on relief who turned up their noses recently at offers of measure Of security on farms nearer home from readers of "The Rural New-Yorker"

ADOLPH s. OCHS.

In the sudden death this week of Adolph S. Ochs, Publisher of the New York Times, America loses one of it's most distinguished citizens and newspaperdom one of it's most brilliant minds and builders In a half century devoted to the news paper business, Mir Ochs built and a publishing enterprise unparalleled in this country. Without sensationasm glamour pandering to any class creed. the who started a printers devil" in the shop of small Tennessee paper built in American journalism a monument to high ideals in the newspaper field.
 After his initial success with the Chattanooga Times, MT Ochs took the New York Times when it was generally believed to be headed for extinction Into it he imbued his high moral courage, his keen presentation and interpretation of news and business acumen Never losing sight of his lifelong slogan, All the news that's fit to print" MT Ochs created a newspaper along in- telligent lines, and covering a field which finally reached every corner of the globe, that is unpre- cedented in American journalism From what was described in 1896 when MT Ochs took it over "the most picturesque old ruin among the newspapers of America" he built what is considered today one of the worlds outstanding publications.
 During his long years in the publishing business MT Ochs took personal interest in the Associated Press and served as it's first treasurer He was always member of the Board of Directors of the AP and served several years it's Chairman
 Around AdoIph Ochs is woven the true story of the poor American boy who started from scratch and through tenacty and intelligent effort to the pinnacle of his profession
 Now the hand which directed so long and so well his newspaper efforts is stiled; the brain from which the capacity for great executive ability and journalistic genius longer functions, but in the hearts and minds of America it has left lasting imprint and millions mourn the passing of a plain American boy who through his own efforts to revered niche in the countrys hall of greatness.

Country Blows Away.
(New York Times.)

(New York TimeS)
 Even a dust cloud like the one which is now working mischief in the remoter Farm Belt may have it's silver lining Some people fear the recon quest of the sown land by the desert. The soil is blowing away Rain deficiency is becoming a per manent condition AS much a billion dollars out of the new public works appropriation may go regulation tree barriers against dust storms Huge areas of the United States slipping off into the Gulf of Mexico .t,,tr0 l asfIeGss
 The silver lining consists in the very fact that we have got to get busy to keep the United States from blowing away swimming away In other words, we have unantcipated huge job on which to turn the energies of the American people. We cannot be crushed by mounting burden of unemployment, the social prophets have been predicting because we shall have plenty of employment for many years to in conservation work. When large sections of Kansas start moving into Missouri the wings of the wind it is obvious that have big job ahead of us to keep this country stay put in a literal sense.
 Social analysts predicate the end of the present economic order in the United States on the fact that there is work for it to do. Capitalism laissez-fare indvidualism, democracy all dress ed up in their overals and heavy boots, but have nowhere to go in country that raw but is now nicely finished The continent has been conquered the wilderness tanned the rivers mastered the desert made to bloom The frontier has long been gene and there is no more opportunity in the country for building and expanding Henceforth 1t must be management and sharing.
 But it appears that the country is far from being a finished job. The very soil must be kept from blowing away in the West and washing away in the South. The conquest of the continent apparently has to be started again.
