PAY RAISES WON
BY BIG EXECUTIVES
Most Corporation Salaries,
However, Remain at
1888 Level.

(CopyriRht. 1895 by the Associated Presso
How the pay of many big corpora
ton executives rose last year is shown
by their reports to the Federal Trade
and Securities Commissions.
For example, Francis B. Davis,
chairman Of the United States Rub
ber Co, got s125.ooo last year, COM
pared with $l07,550 in 1882. j. D. A.
Morrow, president Of the Pittsburgh
Coal Co., received $74,440 last year
and $30.780 two years before.
The figures were too few to give a
definite indication of the trend
throughout the thousands Of Ameri-
can corporations, .ofhcials said. In
some cases changes in official ca
pacity-promotions, demotions or
resignations-probably accounted for
changes.
Most salaries and other compensa-
tion reported to the commission were
maintained in 1884 at the 1928
rate, although in a few cases there
were declines.
James H. Rand, jr., president of
Remington-Rand, Inc. received a
boost in compensation from S76,128
in 1892 to $94,120 in 1884. but George
Horace Lorimer, editor of the Satur-
day Evening Post, got 100000 in
1884, against S1lS,750 in 1882. The
earnings of William E. Lewis, Alton,
ILL.,, president of Owens Illinois Glass
Co., increased from $59,166 in 1882 to
100000 In 1884.

North does not have an unbal- anced hand, that is hand contain ing 8 singleton or void, so, ac- cording to the rule of the ace and the king. he must be able to re- move an ace from his hand and If he still has a sound response, he will be justified in making 8 bid that will invite a slam.
 In today's hand North can re- move the ace of diamonds and still have a sound response of one spade. Therefore he should bid four dia- mondS.
 South's bid of i've club is show ing control of the. club suit. When North bids five hearts, he shows a it in hearts.
 Then South correctly closes the bidding by contracting for 8 small slam in spades.

Solution to Previous COntract Problem

This is the second of series of articles describing number of the conventions as advocated in the new book, "The Four Aces System of Contract Bridge"
 As explained in my preceding article, the jump raise in partners suit is one of the most important bids in contract. The action taken over this jump response is guided in the Four Aces System by the rule of the ace and the king.
 According to this rule, a slam can be invited with a balanced hand, when you can remove an ace MAT. ..s - = ..* - ..* ..*.. and still have sound bid or re- sponse, or with an unbalanced hand, when you can remove a king.
 Today's article treats with a bal- anced hand and the response. South opens the contracting with one heart. North makes a one-over- -one forcing bid of one spade and South jumps to three spades.
 North realizes that his partner has an exceptionally fine hand and
