Best Showgirl?
D.C.Beauty Says No

NEW YORK, March % Q.N.SO.
The question whether college girls
should supplant female impersona-
tors in varsity musical revues was
threshed out today at Yale, Har'
ward and Broadway.
It all came UP because a Broad
way producer declared the Broad
way crop of showgirls should be
enhanced with "the charm and
background" Of college girls.
And that few college girls had
a chance to get attention on
Broadway because the college boys
insisted on putting on feminine
wigs in their musical productions.

"I can't see that college girl
would be any better as a show
girl than one who didn't 60 to

you don't have to have an
education to be q show girl. All
you have to do is parade around
and have beauty. Anyway, q
girl who has left school quite
early and struck out on her own
is five years ahead Of the college
girl"
Elinor left high school in
Washington, D. c., and won a ma

Believes Public Will

Having tasted the enjoyment of its
own regularly scheduled symphony
concerts, Newbold Noyes, associate
editor of The Star, does not believe
Washington will ever willingly permit
their discontinuance.
Expressing confidence that the pub
lie will respond generously In the
National Symphony Orchestra's drive
for a 100000 sustaining fund. he
said:
1T seems to me that the only thing
necessary to insure the success OF this
campaign Is that the significance OF
the orchestra to Washington shall
this year be fully understood by the
community as whole. The days OF
experiment and cautious test are
over. The local demand for first-class
symphonic programs. played by a
group of flrst-class Washington musi-
clans under the direction Of the most
competent leadership available, has
been fully established.
I'm order that the symphony con-
certs may be continued and the scope
of their appeal broadened and en-
hanced, the established enthusiasm of
the National Capital must take con-
crete and practical form in terms Of
dollars and cents. The popular prices
at which admission to the regular
Sunday concerts have been main
tanned from the start must not be in
creased. There should be more Of
them. The children's concerts, so es-
sential to the cultural training Of
young Washington, must be continued
and, If possible, the whole orchestra
employed at these performances"

ftto ~ NFNS'
BY JOHN H. BANKHEAD,
United States Senator from Alabama.
TINE hope behind my bill is to
convert as many tenant
farmers, sharecroppers and
i farm laborers into farm owners
as possible.
Something like one-third OF all the
tenants in the country move every
year. In some parts Of the country.
particularly in certain sections OF the
cotton belt, the tenants move about
so much that it is impossible to say
what percentage change farms every
year. The percentage is very high.
You can't build a community, or
country, or a section when so large a
percentage of its people move out
every year, and their places are taken
by new people who follow the same
practice. Taking the country as q
whole, tenants move entirely too often
for their own good as well as for the
good of the community.
Farmers on Relief.
Another problem has arisen in the
last few years which has added fuel
to the already damaging flame. Fol-
lowing the crash Of the stock market
in 1929, there was an exodus Of in
dustrial employees from the cities back
to relatives on the farms. Many OF
these have a farm background, but
their return made 1t necessary for
some farm families to go on relief
rolls.
On top of these two conditions, we
have a big army of tenants who have
simply farmed themselves poor and
almost helpless on submarginal lands.
Many of these would become prosper.
GUS farm owners with a future If they
could be relocated on better land, and
could be given good start toward
home ownership. But. as it stands
now, all they can do is to plug along
until they die trying to exc out liv-
ing on land too poor for profitable
cultivation.
Here is my plan. The bill would
set up a corporation with financial
power and authority similar to that
of the Home Owners Loan Corp. The
financing Is to be done principally
through an authorized bond issue of
81 ,000, ,000,0 900. The corpor ion
would be managed by q board Of di-
rectors composed of three members
appointed by the Secretary of Agri-
culture.
Authority for Purchase.
This corporation is authorized to
purchase farm lands and all necessary
farm equipment, or to make loans for
the purchase Of such property. Title
to the property may be taken either
in the name of the purchaser or in
the name of the corporation. Pur-
chasers are limited to farm tenants

 Now let us turn oult attention to what happens at the squeeze position. The fourth and fifth clements of the lapel formula are concerned with this very vital point.
 Two conditions are necessary at the squeeze position. They are: First, you must have a final entry card in the opposite hand when the squeeze is applied. Second, you must be able to lead a suit at the squeeze position that will force your opponent to be squeezed on his discard.

opposite hand and exit card to that final entry.
 Now let us see why. Of what use can the squeeze be if you are not able to enter the opposite hand to take advantage of the forced discard the squeezed o2- ponent has made?
 In the example above, South has led the heart ten and West is squeezed. He is forced to dis card.a If you did not have an entry to the spade king jack tn the North hand, West would not be squeezed, because you would not be able to enter the North hand to take advantage of tn } squeeze against West.
 If West should discard a spade, you will then cash three spade tricks by finessing the spade jack at the 11th trick.
 You may therefore set down as a definite and positive rule that, in every squeeze, there must ali ways be positive entry card into the opposite hand after the squeeze has been applied.
 AS d Tc5ulty WiOh PhoPSSsAf' the play to the squeeze position, you must be extremely careful to retain the positive entry in the opposite hand and also to retain an exit card in that suit in the squeeze hand.
 This is an element that must never be overlooked. Without c, there can be no squeeze.
 Sometimes the final entry may be a definite winner, such as the ace in q suit, or the king or queen in a suit when the higher ranking cards have already been played out. Sometimes, as in this e%- ample, the final entry may be finessing situation, because here the spade jack is the final entry.
 The spade finesse must be taken at all events for you know that if the spade finesse does not work the contract is doomed. SD here you are faced with the neces- sity of assuming that the spade jack is positive entry to taa North hand. otherwise, there would be no squeeze possibility.
