plan of extension for its SIS .000. 900
in per cent notes which matured
Wednesday.

held by others. The new notes will
be non-interest bearing. the face
values taking care of interest from
the elapsed dates to May /, 1910.

semi-annual distributions.
The difference in the rate of ex-
change offered is accounted for by
the feet that the Vanness Co. ad-

for May and November, 1882, and had
itself received no interest since
November, 1881.

After three players had passed
Mr.. Kazanjian made an opening bid
of 1-Heart. His partner, William H.
Hamilton, Jr., jumped the call to
3-Hearts, to show that nothing else
could suit his hand as well, also to
encourage East to continue in case
the opening bid had been made on
a short suit. When North bid g.
Spades. East went 4-Hearts. Both
sides we're vulnerable and oppon-
ents dared bid no higher.
OF course the opening lead was
the 2 Of spades and dummy was in
with the Ace. The of hearts held
the second trick, while the @ won
the third, as North refused to cover
when it could do his side no pos
sible good. 1t required an added
lead to pick up the K. South let
go a spade.
Not wanting 20 guess which op-
ponent held the missing @ of dia-
monds, East put North in the lead
with a losing spade. North could
not afford to lead another spade,
allowing declarer or dummy to
ruff while the other discarded. Nor
could he lead from his @ of dia-
monds up to dummy's XII. He
had to lead his lone 3 of clubs. BY
this time declarer knew that North
originally held 6 spades, 3 hearts
and minor suit cards, but Wheth-
er the club led was a fourth best
card, showing void diamonds, no.
body could tell. In any event East
had to take the double finesse, so
he played the 5, losing to South's
J. AS a choice between leading back
club or opening up diamonds.
South chose the latter play. East
would finally have forced South
to open diamonds, had he not done
so then. The Ace captured East's
@, and two added diamond tricks
were run, bringing play through
the ninth trick.
Dummy led the 4 of clubs at the
tenth trick. North showed out. De-
clarer's Ace won the trick, then the
8 of clubs was led through South's
K-9, up to dummy's 1915, giving
South the third defensive trick for
his side, but allowing East to go
game, as the next two tricks were
won with dummy's top club and
trump.

NEW YORK, Nov. 28.-England
expresses a far greater reverence
for Charles Frohman than Amer
ica in general and New York in par
ticular In London that block OF
Broadway housing his famous En-
pire theatre would likely be Froh-
man Place. But the Empire hasn't
even a lobby statue.
At NARROW in Britain there is
memorial statue of &C. F." to which
his sister journeys every three years
to place a wreath. In the reStau-
rant of the Savoy on The Strand is
a plaque over the table where he
used to sit in conference with the
atrical friends.
Frohman was one of the London
providers until he became so well
known that Shyness isolated him.
Once there was movement to name
a theatre for him in oxford Circus,
but he scotched the idea. Recently
it was revived and may be carried
out.
In New York Frohman is recalled
chiefly when feature writer's beat
back into theatrical history for
reminiscent paragraph or so. F'roh-
man, however, was solely response
BILE for his effacement. At his pass
ing there was only one photograph
of him in existence.
Maurice Chevalier is slowly win
ming his way back to the hearts of
PariSianS. For several years he was
the most popular player next to Mis-
tinguett. On his boulevard prone
nadeS, crowds trailed him as they
do champion. Then came partial
eclipse. Due to transferring his tai
ents to the Hollywood screen and
the unfortunate crack-up of what
was thought to be an ideal mar
riage. Now he dances, sings and
cavorts at his old mirrored and
lumpgilt stamping ground, Casino
de Paris, to growing applause.
A recently headlined gentleman,

The Mickey, the Mocks and Chink

they are standardized young Broad

corner of Times Square late after

fights at The Garden, bristling with
wise talk and often over midnight
coffee put down Mark Hellinger's
sob stories with misty eye. Always
in cafes they are darting in and

William Lyon Phelps and Alex

the air. This week the 26-ton China
Clipper, carrying passengers and mail,
winged a course over the Pacific ocean
from San Francisco to Manila-a throb-
bing tribute to the vision of the Wright
brothers and those who came after them.
Thanksgiving for the cities, industries
and progress which are ours is Thanks
giving for the vision from which they
sprung.
Civilizations high peak in America,
itself tribute to vision, is founded up
on still other visions-those of the men
and women who sought new frontiers.
First they hunted a new continent, then
siley reached westward for new lands
and new homes, until a continent had
been conquered. Tracing back, America
gives thanks today that realization of
one dream led into another, which in
turn opened new vistas for those with
vision, until the American civilization of
today resulted. Knowing that history
follows a straight path, America gives
thanks too for the visions of today and
tomorrow upon which the civilization of
our children will be built.
1t would be a sacrilege to believe that
the things we have been given already
have made our day the ultimate in prog
ress. To ourselves and to those who
gave us reason for thanksgiving, we owe
duty to carry on the development they
have started
AS nation, America has only to look
across the Atlantic to know why it has
especial reason for rejoicing, and why
Americans must strain toward realiza-
tion of still another vision-that of last
ing peace. Few nations of Europe to-
day could look to the future with easy
assurance of untroubled existence. Few
European families could sit down to the
dinner table without feeling over them
the threat of foreign tyrannies, persecu-
tion and racial hatreds. Standing to-,
gether in peace American families have
cause for rejoicing that the black clouds
of Europe are not over their own heads.
The peoples of Europe are whirled
toward war on a merry-go-round of in
ternational intrigue, crowded together
by interviewer boundaries and age-old
jeaousies. For America the Atlantic
and the Pacific still represent welcome
isolation from continental differences.
If there is war in Europe, Americans
need not become embroiled. Their coun-
try can furnish them with pleasant
living. They can become, for the time,
j
for Thanksgiving.
Imperial Valley as a community, and
as part of great nation, has much to
be thankful for in the men whose works
have made Thanksgiving Day more than
just name To their vision and enter
prise may be credited the things for
which we are thankful today, and in
their vision and enterprise should be in
spiration for greater effort by us.
The blessings Of America are many,
but the greatest of them is vision.
