Anything can happen, but third

OF the two. the fusion would seem TO

More effective than either Is simply
a wholesale but unofficial bolt of party

Loans to Veterans
Up Under
New Credit Policy

SACRAMENTO, Dec. %. U.P)-A
sweeping change in policy to per-
NIT speeding up of loans to vet
Grams for the purpose of obtaining
homes and farms was announced
today by Chairman Thomas Foley
to the state veterans welfare
board.
Under the new program the
board expects to release funds at
the rate of about a million dollars
monthly for the next two years.
Foley said. Features of the chang
ed policy include:
District offices of the board at
Los Angeles, San Francisco, Oak
land, Fresno and San Diego are
empowered to negotiate all loan
details without dealing through
Sacramento, thereby s1ashing the
time required in handling loans
from 40 to Is days. Twenty-year
loans will continue to pay per
cent interest, but those for Is years
were cut to 4 per cent, and 10
year loans were dropped to 3 per
cent. Building requirements were
modified to permit acceptance OF
ordinary standard structures or
those meeting the building codes of
the district where purchased.

Payrolls were $3O,5O0,0OO greater
than in November last year.,
Employment in an Industries, al
though declining slightly from Oct
ober to November, worked against
the seasonal trend in that losses
were less than in previous years.
In the durable goods industries
shoes, steel, clothing, canning, etc
an increase of is per cent over
October was shown. Building, which
had Jagged since beginning of the
depression, doomed. The value of
residential building permits in No
vember was three times as great
as in November last year. The val
lie of all construction permits was
SO per cent above a year ago, the
Department of Labor reported.
Preliminary estimates by govern
ment officials place the national
income in 1884 at approximately
$4,000, 100000 an increase of &c.
000,000,000 over 1884
Farmers shared largely in the in
creased prosperity in 1885, Secretary
of Agriculture Wallace reported. To-
tai farm incomes this year were
$8,110,000,000, an increase of $844,-
100000 over 1884. No drought blight

The Ell Centre area, which has
nine active projects, needs six

throughout the nation were damned
by throngs spending more money

Pay Envelopes Fatter
More men are at work, pay envel-
opeS are fatter; more new homes
are being built, more automobiles
and radios sold, railroad earnings
are better and department store
sales brisker, official reports said.
Smoke belched from stacks OF
factories idle or working part time
since 1880 as employers rushed to
fill bigger orders from wholesalers.
Manufacturing industries employed
ten per cent more men in November
this year than in the same month
last year. Pay rolls were up 18 per
cent over year ago.

He called attention to the largest
payrolls since 1880 in steel mills
and $40,000,000 expansion program
in the same industry.
Reports from 12l 1881 manufacture

Like a cat he moved stealthily
forward and Stephen directed
the steps of Ho. There was no
sound of the placing Of the lad
der. Stephen thrust his flash
light into the hand Of the tall
shadow at his side. Use it when
you get to the top"
The ladder creaked, but the
sleeping house gave no sign of
hearing.
Back in his room, lying tense
in the darkness, Stephen made
his plans. He counted on no
disturbance in this change of
generals. Probably the new gen.
eral had money to pay General
Hos troops. and they would fol-
low him without violence. It
would be safe to keep Ho for a
day. Tomorrow night he could
get him away in the company
sampan.
The morning brought no un.
usual stir in the city. The peo-
pie did not seem interested in
the change of generals. The
crowds on the bund seemed no
more dangerous than always,
ready to be swayed suddenly
into violence or laughter.
Burnham, watching them, was
suddenly alert.
Look here" he said. 1T
strikes me that group coming
toward the hong means bust
ness. See, they're pointing this

Stephen. About as usual, hun.

clutch at his heart. Suppose he
had. endangered all the house
hold, because of his instructive
acquiescence to the Chinese idea
that one should help the son of
a friend.
A Mob Visits
A mob was gathering now
around the front of the hong;
a stOne hit the window.
What about Hester?" said
Burnham. Hadn't we better
get her down here?"
"No," said Stephen. "Too dan.
gerous. Shed have to go out

ham?"
"'Soon this house is ours"
answered Burnham.
They're not after General
Ho, then" thought Stephen.
Loud he said, II believe I can
manage them. At least, can
try"
You're mad" protested the
men, gathering round him.
WED much etter stay here,
fight them off if they try to
break in" They had their hands
on their revolvers.
1--WE can't afford to fight. At
our first shot, they'd be reen-
forced. There aren't many here
now I think I can manage them,
If they don't hit me first"
Stephen put on his old sun he'll

moment. Shut the door quickly
behind me-" he commanded.
"Guess I'll come along, boss"
said Riley. Hold your hat for
you If you get into q scrap"

Stephen would have liked to
know what the company really
wanted done in the matter of
travelling. No definite instruc-
tionS were given out from the
Shanghai office. but he got the
impression that the manager
who kept his men travelling was
considered more efficient than
the one who did not. He under
stood Kendall's men were
travelling.
In the hong, the separate
households were done away
with, for the servants of white
men were often ordered out on
strike. The table in Hester's
dining room was now extended
to accommodate all the Com
pany people. Sometimes there
would be a houseful of servants
"a half.dozen coolies, boys,
cookS-on duty at breakfast
time, and by noon there would
be none.
Real Danger
Winter and the sun seemed
to have gone forever from the
sky, and the rain fell day
after day. Many shops closed.
Merchants were fleeing in the
dead of night, fearful that the
government might demand
money which they were no
longer able to raise.
AS the situation jumped from
discomfort to real danger, the
Company people were wrought
to a high pitch Of excitement
which burned up the dark I'M
Certainties of the last weeks;
fear of the loss of their jobs,
fear of failure. Death hugging
them close bound them into
brotherhood.
Then in the midst of the
crowded hong, Hester and
Stephen were caught back into
the eagerneSs of first love, with
its sting of curiosity. Death so
near, gave youths immediacy to
love. AS spring drew on, Hes.
ter grew more and more certain
that in this flare-up of youth
the barren years were over. But
she would not tell Stephen yet.
He might think she should go
away. She could not go.
Late one night Stephen was
awakened by the whispering of
Kin at his door. Master, the
son of thy friend ,Ho is here"
"All right, Kim" Stephen was
on his feet and dressing in a
moment. So General Ho is flee.
ing. The rumors were correct.
He felt no surprise that the
general had come to him for
protection.
At the door of the buffers
pantry, Kin stopped. Here in
the pantry. He is not safe in
the servants quarters"
Out of the darkness some one
spoke. Prior Born, there is
mutiny among my troops, plot
against my life. 80"
The voice was thick with fear
and Stephen did not recognize
it, so he flashed his electric
torch. Yes. it was General Ho,
and he was alone.
Where, Stephen wondered,
was the young wife? At the
same time he was thankful there
was but one to care for. Where
in the crowded house, could he
hide General Ho?
Hurry, hurry" spoke the
thick voice.
I'm the attic" whispered Kin.
"Can it be managed?"Stephen

 Problem

Solution to Previous Contract
 Problem
 Fine bridge players do not waste cards, even unimportant ones. Every play should convey some message to partner which will help. him to count distribution or place high card strength. Sometimes the messages are hard to detect. but good defensive play is based on tho ability to transmit and decipher them correctly.
 At times 1t is possible, as with telegraph wires. to send two mes sages simultaneously. and the re- ceiver must differentiate between them and select the right one. To- days hand illustrates a message which might have a double mean ing. and only an expert could be depended upon to interpret 1t cor- rectiy.
 Tine Play
 North knew from the bidding that his side could not take more than one heart trick, so he opened the queen in the hope that he might hold the lead. If success full. he could have a look at the dummy. and might then make a leead to the second trick which would be helpful to his partner.
 This would probably be North's only opportunity to lead. so he should try to use it to hest ad- vantage.

would call for another heart lead. but this would scarcely be possible in view of the singleton in dummy.
 North knew that his partner was not in the habit of making mean ingless plays. and he must have had n definite purpose in playing the ten of hearts. If it did not call for q heart lead. then what other meaning might is have?
 Since North could think of no other plausible excuse for the play. he correctly reasoned that the drop of m unnecessarily high card called for q diamond lead in preference to clubs. the higher of the unbid suits. Therefore. he led . diamond at trick two. which his partner ruffed with the deuce of spades. defeating the contract one trick.
 With any other lead. the slam contract could have been made eas. ily. Ie South had bid clubs. Vests contract would have been made, as North would have switched to q club.
 This play may seem almost fan. tastie Co the casual player, yet it is not beyond tho reasoning power Of our leading masters. Such in- ferenoes arc constantly beins ex' changed between expert partners. and gheiF vnrintioss are limited only by the capacity Of the human mind.
