4 Case of the SUeIIed Head?

VOU have to be careful how you treat people, too
4 because there is telling who might be
Senator or Congressman, or the wife or secretary
of one or the keeper of official Scrapbook at $4,000
a year in one of the government departments
These people all have their privileges, Just IS
you have yours and they do not like to be told 10
stand out of the aisles big days where to park
their cars or not to go in that door.
On the other hand, if you have trouble with your
sIperors in the force you may go to the statesman
who got you the job in return for the votes you
turned out for him in the election and get him TO
intercede. That is the kind of cop you are.
It would be foolish, of course to believe that in
a city the size of Washington, the captains of the
Metropolitan force could not stamp out gambling
and vice and pick up all the hoodlums and robbers
in town in a few days if they were told to do it.
The very existence of a crime problem in Washing
ton is automatic proof that the captains realize that
they are not supposed to bear down.
Well how very indignant this essay is getting,
to be sure, when all your correspondent wished to
point out is the fact that with the Department of
Justice getting swe-headed over the Smelling of
Mrs Barker and her boy, Fred in Florida, and other
detectives counting how many cornflakes various
officials had for breakfast, it is impossible to kick
in the gambling rooms and pick up home talent

Dickinson Of Iowa and Hastings Of Delaware will
live TO rue their action The Of ice IS an age of

theory that what has always been must yet endure

Of any attempt to foster brotherhood or co-opera-

It has been said that the last election indicated
that there is longer such a thing a Republican
party. But the vote in Washington and the COM
mittee action in Albany shows that neither is there
a Democratic party. The leadership of Lehman and
Roosevelt has been repudated for the moment.

Whatever loss is involved is
borne by the citizenry. A saver
who put the dollar equivalent of
$1,000 of gold into bank in 1929
gets back now the equivalent of
only $500 of gold.
Strictly speaking, he does not
need to worry, either because
prices have not advanced as much
as the opponents of dollar devalu-
alton hoped, the $500 gold
equivalent will buy so per cent
more than the $1,000 gold equiva-
lent would buy on the average
from 1919 to 1929.

Il the Federal government, states
and municipalities owe about ST.
596,532,000, all covered by the gold

inequalities it is a different story.
Most have exhausted their credit.
Therefore refunding has been i'm
possible.
The full burden of an adverse
gold clause decision would fall
upon their already exhausted
treasures. Their total debt would
be increased to 500, 1888, 139, 900.
Their annual interest would be in
creased from $703, 1851 ,280 to ST.

Solution to Previous Contract Problem

Many players are possessed with the idea that they must not all low their opponents to play con- tract at one.
 For example, in today's hand South opens the bidding with one heart and the next two players pass. I know that there are nu- merous players who would keep the bidding open with East's hand, but why should they?
 When you first pick up East's cards, the suit you hope to hear your partner bid is hearts, and now the opponents have bid it. You know that they cannot be in their with the bid? Let them play it at one heart.
 Do you know that smart players often pass a partners bid just be- cause they know that the next hand will keep the bidding open, and before the bidding closes the player who kept the bidding open will usually find himself trapped.
 However, the point I want to bring out in today's hand is, even though you find yourself in what you think is bad contract, do not become discouraged. Play the hand for all the tricks that are in it.
 Naturally, any South player who opens the bidding with heart and buys the contract for that, will wish that he were playing the hand at one no trump, so that he could count his 150 aces. When Dr. Richard Ecker, Jr., of New
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-06-06

York, found himself playing the hand at one heart, he proceeded to play it in the following manner,
 which resulted in a top score for him.
 Tine Play Vests opening lead of the deuce of clubs was covered in dummy with the ten, East played the king and South won the trick with the ace. South immediately cashed the ace of spades, West winning with the king. West returned a small diamond, and declarer won with the ace.
 A small spadelwas played and won with the queen in dummy. The nine of hearts came next and,
 when East refused to cover, de- clarer let 1t ride and 1t held. The seven was played. Again East re- fused to cover, so declarer played the five spot.
 Now declarer played a small club, West winning the trick with the queen. West played a small diamond and South trumped with the ten of hearts. He returned a small club, winning in dummy with the jack.
 Now diamond was played. East, having nothing but trump, had to ruff with the six and dee clarer overruffed with the queen. Then he cashed the ace of hearts, and made four odd.

Prominent among the early June nuptials was the wedding this morning of Miss Natalie Lanese, daughter of MT. and Mrs. Paul Lanese of E a t o n avenue and Edward F. Lyons, Jr., son of MT. and Mrs. Edward F. Lyons, Sr., of Highland avenue. The ceremony took place at St. Lucy's. church at 8 o'clock, Rev. Felix Scoglio officiating at the cer- emony and also celebrating the nuptial mass which followed. Palms and cut flowers decorated the altar and special program of nuptial music was rendered by Miss Amelia Ricciuti, organist, with William O'Brien as soloist. Miss Marie Mezzanotte was the maid of honor and only attendant of the bride and Nicholas Lanese attended MT. Lyons as best man.
 The bride was attired in a gown of chalk white mousseline de soie, Lanvin model, fashioned with car fridge pleated neckline, long Vic
 torian puff sleeves and a long skirt terminating in train. Her short
 hip length veil of French Illusion
 was styled with a small circular
 nose veil and she carried a prayer
 book with cover corsage of swan
 sonia and lilies of the valley. The
