Solution to Previous
 Contract Problem


 Which is the most important trick in. contract? To that question I would be inclined to answer. the first trick.
 It seems to me that more hands go wrong on the first trick than on any other. Plays either will fail to watch their entry or to hold=up so as to exhaust that suit from one hand, or they will win the trick in the wrong hand.
 Ton must get into the habit of planning the entire play of your hand before winning the first trick. Of course, during the play of the hand you may have to alter your plan of attack as you gain additional information by the drop of the cards.
 Let's take today's hand. South is in a three no trump contract.

FARLEY CALLS NATL COM. TO
 MEET IN JAN.
(By The Associated Press)

Washington, Dec. }, - Making the first formal democratic move, in the al- ready loudly rumbling 19- 36 campaign, Chairman James A. Farley called the democratic national commit tee to meet here the second week in January.
 The meeting is to official ly set the stage for the in- tended renomination of President Roosevelt, which is generally considered a foregone conclusion.
 The republican nation
 al committee has already
 arranged to meet here on
 opposition plans for the
 campaign, three weeks
 earlier.
 Farley predicted the re- nomination of both Roose- welt and Garner, and fore casted that they will carry as many states in 1886 as they did in 1882.
 The actual date for the re- publicans to meet is Decem Der 18th, and the demo- crats on January 2 or 8.
 They are to pick a con- vention city for next sum- mer and transact other bus mess. Farley said that no choice of a city had been made for the democrats, but that his understanding was that Chicago, Phila- delphia and probably Kan sas City and St. Louis would bid.
 The city getting the con- vention usually puts up be- tween two hundred and fifty thousand dollars to help defray the expenses.
 Farley indicated that the democrats would convene sometime after the republi cans who are expected to meet early next June in a city yet to be selected.

Townsend Plan
 Cause Anxiety
 To Both Parties
(By The Associated Press)

Washington, Dec. 5, - The growth of the Town send old age pension move ment stirred political talk as the strategists of both major parties sought to guage its probable inf1uen- ce on the 1886 elections.
 Leaders generally con- ceded that it wouldn't be an issue in the voting for pres ident, but stated it might cut across party lines in the balloting for members of congress, possibly to the extent of scoring upsets in normally republican and democratic districts.
 B.G Rankin, aide to Dr. F E Townsend, originator of the movement which would give two hundred dollars a month to all per- sons over sixty years of age, asserted however, that it would affect the presi- dential election, on account of the number of persons connected with the move ment.
 Various estimates place the membership at from 4 to 8 millions. Congressional leaders who have been tour ing the country, agree that the movement has attract ed a following of formid- able strength.

TAKE. IT OR
 LEAVE IT IS
 FINAL WORD
(By The Associated Press)

Undated, Dec. 5, - Great Britain and Fran ce have given Italy a set of suggestions for ending the Ethiopian war, with an appended comment which said in effect that Italy could take it or leave iti'
 Diplomatic sources said it represented the last word from London and Paris be- fore the oil embargo was established.
 The attitude of the Ital- ian government has regist- cred no apparent change.
 The proposals did not fix the plans for peace but merely were suggestions to forestall any possibilities of a complete rejection by Il Duce.
 The suggestions were re ported to have included the cession of a seaport in It. aly's east African colony of Eritrea to Ethiopia, and a slight change in the from tier between Ethiopia's northen Tigre province and Eritrea, leaving Ethio- pia in control of the holy city of Aksum.
 Other suggestions were reported to be the acquisi- tion by Italy of Ethiopian territory south of eight de- grees north latitude includ- ing Ogden province, and west to thirty-eight degrees east longitude, the remaind CT of Ethiopia to be entire ly independent.
 The Italians are watch ing the United States closely for further indi- cations of her attitude. The United States furn- ishes about six percent of Italy's oil imports, and could, if desired meet all her emergency require mentS.
 From London came the report that the battle cruis CTS Hood and Renown, with other vessels were being rushed to Gibraltar, and are going out into the At- lantic for exercises this week.

POLITICAL OBSEQUIES

The pronouncement of political obsequies always is hazardous undertaking The departed has confusing habit of sitting up and showing every sign of life in the midst o the ceremonies But in the of the republican old guard the evidence at the inquest particularly con- vincing.
 Not only in the election returns but in the of the campaign itself the chief sufferer that rockrbbed conservatism which for many years controlled not only the republican party but the whole of government policy at Washington.
 The extent of the change of front appears not to be generally realized Many have referred to Reed of Penn syvana the last apostle of that school of thought Even he however said in his campaign that he favored more liberal viewpoint than the old republican viewpoint
 Hanna and Aldrich probably would have considered him young tinged with radicalism His campaign well his ultimate defeat eloquent testimony how far party sentiment has moved. -
 Now Republican Chairman Fletcher, himself product the old school says the necessary party pathway for the future toward greater liberalism. That to make it about unanimous.
 it not for the continuing character of this trend might be supposed that the present low estate of the old conservatism merely is passing phase.
 Many forget that the decline of the old guard began many years ago. and gained great acceeaon in the days when republican administrations riding high at Washington.
 Theodore Roosevelt gave "old guardsmen scare but little more They stayed in the saddle though their grip on the reins began to be less sure.
 The real descent toward extinction began as far back
