P|NOCH[E TRAINS
SIMS FOR BRIDGE
Expert Finds 1t Stimulating
in Preparing for CuIbert-
son Match.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. January 3.-Pinochle
Is great camel"
This remark was made by P. Hal
Sims when discovered playing two
handed pinochle with his wife at his
apartment.
For several days Sims has been
missing from his usual bridge haunts.
Other bridge experts surmised that he
had retired with his wife to practice
for their coming match with Ely Gull
bertSon. Surprisingly, when discovered
at his apartment, he was found to be
playing pinochle.
"Pinochle," said Sims, combines
both skill and chance; SO, necessarily,
the great playing public will always
consider 1t as being one of the two
finest card games ever invented, the
other one being contract bridge.
1T teaches one of the most neces-
sary elements of contract bridge" he
continued, the principle of counting
down the hand. All the strips, elimi
nation plays, end plays and squeezes
are everyday occurrences in pinochle.
Auction pinochle was the inspiration
of both auction and contract bridge.
AS matter of fact, am really play
ing the game to practice up for my
coming match with Culbertson."
Sims furthermore said a national
card organization is being formed,
with the leading card experts of Amer
lea actively connected with it.
The National Card League" he
said, will include all of the scientific
games like pinochle and contract. The
leading experts from Portland to
Portland are taking an active part in
the formation of this organization,
which will be non-profit league. with
the aim of eventually standardiZing
all card games"
''It might even be possible to hold
poker championship" said Sims.
The bridge players have had their
share of the spotlight; so why not
give the players of other games a
chance?"

NEW CANAL NEED SEEN
Swanson Believes Nicaraguan
Link Would Aid Traffic.

Secretary Swanson declared yester-
day that he foresees the need for the
American Government to construct
the Nicaragua canal, to shorten coast
to-coaSt travel by from 900 to 1900
miles and to accommodate the grow
ing commerce OF the world.
The cabinet officer made it clear
that as Secretary Of the Navy he has
been neither for nor against the
Nicaragua canal. The Navy, he de-
clared, has never officially been asked
to express an opinion on the projected
canal. The time will come. however.
he observed, when the Panama Canal
can not accommodate the commerce

At the time the mother left

changed this. putting on a blue
dress but failing to put on her

Richard Tear, the slain girls

on the porch until 9:15, then
wrote a note and left for work.

found her daughter missing.
On Wednesday, Mr.. Tear came
to The Times office with a photo

that it be published with her de-

He was accompanied by her

From a chemical analysis of the

Tear continued today to aid
police in their investigation Of
the case. Late yesterday he went

Miss Loring knew Tear only

girl did not know many men.

CURIOUS STARE
AT GRIEF OF
L0RINGS
Mothers Sobs Resound
In flushed Church;
Fiance Calm

The friends who would have at
tended her wedding just week
ago and the hundreds of strangers
who had never heard of Corinna
Loring a week ago attended her
funeral yesterday.
Her friends and her family
were grief-stricken, but hundreds
of strangers we're there only to
stare at the family and the fiance,
and to scrutinize the scores of
police in the hope that something
would happen-that they would
be treated to a thrill.
1t was a groteSque day, from
the early grey morning when the
steady stream of curiosity seekers
began their parade before the bier
of Corinna Loring at the Gasch
funeral parlors in Hyattsville, Md,
to the cold night when the thrill
seekers still crowded before the
small Loring home in Mt. Rainier.
Just Too Late
From 8 o'clock in the morning
until the coffin lid was closed over
Corinna's white-robed body, the
crowds Swarmed into the funeral
parlors. Even after that, a woman
who had never seen nor heard Of
Corinna Loring until Saturday.
when her murdered body was
found, entered the hushed room
only to find she was too late.
'Oh, dear, just missed it," she
said.
Hundreds crowded the little Mt.
Rainier Church and hundreds
more stood outside, Drawing the
chill rain in the same hope that
they might witness "the break" in
the mysterious murder.
Bowed with grief, her steps fal-
tering, Mrs. George Loring, the
girls mother, entered the church.
There she is; that's the
mother" and hundreds of fingers
pointed and hundreds of eyes
stared at the tragic figure of
woman who has kept to herself
since the brutal news was brought
to her that her daughters body
was found in a clump Of woods
not far from the house in which
she had grown up.
Tear Calm in Grief
In the church, flanked on either
side by her husband and her
soldier-son, Frank, the mother sat
as tears ran down her cheeks.
Once the sound of her sobs re-
sounded through the stilled
church.
Richard Tear, who would have
been married to Corinna two days
after she disappeared from her
home, was there-calm and quiet
in his grief.
At the Fort Lincoln Cemetery,
he looked as though the tears
would come at any moment.

search.
Friend Tells Dream
Two days before the body was
found, P. A. Maccarone, a sign
painter with offices at 1925 New
York Ave. N. W., a close friend
Of the Loring family, dreamed he
saw Corinna's face all black
"out doors somewhere.
He told Chief of Police Eugene
Plumer of Mount Rainier of this
and the following night, Friday,
Mr.. Maccarone again dreamed of
Corinna, but this time he saw
only the right hand and arm
raised above her head. This was
Its position when found.
So certain was Mr.. Maccarone
that his dream was true that he
suggested searching the Saddle
back Ridge. The body was found
before the search got under way.

Body Bruised
When found on the Saddle
Back, the slain girls left arm and
hand were by her left side. Her
right arm was extended over her
head and the fingers Of this hand
were curled into the palm. The
right hand was blue and doctors
explain this probably was caused
when the hand was bruised after
death, as if her hand had been
tightly gripped.
Her face was bruised, bloated
and diScolored and appeared in
the first stages Of decomposition.
Both eyes were closed. Tiny holes
were in both temples, and were
surrounded by dried blood that
also covered part of her face. Her
lips were swollen and feet were
spread slightly apart.
Corinna was wearing black,
suede shoes (oxfordS) and the
right shoe was partly off. She
was wearing a blue dress which
was spread neatly over her hips
and came to just above her knees.

attractiveness takes 1t right out Of the
utilitarian classification. That does
not mean that 1t is an impractical gar

how well it fits. We don't believe in

fit trinity around the waist and hips

The Old Gardener Says :

Transplanting is a very neces-
sary gardening operation, but one
which is carried on most sue
cessfully when the sky is over
cast. If cabbages or other young
plants with large leaves are being
transplanted, it will be found
good practice to clip OF about
one half of each leaf. Often part
of the root formation Of celery
is clipped away at transplanting
time. If tall and leggy tomato
plants are to be set out, the
lower part of the stalks may be
turned to. one side and covered
with soil. This plan will pro-
duce shorter, more stocky plants
and new roots will be produced
on the part Of the stems under
ground. Frequently holes are left
under plants, which die as q re-
suit. This danger will be avoided
if a cone-shaped mound is made
in the center of the hole, the
work being done quickly and
roughly with the hand or trowel.
