asked again.
They felt, rather than con-

fall on the crowd on the dance
floor. Then a whisper ran
through the room. Piercing the
murmur came a frightened remon-
STRANGE from the proprietor,
please, boss, don't let's have no
trouble here. I don't want no
trouble, Mr.. Mackenzie"
Tony stiffened. He felt what
was coming. He did not see
Mackenzie contemptuously shove
the proprietor aside, but he did
see the livid face of Mackenzie
as the latter approached, peering
into booth after booth.

Mackenzie came to halt at

in a fury, his face purpling. He
deliberately began to peel off a
heavy coat.
Tony slid out of the booth
quietly.

he said.
Let her stay!" roared MacKen-

vancing giant.
Il don-v want to fight you," he
said evenly. You're Mary's

right. Tony drew back his head
with a quick motion that revealed
the experienced boxer as the fist
swished past his nose. Somebody

Tony sidestepped to avoid another
whistling swing.
Stand up and fight!" grunted
Mackenzie. A quick glance told
Tony he had been forced almost
to the rear wall of the room.
Shouts of "Yellow!" and Fight"
came from the crowd which
quickly encircled the two men.
"All right" muttered Tony, des-
perately. "You asked for it,"
LIE tented, cat-like, with his

Kenzie the expected wild right

behind a lightning like right hook
that went home directly to the
point of MacKenzie's stubbly
chin. Mackenzie stumbled back

and fell twisting to the floor.
Tony took two quick steps toward
the fallen giant.
But he did not get up. Two
men leaped to his side, and be-
gan assisting him to his feet. A
buzz Of excitement swept the
crowded room. None of them ever
had seen Mackenzie down before.
Tony stepped quickly into the
booth where Mary stood, a trem-
bling witness to the short en-
counter.

Tony hurriedly. I'm getting out.

Solution to Previous
Contract Problem
BY WIN. E. M'KENNEY
Secretary American Bridge League

THE Cleveland Whist Club,
L. which reelected Elmer j.
Babin as it's president, is one of
the oldest bridge clubs in the
United States. It has been called
the mother club" of successful
duplicate bridge in the United
States.
The club conducts all major
tournaments in Cleveland, in
Guiding the annual Ohio State
contract tournament, which is to
be held this year the week of
April %. This tournament ranks
second only to the nationals.
Babin is member of the we'll
known Western Reserve team of
Cleveland, and at present he is
leading in the Cleveland Inter
club Whist League standings.
In today's hand, he employs q
varition of the suicide squeeze to
make his contract. A suicide
squeeze is play by which you let
one of the opponents run off his
long suit, but in doing so he
squeezes his partner.
Today, however, we find that,
while trying to establish trick
for himself, declarer sets the suit
up for the opponents, but in CASH
ing that suit, one opponent
squeezes the other.
The opening lead of the five of
spades was won in dummy with
the jack. To make his contract,
declarer can see that either the
heart or the club suit must break,
or a trick must be established in
diamonds.
Declarer decided to try to estab-
lish a trick in diamonds and led a
low diamond from dummy, play
ing the jack. East won with the
queen and returned the eight of
clubs, North winning with the queen.
A small diamond was played, the
eight spot finesSed, and West won
with the nine. AS West had no
other entry, he decided to cash his
ace and king of diamonds. East
discarded two spades.
Vests next play was a spade.
North refused to take the finesse
and went up with the ace. He
then led small club, winning in
dummy with the ace.
A club was returned, declarer won
with the king, and East was hope

DISGUISED.
Answer-It seems to me that any
wife has the right to withdraw from
a union so miserable that it is break
ing down her health. If there are
children whose actual bread and
butter are at stake it is impossible
to do so, but you mention none and
you seem to be self-supporting.

than living in anguish with a man

There is no easy cure for an
habitual drinker. Sometimes it is a
matter of physical treatment, some
times case for psychological re-
adjustment. Either way it is eXpen-

this customary? Would a fellow

it isn't proper, how can fellows
know that she has tickets or that
there is going to be such an occa-
sion? If it is proper, how would
girl go about asking a fellow?
THANK YOU.
Answer-If the tickets were
given to you, or if the affairs are
given by club of girls who are
not selling them to boys, it is
perfectly proper to tell your best
boy friend that you have such
tickets and would be glad to have
him go with you. To buy tickets
for dance where it is customary
for boys to take girls instead of
vice versa, would embarrass the
boy.

booths. The sound of laughter
and rough horseplay surged about

for himself, a lemonade for Mary.
While waiting for their orders,
each strove to be gay, but without
much success.

ness he did not feel at all.
"Greasy's got the plane all fixed

that 1 make more farewell ap-

Mary was little wistful as she
answered him: But Harry Lauder

Books Need Oil

Several times during the winter
while you have the steam heat
turned on, you should rub your
leather book bindings with soft
cloth dampened in boiled linseed oil
This is to keep the leather from
getting dry and splitting. If the
rubbing leaves any excess oil, wipe
it off with a dry cloth.

been so much left unsaid between
them. Despite MacKenzie'S I'M
reasoning rage, Tony knew he
must see Mary-soon. Mean
while the damaged plane made as
good an alibi as any. Greasy
worked at the wing with concen-
trated fury, the now-frayed letter
from his Montreal sweetheart
sticking out of his jumper pocket.
Several days passed, and Mac
Kenzie kept Mary close within
their house. Tony began to fear
that Greasy'S furious energy
would have the plane ready to fly
before he could see Mary at all.
Then, on the very night when
Greasy triumphantly announced
that, she's ready to fly again."
Tony succeeded in meeting Mary.

to the booth where his daughte

"Oh, dad began Mary, lifting a
stained face.
Get home!" repeated MacKen-
zie. Together father and daugh-
ter walked through the circle of
wide-eyed lumbermen and their
girls, and out into the night.
Tony wasted no time. Know
ing that more trouble could be
expected of Mackenzie, he went
directly home to DR.. Luke's. and
ascertained that Greasy had fin
ished his job, that the plane was
ready to fly. Then he turned in,
his plans made.
When Constable Jim Ogden,
early next morning, appeared in
front of DR.. Luke's house, Tony
had been up and around for a
long time. His laSt-minute in
Spection of the plane was already
completed. And as Ogden ap-
preached, lingering folded white
paper, Tony slipped out the back
door.
1t was Nurse Kennedy who
opened the door for the con-
stable. Tony had seen to it that
she came over to get him an early
breakfast.
Know where I can find Tony?"

rate casualness.
Surely. Right here. Inside.

was to give her the gun" The
hurricane from the propeller blew
the warrant from Ogden's hand,
and he ducked quickly as the wing
swung around and the plane
Strengthened out with rush
down the pasture lot.
Tony turned the plane at the
far end of the field to get into
the wind, and now came rushing
back directly toward the pair.
With a roar he put the planes

over their heads with a gay wave

All Moosetown rushed to win

of the plane was heard. The plane
seemed reluctant to leave, but
circled continually. Then the

dip suddenly and SWOOD down
over the house of Mackenzie.
Few of them saw a tiny hand

And none of them heard Mac

18TH 81. N. w.:
Near to the heart of the city
and in one of those lovely 18th
Street homes is an opportunity
for lonely girl to share spacious
room and private bath. This
house is located a stones throw
away from Scott Circle and it is
only matter of five or ten min
utes to the business and theatrical
district. The room is furnished
quite adequately to take care of
two young ladies, for there are
individual dresserS, studio divans
and exceptionally large closet for
their clothes. A beautifully fur
niShed reception room is at their
disposal for entertaining, and I
feel very sure they will be happy
in such pleasant surroundings.
Meals will be served, breakfast
and dinner. Rental $42.50.
NEAR 18TH AND COL. RD.:
In my travels around I ran
across vacancy that is we'll worth
investigating for many reasons.
First, because of it's location, which
is not only an exclusive one, but
exceptionally convenient to both
uptown and downtown. The room
I have reference to is on the Sec
ond floor front; has new maple
twin beds and studio couch, CIV
ing sleeping accommodations for
three. The meals are substantial
with varied and well-balanced
menus. You will like the atmoS-
phere Of this home and the rates
will please you.

The managers of this guest
house pride themselves on their
attractive home. Every little at
tention that is needed to further
the welfare of their guests will be
given, as well as carefully planned
meals served in an appetizing
manner. If you are disguised and
discouraged in your search for
clean, comfortable quarters, 1 feA
that your problem will be solved
If you inspect this.

Here's a house at the corner of

ultimate in home comfort. The
rooms are not only we'll furnished

bright and sunny. At this time
there are several vacancies both
single and double. An appealing
feature to consider about this
house is it's extremely home-like
atmosphere.
A NEW DOWNTOWN TEA
ROOM WITH FURN. ROOMS:
A well-known young lady who
has run successfully guest house
on Que Street for a number of
years has opened a tea room in
combination with some newly
decorated furnished rooms which
can be had with or without meals.
It is located in the art center of
the city, which is rapidly growing,
and compares favorably with the
famous Greenwich Village of New
York. Special attention has been
given to the decorations and the
meals will be found tempting in
every way. It is not necessary
for me- to elaborate on the deSir.

be made at once.
1900 BLOCK QUE ST. N. W.:
In the immediate neighborhood
of the Cairo Hotel is a small,
charming guest house that has sew
eral types of vacancies. One is an
attractive room furnished as bed

of the most interesting arrange
mentS of windows with wide, cozy
seats built all around that can also
be used for storage space. I have

the best, plentiful and served in
real home style. Rates are most
