One thing to remember is that
there are no rules in bridge that

For example, in todays hand,

it is proper to play high-low, so
that your partner will give you a

is too dangerous.
Now, let US take South's hand.
He has made an opening bid; his

The suit brought by John D. Mont

join the governor of the Federal Re-
serve Board issuing any more money,
which was dismissed yesterday by
Justice Joseph w. Cox Of District
Court, probably will be renewed
shortly, 1t was learned today.
Justice Cox granted the request Of
Montgomery's attorney. J. Eugene
Gardner, for leave to amend his bill
of complaint, showing more definitely
how he claims he is injured by the
issuance Of currency by Federal Re-
serve banks.
Holding that Montgomery's suit
failed to allege that he had any di-
rect interest which would justify him
in bringing the action, Justice Cox
granted Government motion to dis
miss. United States Attorney Leslie
c. Garnett represented the Federal
Reserve oficials.
Montgomery asked not only that no
more Federal Reserve notes be is
sued, but that the board be ordered
to withdraw all now in circulation.
He charged that Congress was with

power to coin money, and that the

EDLEY BROWN and Allie Lowe
Miles, who conduct the "Hus-
bands and wives" program, are
- getting some astounding an
swers in their radio contest to pick the
happiest and unhappiest married
couples in the United States. Every
body who writes in claiming the title
has to give a pretty good reason why
the claim is valid.
The tough part comes in those
letters from the "unhappiest couples"
One of the rules Is that they must
not be divorced or even considering
divorce.
A good many of the questions con-
sidered in the Husbands and Wives"
broadeasts are problems that make
marriage unhappy. The people heard
on the programs give their solutions
TO these problems.
One husband and wife, without
knowing it, were entered in the con-
test. They are Mr.. and Mrs. Robert
Brown, a blind couple of Johnstown,
Pa, who appeared on recent broad
cast and were entered in the race
for the happiest couple.
Mrs. Brown declared: "They say
love is blind, but my husband and I,
who are blind, know it isn't so.'

The Supreme Court established q
precedent in workmen's compensation

partnership formed by a Madison

evading the law was valid.
Under the decision, Jesse B. York
Of Monroe, who claimed compensation
for silicosis, lost an award which the

should have.
The record showed that Schligen

dissolved two years later.

Park Opening in
Smoky Mountains
Awaits More Funds
More Acreage Must Be Bought;
100000 Is Needed to
Buy Land

In answer to many inquiries that
have been received by the Federal
Park service as to the status of the
Smoky Mountains National park, it
was stated Sat. that formal opening
and development faces delay, be-
cause 100000 is needed to complete
land purchases.
This does not mean, according to
Washington authorities, that this
great hardwood area, the largest in
the world, that is to be dedicated as
a national park, will be lost, but
merely that plans for development
by the government will be deferred.
When Tennessee and North Carolina
combined interests to acquire the
necessary 428,000 acres as . mini
mum for the park area, it was
thought that funds would easily be
raised, but the depression prevented
many from contributing who had
subscribed, and the 73rd Congress
appropriated a million and half
dollars to meet the deficit of the two
States, in order to obtain the half
million dollars offered by the Rookie
teller foundation. The two million
dollars thus made available was
spent in extending the area to AGO.
600, and this has been taken over by
the government for administration
and protective purposes, but it will
not be developed until the additional
$500 acres needed to meet the mini
mum requisite of $4,000 acres, Sec
rotary Ickes is now endeavoring to
find the money in emergency funds
to buy the additional land. If he is
unsuccessful, it will be necessary to
ask Congress for additional funds,
meanwhile, the park, now under
government administration, is open
tothe public and is being visited by
hundreds of tourists daily through
both the Tennessee and the North
Carolina gateways.
Fortunately, CCC camps are dis
tributed throughout the park, and
roads and trails are being construct
ed, camping places located, and 9TH
er facilities established, which are in
fact far-reaching developments in
this world of scenic grandeur
