POLICE BOOKINGS GAIN
DURING PAST YEAR

For a city of 10000 people, police
bookings of 1870 people during year
seems too much.
In Chief of Police J. Sterling Oswalt's
report for 1886 he listed that number
of men and women arrested for various
crimes during the year, representing an
increase of $50 over 1884
Many factors have entered into the
gain in police bookings, Chief Oswald
declares. Because Ell Centre is situated
on a main highway into California it
provides convenient resting place for
penniless transients who have been pour
ing into the state during the past year,
thereby creating crime problems. A large
gain in Filipino laborers, many of whom
are unemployed trouble-makers, has
added to the bookings both in the city
and the sheriff's office.

PRESIDENTS IDEA
A GOOD ONE

Again the President is causing poll
teal tongues to wag. Not that this is
anything unusual for Franklin d. Roose-
welt, because making good talk stuff
is an art of which he is past master.
This time the subject of conversation
was nothing more serious than that
President Roosevelt wished to make his
address to congress at a joint session
held in the evening instead of during
daylight working hours.
Obviously his desire was to select
an hour when the masses of citizens
could hear first hand over their radios,
his actual voice and words. They heard
for themselves his report of steward
ship-that is, they did unless they went
to the movies.
The idea was good one, so good
that we wonder why it has not been
done regularly. After all, the chief exec
utive is responsible to the people and
we of the masses should have the right
and constitutional privilege of hearing
him and weighing his words. That pol
itical opponents try to read something
insidious into the suggestion fools no
one. 1t is the opponents jobs to find
fault and we excuse them.
The objection that Roosevelt used
this method to stir the political pot is
no objection at all, as everyone knows
that what goes on in congress is meant
for political ears and eyes.
The voter is the man who owns this
nation. Because of his immediate econ
omic duties, he ,should not be deprived
of the pleasure enjoyed by the jobless,
of listening to the radio reproduction
of what goes on at the congressional
ringside. And of all people who should
be stimulated constantly into greater
interest in government, and greater
knowledge of governmental problems,
none is so important as the man and
woman behind the ballot.

HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 4. U.R)-Sam-
uel Goldwyn winces at the name
Anya Taranda, blondly decorative
damsel, newly fished from the
chorus and embarked for stardom,
so he has hired a numerologist to
rechristen her.
Few would take issue with Mr..
Goldwyn over his dislike Of the
name. After all, it does sound rath-
er like pullman car.
But eyebrows are reasonably sure
to be raised over his method OF Sc
lecting a new one. 1t is probably the
very first time a studio has con-
suited an oracle for such purpose.
Stars by the dozen have been re-
named and launched in Hollywood,
with and without the benefit OF
champagne, but the cognomen is
usually chosen by lot Of guys nam
ed Joe, Bill, Herm and the like, who
do it by sitting around a table
throwing exotica at each other
through cigar smoke until all are
tired out and willing 10 agree on
anything.
Such procedure was far too SIM
pie for the Showmanlike Mr.. Gold
wyn, however. With no little fan
fare, the numerologist was retain
ed, escorted to the studio by small
procession, and installed on a set

GOD OF WAR SMILES AT
VOICE IN WILDERNESS

Like feeble voice in the wilderness,
Halle Selassie, King of Kings, cries to
the League of Nations that Italy is not
conducting its warfare according to the
rules.
He objects to the bombing of Red
Cross hospitals, use of poison gas on
non-combatants and all the other ter
rible devices of modern implements of
death.
But it is to be expected that Mus
solini, safe in the comparative peace of
his Roman capital, will not ask his le-
gions to file for future reference the vast
supply of incendiary bombs, the stacks of
poison gas projectiles, that, exploding,
leave fearful Philippians choking and
scared with the death-dealing vapors.
The latest instruments of annihila-
ton will be continued as they always
are. Mars, the god of war; looks down
from the heights of Olympus and smiles
with satisfaction when guns boom and
planes roar aloft with deadly cargo
ready to drop upon the enemy. The

of paper that once tried to make war
more civilized.

WHETHER your hand is strong

ems: on an average you will win
more if another player leads your

lead. 1t will pay all of us to bear in
mind something concerning losses
due to fourth best leads.
Few players are rash enough to
make opening leads against suit
calls, from a suit headed by Ace or
x, or one containing tenace. Most
of these players, however, never ap-
pear to realize that opening leads of
suits headed by Q's or Us are also
bad. In fact, III proportion to the
relative values of K, @, j and 10,
leading blindly away from one Of
those honors is precisely as bad as
such a lead from any other one of
them.
In the long run the top card (aS
10, from 10-9-8-X, the 9, from 3d.
6-2) is a better opening lead than a
fourtn-best card. Rather than lead
a fourth-best card from Q-J-X-X or

Unless every other opening lead
apparently is worse, avoid leading
through a suit bid by dummy. Your
blind lead of such suit may allow

mately. It also may permit declarer
TIC obtain one or more valuable dis

How 1t came about is hard to
state, but the average player thinks
he must lead the top card of part
ner's suit. If the top card happens to
be either Ace of K, probably leading
the high honor will be the thing
most desired by partner. Should you
mold four or more of partners suit
