from her head and sailed out over the ocean.

The man leaning against the rail spoke.
You're the most inhibited person I've ever

What - inhibited - why?' Jane was try

umbrella and her hair was whipping into her
eyes.
"You clutch your skirts with both hands

The tall man threw back his head and roared

As they walked along the covered deck,
Jane felt the glow of exultation which comes
from an unexpected victory. On her first day
at sea she had decided the tall man was the
only possible cavalier on board. But the tall
man evidently had mind of his own. He came
on BOARD alone - and alone he stayed
Now, at the very end of the voyage, after
she'd given up all hope, here she was walk

employment So long as unemployment is deferred
the cost of relief is the penalty. If business can
thus link up its pocket interest with the humani-
tartan interest of the government, basis of prac-
tcal cooperation may be found AT the moment it
is fragile link Yet if the Administration and
business can suspend their running exchange of
epithets, and find a common area in which they can
operate under a truce, both sides might find it to
their advantage. But that will require more self
control on both sides of Lafayette Square than

NNE important factor in judging the maneuv-

French politicians sought to lash up public
sentiment, but without success it is reported
here They are said to be convinced that French
sentiment will not support war over the rearming
Of the Rhineland. Should Hitler cross much
as three feet into French territory-that would be
something different
This explains why French leaders, knowing that
Hitler is preparing for in the spring of 1888,
are willing now to let the Rhineland question go
into negotiaton-this plus the pro-peace pressure
of great Britain and the understanding that Soviet
Russia would not come to Frances aid unless Hit

THUS it would appear that public sentiment is

This play of an unnecessarily
high card on partners opening lead,
especially when the dummy held a
singleton, asked West to shift to the
higher of the suits not trump, which
in this case was hearts
Of course, it was a little difficult
for West to figure out why his part
ner wanted heart shift; neverthe-
less, he called for it and a heart it
was.
Declarer could have trumped
Vests heart return in dummy. If
he had, it probably would have

OF course there must be stars who can bounce

Rhine, to London and Madrid, covering specific

This is not to deny that some of the daredevil
Journalists of what might be called the camel corps
phase of foreign correspondence had experiences
thoroughly worth the telling. But very often such
adventures take more time and money than they
are worth as pure reading matter, and the tendency
now is to tell who, what when, where and why and

TINE United States Bureau of

thoroughly aroused, demands
smoke abatement, no permanent
