Monday night on the Lincoln highway,
three miles east of Lancaster, Pa.
Driven by H. C. Stevens, AS, their
chauffeur, Mr.. and Mrs. Hopkins were
on the way from their home in Will
mington to Harrisburg to see Colonel
Henry breckenridge, an old FRIEND

tial primary in Pennsylvania against
President Roosevelt on Monday.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hopkins were in the
rear seat. In the front seat with
Stevens was Arthur D. Kelsey, q, OF

Hopkins.
According to Stevens, the automo-
bile left the shoulder of the road, side

Both Mr.. and Mrs. Hopkins died in
stantly of fractured skulls. The other
two were not injured.
Mr.. Hopkins, who was so, was born

the bar in 1912 and three years later
went again with the DUPONT Com

partment, specializing in real estate
tax, legislation, trade marks and copy

Mr.. Hopkins was always interested
in politics. He was a Democrat but
never sought a political office.
He and Mrs. Hopkins were members
of st. Andrews Church, Eighth and
Shipley street, Wilmington, where Mr..
Hopkins was also a member of the
vestry. He belonged to the American

Detective Brass.

Being a hero doesn't make any
real difference to plain, ordinary
policeman, and you can take the word
of Detective Sergt. Frank Brass for 1t.
Sergt. Brass should know, too, be-
cause he holds the last medal for
valor awarded by the Metropolitan
Police Department, made In 1884, as
official recognition of Outstanding
acts in the line of duty" No award
was made last year because no act
was sufficiently outstanding to merit
an award.
Commenting on the Rainbow Di-
vision veterans offer Of medal OF
valor to the fireman, policeman and
civilian performing an act Of bravery
during the coming year. Sergt Brass
said:
Its nice to have a medal like that,
and I'm glad got mine, although
I didn't know was going to get it
until months after the incident for
which it was awarded occurred. It's
something that everybody doesn't
have.
When went over to that hotel on
that robbery case never though about
an act of valor. You don't have time
for that on the police force. You
just take things as they come. Lots
of members of the department have
some things like that happen every
day"
But that robbery case" in the
downtown hotel, which Brass passed
off as part of the days work, was de-
scribed by his superiors as involving
unusual personal risk" In COM
menting on his work in the case, the
District Commissioners commended
Brass for your efficiency, couraNe
and outstanding service in capturing
single handed at the immediate risk
of your life, and after an exchange
of gunfire, four armed criminals, who
were lying in wait in the apartments
of Messrs. Harry Smith and Tom
Moore for the purpose Of robbing
binding and gagging them"
All four of the men captured were
later convicted of housebreaking ir

in spades to justify his double
and then his two no trump bid,
so we find the rather unusual
player bidding three spades on
four small spades.
The Play
This is the way the hand was
played. Vests opening lead, nine
of diamonds, was won by South
with the queen.
Declarer decided he must make
as many of the small trump as
possible. He played the nine of
clubs and won in dummy with the
ace. A small ID was ruffed with,
the deuce Of spades.
A small diamond was won in
dummy with the king. The ace
of diamonds was cashed and a
heart discarded by South. The
queen of hearts was led, East re-
fused to cover and small heart
was played by declarer.
A small club from dummy came
next, and was ruffed with the
three Of spades. Declarer now led
the ace Of hearts. If West
trumped, the trick would be over
trumped in dummy, another club
ruffed, and declarer would still
make his king of spades.
If West discarded the king OF
clubs on the ace of hearts, de-
clarer would still make the king
jack of spades for ten tricks, CIV
ing him his contract of three
doubled and redoubled with an
overtrick.

XXTOODFORD stirred uncomfort-
wv ably in his chair. You're sure
you've told no one besides this Miss
Sanders who shares an apartment
with you?"
Julia hesitated, wondering how
much she should reveal to Wood
ford. She remembered having told
Tom Payson that Nesbitt had been
injured-but she hadn't told him of
Nesbitt's disappearance from the
yacht.
Suddenly she decided to play safe,
to hold from Woodford the fact that
Payson knew something of the
cruise Of the Wood Nymph. And
If she did tell the lawyer that Pay
son knew, he might shrewdly con-
meet Payson with the young man
who had tried to trick his way into
the radio room of the yacht.
No =" Julia said slowly. I'm
quite sure I've mentioned it to no
one else"
WOodford got up from his chair
and walked to the window. He stood
silent moment, looking out. Then
quickly he turned to Julia again.
when did you tell Miss Sanders?'
only last night"
Woodford's relief was like mask
dropped suddenly over his worried
features, Then she can't have had
much time to talk" he said.
Amy doesn't talk idly" defended
Julia. But why all this fretting
over what I've said about the trip,
Mr.. Woodford? Is this why you
asked me to come here?"
YES" Woodford answered quick
ly. Its extremely important that
you or your friend say nothing about
the cruise of the Wood Nynph to
\ Evergreen Island. I want you to
get in touch with her Immediately,
and advise her to keep quiet"
"DUT " Julias heart sank
ID at the inference his words
conveyed, but why, Mr.. Wood
ford?"
He faced her squarely. Julia,
you've worked in a law Office. You
know very well that more than
one business has been ruined--or
at least badly harmed-by the
thoughtless babble of some employee.
This is "a similar situation"
I've worked for you long enough
to be entitled to know what person
is concerned, haven't II" asked
Julia, smiling.
But you aren't inside the firni
now" returned Woodford. I'm
afraid I'll have to deny you that
information, Julia. I'll simply say
that it involves-domestic difficult
ties"
II see, Mr.. Woodford." Julia
stood up, certain that he was ly-

dress, which means active sports
clothes most of the day.
Even with many changes you
will want some OF them TO be
washable, dependably so. Con-
slider the piques, the gabardjnes,
the linens along with your fan
nels and jerseys, and make sure
that the ones you're getting will
not shrink away from their
smooth tailored lines.
There is a unique process called
sanforizing that is used as a safe
guard against shrinkage for the
incest cotton play clothes. That
is why those pique play shorts
with the little girl blouse, photo
graphed in the center of the
group, can be washed like a
hankie and will not kick back
through shrinkage. The same
applies to the divided skirt of
dark toned linen, and the sailor
