HERE and
THERE
A Good Man Is Called
By W. NJ. Smith


my own family, died Tuesday
morning at his home, 1929 4th ave-
nue. south, after lingering illness
of almost four years. Jeffrey's
wife, Mrs. Letitia Jeffrey, who
shared his joys and SORROWS
through many a long year, was one
Of my household at the time Of
their marriage and the intimacy
that began at that time has con-
tinued with never a misunderstood
ing or an unkind word up to the
moment Of his passing.
It will ever be one of my most
cherished memories that through
the close association of the years
we spent working together in the
postal service of Minneapolis, he
developed into one of the most out
standing and serviceable civic
minded persons this city has ever
known.
Mr.. Jeffrey was unusually well
qualified unsteady and, although
he neither played or sang, his
abilities as a teacher of chorus
singing were used without stint
and called into being a number Of
fine musical organizations that rem
dered notable service in the ethical
development of his city.
The Muse choral society which
he organized sang over the radio,
before many church groups and in
the days when annual concerts by
the best choirs of the city were
heard in the rotunda of the court
house, his society was numbered
among the best.
AS musician he was far ahead
of his time; many of the more diff
ficult compositions now being sung
were rendered by his we'll trained
singers years before they made
popular appeal. He directed the
choir music of the st. Thomas
Episcopal Church for a long and
successful period and was a men,
Der of that religious body when he
was called.
AS president of the Minneapolis
Sunday Forum he piloted it
through a number of lean years
and left it as one of the major
features of a growing cultural in
terest. But the characteristic I ap-
preciated in him most was his de-
pendability. Jeffrey's word was
better than his bond. He was out
spoken, said what he thought and
ofttimes quite bluntly. But his
heart was in the right place and to
me it was ever a source of great
satisfaction to know that here was
a man who would always attempt,
at least, to do the thing he had
promised.
Three years ago increasing ILL
ness forced his retirement from
the government service to which
he had given almost SO years Of
faithful service; he left with the
highest regard Of all with whom
he had been associated.
Since that time he has remained
at home, the object of the unremit-
ting and tenderest care of his wife
and their only child, Miss Marienne
e. Jeffrey. Between himself and
this girl there existed a comradery
as rare as it was beautiful. Sci
dom has there been a more delight
full example of that Biblical injunc-
ton "Honor thy father and thy
mother"
Perhaps the greatest reward fol-
a well spent life lies in memory Of
those in whose service that life has
been given. In the hearts of those
who knew and loved him best the
memory Of w. C. Jeffrey will re.
main a source Of ever recurring
satisfaction and inspiration.

hand by means of low spade lead.
His Q won. The @ of hearts was
led through Souths X. The K COW
cred and dummy's Ace won. The
last two trumps were picked up
on the second heart lead. Declarer
was in with his 10 of hearts. The
j of spades won the next trick,
leaving only one card of that suit
missing. Dummy's K of spades
was overplayed with declarer's
Ace, leaving East with two long
spades, just as West had expected.
Both Of dummys clubs were dis
carded on declarer's two spades.
Dummy ruffed declarer's last club.
A single diamond trick was given
South-that was all. The point
count for game was 72O points for
the doubled and redoubled g.
Hearts, instead of being only 100
points, had not South doubled.
North bemoaned the fact that his
partner had not first led off his Ace
Of clubs, followed by the K of dia-
monds. AS matter Of fact, that
would not have defeated the con-
tract. Run through play to satisfy
yourself this is true.
A trick must be lost to the Ace
Of diamonds. To prevent needless
loss in case North happens to have
the missing K Of hearts, lead
dummy's K Of clubs and discard
the last diamond held by declarer.
Lead low spade from dummy.
Win with declarer's Q, as was done
when East actually played the
hand against the opening diamond
lead. Lead the @ Of hearts and
capture South's K. The declarer
will pull the last trump and spread
his hand for his 6-odd. The small
slam cannot be defeated by first
leading the Ace of clubs.
Henderson daily dispatch., 1936-09-22

Bidding went: South, 1-Club;
West, diamond; North, 2-Clubs,
perhaps hoping more diamonds
would be bid; East, 2-Spades;
South, 3-Clubs; West, S-Spades;
East, 4-Hearts, to show as long a
suit as the one already supported
by partner; South, 5-Clubs, to take
a uncomfortable loss, rather than
give game to vulnerable oppo-
nents; West, 5-Hearts, seeing an
opportunity to discard losers on
partners spade suit; East, g.
Hearts; South. Double; West, Re-
double.
South was undecided whether to
lead off his Ace of clubs or to lead
his K of diamonds. He finally led
the K. Dummy's Ace won the
trick.
Declarer gained access to his

strength the country needs to protect us from
invasion. He charges that the lack of a defense
policy and the lack of definition of defense
leads to ever-growing demands on our treasury
to support an army and navy for unknown pur-
poses, and results in grave misunderstanding
here and around the world of what our army and
navy are for.
To correct this present situation, Senator Ben
son has introduced a resolution asking the Presi-
dent to appoint a commission of civilians, who
will survey the nations defense needs and lay
down a defense policy in keeping with our avow-
ed expressions of peace. In doing so, the Sena-
tor is asking only what the Democratic party
pledged in its 1882 platform, which called for
just such a survey.
1t is beyond hope that Congress will take up
the Benson resolution at this session. But be-
fore our legislators in Washington act on the
army and navy bills next year, they ought to
find out what kind of defense is necessary, and
how well it is being provided. In other words,
we, the taxpayers, ought to know if we are get
ting our moneys worth.

What is National Defense?

Congress has appropriated sums for the army
and navy departments that during the next year
will touch the 81, 100000 mark. Such expen-
ditures in time of peace were vigorously con-
demned by members of the House and Senate
and by such organizations as the National Coun-
Gil for Prevention of War as placing America
squarely in an arms race, the end of which has
always been war.
Among the statesman protesting this unpre-
cedented war budget was Senator Elmer A. Ben
son, Farmer-Laborite of Minnesota. He point
ed out, and has since emphasized the fact, that
the United States has no policy whatever to
guide Congress in spending money for national
defense. Indeed, he asserts, although the ap-
preparations are made in the name of adequate
national defense" no one has ever come forward
to say what adequate national defense" is, or
how much of what kind of military and naval

Price Fixing Banned

The attempt of Judge Benjamin T. Epstein Of
the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, to end
price cutting in the dyeing and cleaning indus
try there by issuing an injunction forbidding the
charging of less than certain prices has been
blocked in an opinion handed down by the IL
linois Appellate Court denying the right Of a
court Of equity to limit free competition in this
manner.
The injunction issued by Judge Epstein at the
request of the Cleaning and Dyeing Plant Own
ers' Association of Chicago set the minimum
price for cleaning a dress or suit at 90 cents
when called for and delivered and at Is cents
for the cash and carry trade. Judge Epstein
granted the injunction under the assumption
that the court had the common law right to pro-
tect members Of an industry and the public from
harmful conditions caused by cutrate competi-
tors.
The edict of the Appellate Court overruling the
injunction was made on the application Of six
independent concerns who insisted on their leg
al right to cut prices at their own will, regard
less of the damaging result to others.

Crop Insurance

Crop Insurance for American farmers is Wis
toned as a probability by many members of the
Senate and House of Representatives following
the introduction OF a bill along this line by SEN
ator Pope OF Idaho. The principle is said to have
the support of the American Farm Bureau Fed
Grafton and other farmers organizations.
The bill would create a Federal Crop Insur-
ance Corporation from which farm operators
or owners could buy insurance against all nat
ural damages to any agricultural commodity in
process of growth. The premium charges
would be based on actual cost of the service,
and all profits would be used to reduce prem
iums ON subsequent policies.
It is understood the measure will be strenu-
ously opposed by insurance companies operated
for private profits, who dislike the idea of the
Federal Government engaging in the perform
ance of service at cost.

given in the Soviet Union were CON
trasted in an address by DR.. William
H. Walsh Of Chicago to the Tri-State
Hospital Assembly of Illinois, Indiana
and Wisconsin. The contrast was
heavily in favor OF socialized medicine
as practiced in Russia.
DR.. Walsh, former executive secre-
tary Of the American Hospital Asso-
citation, spent several months in the
Soviet Union in 1884 in hospital re-
searches he had conducted in many
parts of the world. He is a hospita
consultant Of international fame.
The Soviet Union is the only country
in the world, he said, where the whole
system of medicine is unified anC
where prevention of disease and cure
go h%and-in-hand. He urged that pre-
ventive and curative medicine be Co
ordinated in the United States on the
Soviet model.
Diagnostic facilities are SO expensive
in the United States, he said, that they
are beyond the reach of vast numbers
of the population. In the Soviet
Union on the other hand they are free
State medicine therefore can do more
in catching diseases like nee anc
tuberculosis early when they are still

A Flexible Constitution

The philosophy that the provisions of the Fed
eral Constitution must be adapted to meet the
needs of the people instead of Stacking them
with iron bands of phraseologic technicalities
was urged by Karl N. Llewellyn, Professor of
Law at Columbia University and an authority
on the Constitution, in an address before the
convention of the National League of Women
Voters in Cincinnati, Ohio. On this subject he
said:
whenever large groups of people find con
ditions intolerable or even severe, the Consti-
tuition comes in for heavy attention, and the
country divides into those who would stand by
the old, at all costs, and those who wish new
action from the Government to cure conditions"
whether the Government is accused of ex-
ceeding its constitutional functions, or is urg-
ed to widen its operations in the teeth Of some
prior understanding of the Constitution, is &C
cident."
"The truth is that our Constitution has never
stood still and never will be able to stand still.
1t has been in flux ever since its adoption,
Conceived as an answer to pressing need, the
Constitution has continued to answer pressing
need, and it must do SO in the future or cease
itself to exist"
Federal power has been expanding and must
expand because we needed to fill a void. 1t is
vital to see this. National power is needed
where national power has not been needed be-
fore, because national, not state, problems have
arisen which were never there before. A nat
ional economy, a national business system, a
national depression, national problems of child
labor and unemployment, call to be dealt with
nationally"
AS a remedy for the present practice under
which a majority of the nine members of the
United States Supreme Court declares statutes
unconstitutional, Professor Llewellyn express
ed the view that in adapting the Constitution
to the changing needs of the twentieth century
"the Supreme Court could be largely removed
from the road, and its values be yet preserved,
by such a simple measure as requiring a vote Of
seven in a court of nine before an act of Con
gress could be held invalid"

Slurn Conditions

The startling declaration that in public health
matters when viewed from the standpoint of
slums ancient Rome was further advanced than
were some of Canada's largest cities was made
by Charles G. Power, Minister Of Pensions and
National Health, in Toronto in addressing the
twenty-second annual convention of the On
tario Health Officers Association.
His reference to present-day slum conditions
and his comparison with Rome was brief and
pungent. A least" he told the 200 doctors in
the audience, "the citizens of Rome could have
a daily bath, which is not possible in our mod
ern Sums"

The Canadian government assumes
responsibility for hospitahzing relief
cases but only four states here do SO,
Executive Secretary Maurice Dublin of
the assembly told the doctors and
nurses in pleading for government sub
sides for hospitals. The four states
are Connecticut, Maine, Mississippi
and Pennsylvania. In Pennsylvania
$3,500,000 a year is spent by the state
on hospital care Of indigents, he said.
Unspeakable sanitary conditions ex-
sit in may homes Of relief clients where
water and toilet facilities are lacking,
reported Mrs. Mary Wysor Keefer, a
field worker for the American Asso-
citation Of Medical Social Workers.
Many WPA employees, who ought to
be in bed or on light duty are put to
work though physically unfit, she said,
blaming the inadequate medical ex-
amining facilities.

durable. In fact, DR.. Walsh added
the reduction Of tuberculosis mortality
in the United States has been largely
the work of state medicine in state
sanitariums and in preventive work by
state funds.
The United States also suffers from
a scandalously high mortality among
mothers in childbirth, Walsh said in
painting to the amazing lowering of
such mortality in the Soviet Union
where prenatal care is given free, like
all other medical services, to expec-
tant mothers.
Marjorie Bates, assistant supervisor
of medical relief in Cook county (Chi-
cago), panned the shortsighted and
penurious medical relief policies of the
government. Medical care and con-
valescing for those on relief have been
"pitifully inadequate" she said, and
ever in the boom years adequate med
ical relief was lacking.

Police working in foreign countries at
