On the other hand, I think that this
is up to the man, since answering him
would place the girl in an awkward
position, as her actual preference may
be too expensive for his purse. Is
there o ageneral rule which Is better
to follow, and, If so, what Is It?
Answer-I think, in part, you are
both right. 1t Is just a question of
letting the girl know what type of
entertainment he can afford to take
her to. II he says, Where do you
want to go?" she can't say, "I would
like to see the new play on Broadway u
nor can she say, Let's dine at the

taking her to new places and dining
in expensive restaurants. But II he
were to say. Would you rather dine
elsewhere than at the Ritz?" o.
Would you like to 60 TO the new sup

A Mustard Pioneer.

Mustard has been put to many uses
that have nothing to do with ham
sandwiches or corned beef. 1t Is one
of the oldest known spices, and
among its earliest uses was its apph-
cation to scorpion bites, which it was
believed to make tnnocuous. A later
geenration made a cough sirup of
mustard by boiling it with dried figs
in strong ale. The custom of grind
ing the mustard seeds and sitting
them to a fine powder, the form in
which we use it so frequently today,
dates back to 1920, when an English
woman known to history simply as
Mrs. Clements of Durham" made
the experiment and found 1t tasty.

Winning Contract
BY THE FOUR ACES.
How Would You Play.

Inventors of the system that has beaten
every other system in existence.
Evening star., 1936-07-17

Vests opening lead was the four OF
hearts. Mr.. Schenken knew that West
could not have held the king-queen-
ten originally or else he would have
made the conventional opening of the
king. Mr.. Schenken reasoned that if
West held four to the king the
jack would be the winning play; If
five to the king-queen. it would not
matter greatly, since the ten would
fall on the next heart lead. With any
other combination OF cards, the ace
was the better play, since it might
succeed in blocking the suit in the
event that East held either king small
or queen-small. 1t is generally con-
ceded that Mr.. Schenken's play Of the
ace was proper His next play, how
ever, caused the great disagreement.
Here Mr.. Schenken reasoned as fol-
lows: If he established his diamond
suit by playing the ace and queen, he
would lose the hand provided either
Ca that the heart suit was divided
4-3. since the opponents would make
three hearts, a spade and a diamond,
or (b) that East held a doubleton
heart honor and West held the ace of
spades as his re-entry.
However, If he led spade and
finesSed the ten, he could not be de-
feated, if the queen or spades was at
his right. And he could also make his
contract if the queen of spades was
at his left, but not the ace, provided
that the king of diamonds was In
front Of the ace-queen and the heart
,uit was blocked
To sum up, the advantage Of lead
ing a spade and finessing the ten
rather than Immediately establishing
the diamonds was that his contract
was assured if the queen of spades was
under the king jack-ten, and that the
hand could not be made under any cir
cumstances if both spade honors were
at his left.
Mr.. Schenken chose this line of play
and has managed to convince most Of
his friends of the advantage OF his
selection.

PAROLED YOUTHS
 ARE BACK AGAIN

Boston, Feb. 24-(UP)-Paroled from Concord reformatory last Christmas, two Brighton youths im- mediately began a fresh career of crime which netted them $10.000, they allegedly confessed to police to- day.
 The pair, William Belyea and John Lawler, each 19, selected stores and victims in their own neighbor- hood with the exception of one ex- cursion to Waltham, police said. There they were baked by Thomas M. R. Allen, Main street drugstore owner, who battled the youths and fired two shots at them as they fled, according to police.
 Assigned to investigate a series of Brighton robberies, Special Officers Elmer J. Hamlet and Richard F. Finn became suspicious of the prox- unity of the hold-ups and breaks to the youths homes. According to po- lice, Belyea and Lawler turned over much of the loot to the arresting officers. Allen identified both men in a police lineup today. Before they are taken to Waltham, however, they vii lappear in Brighton district court Wednesday.

sion of Baltimore, holding this post until 1913.
 His handling of the peoples case against the attempt of the Balti- more Gas and Electric Company to get higher rates brought him into prominence and in 1915 he was nominated in the direct primary on the democratic ticket for attorney general of Maryland. He was elected by a majority of 25,000.
 He held this ofilce until 1920. During his incumbency, Ritchie or- ganized the first State Law De- partment of Maryland. At the war session of 1917, he prepared or supervised all special legislation made necessary by the conflict. This work served as Q model in many states. President Wilson ap- pointed him general counsel to the War Industries Board on June 3, 1918, and the following year he was elected governor. He began his due ties in 1920 and held office contin- uously for four terms.
 His first term as chief executive was marked with several construc- tive achievements. During his ad- ministration the state reorganiZa- ton and fewer elections bills were passed; he fostered and developed the public school system of the state; he encouraged road building and maintenance to the point where Maryland has one of the best sys- tenn of highways in the country; he established the merit system for state employees; secured passage of model legislation on the subject of cooperative marketing and the adoption of other social legislation.
 Set Maryland Record
 When Ritchie was reelected in November, 1923, by Q plurality of more than 10000, 1t was the first time since 1928, Q democratic gov- crrior had ever been renominated and Q governor of either party re- elected in Marylpnd. His popularity increased with each succeeding term and each time he was returned to office with larger majorities than before.
 Ritchie became national fig- ure and was considered a presiden- tial possibility as result of his strong advocacy of states rights. On the subject of prohibition he ex- pressed himself fearlessly. Prohi- bition, he thought, should be re- ferred back to the states to settle, within constitutional limitations, each as 1t thought best and decid- ed.
 Ritchie was unmarried and had few diversions. His slogan was hard work and plenty of 1t. He kept fit by swimming, boating and living an outdoor life.

"That's the man that held the gun on me-" said Louis Epstein, revue manager and one of the four per- sons held up. There's no question about 1t. He told me he would blow my head off. He said "'Hello, beau- tiful to Mss Curtin (Miss Norine Curtin, secretary to Benjamin Do. mingo, manager of the theater)." !" The robbery was performed smooth ly and swiftly. The bandits, each armed with an automatic pistol, had purchased tickets for the perform ance and had mingled with the audience before leaving their seats to carry out the holdup. They gain ed entrance to the treasurer's office on the mez2anine floor by mysteri- ous signal and password known to only few of the theater's employees The signal consisted of rubbing the shutter on the outside of the door with the hands and then answering in response to "who is thereE" with the word, usher"

 Included in the Texan loss was Travis, Col. James Bowie, and David Crockett. two famed fighters who had joined the revolutionists.
 One account of the battle de- clared that Travis offered to sur- render the fort the night before 1t fell, on condition that all lives be spared. A Mexican ofiicer discredit- ed the report of high losses by say- inging three-fourths of santa An- mas casualties were caused by their own guns.
 Nevertheless. six weeks later "Re- member the Alarnol" was the Tex ans cry at San Jacinto. where Gen. Sam Houston's ragged army sllr- prised and captured Gen. Santa Anna.
