Already from distant villages in

NEW YORK. October 10.-The
most marked effect of re-establishing
the Ira at its 1927 level of 10 to the
dollar will show in greatly increased
travel to Italy, in the opinion Of
Aroldo Palanca, general manager of
the Italian line for the United States
and Canada. Since 1927 the traveller
in Italy has not felt the benefit of
currency exchanges to the extent now
existing, as the dollar now purchases
nearly so per cent more in the Italian
market. The previous rate was about
1914 lira to the dollar
With the cost Of vacationing in
Italy cut virtually in half, it Is
expected by travel authorities that
the Fall and Winter seasons will
almost Immediately show notable
increases in the number Of persons
wintering in Italy.
Palanca points out that rigid man
dates have been set up over the prices
of hotel accommodations, gasoline
and public conveyance rates. Where
previously hotel accommodations may
have cost so lire, purchaseable at -,
now the same accommodations would
cost only $3.50, with approximately
the same reductions prevailing in all
travel facilities.

BOUT three decades ago, whel
A. l.1>.. .e ..,.ia eao hana n 4,

A BOUT three decades ago, when
~ the horseless carriage began to
~ be practical, there was in New
4 a England one especial form OF
to-do over the grotesque and sputter-
ing, though often stubbornly quiescent,
demon of the road. The f1ght-there
were several notable battles-involved
the right Of horse and buggy minded
farmers to close to the mechanical
monstrosity the narrow and winding
strips of raw earth then called roads.
The courts sided with the automobile
and outlawed efforts to block any ave-
nue. the motorist was brave enough to
venture upon. How deeply rooted was
this aversion to motor vehicles Is
shown by the fact that Massachusetts,
island of Nantucket contrived to exer-
else local option and for year upon
year banned automobiles. Then, un-
like Bermuda, 1t succumbed to this de-
velopment of the mechanical age.
The years have wrought vast
changes. New England boasts Of its
network. of paved roads, many of
them designed especially for high
speed automobile travel. And cars,
no longer forced to climb out OF deep
mudholes and straddle corrugations
of high ridges and low ruts, are being
built closer to the ground. These
days, the motorist generally shuns
anything but the easiest and speediest
route. And the old mud roads-there
are still many of them left OF the
beaten track-are again left to the
wagon and the horse and, whether he
likes it or not, to the backwoods
farmer. Hugging the ground, cars ven-
ture upon them at the peril Of getting
stuck
This f1ash-back to pioneer auto days
is not concerned with paved highway
travel today, but with the undeveloped
roads and the fact that the horse,
through twist of circumstances, has
them again.
SEVERAL interesting experiments
In vacation diversions have beer
inaugurated in New England Of late
years. Although that section has de-
veloped exceptional facilities for mo.
toring, at least three of these reerea-
tional novelties frown on the automo-
bile; their success is based not on the
popularity of motoring but the de-
sire to get away from such traffic.
One Of these innovations, growing
rapidly in Europe and especially in
Germany, is the chain Of hiker hostels
that is spreading through New Eng
land. Another was the introduction
last Fall of the bike-and-hike train
an adaptation of the snow trains
which carries excursionists to some
remote but lovely spot in the country
where, free from the whiz of modern
traffic. they may cycle or walk In
peace. Another, the latest idea, is to
turn backwoods roads over to the

w YE RECENTLY received Gas
A/ individuals, not as a team
wv one of those questionnaires
which people have habit
of sending to bridge players. The
first question is: What is your IA
vorite card?" and being sensible peo-
pie. We naturally have but one reply,
which Is, 1.-THE ace" They next
asked us about our favorite suit. Again
we are sensible and reply Spades
after all, it outranks the others.
At first glance the third question
seems equally silly, since it asks what
Is our favorite contract, and we might
we'll reply. Seven no-trump." How
ever, if we assume that the question
means what contract do we play best,
We have q chance for a very long
answer.
While we f1atter ourselves that all
four of us play the dummy pretty
we'll, there are certain types of hands
which each of us considers his spe-
cialty. Howard Schenken, for in
stance, likes to operate on a three
no-trump contract. which cannot be
made without a little help from the
opponents, and he seems to persuade
them to give him that help with great
frequency.
Oswald Jacoby, on the other hand,
feels the same way about four of q
major suit. Jimmy Maier likes to op-
crate on a difficult slam contract,
~ -
proper series of plays out of perhaps
10 or Is possibilities, while David
Burnstine's speciality will undoubtedly
seem very unusual to most of our
readers, since it consists of worry
ing out two spades or two hearts
with hand on which the opponents
should either make partial score
themselves or set him one or two
tricks.
INCIDENTALLY, this specially Is
particularly valuable in games in
which all the participants are master
players. In ordinary games a great
many hands are passed out but when
experts meet they are trying for every
point. AS a result, one frequently
will see third and fourth hand OPEN
ings made with hands in which the
bidder has no intention of getting to
game, but merely hopes that he and
his partner will be able to make a
valuable partial score.
When they proceed from rubber
bridge to duplicate, these hands be-
come even more important Here a
plus score of l10 (60 for making two
odd plus 50-point part-score bonus)
is likely to give just as many match
points as making slam on q triple
squeeze on the next hand.
Just what constitutes a sign-off
bid is rather complicated problem.
In one of the early chapters of our
book we state that the only real sign
off is the pass. However, suppose
you cannot pass. since your partner
has given you an absolutely forcing
bid. Now your problem is to make
that next bid one which is most
likely to stop him. Usually a simple
rebid Of your own suit is the best of
this type. But In q recent rubber
bridge game Mr.. Schenken realized
that the only way he could possibly
stop his partner would be to bid the
fourth suit.

Immediately after the Supreme
Court declared the Railway Pen
sion Act unconstitutional, Con-
gress Monaghan rose on the floor
OF the House and challenged the
power Of the Supreme Court to
thus negative acts of the people
enacted through their duly elect
ed representatives. In this con-

Congressman Monaghan has
been an advocate of the outright
cash payment of the soldiers

Mr.. Monaghan is entirely a
Montana product. He was born
in Butte in 1906. At Carol Col
lege, where for two years he was
captain of an undefeated debate
team, he obtained an A. B. De-
gree, won the State Oratorical
contest and placed second in the
Pacific Coast finals of the Nation
al competition. He studied law
at the University of Montana,
was admitted to the Bar on June
z, 1881 and practiced law in
Butte. The electorate of Butte
sent him as representative to the
twenty-first session of the state
legislature, where he made such a
record that the voters of the first
Montana district elected him to
he seventy-third Congress. He was
re-nominated by $4,000 majority
and reelected to the 74th con-
gress by $1,000 majority, these
being the largest pluralities ever
received by a candidate in the
First District of Montana. Con-
gresham Monaghan was married
to Catherine McDermott, a Butte
girl, on December 80, 1888. They
have a son, Joseph, Jr.

PRESIDENT FINALLY KILLS
BLUE EAGLE OF MIRA

Washington, Dec. % -Presi-
dent Roosevelt today signed an
order terminating the MIRA, once
keystone of the new deal.
Functions of the MIRA were
transferred to the commerce and
labor departments.
The transfer will be effective
only until the MIRA law expires in
April. No hint has come from the
administration as to what, if any
thing, is to be done after that.
The great bulk of MIRA employ
ees are engaged now in Analysing
and indexing histories of the hun
dreds of codes and the industries
they regulate. These workers
probably will go to the commerce
department.
