who offered him s35 week to write
music on his own time
The musical compositions which
followed GerShwinS original job as
composer ranged widely from the
lightly popular kit tunes to the
famous Rhapsody which the COM
poser considered one of his three out
standing works.
Following the growing popularity
Of Gershwin's songs. and his own pop
ularity as concert musician and
director, GershWin was drafted by
both the radio and the motion picture
industry. He purchased a Beverly
Hills home in which many of his
revisions for the screen were done.
Garshwin never appeared personally
in pictures. but wrote the music for
many popular screen hits.
Associates estimated the number Of
his compositions. many of which have
not been published. at more than
1000 Gershwin, himself, said he
usually did about three musical
comedies a year, each one containing
many numbers.

- NCE Contract Bridge Is still less
than 10 years old, it Is pretty
hard to make accurate predic-
- tions of what is going to happen
for q full year, but here goes anyway.
First, we predict that the year 1887
will show further Standardization and
simplification of bidding methods and,
in particular, a reduction in the num-
ber Of artificial bidding conven-
tions in use. The average player may
like to experiment with his game from
time to time, but apparently he cam
not help but come around to the view
point that the more complicated the
bidding, the less valuable the results.
We ourselves intend to stick by our
own bidding methods, having seen no
need for any changes other than in
occasional unimportant phases.
We predict that many of the major
tournaments will again be won by
newcomers, just as they were in 1886.
At the same time. We predict that We
will be able to win as many tourna-
mentS as any one else, and will con-
tinue to give a good account of our
selves in those We happen to lose.
incidentally. this is quite a come
Down for us. There was time not so
far back when we felt that it was
practically disgraceful for us to lose
any tournament whatsoever.
THAT was in the days when many
of our opponents were employing
bidding systems which differed radi-
cally from ours. Today practically
every opponent we run up against is
employing the Four Aces principles.
AS a result, in the early rounds Of
Knockout tournaments where the
matches are 80 or 40 boards only,
practically every hand is bid to the
same contract at both tables, and the
whole match Is decided either by play
Of the dummy or by the result on
few swing hands.
We predict that many challenges
will be hurled back and forth between
various bridge experts, but that moth
ing will come of them. As a matter
cf fact, we intend to start the chal-
!2nging by hurting one ourselves, as
follows: We. the Four Aces. hereby
challenge either (a) Ely Culbertson
and any team he may select playing
the Culbertson system: (b) P. Hal
Sims and any team he may select
playing the Sims system, or (c) pro-
ronents Of any other system what
soever, to a duplicate team-of -four
match Of $50 boards. In such a
match we, the -Four Aces, are pre-
pared to offer handicap of 5000
points. The only condition we make
is that the losing side must bear all
the expenses, while any other condi-
tions will be by individual arrange
r1ent.
At the same time We are also pre-
rared to play similar match against
sny team playing the Four Aces sys-
tenn, but in this event We will not
offer handicap.
Finally, We predict that contract

Clubs A 6 5 4

Before you read the actual and the
correct play, which we give below, we
suggest that you plan how you would
handle the situation yourself.
In the actual play declarer won the
opening lead with the ace of spades
and promptly cashed the ace. king
and queen of diamonds, discarding
two spades and a club from his own
hand. He now played heart over
to his ace and the jack and ten
dropped. He next led low trump.
West won with the king and played a
club. A low club was played from
dummy, East played the nine, and
South now had to lose club trick,
thereby going down one.
The correct play would be to start
out just as declarer did and cash the
three diamonds and the ace of hearts.
However, at this point declarer should
have also taken the ace and king OF
clubs. Now when he played the low
heart, West would have won with the
king; but it happened that West held
but two clubs originally. Hence, he
would have been forced to lead either
a diamond or spade, whereupon de-
clarer could have discarded the re-
manning losing card from his own hand
and make the contract.
While this type of elimination play
is not particularly difficult. it is re-
markable how often players miss it.
incidentally, suppose declarer's origi-
nal club holding had been headed by
ace-nine instead of ace-six-then his
play of returning the heart before
playing either the ace or king of clubs
would have been correct since, ire
spective of which opponent got in with
the king, the expected club return
would in all probability enable the de-
clarer to avoid losing a trick in that
suit.

BY GEORGE L. KNAPP

Washington, D. G. (ILNS)- -Presi-
dent Roosevelt has sent in his prom
ised message recommending changes
in and amendments to present laws
that will encourage private capital
to embark on housing projects on a
large scale. Senator Wagner at once
introduced bill to carry out the
presidents suggestions.
The message begins by declaring
that housing offers the most promis-
ing and the largest field for private
capital to aid recovery. 1t recites
that an average of 10000 dwelling
units per year has been built for the
past seven years; while the national
need is from 100000 to 100000 such
units.
Housing Costs Rose Too Sharply
'In other words" says the presi-
dent, I'VE could build over the next
five years or a million housing units.
which at moderate estimate Of
$4,000 per unit would mean spending
from II to 16 billion dollars, without
creating a surplus of housing accom-
modations, and consequently, without
impairing the value of existing hous-
ing that is fit for decent human occu-
pancy."
"We must recognize clearly that
housing will not be built if costs are
too high in relation to the consumer
| income The fact that housing costs
rose sharply far to sharply-be-
tween September of 1886 and March
J of 1897 was primarily responsible fol
the downturn in housing and thus ir
recovery generally this year. Hous-
ing must be produced at prices, rate
and rents which the mass of oul
people can afford to pay.
Cooperation of All is Vital
"The measures which | now sug-
gest are to encourage private build
ing to meet the needs of families OF
moderate means. These proposals
cannot be effective, however, unless
all elements concerned in the con
struction industry builders, contrac
tors, manufacturers Of materials anc
equipment, labor, and finance-co
operate in producing housing that is
within reach of the incomes of the
vast majority of our citizens"
Unlike most persons writing on the
subject, President Roosevelt recog.
nizes the supreme Importance il
housing of the cost of financing. He
says:
"The cost of financing is in the long
run one of the largest items in hous.
ing costs. In the case of rental hous
ing, it is a determining factor, first
! in whether construction shall be un
/ dertaken at all, and second, in arriv.
ing at the scale Of rentals to be
charged.
Cut Is Urged in Finance Costs
