the K, and a heart returned to
East's @. South won the next
heart lead and now finessed the
spade Q and cashed the spade Ace.
Then the suit had to be abandoned
because West had the next winner
in it. The diamond was covered
by the @ and won with the Ace.
When the 9 fell from Vests hand,
the diamond J was tried, in the
hope that the K was in that hand,
but East captured the trick and
cashed his heart z. A club return
lost to Vests K and the spade ]
cashed, so that the contract was

Where the contract was made,
the declarer, realizing that he
needed several spade tricks to be
successful in making the contract,
led the spade 5 to the second trick
and let it ride. In that way he
cashed five spade tricks instead Of
two, and made the contract.

Babson Declares Slump
Isn't Major Depression
fcontinued from Page one)

Eas.S--, tne current sharp recession IN
business is not sufficient reason, IN
itself. to assume that we are enter
ing a new depression.
Not Like 1929.
Remember that conditions are vast
1v different today than they were IN
1929. The severe readjustments OF the
early thirities are not necessary now
to put business back on sound oasis.
There has been no over-eXpanslon OF
plant capacity. There has been no
nvra miding of inventories or STOCK
debts Credit has not been over-ex-
tended. Business is in strong hands.
There are. of course, some corrections
to be made, but they are not so lar
reaching.
Furthermore, the shake-ups that are
essential are being made with great
rapidity. Commodity prices, for IN
stance. have literally shot downward.
Since August, copper has tumbfed
from II cents a pound to II cents'
and rubber from 81 cents pound to
less than Is cents. Scrap iron mas
cracked from $2192 a ton to SlZ.Sz'
corn from S1.4O a bushel to 30 cents,
and cotton from Is cents to eight
cents a pound. Contrast these perpen-
dicular drops with the long, steaoy
crumpling of prices during the ~ TO
80 period.
Inventories and Labor.
Inventories are also being correct

retailers fearing strikes and higher

by building up stocks of goods and
ordering too far ahead. When the

one or two years. Fundamentally, we
are still in an upward swing. We have
scarcely scratched the surface OF the
tremendous pent-up demands of the
depression years. If Washington CO.
operates, there is every reason to be-
lieve that business will resume the
upward trend next year. I am just as
confident today that there are new
highs ahead for commodities, real es-
tate, and stock prices as l was that a
crash was ahead in 1929.

CHAPTER 20

TT WAS EARLY in September,
and the languorous warmth of the
summer season fingered; the wom-
en- on the streets of st. Louis still
wore their thin dresses, and the
leaves which had fallen were a
pale yellow, so that they lay
drifted across the sidewalks like
faint sunshine.
Lionel had made many engage
ments for me. We were to dine
that night with Olga. 'She asked
all the crowd that we met at the
camp. You are very popular with
the Ogre, Jerry. She told Mimi
that you were the only one who
treated her as a human being and
not as a stuffed doll to stick pins
in! Not bad, was it? I didn't
think she had it in her." He
laughed lightly. Neither then or
ever after would he give Olga her
due as rather fine and intelligent
creature. She had stolen his
money. He could see no virtue in
"a thief.
1--WE go to Bernice's this after
noon for tea. Mimi will be there,
and Stiles and Katherine and a lot
of the others. They are all crazy
about you, Jerry. Bernice says it
lis because you are as remote as
one of the old knights in medieval
legends. She insists that you
fought to wear silver arnor."
"What nonsensew Yet liked it.!
!, Lionel surveyed me with a medi-
,tative eye. I'm not sure that it's
nonsense. You are sort Of rein

spirit of another age. It isn't out

it's the result of the way you were

"I don't see that I am so differ

"Well, you are. Sanderson says
it is genius. He told me fatty
that didn't have half your gift of
writing-that I am a farthing dip
to your torch. But I am not will
ing to admit it."
Was it any wonder that all this
went to my head? That I was
drunk with it? Swayed from my
normal balance?
Our spirits were at top-notch.
The whole world seemed to glow
and sparkle as we Whirled up at
last to the hotel.
AS soon as was alone in my

for they touched only the nearest

But I was sailing it-with a
fair wind and spread canvas-to-

see her was almost Jnbearable.
After our luncheon Lionel and ]
motored through the park. AS
cending by a long circling approach
a hill crowned with a stately
building, we came at last upon a
statue which overlooked the city.
And such a statue! Other CEN
tiers Of population may proclaim
in marble the achievements Of their
patriots and statesmen and the
glories Of the past! It remains
for st. Louis to set on her highest
hill the figure of a saint!

Reports that four of the seasons

the debs themselves, as well as leaders
of the social set, such comment as
"Silliest thing I ever heard Of" "Out-

Rumors continued to fly thick and
fast, however.
Real tears are being shed over this
situation" said Mrs. William Laird
Dunlop, jr., who has brought out most
OF Washington's buds for II years.
The rumors began when it was re-
ported that four debutantes. whose
fathers are not associated with the
New Deal, are ignoring the invitations
of the other 26, whose fathers are
administration officials.
"It's deplorable," Mrs. Dunlop said.
