MARRIAGES SHOW
 GREAT INCREASE

Statistics for January published in the current monthly bulletin of the State Department of Health show marked increase in Connec- ticut marriages over the cores bonding month of 1896. There were POS marriages in January, 1886, and 369 in January 1887. In the first month of 1886 when the law went into effect requiring a blood test to be made on each applicant for marriage license, there was a def- mite drop in the marriages per- formed, but the figures show an up- ward trend again. "As the ben- efits of this law are appreciated after year of successful opera tion," the bulletin said, "the num- Der of marriages performed will ra- pidly return to normal"

New Wilmington, Pa, (UP) Girls in white evening gowns are more likely to be proposed to than her sisters in red, or blue, or other colors. And the reasons, according to experiments conducted in psy- chology classes at Westminster College, are these: White is asso- ciated with moonlight; moonlight with romance, and, finally, TO- nance with marriage.

MAJOR suits contained trick posi-
bilities in addition to the two aces
and the king of hearts. which would
be necessary to fulfill the contract in
the event that the clubs did not
break
With this in mind, the first trick
was won with dummy's diamond
queen and low spade led from
dummy. If East had split his equals
(played the king or queen of spades)
an extra spade trick would have been
made possible then and there. East
actually played low, and declarer
tinessed the 10, West winning with the
jack.
West led the ace and a low dia-
mond, which was won by dummy's
king. Another low spade was led
from dummy, declarer winning with
the ace and West discarding a dia-
mond

one spade, leaving seven cards in
clubs and hearts. Vests diamond
discard made 1t appear almost certain
that he held three hearts to the
queen and four clubs to the jack.
Proceeding on this assumption, de-
clarer had only to lead four rounds
of clubs, throwing West into the lead.
West cashed his remaining diamond
(on which declarer discarded her
low spade) and led to low heart. De-
clarer went up with dummy's jack
and won the last two tricks with the
ace and king of hearts.

Better Way.
IN A LARGE majority of hands
there is a better way for declarer
to play the hand than the one that
L might appear to be the perfectly
obvious one. Furthermore, part of
the equipment of all good dummy

ing the opponents with a chance to
make mistake, of which they are

judiciary committee No. 1 favorably
reported the measure five to two this
morning after hearing dry leaders at
tack it yesterday.
House members voted down every
material amendment to the revenue
bill except one, to provide there should
be no highway fund diversion except
when necessary, instead of increas-
ing the funds from 81, 100000 to 81, 1OO,-

The tax measure would produce
more than $750O0,OOO in 1937-39 for
general fund purposes. Highway funds
which push the biennial budget well
above $140,00O,OOO are covered in other
bills.

manufactured in the State.

Is Now Under Way

knows how trustful of the doctors adj
vice he was.
HIGH HAD ACCESS
The executive mansion certainly
gives the impression now, clearly
enough, that it repudiates the utter
ances of folk like High.
Still, there is no question that the
doctor had ready access to the Presi-
dents offices while the campaign
was raging and for some time after
ward. It was freely mentioned and
not disputed that he was presiden-
TALLY listened to, whether trustfully
or otherwise.
And anyway, it can't but be agreed
that what he says is true:
Many. if not all old-line Democrats,
assuredly are out of sympathy with
the New Deal. Some of them try to
the New Deal. Some of them try not
to admit it, but all hands are aware
chat it is so.
NEW DEALERS ELSEWHERE
Contrariwise, there are good New
Dealers who are not Democrats-not-
ably Senators Norris of Nebraska and
La Toilette of Wisconsin, Parentheti-
cally, perhaps these two no longer
classify as Republicans, but they al
ways professed to be until lately;
their final severance of nominal G.
o. P. relationship was due to the pre-
dominance of their New Dealerish-
ness.
There are genuine New Dealers a.
mong Democrats, too. Senator Wheel
er of Montana is conspicuous MEM
Der of the group.
In short, party realignment is in
progress.
DR.. High expresses it in plain terms
but the administration evidently con-
siders it too soon to recognize.
High has not discovered anything.
He only has proclaimed it.
Others have proclaimed it also.
