The apology and the query are too often heard. In many hands the declarer hes no reason to make losing gueSSes, because he can, as in today's hand, make his opponents do his guessing for him.
 North cashed the king and queen of hearts, and then continued with the zee. West riiffed and could see that he probably would lose one spade trick and therefore could af- ford Co lose no other tricks.

cordingly.
Every day Is courtesy day at the
Georgetown public school where, by
unusual emphasis on etiquette, pupils

To show how it all works out, Mrs.
Webb invited the visitors into the

served.
Drawings Made by Pupils.
Curtains hung at the windows,
flower pots were placed here and
there on the tables, which were ar
ranged carefully to avoid crowding,
yet to insure an interchange of table
small talk among the young folk
assembled together. On the walls
were colorful drawings. executed by
the pupils themselves to show, in one
instance, a picture of a recent school
tea, and in another, a series of scenes
emphasizing the nutritive value Of
milk.
As the noon hour arrived, the chill
dren entered quietly and took their
places. Plates had been served be-
fore they entered, but the young
sters waited patiently.
When all had been seated, each boy

cited in unison:

And we thank Him for our food +"

Sailors and W. P. A. Workers
Reported Forming in
Many Cities.

Copeland Act Protest Aim of One
Group-Capital and Metro.
politan Forces Prepare.

Reports that striking sailors AMI
members of the Workers Alliance in
Eastern cities would march on Wash
ington to demonstrate this week have
prompted metropolitan and Capitol
police to take precautionary measures.
The force guarding the Capitol was
strengthened, and metropolitan police
sent wires last night to seven ports
asking for information of possible
movements of demonstrators toward
Washington.
Meanwhile, the Associated Press re-
ported that Charles Spencer, secretary
OF the Workers Alliance in Philadel-
phia. announced last night that 300
w. P. A. workers there would march
on Washington for a demonstration
Friday.
The workers, Spencer said, will de-

ton of S1,o40 .0O0.O for expenditul e

has indicated s65O,000,00O would he
sufficient for this period.
Labor leaders we're reported to be
organizing striking sailors in Eastern
ports for marches on the Capital to
demonstrate against the Copeland act
which goes into effect January 20.
Continuous Discharge Books.
The act provides for issuance of
continuous discharge books to sailors,
and union leaders claim this system
will enable prospective employers to
hot l,o,
tecipated in strikes and discriminate
against them.
It was said the sailors would picket
the Commerce Department Building
and present petitions at the Capitol
in an effort to prevent the act from
going into effect.
The inquiries sent out by Metropoli-
tan Police had brought in little or
no information early today. Phila-
delphia police reported striking sailors
we're meeting there at secret" place
last night to discuss the proposed
march.
No replies we're received from tele-
grams to New York, Baltimore, New
Orleans and Boston, while Norfolk
police wired that a few sailors were
planning to come here. Police at
Charleston. S. c., reported they were
unable to learn of such a movement
among sailors there.
Capitol police said they were in
formed a delegation of about 600 was
forming in Philadelphia and Balti-
more for demonstration here Friday.
Capitol Force Adequate"
Capt. William S. Orthman of the
Capitol Police said he was confident
the personnel and equipment of his
force was adequate to enforce the
regulations on Capitol Hill. These
prohibit parades on the Capitol
grounds and prevent demonstrators
from sending delegations of more
than five to lay petitions before men,
bers of Congress.
Inspector Bernard w. Thompson
chief of detectives, said steps had
been taken to insure advance in
formation of the organization of any
marches on Washington, and the
force will be ready to prevent possible
disorders here.

Webb took time from a story-readine
period-which comes usually with des-
sert-to explain how the lunch hour
was just one chapter of the whole
etiquette story being enacted this
year at Hyde.
We have tried to show the pu-
pills how much pleasanter it is tc
live and work together when they
think Of others as well as themselves,
she said. as she climbed the stairs te
lead the visitor into the teachers
lunch room. which was recently
equipped with attractive furnishings
planned and. in some instances, de-
signed by the older children Of the
adjoining Curtis School, of which sh,
also is principal.
AS the visitor passed a group on thu
stairs there was momentary confu.
sion and one child remarked to the
other: why didn't you say. Excuse
me?'"
"Oh, forgot" exclaimed the other
chagrinned at the incident.
That" said Mrs. Webb, "is another
example Of how we are trying to have
our courtesy lesson brought into
everyday practice"
General Assemblies Held.
At the opening of school, she con-
tinued. children were indicted into
the etiquette program through a series
Of general assemblies held in the lob
by to work out rules for playground
conduct.
At the suggestions Of the children
slogans such as BE fair" BE
pleasant, Take turns at the swing,
and Set a good example" were
adopted and discussed more thor
oughly as the assemblies continued.
Pictures illustrating these rules were
designed and will be bound for q
library table which is to be set up or
the second floor hallway which Mrs
Webb is planning to convert soor
into q sort of Giving room" where
the children and visitors may relax.
Courtesy rules are applied carefully
to playground activities and are be.
ginning to bear fruit. For instance
marble games, which youngsters some.
times are inclined to make a free for.
all scramble. are beginning to bt
well-ordered contests with the player,
encouraged, but not impeded, by spec.
tators.
A similar program Is carried out al
the Curtis School where older chill.
dren are enrolled and the pupils oi
both institutions cooperate in nu'
merous activities.
"Our idea Is to effect home like
atmosphere, with all of our children
behaving as they would in a well.
ordered home" Mrs. Webb said.
