Inc North and South bidding on
this hand is very interesting and we'll
worth studying. While they were de-
feated one trick, nevertheless their
final contract was mathematically
correct and would have been made
against either normal distribution or
normal defense.
Norths initial response Of one heart
only was based on the fact that if his
partners opening bid were psychic,
they would probably have no play for
game. Otherwise his partner would
rebid and he would 90 after the slam.
When South rebid his diamond
suit, North made a jump, forcing bid
of three spades. Now, when his
partner signed off at three no trump,
North quite properly jumped to six.
South's bid of seven no trump was
based on the fact that while his
hand was more or less minimum in
high cards, he not only held six
card suit all his own, but also honors
in both suits bid by his partner.
Therefore, he reasoned that either
both major suits would be solid or
that his partner would have the
king to fit his diamond suit, where
upon the fifth and six diamonds
would become additional tricks.
After studying the situation care
fully, Mr.. Chanin decided that dummy
would hold both the ace and king
of hearts, and accordingly opened
the nine-spot OF that suit, being
certain that declarer would not take
inesse on the first trick in playing
a seven-bid Actually, declarer con-
sidered the finesse carefully, but since
he saw that with a diamond break
he would have all the tricks anyway,
he went right up with the ace of hearts
and then laid down the king of dia-
monds. When diamonds failed to
break, he was helpless, since all he
could now make were two hearts, four
spades, three diamonds and three clubs
for total of IL tricks.
OF course, if Mr.. Chanin had
failed to open heart, declarer would
have taken the flnesse in that suit,
once diamonds failed to break AS
1t is, he is still crashing his teeth.

 Predicts Good
 Years Business
Economist Forecasts Boom Tn Auto In dustry
 or Building

BOSTON, Mass, Sept. IA. = Im- provement in general business con- ditions this fall, is predicted by Ro- ger Babson, noted economist, who addressed the Boston Chamber of Commerce.
 Babson said that careful study of business cross currents showed that furthermore flor the next year or two at least favorable factors far outweigh unfavorable factors. Gen. eral business is bound to be better this fall than last With tremen- dous crops, nothing can stop it."
 The economist believed that higher prices would be placed on most commodities next year and de- clared "it is costing too much to move goods. It will be better for all concerned if some money now spent for advertising is used to increase wages and to give dividends"
 A boom in either the automobile industry or building is forecast by Babson, who said he had a hunch that before long people will see home and kids as a better invest ment than car and gasoline

American Dollar in China
 Not So Much; Japan aud
 Great Britain Haue Stakes
By MORGAN M. BEATTY AP Feature Service Writer

WASHINGTON, Sept. 14.-In try ing to understand what's happening in the Far East today. keep this fact in mind.
 Japan in five years probably has become the biggest sigle investor in China. including Manchuria.
 By investor I mean the citi- zens of Japan, and by investments the capital they now have in Chin csc commerce, trade and industry
 Foreign investments in China at present stand about like this:
 Japan ..-....--........-.-.. Sl ,5OO ,OO0,0O0
 Great Britain ..... 1,250, 900
 United States - 250y000,000
 France ...-............... 200,000,000
 Germany, Russia. Belgium and the Scandinavian countries hold most of the rest of total colse to $3,5O0, 100000
 These approximate figures, rep resent a consensus of totals struck by various experts"
 Peculiar Business
 Now, investments often have a good deal to do with fights between nations They have particular and peculiar bearing on the Sino- Japanese "war," because the invest ment of money in China is nothing if not peculiar
 Peculiarly No. is the way China was opened to foreign investors.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 14.-Con- gress has adjourned, but not poli- tics.
 Take Colorado, for instance. Sen- ator Adams, a Democrat, is up next year for reelection. In private life, the Senator is a banker at Pueblo, usually conservative. While he did not speak publicly against the Pres ident's Court bill, he was commonly numbered among the opponents.
 He has fought blanket appro- priation bills, but because he is a major figure on the Appropriations committee he has had to shoulder much of the work of drafting them and putting them through Con- gress.
 Adams political opponents in Col orado roped Senator Edwin c. John son, a former Governor, would break with him and help bring about his defeat. No break occurred. In one of his first statements to the press in Colorado upon his return from Washington, Johnson told the Ster- ling Advocate that T am interested in the renomination and re-elec- tion of the four Democratic Con- gressmen of Colorado"
 Adams has foes in Colorado. He was not always on good terms with Senator Costigan, pronounced lib- eral, whose retirement because of failing health made possible John-
