tense international situation" de,
clared Charles M. Upham, engineer
director Of the A. r. B. A. and resident
Of this city. but there Is much doubt
as to the wisdom Of making ready q
huge imobilized army without at the
same time preparing transcontinenta
roads adequate for the transportation
Of these forces to all parts Of the coun-
try. Newly-developed army tanks,
equipped with machine guns. small
cannon and radios, can travel at 20
miles an hour on rough terrain. II
driven over modern roads their speed
can be increased to 40 or 60 miles an
hour. This means that the speed of
these highly important parts Of army
equipment may be doubled or tripled
BY the construction Of good roads.
Shortly before he urged an increase in
military appropriations, the President
asked Congress to drastically curtail
Federal expenditures for highways.
Millions for defense, but not one cent
for transportation would be q very
unwise motto for any nation today"
BE guided by the recommendation
OF the manufacturer of the car you
drive on the important question of

This was the advice flashed today
by the American Automobile Asso-
cation to the owners and operators
OF the country's 30,000,o00 motor We

Is 1t correct In the Culbertson sys-
tenn to keep open an original one no

The answer, according to Culbertson,
b that the original bid of one no
trump Is limit bid and is never kept
open IN the sense that a suit bid is.
Furthermore, response of two clubs
Is IN no way weaker than a response
OF two spades, two hearts or two dia-
monds and is bid only when the hand
has q properly biddable club suit and
enough strength to justify responding
to q no-trumph bid.

West made exit from his hand by

two-way finesse to avoid disaster In

the jack were in one hand. If they
were held ~ or 81 they would fall
to the top three honors. II 40 the
Jack might be the setting trick. Ac-
cordingly, instead Of leading to the

Of that suit which disclosed the fact
that east had none and that all four
trumps to the jack were in the West
hand. She then led the two of
