was easily reached.
 North won the first trick with dummy's ace, then ruffed spade in his own hand. He saw that he had two club losers, and only the elimination of diamonds and spades from both hands, and a fortunate distribution of the clubs would full fill the contract. His next play was the ace of clubs, and on this Sobel, who sat West, dropped the king. Appleyard's fine play was thus de- feated. He was forced in the end to give up two club tricks to Mrs. Sobel, and his plan to put Sobel in the lead with the club king after diamonds and spades had been eliminated was frustrated by &C., curate defense.

It isn't easy to voluntarily sacri- flee trick at contract, and particu- larly when the opponents have reached a slam contract. However, 8 second thought convinced A. M. Sobel well known to contract bridge players as one of the tournament directors of the American Contract Bridge League, that his only chance to beat the contract lay in giving up a perfectly good king, trusting that his wife and "favorite partner" held the queen of the suit. It was the last hand of the evening at Mayfair Bridge Club duplicate in New York. On that round they met

Love Call
Pea cocks "SOng"
ArOuSeS Zoo

The love call of the peacock
an awe-inspiring d-was
heard in the Zoo late yesterday
for the first time since Snowy,
the polar bear, widowed three
peahenS.
First to respond to the love call
which sounds like fog horn try
ing to drown out the noise of
shovel grating on a stone, was
sedate Polly Peahen who was sit
ting demurely on a nest of eggs.
Away from Polly mind df she has
one) flew all thoughts of the late
lamented Percival Peacock and
away went Polly with Percival's
newly acquired successor.
Next to respond to the love call
were residents of Cathedral
Avenue near the Zoo. They said
two peacocks were running wild
and demanded that something be
done about it. The Zoo sent out
it's best peacock chaserS to round
up the clippers. Polly returned to
her nest.

Dorothy Parker, 18.year-old
Roosevelt High School student,
whose beauty has already captured
one prize, has entered the race to
d erm n e Washington's most
beautiful high school girl.
The pretty brunette has entered
the Golden Mirror contests Spon-
sored by The Washington Times
and the Washington Herald. Two
weeks ago she was named Miss
Columbia Heights in a beauty con-
test sponsored by the Columbia
Heights Business Association con-
test, and thereby became a candi-
date for the title of Miss Washing
ton.
LIST INCREASES
Meanwhile, as the last week of
the contest, which closes at mid
night Sunday runs it's course, the
number of entrants is climbing
towards the 900 mark, with more
coming in every day.
The number of schools repre-
sented is also increasing. Students
in public, private, and parochial
high schools from Washington or
18 miles around are eligible. BY
now candidates from nearly so
schools have entered.
Every day new groups take adj
vantage of the facilities provided
by Times-Herald photographers to
take pictures of those entrants
who have no recent pictures of
themselves. On one day last week,
125 girls appeared. All were photo
graphed and their pictures entered
in the contest.
CALLED AS MODEL
Whatever the outcome of the
contest, 17.year.old Phyllis Hun
mel of Montgomery Blair High
School in Takoma Park will have
profited by her entrance. AS q
result of the publication of her
picture among the contestants,
she has received several calls to
pose from commercial artists.
The 10 prettiest girls will be
selected from their pictures by the
seven judges. They will then be
guests of Mrs. Eleanor Patterson
at her home, Dover House, Mary
land, where the winners Of the
three prizes will be selected.

General Situation Worldwide

UNFORTUNATELY, this general situation IS
~ worldwide, and we find in Europe little hope
of help toward early recovery here English bust
ness is probably in a cyclical recession, with a
badly unbalanced foreign trade. French radicals
are still influential enough to prevent any return
of sound finances or business confidence in their
country.
The statistical evidence is none too encour-
aging. The basic steel industry, for example.
shows no sign of recovery, and the summer dull
period is likely to depreSs it further. The in
creased activity in st. Louis seems more than off
set by reaction in Pittsburgh.
The automobile industry may virtually close
down for a month or two. This is not because
the manufacturers want to lose money, but be-
cause the people are not buying any cars.

emergency" Apparently they think enough
voters will not hold them responsible for their
failure in preventing depression to allow them to
get away with their pump printing act once again.
At the least, we probably will have to wait until
November before there will be enough certainty
to enable business to go ahead.
Meanwhile, it would seem there will be a suf-
ficient scattering of our currency Government
credit among farmers and urban relief recipients
to prevent collapse of buying and selling. Ger
tainly the spigot of Government spending will be
turned wide open before November.

COLLINS FIGHTS
INDIRECT RELIEF

Withdrawal of more than 5000,
500 from the Districts direct re,
lief appropriation for other pur'
poses was protested by Represen,
tative Ross Collins Cd of Missis-
sippi, erstwhile proponent of dras-
tic cuts in relief expenditures, dur.
ing hearings on the final def,
cheney bill made public today.
The hearing was on the proposal
of the Budget Bureau to use funds
from the relief appropriation to
pay for transportation of non,
resident indigents to their homes
and for sponsoring unemployed
women's projects.
1--WE had quite fight on the
floor about the adequacy of
100000 for relief" Collins said,
and the members Of the COM
mittee made statements, and I
made some of them, saying that
that amount would be used for
relief.
IF $2O9,5O0 of that is to be
taken away from this item, then
the statements made when the
original 100000 item was be.
fore the Congress will be untrue
instead of true. I do not think
this additional burden of $780,
500 should be put on that fund"

KIN GIVEN
AID ON BENEFITS

The Home Service Committee
of the District Red Cross Chapter
will assist veterans, their widows
and orphans, to obtain benefits
afforded by recent legislation.
Brig. Gen. F. r. Keefer, chairman
Of the local chapter, said today.
A law signed May 10 by Presi-
dent Roosevelt makes compensa-
ton for death, not due to service,
available to widows and children
of World War veterans whose
service-connected disability was
only 10 per cent. Death benefits
formerly were paid only in cases
where the veteran was 80 per cent
disabled, or, if there were children
in the family, 20 per cent.
Another bill, which became Q
law May "a, provides a monthly
pension of $50 to soldiers, sailors
and nurses now having reached
the age of IS, who served at least
80 days in the Spanish-American
War, Philippine Instruction or
China relief expedition.
The bill also applies to those
who served less than 80 days and
were discharged for disability in
Cured in service. Pensions for
veterans requiring regular medi.
cal attendance will be increased
from $72 to $500 monthly.
General Keefer emphasized that
all persons eligible for these in
creases must apply for them. The
new rates will be effective from
the date on which application is
