Evening star., 1938-02-07

West, who was q very conservative
and conventional player, decided to
lead the jack Of clubs. even though
South had opened the bidding with
one club. South won the club trick
and Immediately tried the spade
finesse, figuring that he would have
to set up the spade suit anyway to
make the hand. East won with the
king and now made an exceptional
play. He led the queen of hearts. BY
doing this 1t appeared that he was
giving up certain winning heart
trick, since he held the ace-queen- ten
over the king jack in dummy. How
ever. East figured that on South's
opening bid of one club he probably
held the ace-king-queen Of clubs and
the king-queen of diamonds. II de-
clarer also held the jack Of diamonds,
AZ appeared likely. he could auto
matically knock out Vests ace Of
diamonds before Easts hearts could
be set up. BY this play East auto
matically held the declarer to eight
tricks and saved what appeared to be
q sure game for the opponents.
When West did obtain the lead with
the ace Of diamonds, he returned
Easts heart lead and thereby set the
contract one trick At the end of the
hand West was amazed and asked his
partner how he had figured out the
play. East replied that on the OPEN
ing lead Of the jack Of clubs he i'm
mediately placed the ace-king-queen
In the South hand. He knew that
South must hold at least two honors
in diamonds in order to justify his
opening bid. He concluded that If
West had held any sort of diamond
suit he would have preferred to lead
it rather than lead into the club
bidder East's fine analysis and his
daring play resulted in q fine score for
his side.

IT WAS EASY ONCE

There are many reasons for the great American wheat crisis. But by and large, foreign competition for the world wheat market has been the No. 1 trouble maker.
 Between 1860 and 1880, American wheat growers had the inside track on @ downhill pull. They had the worlds richest, easiest-t cultivate, and most extensive. wheat lands. They developed the lands with ma chinery. In 1898 they were supply ing 5l per cent of the worlds ex- ported wheat.
 Our growing population required more and more wheat to make bread for the homefolks. But even so. America still had one-fifth of the worlds export wheat market in 1929.
 But all along, Canada, Australia, Argentina, and Europe's Danubian basin were closing in. For instance, Canada contributed mere 20,000,- GOO bushels to the world in 1900 In 1886, she exported 12 times that much

THEY'RE DOING IT NOW

Together with last years surplus, the American public can eat up half the expected billion bushels.
 Whats to be done with the other half?
 Sell it to other nations? Fine chancel Americas big competitors will have plenty of wheat, and will be struggling like mad to get it on the world market. Dump it on the world at cut-throat prices? The other fellow can dump wheat, too and come out on top, because his money is not as good as ours.
 The government is trying to ar range to peddle some of the Amer ican surplus in an orderly way to other governments at reduced prices. The taxpayers would take up the slack.
 The crop comes along before the New Deal has had a chance to show what it's new formulas for the wheat farmer can or cannot do. Bumper crops are handicap for crop control, crop insurance, the ceremonial granary, wheat quo-

Rudyard kipling's Famous Story Is on Screen
 at Coliseum

Kpling's colorful characters live glamorously adventurously and ccurageously on adventures last frontier in the Twentieth Century, Fox picturization of his famed Wee Willie Winkie, now at the Coliseum Theatre with Shirley Temple and Victor McLaglen in the starring roles.
 From the heart of mighty India, where all the world is wild and strange. where the British raj ends at Khyber Pass, in the land of the Bengal Lancers, comes this glorious adventure of the Scottish High flanders in action and of the little girl who won the right to wear their plaid
 The most spectacular production in which Shirley Temple has yet appeared, Wee Willie Winkie, " gives Victor McLaglen a powerful role as fearless, fighting fool, and provides splendid opportunities to C.. Aubrey Smith, June Lang, Mi chael Whalen. Cesar Romero, Con- stance Collier and young Douglas Scott.
 Life at a frontier army post in India is not too happy for Shirley and her widowed mother June Lang, for her grandfather, O. Aubrey Smith, is gruff old disciplinarian. The youngster decides that the only way to win the Colonel's approval is to become a soldier herself, and her friend, Michael Whalen, a young lieutenant, turns her over for training to the burly sergeant Victor McLaglen, who dubs her Wee Willie Winkie" because of the quaint way she has of screwing up her eyes when she asks questions.

LESLIE HOWARD
 |. IN COMIC LEAD OF "STAND IN'
Film of Hollywood As It Is Thought to Be Now at
 Capitol Theatre

When Walter Wanger decided to film "Stand-in," Clarence Budmg- ton Hollands hilarious Saturday Evening Post story which kids Hol- lywood to the hilt, he decided that the ultra modern United Artists plant wasn't fictionally Hollywood- ish enough to double for the fabu- lous Colossal Studios" where much of the action of the comedy, cur rently co.7tarring Leslie Howard and Joan Blondell at the Capitol Theatre, takes place.
 So a major job of lily gliding was in order. It began at the entrance. In place of plain iron gate, Art Director Alexander Toluboff had tc forget his good taste and design a two-story. ginger r-breadish affair more appropriate for Palace of Versailles. The name United Ar tists" was supplanted by "Colossal Studios" done in six-foot-high gold andSsilver grill-work letters.
 
 While. scenes were being filmed only the costliest motor-cars. driven by liveried chauffeurs, with footmen beside them, purred in and out of the film plant. Regular studio trai- f'c was diverted to another gate Passersby at Santa Monica Boule- yard and Formosa Avenue thought Hollywood really had gone Holly wood
 All the familiar fictional Holly wood characters parade across the screen in "Stand-in." There's the genius producer, played by Humph- rey Bogart; the fabulous foreigl, director, played by Alan Mowbray, the great glamour star, played l)J Maria Shelton. the villainous rival producer, in the person of c.

Leaders Are Few

Lack of men who really can lead has handicapped the brigands. but of late, the full force of the Mufti's terror has been turned upon the vacillating Arab in Palestine, for Haj Amin does not want the par tition commission to think a single Arab might be in favor of the scheme to divide the Holy Land.
 Thus the Multi, in exile, has built up for himself the most covet- ed position in the Arab world to- day. The French will not arrest him, declining to provoke an Arab uprising in North Africa; the local Syrian and Lebanese authorities will not touch him, because he has wormed his way into the higher circles.
 He will be the man of the hour if Arab independence should be- come a reality in part or all of Palestine or if there should be a federation of Arab states.

 Unfortunately. Americas 80,000,- 600 wheat acres will contribute more than their share to the glut of grain. They are going to yield a new record crop-close to one bil- lion bushels.
 Stem rust, the fungus growth that stunts little wheat grains, is doing it's utmost to reduce the bumper Amreican crop, but the rust got started late The experts figure it can't take over 150,0O0,0 900 bushels. That would still leave near-record crop.

TARIFF WALLS GO UP

And as if to complicate an al- ready cockeyed situation, Uncle Sam was constantly raising his tariff walls. Then a few years after the World War he stopped lending money to European nations. These things cut off from foreigners the supply of money they had been using to buy American wheat. Then other nations began raising their own tariff walls in the late 20's.
 The drought years = 1933-37- knocked the American farmer out of the world market. True, he had a piece of good luck in 1887. A wheat shortage in other big export ing nations handed him Is per cent of the world market, which meant the sale of around 90,000,000 bushels.
 But 1888 is different story. The American farmer planted 80,000, ,000 acres to wheat, close to a record. This time he guessed wrong. There is no wheat shortage abroad.

And so you listen, And maybe Abner Glib, that bad penny, that old, inevitable human stymie, tugs at your lapel and says, This is the silliest story I ever heard. l got it in Chicago. Maybe you know it, but don't stop me if you have because I am going to tell it any way:
 "A man was walking down State Street leading little green dragon. It was some sort of fete day and people were dancing in the street. Finally a lady passed by and her skirts happened to brush against the dragon. That annoyed the dragon and, turning his head, he emitted a long stream of fire at her. Smoke curled out of his nos trils. The lady was frightened, as who wouldn't be frightened. And this made the man angry. He yanked on the dragons leash and spoke very sharply to the dragon. He said, Listen, if you don't learn how to behave yourself I'm. going to take a bromo-seltzer and get rid of you"
