Princeton University in 1919. He then served as assistant professor in chemistry in New York University, 1919-24, associate in chemistry, 1924- 26 and associate professor at Johns Hopkins from 1926 until he came to Washington this fall.
 Professor Rice's scientific work lies mainly in the borderland be- tween physical and organic chem istry. He has specialized in the field of free radicals and, in the words of a distinguished colleague: For two years he was voice crying in the wilderness. No one treated his ideas with seriousness. Within the past year there has been complete change Of opinion and it is now rec ognized that his ideas are sub- Stantially correct, and, as a conse- quence, whole chapter in modern chemistry is of necessity to be re- examnied and reformulated in terms of his concepts"
 A half-hundred research articles from his pen have been published in scientific journals here and abroad. His latest book, 'The Ali phatic Free Radicals was written in collaboration with his wife, who is distinguished chemist in her own right. She received the degree, Doctor of Science, in 1930, and at present is in her third year studying medicine at Johns Hopkins Univer- sity.

COUNTRY CLUB.
 SUED FOR $25OO
Donald Mcclellan Also Names Steward Bruno
 Heitz Defendant

When Donald McKellar hired the Chase Country club at Wolcott he expected service.
 Furthermore, he didn't expect to have to use the rear entrance at any time during the night of Nov. 25,. 1887.
 Such is part of the complaint in the suit for $2,500 damages en- tered by Mcclellan against the Chase Country club and a steward at the club, Bruno Heitz, today in the court of common pleas.
 McKellar, by his attorney, Fran cis J. Butler. alleges that he was shown out the rear entrance when he asked directions to find the grounds at about o'clock on the evening of the incident cited. He alleges that Heitz let him out the rear door where there was un- lighted steps and that he fell, frac- turing a portion of his foot and suffering other injuries.
 The complaint cites that McKel- lar hired the use of the main room and service at the bar and that the steward and the country club were negligent in the instance of his be- ing shown out the "unlighted rear entrance"

No Need for Expensive

money and, in fact, I am quite
convinced that any glasses which
allow a person in this condition to
read and do close work, will do no
harm. An indication Of this is the
fact that old people who have mis-
laid their glasses, often borrow
those Of others Of about the. same
age and even after using them for
an hour or two, do not have
headache or evidence Of eye strain.
Expensive Frames. Unnecessary
There is certainly no reason why
expensive frames need be used for
these glasses because, they usual
ly have to be discarded within a
year or more, until the eyes final
ly get set at about the age of 30.
In view of the economic, prob
lem involved here, I really believe,
in every community some char
liable person or organization
should offer to collect the old
spectacle frames and the old
lenses that people from the age of.
As on are discarding, SO that. they
may be used by others who are
not fortunate enough in this
worlds goods to procure, proper
ones.

on its value if he becomes declarer,
so he can without hesitation over
call with 1-Eagle - which, of
course, he could do even without it..
Fine players have already got to-
gether on the idea that the first
member of pair to bid or double
counts the honor strength Of the
widow card for the side. If the
partner now bids, such as North
calling diamonds, he may be
considering the widow as adding.
to his length in diamonds, but
should not count it's honor strength
in his calculations.
Here, then, is the most impor-
tant new set of conventions for
bidding: The first member of a
pair who bids or doubles counts
the honor value of the widow. card;
the partner never counts it's honor
value; the first member of the side
who names the same suit as the
widow counts it in his suit length,
but his mate doesn't.
