Entertainment At
State Fair To Be
Feature OF Week
DAILY DispaLcn Bureau,
Tn The Cir Walter Hotel

Raleigh, Sept. 3O.--An attractive ar
ray of entertainment features for the
North Carolina State Fair, which will
start Tuesday, October II, in Raleigh,
was described today by DR.. J. s. Dor
ton of Shelby, general manager for
the exposition.
Many of the attractions he en-
phasized, will be playing their pre-
miere engagements in the South.
These include a dozen thrilling hip
podron1e acts employing some of the
finest circus talent the word pro-
duces and available to the State Fair
only through the international Book
ing Office of George A. Hanid in
New York.
I 'sWhile our fair is designed pri-
marily to feature the progress OF
North Carolina in agriculture, indus
try and education, we must also pre-
sent a creditable entertainment pro-
gram to make it a well-rOunded fair
explained DR.. Dorton. "Our only re-
quirements are that the entertain
ment be pleasing to the public and
entirely free of Objectionable aspects. :
For the first time in six years the
midway will present changed ap-
pearance. Replacing the familiar
world of Mirth Shows will be the
modern Johnny J. Jones Exposition
with 30 rides and shows representing
the latest improvements in the car
nival field. This carnival, one of the
largest in the business, was a favorite
at the State Fair a decade and more
ago.
Each night a colorful revue entitled
Revelations of 1882 will be presents
ed before the grandstand with its own
swing band, speciality dancers, daz-
cling scenery and a varied program of
mirth and melody. The dozen hippi-
drome1 acts will intersperse each
nights performance of the revue and
also will be presented during the aft
ernoon's racetrack programs.
Harness races will be featured
Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, and
auto races under A. A. A. sanction
will be. the arena attraction Saturday
A Thrill Day" program with Lucky
Teter and His Hell drivers, the
worlds greatest aggregation Of
motorized daredevils, is scheduled fol-

with his weak holding, his partner
would have shown hearts. in which
event the tragedy would have been
avoided. When West went to three
diamonds, North decided he had bid
enough. South was not in the least
apprehensive when he ventured three
spades. When West doubled, South
considered redoubling, but eventually
thought better of 1t, since he was un-
certain whether he could set four dia-
monds if his opponent ran out.
When West opened diamonds, de-
clarer trumped the second round and
led a small spade to dummy's 10.
After winning, West returned club,
and now declarer made a fatal mis-
take. He knew that he could make
his contract II trumps were divided,
and optimistically played another
trump. hoping for the break. West
won with the queen, cashed his ace,
then forced declarer's last trump
with diamond. West eventually was
able to run OF the remainder Of his
diamonds and set the contract four
tricks.
A good share of the blame goes to
declarer, since he could have held the
penalty to one trick by playing clubs
until West trumped.

THE Savannah, first steamship to
cross the Atlantic, did not rely on
her new steam engine alone for power
Whenever the winds were right she
spread her sails to take advantage Of
them.
When, after month of sailing, the
vessel sighted the English shore, her
skipper ordered more wood thrown
into the fire. Clouds of smoke belched
forth; white steam curled upward
through the rigging. Alarmed, the
Englishmen who watched from shore
feared she was afire and sent a cutter
to her aid. But she sailed into Liver
pool under her own power, even though
no passenger had been brave enough
to make the crossing on her.
Named the Savannah after her port
of departure. this boat presented a
strange spectacle to the watchers who
lined the shores to see her steam out
into the Atlantic in the year 1919.
Her three masts scared proudly above
dirty smokestack squatting amid
ship, just forward Of the main mast.
White sails, billowing from her
spreading yardarms. were enveloped
In clouds of black smoke. On either
side sloshing sidewheels churned
through the salty ocean water.

Winning Contract.
BY THE FOUR ACES.
Over Anxious.

ZINE players today are in general
accord. that when partial score
situation exists, it is sound tactics to
open the bidding in first or second
position on rock-bottom minimums.
1t is found that if player passes a
fair hand when the opponents have q
part score, one of his adversaries i'm
mediately opens the bidding and he
must either content himself with be-
ing shut out or subsequently make a
very risky overcall. In today's hand
the North player followed these tactics
perfectly, but unfortunately went too
far when, on the second round of bid
ding, he gave an unsound raise. A
disaster followed.

 WPA Regulations
 While regulations of the Works Progress Administration do not per- init submission of projects or the use of project employees in muni- cipal snow-removal work, it is per- miSSable for project employees when not on official duty to accept such work if it is paid for by com munity, it was announced today by State Administrator Vincent J. Sul- livan.
 In number of recent instances, MT. Sullivan said, newspapers have referred to WPA workers as having cleared local streets of snow. MT. Sullivan pointed out that none of this work has been carried on by the WPA. The administrator ex- plained that his organization would close projects, if necessary, to al- low and in fact to encourage work CTS to accept private employment with the city for snow-removal work and this step, he said, has been taken in several instances dur ing the past few days. Men who leave projects to accept such pri- vate municipal employment, will be allowed to make up their time at a later date, MT. Sullivan said.
