THE LEopARD's SPOTS

THE LEOPARD'S SPOTS
(Not Mystery Thriller; Just Fashion Note
The leopards home is the jungle,
But leaves his home, please notes
To take his place in the style world
As stole or a full fledged coat
You see him in many ways,
This somewhat formidable cat,
But no one objects to him at all
When made into ladyis hat.
Who'd want to meet leopard
In native haunts making racket,
But you won't mind his spots at all
When seen in lady's jacket.
The leopard cat is with us,
We've come to like him lots
Just as conspicuous as in the jungle
Can leopard change his Spotsl

Hi-jocked Ship OFF
Australia Is Puzzle

On the sea bottom within sight
Of land, of the northern coast Of
West Australia, is q mystery ship,
according to information received
at Sydney.
Before the ship plunged to the
ocean floor its cargo, believed to
have been valuable, was evidently
transferred. All brass and special
metal that could be removed had
been taken away. Who hi-jacked
the vessel the authorities are asking.
The fate of the personnel is not
known, but 1t is assumed that they
are safe. It is clear that the ship
was sunk by design, but whether
this was arranged before she sailed
from her last port is in doubt.

Governors Expected
To Revamp Program
To Include Defense
Duluth Conference
Will Turn to
Preparedness
Nv the Associated Press.

6S the Associated fTeSS.
DULUTH, MINI, May 31.-Possi-
bility that the announced program
Of the National Governors Confer
ence opening here Sunday may be
partially scrapped and rebuilt to in
clude national defense discussions
was foreseen by men in charge of
local arrangements.
President Roosevelt has suggested
that the Governors, during their
four-day session, consider the de-
fense program in the light of Eu-
ropes warfare. The program of dis
cussions, as released by the confer
ence Executive Committee this week,
contains no mention of the subject,
but local leaders believed that, since
the President made his suggestion
after comforting with Gov. Lloyd
Stark OF Missouri, chairman of the
Executive Committee, some revis-
ions probably would be made.
Meanwhile, the first of the Is
Governors expected to attend the
gathering arrived yesterday. He is
Gov. Clifford Townsend of Indiana,
who, with Mrs. Townsend and his
secretary, Dick Heller and his wife,
arrived yesterday morning for a
three-day fishing trip before the
start of the meeting.
Cows. George D. Aiken of Ver-
mont, Leverett Saltonstall of Mass
achusetts, and Raymond E. Bald
win of Connecticut, with a party of
18, are expected Sunday on chart
cred transport, plane.
The other Governors will arrive
during the week end for the first
conference activity, reception by
M1nnesota's Gov. Harold E. Stas-
sen, Sunday night. During the fol-
lowing three days the Governors
are scheduled to discuss State and
national problems and visit the Min
nesota iron ranges. The session
will adjourn next Wednesday night.

, MCKINNEY ON BRIDGE
Kings, Queens of Four Sui
BY VIM. E. MCKINNEY
Americas Gard Authority


The last stronghold of true roy
atty is in the deck of cards. Num-
erous attempts have been made to
replace the kings and queens in
the deck. During the French Revo-
luton, the pasteboard monarchs
were banished from French packs
and their places taken by figures
representing Liberty, Equality and
Fraternity. Not long ago Russia tried
to introduce kingless and queenless
decks, but stories from overseas
tell us that the decks used in the
trenches still have their kings and
queens. It is doubtful whether any
of us will ever see the king and
queen of the pasteboards shaken
from their thrones.
A dangerous king was outmaneu-
vered today by an obliging knave.
Wess continued with two more
rounds of diamonds, South trump
ing the third. Two rounds took out
the adverse trumps. and now the
problem facing the declarer was
how to avoid losing trick each in
hearts and clubs. True, the club
f1nesse might win, but South was
dubious, as the three-bid used by
West usually is made with six cards
headed by ace-king-queen and no
side trick.
OF course, If the club finesse
should be a winner, it could be
taken any time, but the declarer
decided not to risk losing to the
king, but to try for throw-in play
first. Therefore, he led three rounds
of hearts, and East,s knave (Jack)
did the trick. He won the third lead,
and now East was forced either to
lead away from his king of clubs
