At last a model dog law has been
passed. New Jersey has the honor
of being the leader in this field, and
all other States may well copy the
law now on her statute books. This
law, which goes into effect the 1st
of November, was sponsored by the
Dog Owners Association of New
Jersey, an organization called into
being by Mrs. M. Hartley Dodge, in
an effort to combat the rabies vac
cination racket. The new law places
in the hands of the health depart
ment the right to provide uniform
licensing registration and control of
dogs and to regulate sanitary con-
ditions in kennels, pounds and pet
shops where dogs are offered for
sale. 1t is hoped the law will elm
mate strays in the course of time
and with them much of the rabies
hazard.
The Greenwich Kennel Club Show
last Saturday was a memorial to
Frances Thord-Grey who died re-
Gently. 1t was indeed fitting that
the best dog in this show was an
Irish terrier, a member of the breed
she loved best and for which she
did so much. The big winner was

Threat. He was shown in the finals
by Tom Gately. who purchased him
as 7-month-old pup at the Boston
show last year and then sold him
to his present owner, Tom, by the
way, is doing all right by himself
this year. In the last month or so.
he has chalked up three best in show
awards with three different dogs,

Is scheduled for July 22-27. Then
1t will be only one week until the
opening of the summer tournament
of the American Contract Bridge
League at Asbury Park, N. J.
The statement is often made that
there is practically no difference be-
tween duplicate bridge and rubber
bridge so far as the play of the hand
is concerned. That is quite gen.
orally true, for the exceptions are
rare. There is, however, a wide
variation in the bidding, as any
duplicate or tournament event will
afford abundant evidence.
The 10-point margin which a
small slam in no-trumpS gives in
the score over a small slam in either
of the major suits is something that
the best players struggle to get. 1t
may mean top on the board which
in a close contest will enable the
pair making the no-trump slam to
win match. Again, the higher bid
may result in set which will record
a bottom. Most PLAYERS prefer the
major suit SIAM which is sure,
rather than a chance at the slam
no-trump. Experts attempt the lat
ter when the declsrer believes his
opponents are a bit inferior and
will fail to take advantage of their
opportunity.
The deal given below offers an
example for the two schools Of play:

This bid was made without diff
Guilty. At another table. South bid
s no-trump and actually made
seven, although he should have
been set one trick. The feat was
accomplished because he had op-
ened the bidding with one diamond.
Placed on lead, West did not wish
to lead up to the declarer's first bid
suit, which South had anticipated
as he expected to play the hand in
a no-trump contract and sought to
avoid a lead of diamonds. West
led the nine of hearts, top of Moth
ing.
South won with the queen and
then played out that suit and the
spades, discarding all four Of his
diamonds and setting up the 18th
club when that suit broke 3-3. A
diamond opening would have put
him down. BY taking a chance of
not getting diamond opening,
South got top on the board. No one
else risked the bid.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 31.-To me the moments of real drama in Congress come when one of the chambers. and particularly tn e House of Representatives, votes on some momentous bill on which the destiny of the nation may hang or at least as result of which millions of lives may be affected.
 I think perhaps the drama in the House is more tense, more stirring because of the cumber- some size of that body. With it's 430-odd members (there always are vacancies because of deaths and resignations) with its many shades of thought which often cut through party lines; with its limited debate. which makes it impossible for more than a small proportion of the members to ex- press themselves; the House vote

WASHINGTON, Oct. 31.-Presi- dent Roosevelt early this morning ordered the Army to take over oper- ation of the plant of Air Associates, Inc, at Bendix, New Jersey, declar- ing that a labor dispute had made a stoppage in vital defense production
 It was imminent also that the company had failed to carry out it's part" of recommendations by the National Defense Mediation Board. according to the President.
 The dramatic move climaxed weeks of controversy in which the CIO struck amidst violence, while the company continued to operate. Soldiers wefe dispatched today from nearby forts
 Last night, John L. Lewis officially announced that CIO miners in cap tive coal mines owned by steel com panies would return to work under a 17-day truce to allow further mediation of the dispute which threatens to close down the nations largest steel mills
 The Army took over the plant of Air Associates, Inc, at Bendix, N. J., today and announced it would hire workers as rapidly as possible lfter inventories have been made so the work on vital airplane parts may )e resumed.
 More than 2.0O0 troops were on guard duty around the plant, scene of labor disputes since September, but both factions in the bitter fight cheered the announcement by Col. Roy Jones, in command, that men will be hired despite past difficult ties.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3l.--Thc Navy Department early this morning announced the loss of its first warsldp in tn. European war. the destroyer Reilben James. victim of torpedoing last night west of Iceland.

WASHINGTON = One of the Merry-Go Founders has spent the past two weeks taking a quick turn through the Middle West from Ohio to Missouri, generally considered the cradle of isolation and the area which Roosevelt has to swing ii he wants a unified nation behind hlS foreign policies.
 For years that area has been much more interested in Mississippi barges than battleships and felt just as. safe from invasion as the Russian peasants along the Volga River. Foreign policy was some thing they remembered only from the days when they recited in school George Washington's Fare well Message on entangling alli- ances.
 But today. as far as this observer can ascertain, the Middle West is not isolationist. Nor is sold on Roosevelt's policies It is in a con- luocu Soiieiitioii, iuiiipiuiS OStWiAe and between.
 For this first time in the history of the Midwest, it's people are awakening to the fact that they cannot remain isolationist, that the airplane and modern science have narrowed the Atlantic to the 1914 1914 width of the English Channel, They know that the chain of new defense arsenals and factories from st. Paul to Tulsa and Houston, down the backbone of America in stead of along the Atlantic sea- board, mean revolutionary change in the defense of the country. And they are about ready to believe

To bolster his contention that vice

Bolivian Senators TO Ask
Study Of Oil Question
Fy the Associated Press.

Ey the Associated Press.
LA PAz, Bolivia, March 11-Sen-
ators Mamerto Urriolagoitia and
Luis Calvo announced yesterday
they would ask the Senate to con-
slider the Bolivian Standard Oil
appropriation question which they
described as harmful to United
States Bolivian relations.
Standard Oil properties in this
country were taken over by the
government in March, 1887, on the
grounds that the company had not
fulfilled a contract. The Bolivian
Supreme Court upheld the govern
ment action in March, 1899.
Senator Urriolagoitia said that be-
cause of the oil question, Bolivia
had received no loan from the U. S.
Export Import Bank. He added he
would tell the Senate that an "equit-
able settlement rather than one in
volving indemnity" should be sought.
He expressed the opinion that
Bolivia would have difficulty in OBJ
tanning financial assistance from
the United States unless an agree
ment could be reached on the oil
question.
