to find out.
The fact that SO many more
people have money In their
pockets these days, while fewer
people have been going to movies
has been a shocking paradox to
to flicker industry. The dealers
in make believe finally are real
izing that the whole tempo OF

DdIIllHB pEOOlSIhS.
You will note on the fifth
round of bidding on today's hand,
North made an insufficient bid
for five hearts. North and South
were using the Blackwood con-
vention, in accordance with
which North's five diamond bid
showed one ace. When South bid
five no trump, asking for the
number Of kings in North's hand
the correct response would have
been six hearts to show two
kings.
, When the insufficient bid was
made, Baldwin was called to the
table and explained that North
must make q sufficient bid and
that in any event, South would
have to pass. Now North had to
try to decide upon the correct
contract, and bid six clubs, West
protested at once and asked for a
neutral score, but Baldwin cor
rectly ruled that the hand should
be played out before ne gave a
decision.
North and South easily made
six clubs. West pointed out that
had North made the proper re-
Spouse of six hearts showing two
kings, North and South would
then have been in an unmakable
contract.
Baldwin sustained this view,
set aside the results and award
ed East and West the score they
would have made had the con-
tract been played at six hearts
down two, doubled. 80

to increase defense production

To make O thing like this
effective, there must be some
form Of industry control, Since
the Supreme Court had out

whole ideo Of NRA is repue-
mont to Thurman Arnold's
antitrust division Of the De-

rARMERs RATION THEIR WHEAT

During 1917 and 10 A"er'eon
formers we're induced to pillow up the
proins to grow wheot for peeeed price

struoole the situation is very different
In the United Stotes the corryover
Of this oroin from lost yeor is the 'or9-
est on record-5OO million bushels, or
approximately three-fourths OF yeors
suppiy-ond the winter wheot r0re-
cost indicates bigger crop thon lost
veor OK the ten-yeor average: Neon
While the Motion is hemmed IN by
economic or war bIockodes ond Greet
Brition receives plentiful supplies from
Conodo, Austrolio, and Argentina, SO
that export prospects ore limited.
Under these circumstances, formers
or the wheot-erowine sections OF the
United Stotes have just voted by tour
TO one. according to an announcement
from the Department Of Agriculture.
TO impose upon themselves q wheat
marketing quote this yeor. The quote
will be in no cose less than the 'S4O
production of the form if AAA oereo9e
ojlotnents were observed then, but any
norketinas above the quote will be
subject to penalty Of IS cents
bushel.
Ii This is measure Of seIf-regulotion
which American formers could scarcely
have been persuaded to consider ten
years ooo. Its adoption besPeoks to
thot extent an education in their own
marketing problems. This is wholesome
40 long os it aims only at q boIoncin9 OF
supply with what the Nation will con-
sumo at reasonable price. If it ever
should develop into q device to force up
the price Of bread by scarcity, public
reaction would be severe
At present, as hos been indicated,
the wheat suppNoppeors plentiful, and
one effect Of ocreoge restriction is TO
build reserve of soil fertility for in
creased production if needed. K. M.
Evans, AAA administrator, expresses
the opinion thot the marketing quota
will assure formers this year Of wheat
price approximately equal to the. por-
ity" aimed at in farm legislation. Such
q result would at leost be more deten-
sibIe thon the efforts by the current
Congress to accomplish 'pority re-
turn by large appropriations from the
Federal Treasury and by Government
"Ioons" above the market price OF form
products.

STATEsAAN-AT-LAW

Seldom has any man achieved such
q rounded coreer in the public service
as that which lies behind Charles Evans
Hughes at his retirement from the
Chief Justiceship of the United Stotes
Supreme Court.
He hos combined the qualities Of
scholar in politics, and Of stotesmon
on the bench, yet there is something
besides scholarship and political or
legal ocumen that hos contributed to
make him greet 1t is on obiIity to join
dignity With eeniolity and the ousterity
of q jurist with wormth Of human feel
ing.
This, in part, expIoins the remark
able blend Of liberalism and conservo-
tism with which he hos held the bo'-
once of the Supreme Court during one
of the most fluid and critical periods in
it's history. His scrupulous regard for
the judicial amenities helped enormous
Iy to carry the tribunal through the
court packing" struggle Of 1887 with
out change in the number OF its MEM
bers.
Yet the proeressveness Of deci-
sions in which he must have had q
Leading port we're bulworks OF political
strength to the Court in that contest.
He cove the opinions, for instance,
which sustained the right Of Stote to
fix minimum wages for women and
which upheld the constitutionoIity OF
the Wagner National Labor Relations
Act.
This must have given some second
thoughts Of those liberal Senators who,
in 1890, opposed confirmation Of Mr..
Hughes as Chief Justice, on the
grounds thot he would be too con-
servotive. They inodequotely estinno-
ted the resiIency Of the man who had
conducted the insurance investigation
in New York Stote in, 1906, became
reform Governor of thot Stote, and
then an Associate Justice Of the United
Stotes Supreme Court.
From this point his experience in
stotecroft had been broodened by q
campaign which very neorly mode him
President Of the United States in 1916,
by q return TO private ProCtiCe OF low,
by distinguished service as Secretary
of Stote. and later os Justice OF the
World Court at The Hague.
IF this is the recipe for proper train
ing of on occupant Of the Chief Justice
ship, it is obvious that President Roose-
Welt will have difficult search for q
fitting successor. The pattern, Of
course, is not rigid one, but the very
strength o which the Court hos at
toined under fire places upon the Chief
Executive deep responsibility in the
choice Of nominees to fill vacancies on
its bench. For within recent years the
Supreme Court has actually grown in
importance as on American nstitu-
ton and as q safeguard Of Liberties.
