. MCKINNEY ON BRIDGE

When dummy went down,
Denny decided that East must
have doubled q long trump hold
ing. Hence the proper plan never
to lead trumps, but to make as
many trumps as possible by
cross-ruff.
The opening lead was won by
the ace of hearts and dummy
led the other heart, the king
winning. Next South cashed the
ace of clubs and led the six, won
by East's king. East exited with
a diamond, forcing the ace.
Dummy led q club, West dis
carded a diamond, and South
ruffed. South led q heart for
dummy to ruff with the ace. An.
other club was led, and again
East discarded, South ruffing.
Denny led his last heart and
ruffed with the Jack of trump; ).
In order TO avoid the end-play
that ensued, East would have
had to discard I small trump UNI
der one OF the ruffs. But he had
let 60 all his diamonds, saving
oil five trumps. Now he over
ruffed the Jack Of spades with
the king, and then had TO lead q
small trump, letting South make
the seven.
South exited with the losing
diamond, forcing East back with
. ruff. Then East had 70 lead
from his minor tenace and give
South the last two tricks.
Denny thus made four odd,
doubled at three.

OF all the new corners In a

probably has the best chance at
quick, genuine stardom. For one
thing, she's not likely to be neg
lected by her studio, since Uni
versal had to overbid and out
argue most Of the other movie
companies to sign her away from
Broadway.
Even more important Is her
role in this first picture because
she's the only woman In the cast;
she gets to wear clothes and sing,
and then she gets to wear dunga-
rees and act. Several top-notch
glamorous were considered for
the part but none seemed to have
quite the qualities of oomph-gal
gamin and torrid warbler that
the producer-director, Frank
Lloyd wanted.
Miss Bruce never had faced a

she could continue in Louisiana

This being q democracy,
however. we toke our stotistics
as we get them and opropos Of
this. Il might be mentioned
thot the Bureou Of Labor Sto-
tistics, BIS In the Department
Of Labor. hos but recently been
oble to releose its study Of
strikes in 1910. Just what is to
be COINED by this compilation
Is something that will have to
be left to you. II does show US
where we have been ond It may
show US where we're going.
There were slightly more
than $500 strikes in 1910 in
which about $1,000 workers
were involved and 600, 900
mon-doys Of labor were lost.
Comparing thot with the ov-
eroee Of the previous five years
it's not so bad, for the 1910
figures ore II per cent under
in number Of strikes; they In
voIved only 81 per cent as
many workers and there was
Only 40 per cent as much time
lost. The average 1910 strike
though tied up 23O men for
eleven and q holt days, or 2645
mon-doys of labor lost. Or.
tokine the length Of strike
without reference to the num-
Der Of workers, the overoee for
1910 was three weeks.
The interesting thing TO do
is to 90 on from there and see
what the strikes were for and
whot they accomplished. As to
the couses of strikes, one sur
prisine sideIieht is thot Of the
$500 strikes in 1910. l54l
we're A. F. Of L. and 689 were
c. /. O. Seventh seven strikes
were Of the now generally con-
demned iurisdictionoI variety.
RECOGNITION
THE ISSUE
The difficulty Of Classifying
strikes according to eouse is
primarily the problem Of
strikes involving two or more
issues, but tobulotina as core
fully as il could, BIS comes
forth with the conclusion thot
half Of the 1910 strikes were
primarily over the issues Of un-
ion recognition. You con ottri-
butte thot to the Wooner oct
or not, os you choose. Woee
and hour issues accounted for
80 per cent Of the strikes and
the remaining 20 per cent we're
over miscellaneous grievances.
With that very general pic
ture Of strike causes, toke q
look at what the strikes &C.
complished-whot they got the
workers involved. To get at
this, the bureau eIossifies &C.
cordine to opporent results at

Jittery with excitement and

Attorney General
Rules On Special
Sheriff Deputies

County commissioners may
appropriate funds for the sher-
iff to hire special deputies to
maintain order at the county
fair, Attorney General Thomas
]. Herbert ruled this week in
an opinion to A. Ross Silvering,
Ashland county prosecutor.
Laws permitting a Justice of
Peace to appoint constables to
keep order at the fair do not by
implication prevent the sheriff
from policing the fair.
Sheriffs are chief officers of
counties and their jurisdiction is
co-extensive with the county, in
cluding all municipalities and
townships therein. Failure of To-
cal authorities to maintain order
does not excuse the sheriff from
doing so.
State highway patrolmen may
swear to affidavits for violation
of traffic laws without having
seen the actual violation, but up
on information gathered in in
vestigation of an accident, At
torney General Thomas J. Her
bert said in an opinion to Lynn
Black, highway patrol superin-
tendent.
No civil liability for false ar
rest would arise unless the pa
trolman is actuated by malice or
does not have reasonable and
probable cause to believe an Of
fense has been committed. Hand
ing out a traffic ticket does not
constitute an arrest or restraint
of liberty and policemen can not
be sued for issuing them.

Highway Engineer
Will Release
Statistical Report

In the last twenty months
up to March /, 1941-the Ohio
department of highways has
sponsored and carried out a ST.
100000 WPA improvement pro-
gram in Division Five, made up
of these counties-Knox, Co.'S
hocton, Licking, Muskingum,
Guernsey, Fairfield and Perry.
The program is still going for
ward.
Edgar L. Mill, chief engineer,
Division Five, made that report
this week, at his headquarters
in Newark.
An average of 800 men a
month were employed on this
highway work, and all the COM
pleted work was accepted as
satisfactory, Mr.. Mill informed
Director Sours.
In submitting his report Mr..
Mill quoted a state highway en-
gineer in. charge of WPA pro-
jects in Division Five as say
ing:
"The average WPA worker is
the head of family, too old to
be employed by industry and too
young to receive old age bene-
fits. He will do a good days
work if supervision of the pro-
ject is adequate. He likes to
work on jobs requiring some de-
gree of skill, such as bridge
painting, roadside parks, seeding
and planting, pavement widen
ing, bridge and culvert construc-
ton, and erection of guard rail.
When busy on this type of work
he is able to see some physical
accomplishments as a result of
his efforts, and therefore is in
terested in his job"
