II is the 62nd consecutive annual meeting OF Mo-

higher honor other than the
jack. Declarer wins with the
king of hearts and leads a low
spade from dummy. East must
go up with the king.
1t looks from declarer's play
as though he has to develop
couple of spade tricks to make
the contract. With the ace and
king of spades against him. he
wants to knock out Vests en-
tries before East's, so that West
cannot regain the lead to make
his diamonds after they are
cleared.
East must foil this plan by
taking his king at once, TO save
Vests ace. Then East can clear
the diamonds while West still
has his side entry.
1t may be argued that South
hight hold ace-jack alone of
spades, and that East's play
would be suicidal. But such
holding is very improbable.
Surely the declarer in this case
would have better chances by
leading the ace and jack of
spades to assure himself of three
tricks in the suit.

LAUGHS AT HERSELF
Miss Hepburn can laugh at
herself, and now doesn't mind
recalling some of her pictures,
that turn out badly. Today,
for instance, when she happens
to bungle a shot she's likely to
take a mock bow and announce:
That was scene from Sylvia
Scarlet" Such a reference
makes double rib. because
Sylvia Scarlet" a dismal flop
of 1896, was directed by George
Cukor, who is directing Keeper
Of the Flame"
Tracy doesn't allow her TO for
get other fizzles of her career.
After chatting offstage with
somebody who knew her years
ago, he rushed to Cukor with the
announcement that Katie was
dismissed from a play called
Night Hostess" She was only

posed so desperately that audi

isn't known, for instance, that
in 1882 she was cast opposite
Leslie Howard in The Animal
Kingdom" but was replaced by
Ann Harding after the star de-
manded: Take her out and find
me an actress" She also lost a
role in something originally
titled The Pawn" Stung by
humiliations, Miss Hepburn de-
cided to stage performance
which would keep people from
ignoring her whether they liked
1t or not.
Keeper Of the Flame" an

confinement to quarters or a
few days in the guard house.
A short time before the de-
Tense Army began to be built
up, the Army brass hats came
TO the sensible decision that in
order to give maximum training
to every soldier, the only kind
of a guard house which did the
Army any good was an empty
guard house, Ind furthermore it
was silly to take up the time of
a lot of Of GERS conducting
courts martial. Instead of pre-
ferring forma | charges and
bringing soldiers before a mill
tary court, on all petty offenses,
commanding officers now award
administrative punishment such
as a reprimand or extra duty
unless the soldier demands trial
by court martial. The soldier
naturally chooses the former.
Punishment is swift.
FIGURES PROVE 1T
This elimination of useless
and time-consuming trials was
carried right up through the en-
tire system of military justice.
Direct punishment by company
commanders was substituted for
the Summary Court Martial,
which corresponds TO the low
est justice of the peace court
in civilian life. Similarly, spec
ial courts martial for more Sc
rious offenses md general courts
martial for the most serious
crimes were handled by the low
er courts wherever possible. The
result has been a tremendous
decrease in the number OF trials
by military tribunal, as compar-
ed with the first World War.
Figuring it another way, for
the fiscal year 1941, last pc
riod for which there are COM
plete records available, the num-
Der of General Courts Martial
specifications or charges made
was 1859 while the number of
counts on which there were con-
victions was only 1857. The COM
monest offenses charged we're:
desertion, 1913; petit larceny,
687; absent without leave, 483;
escape of prisoner, ITS; forgery,
142; grand larceny. 10; rob-
berry. 43.
BETTER THAN CIVILIANS
All along the line of military
justice, therefore, there has been
a Tightening of sentences and
courts martial proceedings,
predicated on the theory that
there should be a minimum of
escape from military service.
The Army system of military
justice encourages this practise.
Every company commander
must read the Articles of War
to his soldiers, and explain them
