of a number Of Congressman to
sign the discharge petition. With
the successful passage of the Geyer
Bill by the House in October by a

Called vitol

SAN FRANCISCO, April p
R-America must send help to
its heroic soldiers in the Philip
pines, Mrs. Francis Sayre, first
woman to return from Corregi-
dor since the japanese struck,
declared today.
r 1.-THE job Of winning this war
Is ours" said the wife Of the
U. s. High Commissioner to the
Philippines. Her husband pre-
coded her to the United States
and now Is in Warrington.
THE men over there In the

Is an obligation that belongs to

those men. We cannot forget
them because they know we will

amount of capital necessary to
manufacture Q certain military
article, while In others, the per-
centage Of profit might have to
be much higher because Of the
slow turnover.
Democratic leader Barley of
Kentucky likewise has declared
that the imposition of an over
all limitation on profits would
be ineffective.
DARKLEY AIRS VIEWS
Barley said he though the
question could be handled more
intelligently In the new tax bill
but Senator Byrd (D-VA) said
1t was likely that profit amend
ments would be advanced April
20 when the Senate argues q mo-
ton to take up the Connally bill
to permit the Government to
seize strike-bound war produc-
ton plants.
Senator Connally (D-Tex)
agreed yesterday to let his mo-
ton 60 over while the Senate
takes q belated Easter recess of
two weeks, but he told report
ers he expected a full crop of
labor amendments to be offered
when and II the bill finally gets
before the chamber.
These probably would include,
he said, amendments suspend
ing operation of the 40-hour
wage law. as well as others out
having strikes and freezing the
present status of unions in war
industries. Connally's bill would
freeze working conditions In
seized plants, but would permit
wage adjustments by . special
board.

. McKENNEY's BRIDGE QUIZ

BY VIM. +. MCKINNEY
Americas Gard Authority

One OF the first of the major
state championships of 1912 was the
Maryland State Championships,
held in Baltimore Feb. 6-8.
Baltimore is an active bridge CEN
ter. Col. Robert J. Gill of Balti-
more served as president of the
America. Contract Bridge League
last year, and Mrs. Allan Ruther-
ford of that city is now president
of the Women's national commit
tee of the league. AS result, many
of the New York and Philadelphia
stars attended this tournament.
Mrs. Rutherford is a demure it
tie lady who will fool you at the
bridge table if you are not care
full Here is a clever play that l
saw her make at tournament
short time ago.
When South played the ace of
spades on the queen, Mrs. Ruth
er1ord, sitting West, dropped the
king. South looked at it suspi-
ciously, but decided that it must
be honest.
If West held both the six and
five of spades, then her false card,
intending to discourage another
lead which North could ruff, would
give her a second spade loser any
how. If she had one remaining
small spade, the false card would
also give up a trick for no appar-
ent purpose. Finally, South decid-
ed that with singleton spade,
North would have doubled four
hearts.
