the first trick with the queen of

took the finesse. East stayed off,
and declarer then cashed the ace

Now declarer led the three of

West won and cashed the ace and

To be practical for hard wear

must be thoroughly secured with

CUT IS IMPORTANT

advises you to check on the cut of
garments by looking closely at the
grain of the fabric in sleeves and
across the chest and shoulders. In

finesse was right. Therefore, he
should not have won the first dia-

would have no entry. Declarer would

Getting Down To Earth

The administration at Washington is getting back to
the ground from some of its excursions into the empyrean.
The postwar plans which for a time envisaged a new Wor!o'
swept and ~garnished," a world order resembling Utopia,
a bluepint against war, depression, fear and want, have
been revised downward. The closer the country comes to
the November elections the more cautious the leaders In
Washington become.
The idea that this country would erect a world system
of aid and relief, international control OF prices and wages,
regulation of commerce, leveling OF tariffs, a parilment OF
man, and so on, has been abandoned.
A world bank and huge sterilization fund, an inter-
national currency, new monetary standards and a board OF
managers to exercise control over every nations currency,
have few advocates now. Congress has turned it down,
though some modest approach may be found to the problem
of international exchange.
The scheme to erect q system of controls that would
guarantee an ever-normal granary, a pooling of all food
production at a guaranteed fair price for all wheat, cotton,
corn, meat, and other staple crops, has been found I'M
practicable. The plan talked of at Hot Springs, Va, con-
ference, has been shelved.
The rehabilitation agency with former Governor Leh-
man at it's head, has greatly modified its views. Ihere VIII

COLUMBUS, O., Nov. 7.-tRH
In his words and actions, Carroll
Widdoes hardly fits t h e popular
conception of a college football
coach-but his product is doing a
lot of speaking and acting for him.
"Wid's' Ohio State university
team is unbeaten and united ir
six games, is leading the western
conference and there isn't much
doubt but that it's the top au-ci-
william grid team in the nation.
The stocky, 40-year-old Widdoes,
who was born in the Philippine
Islands of missionary parents,
shocked everyone before the sea-
son started when he predicted Ohio
State would have pretty good
team and stood a chance to win
a majority of it's games.
However, that's just as far as
he's ever gone.
The mere fact that, without fuss
or fanfare. he has produced an
outstanding football team in h S
first year as head coach of col
lege squad probably helps expleir
why vivid" is one of the mos
personable gents you'll ever meet

and words of advice are given II
