When the dummy was spread,
West could count eight tricks

the first trick, but won the Sec
ond when South discarded. He
then cashed his three top spades
and three top clubs, North dis
carding two hearts.
Now West made the play
which Is simple but often over
looked by less expert players.
His only chance to make the
contract was to find North with
the heart king. Playing upon
this assumed distribution, West
led diamond. North cashed
three more diamonds, but now
he had only two cards left. He
laid down a small heart, dunn
my's queen won and the ace
made the last trick.

Even little introspection re-
veals that if strong, one-direc-
tional drive takes possession OF
our lives, it is associated with
faith in something or someone.
Faith is an inner act of conf
dence and self-committal that
naturally draws one together
around its object. If "Mr. Fac
ing both-Ways' ever becomes
Mr.. Facing -one-way, faith in
some person. cause, idea. or pos
sibility, believed in as worth
while and surrendered TO as
worth serving, has inevitably
played a part in bringing the
blurred life 10 focus.
Unlicensed people, however,
who want this experience, are
commonly baffled in attaining
it. Surely, a man cannot honest
ly and intelligently will to have
faith. How, they ask, does one
get faith if one does not have It?
1t is of first-rate Importance,
therefore, to see that faith is
not something we get, but some
thing we have. 1t is inherent in
our psychological constitution
just as truly as affection is, and
is sure to be used one way or
another. Far from lacking faith.
man has a surplus of it, assocla-
ted with more curious and di-
verse objects than tongue can
democracy, in astrology or rab-
bits feet, in endless policies con-

or self-indulgence as the way 10
happiness, in God or in Mater

market. THE capacity Of mod
ern man to believe" said Mus
solini, lis unbelievable" That
we have more faith than we
know what TO do with is shown
by the way we give it TO every
odd and end that comes along.
A man can no more run away
from his faith-faculty than he
can run away from his own legs;
they are what he does his run
ming away with. II a man says
he will have no faith, then the
policy OF no-faith is what he has
faith in.
When, therefore, an exhorter
urges us to have faith, he mis-
takes the state of the case. We
have faith already; we never
have existed an hour without
exercising it. Just as we have
a love-life, we have faith-fac-
ulty; our need is to learn how
TO handle it. OF all mad faiths
the maddest is the faith that we
can get rid Of faith.
To be sure, man may lose
faith in his wife, in the POSSIBLE
ity of achieving peaceful world
organization, in any specific re-
ligious doctrine, or in God, but

Discovering movie stars is
Ivan Kahn's business. He's one
of the best known talent scouts
in Hollywood. But he hates to
be hailed as a celluloid Column

says, Il just bring unknoWns to

There are too many other peo-
pie along the line, like dramatic
coaches, agents and theater
managers, who deserve credit,

for talent.

doWed him for five days with a
canary who, the man insisted,

ing him in Hollywood. At foot
ball game in Houston, Tex, Ivan
heard someone singing in the
roofing section. He immediate
ly wanted to send the owner of
the voice to- Hollywood. The
voice turned out to be Bing
Crosby's coming over the radio
held in the lap of coed.
Ivan once picked up an In
dian who Wah hitch-hiking. Be-
fore they had gone a quarter of
a mile, he asked the Indian if he
had any theatrical experience.
If it was just beauty that
If it was just beauty Holly
wood was looking for, Ivan

that Hollywood wants. It's that

recognize. l can't explain it 1t
is combination of character
and personality and lot of 9TH
er things. The face doesn't mean
a thing. Makeup men and hair
dressers can fix that. It's what
is inside that counts"
STAR IN THE AUDIENCE
Ivan's latest discovery is a
young lady named Jeanne Grain.

and, sitting behind him, was
Jeanne. Il missed the third act

girl behind me. It's the first time

Before turning talent scout
for 10th Century-Fox, Ivan
Kahn was a Hollywood agent
noted for his ability to find tai
ented newcomers. Among them
were Gilbert Roland, Alice
White, Ann Sothern, Lew Ayres.
One of his clients was girl
who had sister. Every time
Ivan came TO their house the Sis
tier would run and hide. He
thought the sister had film pos
sibilities, too, and finally per-
suaded her into making the
rounds of the studio with him.
Five studios were not inter-
ested. The sixth gave her a
contract.
Ivan later framed a thank

IN WASHINGTON .

entail.
Governor Dewey SHES away
q from any attempt to get him to
discuss the Willkie situations 1t
should be noted, however, that
he does so without prejudice,
leaving the door open for Mr..
Willkie to do this year what Mr..
Dewey did in 1910.
. Then, it will be recalled,
Dewey appeared to have the
nomination pretty well sewed
up. At the last minute an al
most evangelical wave swept
Willkie into the candidacy and
left Dewey gasping on the
shore.
Among politicians and news
papermen it was no secret that
Dewey was burned to a crisp.
For few days he sizzled, off
the record except for one be-
trayal of confidence. Then he
Gained down and went to work
for the man who had done him
out of the nomination.
DEWEY LENT
WILLKIE ADVISERS
When Mr.. Wilkes early
campaign threatened to explode
from lack of management, like
a tanker of aviation gasoline hit
by a torpedo, Mr.. Dewey gave
leave of absence toA his person
al publicity man, Lemoyne
Jones, to help out. He lent the
services Of his personal adviser
on government finance, Elliott
V. Bell, now his superintendent
of banks.
He took to the stump for the
Willkie ticket, making two
speeches near New York City
and two midwestern trips in the
course of which he spoke in
Saginaw, Pittsburgh, Peoria.
Caldwell, Idaho, Kansas City
and Cleveland.
The grounds for personal Bit
terness between the two men
were no less than they are now;
the bases Of their philosophical
disagreement probably were
greater inasmuch as Mr.. Will
kie was a foremost intervention
ist while Mr.. Dewey at that
time leaned against interven-
ton.
Therefore Republicans, in
Guiding many of Mr.. WILKES
more ardent adherents in 1910
and up to the time he stepped
out of this years race, wonder
what formula can be found for
bringing the two men together
now, for the good of the party
and, as they see it, for the good
of the country.
DEMOCRATS WANT THE
BREACH WIDENED
Democrats and other Roose-
welt supporters hope that the
present breach can be kept open
or even widened. They would
like to see Willkie bolt back
to his old party or take an os-
tentatious walk for the duration
of the campaign.
RealiSts doubt that this will
occur. Conceding that Mr.. Will
kie is utterly sincere and would
subordinate personal advantage
to principles, they insist that he
would lose every possibility of
putting across his beliefs if he
were either TO bolt or to walk.
They point, as evidence, to the
innocuous desuetude in which
AL Smith and John w. Davis
now stagnate politically.
The difficulty appears to be
in finding a way to establish the
first contact without embarrass-
