 Hand No. 3 from Dr. Paul Stern of London, England, is an interest ing one from team of-four match played at the Jacob Enrich Society. At Dr. Stern's table the bidding went as shown in the box.
 At the other table the bidding was the same except that East did not go to three diamonds. Dr. Stern $ teammates played the North-South cards at three clubs and lost only two diamonds and two trumps.
 At Dr. Stern'S table North made the mistake of opening the king of clubs. Dummy's ace won, and de- ciding to play South for all of the strength, Dr. Stern led a small heart.
 South won with the kind and re- turned the pack of clubs, which declarer ruffed. He cashed the ace and queen Of diamonds and lee another small heart from dummy South had to play the ace and came back with the jack of hearts. Dr Stern won that with the queen ano again put South in the lead witt the nine of diamonds.
 Now South had to give declarel a spade trick. Thus he made three. odd in diamonds while his team. mates made three-odd in clubs.
 
 In team-of four matches, two members of a team play the North. South cards of the hand and at the other table their teammates play the East West cards of the same hand. To determine the winners o1 the match, the scores of both pairs must be taken into consideration In this match Dr. Stern's team wor by 320 points, as each side made 100 points plus 30 points for ( partial score.

LEGION CONVENTION

LEGION CONVENTION
 San FranciS-Arrived here for the American Legion Convention, the first full convention since Pearl Harbor. The vets of World War 2 have brought a lot of new ideas to the Legion meet. In fact, hadn't been in town two hours before l was hit on the head with a plastic bag full of water.
 I said to one policeman who was highly disturbed that he should remember the boys were just Ships that pass in the night. He said he didn't mind the ships, but when they put the locomotives in the Mark Hopkins lobby it was just too much.
 Mayor Lapham welcomed the boys from the City Hall steps, and it would have been quite an affair if someone only had known where the steps were at the moment.
 Yes sir, San Francisco is in for a big week and if the seisnograph starts swaying at Georgetown University, ignore it; it's just the Missouri and Iowa delegations set- tling the Wallace question the hard way.

POLL

Suspense" opened it's local en- gagement at the Poli theater last night. Though it features elabor- ate and especially beautiful ice skating nunibers-performed by the inconparable Belita the tense dra- ma of it's plot overShadowS it's more spectacular aspects.
 And Belita is only one of the stars of this unusual production, since equal prominence is given to Barry Sullivan, Bonita Granville, Albert Dekker and Eugene Palette.
 In the story, Belita is the star performer at great ice palace owned by her husband, Dekker. Sul- livan, a dowu-and-outer with a questionable past, drifts into Los Angeles and secures menial job with the show, achieving quick ad- vancement when he proves to be a man with showunan-like ideas. He soon forces his way into the affec- tions of Belita; and her husband, discovering the situation, plots re- venge. In the Snow-bound moun- tains where Sullivan has followed UAk SOtAkI1S, OAHS JSa1Ouo AplboOoaASl hides on a mountainside and shoots at the intruder below, only to start crashing snowslide in which he himself is engulfed.
 On the same program will also be shown Joe Palooka, Champ starring Joe Kirkwood. He's hand soner than the comic strip charac- ter, but is perfect as the innocent smalltowu boy, unacquainted with big city ways, who punches his way to a championship under the man. agership of Leon Errol, who por- trays Knobby Walsh of the funny sheet. Errol fits the part like a glove, and gives swell performance as the somewhat quick-tempered but honest manager who loses his fighter, Lou Nova, to gangsters headed by that arch-villain, Eduar- do Ciannelh. Elyse Knox matches the beauty of Anne Howe in the comic strip, as the society girl who falls in love with the country boy.

In addition, the 53-year-old own

WE, THE WOMEN
Attract Respectful Attention, Girls

across a university campus. I saw
a young girl wearing a get-up that
might have been dreamed up by
a surrealist painter. This was it:
sky-blue corduroy shorts (knee
length, a heavy wool shirt of bold
orange, black, and white plaid
uhe shirt-tails hanging almost to
the cuff of the shorts>, and knee.
length, bright red wool sox.
Three men students grinned at
the outfit after its wearer passed.
one shook his head sadly and said
to the others, She'll never get a
date in that get-up."
The same day another COED
dressed in a softly : feminine
knowlagly-fitted wool dress and
hlgh-heefed shoes walked out of a
campus eating-place. A man stu
dent glanced up appreciatively as
she passed, watched her out OF
slght and then said to his COM
panions who were concentrating
On their food: boy, you just
missed something"
Both girls managed to attract
attentlon-but the first one didn't
realize that the kind of attention
She was attracting would never
get her anywhere.
If the University of Washington
men students who lecture the
trehsmen girls can make them see
such distinctions, the lectures will
be worth more than anything a
dozen college deans could tell
them.
