One of my own little pet theo-
ries is, when in doubt lead a
spade. This sounds silly, but it
is surprising how often a spade
is the correct lead on a hand.
I want to call your attention to
the bidding of today's hand,
which occurred in the national
pair championship.
North started the bidding with
a heart, and it was unlikely that
he held four spades. South elect
ed to bid two no trump, and
having passed originally, this bid
generally would indicate that he
did not have four spades but
was pretty well fortified in the
minor suits. Now what suit dc
you think West should open?
Of course the general rule is
to lead the fourth best of your
longest and strongest suit. But
if West leads a diamond, declar,
er will cash a diamond, five
hearts and four clubs, making
four no trump. When I saw this
hand played, West reasoned that
in all probability neither North
nor South held four spades, and
therefore his partner probably
did have four spades.
He decided to attack the
spade suit first, but he led the
six, not the deuce. He was try
ing to tell East to lead the high
er Of the two obvious suits, II
this case clubs and diamonds
East won the first trick with The
ten of spades and led a diamond
This put West in again with the
queen of diamonds, anothel
spade was led, and as a result
East was able to cash the res
of his spades. Thus East ant
West took four spades and two
diamonds. setting the contrac
two tricks, while North ane
South would have made ter
tricks if West had led the fourth
best diamond.

New Movies
Still Showing
Short Skirts
BY RUTH

A news story out of Hollywood
says a couple of fashion design
ers are in Dutch with their STU
dio executives because they let
themselves be quoted as favor
ing the new long-skirt style.
1t seems that the movie mo-
guls have at least 80 new movies
ready for release in which the
heroines are still wearing short
skirts.
So Hollywood doesn't want
Mrs. America to accept the
long-skirt style SO completely
that she will turn up her nose
at the clothes worn in these
movies. "
In the past, Mama has been
a Hollywood slave. She would
&c to a movie, whose femia
nine stars wore clothes designed
by Irene or Adrian, and come
home deeply dissatisfied. e
"That's the kind of suit I'd
Like to have" she would say
wistfully to Papa, as Lana Turn
er Or Betty Cradle came pranc-
ing out on the screen. q.
It's going to be a great day
for Papa when he takes Mama
to the movies and she sneers
at the outmoded clothes her fav-
orite heroines are wearing. Her
81 wouldn't be caught dead In
that will sound like music to
his ears.
The movie makers didn't
worry about poor Papa when
they were busily making Ma
mas wardrobe look dull. Now
he's Just going to relax and en-
joy the sight of Hollywood love
lies in their outdated short
skirts.

PHOENIX, Jan. gu. S. Senator
Ernest w. Mcfarland has requested
membership on the U. S. Senate
Public Lands and Interstate and
Foreign Commerce Committees, it
was disclosed this week.
The senator's request was in line
with the congressional reorganiza-
tion act limiting members to berths
on two committees. Mcfarland an
nounced his first choice is public
lands, because of it's Importance to
Arizona's future.
.'This committee will handle irri-
cation and reclamation and also
mining legislation" he said. "In
addition, it will handle matters re-
lating to public lands generally,
grazing lands, Indian affairs, forest

more than 3700 of these having now
been received. Delivery of 5000 new
refrigerator cars for Pacific Fruit
Express Company, of which South

made in 1947.
More recently, Southern Pacific
placed orders for 20 heavy duty

engines of this type, already one of
the largest in the country.
Delivery of the company's Shasta

stated. A pair of de luxe extra fare
streamliners, as yet unnamed, for

Outlook For

Southern Pacific Company ham
died it's greatest peacetime volume of
freight in 1946, but, except for fed
eral tax credit carry-over, it would
have suffered financial loss for
the year, President A. T. Mercier
said in year-end comment on the
railroads operations.
This situation was brought about,
he explained, by large wage increas-
es; heavy taxes, other than federal
income tax; and skyrocketing prices
of railroad supplies, without an ac-
