Brooklyn has many fine bridge
players, a fact that was lemon
strated last year when the sum-
mer session of the national cham
pionships tournament was held at
the Hotel St. George in that city.
There will be a big turnout from
Brooklyn this year when the sum
mer nationals return to the Hotel
St. George August 2 to 10.
Robert Chatkin. who runs the
Kenmore Bridge Club in Brooklyn,
gave me today's hand, which
came up in a rubber bridge game
at the club. He thought South JUS
titled in opening the bidding with
one heart, but that his free bid OF
three diamonds over two spades
was a little optimistic.
North had an original bid him
self, and from South's bidding he
thought that his partner held not
only an original bid but some ad-
ditional strength. Therefore North
jumped to five clubs.
When the Ter of spades held
the opening lead, East continued
with the nine-spot which Chatkln
(West) overlook with the jack.
Now should he lead the third
spade and give declarer a chance
to ruff it in dummy, OF should ne
lead a trump? Chatkin was quite
sure that North held six clubs for
his free jump bid to five clubs.
That meant that East had no
clubs. He also was quite sure that
East held only three spades orlgl-
nally. as otherwise he would nave
led his fourth best spade rather
than the top. Declarer was bound
to lead one of the top trumps TO
see how the suit broke.
Therefore, unless he could kill
one of dummy's trumps, Chask1n
would not make a trump trick.
Having reasoned thus, Chatkln
continued with the third spade,
forcing dummy to ruff.
Of course declarer could have
led the ten of clubs from the
board and let it ride when Chat
kin refused to cover, but that did
not look like the logical play. He
led the small club and went up
with the ace, and then of course
he had to lose a club trick.
If Chatkin had led a trump, de-
p1arar uuc1,I1 have won and
East would have shown out. Then
North could have gone over 10
dummy, led the ten Of cluos and
! finessed Chatkin out Of 4 club
trick.

WHEN THE AIRPLANE CAME
OF AGE

When World War I broke out in
1914, the airplane was still some
thing quite new and wonderful.
Little had been done to put it to
practical use.
All that was changed almost
overnight. In the beginning of
World War 1, planes were used
as scouts and observers. Soon,
however, they began to be equip
ped with machine guns. At first
the guns could fire only sideways
and backward, but not forward.
The Dutchman, Anthony Fokker, a
great airplane designer, cleverly
geared the machine gun to the
motor so that shots might be fired
through the propeller blades.
From that time on, the airplane
played a vital part in the war.

as 30 states can underbid us in
the matter of taxes.
Early in this century we entic-
ed new industries into this state
with the bait of Cheap Anglo
Saxon labor" That inducement
can no longer be used, for the day
of cheap labor is gone forever.
Labor that is worth having is no
longer cheap anywhere: .conse-
quently we must abandon that ap-
proach and offer to industry some
other basis on which it can ex-
pect a profitable enterprise. That
basis should be a relief from a
tax structure that penalties incen-
tive and investment.
The State will be the gamer
through larger revenues derived
from a lower ate on a broader
base, and the people will benefit
through greater prosperity and a
higher standard Of living.

There we're swift little fighting
planes. larger and slower observa-
ton planes, and still larger heavy
bombers.
The production of airplanes
scared. New models were con
stantly developed; and ever these
soon became old-fashioned. Pro-
gress was unbelievably rapid in
the four years that the war lasted.
Shortly after the war, in June,
1919, Captain John Alcock and
Lieutenant Arthur Brown made the
first flight across the Atlantic
without a stop, flying from New
foundland to Ireland in Is hours,
IL minutes. Before World War l,
a flight of a hundred miles was
an outstanding event and a trans
atlantic flight would have seemed
to most people a fantastic dream.

CONVENTION SEEN AS PUBLIC SERVICE

The city's appropriation Of $500 to help
defray expenses Of the American Legion
state convention 10 be held next summer
at Carolina Beach is a good investment
from every angle. If anything, it is too
small, considering the benefits Whining
ion and the resort area will gain from the
session.
Ii is estimated that some twenty thou
sand persons will assemble for the event.
The estimate may prove conservative. In
any event the assemblage will be larger
than this region has witnessed in many
a long year.
II is incumbent upon the communities
involved, and this means all our coastal
resorts as we'll as Carolina Beach and
Wilmington, TO see that the visitors are
we'll entertained, we'll housed, we'll fed
comfortable in every way throughout their
stay-so that they will return TO their
homes firm friends Of the region, deter
mined 10 spend their vacations hereabouts
in the future.
To achieve this goal, the city admins
tration could not do better than increase
its appropriation if its present gift proves
inadequate. and the people generally open
their doors 10 the guests.
This latter is the more important be-
cause Of the limited hotel accommoda-
lions and the inability Of public eating
places 10 feed such a throng. Rooms are
needed and, where possible, board TOO.
The Legion convention is TO be viewed
as a major opportunity 10 render a public
service. We cannot afford to let it pass
unmet in all details.
Because it is a public service il must
not be considered an occasion for pocket
ing unwarrented profits. There should be
a voluntary agreement that prices will not
be advanced, as is so often done when
conventions meet in any city or resort.
The gains will come later when the same
thousands attending the convention return
as v%acationists and the cost of living has
dropped TO a reasonable level.

Religion
DayByDay
AS TO RADIO
BY WILLIAM T. ELLIS

Many persons will agree that the
best gadget in a radio is the but
ton hat turns it off. Milady and
l use the radio chiefly for news.
We sample enough other programs
to taste their flavor. We find our.
selves in agreement that the level
of radios forthgiving is steadily de
clining.
This is perhaps best revealed by
the reactions Of the studio audi
ences. The things at which they
laugh and applaud betray a moron
ic mind. They seem especially
alert to detect an off-color signifi-
canoe in the humor. The announc-
ers or masters of ceremony are
often definitely i~lliterate; and Their
pronunciation of foreign names is
weird.
Of course there are many good
things on the radio, but the run Of
mine is poor, and definitely getting
poorer Does this mean that public
taste is steady deteriorating? Have
we here a symbol of the publlci
diminishing concern owe the va"
political and economic and splrltu-
al questions which confront our
world?
The situation is n ina!
a definite interest in religion would
cure. For with religion goes re-

Nelson Disapproves
Plan for Permanent
Traffic Judge Here

Judge George D. Nelson of MI

yesterday of a proposal to assign
judge permanently to traffic cases.
Completing a two-month term as

Judge Nelson commented:
While uniformity of Judgment

be too apt to grow stale at the job
and could not handle alone all the
traffic cases which 60 to jury trial"

The Commissioners Traffic Advi-

favor of permanent traffic judge.
The plan also has been indorsed by
Traffic Director George E. Keneipp

AS he ended his term as traffic
Judge, Judge Nelson released Stats

fore him paid fines averaging $500.
They paid total of s10,629 in l,l95
cases during the period. Judge Neil

violators were women.
The problem in traffic safety all
along has been oneof education" he
said. These figures all could be re-
duced substantially if motorists
would take more heed of simple
rules for driving conduct"
- Drivers Not Always to Blame.
!. Not all of the blame, however, can
be laid to drivers, he added, saying:
: There is much the city should
do toward solving the problem, such
as doing away with many of the
