Look at Mr.. Dale's hand in
today's deal. He had practically
nothing. Yet more than 500
points hung in the balance de-
pending on the first round of
bidding.
Mrs. Keen opened the bidding
with a diamond and Mr.. Meek,
vulnerable against non-vulner-
able opponents, didn't think he
had enough to enter the auction.
Now. if Mr.. Dale had been
strictly a book player. he would
have passed. Certainly a pass
here could not be severely
criticized. But he didn't even
consider the action. AS he saw
it. there were two possible bids
one heart and two diamonds.
A one-heart bid could hardly
get him into serious trouble.
There was even the possibility
that game could be made in
hearts. But it was very remote.
Mrs. Keen would have to have |
almost an opening two bid or a
phenomenal fit in hearts.
There is also the fact that |
when a player opens the bidding |
with a diamond, the suit he is
likely to be shortest in is hearts. |
Mr.. Dale thought further. |
Owing to his own weakness,
there was a pretty fair chance |
that the opponents held half or |
more than half of the high-card |
strength and they might have
an ice-cold game. Where was
that game most likely to be? In
spades, of course.
While the one-heart response
would probably do no harm, it
wouldn't do any good either.
Mr.. Dale chose the best bid on
the hand-two diamonds. This
was bid which could do some
good for his side. It could shut |
cut one-spade over-call by Mr.. |
Abel.
1t did just that. Mr.. Abel |
would have bid over a pass by |
Mr.. Dale and it is quite probable
that he would have bid one spade
over a one-heart bid on his right. |
But to come in at the two range, |
vulnerable, especially after his |
partner had passed, was too
tough.
Mrs. Keen made exactly two
diamonds and. as you see, the |
North-South hands are cold for |
four spades.

S. Will you accept my statement
that these gentlemen took away
from my employees items which
my employees, working under my
direction, had unearthed; kept
these items for two full weeks
without any advice to me that
they had them, and finally deliv-
cred them to me struggling to
create the impression that these
findings were the product of their
activities. Will you then tell me
whether you truly believe these
gentlemen made any search what
soever for so doing?

possibility?

there twas no evidence to indicate
a theft?

8. The locks have never been
found after a most diligent search
by my employees. They were
made Of a much harder material
than the desks of which they were
PARTS. Do you hold with your in
vestigators that the locks melted
when the desks did not, or will
you concede that there is ample
evidence to indicate a thief?

you that law and order no longer

is complete failure Of law-enforce-

stating that Criticisms hurled by
Jackson about unso1ved crimes &

IL. If so do you consider this the
proper attitude for a Governor, or
do you realize that it is the atti-

who will shrug off and shirk his
clear responsibilities with any glib
and stupid alibi, or by any bit Of
specious reasoning? !

Of this whole situation which are
exceedingly interesting, and your

Economist SpeaksAt Club Luncheon

The United States economic
strength. on all scores. has in
creased at a very heartening
rate. despite the defense pro-
gram, Leon H. Keyserling said
yesterday.
The former chairman of the
Presidents Council of Economic
Advisors and now d consulting
economist and attorney, made
the statement at a luncheon
meeting of the Woman's Nation
al Democratic Club.
The speaker said that without
war economy and without the
use of direct controls, this coun-
try has the resources. technology
and science, the business brains
and labor skills and the growing
population to lift the annual
rate of our national production
from the current level or about
$375 billion to close to $500 bill
lion by 1860. 1855
IF we succeed fairly well in
this effort" he continued. "our
economy can grow much stronger
year by year, even If the re-
quirements Of national security
should lead us to increased de-
Tense outlays by the highest
amounts proposed by any re-
sponsible experts"

We are future home buyers
and while looking at loads Of
open houses we have seen
something we like a lot but
would like the opinion of those
who own some. This "some-
thing" is the high. close-to-
the-ceiling windows in the
bedrooms. They are narrow
but extend across most of the
wall. We like this idea be-
cause of the complete privacy
plus the fact that you have
all the wall space underneath
the windows to use as you
wish. We were wondering,
though, about the summer. Do
you get enough air and breeze.
If there Is one, or are the
rooms hot. Just any informa-
ton for or against this type
of windows viii be greatly ap-
preciated. Since we are leav-

Baked Virqinio Ham

Here's a new trick to baking a
real sugar cured Virginia ham
and it turns out such wonderful
results we want to pass it along
to you.
Soak a ham-about a r.
pounder-in cold water for So
hours, then brush it we'll to re-
move all mold, dirt; etc.
Put it to cook in a kettleful of
fresh cold water. with 2 pounds
of brown sugar and 6 green
apples, sliced. Let it boil for 8
hours, and then cool in the water
in which it was cooked.
When it is cold, remove from
the water. trim off skin and eX-
cess fat. Remove the hip bone.
Make a liquid paste of brown
sugar, prepared mustard and a
little sherry. This should be
"runny" enough to pour over the
top of the ham. Then put the
ham in a medium oven. and
roast it for p an hour. basting
often. You can serve the ham
hot or cold-and you will find
the flavor as unusual as it is de-
liciouS.

security purposes. there has been
far more left over than in mid

but also for an enormous ex-

The mold disappears immedi-

replaces all musty odor. In
our closet, I found our maps,
books, shoes, bags and the
closet itself were growing mold
and with a spray mist of anti
mildew compound, all the
fungi vanished. bought my
