them to administer last rites.
On the floor, in a pool of
blood and water, lay Robles, who
had sworn he would never be
taken alive. Blood oozed from a
ragged chest wound. A rough
tourniquet had been tied around
his left arm, pierced by another
bullet.
Robles was barefoot and clad
only in trousers and an under
shirt. A woman's slipper and
children's toys were on the floor
beside him. A bright-eyed doll
perched on a chest above.
Forced Out Occupants.
Robles had taken over the
apartment at gunpoint Friday
night. forcing out two women,
two men and two small children.
The women were his cousins.
Fearing for their lives, the oc-
cupants failed to go to the police.
However. police were tipped to
the hideaway early yesterday
afternoon. Swarms of police
were deployed on nearby roof
tops, in neighboring buildings,
doorways. cellars and fire es-
capes.
When all was ready, three
policemen went to Robles' door
and showed it open. There was
a blast of shots from inside and
two policemen were wounded.
The battle was on.
Police repea tedly called:

Admittedly this proved moth
ing at all. And please do not
quote me as recommending bad
bidding over good. Sound bidding
and play will win for you most
of the time. But not all of the
time.
It was Mr.. Champions open
ing lead and he chose the king Of
diamonds, which was permitted
to win.
The jack Of diamonds came
next and Miss Brash won with
dummy's ace. She couldn't af-
ford to duck a second time as the
defenders might shift to the
spade suit. which also was
stopped just once.
Now Miss Brash had already
planned her campaign-even be-
fore she played to the flrst trick.
One thing was certain-she was
not going to take the club finesse.
She knew that she would make
her contract If the opponent who
held the king Of clubs did not
have more than one other card
In that suit.
Notice what would have hap
pened If she had led q club from |
dummy at the third trick and
dnessed the queen. Mr.. Cham |
pioH would have won and imme-
diately fired a spade. Spades
would have been continued until
dummy's ace was knocked out.
The lone ace Of clubs in the
South hand could have blocked
the suit and the hand would have
fallen to pieces.
The same thing would have
happened and this would have
been even more gruesor1ef
Mr.. Champion had held the sim
gleton king Of clubs.
But, Of course. Miss BrashI
handled the situation correctly !
She went right up with the ace
Of clubs on the first lead Of the
suit. Then she led the queen Of
clubs and Mr.. Champion had no
choice but to play the king. In
this manner. the rest Of the club
suit was set UP while there was
still an entry to the board.
Mr.. Champion cashed two
more diamond tricks, but that
was all. Miss Brash won five
club tricks. two hearts and the
aces Of spades and diamonds for
game.

Soybeans Yield
Same, Either Way

Soybeans yield about the same
drilled solid as they do planted in
rows if fields are free of weeds,
according to L. c. Saboe, agrono-
mist at Ohio State University and
the Ohio Agricultural Experiment
Station.
Where weeds ere problem, row
planting and cultivation to control
weeds will usually increase bean
yields. 1t takes about half as much
seed to plant beans in sOws, Saboe
adds.
Row-plant ID beans will show
some reduction in yield where they
do not spread across the rows to
form a solid canopy. The special
ist suggested q to 35-inth rows for
most varieties. A few varieties
like Lincoln, will form canopy in
42-inch rows on fertile soil.
Erect growing varieties are least
satisfactory for row planting. They
do not form a canopy as readily
and do not yield as well planted in
wide rows as they do when drilled
solid.
Soybeans are a legume and rel
quire a neutral soil for best results
regardless of planting method. Sa-
Doe urges farmers to lime fields
according to soil test recommended
tions before planting soybeans.
Beans yield best when planted
in mid-May, however, bean yields
do not decline as rapidly as corn
yields do when planting is delayed.
Soybean varieties recommended
for Ohio this year are Hawkeye,
Lincoln, Harosoy and Monroe.
County extension offices have bull
letin 347, Crop Varieties for
Ohio" for farmers who want more
detailed information on recon-
varieties.

From his study, small business
alone will bear brunt Of tariff
wrecking plans. In cotton textile
industry, employing over 1,250,-
900, 759o of industry is composed
of small firms who do less than
1So of total industry.
u
The Georgian also made this
highly significant statement;
''The American people feel that
the great mass production In
dustries of the United States are
so much more efficient than for
eign industries as to be immune
to foreign competition. Hence we
expect that articles selected for
tariff reduction would include
products of great super-effcient
mass production industries. They
are either not on list at all, or
are relatively minor items"
But he does charge through
list of tariffs to be reduced Wash
ington planners have selected for
destruction many industries
composed of small operators, or
agricultural operators.
1t is interesting that at the
same time Congress Is being
asked to raise by law US. mini
mum wage rate to more than
twice prevailing skilled wage
rate In England.
It is also interesting to note
that one of the first to testify in
support of tariff wrecking was
a cabinet officer who formerly
headed nations biggest manu-
featuring firm which also oper-
ates branches in many of worlds
cheap labor nations. He was
joined by Harold Stassen, whose
experience in world trade has
been confined to giving away

eign Operation Administration.
LIN meantime published figures
show that since 1887, while us.
tariffs have been slashed by $50,
England's have been increased
by 209o. Thus many feel 1t is
