WHIP OF POLAR WAVE BROKEN; LIFEJOLL 75 Suffering Intense in South and East; Mercury to Rise Steadily. Bill United Press CHICAGO, Jan. 4.—Slowly rising temperatures today will end the cold wave which has taken nearly seventy-five lives in the Eastern half of the country in the last four days, the district weather bureau said. Temperatures will reach a maximum of 20 degrees above zero here today, and tomorrow there will be a further rise, the bureau announced. Although snow may fall in some sections, the forecast generally W’as for fair weather. Some relief from the extreme cold was felt yesterday. Few sub-zero readings were reported, although in the Great Lakes district the mercury hovered near the zero mark. Three additional deaths at Cleveland, Ohio; five at Birmingham, Ala., and a number of fatalities in isolated rural communities raised the death list to nearly seventy-five today. Suffering in Southern States, which were not prepared to cope with the severe cold, was reported to be intense. Charitable organizations throughout the country reported the situation caused by the storm as the worst of recent years. The cold wave arrived at a time when unemployment was acute because of holiday slumps, and many organizations said their resources were taxed to alleviate suffering. Railroad service had returned to normal today and vehicle traffic over highways was nearly normal.

NEW YORK LIBRARY TO USE BRIGHTER BINDINGS Fublic F r.crs More Color, Say Officials Buying New “Dresses.” Bn Times Special NEW YORK, Jan. 4.—The thousands of volumes in the circulating branches of the New York Public Library are about to shed their timehonored dull covers and blossom out in bright new bindings. After a year’s experimenting in two branch libraries with gay bindings, library officials have determined that the public prefers its reading matter in bright covers, and have selected some thirty new cover materials to replace the present dull reds, browns, blues and greens which, with continued usage, tend to become drab. The public library here is the first in the country to experiment with and adopt bright colors for book covers.'

Fine Demonstration of Grand Coup Is Given by Experts Playing Bridge Radio
THE millions of bridge players who are following the weekly radio bridge games profited this week by hearing a splendid demonstration of the grand coup. Local players heard this tenth game of this year’s series from Station WFBM, Tuesday night, under auspices of The Times. Milton C. Work had for his partner Mrs. Florence C. Douglass, one of Pittsburgh’s most noted teachers and players; while Wilbur M. Whitehead played with W. S. Firestone of Cleveland, a player and writer of national reputation. Mrs. Douglass was the South player and dealer. She opened the bidding with one Heart on this holding: Spades, 9,3; Hearts, K, J, 10, 7,6, 4; Diamonds, K, J, 3; Clubs, A, 6. Her hand admirably exemplified the possible shading of the normal requirement of two side tricks to warrant the original bid of a suit lacking the Ace or the King-Queen. Firestone, West, bid one Spade. He held: Spades, K, Q, J, 10, 6; Hearts, 9; Diamonds, 9,6, 2; Clubs, 9,7, 5, 2. Notwithstanding his four honors in Spades, his hand did not contain the two quick tricks necessary for an initial bid, but it met the requirements for a following or defensive bid. Work, North, bid two Diamonds. His cards were: Spades, 8,5, 4; Hearts, 8,2; Diamonds, A, Q, 10, 8; Clubs, K, Q, J, 8. As he did not have ; Spades stopped he could not bid No ; Trump; yet, since he had only two small cards of his partner’s suit he was obliged to do so. His Diamond suit, supported by Club strength, furnished the opportunity. Whitehead, East, passed. His holding was: Spades, A, 7,2; Hearts, A, Q, 5,3; Diamonds, 7,5, 4; Clubs, 10, 4,3. With the King of Hearts undoubtedly held by Mrs. Douglass, South, Whitehead's hand fell below the requirements for a first round assist of a defensive bid. # tt a It 4TRS. DOUGLASS went to two IVJL Hearts. Her length and strength in Hearts warranted at least one rebid in that suit in spite of her partner’s denial, especially as her partner’s bid had shown some strength, although less than normal support in Hearts. Firestone passed, as he lacked strength for a rebid. Work passed, as he knew from his partner's rebid that she did not need the support of three Hearts in his hand. Whitehead bid two Spades, to assure his partner of at least average expectancy of support. He made his bid also to encourage the opening of the Spade suit in case his partner held King-Jack in the suit, which he might not open in the absence of an assist. Mrs. Dcuglass bid three Diamonds. Her partner’s denial of Hearts on the first round caused Mrs. Douglass at this point to show her support for his Diamonds. However, she hoped that Work, her partner, might be able on this
■ round to take the bid back to Hearts, j inasmuch as she had shown him her Heart strength by her rebid of that suit. If able to change to Hearts, Work could do so without increasing the contract. Firestone passed. He was relieved to have Whitehead’s two Spade bid over-called, especially! with a Minor suit, because of his own extreme weakness and the fact that Whitehead’s assist was a belated one. Work went to three Hearts. He had only four Diamonds, and although he held but two Hearts, his partner’s rebid had shown him that she did not require normal support in that suit. All passed, and Mrs. Douglass secured the contract at three Hearts. tt u a FIRESTONE opened the King of Spades, the correct lead from a King-Queen suit. Dummy was spread, and Mrs. Douglass played from it the 4of Spades. Whitehead played the encouraging 7, inviting his partner to continue with the suit; Mrs. Douglass played the 3. Firestone continued with the Jack of Spades. His lead of the King showed his partner the Queen, so he led the Jack to give additional information. Dummy played the 5; Whitehead the Ace, to unblock the suit; Mrs. Douglass the 9. Whitehead returned the 2 of Spades; Mrs. Douglass trumped with the 4 of Hearts; Firestone played the 6 of Spades; Dummy the 8 spot. Now that she had the lead, Mrs. Douglass paused a moment to plan her line of play. She noted that her Diamonds and Clubs were solid. She had lost two Spade tricks and must lose the Ace of Trumps. If she lost another trick, she would lose game. This loss would be unavoidable if both Ace and Queen of Hearts were in Firestone’s hand, West. But if East held the Queen, Mrs. Douglass could limit the loss in trumps to one trick. She planned to enter Dummy for a trump lead. But first she led the Ace of Clubs from her own hand, to unblock that suit. Firestone played the 2; Dummy the 8; Whitehead the 3. Mrs. Douglass continued with the 6 of Clubs; Firestone played the 5; Dummy the Jack; Whitehead the 4. Dummy led the 2 of Hearts; Whitehead played the 3. There was no reason for him to play high. Dummy could come through him but twice with trumps, and if Whitehead declined to play either the Ace cr Queen, Declarer might be forced later to lead a trump up to Whitehead’s major tenace, in which case both his Ace and Queen would make, and Declarer’s game would be lost. Mrs. Douglass, after Whitehead played low, finessed her Jack of Hearts; Firestone played the 9. MRS. DOUGLASS then led the 3 of Diamonds to put Dummy in for another trump lead. Firestone [ played the 2; Dummy the 10; White- j head the 4. Dummy then led the 8
of Hearts; Whitehead played the 5; Declarer ducked with the 6, since the 8 spot could be taken only by the outstanding Ace or Queen; Firestone discarded the 6 of Diamonds. Whitehead at this point held the Ace and Queen of trumps alone, and Mrs. Douglass had three trumps to the King. If she retained these three trumps to the end; she would be forced to trump the eleventh trick and must then lead a trump up to Whitehead’s Ace-Queen. To prevent this catastrophe, it was necessary for her to dispose of one of her trumps. Accordingly she led Dummy’s King of Clubs with a view to trumping it, although it was a winner. Whitehead played the 10 of Clubs; Mrs. Douglass trumped with the 7 of Hearts; Firestone played the 7 of Clubs. Mrs. Douglass then led the Jack of Diamonds; Firestone played the 9; Dummy covered with the Queen; Whitehead play 1 the 5. Dummy returned the Queen of Clubs; Whhihead. realizing the futility of trumping, discarded the 7 of Diamonds; Mrs. Douglass discarded the King of Diamonds; Firestone played the 9 of Clubs. a tt DUMMY continued with the Ace of Diamonds; Whitehead, finally forced to trump, played the Queen of Hearts; Mrs. Douglass overtrumped with the King of Hearts; Firestone discarded the 10 of Spades. Os course the final trick went to Whitehead’s Ace of Trumps, but Declarer, by her clever handling of the Grand Coup, made her four-odd and game, scoring 32 for tricks and 30 for simple honors. Every bridge player should know how to engineer the Grand Coup. It can readily be made when a player recognizes the opportunity for it and snares it by getting to the windward of it; that is by arranging to have Dummy in the lead on the eleventh trick.

No Arsenal Gary Refuses to Be GunBuying Paradise for Chicagoans.
Bii United Press GARY, Ind., Jan. 4.—Chicago gangsters and other residents of the Windy City, who desire to tote revolvers for aggression or defense and are unable to purchase the necessary firearms in their home town, can’t come to Gary and expect to buy armament without going through proper legal channels, according to Chief of Police William A. Forbis. Chief Forbis launched an Impromptu “safer Chicago” movement here this week when he placed restrictions on the sale of revolvers in Gary in response to a sudden increase in the number of prospective revolver purchasers here from Chicago during the last few days. Chief Forbis included would-be pistol owners from cities other than Chicago in a general cutdown order to firearm dealers in the city. Gary merchants were ordered not to place pistols on sale to any purchaser unless he was able to show permits issued by the chief and members of the Gary board of public safety.
