NEW THRILLS AWAIT BRAVE AT M PARKS Latest in Heart Thumpers Devised to Frighten Poor Customers. By United Press CHICAGO, Dec. 4—The amusement park owners of the nation got together here Wednesday night to figure out new ways to torture the "customers. They succeeded nobly. The ordinary roller coaster, they decided, wasn't quite efficient pnough in making hearts Jump into ‘throats. and young woman’s arms clutch about young men’s necks. So they devised a contraption known as the “flying turns,” a model of which now is on display in the Stevens hotel, where the twelfth annual meeting of the National Association of Amusement Parks is in session. Just a Few Tricks The “flying turns” consists of a long spiral sheet upon which run cars with rubber wheels. The cars start at the top, whirl faster and faster around the banked turns as gravity pulls them down, until .finally they are roaring around in circles, horizontally, at an apparent speed of 100 miles an hour. The customers have to be strapped In good and tight else they would sail through space, head first, also at an apparent speed of 100 miles an hour. That “apparent speed” business, itself, is another little trick of the . roller - coaster-merry-go-round-hot-.buttered-pop-corn magnates. The little cars really travel only -50 miles an hour, but the wily operators make the cars small as possible, the wheels tiny as practical and the scenery alongside as near as possible without endangering the frightened passengers. You Must Loop the Loop The resultant optical illusion thus makes the customers gasp at what seems to be a 100-mile an hour velocity. Another pleasant little device is 8 stationary airplane. It consists of a seat on a universal swivel, an assortment of levers and an airplane propeller. The seeker after thrills gets himself belted into the seat, the propeller shoots a blast of air which blows off his hat and rumples his hair. Aghast, the client clutches a lever and his seat, turns over, leaving him dangling head down and gurgling in fright. The levers are supposed to be exact replicas of those in an airplane.

POP CORN BY RADIO AT SCIENTISTS’ PARLEY Transportation of Light by Liquid Air Also Demonstrated. By United Press NEW YORK. Dec. 4.—The latest achievements of practical scienceincluding the popping of corn by radio and the transportation of light in liquid air—were demonstrate* today by two scientists of the General Electric Company. The Merchants’ Association of New York witnessed the performance given by L. A. Hawkins and E. L. Manning at a luncheon. Unpopped corn in a transparent bag was passed between two Jars containing ice cubes floating in a salt solution. The salt made the water a conductor between the high-frequency generating equipment. The popcorn began to give off steam and soon was popping. Hawkins and Manning brought with them a piece of fluroescent screen material which had been subjected to a cathode ray bombardment. The material was contained in a vacuum bottle filled with liquid air. The screen was removed from the bottle at the luncheon and soon the temperature of the room heated it and it began to glow, first yellow, then purple and through the range of colors.

Eastern Experts Match Bridge Skill Over Radio

Milton c. works second radio bridge game of the season, broadcast Tuesday from station WFBM, brought together as exhibition players Mrs. Wistar Morris Chubb. South, Orange, N. J.; Mrs. John Munce Jr., Alexandria, Va.; Christian A. Herter, Boston, and Sidney S. Lenz of New York. Lenz, as Dealer, South, opened the auction with one heart on; Spades, 8,6, 5; hearts, K, Q, J, 10, 6; diamonds, K, J, 9,7; clubs, Q. Mrs. Chubb, West, said one spade on: Spades. K, J, 9. 4,3: hearts, A, 8,7, 4; diamonds, A. Q, 10; clubs A. Her spade bid was much sounder than a double would have been, as South had bid hearts and her own strength was predominantly in Spades. Mrs. Munce, North, went to two hearts on: Spades, A, Q; hearts. 9,5, 3,2; diamonds, none; clubs. K. J, 10. 8,5, 4, 2. She had wonderful assistance for her partner's heart bid. four trumps, the ace-queen doubleton of the suit bid on her right, so it was probable that no tricks would be lost in that suit; a blank diamond suit, presumably assuring that no tricks would be lost in that suit; and a long strong club suit. Herter, East, passed. His hand was practically worthless, containing only: Spades, 10, 7,2; hearts, none; diamonds, 8,6, 5,4, 3,2; clubs 9, 7. 6,3. Being blank in the adverse heart suit was not sufficient reason for raising his partner, who had made only a following bid. On the second round of bidding, Lenz, South, passed; Mrs. Chubb, West, bid two spades. Four cards of the adversaries’ suit being a feature of her strong hand, she was prepared to bid until she got the contract. at spades or could double hearts safely. Mrs. Munce. North, went to three hearts, still refraining from bidding her clubs until she had told her partner how extremely strong her hand was for the heart bid. - - Mr. Herter. East, was tempted *at this point to give a raise to his partner who had shown such Spade strength, but he inferred from the

0. S. WOMAN HELD FOR PLOT AGAINST ITALY Poet D'Annunzio Expected to Intervene in Behalf of Mrs. De Bosis. By United Press ROME, Dec. 4.—Gabriel D’Annunzio, Italy's most famous living poet,- was expected today to intervene in behalf of Mrs. Adolfo De Bosis. American woman under arrest - here on charges of complicity in an alleged plot against the Fascist government. Mrs. Dc Bosis i$ the widow of a famous Italian poet and a close friend of D’Annunzio. She formerly was Lillian Vernon of Syracuse. St. Louis, Mo„ and Boston, and has a sister living in Syracuse. N. Y. D’Annunzio was notified of her plight and was expected to write to Premier Mussolini in her behalf from his home. The fact that Mrs. Dc Bosis was remanded for examination by the special tribunal for the defense of the state may complicate efforts of D'Annunzio to help her. She was held in connection with the publication of an anti-Fascist pamphlet. Mrs. De Bosis and two men arrested with her confessed to the charges against them, but were not expected to receive heavy sentences, bcause they conducted their activities peacefully and without efforts at violence. Mrs. De Bosis has been ill for several years, was confined in a prison infirmary until Wednesday night, when she was taken to a private clinic. Her arrest, and that of her conspirators, was the result of a roundup of three different groups charged with plotting against the Fascist regime.

HOUSE WETS FORM LINES FOR BATTLE

Ready to Fire Opening Shots Friday: Arrange Mode of Action. BY THOMAS L. STOKES United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.—Wets in the house were organized today to carry on them anti-prohibition fight at every opportunity during the present session of congress, with the first general skirmish on the floor scheduled for Friday. At that time, the so-called “wet bloc” will rally behind its leader, Representative Charles Lintchicum (Dem., Md.), for an amendment to the pending treasury-postoffice appropriation bill to prevent the use of poison in denaturing industrial alcohol. This is the first step in the program drafted at a meeting of the bloc's executive committee Wednesday night. The others are: ,1. A request for a hearing by ihe judiciary committee on a bill to legalize beer. 2. A fight on the $2,000,000 appropriation proposed by Amos W. W. Woodcock, United- States prohibition director, for 500 more dr? agents, which will be brought before the house later in the justice department supply bill. 2. A renewed drive for members on the basis of Linthicum’s an-

vigorous North and South bidding that his partner had not many hearts for him to ruff. He was wrong in this natural inference, but right in passing. # a lENZ, South, passed; Mrs. Chubb, . West, went to three spades, hoping to get a free double of four hearts: Mrs. Munce, North, said four clubs; Herter, East, -passed. Lenz, South, went to four hearts, as his partner fully expected he would; Mrs. Chubb, West, doubled; and all passed. Mrs. Chubb. West, opened the play by leading four of spades, not expecting to take any spade tricks, in view of her partner's ominous silence, but because to lead any other suit would have been worse. Mrs. Munce, North, spread her hand for Dummy, and Lenz played from it the queen of spades. Herter, East, played the deuce, and Lenz, South, the five. At trick two Lenz led Dummy's deuce of clubs, to establish that suit in Dummy, since Dummy lacked enough trumps to enable him to ruff ail the losing cards he held in the closed hand. East played the trey. Declarer the queen, and Mrs. Chubb, West, was forced to win with the acc. Mrs. Chubb then led the trey of spades, as she realized she must use every possible means to take entry cards from Dummy, to keep Declarer from running the clubs. Dummy won with the ace of spades, East played the 7; Declarer the 6. Declarer next led Dummy’s king of clubs; East played the 6; Declarer discarded the 8 of spades; Mrs. Chubb ruffed with the 4 of hearts. Mrs. Chubb was then in trouble for a lead. She dared not lead diamonds aw r ay from her double tenace with no diamonds in Dummy. She was practically certain from the bidding that Declarer held the king, while her own bidding must ’ have shown him that she held.the] ace. She knew that if she led the j

The ten members of the wet bloc's executive committee, which included one woman, Mrs. Mary T. Norton (Dem., N.. J.), came from their meeting in jubilant spirits and full of enthusiasm for their general offensive. Linthicum claims sixty-one members now in the group, and claimed they would have 218, a majority, in the seventy-third congress elected in 1932. The committee claims that with a majority in the house they can stop all appropriations for enforcement, thus letting enforcement die from lack of funds and practically nullifying the eighteenth amendment and the Volstead act.

queen or 10 of diamonds Lenz would win the trick in- his own hand, discarding from Dummy; w r hereas if she • led the ace ,;she would simply surrender command of the suit and give Dummy a ruff. There was a chance that Lenz had the 10 of spades and if so. a spade lead w ! ould force Dummy’s hand. All Mrs. Chubb needed to -set the contract was one more ruff, as she already was sure of three tricks—the two she already had won and the ace of hearts. tt tt tt Therefore, to trick five, Mrs. Chubb led the king .of spades. Ordinarily, a declarer takes a ruff in Dummy and a discard in closed hand Whenever possible, but in this case it was more important for Lenz to keep trumps in Dummy; so he discarded from Dummy the'4 of clubs. x East played the 10 of spades and declarer ruffed with the 10 of hearts, keeping his 6 spot as an entry to Dummy. Declarer then led the king of hearts, West played the 7, Dummy the deuce. East the deuce of diamonds. Lenz continued with tbe queen of hearts. West won with the ace. Dummy played the trey and East the trey of diamonds. Mrs. Chubb was helpless; no lead she could make could prevent declarer from going game and contract. She led the 10 of diamonds, which Lenz won with Dummy’s 5 of hearts. Then leading Dummy’s 9 of hearts and underplaying with the 6 from his own hand, he drew the last adverse trump, and all of his clubs were good, giving him sixty-four trick points, 50 for making a double contract, and 80 honors for his four honors in one hand. At progressive or duplicate, there would be an additional 125 points for making game in one deal. tt a , tt COMMENTING on the play, Work .picked but as the high point ■)f the hand Lenz's lead of the club from Dummy ad discard of a spade from his at trick four.

GOODRICH WINS VERDICT Former Governor Favored in Suit in Federal Court. Verdict in favor of James P.

Baltzell holding that no evidence of Goodrich’s partnership with Lorenzo H. Wright and John Hayes in a road building project in West Virginia, was shown.

Had he led a heart or discarded a diamond, his contract would have failed. With the inevitable spade lead to the next trick, Dummy would have been obliged to ruff, and, weakened to three trumps, further forcing would have prevented Dummy’s running of clubs. At contract, the bidding would have been: South, one heart; West, | two spades; North, four hearts; | West, after two intervening passes, j double. North would be justified in j the jump to four, because, with a ! spade bid on her right, the acequeen of spades can be counted as | two assisting tricks or raisers. The four hearts coupled with a 1 blank suit make one more raiser, the blank suit is valued as two more, and the king-jack-10 of clubs as another; a total of six, whereas only five raisers are required to jump partner from one to four. tt m a Questions 3 and 4 in work’s Handicap Bridge Test were based on these hands: South—SPADES, Q. 10. 9. 7; HEARTS, K, J, 5; DIAMONDS, A, I Q. 9. 6; CLUBS, A. 9. North—SPADES, A. J. 8. 5; HEARTS, 9. 8; DIAMONDS, K, J, 10; CLUBS, K. J, 10, 2. South is the Declarer and the contract at auction is one no trump, at contract, three no trumps. To the first trick West leads tire 6 of Hearts, Dummy plays the 8. East the 10, and South wins with the jack. The questions are: 3. Which suit should South lead to trick 2 and in which hand should that trick be won? 4. Which card should be led to trick 3. and which card should be played from the other of Declarer’s hands on it, supposing the intervening adversary plays small? Work will give the correct answers to these questions, during his sixth radio game, and teil you how to rate yourself a a bridge player by the number of correct solution you achieve. M
