CONTRACT BRIDGE at the M PLAY IT

BY W. E. M’KENNEY S?trtlar American Rrldit Uam* A N important poir.t in the play of the hand is "Watch your entries." Conserve entries in either hand, so that if one plan of play fails, you will be in position to try another. For example, in the following hand, if the declarer were not careful in watching his entries, he would not be able to execute the coup play necessary to pick up East’s ten spot.

The Bidding Whet to bid with South’s hand often presents a problem to the beginner. Shall he pre-empt when holding a long suit and no defensive strength? Generally that is a good play, but when you pre-empt you should make it high enough in order to shut out your opponents, and when your long suit is a minor, sometimes a four-bid will not obtain the desired result. Then again pre-emptive bids should be used sparingly—sometimes the only one who is confronted with a problem is the partner. Suppose that South starts with a bid of four clubs. North, with his four quick tricks, can not be asked to pass, especially with a singleton club. He knows that South undoubtedly is afraid of both majors. The most descriptive bid with North’s hand would be a response j of four no trump, showing all of the other suits well protected. South would bid five clubs, announcing that he was afraid to play the hand at no trump and that the clubs were solid. Os course North is a little afraid of the heart suit, but he is justified in going to six clubs. The Flay West opens a spade. The dummy would win with the ace and then lead a club, and naturally the finesse should not be taken. West would show out, discarding a spade. South then should cash his ace and king of clubs, discarding a spade and a heart from dummy. Now he must try for a coup play on East, so his next play should be the five of hearts, going right up with the king in dummy. East would win with the ace and his best return is a spade, which North would win with the king. Now a heart is returned and trumped by South. His next play is a diamond, which is won in dummy with the jack. South must be careful not to lead his king of diamonds, as he needs that to get into dummy. Another heart, and again South trumps. The nine of diamonds is won in dummy with the queen. Declarer cashes his ace of diamonds from dummy and then Plays either the spade or a heart, which East is forced to ruff. South can overtrump and then win the last trick. Os course, a slam can be made at no trump if West would open a spade. A heart opening, however, would hold the contract to four odd at no trump. START NEW RATES ON SECOND-CLASS MAIL Boost for Letters Due to Be Effective Wednesday. New postal rates, which will go into effect Wednesday on first class matter, became effective Friday on second class matter, largely composed of newspapers and other periodicals. The new second class rates, applying only to the advertising portions of publications, range from 2 to 10 cents a pound, compared to the old rates of IV- to 7 cents.

JAPANESE SNUB LEAGUE GROUP IN MANCHURIA Treatment of Commission Borders on Insulting in New State. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Srrlpox-Howard Foreign Editor WASHINGTON, July 2.—The rebuff given the League of Nations’ ; commission of inquiry in Manchuria bordered dangerously on insult, a report from a Mukden observer received by the writer revealed today. Manchukuo officials openly made ; the amazing insinuation that the j commission, charged with getting at j the bottom of the Chinese-Japanese | war, was siding with the "rebels” j and encouraging revolt against the j Japanese-inspired state. The situation already had been j given a decidedly unpleasant turn I before the commission arrived, thanks to Manchukuo’s stupid but determined opposition to Dr. Wellington Koo, China’s assessor, accompanying the party. But when Earl Lytton, head of the mission, asked to be allowed to talk with General Ma Chan-Shan, leader of a pro-Chinese faction, a storm broke about his head. Ma Interview Banned Earl Lytton, representing Britain; General Frank McCoy, American member; General Claudel of France, Count Aldrovani of Italy and Dr. Schnee, Germany’s delegate, were given to understand they were not to try to see or get in touch with I Ma in any way, shape or form, not even through a third party. “It should be plain to any ra- I tional mind,” Foreign Minister | Hsieh Chieh-shih of the Manchu j state, publicily stated, “that a meet- j ing with Ma would encourage rebels and abet treason.” He strongly intimated that the commission’s stand "cast ridicule on Manchukuo, ignored its existence, and could not be complied with under any circumstances.” Some members of the commission, he went on to suggest, appeared determined to remain in Harbin until they saw Ma, whether ■ it affected the stand of the “rebels” j or not. If that was so, he warned, | with something that almost sounded like a threat, “the Manchukuo government would be compelled to consider some course of action to meet the occasion.” Wild Rumors Spread Harbin is notoriously the wildest rumor center in all Asia, if not in the world. And while the commission was there, the city simply outdid itself. It was rumored that the commission intended to meet Ma at a small place north of Harbin, and that Ma palnned to seize upon the occasion to rally wavering troops to his side. Another report was that Ma planned a big battle in the very presence of the commission, to convice it that the country was not united behind the Japanese-con-trolled regime. Dr. Wellington Koo, the rumormongers said, was behind these "plots.” Accordingly, his every move was watched, day and night. Spies reported even on alleged conversations they said took place in his rooms at the hotel. Taken in Good Humor While seriously handicapped by the attitude of the authorities, Earl Lytton and his party accepted the hamstringing with patience and good humor. Before they left, however, it became necessary to issue j a formal statement to clear the air j of misunderstandings. "We came,” the statement said in effect, “at the behest of the League ; of Nations, to investigate the true j state of affairs in this country. To do so. we naturally felt we should talk with all sides, General Ma among others. "In view of the position taken by the Manchukuo authorities, however, we will not press the matter. We had expected some difficulty in carrying out our wishes at Harbin, but we certainly never looked for our intentions to be misunderstood.” The commission arrived in Tokio the first of July for a second visit, coming from Pieping. It expects to begin drafting the long-awaited report to the league in August. YOUNG BANDIT GETS sls Holds Up Gas Attendant, Had Two Companions in Car.

CHURCH URGES JUG INSURANCE Disciples of Christ Board Backs Relief Moves. People must be considered before profits in any Christian social order, and in America unemployment insurance and old age pensions ai among the means recommended to bring this protection to the masses, resolutions adopted by the board of temperance and social welfare of the Disciples of Christ set out. The resolutions were passed at a meeting of the board Friday afternoon at the Columbia Club. Retention of the prohibition laws and active participation of the United States in the League of Nations also was urged. Commentng on the current unemployment, the resolutons continue : "America stands today in a world economic situation in which millions of human beings, through no fault of their own, lack sufficient food and shelter for the maintenance of a minimum standard of physical health and efficiency. "The tragedy of this condition lies in the fact that it falls most heavily on the childhood of the world. "Undernourished childhood never can hope fully to recover mentally, physically or spiritually from the stunting effects of a long period of undernourishment. Later advantages never can atone fully for the handicaps under which the race of life is begun.” The Rev. E. L. Day, Martinsville, is president of the board.

Bald Eagle, Emblem of America, Lazy, Thieving

The bald eagle, unfortunately chosen as America’s emblem, gets his food by preying on those who honestly make their living. He is reproduced here from Audubon’s famous Birds of America, clutching a catfish robbed from some hard-working fish hawk.

Audubon in Agreement With Benjamin Franklin in His Disapproval of Bird. By Science Service WASHINGTON, July 2.—America’s emblem, the bald or whiteheaded eagle, that has screamed its proud way through five long generations of Independence day orations, was looked upon with vast disapproval by one of the very fathers of the republic, no less a man than Benjamin Franklin himself. Franklin was one of the most scientifically minded and best-in-formed men of his time, and he had j more first-hand knowledge of the ■ bald eagle and its ways than did most of his fellow statesmen, who overrode his views and selected the bird as symbolical of American ideals. Franklin’s low opinion of the bald eagle was shared by America’s first great student of birds, John James Audubon, born ten years before Franklin died. In his classic work on American birds, magnificently illustrated with his own paintings and published a hundred years ago, Audubon quoted with approval Franklin’s condemnation. And as if to give further point to his opinion and Franklin’s, he painted the bald eagle with its talons clutching not the noble beast of the field v/hich it had overcome, but nothing more thrilling than a huge dead catfish! The quotation made by Audubon from Franklin is introduced as follows: "In concluding this account of the whiteheaded eagle, suffer me, kind reader, to say how much I grieve that it should have been selected as the emblem of my country. The opinion of our great Franklin on this subject, as it perfecty coincides with my own, I shall here present to you. “ ‘For my part,’ he says, in one of his letters, ‘I wish the bald eagle A GOOD BUSINESS SCHOOL Strong business.

had not been chosen as the representative of our country. He is a bird of bad moral character; he does not get his living honestly; you may have seen him perched on some dead tree, where, too lazy to fish for himself, he watches the labor of the fishing hawk. “ ‘And when that diligent bird at length has taken a fish, and is bearing it to his nest for the support of his mate and young ones, the bald eagle pursues him and takes it from him. With all this injustice, he never is in good case, but, like those among men who live by sharping and robbing, he is generally poor, and often very lousy.’ ” TRICKS CLUB MANAGER, THIEF GETS $314 LOOT Robber Gels Office Head Out of Way With Phone Call. A robber, by telephone appointment, obtained SBO in cash and checks for $234 Friday night from the office “of the Hoosier Athletic Club, 902 North Meridian street. John W. Fehrenbach, manager of the club, said a man telephoned him to search the gymnasium for a lost purse. Fehrenbach made the search, but found nothing. The man called again, instructing the manager to look under a radiator, which Fehrenback did. A woman member left in charge of the office while Fehenbach made the first search said a man entered the office, remaining only a few minutes. No one was left in charge when the manager made the second search.
