Contract Bridge

BY W. E. M KENNEY Secretary American llridce Learue At the conclusion of the Central New York contract championship tournament at Syracuse, N. Y., we drove to New York to attend the tournament in that city. One evening in New York I had ! the pleasure of sitting down and chatting with Shepard Barclay, for- | mer editor of the Auction Bridge Magazine. Barclay tailed my attention to a play thf t I believe is unusually interesting, and one that my readers should know. It is built around the following combination of cards: Dummy S H A-10-9-7-4-2 I) C Declarer S II K-3 D C Supposing that you had no other entry in dummy but' the ace of hearts. How would you play that suit to get the most tricks? As Barclay pointed out to me, the average player would lay down the king and then the small heart, hoping that the queen and jack would fail together. If they did, that is the only time when you would win on that particular play. The proper way to play it Is to lead the small card—the three spot in this case—and finesse the ten spot. If the right-hand opponent holds queen x x or jack x x, you can just bet your last dollar that he is not going to refuse to win that trick.

Film Openings on Friday Will Be Very Important

The Barrymores, Richard Dix, Wheeler and Woolsey and

Alison Skipworth Will Be the Headline Offerings. RASPUTIN and the Empress.” probably the most discussed picture of the year, is opening Friday at Loew's Palace for an exclusive Indianapolis engagement. John, Ethel and Lionel Barrymore are starred in the three principal roles of the production, appearing together for the first time on the screen during their respective careers. “Rasputin and the Empress” is based on an original story by Charles Mac Arthur, well-known for his work on "The Front Page,” “Lulu Belle” and other stage and screen dramas. The picture was directed by Richard Boleslavsky, author, war hero, and for several years a director in the Moscow Art Theater. •

John Barrymore has the part of Prince Chegodieff, intimate friend of the Czar and Czarina. Ethel plays the Czarina, while Lionel, last seen in “Grand Hotel” and "The Washington Masquerade,” is seen as Rasputin. The role of the Czar is filled by Ralph Morgan, and that of the little Czarevitch by Tad Alexander. Both Morgan and Alexander were recently seen in "Strange Interlude.” Other important roles are played by Diana Wynyard, English stage star, C. Henry Gordon and Edward Arnold. Alexander Toluboff, Russian architect, assisted in planning and designing the court and cathedral backgrounds for the picture. an a NEW DIRE MOVIE TO OPEN Richard Dix will be seen in what has been described as a brand new characterization, when his new starring vehicle, “The Great Jasper,” opens at the Apollo Friday for one week's engagement. The new role is reputed to present the star as a gay, irresponsible and utterly irresistible lover who becomes known as the great Jasper, due to his amorous affairs. Dix, it is thought, has been just about every sort of rugged hero and adventurer in his long screen career but this is the first time that all his “adventures” have been of the opposite sex. Jasper, according to the story, could no more help winking at women than he could help breathing. Having once seen that wicked wink, no woman could help falling, and, to Jasper’s amazing credit, no woman is thought to have regretted. . No woman except his wife. Though he could not be faithful to her, neither could he stop loving her—and therein lies the drama of "The Great Jasper.” Wera Engles, RKO-Radio’s recent importation from Germany, makes her American picture debut in this film. Edna May Oliver is seen in the comedy role. Other members of the cast are Florence Eldridge. Betty Furness, Bruce Cabot, and Walter Walker. The new film is an adaptation of the novel by Fulton Oursler. J. Walter Ruben directed. Short subjects include Movietone News and a cartoon entitled. “The Hokum Hotel.” a u o INDIANA TO PRESENT COMEDY The Indiana will have as it’s feature screen attraction for one week, starting Friday, the newest vv,heeler ancl Woolsey picture “So This Is Africa.” U is said to be a madcap story.

The plight of the bootlegger who

His natural play is to win w—j, let us say, the queen. When you have again entered your hand, your proper play is the king, and when the jack falls from your left-hand opponent, go right up with ace in dummy. In other words, making this type of play, you have a fifty fifty chance to win. You will win any time that there are three cards to an honor in the hand of your right-hand opponent, and you will also win any time that the queen and jack are alone. You do not decrease your chances of winning on the play, but you increase them with this particular combination and in making plays that is the thing you want to give most thought—what percentage of chance you have to win. This is a really important play in bridge and I hope that my readers will lay this combination of cards out. Remember that you are to distribute the remaining five cards of the suit by putting two in one hand and three in the other. There are about eight combinations that you will be able to build up in that manner, dealing of course, with just the honor cards. You will find that by playing first the small card, finessing the ten, and then playing the king and overtaking with the ace, you will win four out of the eight times. The remaining times the play would lose whether you played the king and then the small card played the small card and then the king. It is mastering plays like this, and knowing how to handle them w’hen the situation arises, that makes you a successful card player. (Copyright. 1933. by NEA Service. Inc.)

fears he’ll have to join the breadline when prohibition ends is dealt with humorously in the picture. A couple of middle-aged titled Britons, with no money, attempt to get hold of the latter by coming to America and opening a speakeasy. Their difficulties in speakeasy operation are not with the law, but with the bootleggers, who are trying to get rid of their million-dol-lar stock before “Congress muscles in on our racket.” The bootleggers insist that Miss Skipworth take a certain quota at regular intervals, but she will hear nothing of it. A battle—not of guns, but of wits—ensues, and the Englishwoman emerges triumphant over the flabbergasted racketeers. The entire story is done in comedy style, except for the romance between Miss Maritza and Kent Taylor which runs throughout the picture. a a a SANDERS WILL RETURN TO ROOF Two new names appear on the Indiana Roof's schedule. They are Coon Sanders’ ‘Night Hawks,’ with Joe Sanders directing, who will come for a one night engagement, a week from next Sunday, April 2, and the Continental Syncopators who open an engagement Saturday night. With the engagement of the Continentals, Tom Devine of the Roof announces a change in his operating policy. Starting immediately, the Roof will be opened for dancing five nights each week. The Creole cast which furnished entertainment for the Indiana Roof’s floor show during the past three weeks has been held over for the Continental Syncopators engagement here. The entertaining outfit is composed of a singing and dancing chorus, a number of specialty dancers, a blues singer and a comedy team. They will offer a change of program each Friday evening. The floor show is scheduled for 10:45 each night except Saturday, when it is scheduled for 11:30. Dancing on the Roof starts each night at 8:30 and continues until 12:30 P. M. except Saturday when it continues until 1:00 A. M. Coon Sanders engagement here will be the first they have played on the Roof since April, 1930. a a a MERCEDES KNOWS NO BOUNDRIES ON AIR Just as Mercedes at the Circle causes Mile. Stantone seated at a piano to play any selection that a member of the audience commands her to play, the same thing was accomplished last night over the air. Following an interview with Mercedes in the studio at WKBF, Mile. Stantone was commanded over the microphone to play two selections. Mercedes, myself and Mr. and Mrs. Henry Behrens with other witnesses were in the studio at WKBF. Mile. Stantone was at the piano at the Circle before another committee. Mr. Behrens thought of his selection and instantly when he asked Mile. Stantone to play his number, the controls were switched to the Circle and the pianists announced the number correctly and plaved it Mrs. Behrens then asked her to play her selection. The first answer was WTong and then instantly Mile. Stantone played the number desired. And so Mercedes accomplished a demonstration that was new as well as startling. I still am baffled as I do not know how this was accomplished by Mercedes. (By Walter D Hickman), aa a % On view today—" Scandals” at the Indiana.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

CEMENT BIDS AGAIN HELD UP AMOO HIGH Noncollusion Order by State Fails to Break Up Unity. Despite and the new requirements for posting bonds and taking oaths of non-ollusion, bids on 1,400,000 barrels of state highway department cement were about the same again today. The price of $1.20 a barrel formed the base, as n the former bds, which were rejected. As in the former bidding, only one of the seventeen companies offered a lower price (2 to 5 cents a barrel) on 300.000 barrels to be delivered in nine counties in northeastern Indiana. This was the Aetna Portland Cement Company of Detroit. Chairman James Adams of the commission expressed disapproval of the bidding, and predicted curtailment of the state paving program. Previously, he had said that contractors may be called on to furnish their own cement, if the state can not break what appears to be a combine. Last year bids ranged from 68 to 70 cents a barrels. The 1931 price was sl. Today’s bids were taken under advisement and Adams issued the following statement: “Inasmuch as the bids were so much higher this year than last, it naturally, will result in a curtailed road construction program. “The averge base price at the mill was 70 cents or less a barrel. In 1931 it was sl. We had felt that the price this year should not exceed that of 1931.” CAR BORROWER ERRS Returns Without Employer’s Auto After Trip to Town. By United Press PORTLAND, Ore., March 23 Haste makes waste. And likewise does “borrowing” someone else’s automobile. A. Ruby borrowed his employer’s car to make a hurried trip to town. That was okeh. But when Ruby returned, he was riding in a car like the first one—but different, decidedly different. “Where's my car!” the worried employer demanded. Ruby looked. He had “borrowed” an automobile which resembled the employer’s when he left town. A call to the police department straightened everything out.

Every Day Religion BY DR. JOSEPH F. NEWTON

'"T'HE mother of Thomas Carlyle A said that her son was “gee to live with.” His wife, Jane Welch, found out the same fact later. But too much has been made of their jolts and jars. Both were great humorists, and they took as jokes what their friends took seriously. Nevertheless, if there were gales of laughter, at other times there were showers of tears. It was like being married to a volcano. One day Carlyle was glum, mum and mopey; the next he exploded n a torrent of talk—as when he talked to Tennyson half the night on the value of silence. His guest did not get in a word edgewise. Tennyson did not object—he was a moody man himself. Once they sat through a whole evening without saying a word. The wife of Verdi, the composer, offered a fervent prayer: “O God, grant that Verdi shall compose no more operas.” Happily her prayer was not answered; but the tortures and contortions of a man of genius are trying to his wife. Maybe his wife is a little peevish, and there may be something of jealousy in her mood. Work or wife—which? a a a GENIUS is a rare blessing, and we must put up with its moods. The rest of us have the contortions of genius without its inspiration, and there is no excuse for us. We let our dark moods master us. making it difficult for those who have to live with us. We call it temperament —which is mostly a matter of temper, fretful or sullen or sour. Half a glass of water, it is said, if vaporized, will make a bank of fog six feet high and three inches thick. Just so a petty irritation or the hang-over from an ugly dream can cloud our spirits and mar the beauty of a day. if we let it do so. No wonder Stevenson prayed God to call him from sleep with “a morning face,” lighted up with joy. Being “nice to live with,” as a woman put it the other day, is one of the best things that can be said of any one. It is a sure index of what we are. Any one can put on a mask for an occasion, but to be ill to live with, day in and day out, shows how much alloy there is in us, which needs to be cleared away for our own joy and the joy of others.

Explorers Fail to Pierce Atmosphere of Two Planets. BY DAVID DIETZ Scrlpps-Howard Science Editor VENUS, twin sister of the earth, planet of beauty and mystery, beckons to us. Let us leave the arid and scorched-up rocky plateaus of the planet Mercury. Wednesday we brought our rocket ship to rest upon Mercury, smallest of all of the planets and closest to the sun. We had a marvelous opportunity to study the sun for it appeared three times as large in the black sky of Mercury as it does from the earth. But the rocky surface of Mercury, baking in the sun's direct rays, is as hot as the top of a red-hot stove. It is too uncomfortable for us to stay long. Propelled by Blasts Our rocket ship is propelled by the recoil of escaping blasts of gas. If you ever have shot a gun, you will recall how it kicked against your shoulder at the instant the shell exploded. The expanding gases, released by the explosion of the powder not only hurled the bullet out of the muzzle, but also hurled the gun against your shoulder. The kick of the gun illustrates one of the fundamental laws of the universe, known to scientists as “Newton’s third law of motion.” It says: “To every action there is an equal and contrary reaction.” We start the motors of the rocket ship. Actually they are pumps or compressors whose function is to push out at high pressure.the blasts of gas. We release a series of blasts through the elevator tubes. Asa result the nose of our rocket ship lifts up and our ship stands balanced upon its tail, making an angle of 45 degrees with the ground. Rudders of No Use Next, we push the lever which releases the blasts from the large tubes at the back of the ship. At once w r e start moving off into space. These large tubes, the propeller tubes, look somewhat like the big guns of a battleship. Like the guns of a battleship they can be swung from left to right, pointed up or down. That is what makes it possible to steer the rocket ship. Rudders are of no use in empty space. We change the direction of our ship by altering the angle at which the propeller blasts are released. Once above the mountains of Mercury, we alter the course of our rocket ship and turn our backs upon the sun. Now we can remove the heavy violet-tinted glass shades from the windows of the control room. We needed them yesterday when we were flying directly toward the intensely bright sun. Today, with the sun behind us, we can enjoy the full beauty of the starry sky. Look Back on Earth At intervals among the stars we note brighter objects. They are the planets. Our attention is arrested by what seems to be a double planet, like a small planet circling about a larger one. After a moment, the surprising fact comes home to us. We are looking at our own earth and moon. We realize that this is the way the earth-moon system must look from any of the other planets. Perhaps, if there are inhabitants on any of these other planets, they call our earth-moon system “the double planet.” Brightest of all the plants is Venus. It shines the brightest like- I wise when the heavens are viewed j from earth. Its brightness gives Venus its beauty, but its brightness springs from its mystery. Venus appears so bright in the sky because it is surrounded with heavy, dense clouds. Telescopes on earth never have been able to penetrate this blanket of white. Occasionally, the telescope reveals a little dark spot. Hover Over Venus Astronomers believe that is caused by the clouds hanging low' for the moment, permitting a mountain summit to poke through. We are approaching Venus with a speed of 10,000.000 miles an hour, and as a result, the planet rapidly grows larger and larger. It grows brighter, too, but no less mysterious. It looks like some great sphere of milky glass, or like a translucent pearl of gigantic size. Soon we are hovering directly above the planet’s atmosphere. Below us are the white and ghostly cloud banks, drifting and swirling. Now and then, as they pan a tiny bit, we catch the outline of a snowcovered mountain top. We turn our most powerful battery of searchlights upon the clouds, but they do not help us at all. The particles of fog catch the rays of

light and scatter them in a thousand directions. . We see nothing but a dazzle of white light. What does the surface of Venus hold? Savants have pondered that question for more than a centry. Plunge Into Fog .* Recent tests with delicate instruments have revealed the presence of water vapor, oxygen and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere of Venus. Are there living beings upon the surface of Venus? And, if so, what are they like? What sort of civilization have they developed living under this perpetual canopy of cloud? They can not know astronomy, because they never see sun or stars. ’ Perhaps there have been rare intervals at w’hich the clouds parted and revealed the sun. If so, these incidents must be recorded in their history as miracles, perhaps as visitations of gods. We point the nose of our rocket ship downward and plunge into the sea of fog and cloud. But almost immediately we regret our rash decision. Upon entering the atmosphere of Venus, we of course slowed down to a speed comparable to that of an airplane. At once we find ourselves buffeted about by the terrific winds of the planet’s atmosphere. Avert Striking Peak We dare not increase our speed too much for fear of accident. Suddenly out of the white fog looms a wall of black. We are headed direct for a mountain side. We must act at once to avoid disaster. Quickly we head our rocket ship upward and increasing speed we shoot up, almost perpendicularly, out of the atmosphere of Venus and back into empty space. We realize that we must leave the mystery of the surface of Venus for some future trip. Not until man has devised some ray that will let us see through fog will it be safe to enter the atmosphere of Venus. Until then we must leave unsolved the problem of whether or not there is life upon Venus. Again we survey the starry sky, and this time we direct our course toward a planet which shines with a ruddy light. It is Mars, which the ancient Romans named after their god of war because of its fiery color. As we approach Mars we see why it is ruddy in color. Most of the planet’s surface, about three-fifths of it to be exact, consists of desert of red sand. Poles Snow-Capped Like the earth. Mars has an atmosphere, and here and there we note great clouds of sand rising into the air from the surface of the deserts. We note also that the north and south poles of Mars are capped with white. These caps are snow. Their edges are rimmed with bluish-green, marginal seas caused by the melting of the edges of the caps. . Scattered irregularly over the equatorial region of the planet are bluish-gray areas. These look as though they might be vegetation. Most interesting of all is a network of streaks, crossing both the deserts and the areas of vegetation. These are the famous canals. From our distance we can not tell

whether they are natural formations or. as some astronomers have claimed, the work of beings who live on Mars. Sand Friction Is Met We approach Mars and enter the atmosphere of the plant. Our Intention is to land upon the surface of the planet. But we find our rocket ship travels badly in the atmosphere of Mars. The air is full of sand and the tiny red grains beat angrily upon the sides of our ship. The friction is so great we fear the ship will be destroyed. In addition, the friction is developing a field of static electricity. Inside the ship we feel the electric tension. Miniature streaks of lightning play around the exterior of the ship. We must leave closer inspection oi Mars to another journey. And so we turn back into empty space. But we are not downcast for much remains to be seen in the solar system. Next: Me visit the frozen planets, Jupiter and Saturn. CITY-OWNED UTILITY PLANT PLAN STUDIED Wabash May Produce Electricity and Provide Water for Public. By United Press WABASH, Ind., March 23.—The advisability of erecting a municipal electric and water utility plant will be the object of an observation by the city council of similar municipal plants in other Indiana cities. The council has announced that it is considering construction of a municipal plant. Mayor Homer T. Showalter lias estimated to the council that a plant could be built here for $650 - 000. It could be paid for out of the plant’s earnings over forty-five years. Possibility of building such a plant at Dora, half way between here and Huntington and on the Salamonie river, is being studied It could serve both Wabash and Huntington.

NEW DEAL? IT IS NEW GAME IN WASHINGTON Even Congress Is Content With Changed Rues of Procedure. BY RODNEY DITCHER NT A >prvire Writer Washington, March 23.—The “new deal” is more than that. It’s an entirely new game. The way you play it is merely to deal all tiie cards to Franklin D. Roosevelt. He has changed the faces of the cards in advance and may play them as he likes. The most astonishing thing about this game is that those who have participated in previous games with equal rights—meaning congress—are quite content with the new rules which give them little to do except deal the cards, while; 120.000.000 kibitzers lean forward and demonstrate a strong majority enthusiasm. Not a Dictatorship But the "new deal" is not a dictatorship. What happens is that congress is giving Roosevelt and his cabinet members certain wide powers over certain fie'ds in a national emergency banking, federal economy, and reorganization, agriculture and unemployment relief. No “man on horseback" has appeared to seize power and hold it by force. Roosevelt and the o\ erwhelmingly Democratic congress were elected by an unprecedentedly huge majority of the American voters through an old-fashioned process of popular government. The congress which grants him these enormous powers is directly responsible to the people and has every reason to believe that ; t. is acting in accordance with the wishes of its constituents. Different from Mussolini If it isn't carrying out their desires its members can be booted out of office next year. And meanwhile if congress isn't satisfied with the way Roosevelt carries out its mandates it can revoke them at will. Obviously, that’s a lot different from the regimes imposed by Benito Mussolini and various other European and Latin-American dictators who depend on their armies to hold them in power. Congress is giving up many of the prerogatives which it heretofore jealously has reserved, but the principle of popular, parliamentary government is retained and may even be strengthened in the process. One result may be the rehabilitation of congress in the public esteem. It needed that. May Regain Esteem Partly because of ignorance on the part of the kibitzers and partly because of its inefficiency under the handicaps of its unwieldiness, a lack of leadership, the absence of party control and the customary subservience of its members to local or sectional interests, congress had become more than ever a target for popular contempt. Congress now presents (he picture of a noble and patriotic response to the public need. Hardly any one can quarrel with its parade behind the Roosevelt leadership. Against every Roosevelt measure there is some sort of a minority, usually small. But there is no suppression of the minority beyond the parliamentary restrictions which can always be exerted by a strong legislative majority. Speech still is free in congress. The fact that strong men are still found protesting against strong measures—Borah and La Follette, for instance, on occasion—shouldn’t worry any one unduly.
