—Dietz on Science — 'GOLDEN AGE' OF INVENTIONS LAYS IN FUTURE Progress of World ‘Just Begun,’ Is View of Sociologist. BY DAVID DIETZ Sr rinps llow ard Sclent* Editor Is the Golden Age of Inventions behind the world or ahead of it? Will civilization ever see the development of deviees as startling and far-reaehing in their effect upon humanity as the automobile and the telephone? There are two schools of thought upon the subject. One believes that the early years of the twentieth century will never be duplicated. The other is more optimistic. Dr. William F. Ogburn. famous sociologist of the University of Chicago, and director of research for the committee which drew up the report on "Recent Social Trends” during the Hoover regime, aligns himself with the optimists. He expressed his views in an address before the Cleveland chapter of the American Statistical Association. “There are likely to be just as many important new inventions in the future as there have been in the past,” he said. Predicts Talking Books "Inventions continue to increase in numbers and there is no reason to believe they will not be as important.” Among the inventions which Dr. Ogburn looks for in the. near future are practical television, air conditioning for homes, and "talking book.'” The talking book device is now in the experimental stage. It consists of a spool of magnetized wire upon which a record of a book is made. The spoken words impress themselves upon the wire as changes in magnetization. When the wire is run through a suitable machine connected to radio amplifiers and a loudspeaker, the book is repeated. Depend on Vacuum Tube This means that a recorded book would take up no more room upon a library shelf than a written book does now. The magnetized wire also could be used to record entire symphonic programs of several hours' duration. Both the talking book and television depend upon applications of the electron tube or vacuum tube. Dr. Ogburn regards the electron tube as one of the most important inventions of the day. He says that some authorities regard it as the most important invention of the twentieth century to date. It is my opinion that Professor Ogburn is entirely justified in Ins optimism. The electron tube has attained tremendous uses in industry at a time when the scientific world has only the sketchiest sort of knowledge of what the electron really is.

COOTMCT eridge BY W. E. M’KENNEY Srrretarv American Bridge League WITH how weak a hand do you keep an original bid open in the constructive one over one system of bidding? The answer most people will give to this question is, "With about a king and a queen or even two queens.” Neither of those is entirely | correct. There are two weak responses to an original bid, the weakest of which is the response of one no | trump. The other is giving partner an opportunity to re-bid, because j you hold normal support in his suit, i When holding normal support in j partner’s suit, the rule as to whether \ or not you shall keep the bidding j open is simply this—you must ha* e two ways for partner to get into your hand. Four trump and a singleton with ! a side queen would be sufficient. So | would four trump and a doubleton with a side king. If you hold less, pass your partner’s bid. a tt tt IF your partner opens with a suit bid and you do not have normal support, the only time that ypu i | should respond with a bid of dne J : no trump is when your hand would , : be of some use to your partner if i j he held from five to five and one- j ; half quick tricks. In other words, if your hand is ' trickless, and your no trump re- j ! sponse would be of no advantage to partner, you should pass. If you hold a singleton in the | suit, your partner has bid and you ; believe that by bidding one no trump your partner may bid anj other suit, or that the hand would play better at no trump due to I your distribution (which might be 4-4-4-1) then you may bid one no trump even though your hand does not contain two entries. However, don't blindly bid one no | trump or two of your partner's suit j merely to keep the bidding open. I believe that the best explanaj tion of these responses is given in a remark made by Mr. P. H. iHal) Sims at his recent teachers’ convention when he said, "What possi- | ble good can it do me to make this bid?” And I advise my readers to repeat this question to themselves each time before making a doubtful bid.

Persistent Pecora ‘Gets Goods’ on Morgan

By United Prrti WASHINGTON, May 25. Weeks of thorough preparation and study lie back of the questions which Ferdinand Pecora, $255 a month Scilian-born lawyer, fires at J. P. Morgan and his partners for hours on end. As counsel for the senate banking committee in its investigation of the House of Morgan, Pecora dug deep into the Morgan records before the hearings began here Monday. He and his staff were busy for

weeks in New York and Washington. analyzing Morgan records and tax returns and rounding up other evidence. When Morgan & Cos. sought to withhold some of its documents, the senate backed him up and passed a special resolution proadening his powers. Armed with this information in advance, most of Pecora's questions are aimed at getting Morgan and his partners to testify to facts which he already has established to his own satisfaction. Some of the questions are written out in advance, together with

the answers he expects. Until he gets those answers, Pecora keeps hammering away with question after question. But he puts the questions courteously, almost as if he were engaging a friend in casual conversation. Pecora is an old hand at the investigating business and he likes it. As assistant district attorney in New YorK City from 1918 to 1930 he directed several notable inquiries against bucket shop operators, grafters and other violators of the law.

He came to New York from Sicily with his parents when he was 5 years old. After graduation from public schools and attending college for a year on a scnolarship, he had to give up his studies to help his father support six younger children. Working in a law office, he earned enough money to put him through New York law school. He began practice in 1909. at the age of 27.
