—Dietz on Science— ALUMINUM MAY SYMBOLIZE NEW ERA IN BUILDING Engineers Predict Metal Has Vast Field in Construction. BY DAVID DIETZ *rrippi !lfiiArd Vfl*nr# Fdttor Two all-aluminum railroad cars ar* amoniz the mos* interesting and mod important exhibits In the Hall of transportation at the Chicago Century of Progress world fair One is a combination of roach, parlor and observation car facilities. The other is a combination of sleeper parlor and observation car. Roth are gleaming, inviting works of art. On the day I visited the Hall of Transportation, thermometers were registering a temperature of 100 on the sidewalks of Chicago, and the air-cooled in'eriors of these two cars were the most comfortable spots on the fairground The bodies and trucks of these two cars, with the exception of the springs, axles and wheels, are made entirely of aluminum. This is the first time that this has been accomplished. although aluminum car bodies were fabricated two years ago. Aid for Railroads To many engineers, these aluminum resent the direction in Wlhch the railroads must go to recover their business. In other words, | they must make travel by rail so attractive and inviting that tourists i will prefer it to their own automo- i biles. But in addition, many engineers I see more than railroad recovery in those two cars. To them, they are! the symbol of the new age, the Age of Aluminum Many engineers believe that we now are entering upon anew structural era of aluminum. They believe that just as the last few decades have been distinguished by 1 the use of steel and its alloys, so the coming decades will be marked by an increased use of aluminum j and its alloys. These alloys, of course, get their I value from the fact that they com- I bine the lightness of aluminum with great tensile strength. Once Precious Metal At the beginning of the century.' far-sighted students of science predicted that the day was coming when railroad cars would be built of aluminum But at that, time no one was ready to do it. Many railroads are beginning to turn their attention to the subject of aluminum rolling stock. It is interesting to trace the historv of aluminum When first discovered by chemists, it was so difficult to separate the pure metal from its ores that it ranked almost as a precious metal. A century ago Wohler, the great German chemist, devised a method by which the metal could be isolated at a cost of $l6O a pound Charlps M Hall in IRB6 then a 21-year-old student at Oberlm college. solved the problem of obtaining aluminum on a commercial scale. He devised the electrolytic method of separating the metal from its ores. SHELVE MILK DISCOUNT Large Purchases Provision Is Cut From Indianapolis Code. Dtscount for large purchases by retail dealers was eliminated from the Indianapolis milk code at a meeting of producers and distributors at the Columbia Club Monday night. This was recommended when the code was submitted to Washington recently. TT was agreed to discont'nue “extra ' grade milk and substitute "premium" grade, giving the milk shed committee power to determine quality and price Lieutenant-Governor M. Clifford Townsend presided at the meeting. INCOME BLANKS READY Jackson Prepares to Seek Data From State Employers. Collector Clarence Jackson of the state Income and sales tax department, today announced that he is preparing blanks to send to all employers in the state in December. Employers, he pointed out. will be asked to report all employes earning more than $666 67 from May 1 to Dec. 31. 1933. Down Went Her High Blood Pressure Fat Women Often Have High Blood Pressure.

What's a world's fair without a row over daring dancing? In 93 it was Little Egypt. In ’33 It's the Fan Dance. Sally Rand, above, who danced with no attire but two fans, roused the envy of other world's fair dancers by getting arrested. But the Chicago judge, told all the lurid details, merely said, "Well, what of it? The human form is a beautiful thing" Contract Bridge BY W. E. M’KIXNEY Secretary American Bridie learnt TJROBABLY sound logic and deli- -*■ cate Inference are the skillful player's most valuable attribute while the bidding is in progress. However, once the dummy goes down, the faculties of resourcefulness. ingenuity and daring come into play. The possibilities of hand distribution are so innumerable that the game never loses its freshness and variety. Every session of play produces at least one hand which must he treated a little differently than any which have preceded It. Today's hand came up recently in a rublier game, and the South plaver was able to make his contract by a play which, though simple. was both ingenious and daring. ♦ K-Q-10-5-2 V 7-3 ♦ 8-2 AA-7-4-2 *9-7-6 N° rth | 4 J . 84 .'

West, passed, and North bid one spade, a one over onp force. East passed, and South bid three diamonds. This was a mast significant bid and conveyed a wealth of information to the bidder's partner. It showed that both hearts and diamonds were at least five-card suits, that South had an unusually strong hand, and that he desired to play for a slam, provided North could support one of his suits, and had slightly more than minimum overcalling strength. mm* T lOWEVER. North realized that the hands did not match well in any suit and had no desire to reach a slam. His next bid was three spades, showing a fairly strong five-card suit, and allowing South to choose whether the hand should be played at three no trump or at one or the suits already mentioned. South now inferred that North was short in both red suits and therefore must have sufficient length in clubs to give some protection in that suit. South elected to bid three no trump, and his choice proved to be a wise one for that was the only game contract which could be made against good defense. West opened with the ten of clubs which was ducked in dummy, and East won with the queen. The latter returned another club and declarer allowed West to hold the trick with the king. At this point. West fell Into a well-laid trap by leading a third round of clubs, although a shift would have enabled him to defeat the contract. • The third club led served the declarer splendidly in two respects. P.rst, it gave him a much needed entry in the dummy and second, it enabled him to discard the ace of .-paries and thereby make two spade tricks with the dummy's king and queen. The situation still was desperate, but if the declarer should have the good fortune to find both the ace of diamonds and the jack of spades in the East hand, the contract could be made. Accordingly, he cashed dummy’s two spades, discarding two hearts from his own hand, and then led a diamond from dummy, hoping for the best. East passed the first diamond, but was compelled to win the second and he could then do nothing but lav down the jack of spades and concede the remaining tricks The declarer therefore took one club, two spades, two hearts and four diamonds to fulfill his three no trump contract.
