Riders to Test Luck of Charm Youthful Enthusiasts Compete Tonight in Tournament. BY BEATRICE BURGAN Society Editor HOW much good luck has a good luck charm? There's a lot of dissension among the youthful riders at the R. H. Brown Stables on this question. Although she admits they don't always work, Letitia Sinclair carries so many gadgets (we have this

upon the authority of Cynthia Test, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Don Test) that they rattle in her pockets. Letitia says she always enters a show ring with a replica of a horse shoe, clipped from a Christmas card, several miniature white horses, a wishbone and

other “doo-dads” purported to bring charm. “And what do you mean by doodads?” we asked. “Oh, just things,” she answered in typical youthful breeziness. Letitia, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. Richardson Sinclair, won the cup in the intermediate class last year, but now has graduated to the senior division. Letitia and Cynthia (who waves aside superstitions attached to good luck pieces) have been riding in the Arlington shows at the Brown stables for several years. a an Jo Ann Rice, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William L. Rice, is to ride in tonight’s tournament, the second of the year. She is to ride Old Gold.

OUTWITS CLEVER DEFENSE

Today’s Contract Problem The contract is three no trumr/, by South. Declarer's first play, after winning the lead trick, is the queen of clubs. A small club is played from dummy.

Solution in next issue. 21 Solution to Previous Contract Problem BY W. E. M’KENNEY Secretary American Bridge League IT is not unusual for a declarer to lose what he thinks is an ironclad contract, due to exceptionally fine defense by his opponents. In such cases declarer, of course, has the benefit of gathering such crumbs of knowledge as he may, from having had this actual experience. However, it is a decided advantage to know that your opponents are extremely clever defense players so that you may take this into consideration in mapping out the line of play that you should pursue. Today’s hand illustrates this very clearly. Against the three no trump contract the opening lead of the jack of hearts was won by declarer in his own hand. He could see three heart tricks and two diamond tricks. If he could succeed in bringing in the spade suit for four tricks, his contract was assured. But with only one re-entry in dummy. this seemed to be a rather difficult thing to do. Having no other recourse, he took the only chance that he had to make his contract. His first play was the queen of spades and, realizing full well that he would be allowed to win this trick, he decided to cover with the king, after West played low. He followed with the jack of spades, discarding a diamond. Again he was permitted to win the trick. At this point declarer decided there must be some reason why the ace was being withheld. The reason must be that the nine of spades must be blank and the. opponent who held the ace wanted to give declarer the opportunity of making the mistake of leading a small spade, allowing the nine to make. Declarer, however, played the 10 of spades and was gratified to ■*e the nine spot drop. This trick . as won with the ace. Now, no matter what West re-

If declarer had underrated his opponents’ ability and had made the mistake of failing to cover tiie queen of spades with the king, or of failing to lead the 10 of spades when West made the very fine play of holding up the ace, he would have been unable to make his contract.

Widow Told of Pitfalls Along Path of Romance

You are invited to comment on the problems published in this column. Have you anything to add from your experience which may be of help to the correspondents? Dear Jane Jordan —I am 30 years old. When I was 22 my husband died, leaving me with no money and a baby boy to support. For the last eight years I have done nothing much but work and care for my child. I .

have had a few dates with young men who were too light-minded and frivolous to mean anything to me. Lately I have met a married man separated from his wife. He says he is still in love With her. but will not go back

to her because he can not condone

her infidelity. He is very lonely. I, too, feel that something is missing from my life. He has made it clear that he has no serious intentions toward me, but that he enjoys my company and likes to take me places. He is the only bright spot in a dull life, except for my child, who goes to bed early, leaving me. the whole evening to get through alone. Can you see any possible harm that could come of my accepting this man’s invitations? LONELY. Answer—Yes. Os course there is nothing wrong per se in your seeing 9, man whose marriage has been broken up, even though it is not legally severed. The danger lies in your own inability to take his visits lightly for the diversion of the moment. Eight lonely years make you particularly vulnerable to the man’s charm. The married man is peculiarly dangerous to the girl without a center for her emotions, because he knows more about women than his unmarried competitor. He has learned from living with one woman what approach most favorably will be received.

Asa rule he is better disciplined and knows which of his masculine reactions to keep hidden* safely in the background. The susceptible girl has little chance to protect her own heart in his practiced hands. Your friend takes it for granted that you knew in the beginning that he could not marry you. From his viewpoint it would be your owi? fault if you became emotionally involved. His conscience would be perfectly clear and he would condemn himself for nothing. Sometimes men remain married DANCE WILL AID JAMESON CAMP Proceeds from the third annual card party to be given by Alpha Gamma Latreian Club in the Columbia Club, March 10, are to be used for benefit of the Jameson Nutrition Camp

Sources of 111 Will Thwart Peace Hope, Farm Bureau Told Italy, Germany, Japan and Russia Listed as ‘Plague Spots’ of World in Speech by Dr. W. P. Dearing, Educator. 11l will in international and local communities is thwarting hope of the nation and world peace and prosperity, according to Dr. W. P. Dearing, Oakland City College president, who spoke before the sixth annual Indiana Farm Bureau social and educational conference today. “There are four plague spots on the earth from which ill will is pouring into blood streams of the world like molten lava from an active volcano: Italy, Germany, Japan and Russia,” he said.

“Back to the local community we go for the hope of the nation and of the world. Diplomats, statesmen, rulers. Presidents, Congressmen and Senators, born and bred in local communities, go out to national and international tasks bearing the stamp of the dominant forces of their community life, whether they be good will or ill will.” Dr. Dearing listed foes of the

Women Fian Civic Study Musical problems, the new WPA theater project, and the proposed Lucretia Mott amendment for equal rights, are to be discussed Tuesday at the morning session of the Council of Women meeting in Ayres auditorium. Speakers are to include Mayor Kern, whose subject is to be “Municipal Affairs;” Dr. Lee Norvelle, Indiana University speech department head, who is to explain the show project, and Mrs. Joseph Stine, member of the legislative committee. Other speakers are to be Mrs. J. H. Armington, extension chairman, who is to give a resume of the Congress of Women, Chicago; Mrs. D. T. Weir, public health committee chairman, and Mrs. Paul J. Hart, welfare committee chairman. Dr. Richard M. Millard, Broadway M. E. Church pastor, is to be the afternoon speaker. His subject is to be “The Road to International Understanding and World Peace.” Luncheon is to be served in the tearoom. Reservations are being taken by Mrs. Homer J. Williamson.

to a woman who has ceased to function as a wife in order to have a fool-proof excuse for avoiding another responsible relationship. A woman’s affections appear to be more easily engaged than a man’s, although, of course, it is not inevitably so. Generally speaking, when a woman succeeds in establishing a satisfactory companionship with a man she longs to make it permanent by marriage. If the man is not free to satisfy her longing for a home and an exclusive partnership, tragedy is invited. Do not forget the element of revenge which is present in the married man who meets his wife’s infidelity with infidelities of his own. Often he unconsciously revenges himself for the hurts he received at the hands of his wife by hurting an innocent third party. The situation as you describe it sounds innocent enough, but it is charged with dynamite for you. Yo& have about as much chance to go through it unscathed as you have to walk through fire without being burned. If your philosophy included the wish “to have, to hold and in time let go,” it would be a different story. But can you honestly hold that you are capable of such detachment? SORORITY WILL MARK FOUNDING Twenty-sixth founders’ day observance is to be held by Phi Omega Pi Sorority Saturday at the Columbia Club. Miss Clara A.

communities as neighborhood narrowness, envy, 'disappointment, greed and prejudice. “These must be uprooted if we are to build a generation of leaders who will be able to eliminate injustice from government, business and social institutions,” he said. Dr. William Lowe Bryan, Indiana University president, who spoke today, cited farm youths as holding an advantage over children reared in cities. City Children Lack Advantages “Hand work is a development of I human intelligence and character,” !he said. “Nature answers people who know what questions to ask. The skilled mechanic and artist are those who know how to meet new conditions. One of the great misfortunes is that city children grow up without a place to play freely, and do not have the advantage of splitting wood as the country children do.” Mrs. W. J. Goodwin, Clark County, won the first place in the publicity contest conducted by the department. . • • The Townsend plan today stood branded by Rabbi F. Marshall Taxay, Terre Haute, as “completely fantastic and utterly impossible.” “The burden of its payment would fall upon the farmer,” he said last night. “It is heartless to take well meaning persons and dupe them with fantastic ideas.” Proposes Adult Study Groups M. K. Derrick, department of Education chairman, presided at the morning session. He proposed the organization of adult study groups for weekly surveys on economic and social problems. Miss Gertrude Coogan, Chicago, autor of “Money Creators,” addressed the farm group today. Other speakers included Miss Mabel McKinsey, Wayne County home demonstaration agent, “Home Projects”; Donald J. Cromer, Future Farmers’ Association president, “Vocational Education and Social and Educational Department,” and L. L. Needier, insurance and organization director, “Our First Essential.” Lewis Taylor, Indiana Farm Bureau president, presided at the closing session this afternoon.

MY DAY By Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt

some terrible crime, brings a little more interest but not enough to galvanize us into action. I suppose this apathy comes partly from the fact that we always feel that these things will happen to the other fellow, but not to us, and as individuals we feel that our action, or inaction, will produce about the same result —nobody in authority will pay any attention to what we think. Until we free ourselves of this inferiority complex, which is nothing more than a comfortable alibi to sidestep responsibility, I do not see much chance of improving conditions either at home or abroad and yet, the most powerful weapon we have at our command today is public opinion. Statesmen quail before it and it could move mountains. I came over from Washington to New York this morning to preside tonight at “America’s Town Meeting of the Aid” on the subject of youth, and so it is fitting that my day should be devoted to youth. Therefore I attended the junior school party at the Todhunter School, where my small granddaughter, Eleanor Dali, had a part in the play. These youngsters are very, interesting as hostesses, and at their party,' which they give once every winter to their parents and friends, they serve tea and seem to forget themselves in their desire to make their guests enjoy the afternoon. As this is the basis for all real hospitality it seems well to include it as part of their education. / (Copyright, 1936. by United Feature Syndicate, Inc.)
