It is just’a-little west of the spectacular “gold coast,” and just. a little east of a conglomeration of cheap hotels.and cheap rooming houses, where almost -anything is rather more than likely to happen; and, wedged. in between these two contrasting neighborhoods, Astor street keeps the peace and makes gangsters stay at a respectful dis- tance. . Astor street is perhaps the richest and most exclusive street in Chicago. It is lined by the homes of Chicago's most blue-blooded society folk—the Swifts, the Baurs, the Garbaldis, the H. L. Hanleys, the Offields, and the J. R. Thompsons. Their mansions, although costly, are not. as flam- boyant as those of the nearby gold coast; but they are secure from the forays of roving gangsters.

It is a closely guarded C—0-).5-2 secret; and the fact that one of the street's prominent residents recently The Bidding forgot it was the thing that brought the existence of the “Astor Street Protective league” out into the open secently. ‘This man, very well to do, had been put of the city on a hunting trip. He returned, wearing a three or four days’ growth of beard, and drove his car up to the curb in front of his house. As he got out of his car, a policeman stepped up. “Hello, officer,” said the man.

He and the policeman in- stantly had a long argument that ended only when the policeman sum- moned the butler from the man’s house and, through his identification, satisfied himself about the man's right to enter the house. “Word” Is Changed Often Incidentally, that “Good evening, officer” password has since been changed several times; so if you visit Chicago don't stroll out to Astor street and think you have the coun- tersign, because you'll just get into trouble. That is the way the Astor street police force works. By means of it, the wealthy residents of this exclusive street can be satisfied that no ma- rauders are coming into their neigh- borhood. They can be confident that no holdup man will follow them home from late evening parties and rob them at their front doors. Their neighborhood—unique in Chi- cago—is completely free from gang trouble. New England Men Unhurt in Accident New England, N. D., Nov. 25.—Over- turning while traveling at a good rate of speed on highway No. 10 about five miles east of New Salem, four New England business men narrowly escaped serious injury. The men were returning from a unting trip to Linton. When a rear ire went flat the car swerved to the side of the road and turned back and went over-when C. L. Harrison ap- lied the brakes as the car headed for the ditch. . = ._In the car were H. A. Bocherding, Gordon Gardner, C, L. Harrison, and R. T. Fieldhouse. Aside from a few bruises none of the four Were hurt. Little damage was done to the car, which was covered by insurance. ‘NEW NAVY BLIMP’TO TEST AIR 4 FUEL Akron, Nov. 25.—Alongside the two monster dirigibles which are ‘being built here for the U. 8.

North opens the jack of hearts, the top of his partner's suit, which West, the declarer, wins with the ace and returns the deuce, trumping in dum- my with the seven of spades. The missing high cards are spotted in ii] South's band by the original bid. De-| g:'sundreds of thouse used was Valued of dollars. for a club discard by leading the king, South covers with the ace, declarer trumping with the deuce of spades. As the declarer held five of the suit bid by South, he may expect to find five trumps held against him by North, who doubled. If the declarer were to return a heart and trump in the dummy; North would get @ val- uable discard. Therefore the declarer leads the six of spades, winning the dummy with the ace. The ten drop- ping from the South hand clearly warns him that there are four spades remaining in the North hand. The queen of diamonds. is returned from dummy and: the seven of clubs discarded... Another diamond is led and trumped by the declarer with the eight of spades. Declarer cashes his ace and king of clubs and leads the ten of hearts, North discarding the jack of diamonds, South winning with the queen of hearts. Scuth re- turns the queen of clubs which the declarer refuses to trump, discarding the seven of hearts, as he knows there is nothing but trump remaining in the North hand. This forces North to lead into the declarer’s king, jack of spades, and declarer has made his contract of four spades doubled.

I do not smoke; but a peru> sal of the reports made to you by qualified expertsindicates that your use of the Ultra Violet Ray in con- nection with your Toasting Process, in the manufacture of Lucky Strike Cigarettes, thereby remov- ing certain irritants which might otherwise be present in tobacco, has opened a new era for commen- sense smokers.” Everyone knows that sun- shine’ mellows=that’s why TOASTING includes the use of the Ultra Violet Ray.

No wonder 20,679 physicians have stated LUCKIES to be less irritating! “It's toasted”. Consistent with its poliey of laying the facts before the public, The American Tobacco Company has invited Dr. John A.
