If Krueger had been tested on a character basis and only a cursory survey of his operations made, he never could have fooled the New York bankers or the stock exchanges to the extent he did. These gentle- men were the victims of their own credulity. Fraud, forgery, recklessness and bare-faced theft were the founda- tions of Kreuger's credit, as the in- disclose. There are Plenty of laws against such crimes 50 now but they proved ineffective in Kreuger's case.

It is impossible to estimate how many lives have been saved by the work which this organization has cone, but the reduced incidence of tuberculosis and a declining death rate from this cause give testimony cf material accomplishment. Constant study and observation, coupled with wide experience and ad- vances in methods of treatment, have taught the people in charge of this work when and where to strike most effectively. That they have done so is illustrated by the report of Dr. Fannie Dunn Quain, president of the organization, published Tuesday in this newspaper. Mrs. Quain is a mother as well as 2 physician and both her instinct and her technical knowledge give approv- al to the plan for preventing the di- sease among children worked out so splendidly at Camp Grassick. To save the tuberculous adult is a diffi- tult proposition, so difficult that many institutions where such cases are treated have acquired in the past the reputations of charnel houses. The situation is better now,| but not enough so to warrant any favorable comparison with proper pre-j; ventive measures. In treating tuber- culosis, if anywhere, “a stitch in time saves nine.” The heavy incidence of the disease mong children of “teen” age is cause for concern and should command the attention-of parents everywhere. The zecommendations of the Tuberculo- sis association with regard to this phase of the fight should be given attention by the proper authorities, as should the suggestion concerning the value of hot lunches in combat- ing disease. We hear of this organization main- ly at Christmas time when the an- nual seal sale is conducted, but it is comforting to know that it functions every day in the year and that, when the rest of us are intent on our own} affairs, it is giving undivided atten- tion to important factors concerning our health and that of our children. Bismarck can be especially proud | of the fact that two of her citizens, Mrs, Quain and Miss Helen Katen, executive officer, are in the forefront ef this work. They are giving an example of fine public service and of dollar-stretching which other organ- izations depending upon the public tor finances might weil copy in these times. A Law Not Always Effective Americans probably are the most gullible people in the world when it comes to legislation. They too often refuse to hold an official responsi- | ble for proper administration but spend great energy in seeking to pre- vent maladmunistration by tne en- actment of a law aimed at some Practice which could easily be pre- vented by election of proper officials to office. Legislation against nepotism, laws prohibiting the employment of mar- ried women, a mass of legislation di- recting certain businesses how to conduct their affairs illustrate the point and the instances could be multiplied ad nauseum. Congress, for instance, is now en- gaged in 2 probe of the Kreuger swindle. Certain forces are milling around seeking to pass laws which would make another Kreuger swindle impossible. They won't succeed Swindles will continue unless the in- vesting public is on its guard and seeks more information before giving its hard earned dollars. credit In too & E i fe H . li F i : I E z : him in determining a man’s |the harrowing details of the swindle but the probe will not protect the public against other swindles. Nostrums Have Failed How widespread is the problem created by wholesale foreclosures up- on farms and homes is indicated by the fact that every farm-state legis- lature now in session is seeking solu- tion to the question. No other subject has been given jmore thought during the first few days of the North Dakota session and this is true of neighboring states, All this is the fact despite the fact that the national congress also has given its attention to the situation, enacting numerous laws to deal with it. We have the home-loan bank act, passed at the last session, and more farm-relief agencies than can be counted on one hand. Yet the debacle continues. The only effective means of stopping it seems to be that adopted in isolated instances where crowds of farmers have brought moral suasion to bear to halt foreclosure sales. The federal prescriptions have Proved to be patent nostrums, var- ieties of soothing syrup which fool the patient but do not help him to get well. The proposals made in this and other states are admittedly stop- gap measures. Few can sympathize with the sen- for his latest filibuster. They have within themselves a speedy remedy to limit debate. Long was using the easiest weapon at hand. The nation generally condemns such tactics but is amused at the senate's discomfort under Long's barrage of words. The situation is of its own making. Now that freedom with a joker at- tached has been offered the Philip- Pines, it remains to be seen whether the Filipino will see the string.

The result will tell you the number of cards her than the card led that are in the hands of the three players other than the leader. Using the above example (partner opening the five spot) if dummy now held king-9-6 and you, as partner of the leader, held ace-jack-7, you would now say five from 11 leaves six. AS these are three cards in the dummy higher than the five spot, and as your hand contains three higher, you would now know that the declarer held no card higher than the five. If dummy played the six, you would play the seven, which would hold the trick. If he played the nine you win the tritk with the jack, while if he played the king you would take it with the ace. The mathematical principle of the Rule of Eleven is as follows: Cards in reblity begin with the two spot— there is no one spot. Now, let us sub- stitute an 11 spot for the jack, 12 spot for the queen, 13 spot for the king and a 14 spot for the ace. Now select 13 cards from one suit of @ deck and lay them out on the table in their ranking order. We are calling the ace, king, queen and jack the 14, 13, 12 and 11 spots, respective- ‘Now select any small card and ee As the card led is always the fourth best, the leader therefore holds three these nine cards, so instead of say- ing five from 14 leaves nine and the three the leader holds from nine leaves six, we shorten the procedure by deducting the three cards held by the leader from 14 and arrive at the constant figure of 11. Now, for practice, take the 13 cards of the suit you are using them out in four hands—in any dis- tribution you care to, that the opening leader always has at least four cards. Lead the fourth best, look at the dummy, look at eith- er of the other two closed hands, and see if you can tell how many cards higher than the card led are in the other closed hand. Practice this until you are ily familiar with the working of the Rule of Eleven. It is very seldom that a card high- er than the eight spot is ever led in the Rule of Eleven.

So many people are reefing in their financial sails these days, that we don’t need to feel too greatly out of sorts with the world when it is necessary to economize. If it's your job to keep the wheels of a household turning, your re- sponsibility is greater than ever— and so is your opportunity to make those around you happy. Folks are staying home more than they have for years. That means that they're noticing their surroundings more. If your home looks shabby, your furniture scratched and your dra- peries faded, the members of your family are bound to feel discour- aged when they look around them. But if your dwelling place is bright and harmoniously colorful, it will be a constant source of inspiration. “Yes,” you say, “I'd like to fix up my home. I'd like to buy new farieure pnd new draperies now that everything is so reasonal priced. I'd like to have my home completely redecorated — but — I shouldn't spend money on the house when I’ve got to help the family finances every way I can.’ Of course you have to help—but don’t make the mistake of being too “Scotch” or you'll defeat your own purpose. New color in your surroundings will give you new energy and new interest. New color, in the form of paint, enamel or lacquer, will enable you, at small cost, to transform old furniture to few—scratched surfaces to shining ones By LONORE KENT Paint can be your ally in so many ways. I received a letter the other day from a woman who was plan- ning to redecorate her living room when her husband's salary was cut, making it impossible for her to pur- chase the new draperies on which she had set her . However, she proceeded to paint some of the liv. ing room furniture as she had origi- nally planned—a bookcase that had been cleverly contrived from a packing case, a battered desk and a little table that had seen better days. These, she gave a gleaming coat.of black enamel, trimming the back wall of the case the inside of the desk in a soft blue- viol Il table was enam- eled black and on top of it was painted a checker board with dull gold and blue-violet squares. As a background for the attrac- tively secreted faraane, the faded terial was still. good, with the black and orange still quite fresh— but the reds, greens and blues had faded into ugly grays and browns. Here's her letter: “Then I had my inspiration. Wh; not freshen those draperies wit paint? I took one down and hurried to the basement to gather up what paints and enamels I had. With a small brush, I gave splashes of color to the old design. using. my paint @ little thick The greens, ‘The Lady-of-the-Letter looked at them in dismay. blues and oranges I touched up to their former brilliant hues.

Those lovely colors on the tan background made a color pattern which would harmonize perfectly with the rest of the room. Paint and enamel had given me the fresh- ness and charm which I so much desired, but which I wrongly be- lieved were to be found only in eapeanire furnishings.” t's really just a matter of using your ingenuity, you see. Just be- cause your income has dwindled is No reason for your home to look forlorn—not when you can have a varied assortment of paints and enamels at so little cost.
