Mr. Sims is universally acclaimed the greatest living conmtract and auction player. He was captain of the renowned “Four Horsemen” team, now disbanded, and has won 24 national champion- ships since 1924. These articles are based on the Sims system, which includes the one-over-ome principle, which the Sims group of players was the first to employ and develop. An Ambitious Contract. ¢¢] ™ USING the Sims two-and- three bids,” explained South, as he and his partner sat down to play. “They’re too infrequent for me,” replied his partner, “I'll grant that you always end up in the right spot, but what the heck! You get one once in a blue moon.” _ “Is that so?” retorted South, rally- ing to my defense. “I'll stick to them just the same. I've never yet opened with a three-bid that I failed to reach a makable slam. Nor a two-bid, either,” he added. “That’s good enough for me. Gives your partner confi- dence.” So saying, South took a peek at his cards. to be an analytical discussion of the American governmental structure and | its adaptability to economic and so- cial conditions such as now exist, Dr. George F. Bowerman, librarian of the | Washington Public Library, has recom- | mended the following references: C.| A. Beard, “Economic Interpretation; of the Constitution of the United | States”; Bertrand Russell, “Freedom | versus Organization, 1814-1914, and| Democracy and Plutocracy in Amer- ica, Part 3”; F. J. Turner, “The Fron- tier in American History.” The meeting will be held in the Shoreham Hotel ball room, starting at 8 o'clock. The panel of questioners for this session has not yet been se- lected, it was said. , 'CODE FOR MEAT SHOPS APPROVED BY PRESIDENT 48-Hour Week and Minimum Wage of $10 to $15 a Week Prescribed by N. R. A. By the Associated Press. President Roosevelt yesterday ap- proved a code for retail meat stores, calling for & maximum work week of 48 hours and a minimum wage of $10 to $15 a week, depending upon popu- lation. The South was given a $1-a-week wage differential, and a separate schedule approved for kosher stores. The code is to take effect December 31 and to cover stores where meat sales account for more than 50 per cent of total sales. The kosher wage minimum is to be $25 in cities over 1,000,000 population and $20 elsewhere for employes en- gaged in cuttin@ or preparing meats. Messenger boys and delivery boys in the South are not subject to the mini- mum wage provisions, but must re- ceive at least 20 per cent more than they got last June 15. —_— DIVORCED IN RENO Mrs. Beatrice Heller Gets Decree From D, C. Attorney. Mrs. Beatrice Heller yesterday was granted a divorce in Reno, Nev,, from Lawrence J. Heller, Washington at- torney. Cruelty was charged in the suit. The hearing on the divorce pe- tition was behind closed doors. Mr. Heller, who has offices in the Colorado Building, said he had no comment to make.

Therefore he opened with a bid of two hearts. North responded with two no trumps, and when South rebid his heart suit, North carried him to four. Remembering his slam boast of a few minutes before, South inexcusably jumped to six. The opening lead was a spade. With a heart break and the club finesse working, seven is laydown. South played the ace of hearts and was grieved to see the queen drop. Play- ing against inferior opponents, South might handle the hand thus: The ace of clubs and the queen of clubs. If East wins with the king, South can get rid of a diamond on either the fourth club, or the lone queen of spades. But if East is the nasty type (and East distinctly was), he might hold off the queen of clubs, in which case South is bound to lose a diamond as well as a club. There is another way of playing the hand. It involves gi up an un- necessary trick, but this illusiopary sacrifice pays dividends in the long run. South got rid of the blocking king of spades in his own hand, then played a small heart to the dummy. East must win with the 10 spot. Now South has a re-entry in the nine of hearts to get a diamond on the queen of spades. Since the club finesse is good, he will make his small slam. With a daimond opening, South can't even come close. When you gamble, however, as some one sald truthfully, you must be prepared to lose. South merely happened to win.

After an announcement yesterday that the sale of Christmas seals is running approximately $30,000 short of what is considered necessary for tuberculosis work in the District dur- ing the coming year, appeals for the purchase of more seals were issued by both Willlam Green, t of the American Federation of Labor, and Robert V. Fleming, president of the Riggs National Bank. In his appeal Green said tuberculosis is markedly on the increase because of economic conditions and that, therefore, tuberci work is urgently needed. “This & most worthy cause,” he said, “and for that reason I hope that every one of our people will contribute to the extent that their funds will permit.” The purchase of Christmas seals was declared by Fleming to produce dividends because “it is an investment in health.” An appeal was also made by the Tuberculosis Association for those who have not received seals sent out on approval to secure them from the various self-service boxes in Govern- ment buildings, drug stores, post of- fices, hotels and Junior League’s booth at the F street entrance to Woodward & Lothrop.

INSISTS REDS ARE BEATEN Declares Stam Slaying Is Dying Gasp of Move- ment. By the Associsted Press. NANKING, China, December 22— National government officials insisted today that last week's tragic events in Ahnwei Province—the barbaric slaying of Mr. and Mrs. John C, Stam, American missionaries—were but the dying gasps of the Communist move- ment in China. While deploring the Stam tragedy and kindred affairs, Gen. Chiang Kai- Shek and lesser officials expressed the belief these happenings were an inev- itable reaction to the government's relentless pressure against lawless ele- ments. The Communist movement, without any doubt, has been smashed, the government believes, and henceforth such elements will be forced ‘continu- ally to keep on the move, thus has- tening their disintegration and rein- corporation into ordered society. Chiang Kai-Shek today was en route to his native town of Fenghwa, in Chekiang Province, to pay his re- spects at the graves of his parents, but before leaving he said the gov- ernment’s future energies will be vig- orously directed toward suppressing Communism. The national government will not rest untll the Red armies which are resisting its authority are overcome, he said, just as the armies in Kiangsi Province, former base of Red activi- ties, have been cleared out. The Communist hordes from Kiang- sl were reported in pell-mell retreat westward and, unless blocked, are ex- pected to join Red forces in Shensi, Kansu, Szechuan, Kweichow and Hu- nan Provinces. Gen. Chiang painted a black picture of conditions in the recovered terri- tories in Kiangsi Province, where Communist troops had been in occu- pation for six years. “It is appalling,” he said, “to re- cord that some 6,000,000 people have been rendered homeless and driven into exile and suffering, while 1,000,- 000 innocent victims have been slaugh- tered in cold blood by these ruthless raiders.” Finds Needle in Egg. ‘While eating an egg James Crabtree of Melbourne, Australia, coughed up a needle 1% inches long, and he and his wife, the cook, believe a hen laid the egg containing the sewing steel. JOB RELIEF COSTS HELD DOUBLE DOLE Corporations Report U. S. Spends 50 Per Cent More on Work Aid. By the Assoclated Press. NEW YORK, December 22.—Un- employment relief provided by work programs cost nearly 50 per cent more than direct relief in the United States | as & whole, it was asserted today in | a survey by the National Industrial Conference Board, an organization supported by large corporations. The cost figures for August, taken from data published by the Federal Emergency Relief Administration, were $36.56 per work relief case and $24.83 per direct relief case, it was rted In Delaware, the board found, the cost per work relief case was $109.92, the highest in the country, against an average cost per direct relief case of $26.14. In Kentucky, however, the average cost per work relief case was shown to be $10.82, against $10.89 per direct relief case. - PFive States with work relief costing more than $70 per case were Delaware, Montana, New Jersey, Maine and New Hampshire. In those States the high- est cost per direct relief case was $33.36. Five States with work relief costing no more than $21.26 were South Caro- lina, Alabama, Texas, Oklahoma and Kentucky. In those States the high- est cost per direct rellef case was $14.61. States where direct relief average costs exceeded work relief costs were Maryland, where the costs were $78.04 and $37.71, Virginia, Kentucky, Louis- isna, Idaho, Wyoming, Nevada, West Virginia and Arizona. The average for the United States in August was $28.43 per work relief case and $17.11 per direct relief case, it was shown. “From the standpoint of the unem- ployed, work relief has the advantage that, as a rule, the receipts are greater than in direct relief,” the conference board reported. “From the standpoint of the taxpayer, direct relief is prefer- able, for the reason that it costs much less.” BETA CHRISTMAS PARTY TO BE HELD ON FRIDAY Annual Event for Members of Fraternity and Their Families at Columbia Country Club.
