New York, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh. Milwaukee, Chicago, Detroit G. 0. P. HAS NOTHING TO OFFER It is becoming more and more apparent that the G.

0. P. has nothing to offer the nation but political attacks on the New Deal Herbert Hoover now is quoted as advising that the right answer to the question of how long NRA is to be extended is to abolish it altogether. Mr. Hoover is evidently still of the same mind as in the do-nothing days of his administration, when the nation was heading for chaos with frightful speed.

And. speaking in Columbus. 0., Colonel Theodore Roosevelt breaks out i "I charge that for the two years past the present administration, under the lead of President Roosevelt, has systematically, capably and persistently undermined and destroyed our republican institutions and the safeguards of liberty and freedom." The G. 0. P.

heads still stand for "rugged individualism" evidently, in preference to any plan that looks to betterment ot the lot of the great mass of the American people. ONCE MORE--THE TOWN HALL! With other communities of Western Pennsylvania securing very substantial improvements covering a range of activities, it would seem that some way could be found to give Uniontown its much needed Town Hall. Ambridge, furnishes an example of use of federal funds for a needed civic project. That town has been watching the work over a two-year period of some 500 men. under CWA and RWD plans, on a huge civic sports and recreational field.

When the project is completed which -will be this year, it will have cost more than $200,000 in labor and materials. And it will provide for the community a recreation center that it now lacks. And certainly a sizable Town Hall would be of as great value here as the new sports field will be to Ambridge. BACK TO GERMANY It is nothing less than startling to learn that the government of the Union of South Africa wants to see Germany's former "African colonies restored to ownership. Yet this, apparently, is the case: and with it comes the news that the South Africans prefer the German colonial system to the French.

France uses her vast African possessions as a military reservoir, and trains thousands of blacks for her army. This makes the South Africans nervous-for Africa, after all, contains only a couple of million white men, and anywhere from 100,000,000 to 150,000,000 black men, and there is aways the chance that the latter, if drilled and armed for modern war, will get up some day and push the whites into the sea, regardless of nationality. It would be a queer twist to history if racial fears should cancel one of the chief products of the orld War and restore to Germahv her former colonies. THE NEW DEAL IN ATASHINGTOK -BY RODNEY DUTCHER-4 WASHINGTON, May the hearts of NRA'S remaining friends has crept the fear tluit President Roosevelt is willing to let that big milepost in his New Deal be dismantled and tossed away. Some NRA top-rankers are so convinced of Roossvelt's indifference that they now wonder only whether the organization will meet a quick, death June 16 or be allowed to expire miserably and by inches during the 10-month liquidation period for which it has been prolonged by Senate vote.

The president's desire for a two- year extension of NIRA with certain changes has been expressed as little more than a pious hope. Suspicion tliat he didn't much care began to grow he permitted Senate leaders to leave a While House conference and report out the Claik. resolution continuing NRA until April under such conditions as to insure its demise. Hope blossomed among the NRA faithful, partly reinforced by words from Roosevelt, that the measure would bs improved on the Senate floor and that NRA would save the show. But Senate Democrats in conference voted heavily for the Clark resolution when Majority Leader Joe Robinson said he was sure F.

D. would accept it and, since the week-end "fishing" conference between Roosevelt and congressional leaders, Senator Pat Harrison--in charge of NRA legislation--has been saying privately that anything the House did would have no effect on the Senate. And he said publicly after the vote. It is so difficult to believe that Robinson and Harrison-despite their anti-New Deal tendencies would deliberately defy the president, that this situation has brought those who still believe in NRA's possibilities to despair. For weeks NRA's salvation has, depended on a fighting attitude at' the White House.

But Roosevelt; has shown no signs of fight brought no real pressure on thej Senate. That's why it is now so; generally believed he's indifferent.

Johr Collier, commissioner of Indian affairs, has authorized the laying-out of buffalo ranges on the Pine Ridge and Crow reservations in South Dakota. This is to be done as part of a new wild life and conservation program tor Indian reservations, and it is expected to play a valuable part in rebuilding Indian morale and self-respect.

In many ways the idea has much to commend it. Once Ijiciian independence was destroyed, our government trifd 'a rr.aV.? the Indian fit into white civilization.

Water heats more slowly, but retains the heat longer than does land Water also reflects heat rays more than land does.

Temperature also depends to some extent on the wind. The wind can diffuse heat and, by evaporating water from the surface of the body, make the body seem cooler. Sunlight includes both heat ray: and ultraviolet rays. The sun ma? shine for many hours or for shor periods, as in winter in the temper ate zone. Total amount of sunlight receiv ed on a single day in the polax reg ions is, of course, more than is re ceived on a short day in the tern perate'zone.

But the sunniest parts of the earth are the tropical deserts Climate may react on the body affecting the temperature an perspiration, and in other ways. Naturally, effects of climate are greatly modified by clothing; the greatest effects are had when the body is without.clothing. For years physicians have prescribed a change of climate in certain conditions, because experience has shown that this is helpful. Sometimes the benefits result from a change in one's mental atjtitude: on other occasions, from a change in his physical condition.

SOLUTION TO PREVIOUS CONTRACT PROBLEM BY W1VL E. McKENNEY Sercretary, American Bridge League There are two famous bridge hands that I suppose will continue live on forever. They come to us from the old game of wbist. One is the Mississippi heart hand, which I will show you tomorrow, Today's has been called the of Cumberland hand, or the Lord avendish hand. I doubt if either or these names is correct, as Cavendish was name used by a London paper writer for a daily whist column.

However, as the story goes, the Today's Contract Problem This the famous Mississippi he-art hand. How many tricks do you think South takes, playing the contract at hearts?

A spade finesse is taken and another diamond ruffed, dropping Smith's ace. and establishing all of West's diamonds. Another spade finesse is taken. Now Smith's last trump is picked 1 up. and declarer simply spreads the hand for the balance of the tricks.
