Where Charity Is Called and Vound "Vulnerable There was an increase of 800,000 in the number, of packs of playing cards sold in this country last year, according to the tax figures, and it is suggested that the increase was due to the number of persons playing bridge for charity Boston Globe.

Every rooming be meets the 7 o'clock train to Marblehead and picks up a newspaper the engineer tosses out to him. Bozo ignores all other morning trains. He may be playing far from the house at 6:58, but when the tram goes by he's there to meet it.

He carries the paper home and the change to daylight saving time doesn't fool him a bit. A Baltimore, Md, policeman didn't like the fit of a coat worn by William JIazewski and as a result William is in jail charged with looting the Marietta railroad station. Mazewski's coat was too small, so the policeman took him into custody to ask him about the cut of his clothing. In the prisoner's pocket was found a switch key stolen from the station. In a Chicago restaurant James Mc-Gavock said his soup was cold and threw the bowl at the waitress, Ger-aldine McCarthy.

She hurled him against the wall, and a mirror crashed on his head. When he regained consciousness McGavock discovered his leg was broken. After paying a fine of 525 for breaking George Foster's nose, Patrick Mr-Gurn of Chicago said that at that price he was "going to get square with two other troublesome neighbors." Ben Thomas, Negro delivery boy, presented himself at the window of the Houston, Tex, tax collector's office and asked for a chauffeur's license. The clerk asked the boy the customary questions, made out a form and handed the Negro an oval-shaped piece of metal, his license. Thomas took one jrlance at the tag and handed it back.

The license bore the number 1313. He finally was prevailed upon to acceyt the number by the clerk, who explained the figure 13, "doubled," was generally considered an omen of good luck.

of the crew of the British schooner Ruth which sank in a gale off the Newfoundland coast Jan 30, left here today for their home port of Lunenburg, S. Nine men and a dog were rescued from the foundering craft by the freighter Fluor Scar, of the South Atlantic Line, as it crossed their path two days after mountainous waves wrecked the two-masted auxiliary schooner. They were brought here Saturday and shipped for New York today on the Clyde steamship Cherokee. From New York the party will go on home. Heavy seas piled high on the Ruth built for the fishing trade, and carrying no cargo, on Jan 28, and the pilot house was smashed.

For two days the crew manned the hand pumps to keep the vessel from sinking, but wave after wave poured into the ship through the opening. Then, when the men were at the point or exhaustion, the Fluor Spar came along and took the crew aboard. Nothing was saved except the seven-weeks old dog, rescued at the risk of it's owner life. Capt Lennie Cook, 34. was master of the Ruth owned by Adams and Knickle of Lunenburg.

Six fishermen, only survivors of a crew of 27 aboard the schooner Eleanor Nickerson, which was almost immediately sunk 60 miles off Sable Island, early Friday morning, when it was in collision with the Belgian steamer Jean Jadot, expressed their bewildered amazement at their own salvation when they arrived at their headquarters on the Fish Pier today from New York. Their last deSnite memory of peaceful life on the Nickerson was the sound of a man's shriek of fright when he saw from the deck the prow of the Jadot rush toward the schooner out of the blur of the storm. They were below, lying in their bunks, most of them, when the shout came and warned them instinctively of a disaster. What followed has left them stunned, and they are incredulous at the luck that saved them. The survivors are Edmond Burbine, 118 Bryant st.

Maiden; Frank B. Le-blanc, 123 Thorndike st, East Cambridge; Paul V. Leblanc, 49 Walnut st, Maiden; Patrick Feltmate, 161 Hancock st, Cambridge; Arthur Burke, 17 Main st, Melrose, and Calvin Hemeon, 42 Santuit st, Dorchester. Jadot brought them into New York yesterday. They arrived from there in the South Station at 7 this morning.

After a breakfast in the station, they went to their headquarters on the Fish Pier, the office of Arnold Winsor. Crushed In Rush for Lives The voice of Frank Leblanc broke when he told of what he had seen in the cabin of the ship when the prow of the Jadot cut through it. He saw WATER FRONT NEWS Crippled Fishing Craft Not Located The auxiliary fishing schooner William H. Killigrew, reported with a smashed rudder just south of Georges Bank yesterday, had not been located today by the cutter Ossippee and the patrol boat Aurora, which was dispatched to assist the crippled craft. A wireless message received today from the commander of the Ossippee stated that the search was being continued.

It is possible a makeshift rudder has been rigged by the crew that will enable the vessel to make port. The Killigrew was last in Boston Dec 22, when she landed a catch of fish at South Boston. Since then she has been marketing Var trips at New York. She is owned in New Bedford and carries a crew of reven men. A wireless message received at the navy yard today stated that the wreck of the tuz Lamie B.

Shaw, which sank on Tuesday last, while towing the barge Ruth Shaw from Baltimore to New York, had been found 4' miles southeast magnetic from Cape May, jetty. Soundings show that two fathoms is the m'nimum depth over the wreck. The spot has been temporarily buoyed to warn mariners of the location. Reports from abroad state that the Soviet Government is contemplating, an expenditure of more than J4, 000,000 fcr the expansion of its shipyard at Leningrad. The yard will be used for the construction of war vessels and mercantile ships.

It is also stated fhat 50 tankers for the Soviet may be built by a Spanish shipyard in exchange for a large quantity of petroleum. No final agreement has been reached, it is understood. The work of unloading the 23.400 bunches of bananas from the United Fruit Company's steamer Musa, which arrived Sunday from Puerto Cortez, began at Wharf this morning. The steamer will return to New York and beginning next week the San boats will resume their regular service from Honduran ports. The San Bruno will arrive on Sunday from Puerto Castilla.

Thev had not recovered from the shook of seeing the Jadot cleav 'hrough the cabin of the Nickerson; nor the horror of hearing the scream of the men who were crushed, and the sigwt of them disappearing suddenly under the water. The six survivors stood in the rain on the pier, shook hands with friends from other boats who came up to con gratulate them and to condole with over the loss of their number A crowd gathered in a semicircla around them while news reel photographers, with sound apparatus, begtfed ihem to talk.

ABANDON SEARCH FOR 21 MISSING FISHERMEN After searching for more than 48 hours for the 21 missing members the crew of the ill-fated Boston fishing schooner Eleanor Nickerson, the Coast Guard destroyer Conyngham is on her way to Boston today. In a wireless message to the Coast Guard heaaquar ters today- the commander of the de stroyer said that he had made a care ful search of the locality where the schoonsr was sunk by collision with the Belgian steamer Jean Jadot, but none of the missing men was locatel and not a trace of wreckage was found. The entire area was gone over but without result. Hope for the missing men has been abandoned. The Conyngham abandoned the search at 8 this morning.

"She showed," the assistant prosecutor declared, describing her coolness In the Los Angeles railway station when she attempted to claim trunks containing the bodies she had shippad from Phoenix, "a whole lot more intelligence and sanity than I would have shown under similar circumstances."

"Some of the men were sitting around, talking, and pulling on their boots. It was stormy outside, and the boat was rocking on the heavy seas. "All of a sudden I heard a man cry from the deck.

It was I pulled on my boots quick. Men started to rush for the decks when the prow of a boat smashed into the cabin. I started for the gangway. But then I saw some of the fellows smashed and thrown down against the bunks. "I stood in a corner and watched.

I tugged at my boots, pulled them up. Then I saw daylight afid I went toward it. Somehow I got up to the deck. When I got up there the boat had already sunk so far that it was on a level with the water. "Waves came up and washed me over.

I couldn't get out of the water. I was down, and it was impossible for me to get to the surface. I thought I was never coming up. When I did I saw a dory full of men rolled completely over by the sea. "Then a wave washed me over to another dory; I grabbed hold of it and climbed in.

Some Silent on Tragedy Some of the men' could not talk about what they had endured. They remembered being battered by the sea and going dazedly through motions to save themselves. It was luck, they said, that, they were safe. They did not know how it happened. They recalled most vividly that fishing voyage was suddenly, terribly interrupted.
