Vanderbilt, the man who introduced contract to America. Forty boards were completed in a session which began Friday night and ended early Saturday. There will be another session Saturday afternoon at the Deal Club. Willard Karn and Sims, plaving against Vanderbilt and Baron Wal-demar von Zedtwltz had a plus score of 1,940, while their partners, David Burnstine and Howard Schenken, were plus 155 points, playing against Raymord Balfe and John The teams will meet in three more sessions, using the total points system of scoring.

In the initial set-to each team bid only one slam, a thing unusual in expert play. Neither slam was made, or indeed could be made, In the opinion of experts. The baron and Vanderbilt bid a grand slam on one hand where they were doubled and set 600, four tricks. Schenken and Burnstine bid a small slam, and went down one, undoubled.

Shannon, of The smell of freshly plowed earth is being enjoyed by thousands of Birmingham persons this year who in ordinary times would know no smell but that of factory or store or office. As a part of the unemployed service work of the Red Cross and other Community Chest agencies, vacant lots In Birmingham are being turned into vegetable gardens, unemployed persons are digging up their back yards and idle land around plants is being donated for the work. The Birmingham Red Cross, through its Community Placement Bureau, is sponsoring 235.4 acres of gardens. Of this total, 125 acres are already and 121 acres are being planted or being broken for planting. Soma of the acreages reported include: Sweet potatoes, 21.7; corn, 54; polebeene, 75.3; butter-beans.

7.2; cornfield peas, 17; tomatoes, 14.2; collards, 4.7; squash, I 2.7; carrots, 1.1; okra, 3.2, and smaller amounts to turnips, cabbage, onions and other vegetables. During the last few days 2,000,000 sweet potato plants have been do- i nated for use of the Red Cross by truck farmers of Cullman. A truck was loaned by George Wofford and men were sent in the truck to Cullman t- pack these plants and bring them back. Everyone who has a backyard garden will be given some of these, according to Miss Ella Charts, representative of the Com- munity Placement. Bureau.

Last Saturday 40,000 of these were planted in Roebuck and the county worker at Kimberly has given 150,000 cabbage plants and was given 15,000 sweet potato plants. It is also expected to obtain from the garden project at Green Springs some 50,000 tomato plants to set out at Roebuck. The Red Cross has used nine tons of sweet potatoes and the same amount of Irish potatoes a week. Nine tons is the equivalent of 360 bushels. Several negroes who own plows and mules have given their services three days a week for rations.

One white man let his mule and plow work for his rations. The city has given permission to use all vacant property owned by it. This includes unopened streets and avenues. The Park Board has offered 50 acres in a park and will see to it that it is plowed. Dairies and a few railroads have been liberal with fertilizer and Red Cross workers praise the state farm agent for his assistance.

In East Thomas some unemployed men found three acres of ground available and organized a group to start the cultivation. The leader of the group, observing a plow and tWo horses on an adjoining farm, offered to let five of his men help the farmer if the farmer would consent to the use of his two horses and plow to cultivate the three acres. The swap' was made and proved successful to both sides. UNFURN. HOUSEKEEP.

The deuce of spades was opened and the Horsemen pair made 10 tricks for a score of 620 points, a vulnerable game. This hand, Karn pointed out, typified the Horsemen's system, where they daringly bid the game, relying confidently on their play to pick up tricks. Karn, praising Sims, said his second pass of the North card holding was what made it possible to contract the game. At the other table Mattheys was North, Schenken East, Balfe South and Burnstine West. The bidding was: West, pass; North, one heart; East, double; South, redouble; West, two clubs; North double; East, pass; South, pass; West, two diamonds; North, pass; pass; South, double, three passes.

The Jack of hearts was opened and the contract was set one trick for a loss of 100 points that made a net gain of 520 for the Horsemen on that board.

BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES 38 CHICAGO (JP) Mayor Cermak and Illinois representatives in Congress will knock on the doors of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation at Washington Tuesday with a plea to save Chicago teachers from privation. A last appeal to borrow' money from the corporation to purchase tax warrants of the city and county was made to the loop bankers at a conference in the mayor's office Friday night. The answer of the bankers, as given by Melvin A. Traylor, w'as no." "You cannot borrow yourself out of the mess you are In," the Internationally-known financier told the mayor and other officials and civic leaders. "Youll have to pay your way out with taxes.

The teachers should direct their efforts to those who refused to pay taxes." Taxpayers 8trike A taxpayers' strike has left many millions in taxes unpaid and municipal leaders declared there was little hope of bettering the situation In time. They decided to Journey to Washington and ask the R. F. C. heads to change the rules of the corporation to permit borrowing by municipalities.

Conference Called The mayor's conference was called Friday as a climax to an exciting day for the teachers. Thousands of them paraded through loop streets and staged a big demonstration on the lake front in protest against nonpayment of the salaries. The clothes of many a marcher frayed and showing signs of hardships suffered through lack of cash and credit, on they pushed through the dense loop traffic straight to the mayor's office.

They blocked traffic and a chorus of automobile horns rose high over din of the loop. Chicago's motorists are an irate lot when delayed but this time the horns didn't shout impatience. The motorists waved their hands in approval and shouted yells of encouragement. And no one asked the teachers for a permit to march. They didn't have one.

We have many Greek theaters all over our country, but, so far as I know, this Is the only Elizabethan playhouse. Englands Gift "Shakespeare is England's chief contribution to the world.

There are hardly a half-dozen of the 37 plays that we would willingly omit from any compilation of the world'B best half-hundred dramas. We are bewildered not so much by the number of plays that are justly termed masterpieces and Immortal, but at the Infinite variety of them, the richness within each play Itself an(f, most of all. by the extraordinary gallery of human portraits formed by the characters. "The two 'fereat English-speaking countries, England and America, have been laggard In appreciation of Shakespeare and have too often left it to others to do him honor. The Stratford Theater and the Folger Library and Theater will be proud monuments for all the world to see.

MONTGOMERY N. 21st fit. 8-3211 HOUSES FOR RENT 77 BY DOLLY DALRYMPLE Birmingham has had few more distinguished visitors than Miss Lucy Feagin, formerly of Union Springs. but jiow of New York, who, as the guest of her brother. I B.

Feagin, and his family, is receiving a most cordial welcome from friends and former associates. Miss Feagin, during her residence in New York, has established herself as an educator of great importance, and, socially, she has a position which Is enviable and delightful. Many honors have been conferred upon Miss Feagin during her residence In New York, where she is assisted at the Feagin Dramatic School by two other prominent Alabamians, John Cathey, formerly of Gadsden and Birmingham, widely known pianist, and his wife, Sarah Blue Cathey. One of the most significant honors was when she was asked recently to participate in the program in celebration of the 368th birthday of Wil 11am Shakespeare staged in Central Park, New' York. Only Alabamian Miss Feagin was the only Alabamian in the large Southern colony in New York who was so honored.

Others on the program Included Sir Gerald Campbell. Mrs. Margaret Eyre Rothwell, president. Shakespeare Roerich Association; Dr. G.

S. Richards, Cathedral St. John the Divine; Miss Emma Frohman, Baroness Alma Dahleurp, American Foundation, and Sayre Crawley, representing the Ben Greet Players. During Miss Feagln's visit to Birmingham she expressed her views concerning the theater, dramatic art and Shakespeare, of which she is a cultured scion. Asked if the magnificent Memorial Theater, Strat'ord-on-Avon.

at the dedication of which the Prince of Wales bfflciated, and the Folger Shakespeare Memorial. Wash ington, and other Shakespeare memo rials are not an indication that the Bard of Avon is not still holding his popularity and will srlwaya be the name above all others to be honored in the theater, she said. Speaking from the viewpoint of an educator. 1 might mention that acting In all countries and with all races reflects and expresses to some extent the quality of life. Acting follows the drama by necessity, realistic actors for the realistic And we have here in our country fine acting and good actors in plays written and cast to their type, but as for so-called 'stylized' acting, we have almost none at all.

"This Is largely due to the fact that we are not trained in acting in the classics or In the eighteenth century drama. Perhaps the reason we have not had more Shakespeare revivals Is that it is difficult to find actors sufficiently trained and capable. Shakespeare Necessary As a people, we Americans love the theatrical art and In order that the theater may be a significant factor In our national life, we have had It said we should produce plays representative of American life. This Is obviously true, but is It not true also that a generous sprinkling of Shakespeare would be a fine racial tonic for us? asked Miss Feagin. have observed that training and experience In playing Shakespeare develops the actor as no other experience can for playing all kinds of drama.

Including the most realistic and the most modern. It gives an actor the opportunity for a direction, a clarity and a precision o' movement and an acquaintance with the English language at Its best that no other drama can afford I understand that there is to be that Fitzhugh Melton, Barbour County slayer, was present, at his trial after all.
