Frail, manager of Montgomery Ward tire department, announced that 1933 la the 30th anniversary of Riverside tires, and told of the remarkable Im provements that have been made In tire quality since the first Riverside was sold In 1013. "No 1013 tire was anything to brag about," aald Mr. Prall. "The motor ist who went for a Sunday afternoon ride about town without tire trouble was fortunate Indeed. The 30x316 Riverside sold for $18 (other makes were priced aa high as $3b) and 8,000 miles was about the maximum life of any tire. "But that was 30 years ago. Today one rarely knows what tire trouble Is. We have learned a great deal about making tires since 1013. and at the same time effected economies In manufacturing that are almost unbelievable. You don't realise what hns been accomplished until you compare the cost per thousand miles. Take for example the 30x3 'A, one of the few slues used In 1012 that Is still in use today. The 1013 Riverside oost the car owner about $8 per thousand miles 'the 1033 Riverside will cost about 18 cents per thousand miles, a reduction of 07 per cent. And that's not all; the 1033 tire la practically troubleproof." In commenting on the marvelous 1033 automobiles being sold all over the country, Mr, Prall pointed out the part the tire Industry has played In making those cars possible. "The development of tho cord tire. and later the balloon, changed tho entire automobile Industry. These tires are sale at greater speeds; can carry heavier loads. They eliminated the necessity for changing and re pairing tires on the road every time the car was driven. Without the modem safe . balloon tire of today speeds of 70 to 100 miles per hour and more would never have been possible." Continuing, Mr. Prall said, "1033 is a year of exceptional tire values as well as automobile vslues. We knew that most people prefer the extra safety extra wear and freedom from trouble that is obtainable only In a six-ply heavy duty tire. We further knew that the former price of such tires placed them out ot the reach of many people. So we devel oped a new six-ply heavy duty River side and priced it at the usual price of a four-ply tire. The Immediate acceptance of this new Riverside is almost overwhelming, It meets the need for safety and extra wear at the lowest price ever placed on a full six-ply tire." Mr. Prall was asked about the new nine-Inch cross section Riverside air cushion that operates with only 10 pounds of air. He said, "That Is the tire of tomorrow for the car of today. We predict that within two or three years most automobiles will be originally equipped with tire of this type. It has three Of finite ad vantages over all other tire! (1) It takes the bumps out of the roads; t (31 It can be driven through sand.: mud or snow that would mire other j tires, and (9) It will stop a far in j half the distance. With all these advantates, Isn't It reasonable to be lieve the public wilt demand Its adoption by car manufacturers?" i NEW YORK, May 3. (AP) Ely Culbertson has announced that a new International contract bridge code to Inflict sharper penalties on non-vulnerable sets probably will be in effect by early fall. The new syatem has been tenta tively approved by the card commit tee of the Whist club, which la the official lawmaking body for bridge in America. It la next to be sumbtt ted to the card committee of the Portland club in London, In outlining the proposed new code beforo a convention of Culbert son teachers at the Waldorf-Astoria, Culbertson warned that It should not be taught until both committees have approved It. Charles A. Hill, chairman of the card committee of the Portland club, and A. Carson Roberta, also a mem ber of the Portland card committee, are In New York for a conference on tne code. They will be dinner guests tonight of Charles M. Schwab, president of the Whist club. The present penalty of SO points for set of one trick, undoubled and non -vulnerable, will be unchanged, but the second, third and fourth undertrlcks will cost 200 points each. Under the present code the undou bled, non-vulnerable set of six tricks costa the declorer 300 pionts. Under the proposed new code It would cost 750 points. GIRL PISTOL ACE WOUNDS ROBBER IN CHICAGO CAFE CHICAGO, May 8. (AP) The two robbers who entered the restaurant conducted by Marie MacLaughlln, 17 and her mother, counted on every thing but Marie. Marie was waiting on the trade when the pair came In last night. One of them drew a pistol and ordered Marie and her mother to put up their hands. 'Oh, yeah?" was Marie's reply as she sslKed a pistol concealed behind a counter and fired. One robber was hit In the abdomen and fell to the floor. Marie then took another shot, but missed aa the wounded man was carried Into a car which was driven away. It waa poor shooting on Marie's part, in the opinion of her father, John D. Macaughlin, a special watch man. "I trained all my children to shoot pistols," he said, "but Marie waa the worst shot among them. It's too bad one of the others wasn't there. Any one of them would have hit both robbers." 4 . 1 E An Innovation In baseball may be offered southern Oregon fans If ne gotiations now in progress between LouIa (Scoop) Puhl, socretary of the Valley league, and the manager of a girls' team of Wichita, Kas., are successful.

LAMPORT'S East Main St. Phone 120-R BaM REDOUBLED SLAMS. By Tom O'Nell. Holding a hand of great atreugth. especially In one suit, a dealer at contract often does well to open with a bid of one or to pass. This principle applies when the nature of the hand makes It reasonably certain that the bidding will be kept open or started by others. An Illustration Is a hand in which Alan Oould. Associated Press sports editor, started with a bid of one club and eventually contracted for a little slam redoubled and took all the tricks. In contrast to that Is a hsnd In which an opponent ot Mrs. Blanche Moree of the Deschapellea club. New York, holding 12 clubs, opened the bidding with a little alam of fer. Mrs. Moree and partner over called and triumphed In a redouble. A high bid after an opening as low as possible often convinces oppo. nents that the bidder la taking des perate chanoea and there comes a double, highly profitable to the side doubled. Here waa the opening with a bid of one on a powerhouse : NORTH KH7IU K X "631 K AST rrsr- 1 rff- s I I J t k ajn I I 4 a 5 4 a a ' ' a 9 s 3 A 9 fc 4 60UID umiB OEALER " 4, A HJ IP U 40 4D P P 60 DBL P P REDBb P P P Oould took all the tricks, trump ing a diamond, drawing trumps, playing the ace of spades and ace of hearts and entering dummy via the king of hearts to get discards on the spades.

When ieaat followed suit, It waa easy for south to deduce that west held tne singleton king Bnd It fell on the ace. The hearts Jn dummy afforded south necessary discards. Had east passed originally or bid one club and Increased the bid grad ually north probably would have not undertaken what ehe regarded aa a sacrifice bid by a slam In hearts. Indeed east might have been dou bled after eventually bidding little slam. - GOTTLIEB TROPHY SEI In the first block of the contest for the Gottlieb billiard trophy at the Elks' club last night, David R.
