CULBERTSON DRAWS NEW
CONTRACT BRIDGE CODE
M. W. CHIEF TELLS
IMS ICE 1912
Xn an Interview today, B, R. 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."

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 :

Oould took all the tricks, trump

playing the ace of spades and ace
of hearts and entering dummy via
the king of hearts to get discards
on the spades.

slam that was overcalted:

A diamond lead would have aet
the slam, but west led a low apade,
assuming that north held the ace
and would nlay It at once. 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. -
