OREGON DrunkenDrivingCombated STEPS TO MAKE DRIVE EFFECTIVE Root Of The Crime Problem State Police To Wage Campaign THROUGHOUT Oregon there Is an wakening to the menace of the drunken driver. Police drive, court everity, and editorial campaigns have combined into a veritable crusade to eject the intoxicated driver from the highways of the state. The cause is a worthy one, and it is reassuring to note the announcement by Charles Pray, head of the state police, that the 129 operatives of his department are giving special atten tion to the problem of ridding the high ways of irresponsible drivers of this sort. Mr. Pray is quoted in a Portland dispatch: "The drunken driver probably is the most serious menace in the state of Oregon at the present time. He is a potential murderer and has little if any regard for the rights of others. It is the intention of the state police depart ment to do everything possible to stamp out this menace and make the highways safe for the traveling public." Because Mr. Pray is a mm who does things when he says he will, there re mains no doubt that, so far as the state police are concerned, the drunken driver is going to find trouble aplenty on the highways of Oregon. However, to make the campaign fully effective, there must also be similar vigilance by local police operatives and full co-operation by the courts. A most effective weapon in the war on drunken driving is the threat of re vocation of the driving license. Under the law, a conviction in justice court automatically brings about license revo cation, the justice of the. peace being required to eend notice of the convic tion to the office of the secretary of state, who immediately revokes the li cense. This regulation should be thor oughly understood and adhered to, if the drive is to be fully effective. There has been some question as to whether this law pertains to the muni cipal as well as justice court. It is our understanding that technically, it does not, although the municipal judge ma;' at his discretion bring about license revocation in the same way. It is just as much of a crime to drive while in an intoxicated condition in the city as well as the country in fact it is probably more dangerous because of heavier traffic. For that reason, it seems logi cal enough that justice to the violator who appears in city court should be equally as severe as that meted out to the driver taken before the justice of the peace. The world is full of folks who like to do things in the eleventh hour. They are having their innings at Christmas shopping just now. Well, we're having a good time at it, aren't we? Herbert Nicholls Denied Parole HERBERT NICHOLLS. the 12-year-old slayer of Asotin, Wash., has been denied a parole by the governor of Washington. The action was' taken following an exhaustive investigation of the case, including a study of the boy's own life and that of his parents and grandparents. The conclusion of the governor is that young Nicholls is an "incipient Hickman." In other words, if Herbert Nicholls had not killed Sheriff Wormell of Asotin, he eventually would have committed another major crime. The governor does not feel that It is safe to take steps which will release the boy among society. Probably much of what the gov ernor has considered in reaching this conclusion is to be found in the report of an investigation of Dr. John M. Semple, superintendent of the Eastern Washington hospital for the insane. Dr. Semple made testa of the boy's blood and spinal fluid, and questioned the lad. Dr. Semple's conclusion was that young Nicholls, if liberated "would be like a young tiger after its first kill." The boy's father is in an insane asylum, where he was' placed after kill ing a woman. On his maternal side, his great-grandmother was in an Idaho insane asylum for several months. His home life was not good. He had, prior to the slaying, a record of petty crimes, such as the theft of the collection plate at Sunday school. And yet, the boy is not insane. He. in the opinion of Dr. Semple, and of others who have studied him, is men tally responsible. Thus his conviction, which places him in the state peniten tiary instead of the insane asylum. It seems the state of Washington has sensed its responsibility for this boy. It his made a complete investigation of his case, and it finds nowhere else to turn but to the penitentiary. What life in the penitentiary, among hardened criminals, may mean is recognized yet what is to be done? Maddening as the case may be, there it stands. That closes, for the time, at least, the case of Herbert Nicholls. Yet it need not be all loss, if it focuses attention of those who can help on the thousands of youngsters whose lives are yet free from such blemish, yet for whom some such destiny waits unless it can be stayed. There are youngsters today who will be the criminals of tomorrow, just as there are those who will be the doctors and lawyers and farmers of tomorrow. When we have learned to recognize criminal tendencies in child hood, to combat them through adult interest in the child's life, through the family, the school, the church and what other means may prove effective, we will have done more to solve our crime problem than we can ever accomplish by after-the-deed punishment walking alone Sheridan Road to lllversey Street. 1U didn't feel any differently than lit ever had.

JERRY-dWti-JOAN By Cleo Lncas CHAPTER VIII At first, sha bad made a tew attempts at conversation bnt Jerry had either answered her very vaguely or else had Ignored her ao completely and gone oft on another line of thought that aha finally gave up. She kept trying to think what she had aald that could possibly have made him change hla attltuda to quick ly. It had happened juat after they had tat down at tha table. She wat hurt, but the didn't want to ehow ltjio aha Jost went on eating and making rather un necessary remarks about the food. When the orchestra played tha tension waa relieved somewhat. She wished Jerry would ask her to dance but he didn't. It was early when they got home. Jerry had a feeling that ha should say good-night In a hurry, because Joan waa getting him again. All tha way home In tha cab he had longed to pull ber to him and crush the very life out of her. Clod, aha was lovely! In the moonlight her hair was gold, little atrings of gold curling around her cheeks. She put her hand up on the door. He watch ed ber long fingers as they touch ed the door knob. There waa a fragrance In tha air that made him diizy. "Haven't you a garden, Jo " "Yes." "Left well, would you like to git awhile with me and talk?" Joan was bewildered. One min ute he acted as If he wanted to get away from her. Now ho wat asking her to tit with him awhile. They sat down near the hedge. Jerry forgot everything, forgot that Claire Hempsted had brok en his heart, forgot that he had decided never to give It to any body elte, forgot that Joan Pren tice waa the daughter or a mil llonalre. forgot that he waa a newspaper critic with a aalary of fifty dollars per week, forgot that he had no business being with Joan Prentice. He only knew that ha wnnted her mora than anything else In the world and It he didn't hava her he didn't want to live. Hia rolce sounded funny when ha spoke, as If It didn't belong to him. "Joan, honey," ha waa hold ing her cola to him, kissing her face and sha was clinging to aim "I want you to marry mo " That waa all he tald. Tnal waa all be could think of to aay. It waa what he wanted. Joan wat crying softly. "Will you. Jot Will yon marry me?" "I love yon. Jerry." Jerry laughed a funny little laugh. Joan looked at him through her tears. "Why are you laughing, Jer ry?" "I always laugh when I'm happy." Then Joan langhed. too. "You're twell, Joan." "Thanke." He kissed her over and over. "Are you happy, Jo?" "I didn't know I would ever be this happy." The evening wat very quiet and from an open window they heard tha chimes of a clock strike elev en. "Guess I'd better go, Jo." Joan clung to him. "I wish you didn't tave to leave me." "I whh that, too. But people are doing that this year. That Is the best people." Joan laughed. "And we are the beat people, aren't we?" "Absolutely." Jerry lifted her up. He klfted her again. "Sleep tight, Joan, won't you, and I'll call you In the morning." Joan hung onto bla hand. She eouldn't let him go, ahe couldn't. Jerry took ber up to the door and kisied her axaln. "flood-night, honey." "Good-night." "Call you In the morning." Jerry started down the walk, nonchalantly, a It he were i'tst leaving from an ordinary date with her. "Jerry." e Joan started down the walk, toward him ahe couldn't let him leave thlt way.- He held her again. "You're mine, now Joan, boner." Yea, It waa all true. It had all happened to her. He meant It "And you're mine, aren't yon Jerry." "All yours." Ha walked back np to tha door with her again. Tn ao happy, darling." Jerry kissed her again. She was twell to kiss. "Be sweet, honey." Joan ttood on tha step and watched him walk away down to ward Sheridan Road. It bad hap pened ao quickly, Jerry crushing her rloae to him, kitting her, ask ing her to marry him. He did axk her to marry him. They wera engaged, then. They mutt ba engaged because he asked her to marry htm. But he hadn't aald. "I love you, Joan." Oh. but be had klased her and held her. He mnst lore her or he wouldn't have done that. Silly. He did love her or he wouldn't have atked her to marry him. Joan aat down on tha steo and looked up at tha moon. It look ed brighter than ahe had ever aeen It before. The stara danced gayly between white. floating clouds, aoft-looking clouds, Intan gible clouda of which dreamt are made. There wat the spell of romance woven deeply Into Joan's heart when ahe opened the door to go Inside. The moon and the stare had put It there and youth had allowed It to remain. But Joan did not know that. Jerrys engagement waa a ter rific aurprisa to himself. He hadn't given It any thought at all. In fact, ba had never thought of hlmaelf at being the marrying type, but It had all hap pened ao quickly. He couldn't blame it on liquor. Ha waa sure of that He had only bad two glaasea of beer before he aaw Joan, and several houra had patt ed In tha meantime. Maybe It waa the way the looked tonight. She had looked pretty divine. Well, whatever It bad been, it was too late now to cry over tpllled milk and anyway, he waa crazy about Joan. He told hlmaelf thil for tho hundredth time. Rhe waa ao tort ot regular and auch darned good company. Oh, hell, he would try to mnke her happy, honestly be would. Had ha told her that? What had be told her? He eouldn't remember. He hadn't told her ha loved her, ha v aura of that Ha had never told any girl ha loved her, except Clalra. There waa no tuch thing aa lore. Only companionship, that waa all.

Contract Bridge TAKEOUT IKH-BI.FS AND PEX Al.TY IMIllll.KH By MI'KXCKH H. KAPP Bridge KtuilloK, Barker llros., Los Angrlcs Doubles of the opponent's bid are made for two entirely differ ent reasona. Takeout doublea (some authorities call them In formatory doubles) ara an arti ficial convention to show strong handa and to ask for Information from partner. Penalty doublet (also called business doublet) are made, on the other hand, for the sole purpose of Betting and pen alizing the opponents. There should be no confusion at to meaning. A double of one no trump, or one or two of a tult. If partner hat not hid. la a takeout double. Hut It la a penalty double If the partner hat prevloutly bid, or If the double It of more than ona no tramp or two In a ault Takeout Doubles The requlrementa for making a takeout double are twofold, and many disastrous situatlona would be avoided If playera would re frain from doubling when one of theae conditiona cannot be mot. First, the doubler should hold at least three honor tricks, and If vulnerable ahould bava at least tlx playing tricks. Second, be thould have at loaat Qxx or xxxx In three suits that have not been hid by the opponenta, or he thould have one re-hlddable ault. The partner of the player who hat been doubled, of course, hat the next bid, and he should: (1) redouble, with IVi honor tricks, regardless of hit trump support for partner. For ha and hla part ner would hava at least fire hon or trlcka between them, and the doubler, even though he does hold hla three honor trlcka, la In a very ticklish position for hla part ner ran hava practically nothing. (2) Partner of the one doubled should give aa large a raise at possible la his Banner's suit whan holding normal trump support I and four or mora playing trlcka. to tie ahould takeout in a new suit with li honor trlcka and a nre-card biddable ault If vul nerable, thla mutt ba a good five card ault. The partner of the doubler. If there la no Intervening bid. ahould 1 1 1 pass, to make a penally. If ha holds a little better than two hon or tricks agalnat a no trump bid. or noma tour tricks In, trumps agalnat a ault bid. (J) Should make a Jump bid (I.e.. bid ona more than necessary ) when) hold ing two honor trlcka and at least a four card ault headed by K or If-J; or made a double Jump with IS honor trlcka and a good bid dable ault. (It hlakw tha lowest possible bid. when holding 1W I noaor tricks or less. Ha should prefer a four-card major headed by as little aa a Jack to any five- card minor. Ha ran hid no trump only wnen holding ope honor trick, no biddable ault, and a aura trick in tha opponent a ault It must ba remembered that. If tha opponent haa not Intervened, Ihe partner of- tha doubler cannot pass, no matter how weak hit hand, unlets ha expects to de cisively defeat tha opponent's contract aa In (I) above. If there haa been aa Intervening bid, on the other band, any response by partner of tha doubler thowt aa good a hand aa would be needed for a defensive bid. Penalty Doubles Penalty doubles ara made when ona hopes to make more In tha r of nenaltlea Chan can ba mads by keeping on with one's s-nt It the donbler, him self, would be able to make even a partial score ha la giving np a real value or about 10 points, and must penalise the opponents by more than thla to make It worth while to double. Ia the earns way. If the donbler could make a "game" hlmaelf. ha should penalize tha opponents at least S0O to 700 points or else ha would ba better off to take bis own game. Tha number ot trlcka which a band will take agalnat an oppo nent's bid cannot ba vary accu rately counted, aa aces and klnga bars a habjt ot being trumped when least expected. It la well, therefore, to count on defeating tha opponent by at leaat two trlcka before xiaklng a double, and by at least three trlcka If tha double will Increase tha oppo nent's contract to "game." Doublers of a ault ahould gen erally hold at least one trick in the trump tult, and ahould count on their honor trlcka only when they will take on the first or aee o'.ii round. In fact, oa only the first round If nine or more cards In tha ault are known to be In the i--in;1ned hands of the doubling side. In doubling a no trump, one csn count on 8 honor tricks taking five total trlrkt, and each additional honor trick taking about one total trick. However, If the opponenta have shown a good five-card cult by their bid ding, these flgurea must be ma terially reduced. it Is poor policy to double one suit when the opponents can go Into another tult which It la lm postihle to double. Bettor play the hand undoubted at the ault which can aurely ba defeated. The partner of the doubler should aeldnm take the doubler out only when he hat prevlout ly given misleading Information about hla hand, and can remove the double, by bidding, without the ritk of a aevere penalty. The partner of the one doubled should not rescue with a bid that could not have been made nor mally. And neither he nor hie partner ahould rodouble unless they expect to make one mora than their contract, and not then If the opponent can aafely rebid their own band. Next week we will discuss tha bidding of alamt.
