JOB FIGURES WASHINGTON July 7—Charges made recently by the New York “Sun” that A. F. of L. figures on un employment are greatly exaggerated were disproved this week by data made public by Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins. The “Sun”, in a series of full-page newspaper adver tisements printed throughout the country, claimed that-employment was practically back to its 1929 level. The data compiled for Miss Per kins by the U. S. Bureau of Laboi Statistics checks closely with the A. F. of L.'s estimate that there are now 11,250,000 unemployed persons tn the nation. The figures supplied by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, added to the number of ycung per sons who have become of working age during the depression, indicate that the total numter of jobless (exclud ing agriculture) is 11,500,000. “ As the A. F. of L. includes agri culture in figuring unemployment, the Federation's estimate of 11,250,- 000 jobless is extremely conservative. | SOUTHERN SAVINGS I AND LOAN COMPANY ■ PAYS 4 Per Cent on I TIME CERTIFICATES ; AND I 3 Per Cent on I SAVINGS DEPOSITS F Assets Over $900,000 An Institution for Savers and Home Owners I 19 Bay Street, East Phone 2-2114 F.

Other traditions followed by the navy include: naming of cruisers after cities, battleships after states, aircraft carriers after early battle ships or battlefields, and destroyers after naval heroes.

Since NRA, however, pro duction has increased 17 per cent and labor purchasing power only 6 per cent. “Unless workers’ buying power In creases more than it has done since NRA we cannot expect to achieve the production necessary to put the un employed to work.” Building Pick-up Employmen gains in May and June have been more marked in building than in any other industry, Green said. From April to May 106.000 building tradesmen went ’ back to work—the greatest number in any May since 1931. About 200,000 more of these men are at work now than in May, 1935.

WOMAN SHERIFF TO SPRING TRAP OWENSBORO Ky., July 7 (TP).— Sheriff Florence Thompson who is the mother of four youngsters stood firmly today, on her determination to hang a criminal with her own hands. Mrs. Thompson announced yesterday that £he would spring the trap to hang Rainey Bethea on July 31. Bethea was condemned on charges of assaulting a woman. Today Mrs. Thompson’s announce ment caused state officials to appeal to her to accept a substitute to do the actual hanging. “No indeed,” said Sheriff Florence Thompson. “I’d never think of asking anyone else in the county to do such a task. It’s in my line of duty—and I’ll spring the trap.” Contract Bridge , TRYING TO PICK UP Q-10 9 “DEAR MR. SHEPARD: If the de clarer holds the Ace and three small cards, and the dummy has the K-J and two small cares, with the Q-10 9 and two low cards missing, how should the declarer play to stand the best chance of winning four tricks? If not too great a task, will you let me know about the chances the de clarer has to win four tricks? ”B. K. 8., St. Louis, Mo.” It is a pleasure to answer so im portant a query. The holdings are frequently held and there is only one rational way of playing such a hand. The five cards help adversely may be divided 5-0, 4 times: 4-1, 28 times; 3-2 68 times, in 100 times that de clarer and dummy hold the 4-4 di vision of that suit. Half of the time the Q will be at declarer’s left, and half the time the Q will be at de clarers right. Obviously it will be im possible for the decarer to avoid loss of at least one trick, if'the Q X-X-X-X, Q-X-X-X or Q singleton happen to be at his left, because the 10-9 also are missing from the 26 cards held by the declaring sice. If even Q-X-X are held at declarer's right he must lose to the Q. Fortunately there are 68 in 100 cases when the adverse division is 3-2. Each of these divisions must contain the Q-X-X or QX. There are 3 chances for the Q to be one of the 3 cards held, to 2 chances for it to Q-X. Speaking roughly, out of the 68 times that the 3-2 division Is held adversely, there will be 41 times when Q-X-X will be held as against 27 times the Q-X division will be held. Take ,136 average cases of the 3-2 adverse division of the suit specified, with 68 cases of the 3-2 division at declarer’s left, and a similar number of the 3-2 division at his right. Os ‘ each 68’s there will be 47 cases of J the Q-X-X and 21 casos of the Q-X. ' Double-dummy play, with all cards ■ faced on the table will enable de clarer to capture the Q 89 times out of the 136 cases. He will capture the Q at his left 47 times by laying ■’own his Ace, then fine-sing dummy’s I, then leading dummy’s K. The Q-X , nay be captured 21 times at delcarcr’s est. by leading his Ace, then when t has to be played on the low lead owards dummy, bj’ playing dummy’s <. Also the Q-X will be found 2i imes at declarer’s right, and may •e picked up by leading the Ace and C Os course there will be 47 fall ires to capture the Q. from Q X-X t declarer’s right. Without double-dummy play, the Q nay be captured only 42 times by eading off the Ace and K, thus cap uring the Q-X. on either side of de larer. By leading the Ace then inessing the J. in ca-e the Q is not dayed at declarer's left on the sec nd lead of the suit, the Q will be aptured all 68 times that Q lies at leclarer's left. This is the best ore :edure.
