Discussion of speeches by Senator Robert F. Wagner, <D„ N. Y.) and Secretary of Labor Francis Perkins was held. Senator Wagner in his talk said that the national Industrial Rela- tions Act, which set up the NR A, was an “unequalled charter of the -common people k rights.” He said that the Federal government could not give up its efforts to do some- thing for the workers without mak- ing a “clear abandonment” of hu- man rights. Secretary Perkins told the con- vention that needs of workers should not be made a political foot- ball.

FACULTY HOLDS DINNER DANCE Faculty members and guests at- tended the Ben Davis High School semi-annual faculty dinner party j last night at the Riviera Club. Mrs. Georgia Traub, C. J.

Bingo and cards were played pre- ceding the dance. Solution to Previous Contract Problem BY WM. E. M’KENNEY American Bridge League Secretary 'T'HE element of luck is re- •*- moved from duplicate bridge as much as possible, but luck still is a part of the game. It is true that, if you have a poor hand in duplicate, everybody else playing in the same direction will hold the same cards, and so there is noth- ing to worry about. But you may get a very difficult hand against a weak pair or you may play a hand against an exceptionally strong pair, and they will mis- plav it. For example, today's hand was selected from the pair event in the recent eastern champion- ships. Declarer opposed two of the outstanding players of the country. By a series of optimistic bids, declarer arrived at a contract of six no trump. To make the hand he had to get a diamond opening. The deuce of diamonds was played, West covered dummy’s seven with the king, and declarer won with the ace. He then led the 10 of spades. East’s singleton queen dropped, and the trick was won with dummy’s ace. At this point, declarer led a small spade from dummy, hoping to find the spade suit divided, but West won the trick with the four spot, declarer and East each dis- carding a club. West returned a diamond, which was won in dum- my with the queen. Declarer cashed the king of spades and discarded a heart from his own hand. Each began to feel the pinch. He could not release Gregory Kleins on Trip After Wedding Rites Mr. and Mrs. Gregory R. Klein are to be at home at 5120 E. Wal- nut-st after their wedding trip. Before the double ring ceremony, read yesterday by the Rev. Ernest Piepenbrok at the St. John's Evan- gelical Church, the bride was Miss Alberta M. Pfeiffer. The bride, given in marriage by her father, Albert Pfeiffer, wore a long tulle veil and a white satin gown, designed princess style with a train. She carried white roses and lilies of the valley. Mrs. William Frantzred, matron of honor, wor~ an oichid mousseline de soie gown with pale green ac- cess* . ies. Misses Dorothy Pfeiffer and Delores Rahm. both cousins of the bndc, were bridesmaids. Miss Pfeiffer s gown was blue mousseline de soie and her accessories pink. Blue accessories contrasted with Miss Rahm’s peach gown. Attend- ants carried pink roses. Mr. Frantzred was best man, and Paul Klein, Cincinnati, and Robert A. Meyers were ushers. A reception was held at the Pfeif- fer home. Mr. Klein is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Gregory G. Klein, Madison.

BY MARJORIE BINFORD WOODS Times Fashion Editor “AATDST showers of rice, make a gay get-away in a summery print suit-dress,” advises Miss Edith Anne Hoopingamer, whose mar- riage to Dr. Glen Ward Lee is to take place at 4:30 tomorrow at the Highland Golf and Country Club. Miss Hoopingamer has spent many hours on the assemblage of her trousseau and a dark silk printed travel suit is her smart choice simplicity and grace, with a winding sash of white with navy design, and a side-front kick pleat to make it different. tt m n ' I A HE cut-away coat of white with A blossoms of navy has those romantic new squared shoulders and Gibson girl sleeves. The reveres match the navy of the dress. Miss Hoopingamer has a forte for wearing straight-line tailored clothes and wisely dresses to her type. Hence, the navy balibuntl sailor with shallow crown, with its distinctive trimmings of white pique in brim pipings and crown band is just the right hat to top the suit. The intriguing navy bag with its draw string opening ingeniously de- signed by Elizabeth Hawes and is pouchy and roomy enough to carry a bride’s indispensables in make- up. Os course, the shoes that are to carry her on this memorable trip are of matching blue calf with wide straps and medium heels to make walking tours a boon and never a bane. We’re proud as Punch of going- away get-ups like this ... . and leave it to the lucky bridegroom to sub- stantiate these dictates of fashion.

MY DAY By Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt thought the District of Columbia should not only stand out for the beauty of its public buildings, but that its public institutions should be models for the rest of the country. I would, however, be ashamed to have any one visit the Dis- trict of Columbia Training School for De- linquent Girls. Never have I seen an institution called a “school” which had so little claim to that name. Buildings arj unfit for habitation—badly heated, rat infested, with inadequate sanitary facilities. Children are walled in like prisoners in spite of ami -e grounds and beautiful views. The girls are without an educational program or a teacher. There is no psychiatrist to examine and advise on the treatment of these unfortunate children, who at such an early age have found the Mrs. Roosevelt social conditions of the world too much to cope with. There is practically nothing but incarceration for the juvenile delinquent. I am more ashamed than I can say that this is my first visit and I am grateful to the new superintendent, Dr. Smith, for drawing the attention of Congress and the commissioners to the conditions existing in this institution. Congress has already granted an appropriation to remedy some of the worst features. It will, however, take more than appropriations to set this institution straight. I hope many other people will learn from my lesson—how easy it is to ignore conditions near at hand. We should visit all institutions in our neighborhood. Today has been another full one. The women members of the American Law Institute were received at 4. At 4:30 I received Gov. Green of Rhode Island and a little later I talked to six of the delegates from the Women’s Trade Union League conference. At 5 the Washing- ton committee for the Washington Cathedral came to tea. After dinner with a few friends here, I am going to the spring festival of the Amer- icanization School in which my husband's uncle, Frederick Delano, is interested. PAGE 24

WOMEN DEBATEWORKERS’ LAWS
By Unitt'4 Per**WASHINGTON, May B—Dele-
gates to the National Women’sTrade Union League conventioncontinued to debate today whetherthe government should take an ag-gressive part in protecting labor'srights.
Discussion of speeches by SenatorRobert F. Wagner, <D„ N. Y.) andSecretary of Labor Francis Perkinswas held.
Senator Wagner in his talk saidthat the national Industrial Rela-tions Act, which set up the NR A,was an “unequalled charter of the-common people k rights.” He saidthat the Federal government couldnot give up its efforts to do some-thing for the workers without mak-ing a “clear abandonment” of hu-man rights.

Solution to PreviousContract Problem
BY WM. E. M’KENNEYAmerican Bridge League Secretary
'T'HE element of luck is re-•*- moved from duplicate bridge
as much as possible, but luck still
is a part of the game. It is truethat, if you have a poor hand induplicate, everybody else playingin the same direction will hold thesame cards, and so there is noth-ing to worry about. But you mayget a very difficult hand againsta weak pair or you may play ahand against an exceptionallystrong pair, and they will mis-plav it.
For example, today's hand wasselected from the pair event inthe recent eastern champion-ships. Declarer opposed two ofthe outstanding players of thecountry.
By a series of optimistic bids,declarer arrived at a contract ofsix no trump. To make the handhe had to get a diamond opening.
The deuce of diamonds wasplayed, West covered dummy’sseven with the king, and declarerwon with the ace. He then ledthe 10 of spades. East’s singletonqueen dropped, and the trick waswon with dummy’s ace.
At this point, declarer led asmall spade from dummy, hopingto find the spade suit divided, butWest won the trick with the fourspot, declarer and East each dis-carding a club. West returned adiamond, which was won in dum-my with the queen.
Declarer cashed the king ofspades and discarded a heart fromhis own hand. Each began to feelthe pinch. He could not release

Miss Hoopingamer has a forte forwearing straight-line tailoredclothes and wisely dresses to hertype. Hence, the navy balibuntlsailor with shallow crown, with itsdistinctive trimmings of whitepique in brim pipings and crownband is just the right hat to top thesuit.
The intriguing navy bag with itsdraw string opening ingeniously de-signed by Elizabeth Hawes and ispouchy and roomy enough to carrya bride’s indispensables in make-up.

MAY a 1036
. MY DAYBy Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt
thought the District of Columbia should not only standout for the beauty of its public buildings, but that its publicinstitutions should be models for the rest of the country. Iwould, however, be ashamed to have any one visit the Dis-
trict of Columbia Training School for De-linquent Girls.
Never have I seen an institution called a“school” which had so little claim to that name.Buildings arj unfit for habitation—badly heated,rat infested, with inadequate sanitary facilities.Children are walled in like prisoners in spite ofami -e grounds and beautiful views.
The girls are without an educational programor a teacher. There is no psychiatrist to examineand advise on the treatment of these unfortunatechildren, who at such an early age have found theMrs. Rooseveltsocial conditions of the world too much to cope
with. There is practically nothing but incarceration for the juveniledelinquent.
I am more ashamed than I can say that this is my first visit and Iam grateful to the new superintendent, Dr. Smith, for drawing theattention of Congress and the commissioners to the conditions existingin this institution. Congress has already granted an appropriation toremedy some of the worst features. It will, however, take more thanappropriations to set this institution straight.
I hope many other people will learn from my lesson—how easy it isto ignore conditions near at hand.
We should visit all institutions in our neighborhood.Today has been another full one. The women members of the
American Law Institute were received at 4. At 4:30 I received Gov.Green of Rhode Island and a little later I talked to six of the delegatesfrom the Women’s Trade Union League conference. At 5 the Washing-ton committee for the Washington Cathedral came to tea. After dinnerwith a few friends here, I am going to the spring festival of the Amer-icanization School in which my husband's uncle, Frederick Delano, isinterested.
