' The other night the writer was $a# ; ing at one of the well-known New York Card Clubs and supposedly with high grade players and vet observed iomJ • very fine examples of' '.Wha t not to do. For example: ; Hearts -- K, 7, ; . , "U•' Clubs -- K, J. 9,-#, 4 •» . Y t Diamonds -- IC, 10,8,6, J : A B t;-\ Spades -- none I ^ ;;j:£ AUCTION BIDDING: No score, first game.

He didn't stop t figure that his hand was worth prob&r^. bfy three tricks if spades were tramtiifj so that, if hio partner could take only. " one trick, they would save the game. He gaily bid three clubs, which doubled. B and Z passed and A no#_v decided to try three diamonds. Thii' also was doubled and the contract wadset for 400 points. Study this hand, tht bidding and the score and learn "What not to do" under similar circumstance*; At Contract, A would probably not have bid so freely as he did at Auction The heavy penalties at Contract hiavf curbed a great deal of free bidding.

'How can Y Z win five of the eight tricks against any defense? Solution: Z should lead the four "of hearts and Y wins the trick with the ace. Y should then lead the deuce of spades, which Z should trump with the deuce of clubs. Z should then lead the king of diamonds and follow with the deuce of diamonds, which trick A must win. Whatever A now leads, Y Z must win two trump tricks. If A leads a diamond or a spade, Z trumps and leads the eight of hearts. His queen of dubs must now make. If A should lead a trump, Z must still win two trump tricks. Played in this way, Y Z must win five of the eight tricks against any defense. It shouM B^rfote^ that the lead of the king of diamonds by Z at trick one and the lead of the deuce of diamonds at trick two is a loser. A should leail the nine of hearts, which Y must win. The lead by Y of a heart or a spade Is a loser. Played in this way, Y Z mutt lose four tricks. It should also be noted that Z may first play the king of diamonds ana then lead the four of hearts and let Y lead the deuce of spades. When he trumps the spade, Z should then lead the deuce of diamonds, obtaining the same result as in the correct solution: given. • . This is a tricky problem and should, be carefully noted.

Milk in Chicago wil} now sell for 11 cents a quart as the result of arbitration between the dealers and the producers' organisation. The farmer price, however, remains the same. When the possibility of a cut in the May price to farmers became apparent, Pure Milk Association directors held a number of meetings in their districts and found that the feeling among the membership was that-a cut in price would wreck them financially The Pure Milk Association, therefore, refused to accept the 26-cent reduction (per 100 lbs.) suggested by the dealers early in May and no settlement could be reached. Following several days of conference, Dr. Clyde L. King of the University of Pennsylvania was called to Chicago to arbitrate and whatever waa his decision both groups agreed to accept. After two days of arbitration Dr. King announced Saturday evening the following "The price of milk in Chicago will go to 11 cents for quarts on May 1.0. This passes on to the consumer under present farm prices more than the dealers save tinder the recent wage agreement. I have grave doubi3 whether the dealers can live under the swaller margin left them.

" ers actually cannot make ends meet under the new1 conditions. In that event, the producers' costs will be further analysed and a decision rendered by Dr. King. The reduction to the consumer is the third 1 cent cut in 16 months and brings milk in quarts 21.4 per ^cent under* the 1930 price. The price of pints has not been affected but remains at 8 cents- W. C. McQueen, president^jjf. the Association, addressed the membership over WLS Monday noon and stressed the necessity for them to continue to produce the superior quality of milk which Chicago is justly famous. He pointed out that the farmer members have a total investment of $364,000,000 and of this sum between $8,000,000 and $10,000,000 has been expended in the past three years to meet the rigid health requirements of the city. The Association'0 Laboratory Field Service has spent $300,- 000 during the same period to help the farmer produce a plentiful supply of quality milk for Chicago.

Girl's Mead Used as Tee by Golf Player London.--In a freak golf match at a golf club In Surrey, England, a girl's forehead provided the tee for a young professional, George Ashdown, and a less skillful player, C. Mansell. One of the conditions of the match was that Ashdown should tee up at every hole on the girl's forehead. Miss Ena Shaw, a young London nurse, agreed to be the "tee." At every hole a tee peg was fastened to her forehead by an elastic band. She reclined on the ground 'land did not appear to'be In the least nervous. The professional, conceding one stroke at each hole to Mansell, made some remarkable ahots from the unusual tee and won the match In seven up and five to play,- Paris.--Whatever arms cuts may, or may not, be decided upon at Geneva, France is taking it for granted that her present vast scheme of frontier fortification will not be effected and is pushing ahead the building of the country's great steel wall. Stretching from the English channel to the Mediterranean, the chain of modernized forts and pill-boxes Is due for completion in two years, at a cost of $100,000,000. The father of the extensive defense chain was the late M. Andre Maginot, minister of war. The great Hadrian wall in England,, dating from the time of the Romans, the great wall of China, even the World war Hindenburg line, were mere straw defenses compared with the barrier France has set up as her protection from foreign foes. One of the mightiest forts in the chain, at Hackenberg, facing Germany, has been do scribed as a man-made Gibraltar. Underground Arsenal. Deep down in the earth, the engineers of the French army have dug out an underground arsenal, fitted with mechanical appliances, whereby shot and shell can be rushed by a system of underground railroad to any of the smaller, subsidiary posts in the scheme of defense. The Hackenberg defends the great industrial area of Mets. There are other big mountains Of steel like the Hackenberg fort, but lome of them are above ground, like the Hocwald. These and half a dozen other big forts keep guard over the 220 miles of frontier from the edge of the tiny territory of Luxembourg down to the Swiss border. Linked with the big forts are numerous smaller pill boxes, or machine-gun posts, some sunk even in the marshes of the Rhine. Mounds of 8teel. -- Going along northern France by road, the traveler passes at regular intervals these mounds of steel, small or large, peeping from the earth, each with Its gun, or guns, ready. Cross-fire between the forts would result In the creation of what, the French general staff believe, would be an Impenetrable barrier In which no human thing could live. From the English channel-dOWn to Luxembourg, the defenses are not so important, being composed mainly of machine-gun nests.

With Infinite care French authorities have continued their . search throughout what was once no man's land, recovering bodies and, so far as possible, making definite identifies-, tions. There still are 220,000 French soldiers of whom no trace has been found and whose bodies are sought Of British soldiers there are 150,000 whose botlies are missing. The American graves registration service has 1,250 names of missing still upon Its rolls. In 1930 a total ..of 27 bodies of American soldiers were recovered and Identified. During 1930 about 10,000 French soldier dead were recovered, 4& per cent being Identified. There were approximately 2,000 bodies of British soldiers found, of w-hlch about 20 per cent were identified. Frequently the war Is brought back vividly by the publication of pathetically meager details by which Identification may be effected. A ring with initials; a button with a peculiar marking, or the fragment of a letter on which names still can be declphered-- all these are carefully gathered together aftd held for reference.
