By the mid: dle of June, all factories had resumed operation, and it was estimated fourths of those employed in factories 'at the time of the Sino-Japanese con-| flict in January had resumed work. * Thousands of small shopowners and household factory everything in Chapel have-returned to that district following Japanese evac- uation, Empty districts were repopu- lated two or three days after Japan- ese withdrawal. Many Chinese shop- keepers had continued business in the Jptomational, Settlement during the apanese occupation. Because their capital outlay. was so small, losses were widely distributed and more readily absorbed. T Status of Shanghai status of the Shanghai area does not encourage prompt expansion of Great- er Shanghai, a term used to describe the International Settlement, the French Concession, and the Chinese cities, Business organi.ations of all nationalities are therefore interested in persuading the Chinese Government to define the status. Various schemes have been proposed, some making Bhanghai a "free city," like Danzig, others creating a demilitarized area, 'with special police under joint Sino- Joreign control. Chinese business men 'and bankers favor some such scheme, but Japan's untimely suggestion that Shanghai be demilitarized has created popular disapproval of any changes in | that the Chinese Government will agree to any change for some time. 'Wor the present, a special Chinese po- Mce force protects the Chinese cities, and soldiers remain at a distance of twelve miles. But the complicated questions of joint control of sanita- tion, public utilities, roads, and so forth, remain unsettled. "Friendly Enemies" Although Chinese newspapers insist that" an "actual state of war" exists 'between China and Japan, social re- lations continue betweeen officials of the two countries here. The Japanese Consul-General gave a reception for the Mayor of Greater Shanghai, and many prominent Chinese attended. The Mayor gave a reception for lead- ing Japanese in return, and even the military commanders who directed operations in Chapei and elsewhere were invited and attended. For a month or two after the conflict there 'weré isolated instances of attacks up- 'on Japanese residents in the foreign concessions. But these have almost altogether ceased. Thousands of Chinese workers have gone back to Japanese factorfes, and are working harmoniously under Japanese fore 'men, Compelled to live and work ro _elosely together, these Orientals are bumentls.

Lacking such holdings in ~ trump suit, a player should deny, not assist his partner's bid, Provided, however, that the player does hold at least three small trumps, he may as- sist his partner's bid If he holds any of the following supporting values: (first) aces, kings and queens of the other suits; pride ability to trump some short or missing suit; (third) the fact that the supporting hand holds four or more cards of partner's suit, or three to an honor. Please note, that the values of the high cards in support of partner's best bid are very nearly double their sure trick or defensive value. "Ability to trump some short or missing suit" is usually valued as fol lows: A doubleton is worth 34 trick with 3 trumps and 1 trick with 4 trumps. A singleton is worth 1 trick with 3 trumps and 2 tricks with 4 trumps. A blank suit is worth 2 tricks with 3 trumps and 3 tricks with 4 trumps, "The fact that the supporting hand holds four or more cards of partner's suit of three to an honor,' 'is usually valued as follows: Three small trumps The ace or king The queen Four small trumps .. Four trumps headed by an honor 1 trick plus honor value Five small trumps 1% tricks Five trumps headed by an honor 2 tricks Two values must be placed on all high cards; First, their values in de- fense of opponents' bids. This is their sure trick value. Second, their value in support of partner's best bid. The latter valuation is much higher than their sure trick valuation because the chance that they may bé trumped is less and the chances of setting up a suit much stronger. Their value as cards of re-entry is also considerable. These additional values are practically double their sure trick value. ARTICLE No. 35 One of the best liked members of one of the New York Card Clubs is an old Professor of Greek at one of the local universities. He has read every- thing that has been published on the game, but has never been able to be- come a good player. while he has a bad night, and, when he does, his ners try to grin and bear it. The following hand is an ik lustration of the Professor's game, and is applicable either to Auction or to Contract: Hearts--17, 5 Clubs--9, 6, 2 Diamonds--Q, 10, 2 Spades--Q, 9, 8, 5, 2 Clubs--A, Q Diamonds--A, 8,5, 4, 3 Spades--A, K, J. 10 The Professor's contract was five spades and A led the ace of hearts and then a low heart, which the Professor won with the king. He then took out the trumps and led a small club from dummy and finessed with his jueen. The king was in A's hand, so that the Professor failed to make his contract as he subsequently lost the king of diamonds, which was also in A's hand. After the hand was over, the Pro- fessor said to his partner, "Well, part- ner, if the king of clubs had been on the right side, I would have made my bid." His partner, a very good player, replied: "You could have gone game without taking the finesse. After you had taken out the opponents' trumps, you should have led a low diamond toward the queen in dummy. A had the king, so that your diamonds were set up an on the last two in your hand, you could have discarded two losing clubs in dummy." This criticism was correct and the Professor apologized for taking a finesse when it wasn't necessary. His partner was silent for a minute, and then said: "Well, Pro- fessor, it looks as if anybody can teach Greek but bridge seems to require a head." Hearts--none Probl Hearts-- Clubs--8, 5, Hearts--none : Y Clubs--Q, 7, 2 TA Diamonds--7, 3 z Spades--J, 7, 4 Clubs--K, 4 Spades--9 There are no trumps and Z is in the lead. How can Y Z win six of the eight tricks against any defense? Z should lead the nin. of spades. If A covers with the jack, Y should play the queen and then lead the three of clubs. If A refuses to cover, Y should also play low. .Y should then play the king «of clubs. In either event, Z would win the second trick with the king of clubs. He should then lead the four of clubs. A can either (a) win the trick with the queen or (b) allow B to win with the jack, (a) It A wins the trick with the queen of clubs, he can lead a club, None Diamonds--6, 4 Spades--Q, 8, 6 Hearts--A, 10, 9 Diamonds--Q, J lem 3 Hearts--K, 8 Clubs--J, 9 Diamonds--K Spades--5, 3, 2 i' which Y will win and lead a diamond, putting B in the lead and forcing him to lead hearts to Z's tenace or spades to Y's tenace. A can also lead a dia- mond, putting B in he lead with the same result. A can also lead a spade to Y's tenace. Y would win these two tricks and lead a diamond, putting B in the lead and forcing him to lead hearts to Z's tenace. (b)It A allows B to win the third trick with the jack of Clubs, the result is the same. All B can make is the king of diamonds, so that Y Z must make six of the eight tricks against any defense.

A little sparrow cannot fall Unnoticed, Lord, by Thee; And though I am so young and small, Thou carest still for me.

You can judge their astonishment When, one morning, they cuw a great area of the veld covered with a milky white flaky substance. "Manna! Manna!" they cried, and promptly proceeded to collect it in baskets. It was found to be sweet and pleas- ant to the taste and in every way like the manna described in the sixteenth chapter of Exodus. A farmer in the neighborhood who gathered some of the manna describes it as looking like sn.all popcorn and tasting like wafers made with honey. Manna has fallen In South Africa on a previous occasion, and scientists have endeavored to discover exactly what it is. It is believed that it orig- inates from a kind of gum secreted in ercalyptus trees. This becomes light and dry and is blown from the trees by the wind. Some years ago there was a fall of manna in Palestine. An expedition sent by the University of Jerusalem found that insects feeding on tamar: jsk trees secreted drops of honey, which on the ground turned into small white grains and flakes. all himself has yet to appear.
