Clubs are trumps and Y in Is the lead.
= and z van all six tricks against any
defence.
The solution is for Y to lead the
queen of trumps so as to pick up BIS
ten and leave Y with the two highest
trumps.' The next lead Is the Jack OF
hearts, upon which Y discards his only
diamond. 80 that he shall be able to
trump that suit when it Is led.
2 accordingly leads the diamond.
which A must cover with the ace and Y
frumps. Then Y leads his last trump TO
catch AS. forcing b to discard at the
sssne time. b must either give up the
aieht Of hearts or unguard the spade.
Whichever he doe Y adjusts himself
90 II so as TO make the last W tricks.
As In all problems In which the lead
as kept in the same hand for the first
two tricks. this one has the defect OF
an alternative opening. which some per-
sons consider almost as bad Ia a dual
solution, and which should be avoided
by all composers who aspire to be In the
drst class.
II z starts with the heart jack. instead
OF the trump, giving Y an immediate dis
card Of the losing diamond. and then fol-
lows with the queen of trumps and a dia
mond. the result is the same, the order OF
the tricks being simply t~fansposed.
With problem No. 341 the cracks start
on the new list, as Labor Day is
only two weeks way. and almost all the

There Is some stiff work ahead In this

posers have been putting rods in pickle

THAT WAR PROBLEM.
The solution to this little puzzle was
comparatively easy for those who knew
how to state the conditions in such a
manner that they could work II out by
algebra, the chief difficulty in handling
all these problems being to arrange the
facts in their proper relation one to the
other.
The proposition was that In a GER
tain ammunition factory where various
grades of unskilled labor were employed
II was found that Ave men could finish
In an hour Ala more screw caps for
percussion bombs than six women and
four girls. Also that sixteen men could
finish in an hour 1857 more than nine
women and twenty-five girls. and that
seventeen men could finish in an hour
1,121 more than twenty-five women and
fourteep girls. The problem was TO dis
cover how many would be finished In
an hour II the number OF men. women
and girls were equal. That Is, how
many would they do II there was one
man, n woman and one girl on the
Job.
A large number OF answers came 10
hand in answer to this question. some OF
the methods adopted in finding the So
luton being very brief and some unnec-
essarily long. The following from Ha--
old W. Hogeland is complete enough
to show my person. whether familiar
with algebra or not how such problems
are worked out:
Let NJ equal quantity OF work lone in
one hour by a nan
Let W equal quantity OF work done
In one hour by a woman
Let @ equal quantity Of work done N
one hour by a girl. ,
Then:
5 NJ equals 6 W plus &C plus 4i3
Is NJ equals 9 w plus 25 G plus 1857
II NJ equals 90 w plus II G plus l,12I
From the first two equations:
so NJ equals 9s w plus 81 G plus sos
so VI equals As w plus 125 q plus s,7S3

4 QUESTION OF WATER,

A brewer had two tanks which were
filled once in so often. and were always
opened simultaneously to drain into two
watts at different elevations. The pipes
from the tanks were OF the same diane
ter, but the gutter or chutes into which
they led were az different elevations,
one requiring only twelve inches of pine
to reach it while the other required
thirteen feet.
