INDIANAPOLIS. Ind. December
9.-Police are searching the city for
trace of three bandits who yesterday
robbed the Madison Avenue State
Bank of $1,000. The three robbers
dropped $500 in bills as they were
escaping.
The leader of the robbers had been a
patron of the institution. He gave
the name of Kenneth Wilson and an
address where police learned he had
roomed formerly.
When Wilson arrived at the bank
this afternoon with two companions,
Miss Rosemary Solon. a stenogra pher.
let him into the bank vault to reach
his deposit box.
As Wilson entered the vault he drew
revolver. His two companions also
drew guns and the three forced the
girl, the cashier, J. +. Davis: three
other bank employees and a customer
to lie on the floor in the vault.
The three bandits scooped up all
the money in sight and ran from the
building, down an alley.
A crowd gathered and cheerfully as
sisted in picking up some of the bills
the three robbers had dropped.

I'D Ado Bridge devotees enjoyed
IN hearing Milton C. Work him
self play a hand as Declarer i'll the
ninth Radio Bridge Game broad
cast from station WFBM, Tuesday
night, under auspices of The Times
Work and Wilbur M. Whitehead
were paired against two noted play
ers-John H. Smith of Ridgewood
N. j., and Ralph j. Leibenderfer OF
New York. These were the cards:
Smith, dealer, South: Spades, @,
j, Z, a; Hearts, A. K, j, 6, 3;
Diamonds, K, 10; Clubs, X, @.
Work, West, held; Spades, A. K, 8,
5, 2; Hearts, none; Diamonds, 8, 3;
Clubs, 10, 9, 8, 6, 5, 2. Leibenderfer,
North, had: Spades, 8; Hearts, 10,
g 7, 4; Diamonds j, 8, 7, 6, 5; Clubs,
y, 4, 3. Whitehead, East had:
Spades, 10, 9, 6; Hearts, Q, 8, 5, Q;
Diamonds, A. @, 4, 2; Clubs, A, 7.
Smith, the dealer, opened the
bidding with one Heart. Although
he had all four suits stopped for a
No Trump, he preferred to bid his
five-card Major suit, on accodnt OF
holding two doubletonS, which
would be a weakness in No Trump.
Work, West, with a two-suited
hand, bid one Spade, his Major
suit, in preference to his longer suit
of Clubs. Leifenderfer, North,
passed, as his hand was too weak
for a first round assist of his part
ner's Hearts. Whitehead, East, also
passed, we'll content with his part
ner's Spade bid.
Il
CMITH then went to one No
y Trump, as he had not been as
sisted in Hearts by his partner, and
as he himself had two shoppers in
the Spade suit adversely bid, and
shoppers also in Diamonds and
Clubs. Work passed, although has
was strongly tempted to show his
Clubs.
However, he figured that Smith
har bid a Heart originally in prefer
ence to No Trump because of some

weakness. InlS weakness mlgnC De
in Clubs; therefore, by passing and
leading Clubs, Work might make a
big penalty.
On the other hand, by bidding
Clubs, he might force en- enemy
back to Hearts, and also might mis-
lead his partner into thinking he
held some high Clubs.
Leibenderfer at once took his
partner out of the No Trump by
bidding two Hearts, preferential
bid which merely showed that he
had some support for Hearts, but
none a tall for No trump. White
head bid two Spades.
Smith bid three Hearts. After his
partners expression of preference,
he gave no further thought to play
ing the hand at No Trump. Work
then bid four Clubs. In spite of his
partners Spade assist, modern CO.
operative bidding required him to
show the two-suited nature of his
hand, thus giving his partner choice
between Spades and Clubs.
Leibenderfer passed, and White
head bid four Spades. The strength
of his hand fully justified this Sec
ond assist, although it would be in
terpreted by his partner, Work, sim
ply as a preferential bid between
Clubs and Spades.
II
CMITH doubled four Spades. All
- passed and Work became De-
clarer with his contract four Spades
doubled.
Leibenderfer led the 4 of Hearts,
opening his fourth best of his part
ner's suit. Whitehead spread his
hand for Dummy and Work played
from it the 2 of Hearts. Smith
played the 3 of Hearts. He could
tell his partners lead was from four
cards and therefore knew that Work
held none and that it was unneces-
sary for him to cover the Heart led.
Work trumped with the of Spades.
Work, studying his two hands TO
determine his line of play, saw at
once that his first objective must
be the establishment of his Club
suit. He must lose one trick in the
process. Apparently he also must
lose a Diamond trick for, from the
bidding, the King was clearly
marked in Smiths hand, South.
Therefore a finesse of the Queen
could not succeed. Moreover, since
Smith by his No Trump bid had
shown a stopper or shoppers il
Spades, it was probable that a trump
trick, also must be lost. Work S
chance for game depended, there
fore, upon his ability to limit his
losses to these three tricks.

TRADE IN PARTS
KEEPS UP WELL
Aggregate Business Above
Level of 1926.
3 Head-see Puzzle

The automotive parts and Access
sorry business is approaching the end
of the year with a seasonal shrink
age in volume, but in better posi-
ton than prevailed in the final
weeks of 1926. Reports to the Motor
and Accessory Manufacturer ASSo-
citation show volume has been de-
clining steadily since September,
with the low point of the entire year
reached in November, yet aggregate
business has run above last years
levels.
November shipments Of a large
number of representative members
of the association aggregated 102
per cent of January, 1925, as COM
pared with only 81 per cent in No
vember last year. The October index
was 125 per cent, decline from lac
per cent in September.
Parts and accessory manufacture
ers supplying original equipment to
motor vehicle makers had aggre-
gate shipments in November SO per
cent Of the January, 1925, level, as
compared with 70 per cent last
November and 1874 per cent in Oc-
tober this year. Original equipment
business has declined in the final
quarter this year less sharply than
car production, due to release Of
some orders by vehicle makers an
ticipating expanding production aft
er the turn Of the year.
Trade sales of replacement parts
stood at an index of 1872 in Novem-
Der as compared with 81 last year
and 174 in October. Accessory sales
which have suffered this year as a
result of curtailed new car sales,
declined from an index of 103 in
October to rs in November, as COM
pared with 83 last November.

pass the trick up to Dummy's Queen.
Should he play the Ace, Dummy's
Queen would be established. A shift
to trumps would be unavailing, since
Declearer, placing Smith with the
Queen-Jack, would base his play
upon the card led. A Diamond lead
from King-10 alone up to Dummy's
Queen was out of the question.
Smith, therefore, decided that the
best lead under the circumstances
was the Ace of Hearts, which he
played. Although it would result in
the establishment of Dummy's
Queen, it would at least force De-
clarer's strong trump hand. Work
trumped with the 5 of Spades;
Leibenderfer played the Of Hearts;
Dummy the 8.
Work then led the 5 of Clubs;
Leibenderfer played the Jack: Dunn
my trumped with the of Spades;
Smith discarded the 6 of Hearts.
Smith realized that if he over
trumped he could not possibly de-
feat the contract, for Declarer, en-
tering Dummy with the Ace of
Diamonds, could then lead through
Smiths remaining trumps, captur-
ing all Of them and then making
the established Clubs.
u
MUMMY led the Queen of
~ Hearts; Smith played the
Jack; Work discarded the of
Clubs; Leibenderfer played the 10
of Hearts; Dummy next led the
10 of Spades; Smith covered with
the Jack; Declarer played the King;
Leibenderfer the 8.
Work then led the 9 of Clubs;
Leibenderfer discarded the of Dia-
monds; Dummy discarded the 2 of
Diamonds, and Smith trulnped with
the 4 of Spades.
Smith was again forced to make
an embarrassing lead, this time
away from his tenace either in
trunps or in Diamonds. Whatever
he led Declarer must take the re-
manning tricks. He led the 7 of
Spades. Work played the 8; Lei
benderfer discarded the of Dia-
monds; Dummy played the 6 of
Spades.
Work then led the Ace of Spades;
Leibenderfer discarded the z Of Dia-
monds; Dummy the 4 of Diamonds;
and Smith played the Queen of
Spades.
Work then led his good 8 of
Clubs; Leibenderfer discarded the 8
Of Diamonds; Dummy the Queen of
Diamonds; Smith the 10 of Dia-
mondS.
Work led his of Diamonds for
the final trick, on which Leiben-
derfer played the Jack of Diamonds;
Dummy the Ace, and Smith the
King.
Work. therefore lost but three
tricks. He scored72 points in the
trick score for four Spades dou-
bled, and in the honor score so
points for making his contract and
30 for his three honors.
