Is there a method of removing ink
stains from a floor?

stains from a floor?
After securing the spots with
moistened sand, apply a solution of
one pound Of oil of vitriol and two
quarts of water. If this discolors
the wood to any extent, bleach with
a saturated solution of oxalic acid
If the ink stains are not too old. an
application of paste made of
chloride of lime and water will also
remove them. The paste made OF
chlorid of lime and water will also
remove them. The paste is put over
the spots in fairly thick layer and
allowed to remain until nearly dry,
when the layer is removed with n
knife or spatula, and the spots
washed with luke-warn water. Re
peat the operation If not successful

FineSSe Up to Non-Danger
Hand to Insure tho
Game, 4
BY Milton C. Work

The pointer for today Is:
The principle of flnessing up to
the non-danger hand should be fol
lowed even when it means fewer
tricks for Declarer; provided such
sacrifie assures game.
There are many Bridge players
who, either because they do not plan
and therefore fail to count the tricks
they can surely win. or because of an
ambition to win a large number of
tricks, fail to make the play known
as "cinching the game" although
game is worth more than any score,
other than one produced by an ex-
ceptionally successful double.
Take the following case: contract
one No Trump:
North
S.: KQ-J-5.
H.: A-Q-J-5.
D.: J-9-7.
c.: No..
West East
Leads Plays
Five of Clubs Queen OF Clubs
South
S.: AS.
H: 1927
D.: A-Q-10-s-5.
c.: A-6-4.
Declarer, while planning, should
note that he might win the first trick
and If he did so. and both of his
illnesses succeeded, he would obtain
60
first trick and his finesse fail, he
might not make his game. BY hold
ing up until the third round he can
assure his game. provided he be salts
fed to f1nesse the Hearts but not
the Diamonds. The Diamond finesse,
If it succeeded, will produce one more
trick than the Heart fnesse If 1t sue
ceed; but the loss of the Diamond
finesse would place the lead in the
danger hand and cost game, while
the Heart fnesse can lose and place
the lead in the non-danger hand, aft
err which game still can be made.
To illustrate, the diagram is com
pleted with the adverse Kings shown
in the most unfortunate location for
the Declarer:
North
s.: K-Q-J-5.
H.: A-Q-J-5.
D.: J-9-7.
c.: 1919.
West East
s.: 9-3-2. s.: 10-S-7-4.
H.: SAB. H: K-6-2.
D.: K-2 D.: 6-4-3
=: K-J-s5-2. c.: Q-7-3.
South
s.: A-6.
H.: 1887.
D., A-Q-10-s-5.
c.: AGA.
It will be noted that he would still
be able, If he played in tho way above
indicated, to make four Spade tricks,
one Club trick, three Heart tricks
ard one Diamond trick, or a total Of
nine tricks at No Trump. v
Another variation Of this question
will be discussed tomorrow.

LONDON English Chldrens Expectancy of Life IT Years Longer
 Than in 1846.

London. Oct. 1. LP,-The expecta- ton of life for a child born in Eng land today is Y years longer than il was for a child born in 1S4G, according 10 a report of Sir George Newman, chief medical officer of the Ministry of Health.
 The fight against disease and early death has resulted in statistics showing that from 1S46 10 1850 there were PA deaths per thousand persons, and 157 infant deaths per thousand persons. From 1921 10 1925 there were only 1o.9 deaths per thousand and 76 infant deaths.
 These figures mean" said Sir George. that despite an enormous increase Of population. without in crease of home territory, the total death-rate and the infant mortality rate of the nation have been haIyed in four generations"
 The infant mortality rate was per cent lower in 1926 than in 1925. Last year the country saved 4U.00O babies lives above the annual av- craze infant mortality calculated on the years 1901 to 1910.
 This also implies a better pbysi- cal condition in children from one to five years of age" Sir George reported.
 Diseases of the heart and blood circulation were listed as the mos, deadly Of ailments.
