The Solution

THIS is a case where a fineSse,
i which would ordinarily be sue
cessful for the opponents, is pre-
vented-and by the simple ex-
pedient of taking out one of the
cards which any successful finesse
requires.
South leads the ace of diamonds,
which North trumps with the four,
forcing East to overtrump with the
eight.
East then leads the nine of clubs
and South covers with the jack,
thus establishing his seven.' If East
leads the three of clubs, South
plays the seven, forcing the queen
and establishing the jack.
AS may readily be seen, North's
play of the deuce of trumps on the
first trick, or his discard of heart
allows East and West to win all four
tricks.

Too much is being made of Presi-
dent Coolidge's Arnlistice day adj
dress. 1t offers Europe little cause
to get mad. Neither should it
alarm friends of the Kellogg treaty.
President Coolidge did not re-
verse the basic policy of this coun-
try. He merely put Europe on no.
tice that the United States would
not again sell her ideals for a mess
of pottage.
Such a notice was needed. Ever
since we let Europe get away with
the Versailles treaty in exchange for
its approval of the League of Ma
tionS, the notion was prevailed that
we would stand for anything, pro-
vided our ideals were indorsed.
President Coolidge has done Moth
ing but state our disarmament pro-
gram in a plain, practical way. If
other countries want it, they must

mately 425, and payments under
the workmen's compensation for
such accidents wa approximately
$4,000 a year.
A reorganization of the lighting
system was made which involved
an increase in electrical conSump-
ton from 40 watts per employe to
to 100 watts.
The electrical work cost $4,000
and the light bill was increased
from $1,000 to $4,7OO, but the acci-
dents were reduced from 425 to ITO
per year, with a resultant decrease
in money paid out under the COM
pensation act to approximately
$4,000 year.
Obviously if such reorganization
in lighting were applied uniformly
in manufacturing establishments
throughout the country, the amount
saved in accidents and in compen-
sation would be a tremendous figure.

Applied Safety

The federal bureau of mines
trained nearly $4,000 underground
workers last year in first aid
methods.
That is another example of what
can be done by taking proper adj
vantage of scientific knowledge.
More than 100000 Americans
make a living in mines and allied
industries. The occupation is haz-
ardous. The hope of making it less
so rests on safety measures. Those
measures can not be provided by an
act entitled an act. First, they must
be thought out After that, their
adoption can be compelled by stat
ute. But in the end they are of
little value unless men are trained
to employ them.
The whole scheme of safety,
whether in mines, railroading, street
traffic or anything else, rests on our
ability not only to originate ideas.
but to educate the public in their
application.
