NEW people realize the numerous
Il small details that are concerned
in the matter of prevention of in
fictitious diseases and the great con-
sideration given to the subject in
hospitals for the care of contagious
disorders.
Laymen frequently ask how nurses
and doctors work in hospitals and
do not themselves become infected
The answer lies in the meticulous
care that has been mentioned.
In the Durand Hospital of the
John Mccormick Institute for In
fictitious Diseases a definite routine
has been followed for many years
to prevent infections with diph-
liberia and scarlet fever among the
nurses.
Special attention is given to main
tanning a high degre of cleanliness
of the patients, their rooms and
surroundings. The general health
of each nurse is watched closely.
Each week specimens of the Sc
cretions are taken from, the nose
and throat, and studies are made
of the bacteria thus found.
Whenever a nurse attends a pa
tent who has a profuse discharge
from the nose and throat, or who
otherwise is especially dangerous,
by reason of restlessness or cough
ing, she wears simple face mask
made of three thicknesses Of cheese
cloth.
The following rules developed for
the protection of nurses will serve
for any one who takes care Of a
patient with an infectious disease:
Do not nut fingers. pins. labels.

VERY often you can make the
' most of suit by deliberately
losing the first trick. This meth
cd of play, called "ducking," is
founded not only on the law OF
average probabilities, but also on
the expectation that the cards are
normal ydistributed.
Unless the bidding has furnished
information to the contrary, play
the hand on the assumption that
the cards of suit out against you
are evenly divided between your
opponents or nearly so.
AS a concrete example of duck
ing in actual play, examine the fol-
lowing explanation in which the
declaration is two no trump:
Dummy-holding spades j g.;
hearts 4 3; diamonds A K 6 5
4; clubs 8 2.
East-holding nothing of i'm
portance.
Demonstrating spades A 10
2; hearts A 10 9 5; diamonds
8 8; clubs A j 4.
West-holding clubs K @ 9 z.
West leads clubs Z and declarer
taxes with the Jack. To make
game, declarer needs eight more
tricks. He has three sure tricks,
Aces, in his hand
He may win five tricks in dia-
monds by leading diamonds 8 and
playing diamonds 4 from the
DUMMY The probabilities are that
the five diamonds missing are di-
vided three and two.
BY playing diamondse A on the
next round of that suit and fol-
lowing with diamonds K all Of the
missing diamonds will fall, en-
aiding the declarer to make the
three remaining diamonds in the
dummy good and giving him a to-
tai of five tricks in that suit.
Lacking a re-entry to the dummy
in any other suit, declarer would
fail to make more than six tricks
out of both hands if he did not duck
on the first round of diamonds.
This maneuver gives him his only
chance of making game.

Hand It to Herrick

Twice within period Of little more than year
Ambassador Myron t. Herrick has mixed common
sense ard diplomacy in manner highly beneficial to
relations between France and America.

ing of Lindbergh the second, the reinstatement of

United States for damages due to
unlawful condemnation Of American
vessels and depredations wrought by
French privateers during the wars
between France and England in the
eighteenth century. BY the treaty
of 1900 with France the United
States agreed to waive these claims
in return for the REIMBURSEMENT of
the alliance of 1778 by France, and
to make payment of them to its own
citizens. The claims then became
a problem in American politics, and
it was not until 1885 that Congress
gave the Court Of Claims the power
to decide these cases. Hundreds or
these claims have been settled, at a
cost of more than four million
dollars, but there are still some 1900
claims which have not yet been ad-
justed.
Who owns and governs South
Georgia Island?
The Falkland Islands, of which
South Georgia is one, were dis
covered by Davis in 1894, and visited
by Hawkins two years later. France
took possession in 1854, and a small
colony was established; this in 1866
was bought by the Spaniards. The
English took West Falkland in 1867,
but were driven out by the
Spaniards. In 1920 a settlement
was made by the Republic of
Buenos Aires. The islands were
finally taken by Great Britain in
1882 and in 1843 a civil administra-
ton was established. The colony
has been self-supporting since 1885.

by the Government in the Panama

Ten thousand three hundred and
seventy-eight employees are re-
quired for the operation and main
tenance of the Panama Canal, in
Guiding civil government and SANTA
ton of the canal zone.
What is the proper way to give a
pledge to the American Flag?
In pledging allegiance to the flag
of the United States of America,
the approved practice in schools,
which is suitable also for civilian
adults, is as follows: Standing with
right hand over the heart, all repeat
together the following pledge. II
pledge allegiance to the Flag of the
United States of America and to the
Republic for which it stands; one
Nation, indivisible, with liberty and
justice for all. At the words ito
the flag the right hand is extended

Stable and Sound

For once, at least, the law ana puDlc SenGl-
ment coincide.
The citizens Of Indianapolis will rejoice
that the decision of the Supreme Court in the
matter of "who is mayor?" runs even with
their own wishes.
The establishment Of L. Ert Slack in the
mayors chair for the remainder of the period
of waiting for the new commission government
brings more than a sense of stability. 1t gives
the people reason to believe that the Admins
tration of that office will be decent, honest and
intelligent.
Whatever skepticism may have existed by
reason of the unexpected selection of Mayor
Slack by members of the council who had con-
fessed themselves unfit and unworthy has now
disappeared.
The public acts and policies Of Mayor Slack
have driven away the hidden doubts and
anxieties of those who wanted only decent gov
eminent and he has firmly established himself
in public confidence.
Accustomed to a government by control Oh
political bosses, this city found it hard to be-
ieve that it was possible to have an admins
tration wherein some secret vender Of prlvl-
leges and protection and favors was not more
powerful than the man upon the throne.
That the people have been agreeably dis
appointed is but mild form of expressing the,
facts
There have been whispers and tips for
months that political considerations would de-
termie the decision of the court, that desire for
the machinery of government would find way
Of writing itself into the law, that the office was
to be taken away from Slack because he hap
pens to be Democrat.
The people will rejoice even more that
these whispers and innuendoes and "inside
tips' were false and that the high court has
decided the case on it's merits and free from
any Of these rumored influences.
It has been long path and hard one from
the day when the city was taken over by those
forces of hate and worse that were represented
by Mayor Duvall and his discredited city
council.
It has not been pleasant situation to see
the mayor of this city sentenced for purchase
Of his office by secret deals, appealing now I'M
der the plea that his promises of power were
not a violation of the law.
1t has not been pleasant picture to watch
city councilmen bargaining for their liberty
with their resignation and confesisng to crimes
while in Office
But the nightmare is over. indianapolis has
6 city council whose standing is the highest Of
any in the United States. It has mayor Of
whom it is proud-and his job is safe.
The people can now look forward to the
election of commissioners who will maintain
the new high standard of municipal conscious
ness that began with the selection Of L. Ert
Slack as mayor.

The tournament record of 279,

and six below the best Of the British
Open.
The North Shore course will serve

HARTFORD Legion
EVENS UP SERIES
Capital City Baseball Team
Takes Measure Of Locals s to 4

The Cardinals of Hartford evened
up the series with the local nine
representing the Eddy-Glover post
for the county league championship
when they took a sizzling game from
the locals by a to count at Wal
nut Hill park last night. One of
the largest crowds of baseball fans
was on hand last night to cheer the
local team on in its fight for the
championship.
Hurley, Hartford pitching ace,
was In rare form and he let down
the New Britain stickers with five
hits. He was a trifle wild however,
passing six men. He struck out
eight of the local team.
Schmarr, on the mound for the
locals pitched good ball but ragged
support handed him by his team-
mates proved to be his downfall.
He allowed seven safeties but his
mates erred five times behind him.
The Capital City team got off to
fast start and sent a pair of runs
across the plate on three safe hits.
The New Britain team did the most
damage In the fourth inning when
they combined two hits and two
walks to score four runs and take
the lead. This was short lived how
ever as the Hartford team knotted
the count in the sixth inning ON
three safe hits.
The Hartford team went into the
lead in the eighth inning without
making a hit. Two glaring misplays
by the local infie1d, stolen base
and a passed ball sent in what prov
ed to be the winning tally. The win
ners made sure of the game in the
ninth inning by scoring another run
on an error, a stolen base and a
single. The local legion made a
great bid for the game in the ninth
inning but the rally was cut short.
Schmarr opened the inning with a
triple to the second diamond. New
Britain lost its last chance, however
when Schmarr was thrown out at
the plate as he was trying to score
while Zaleski was being thrown out
at first
Schmarr led the losers attack with
two safe hits out of four trips. He
