South would lead a club to the
next trick.
It was probable that North'S Ace
of Clubs would win that trick, say
ing game; but it was not certain
that it would do so. But if North
discarded his Ace of Clubs on trick
three, and South led a club to trick
four, as she surely would, North
must win with one of his trumps,
regardless of whether West followed
suit, discarded, or ruffed with a
high heart or a low one.
So on trick three, North discarded
his Ace of Clubs, a play sure to
save game, and dummy played the
Queen Of Spades.
After North's spectacular club
discarding, South's duty was clear;
of course she led club, the 4, to
the next trick. The declarer. West,
was placed in an embarrassing posi-
ton.
He knew North would trump I'M
less he shut North out with high
trump; he could see. his case was
hopeless if North had the Jackie
and another trump, as his play
strongly indicated.
But if the adverse trumps were
evenly divided, he could make his
game by tru1nping high and then
drawing the adverse trumps; so
declarer played his Ace of Hearts
on South's club. North played the
Deuce of Diamonds, dummy the
Deuce of Clubs.
To trick declarer led the Deuce
of Hearts; North played the 10;
dummy the Queen, and South the 5.
There was still hope for declarer.

have been Diamonds, and there was
a remote possiF ''ity that North and
South had a game in Diamonds II
North named the suit.
On the other hand, North had to
consider that he had three losing
Hearts and his partner might have
a like number. Furthermore, North's
singleton Spade might prevent him
from running his partners suit.
According to Work, nothing IS
more productive Of losses in auction
than the bidding of a long weak
suit: consequently he applauded
Withers for passing the opportunity
To bid three Diamonds, as he also
applauded him for his brilliant,
game-saving discard Of the Ace OF

sary for a jump Of one-bid.
If South's hand had had o side

For West, he recommended oid

evenly among the other three play
ers, and even If they weren't, his
partner might have the little help
he would need to make his game.
To Work, North's hand and the
previous bidding suggested too
freakish distribution for North
to be able to double the four
Hearts, and South could not go to
four Spades.
Therefore, Work considered that
the contract bid would be four
Hearts undoubled; declarer going
down one trick if the North at con-
tract were clever enough to make
the discard Of the Ace of Clubs.

Killing Cold in China.

A report comes from Peiping that the
severest cold felt for sixty years is now
being experienced in China and that
thousands of people have died from ex-
posture. In the town of Fengchen alone
$500 have been frozen to death, in
Sahsien, 1000; in Paotowchen, 800.
The Peiping police have reported 2o8
men and women found dead in three
days So goes the terrible story. with
an estimated total of $4,000 deaths from
the cold. Most of these were aged and
children. Most of them were under
nourished, in part the victims of famine.
At such a time when the bitter winds
sweep down from the Cobb desert and
the Siberian steppes. where the snow
lies in depths of many feet, the lack
of food tells horribly against the
chances of survival. Relief organiza-
tions are virtually nonresident. The
Chinese themselves have no reserves or
facilities for succoring the unfortunates
The American Red Cross has upon the
advice of a special commission sent

But for the most part houses have been

the foreign populations and the mis-
sionaries seeking to help the people In
their own localities. The fiimsiness OF
dwellings and the lack of fuel for main
tanning warmth in them cause intense
suffering to prevail whenever the tenn
perature drops below freezing. The
people can only protect themselves by
putting on more clothing If they have
any. Diseases sweep through the COM
munities in epidemic form and over
wide areas there are no physicians and
no hospitals-nothing for the relief and
care Of the sick. For this terrible situa-
ton there is no remedy at present.
The government of China, beset by revo-
luton and by factional intrigue, hard
put to raise revenues for administration
after buying of rebellious war lords,
cannot reach more than a trifling per-
centage of the area of suffering. Even
in cities close to the coast, as in Peiping,
deaths from the cold and from diseases
brought about by low temperature occur
in numbers that would in any other
country cause state of panic.

The Choir Perpetual.

There are evidences that since the
dawn of history, and even long before
that, man has striven to prolong his
memory on earth and to make it, If
possible, perpetual. His devices have
ranged from mountainous pyramids OF
stone to tiny ever-burning tapers.
Perhaps no one will have come nearer
to accomplishing such an end, although
that was by no means his principal
purpose, than Edward w. Box, the
broad-minded and generous handed
American philanthropist. From his far
Southern resting place at the foot of
the great singing tower with its more
than seventy mellow bells will go up
through the ages the sweet song Of
mating and mothering birds.
The tall pile may crumble and the
bells be made silent, but the feathered
denizens of the sanctuary his wisdom
and his love provide will continue to
give melody made possible by and
through him. To enjoy such requiem
and who dares say that he will not
enjoy it?-must be sweet indeed.

Boundaries and Crime.

The Seat Pleasant bombing case di-
reefs attention to a curious phenome-
non, easily explained by the strict
boundaries that separate Federal, State
and County jurisdictions, but seemingly
ridiculously when approached from the
viewpoint of common sense.
Had the bomb, which destroyed three
lives, been sent through the mails the
great power of the Federal Government
would have been directed in an I'M
ceasing search for the sender. The
trained investigators of the Post ONCE
and of the Department of Justice; men
skilled in the detection of such crimes,
familiar with the manufacture and use
Of bombs, amply supplied with funds
to carry them wherever the faintest
clue pointed. would have been turned
loose on the case. No boundary would
stop them. Nor would their pursuit
ever cease until the case was cleared
from the books.
But because the bomb was delivered
by hand. and not sent through the
mails, the Federal Government has no
concern with the crime. Its solution
was left in the hands of a county pc.
liceman, assisted by the voluntary as
signment of lone detective from Wash
ington. Several days after the crime
the investigating forces were augmented
by two detectives from the Baltimore
police. That came about when the at
tention of Gov. Richie was forcefully
called to the inadequate steps being
taken to find the murderer.
Now there is little or no difference
in the degree of wickedness or depravity
between sending a bomb through the
mails and delivering it by hand. If
anything, the latter act connotes
holder and possibly more cunning
type of individual. But in the one case
the act arouses the United States Gov
eminent to intense activity. In the
other the people of the community
against whom this outrage was COM
mitted are left virtually unaided and.
it might be said, helpless by reason OF
limited means and experience to take
proper reprisal.
The condition is interesting merely
because it exists. Our philosophy Of
government would not permit it to be
changed. Improper use of the mails
is an offense against the Federal Gov
eminent. Planting bomb by hand Is
an offense only against the unhappy
individuals who set it of and the resi-
dents of the political unit in which 1t
expodes.
There should be no political bounda-
ries to protect murderers. But there
are. And they are more jealousy
guarded than the homes that are
wrecked by bombs.

Vienna Deplores
Joy Ride" Motor Car Thefts.

Vienna will undoubtedly follow the ex-
ample of London in Furnishing the
nuisance, hitherto to everybody but the
perpetrators, of the appropriation of
parked cars for "joy-rides," the vehicles
being abandoned in the street whenever
any accident overtakes them. This
abuse has become of such proportions
that, in addition to other criminal as
poets of the case. the London police
have been fortified with an ordinance
that makes the guilty party in such a
case subject to from to IL months at
hard labor or to a fine of from ESQ

Sandwiches
Contraband in Valencia.
A B @, Madrid.-Different families
which are the owners of automobiles
have been employing themselves of late
In the introduction of contraband
sandwiches into Valencia. The con-
sumption of pork other than that in
spected and slaughtered in the city has
been forbidden by the board of health,
and the consumption of bread and other
baked products has been prohibited by
the bakers union, so that sandwiches
produced in establishments near the
city of ham and buns are distinctly
contraband Recently special
police service was detailed to watch
cars coming into Valencia from this di-
rection, with the result that Al automo-
biles were found carrying this outlawed
pork and bread. The sandwiches were
confiscated and the owners warned not
TO be guilty of the infraction again. The
whole affair has been treated loosely
by press and public.

New Officials
Barred From Their Jobs.
Diaro Del Concrete, Barranquilla
The new officials of public works, APP
pointed by Congress, presented them
selves before the Supreme Court of the
country recently, petitioning for the
possession of the various Offices to which
they have been nominated. The present
minister of public works refuses to turn
out the incumbents of the positions. and
the new appointees, who were intended
to bring about improvements in admin
istration, are unable to-begin their work.
The new appointments were made in
strict accordance with the law by the
Chambers, but until the present officials
are removed from the management OF
tn Cundinamarca Railway and other
public enterprises the same unsatisfac-
tory conditions will continue.
