clarer discarded the of Hearts, and
West won with the Ace of Clubs.
Declarer's failure to ruff this
ninth trick placed West in a
quandary as to her lead to trick ten.
Her choice lay between her thir-
tenth Club and her King-Jack-9 of
Hearts.
She was loath to lead from the
Heart suit, but with no Clubs in
Dummy ana a trump left in that
hand. to have led a Club would have
given closed and a discard.
Therefore the Heart lead had to
be CHANGED, although West appre-
ciated that the best explanation Of
Declarer'S failure to ruff the pre-
ceding trick was that he had the
Ace-Queen of Hearts which he
wished West to lead up to. West led
the of Hearts; Dummy played the
Deuce; East the 7; and Declarer
won with the Queen.
Declarer then exposed his remain
ing cards. the Ace and King OF
trumpS and the Ace of Hearts
claiming the remaining tricks, which
Of course were conceded.
He scored 81 for tricks; 90 for
four honors in one hand with fifth
in partners; and so for a small
slam. No game bonus was scored
as these radio games are played as
the first deal of a rubber.

Inadequate Facilities Are

Complaints OF inadequate facilities
at two city schools we're heard by

Guy 2. Smith decried improper
heating conditions. gas in the base

Nc Is, Beville and Michigan streets.
A recommendation to install new
boilers there was passed by the
board on the motion Of H. Frank
Osler, superintendent Of buildings
and grounds, who said that the gas
heaters have been removed.
Resolution ordering a modification
in the plans for School No. 81, to
be constructed at Nineteenth street
and Parker avenue, was adopted.
Order 100000 Loan
On recommendation Of A. B.
Good. business director, a $55O,0O0
loan was adopted by the board, $780,
600 of which is to be appropriated
to a special fund to pay current eX-
penses and $4,000 for the local
tuition fund for teachers salaries,
until the spring installment of taxes.
The board completed the reversal
in custodian personnel, on Osler's
recommendation, by appointing
seven tanitors, a fireman and a
maintenance man: diSmissing a fire
man and transferring two janitors.

MIR. WORK, commenting on the
1N1 hand, praised Declarer's play,
saying it took rare ability to ap-
preciate from the first the posi-
bilities that the cards contained
if the King of Diamonds haI3ened
to be in the East hand, and the
two adverse trumpS evenly divided.
Gardner also showed himself an
expert by keeping all possible en-
tries in both hands, when he ruffed
the first trick with an honor. But
the most brilliant play Of the hand
was Declarer's refusal to ruff
Dummy's Queen of Clubs, therefore
throwing the lead to West, who had
either to lead up to Declarer's
Ace-Queen of Hearts, making both
of them good, or else to lead Club
which - Declarer could ruff in
Dummy, permitting him to dis
card the Queen of Hearts from the
closed hand.
Thus Declarer's discard of the
small Heart on the ninth trick
cinched his small slam.
The result would have been the
same had West had a Diamond to
lead. The hand is an interesting
illustration OF the elimination
play.
At Contract, r. Work gave as his
opinion that South should open with
four Spades.

FRENCH RESORTS
 FEEL STOCK CRASH
Wall Street Depression Makes
 Business Bad

Paris. July 19 - Once again the handwriting of Wall Street is be- coming an ominous symbol to this part of the world. Business is bad and the prospects are worse. The low level of American stock quota tions has caused the deepest depres- sion among the Continental multi tude that counts so much on the volume and contentment of tour ists,
 IL can no longer be denied that when Wall Street trembles several European capitals shake. Of these Paris is probably the most uneasy. The National Office of Tourism has estimated that in 1929 approxi mately oo0o0o American visitors left behind some 5,0o0.o0O,OoQ francs. or s2Oo.0Oo.Ooo. This is a sum seriously to he reckoned with in sketching the scale of prosper ity of the country and one counted upon in trade balances.
 Resorts Are Hard Hit
 Since this record was established the Wall Street crash of November occurred As a result the winter resorts fared badly Despite opti- mistic reports, it is no secret here that fashionable Riviera places struggled through their seasons under most trying circumstances. The more extensive hotels, repre- senting big interests. were the hardest hit and gambling casinos that were able to break even were indeed fortunate.
 Optimism was restored with the improvement of the American market and, with bright reports from steamship companies and travel agencies, another bIs tourist year was anticipated. But just as things were getting good the mar ket broke again in June and now complaints are heard from all quarters.
 Shopkeepers are worried and hotels are actually cutting their prices. Although it is not thing 10 talk about, steamship compan- ies and hotels are receiving flood of cancellations. In the celebrated resorts there is already consider able consternation. On the Riviera. Juan-les- Pins has been having a good many visitors, but money has been tight and the more expensive places are suffering. Le Touquet, popular chiefly with English and Americans, has so far had one of the worst seasons on record. The big Deauville season IS, of course. in August. but June and July are
New Britain herald., 1930-07-19

very important. This year June was a complete washout and July is falling far below expectations.
 Everywhere Wall Street is blamed. Many visitors seem to be coming to Frane. but they are not the free spenders Of the past, and on the hole they are not going Fl for luXuries. They are more Of the class that travels on a budget, re- mains for two or three days and then proceeds 10 other centers Of interest.
 Also it is apparent that the lively tourist prpoa ganda of Germany anl Italy is being felt here. Gaston Gerard the first and recently-ap- pointed high commissioner for tour ism in France, is working feverish- ly to restore France to it's key posi- tion as the tourists mecca, but the breaks have so far been against him.
 During the years since the war France has felt secure in its popu- laritY with visitors. but business and even official circles now realiz. that a fight must be made 10 hold it's own. Judging by the opinions of early visitors. adverse propa- ganda and unfair criticism have been detrimental to France.
