A QUICK DEATH RESULT OF
IGNORANCE

When cool weather sets in the
newspapers begin publishing daily
reports of deaths by asphyXiation in
garages. With so much publicity
and so many warnings why do these
deaths continue? This pertinent
question is asked by the Commercial
Vehicle Committee of the Delaware
Safety Council who wish to empha-
size that inattention to the hazards
of carbon mOnOxide gas often causes
DEATH
A rattle snake gives warning be-
fore it strikes, but a victim of car
bon mOnoxide poisoning doesn't re-
alize that anything is wrong until his
legs collapse under him. Then he is
helpless. His only chance for life is
that someone who understands re-
suscitation makes a prompt appear
ance.
One reason why so many people
are poisoned is due to the insidiouS
character of the gas. Gases like am
monia and sulphur dioxide cause a
choking sensation and will drive a
person to open air before the con-
centration become deadly. But car
bon monoxide has done its work be-
fore the victim realizes it. The ex-
haust fumes from the engine are not
sufficiently disagreeable to force
anyone to open the garage door.
The motorist may think it will
take only few minutes to adjust
the motor, but actual tests have
proven that exhaust fumes from a
running motor will render deadly
the air of a small closed garage
within minutes. A person may be
literally immersed in the gas and
never suspect it until he begins to
grow dizzy or becomes paralyzed.
The next state is unconsciousness-
the next death.
Perhaps the mOtorist just fOrgets.
He has other things on his mind at
the time so he shuts the garage door
and starts the engine. Every ga
rage door should carry a warning
poster.
Perhaps some are skeptical about
the dangers of carbon monoxide gas
in spite of all they have read about
it. Few of those who are overcome
live to realize they were wrong.
Keep the garage door open WIN
you start the engine. It's better to
shiver than be gassed.

Storing Potatoes

To Insure uniform supply of late
potatoes throughout the winter,
from IS to rs pc. cen3. cf the total
crop must be stored either on the
farm, at the shipping station, or at
terminals. The U. 5. Department of
Agriculture makes these recon-
mendations for successful storage
of potatoes. Protect them from ex-
tremes of heat or cold--from 550 to
40' F. is the best temperature. Sup
ply good ventilation. Keep the stOr-
age house dark-the table quality of
potatoes deteriOrates in the light.
See that the tubers are dry and lea-
sonably free from dirt when put in
to storage. Remove all diseased,
badly cut, or bruised tubers before
storing them. 1t is better not to
store them deeper than or feet,
or on a floor space large than IL by
12 feet, unless ventilating shafts
are provided.

RETURN QUAIL BANDS

During the past summer the State
of Virginia released over 10000 quail
imported from Mexico, all of which
contained leg bands bearing the in
scription Notify Game Department,
Richmond, Virginia" also a serial
number. The State of Ohio followed
similar program in banding and
releasing 900 Hungarian partTidges.
The bands on the Hungarian part
ridges bear the inscription please
return to the Ohio Division of Con-
servation, Columbus, Ohio" These
states have asked that the hunters
of Pennsylvania cooperate this fall
and if they kill any quail or Hun
garian partridges bearing bands,
such bands me forwarded to the re-
spective departments.
The Pennsylvania Game Commits
sion also released about $4,000 Mex
ican quail during the past summer
and these, too, were banded and 9TH
er states asked to cooperate in haV-
ing bands returned.
The purpose of asking that the leg
bands be sent in is to enable author
tiles to check on the movements of
the birds. In the past some difficult
ty has been experienced in securing
such reports because some hunters
assumed Immediately that shooting
a bird wearing a leg-band was a vio-
lation of. the law This is not the
case. Instead the various game de-
partments are only too glad to get
the bands.

With this unsettled condition the
commission came to the State board
which is part of every school COM
mission to settle the matter. After
a careful survey by members of the
State board it was decided to build
the school along the dirt road. Be-
cause of this and the feeling over
the two sites, the bonds have not
been issued as they should have
been in accordance with the State
school law.
The commission of the two
schools who appeared before the
board seemed as determined to hold
out each for their opinion, conse-
quently the commission adjourned
without coming to any conclusion
and the probabilities are that un-
less some conclusion is soon reach
ed the appropriation for the school
will be withdrawn and placed in
some other part of the State where
it will do some good.
The State board granted the fol-
lowing amounts to schools as extra
allowance for improvements to
their new buildings: Stanton, $400;
Clayton, 754, and Dover S27S.SO.

AS hand. The lesson to be learned
from this hand is not to make in
formatory doubles with weak hands.
CONTRACT BIDDING:
z should bid one spade and A should
pass. A player should have a much
stronger hand at Contract than at
Auction to justify an informatory
double. AS Y has only two small spades,
and thus no help for his partners
spade bid, he should bid one no trump.
B should pass and q should bid three
no trumps. His hand is so much
stronger than his first bid of one spade
indicated that he is justified in bidding
three no trumps. Ali pass and with the
heart opening by B, Y z easily score
game.
There is nothing more instructive
than end plays, for every player must
understand how to play them if he
wishes to be little better than his
neighbor. The following are two typ
cal examples:

AUCTION BIDDING:

AUCTION BIDDING:
No score, first game. 2 dealt and bid
one spade. Should A make an informa-
tory double or pass2 Even the advo-
Gates of the informatory double would
agree that A should pass with this
hand. There is no chance for game
unless B has a free bid, so why not wait
and see what will happen. A has good
defensive hand SO game is probably in
no danger; and yet his hand is strong
enough to warrant try for game him
self if his partner overbids one spade.
1t is a very common situation and
should be carefully noted. If A passes,
the hand will be played at spades and
Y Z will score three odd and simple
honors, total score of 81 points. If A
doubles and B bids two hearts, Y will
double and defeat the bid three tricks.
As they also hold simple honors Y Z
will thus score $50 points. The differ
ence between the two bids is net gain
of 273 points for the player who has
the coed judgment not to double with

Make The Garden
Ready For Winter

After all the crops have been re-
moved from the truck garden, it is
a good plan to remove all vines,
dead plants, and other trash and
SOW the ground to rye or some other
green crop. This will prevent the
earth from washing, and the green
material Will improve the physical
condition of the soil. If the garden
is not sown to some crop, and if the
soil is not subject to washing plow
or spade it and let the ground lie
rough through the winter This
practice permits frost to kill i'll
sects as we'll as to Iigltan the soil
by alternate freezing and thawing.
Many gardeners plow the ground
and appy coarse manure.

which Y will trump with his last club
and make his good diamond.
(c) Should B discard a spade, Il
should trump and lead a spade which
Y should trump. Y, should then lead
trump which z should win and thus be
able to make his last spade. In any
way, therefore, Y z must score five of
the seven tricks. At trick two, if A
refuses to win the ten of hearts and so
being forced in the lead, Y should
discard his last diamond and the prob
lem is easy from then on. This end play
is also very common one in that its
solution depends on the forcing of
discards. Very frequently an opponent
can be forced to discard to his disad-
vantage, so be on the lookout for
the opportunity.

Spades g, 6, s

Spades are trumps and Z is in the
lead. How can Y Z win one trick against
any defense?
Z should lead the king Of diamonds
and trump with the four of trumps.
This play will force B to overtrump
with the eight of trumps. If B now
leads the nine of trumps, Z should cover
with the jack and thus make his seven
good. If B should lead the trey of
trumps, 2 should play the seven and
so force A to play the queen. If B leads
the jack of clubs, A is forced to trump
and thus rs jack of trumps must be a
winner. In any case, therefore, Y z
Milford chronicle., 1930-11-14

must win one trick. This end play is 1
most important one and probably
comes up more often than any other.
When you have one or more losing
trumps, it is very frequently good
policy to trump in with the highest
and so force an opponent to overtrumP.
This force may thus promote your
partners cards and enable him II
make a trick not otherwise possible.
In this hand, for example, if Y shoul1
discard on the king of diamonds c.
trump with the deuce of spades, A j
must win all of the tricks. Try it OF:
