any of the old-time rubbers, but against

Famous Duels and Duelists
Randolph Fired Into Air So Henry Clays Family Would Not
Have to Weep for Him.
J. p GLASS
Il TRUST IN GOD SIR" HE EXCLAIMED UNTOUCHED

In the United States Senate John
Randolph Of Virginia had alluded to
the Secretary of State, Henry Clay Of
Kentucky, In insulting fashion.
Clay had formed a political alliance
with John Quincy Adams. Before the
Senators Randolph called this "a union
of the blackleg and the Puritan"
"A blackleg?" Clay sent challenge.
Randolph accepted. At four o'clock
of Saturday afternoon, April 8 1926.
they met. 1t was on the Virginia
shore of the Potomac, just above the
Little Falls bridge, not far from Wash
ington. Gen. James Hamilton of
South Carolina and Col. Tatnall of
Georgia, seconded Randolph. Gen.
Jesup and DR.. Hunt. celebrated ply
sician and surgeon of the day were
with Clay.

the offspring of humble parents. Never
theless, on the evening before the duel,

Hamilton" he said. st have de-

Clay's fire; will not make his wife

Their tears would be shed over his

one individual in the wide world to

His eyes filled with tears as he
thought of his loneliness. There was

Treatment for Whiteheads.

Dear Miss Leeds have quite a
number of eruptions around my eyes,
which I have been told are whiteheads,
Sometimes there are many more than
at other times, and some are quite
large. Will cream help these? take
oil every morning, so don't think they
are from constipation. 1t seems to me
1t is a sort of matter which sets on top
of the skin. 1 have quite few on my
eyelids. I am afraid to pick them off
because they are SO near my eyes.
Could weak eyes cause them? I wear
glasses for close work, but my vision
is good MISS NJ.
Answer-From your description
Judge that the eruptions are white
heads. They usually appear about the
eyes. and are like blackheads. except
that they are just under the outer
layer of skin, and, being covered thus,
they do not become filled with CRIME
and dust. They should be pricked open
with a steriliZed needle, the white mat
ter pressed out and then an antiseptic
lotion applied The following is good
water, sixty grains sulphate of zinc.
one ounce oil of sweet almonds. Mix
we'll and massage into the skin until 1t
dries
AS both whiteheads and blackheads
are the sign of sluggish skin, the
way to prevent their appearance is to
tone up the skin. A patting massage
is good for this. Pat the muscles OF
the face either with the fingers or with
a patter. Give the body a hard rub
down every morning with a coarse
towel. LOIS LEEDS.
Dear Miss Leeds--D Please tell me
how to reduce fat calves. My calves
measure 14& inches. ca How can I
reduce my abdomen? 90 l am 10
years old and 5 feet inches tall.
What should I weigh? HOPEFUL.
Answer-Do high-kicking and toe
and heel raising exercises for ten
minutes. both night and morning.
Take brisk walk out of doors every
day. Dancing, swimming, skipping,
stationary running and walking are
splendid exercises for building grace
full legs. (2) Please send self-ad-
dressed stamped envelope for my leaf

BRIDGE TALKS
ny MRS. JOHN MUNcE. JR.

The subject for today is the con-
ventional leads against suit declara-
ton when your partner has not bid.
When leader holds the ace and king of
a suit and Others it is we'll to lead the
king, as it will most likely take the
trick and give you the opportunity Of
looking at dummy hand at the same
time. Leader should always remember
that while it is often tempting to lead
low from an ace in suit declaration
when partner has not bid, this lead Will
give your partner false information and
in the long run Is a losing lead. III
there is no other desirable lead IN your
hand and you hold the ace OF suit
and several small cards of the same
suit. lead the ace, as you may catch
a singleton king, which would nave
been winner had you led low from
the ace and several small ones.
Another conventional lead against a
suit declaration when partner has not
bid, which is a very good one, is that
of an ace when holding ace and king OF
the same suit only. BY the lead OF the
ace first and then the king. or what Is
known as leading high and then low.
you tell your partner by such lead
that you have no more of that suit.
That same rule of high and low applies
to the lead OF an ace and then the
deuce or any small card, which must
be the leaders lowest of that suit.
When it comes to remembering the
leads of high cards the following table
is we'll worth committing to memory
and will take care of the leads of the
high cards when leading against suit
bid when your partner has not bid:
The ace is led from-If a singleton,
ace. king or any other doubleton head
ed by ace. Ace and others, lacking the
king.
The king is led from-Ace, king and
one or more others. Ace. king and
queen. King. queen, with or without
others. Ace, king, queen and jack.
King, Jack and 10 spot. King, queen
and jack.
The queen is led from-oueen, single
ton. queen, jack, with or without
others Queen, jack, 10 spot, with or
without others. Queen, Jack, spot
with or without others. Queen and one
small one.
This last lead is not particularly de-
sirable and should only be used In an
emergency, or when any other lead
would be harmful to your hand.
The jack is led fron-Jack, singleton.
King. jack. 10 spot. Jack, 10 spot and
one small card Jack, 10 spot and two
small cards. Jack, 10 spot, 9 spot, with
or without others. Jack, 10 spot, 8 spot,
with or without others.
The lead of the jack from the king,
jack, 10 spot. with or without others,
is the least desirable lead of Jack.
The 10 spot is led from-Ten, single
ton, 10 spot. spot. 10 spot, spot,
spot 10 spot. 9 spot, spot.
Whenever a nine spot is led 1t is
reasonable to believe that it is led as
the top of short suit.
1t is obvious by this list that many
high cards are led against a suit decla-
ration which would not be led against
no-trump declaration If your partner
had failed to bid.
