There Is apparently no way to take more
than enc spade and two diamonds against q
heart contract. DR. !. H. Shelley and CyTn Z.
Hepburn Of Philadelphia found one, however
DR.. Shelley, in the North deciding that his
hand. with spades for an escape suit, JUSTIFIED
fireworks, did not make the easily read psychic
Of heart. but the hard-to-read one Of o dia-
nncnd East's three hearts were passed by
Hepburn and West went to four hearts.
Hepburn opened with the king Of diamonds.
Sure that his partners bid was "phony," with
out any high cards to help him in the defense,
he felt. after seeing the queen in dummy, that
the only chance to pick up the setting trick
would be to find the doctor holding the jack
Of diamonds. So he led his three to the second
trick. Declsrer certain that Shelley held the
ace Of his bid suit, played the ten and the
jack won. The ace Of diamonds and ace Of
spades then set the contract
II your partner bid one clab in the North

The NeaO queen Eugene Has

Eugene penciled her eyebrows black, 30
other women did the same. The custom was
old in Spain Eugene's own bright eyes didn't
need stimulant. but the women who wanted
the same kind Of light in theirs got to using
belladonna.
THE quiet charm that somehow or other has
attached itself to old-fashioned clothes Is
q myth. Empress Eugene. for all her bril-
lance, sartorially spee king. was more alert po-
htically than the so-called modernsts She
knew every political move. When Napoleon's
health gave way in 1865 she got him TO intrust
her with the French government and was even
made regent.
Eugene. waving . political scepter IN one
hand and o. fashion scepter In the other, de-
stroyed the empire and nearly ruined France.
Eugenies downfall came after her husband
was defeated by the Germans IN the Franco
Prussian War. and he was captured at Sedan.
The Empress Eugene ned 70 England, the bril-
liant court disappeared. and France was tern
BY mob scenes the red revolutionists de-
Stroyed the second empire and set up the
commune.
So the wearing Of Eugenies hat the
deDure little bonnet with an audactous eye-dtp
and ostrich plume may be . signal that
the Bolsheviks are coming to America.
For say what you please of its old-fashioned
charm, Eugenies hat stirred up . world Of
trouble for Europe.

Making the Sea Safe for Subs

LIEUT.. GEARING was in the after part Of
l. the boat ut the time. He rushed forward
and saw that a complete wreck had been made
Of the forward battery compartment, and that
already . fire had started
without waiting. he rushed into the burning
compartment and directed the rescue Of the
overcome inmates. Even though he was Of q
very slight stature, he picked up the flrst man
he came to. who was now unconscious, and
carried him to an after compartment, and then
ran back and carried out another man.
He then returned to the burning compart-
ment and found three men trapped underneath
the burning wreckage. He crawled underneath
the lighted mass. which was being supported by
some Of the partially broken floor boards. and
pushed the wreckage up with his back while
the three imprisoned men were pulled clear by
others In the compartment and carried to
safety.
Lieut.. Gearing then collapsed from the effects
Of the gas and overexertiou. President Cool
idge later presented him with q Navy Cress for
his heroism.

Another striking example Of the heroism Of
the submarine service was supplied by Lieut.

took place on the United States submarine S-49
while the vessel lay alongside q dock at the

Spring Of 1926.

The craving for pleasure excessive The
gAyer and more daring court life became the
more luxurious the costumes were.
People from other courts talked about the
freedom IN manners and conversation at the
court where Louis Napoleon and Eugene were
the reigning monarchs.
Eugene had been fond Of designing startling
costumes when she was girl. As soon as she
got on the throne she decided to be the queen
Of fashion too.
She got to work on the hats.
First, she set the neck free by doing away
with the sttn type Of headsear that hung down
on the neck and shoulders so inconveniently.
Awkward hats disappeared. In their place
she originated Q hood which served as . setting
for the face-the Queen Eugene hat
Twice year Eugene looked over her com
plete wardrobe She started the changeAbtlity
OF style that sways the fashion world today.
1t was said that she never wore the same COS
tune twice.
whole row Of feminine foibles followed
the wearing Of the Queen Eugenie hat
Eugene herself had shining red hair Others
wanted It. Thus hair dyes came IN.
Eugene had plenty Of hair for eurls which
she draped Mt her neck. Less fortunate women
had to buy theirs. False hair resulted. Eugene
curls sold by the thousands.

a Tie BRIDGE Forum j
The LOQney

"Just my luck!" the weakling cries.
"The same old jinx," he meekly signs.
IT couldn't guess my helpless plight,
That string of trumps was out Of sight,
I thought the king was on my right"
He pleaGs and walls and alibies
His hearers think: You yellow groanerl
You know you simply pulled boner;
Your ifs and butts do not explain,
Your whimpering is just bane,
1t only gives us all a pain;
You're just meaSiy moaner"
- 1T IS getting so bad that something ought
to be done about it. They are even writ
ing in about it now pleading letters urging
some kind of remedy. Two came last week:
One makes definite suggestion: AT
some future time won't you please offer
some word of ridicule for the player who IS
constantly bemoanng his luck and talking
about his hand; it would help the game in
our section moIe than any other criticism you
could make; would be SO happy"
That was from woman. We will share the
secret with her ard guard her name. for it
may be that hor hu hand or sweetheart is
the worst offender she has in mind. But it
is safe to guess that there are several others
in her circle. There arc plenty of them in
any circle. Even one would be too many.
Alibi artists probably would pipe down if
they knew how ridiculous they usually make
themselves. They do nobody favor, least of
all themselves. NOBODY wants their eXpiana-
tons. Nobody benefits from them. If they
know that their bid or play correctly cal
culated, the best thing is to let it speak for
itself unless some happens to ask about
it. That's an entirely different matter. But
to let out wall of hard luck whenever a
hand goes wrong is only to make ones self
appear cowardly. Maybe the vernacular
yellow" is a better word
The pleasure of all is enhanced when player
takes the breaks they come be they good
or bad, and when hand is over adjusts his
sights for the next one. Any habitual alibi
artist knows he is regarded: he has had
the fact pointed out to him upon occasion or he
has realized it from the reactions he has noted
In those whom he oisgusts and bores If he
Is one OF those thck-skinned individuals who
cares not If he is held in contempt at least
he should have sufficient consideration for
others to quit spelling their fun. From every
standpoint, the best advice that can be given
him Is in three words: Cut it out

An American observer will be sent
to Nicaragua for the municipal cleo

Maj. Charles F. B. Price of the Ma
rine Corps was designated by the State
Department to observe the Fall cleo
tons in order to make recommendations
and plans for supervision of the presi-
dental elections in 1882.
Maj. Price will not act as supervisor
OF the elections, a the agreement call
ing for American supervision of Mica
raguan elections includes only national
contests.
The State Department said the plan
of sending Maj. Price as an observer
would have the advantage of leaving to
the Nicaraguans responsibility for the
conduct of elections before American
supervision is finally withdrawn.
1t Is hoped" the department said
that by this preparation Nicaragua
will be in position to conduct free and
fair elections without assistance after

LONDON. July IL P).-The bed of
the North Sea was raised several hum

England early on the morning of June

The paper said yesterday that the
skipper, who ives sounding in the fog 20
miles off Marlborough Head. was sur
prised to find the depth to be half of
what was shown on his chart. Further
soundings revealed a ridge of hills
miles long apparently raised by the
earthquake
