Beetles of the same type are found in Egypt today. They have the strange habit of rolling their ball is placed in the midst of sand, and the eggs are matched through the help of sunlight.
 Why did the people, of ancient Egypt think that this beetle was sacred? Perhaps it was because of their wonder over the birth of the young through the power of sum- light. It also has been suggested that the act of rolling the mud ball seemed to them like the roll ing of the "sun-ball" by the sun god.
 Whatever the reason, Egyptions buried images of beetles with great numbers of mummies. Sometimes the image was placed on an oval base, and the under-surface of the base was marked with pictures of gods, flowers, animals and men.
 Egyptians believed that the beetle images placed in the mummy cases would help the persons bur jed.

The writer prefers double to show three and ne-half high card tricks and instead of asking partner for information 1t transfers to part ner definite information regarding the high cards held by &he doubler. With this definite information the partner of the doubler can often pass and turn the informatory dou- ble into a business double as shown in the following hand.
 South, the dealer, was vulnerable. Holding three high card tricks and 0 biddable four-card suit, he opened the bidding with one heart. West, although holding one and one-half tricks, cannot overcall as his best suit is hearts. North passes and East, holding three and one-half high card tricks, doubles.
 South passes and West, knowing that his partner holds three and one half high card tricks. passes. For North te take out with two clubs might only be increasing the con- tract and getting into deeper waters. South might re-double to tell his partner that his original bid was only a four-card suit and that he could support almost anything North would bid, but it might prove
 
 passes.
 The Play
 West opened the ace of spades, East played the nine-a e-on card-and West continued with the jack of spades and then the four of spades, East winning with the queen. East, feeling that his part ner's strength must be in hearts, re- turns the jack of hearts, which the declarer wins with the ace. South's only hope to make an extra trick is to save his queen of diamonds. there- fore he leads the ace of clubs and a small club, West winning the sec- ond club with the king.
 As partners lead of the jack of hearts probably showed the ten. West leads the deuce of hearts, East covers with the ten, forcing the de- clarer's king. Declarer leads the four of clubs, West discards q dia- mond, East winning with the queen East plays the king of diamonds, and then switches to four of hearts, which West wins with the nine. West picks up the declarer's last trump with his queen of hearts, East dis carding the four of diamopds. West plays the jack of diamonds, East wins with the ace and cashes the last trick with the king of spades.
 North and South have only taken three tricks. Their contract called for one heart. therefore they went down four tricks, and as they were vulnerable, this amounts, to 1.400 scopyriEht. lsso. NEA service Inc,

asked that the Secretary of State be
enjoined from accepting petitions for

Judge Shurtleff declared "the law as
enacted is not a complete workable
law"
The act, passed over the protests of
Democrats. who charged wholesale ger

districts. It eliminated the two Con-
greSsmen-at-large and gave the metro
politan area of Chicago and nearby
counties II districts compared to Is

Judge Shurtleff pointed out in his
ruling, as had the petitioners in their
arguments, that the fifth district in
Chicago had population of 54l, TBS

dell denies any knowledge Of the crimes

The Cunningham killing and the at
tack upon DIR. Don Carlos Leiva, charge
d'affaires, which took place at the time
Of the legation robbery, were connected

Ter, police ballistics expert. declared the
pistol with which Cunningham, a po-
lice inforner, was slain also was used
in the attack on DR.. Leiva.

in the possession of police for several

ded in the wall of the legation.
The liquor robbery was perpetrated
early in May and Cunningham was
