The Bidding

~AS ooStAOh, llC WOulO be South one no trump, West pass. Due to the 30 honors in clubs, some players with North's holding will take out with two clubs but South will go back to two no trump.
 At contract, South would open the contracting with two no trump, which North would carry to three.
 The Play
 The three spot, his fourth best spade, is opened by West, dummy plays the eight, East the five. If the dcclarer were to play the deuce and allow the dummy to hold the trick with the eight, his opponents, by correct play, could easily stop game.
 If the eight holds the trick, the clubs would be started from dummy, East would lay off until win with the ace. He would re- turn the jack of hearts which the declarer would finesse.
 West would return heart which the declarer would be forced to win on the third round with the ace. If he then led the ace of spades and a small spade, he would be unable to get into the dummy to make the two good clubs. A small spade lead would be won by Vests king and the spade suit would be blocked.
 The proper play is for the de- clarer to overtake the eight of spades with the ace, then play his three rounds of clubs. East winning the third round with the ace and returning the jack of hearts. De- clarer would finesse, West would xxfn tho tLirA ror1pd of hao rfe x.,ttl, the ace. Now the small spade is led by declarer. If West wins with the king, the declarer has a sure entry in dummy. If West refuses to win. the spade is won in the dum- my with the queen, the two good clubs led, and the diamond finesse taken, which gives the declarer three no trump.

 The play to the first trick very often governs the success or the failure of a hand. Keen play is re- quired by the declarer to go game in the following hand if he makes a mistake on the first trick. Good play on the part of the opponent will defeat his contract.

ACCIDENT ON
 MERIDEN ROAD Auto Truck of Wet Wash Laundry Skidded and
 Crashed Into Pole THE DRIVER NOT HURT

An auto truck skidded last eve- ming on the Meriden road, at the intersection of the Woodtic road and ended short merry-go-round by crashing into telegraph pole. The machine was damaged and the pole ended its period of usefulness to it's owners. It was knocked down. A gang of workmen from the Connecti- cut Light & Power company later re- placed the wrecked pole with a new one and adjusted several wires, which were carried down in the crash.
 The truck the property of the Wa terbury Wet Wash laundry, was op- erated by Herman Morin of 127S East Main street. The operator es- capped injury. The police received ;L report of the accident later. Slippery pavement was the only exclamation.

GOOD TEETH ARE VITAL
TO HEALTH OF CHILDREN
Provide Expectant Mothers With Special Diet to
Help Make Strong Teeth for the Children

After a child gets old enough to
eat, 1t is customary to feed it food
material that has been sieved or
granulated in various ways. It is, of
course, important to adapt the food
to the intestinal tract of the child.
At the same time, it is important to
each the child to chew properly.
Small pieces Of food may be given
to the child, and its mother or nurse
should feed the child slowly and see
to it that one mouthful Is thoroughly
chewed or swallowed before more
food Is given.
DR.. Shaw suggests as a good tooth
building menu for a child over two
years Of age the, following diet:
BREAKFAST - Raw apple.
Cooked cereal. Crisp toast or
stale bread and butter. Milk to
drink.
DINNER-Split pea soup with
croutons. Rare roast beet. Baked
potatoe. Spinach. Stale whole
wheat bread and butter. Rice
pudding. Milk to drink.
sUPPER-Stewed fruit (apple
sauce). Cooked cereal. Stale
whole wheat bread and butter.
Milk to drink.
Certain foods Are considered to be
Of special value because they help
to cleanse the teeth and gums and
because they have q high content OF
calcium. The list includes fresh
fruits, such a. apples, toasted breads,
and celery, radishes, cabbage. carrots
and cauliflower.

The Toy Soldier Under Fire
minneapolis Tribune)

The French pacifists who are at
tempting to remould the smartly uni
formed and gaily colored toy soldier
into a drab and tattered thing of tin
must find time hanging heavily on
their hands. These we'll intentioned
individuals have an idea that men war
partly because they have been led to
believe as children maneuverinr dap
per fighting figures on the nursery
floor, that war is a glorious and ro-
mantle activity. That men fought
centuries before the first tin soldier
turned his painted and immobile face
toward the enemy is q fact which
these paciftsts choose to overlook.
They are apparently proceeding on
the theory that every child who is at
tracted by tin soldiers will want to be
q warrior later on, a theory which is
just about as plausible. on the face
Of 1t, as one which holds that every
child who owns a tool chest will ulti-
mately insist on taking up the trade
Of carpentry. The fact of the matter
Is that the child likes to play with toy
soldiers because he is born with GER
tain pugnacious instincts, and that he
does not acquire these instincts by
the simple process of marshaling di-
minutiye metal figures along the nur-
sery front. A toy soldier which looks
as II 1t had been dragged through a
l0-year campaign is not apt to make
war seem any more attractive. or any
less attractive, than the immaculate
and gorgeous kind with which the
world Is now familiar. Man responded
to the urge to battle not only before
there were any toy soldiers to incite
his war lust as q youngster, but be.
fore there were any military bands,
brass buttons, peacock uniforms or
other military trappings Of the sort
which are commonly supposed to be-
tray him into the notion that war is
just a pretty pageant.
It will take something more than
the metamorphcsis of the tin soldier
into q metal weary Willie, we suspect,
to convince the child that fighting
does not pay. To raid the toy coun-
tiers in q nation which glorifies Ma
poleon and votes its millions to MAIN
tain the metal soldiers living coun-
terpart would seem, at least, to be q
little futile even II 1t is not downright
silly and absurd.
