The Bidding

lHc b1uullS
 South, the dealer, opened the con- tracting with one heart. West has q very weak ovcrcall of one spade. As the hand does not contain one and one-half tricks, it would have been better to pass. The spade bid strengthened the North hand and North goes to one no trump, East passed and South bid two hearts, showing a five-card heart suit. North jumped the declaration to four hearts which is a rather bold stretch.
 The Play
 When the opening leaders suit is headed by king, jack, ten, the jack is the proper lead, dummy plays the queen, East the five and declarer the deuce. The ten of hearts is led from dummy and when East does not cover the finesse is taken and tho ten holds the trick. Another heart is led from dummy and the jack finesscd. Declarer leads the ace of hearts, West discarding a spade and the queen of hearts is picked up from East.
 The declarer still has two losing diamonds and a losing spade. If he should attempt to finesse the club and guesses wrong, game and his contract would be lost. It would be better to force the opponents to lead clubs, therefore the declarer plays the six of diamonds.
 West, in order to protect his part ner's hand. jumps in with the queen, dummy plays small and East the nine spot. West returns the ten of spades which the declarer wins with the ace in dummy, East discardinS the four of clubs. Dummy returns the seven of diamonds, which East wins with the ten spot and returns the king of diamonds, declarer trumping with the eight of hearts.
 The declarcr has still been unable to get a club lead so leads the six of spades which West is forced to win with the king. East discarding the six of clubs. West now has no choice but to lead a club into de- clarer's tenace, or else to squeeze his partner by leading the eight of spades. He leads the eight of spades and the declarer has a perfect count on the East hand. He is out of spades and hearts and holds the ace of diamonds and three clubs. This leaves two clubs in the West hand. The deuce of clubs is discarded from dummy. If East discards the ace of diamonds, the jack will be good in dummy. If he discards the on the second lead of clubs and the declarer's jack will be good.

Hartford Girl Made Happy

MANY times a child has every WI thing to make her happy and still is dissatisfied. This may not be the youngsters fault. Often it is due to condition easily corrected.
 Take the experience of Mrs. Margaret Newbury, 21 Milford Street, Hartford, Conn. who says: "Nothing seemed to please Helen. She was fretful and fcverish, suffered a lot from colds. She was constipated.
 ''We saw California Fig Syrup advertised and got some. It relieved her trouble, promptly; made her bright and happy again. We have used it since then for all her upsets." i"
 Mothers by thousands praise this pure vegetable product. Children love it. Doctors recommend it to relieve constipation, feverishness, fretfulness, headaches; to open the bowels in colds or children's ailments.
 Appetite is increased by the use of California Fig Syrup; breath is sweet cned; coated tongue is cleared; digcs- tion and assimilation are aided; weak bowels and stomach are strengthened.
 For your protection, the genuine always bears the name California.
