Vests opening lead is the two of clubs, South winning with the ace. South sees that it is impossible to make more than his contract of three diamonds since his partner has a trickless hand and he him. self has four losing tricks. the jack of spades. the kipg-seven of hearts and the five. of clubs. How ever, South should at least try for the added trick. He should there fore see what would happen by playing out seven rounds of trumps.
 At the conclusion of the eighth trick, that is, after South had taken the first trick with his ace of clubs and played out his seven good trumps, the remaining cards would be placed as follows, if the proper discarding had been made by East and West. Naturally am assum- ing that East and West are making their discards without seeing South's hand, as this is not double dummy problem.

When you climb stairs. watch your step. You may miss a step and slide down half a dozen. Also take care on your way downstairs. Hun dreds of persons are killed every year by falls downstairs.
 The steps should be exactly of even height all the way from bottom to top-remember that if you build A home. There should be a hand rail on each side of every stairway such a small help may save life.
 Sometimes a housewife places a dustpan, broom or mop on a stair way, meaning to pick 1t up a minute later. She may forget 1t. and some one may stumble against 1t and fall. A torn carpet or q child's toy at the head of e stairway cause an ac- cident.
 In homes where there are babies or very small children. e gateway should protect the head of each stairway. Babies who hurt their heads in bad falls sometimes grow up to he serious misiits.
 Another cause of falling s the use of support which is not firm: 4 housewife. trying to reach n hish shelf, may stand on the edge Of q chair. If the chair tips, it may spell TRA0EDY. A short. firmly built step ladder is found useful by some housewives If you use . chair. DC sure to stand near the middle Of the seat.
 High heols are a danger to life and limb, In a single year. more than 4OO0 girls and women in the United states were killed or injured through falls due Co hiRh heels. according Co the figures of supervisor or viii come when aiI women will re. fuse Co wear highsheeied shoes.

On the last three leads of trump West had three discards. The cor rect discards would appear to be the queen nine eight of hearts be- cause if South held three hearts to the king (remember West Is discard ing without any knowledge cf South's holding) and the singleton ace of spades, spade discard by West would have ben fatal, as South's play would then have been to cash his ace of spades, thus draw ing Vests only remaining spade, and then put West in the lead with a heart, compelling him to return heart up to South's still once-guard- ed king.
 Of course, in this example West can plainly see that South has only the king-seven of hearts and can accordingly discard to meet the oc- casion; in other words, discard spade.
 East is compelled to make seven discards. These are the ten, nine, eight of spades, the six, four. three of clubs and the five of hearts. This leaves East with the singleton six of hearts. the king1queen of spades and the king seven of clubs. It IS apparent to South therefore that If he now leads the act of spades that 1t will be his last trick and he will be unable to make more than his contract of three diamonds. It is also obvious to South that his ace of spades cannot be lost because there are but four hearts out against
 him. If he can induce West into doing for him that which he has tried to do but found impossible, that is, apply the squeeze to his jartner, then can make four dia- monds.
 South therefore leads the king of hearts So that there would be no question in Vests mind as to tho solidity of Vests suit. Now tho the question arises-would you if you were West (be honest with
 yourself) refuse to take this trick iwth your ace of hearts and cash your two remaining good hearts
 when you know South, the declarer. has no more trump? East is squeezed on Vests third ! lead of hearts by his partner. If he discards the club then South will be able to make his five of clubs.
 and if East discards the spade then
 South will be able to make two spade tricks. All 1t is necessary for South
 to do is to merely follow East's dis cards.
 This hand demonstrates the thrill that comes to the expert bridge player about once in a lifetime.
 namely. inveigling your adversary
 into doing for you what you have tried to do and found to be impos-
 sible; that is. apply the squeeze to
 his partner and thus make an added trick.

100000 In the same year, Ernst g.
Ernst, big business accountants, re-
ported that the countryS leading
industrial corporations made better
than six per cent profit on their
capital investments. They analysed
the profits of 4o7 corporations whose
average profits were $40 per cent in
1890 and 1.39 per cent during the
last crisis year. 1921. The bad year
1890 brought more profit than the
good year 1920.
Frances Perkins. State Industrial
Commissioner for New York recently
declared that the average industrial
wages in the United States was 1,024
in 1929 This amounts to $3.50 per
week. And that was in a year of
prosperity With the tremendous
wage CT ting going on since then one
can mag ne the high standard of
