and South, the dealer, opened the bidding with one club. West over- called with one heart, North holding two and one-half high-card tricks and a strong biddable suit, forced with two spades. East gladly passed and South carried the declaration to four spades which closed the con- tracing.
 The Play
 East opens the king of hearts, the top of suit bid by partner, and it holds the trick. He continues with the five, West winning with the queen. West returns the ace of hearts, declarer plays the nine. The only play that will defeat the declar- CTS contract is for East to trump his partners ace of. hearts so that he can lead through the clubs or diamonds, which in either case will stop the declarer from going game.
 If he were to refuse to trump, bad lead. If he led heart, declar- CT would trump high and discard the nine of diamonds. in dummy. If he led small diamond, declar- er's ten spot would hold the trick and the third diamond could be ruffed. If he returned a small club, the dummy would win with the nine or jack depending upon whether East played small one or the ten spots. The ace of clubs would be led and a diamond discarded-then the queen of clubs. When West covered with the king, declarer would trump and would discard his last losing dia- mond on the good jack of clubs. This hand well emphasizes the fact that there is no such thing in bridge as the word never"

This message is directed to the men and women of Wa terbury who know, through actual experience, that price alone is a very small factor in economy. We ask you to try Shalett's. We want you to measure it's results with ordi- nary cleaning methods. We urge you to give it every test of comparison, to determine whether or not Shalett's is the best economy in dry cleaning today. See how much cleaner your garments ap- pear. Note how much longer they stay clean. Notice how much longer they last, retain ing their fresh, new appear ance. Surely, here is cleaning economy much more import ant and worth while than price consideration.

PUBLICITY NAN
TO REMAIN UPON
DISTRICT roll

Politics enlivened this mornings
session OF the Imperial Irrigation
district board of directors with
Carlton Joy, publicity director, and
his salary causing the fireworks.
w. F. Beal arose and announced
that he wished to go on record as
being opposed to district employees
salaries being changed without the
matter being taken up before the
/ board in regular session. He de-
clared he considered such. action
poor public policy.
Mark Rose said he agreed with
Beal that the policy was not a good
one but that such had been the
custom Of the district for years.
| The matter of salary changes was
left to the heads of departments.
Thereupon Beal moved that joys
salary be cut from $3.50 to 500 q
month. There was no second to
/ the motion.
AT this point G. w. Brockman
said that il Beal would Withdraw
! the motion and make one calling
for the dismissal of JOY, he would
accept it. He called upon Ira Aten
/ TO take the chair at this point.
Beal made the motion that joy
services as publicity director be dis
pensed with on and after July l.
/ Brockman seconded the motion and
the vote stood Brockman, yes;
Aten, no: Rose, no; Blair, no; Beal
yes. The motion thus was lost
and Joy remains on the payroll.
Fireworks began when mention
was made of an article appearing
in a recent issue Of the Westmor-
! land Mail. An informal discussion
Of the article led TO serious express
SIGN of opinion until finally the
pyrotechnic exhibition was in full
play.
All Have Opinions
Rose said he always was IN favor
of the board having something tc
say about salary changes OF district
employees.
w. O. Blair explained that in his
opinion the heads of department,
are well qualified to fix salaries a,
they have closer relationships viii
employees than do the directors.
When the motion was made bJ
! Rose that no increases be made II
salaries of district employees with
out the authorization Of the board
Aten seconded it. All board mem.
bers but Blair voted in favor OF It
The board now Will exercise auth
ority in salary increases Of all eX'
cept elective offices.
The board recessed for Luncheon
