The Bidding

The Bidding
 The hand was played at contract and South opened the bidding with one heart. West passed, and North bid one spade. East passed and South boldly jumped the contract to four spades.
 The Play
 East has the opening lead and 1t is quite a problem. He does not care to open the ace of hearts as that suit has been bid by South. His club suit is only three cards long. He selects trump for the opening lead, and leads the eight of spades which North, the de- clarer wins with the nine spot. North's next play Is the singleton eight of hearts and if East goes up with the ace. 1t would be an easy matter for declarer to go game. ..
 East's proper play is small heart. Dummy plays the queen which holds the trick. Declarer leads a small heart from dummy and trumps in his own hand with the 10 of spades. His next play is the three of clubs which East wins with the ace of clubs. East re- turns another spade which the de- clarer wins with the queen. De- clarer than plays the nine of clubs winning in the dummy with the jack, and leads the nine of hearts trumping in his own hand with his last spade-the ace. Declarer then leads a small diamond to the dunn my's king which West wins with the ace. and now all the opponents can take is their ace of hearts. If a diamond Is returned, the declar- CT will trump in the dummy with the jack of spades. lead the king of spades which picks up the last trump and the king and queen of clubs are good in dummy.
 By refusing to lead trump, North, the declarer,( has success fully made his contract of four odd.

NAVAL HOSPITAL WILL
 SOON HAVE TALKIES.

Washington, D. C.-Talking pie lures will shortly be available at the Naval Hospital, Newport, R. l., according to Admiral c. E. Riggs, surgeon general of the Navy. An appropriation of $500 for this purpose was made avail able the last of August and 1t Is anticipated that the installation will be completed during the early part of October. The American Legion for the last three years has constantly advocated the installa- ton of talking movies in all hos pitals wherein disabled veterans are under treatment.
 The veterans administration has completed its program of installa- tion, but the army and navy have been somewhat behind in putting this equipment into their hospitals Admiral Riggs is enthusiasticall, in favor of making this form ol amusement available in naval hos pitals throughout the country.

OREGON TO GET NEW
 NATIONAL HOME PNIT

Washington, D. C.-The Fed eral Broad of Disqualification on September 4th, after considering by Veterans administration engineers and a subcommittee of the Fed eral Board on suggested sites for the proposed Soldiers Home unit to be constructed in the state of Oregon, adopted resolution rec ommending a site in or near the city of Roseburg. On Julx 3, 1880. congress authorized an appropria- tion of $2,000,000 for the eonstruc- tion of a Soldiers Home in the northwest.
 Fourteen months elapsed before the government decided upon the location of the site. When the ac- tual construction will begin is pro- blematical, but that another six months will elapse before the ground Is broken is considered a conservative estimate by those familiar with these matters.

Editor, Journal of the American Medical Association, and of Hygeia, the Health Magazine Vitamin B is found in many substances. Ordinary meats are poor in vitamin B, while heart, liv- CT and kidney contain 1t in some what larger amounts. The amounts they contain are about proportional to what is mound in milk, eggs and whole cereals. The average sized hens egg is equivalent in vitamin B to about one-sixth of a quart of cows milk.
 Tn other words, the amount of vitamin B in quait of milk is about the same as could be found in six or seven eggs. Human milk is perhaps a little richer than cows milk. The whole grains of cereals are fairly rich in vitamin B, but most of the vitamin is found in the germ.
 The use of highly milled products in preference to whole grain de- creases the vitamin B content of the diet. This raises the question of whole wheat versus white flour which will be discussed more ex- tensively in relationship to other subjects It is sufficient to say here lthat the diet of civilized man is sufficiently varied to include enough

CHAPTER Kill

The most important question that
confronted US in the preparation of
our forces of citizen soldiery for eff
cient service was training. Except for
the Spanish-American war nearly
twenty years before, actual combat ex-
perience of the regular army had been
limited to the Independent action of
minor commands in the Philippines
and to two expeditions into Mexico,
each with forces smaller than a mod
ern American division.
The World war involved the ham,
ding of masses where even a division
was relatively a small unit. 1t was
one thing to call 100000 or 100000
men to the colors. and quite another
thing to transform them into an or
gained, instructed army capable of
meeting and holding its own in battle
against the best trained force in Eu-
rope with three years actual war ex-
perience to its credit
A general scheme of schools for the
A. E. f. was prepared by the opera
tons and training section, but in order
that this instruction should be as CON-
plete and uniform as possible and at
the same time be co-ordinated with
other activities. l declared that train
ing should be handled by officers who
could devote their entire time to it. An
additional section of the Headquarters
staff therefore was established, called
the training section. to function under
my personal direction AS chief of this
section Col Paul B. Malone was
chosen, with Col 81. B. Fiske as his
assistant.
The British methods of teaching
trench warfare appealed to me very
strongly. They taught their men to
be aggressive and undertook to perfect
them in hand-to-hand fighting with
bayonet, grenade and dagger. A GER
tain amount e this kind of training
was necessary to stimulate the morale

Haig we were fortunate early in our
experience to have assigned to us Lieut..

of the British army to assist in this
Individual training.

ish officers also came to lecture at a
number of our schools.
