Hofmeier played the hand at four
hearts doubled.
The Play
If you will look over the hand care
fully. you will find that Mrs. Hoff-
meier apparently must lose two
clubs. diamond and a spade. How
ever, no opening that West can make
will defeat Mrs. HofImaier's con-
tract.
Perhaps the most difficult was
/ the one that was made against her
the ten of hearts. Mrs. Hoffmeier
won the trick with the jack and then
led the ace. king and queen of
hearts. picking up Vests nine, eight
and five.
From the dummy Mrs. Hoffmeier
discarded two diamonds and a
spade. What East discarded was
immaterial.
Mrs. Hoffmeier led the seven of
hearts. West played the nine of
spades and a spade was discarded
from dummy.
Mrs. Hoffmeier now led the queen
of clubs, which West was forced to
win with the king.
West played his ace of diamonds
and then the queen of diamonds.
Dummy's king won the second trick.
Now the jack of clubs was played
from dummy and West was forced
to win with the ace. and now West
is helpless.
II he returns a club it will be
won in dummy with the ten spot

A War Out of the InkpOt-The
first Anglo Chinese war, 1840- 1912,
was preceded by the seizure and
destruction of $1,000 chests of
opium which had been struggled
into China in the face of an i'm
perial prohibition. The smuggling
was accomplished by a fleet of
English and American craft.
AT the order of Emperor Tank
wang, a ruler of great benevo-
lence, the opium-valued at about
$4,000, 000-was destroyed. The
opium incident was a contribu-
tory cause for the outbreak of the
war, but technically the war was
caused by a refusal on the part

those who have so served their country
cannot be so expressed under any policy
we might adopt, but we can devise a
system Of veterans relief which will
assure that benefits are granted equally
to those who are entitled to them and
in need Of them. 1t is the purpose of
the Veterans Administration before the
joint House and Senate committee to
make specific recommendation as to a
national policy which should be adopt
ed. and 1t is our firm conviction that a

which would further augment annual
expenditures for veterans relief, we
must regard with deep concern the

1t is quite evident from the viewpoint
of q national policy and a balanced
budget that the veterans relief prob
lem merits the most careful considera-

branches of the Government. 1t Is
thought that the time Is propitious for
