A. A.A. FIGHTS UNFIT
AUTOS ON STREETS
Local Division Asks Contin.
ued Efforts Through Po.
lice Inspection.

Continued day-to-day efforts to ban
mechanically unfit automobiles from the
streets of Washington through sys-
tematic police inspection was recon-
mended to the Commissioners today by
the District division, American Auto
mobile Association.
A similar plan of vehicle inspection
in the interest of safety is being ad-
vocated by Traffic Director William A.
Van Duzer. in cooperation with motor
vehicle administrators of nearby Mary
land and Virginia.
In its recommendations to the Com
missioners, the automobile club COM
mended the efforts of the Traffic Bu-
reau for the fact that more than 5000
mechanical inspections have been ef-
fected in less than a year past despite
the small force at present assigned to
this work.
AS result of these efforts" the
statement continued, large numbers of
unsafe vehicles have had defects in
their brakes. lights or other safety
equipment corrected, or further use of
the vehicles prohibited until repaired.
Our committee feels that through a
reasonable increase in these official in
spections by trained police officers a
decided improvement can be attained
within short time in the mechanical
condition of automobiles being operated
in the District" Immediate steps were
recommended to put the suggestion into
effect.

r us mind at last cleared Of the
delirium caused by fever toxins
but still too weak to raise his
i i head from the pillow, DR.. Rolla
E. Dyar, assistant director OF
the National Institute Of Health, has
resumed active direction OF the Public
Eea tn Services typhus fever investi-
cations from his bed in Naval Hospital.
For the first time yesterday DR.. Dyar
was able to receive visitors. except for
his assistants, since he was stricken
in the course of his experiments. He
was bitten accidentally by one OF the
in guinea pigs.
Supposedly Milder.
The disease which attacked DR.. Dyar
was the American endemic typhuS, a
slightly different and supposedly milder
form than the European typhus, or jail
fever, which has been responsible 1or
some OF the worst epidemics in history.
Even in the semi-delirium DR.. Dyar
realized that his own ill-fortune might
be fortunate event in the study OF the
disease. Hitherto ii had been necessary
to carry on all the experiments with
animals and the findings might not
apply strictly to humans.
DR.. Dyar previously had established
that the carrying agent of the Ameri-
can typhus was the rat flea. The
European typhus is spread by human
body lice. 1t was not known, however.
but that the body louse might spread
both forms. H. directed that some OF
these lice be found. allowed to feed on
his body, and then placed en- the ex-
perimental guinea pigs.
An intensive search was made by
Public Health agents in both Washing
ton and Baltimore for some human lice
but this is the wrong season for them
Hunts through the slums of both cities
failed to reveal any. So it WIS neces-
sarv to continue the work with rat f1eas
These have been fed on DR.. Dyars blood
and then transferred to the animals in
order to make certain that the disease
can be transferred in this way. The
results have not vet been announced.

It certainly looks as if the de- clarer must now lose spade and @ diamond. Can you play the hand out for six odd?
 The proper procedure is for you to lead a heart and win in dummy with the king. Now return the ace of hearts and discard a small club. A small club should now be led to the declarer's ace and the jack of clubs returned, wjn- ming in dummy with the queen. The king of clubs should be the next play, when West follows the declarer discards the six of dia- monds.
 DecIarer should now play the deuce of diamonds from dummy, but should not take the finesse. It is quite true that if he finds the king of diamonds in the West hand. he would be assured of q small slam, but supposing the king should be in the East hand :? Tn that case, if the dec1arer were to play the queen, East would win with the king and immediately return diamond. The proper play Is for the declarer to go right up with the ace and now return the queen of diamonds. It makes no difference to him whether East or West now holds the king. Tn this case, East held 1t and would win the trick, He would return either a heart or q club which West would now be forced to trump with small spade. declar- CT would over-trump with the eight and would win the last two tricks with the queen and jack of spades.
 A neat end play for six odd at spades. Now, look the hand over and see how simple 1t is to make six odd at no trump which, with out the honor count. is larger score. Of course. brilliant play is well rewarded in the hand. but a slip would have been disaStr0us (Copyright 1892 NEA Service. Incl

The Bidding
 Under the one over one system. South would start with one heart. North would bid one spade. He need not put in jump shift bid as his one spade requires South to bid again. South would respond with one no trump to show q four card heart suit. To justify an original bid, South would have to hold at least the ace and king of hearts and tine king of diamonds or king of clubs. With that in- formation North is practically as- sured of at least six odd and now his 100 honors in spades fnhu- ences him to jump the contract to five spades. South would then go to six spades.

 East's opening lead would be the jack of hearts from the jack ten mine, which North, the de- clarer, would win with the queen. The ace and king of spades would then be led by the dccIarer and East would show out on the sec ond round. discarding a diamond
