Interesting Bridge Hands

had been bid adversely. He
nearly caught the declarer
mapping. Just in time B
thought of the necessity of
dropping dummy's K upon
the first lead, so as to provide
entry to the declaring hand.
Having taken in his first
trick, z led a low diamond. 1t
did no damage, as the declarer
would take a finesse without re-
gard to the person opening the
suit. Having won the second
trick with dummy's @ of dia-
monds, dummy's j of clubs was
led, and overtaken with the de-
clarer's @. The 9 of hearts
was led, and then the j of
hearts was led, without z COW
ering with his K.
There was no hurry about
picking up the K of trumps.
The declarer led off his three
good clubs. Upon them three
low spades were discarded from
dummy. 2 followed suit on the
first club lead. There appear
ed to be no advantage in trump
ing the next two clubs led, SO z
discarded upon one of them his
6 of diamonds and upon the
other z let go his lowest spade.
Y discarded two diamonds.
Having run off all his Clubs,
the declarer next led his low
est Heart, picking up rs K.
The declarer was a canny soul.
He would not take a chance
that z might ruff Diamond
if that suit were to be led be-
fore the last Trump had been
pulled from opponents.
Having taken rs last Heart
dummy's Ace of Diamonds was
led. Of course B had to give
two Spade tricks to z, regard
less of how that suit was led.
The first trick had been lost
to rs Ace of Clubs. The
eleventh and twelfth tricks we're
taken by rs Ace and @ of
Spades, but the last trick was
won by the declaring side, as
both declarer and dummy held
a Trump.
, B made game at Hearts. 1t
was a fine shift of make. He
would have won the same num-
ber of tricks, but four-odd at
a minor make would not have
yielded a game.
The opening lead against No
Trumps, if played by A. would
have been a Diamond. The
first trick would have been
won by the declarer. He would
have led his K and of Clubs,
and z would have let him hold
those two tricks. Or A might
have at once started to estab-
liSh his Hearts. In any event
A could not have done we'll at
No-TrumpS. Hearts was the
proper declaration for ABB.

By LOGAN CLENDENlNG, NJ. d,
The standard of the efficacy
of a chemical disinfectant
is the so-called carbolic co.
efficient. Roughly, the test is
made by adding a definite
amount of a culture of typhoid
bacilli to definite amounts of
definite concentrations of the
chemical to be tested. At in.
tervals of from 2la to l2l2
minutes the solutions are tested
to determine if any germs are
AIIVe.
If the chemical under test
kills the culture in a higher
solution than carbolic acid. its
coefficient is above l. If it
falls below, the coefficient is
less than /. Thus, if the culture
of germs is killed by l to 90
carbolic acid solution, and by
a / to 900 solution of the test
chemical. the carbolic coeffi,
cient of the tested disinfectant
is said to be 10.
Carbolic acid is used as the
standard only for convenience,
not because it is necessarily
the best or the strongest dis
infectant, just as the freezing
point of water is used as
standard of temperature, not
because it is the ideal tempera-
ture.
1t is amusing to read the
official reports on some of the
widely touted germ killers.
Many of them are so weak that
their coefficient cannot be
measured.
The best di3infectants are in.
expensive and familiar-car.
bofic acid. lySol, creosol, bl.
chloride of mercury, lime, the
hypochlorites. chlorin, formelde-
hyde. alcohol and iodine. Each
is adapted to a special use; and
their uses cover all the various
pTdCGlCdl purposes OF OlSlnIeC-
ton.
Bichloride of mercury. for in
stance, while one of the most
potent of disinfectants. has the
disadvantage that it corrodes
metals, coagulates living tissue,
and is extremely poisonous.
The uses of lime are many.
1t is one of the cheapest and
best disinfecting substances we
have. Lime added to water is
very caustic and destructive to
organic matter as we'll as germs.
A 3 per cent solution kills ty-
phoid bacilli in one hour. A
20 per cent solution added to
human eXcreta and filth will
disinfect them in an hour.

The first thing you notice
about a well-dressed woman is
her flowers, if she is wearing a
corsage. They add the final
touch to good grooming, and
not only boost the spirits of the
woman who wears them, but
charm the people around her by
their beauty and fragrance. But
flowers, like clothes, must be
carefully chosen, not only to
express the personality of the
wearer, but to be correct with
her clothes, and for the hour.
For a morning concert, a walk
down Connecticut Avenue, or to
make a good impression for an
important interview, small
corsage is correct, made up of
three small roses or buds, of one
gardenia, or small bunch of
violetS. The gardenia will be
smart on a tailored suit, or on
a black costume. With brown,
TaliSman roses or yellow roses
harmonic, or with blue, you
may wear pink roses. These
roses are simply wrapped with
silver foil, and no ribbon is used
on them. Pin them on your
lapel, and , you are smartly
turned out.
Afternoon FOrmality
For afternoon, your corsage
may be quite a bit more elab-
crate. unless you're going to a
matinee or on a shopping tour,
when it should be the same as
Q morning bouquet. For tea. or

Oh. the god that one man wor-
ships
Is a thing of wood and Jade,
With topaz eyes and ivory hands
And feet, grotesquely made!
And the God another kneels to
Walks, unseen, where candles
bloom
And the incense slowly rises
Through a lofty, vaulted room.
But the God who gives me
courage
For the conflict, day on day,
Is the God who keeps beside me
Wherever I may stray.
Oh, my God is farther distant
Than the idol, strangely dressed,
Yet my God is nearer to me
Then the heart within my
breast!
For I find Him in the heavens
And in every starry land.
And find Him in the rosebud
That is lying in my hand!

The Beauty
Box

Scent every garment you
wear, distributing your favorite
perfume so that in time the
wardrobe will be impregnated
with it. Use an atomizer; it is
economy in the long run. Select
a light, delicate essence, one
that will not offend the public
nose or incite it to curl itself
upward in Scorn. Purchase
complexion powder and sachet
of the same special fragrance.
Mixing ones perfumes is
dangerous business. They fight,
kill each other.
Stockings that are too short
are responsible for ingroWing
toenails. They're almost as
harmful as short shoes. And

Manchesters (l9.
Dunbar (2s).

At the December meeting CT the con-
ference a rule was passed forblddlng
anv conference foot ball game being
broadcast The broadcasting stations
have not only resented that, but have
gone on the air almost daily for the
last two or three weeks through their
regular announcers in an effort to put
pressure on individual members of the
conference to reScind the rule. Yester-
day representatives Of the broadcasting
stations appeared before the conference
with piles OF letters from their listeners
demanding that the games be broad
cast. One station brought in 10000
letters that had been received by tnat
station alone.
The conference went into executive
session to discuss the matter, but re-
manned adamant with its ruling. Some
of the members seemed to feel very
decidedly that it cut down attendance
at the games in a way that is rather
unusual, but which seems to be backed
by reason. It seems that when Georgia
and Tulane played last Fall there was
so much interest throughout the South
in the game that people at Jackson,
Miss. at Knoxville, Tenn; at Nash
Vile and other places remained at home
to hear that game rather than spend
their money 10 go WaVcn less lnGeIeSC-
ing struggle close by.
A RATHER amazing situation exists
n down this way in connection with
the relationships which some Of
the sports writer's Of newspapers feel
they have toward athletics and toward
the Southern Conference. Instead of
printing the news of a meeting they
print before the meeting what they
think should be done at the meeting
and then grow rather vituperative aft
erward if what they think should be
done Is not done.
One or two writers in this section
| seemed to feel that a commissioner of
the Conference should be appointed,
whether or not, and appointed imme-
diately. even II there was no money TO
| foot the expenses Of such an office, and
J when this was not put through there
was considerable in the way of sar-
| castle references, some of which was
| purely misstatement of facts.
The general feeling between institu-
tions the whole outlook on the athletic
situation, down t~ls way is as different
from what it is in the South Atlantic
section and the North as day from
night.
