Interesting Bridge Hands

corning my holdings in the two
red suits showed him no losers
there. He could hold no los
ing clubs. ALI that B wanted
to know was about my solid
tops in spades. Having grasped
that fact, I bid Seven Spades,
which of course came to us on a
spread.
There are two methods
whereby the assisting hand can
show absence of losers ofs a
side suit; the first is by bidding
one trick higher than, required
to overcall the previous declara-
ton; the second method is by
bidding a suit out of it's nor
NAL order. Had Coleman held
the Ace of Clubs he would
have shown that suit before
showing me hearts. Showing
hearts before clubs meant that
clubs had no losing cards.
Whether he meant that he
held tops or was void of that
suit neither knew nor cared.
I did grasp the fact that he
wanted to know what top
spades I held.
So far as I know that partic-
ular method of showing no los
erS of a suit in the assisting
hand had never before been
employed, but since then it has
become a regular part of
feature showing.

beauty treatment that can be

Go over the skin surface with

Use half a dozen of them.

Does your complexion make

it temperamental and does it

What ever became of the vic.
tins of jake paralysis?
Their plight stirred up the
country about a year ago. They
were the ones who sampled
some Jamaica ginger because
other alcoholic stimulation was
scarce, But unfortunately there
was large amount of Jamaica
ginger on the market that had
not been made from ginger.
The manufacturer had used a
chamical which tasted and
smelled like ginger, but which
was cheaper. The chemical was
tio-ortho-cresyl phosphate. 1t
had specific effect on the
nerves, causing degeneration.
The consequence was that
even after using a very little
of this ginger product the vic
tim had a paralysis, particu-
larly of the legs. The form Of
the paralysis was what is called
multiple neuritis." The vic
TINS had a steppage gait, so
named because they lifted their
feet very high when they walk
ed, because otherwise the foot,
being paralyzed, would hang
down and trip them.
Most cases of multiple neu-
ritis get we'll in the course of
time. The nerves regenerate.
But the report was that no
case Of jake paralysis made any
Improvement.
I was very glad, therefore, to
find in my mail a letter from
one of them, announcing that
he had recovered and explain
ing the treatment he used in
doing so. 1t is reproduced here
for any who may be interested:
Il was one of the sufferers Of
the So-called 'Jakeleg,' or as
prefer to call it, 'Zingaboritis.'
and I am entirely free of the
terrible disease, if it is one, re-
fleXes normal, and no apparent
deformity. I attribute my en-
tire recovery to two things,
namely, systematic daily pre-
Scribed exercise Cholding to bed
If necessary, rising up on the
toes IS times morning and
night, and the mechanical act
of putting the extensor muscles
at rest for IL hours by sleeping
at night with the feet in the
full extended position. I &C.
complished this by putting my
feet flat on the foot of the
bed; in iron beds a pillow may
be used. These extensors are
the muscles, as you know, af-
fected, and it is surprising
what this rest accomplishes as
the tendency is to let the feet
stay in the flexed state.
II have four friends who have
come to me cured almost as we'll

know it.
But he had to put up a fight
against his feeling for her. A
child like that and his life
work?
It wouldn't do. It wouldn't
blend" 1t was too queer a
combination.
So-by working increasingly
hard-he sought to put the elf
like, alluring girl out of his
mind.
Having had a belated lunch
at the country club one day
Ghere was always the off
chance that she might see him
there)-Laurel strolled over to
the pool, wrapped in her own
meditations.
They were not particularly
happy ones.
The whoopie palled, after a
time. there was nothing new
under the sun. and most of
the gang were "wet smacks."
She was sick of them all, and
their stale old wise-crackS.
The little wood about the
stream and pool was bright in
it's autumn foliage. A thrush
twittered on a bough. There
were robins, and blackbirds, too,
and finches.
They loved the sunshine. E.
preened their feathers, and war
bled as though it were summer.
Wonderful to be happy as they
we're! Wonderful to be here
with-a lover!
A Trail of Green
A moorhen swan across the
water. There was a trail of
green weed on its surface. The
bird skirted it cautiously.
SHE hadn't. No. HER life
was cluttered with a fine lot Of
weeds-a crop of wild OATS"
rather.
So thought Laurel.
And what had she gained by
all of it? A good time? Well
=. .one wouldn't call it that.
Excitement! Whoopie!
She'd gained light name"
certainly.
The old cats gossiped of her
doings, and several times she'd
quarrelled with Connie
If Connie only knew SHE
knew! She'd seen Connie be-
ing kissed by Diaz that early
morning.
But don't let ones mind
dwell on it, or who knows, in
a fit of rage, she'd blurt the
whole thing out to Connie?
And she didn't WANT her
mother to know she'd over
heard those words of love -.
or seen the caresses!
Laurel couldn't undo what
ever it was that had occurred
and there was no use making
everybody wretched.

Jim laid down his stick. He
turned around and faced the
policemen again.

There was a buzz of voices
as Jim stepped down off the
platform. Tom followed him Up
stairs to his office.
I'VE pull out at 10 o'clock
sharp. Tom--get the men to-

This probably will mean my

well, it's going to create a

but I'm with you," said Tom,
bracing his huge shoulders.
"Tom," said Jim, in weaker
voice, sinking back in his chair.

Never mind, Jim-we'll get

a semi-forcing bid of Two
Spades, so 1 bid only One
Spade. Y passed. My partner.
M. L. Coleman, was an adept at
feature showing, so that we
were employing that system OF
bidding powerful hands. He
jumped my declaration to Three
Spades, saying: "Show your
lowest side Ace; I can see a
sure game, and probably
slam" I did as directed, by
bidding Four Diamonds, thereby
denying holding the Ace of
Clubs. I had to show my fea-
lures in regular order. My
partner, having given the Slam
signal, was at liberty to show
his features in any way that
he deemed best calculated to
obtain from me the informa-
ton he desired.
Coleman said nothing about
clubs! He bid Four Hearts, to an
nounce possession of the Ace.
Having no more side aces to
show, I started showing kings.
AS my partner had stated that
he held the first trick winner
in hearts, my bid of Five
Hearts meant that I could win
the second heart trick with
the K.
Next B bid Six Clubs, stating
that he saw a certain Small
Slam and wanted to know
whether or not a Grand Slam
was safe to bid. I never had
heard of a bid of the kind,
but I tried to reason out its
meaning. I had bid only One
Spade. Then afterwards I had
shown the K of Hearts. Upon
that rather meager information
my partner stated that he felt
confident of a Small Slam, and
that he hoped for a Grand
Slam.
