Good and Bad Strategy

1-Club. A passed. 1 made a
very venturesome bid of l.
Spade. B overcalled with 2
Diamonds. My partner bid g.
Clubs, that 1 carried to 4Clubs.
B passed, whereupon z bid a
Spades, knowing that I must
shift to 5-Clubs, in case I had
bid a four-card Spade suit. AS
it was, I passed.
B won the first trick with
his King and Queen of Dia-
monds. Then he led the Nine
of Hearts His partners Ace
won, and the Eight Of Hearts
was led back. I played Dunn
my's Queen of Hearts upon the
first lead of that suit, think
ing that a trump might be led
back, in which case my Jack
of Hearts would give me an
exit card from Dummy after l
had won two trump tricks.
I won the second lead of
Hearts with my Jack. Before
pulling trumpS, 1 led a Club,
and won the trick by finess-
ing Dummy's Ten. Two rounds
of trumps we're led, and all
adverse trur ps except the Jack
and Ten fell. 1 was all right
in case the Two missing honors
did not lie IN one hand. To
gain entry to my hand I led
and trumped the top Heart.
Laying down my Ace of Spades,
the Jack and Ten fell. No
matter how the King-Nine of
Clubs happened to lie, I was
all right, whether A held both
of them, or held the bare
King. 1t was impossible to
believe that A held the miss
ing King, and that he had
failed to put it up to win the
one trick required to defeat
the contract. When BIS King
went up on the next lead of
Clubs, 1 spread my hand,
claiming the balance of tricks.
All we lost were two Diamond
tricks and one Heart trick.
The hand was made to order,
the way our opponents played.
There was nothing to my
strategy. Any player must have
done as I did. But both A and
B missed a glaring sign that
the contract could be defeated.
AS the hand was played B
won two diamond tricks, and
then led his 9 of hearts, with
out in the least knowing that
his partner held the Ace. The
third defensive trick won by
ABB was no more than a shot
in the dark, especially with the
KQ-10 of hearts showing in
dummy. I had bid; A had not
bid; I had greater chances
than B to hold the missing Ace
of hearts. Even if I did hold
the Ace of hearts, there was a
chance that later on a trick
might be lost to the j of that
suit, in case A happened to
hold it, provided I led the suit.
B held the Jack-Seven-Three
of Spades. Dummy held only
the King-Queen. B should
have seen that a third lead of
Diamonds must force Dummy
to ruff with a high honor. in
case I held three Diamonds.
Obliging Dummy to ruff with
the Queen would insure
trump trick for BIS Jack. Why
he failed to see that fact is
a mystery.
A also had a chance to de-
feat the contract when he won
his Heart trick. Had he led
back a Diamond and obliged
Dummy to ruff. Of course, it
was not as plain to A, as to
B, that the best defense was
to force Dummy to use one of
its high tr!lmps, because A
did not know that his partner
held the third best trump.

humor of the monkey, for in

When Manners
Are Correcx
Shaking Hands

Shaking HANDS
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
On leaving two friends Of
mine whom I had been visiting,
l shook hands with them, but
only nodded good evening to a
friend of theirs who was also
visiting my friends. and with
whom I was but slightly .ac-
quainted. Should I have shaken
hands with this third person
also? JOE.
Yes, it would have been bet
ter if you had. after you had
shaken hands with your two
friends, shaken hands with the
other guest. For there would
always be the danger that the
third person would feel sighted,
and it is so easy to avoid this.

"Oh, Jennie, not SLIM"
why not? He's a man."
said Jennie.
Tom came back enthusiastic
, over his work. But Lynn paid
him Scant attention. She
came straight to the point.
"Tom," she said. why didn't
you tell me Mr.. Norton let you
out?"
He looked excessively uncom-
Portable. Of course he might
have known she'd find out!
Everyone knew, he supposed.
He answered aWkwa ardly,
Gosh, it was all so darned
stupid. I didn't want to tell
you. You see, walked into
his office all set to tell him I
was quitting - and then he
sprang it at me. About firing
me, I mean. Lord, you could
have knocked me over with a
-cobweb!"
But why did he fire you?"
"Oh, I wasn't responsible he
said. I didn't take my 'obliga-
tions' seriously"
Now was the time for her to
say, And didn't you? Did you
break your word to me about
RaWlSOn?" But she couldn't
say it. She had missed him so
much; she had him back again;
he hadn't lied to her. Perhaps
Sarah had misunderstood Mr..
Norton; had taken this talk of
obligations and responsibilities
to mean a dishonorable dis
charge.
Lynn said, irrelevantly, "Oh,
darling, I'm so glad to have you
back: I've missed you so much.
I wish" she said, low, that
they hadn't fired you."
He kissed her. $50 do l." he
said cheerfully, "but if I'd said.
I'm quitting, anyway he
wouldn't have believed me-"
Il suppose you know Bob
Rawlson has your job?" she
asked.
He looked so aghast that she
knew he hadn't known; knew,
too, with relief that he hadn't
been seeing RaWlson.
"RaWlSon!" he exclaimed.
Eyes. Sarah told me that
Mr.. Norton had given him this
chance as he was dissatisfied
where he was. Tom, do you
think that it was wise of Mr..
Norton?"
Will Not Tell
"Wise?" He frowned, puz-
Zled; then understanding.
laughed. "Sure. Thinking of
that jackass idea he-I mean,
we had? Get it out of your
funny little head. Rawlson's
forgotten it long ago, I guess"
Then he doesn't know there's
been talk on the Street, she
thought. She decided not to
tell him. After all, what was
the use?
BY the middle of October
Jennie had moved to a River
side Drive apartment, to her
amused chagrin. Il held out
for Park Avenue, or at least the
East Side, but nothing doing.

conceded carelessly, land it

her turn.

LIGHTS OFF AGAIN
HERE LAST NIGHT

The dispute between the city of
Nogales and the Public Utilities
Consolidated Corporation over the
payment of bills continues and as
result the street lights were off
again last night.
The lights were on the night be-
fore and off the two nights previous
to that.
In explaining why the lights were
on Thursday night, w. H. Grove,
manager Of the power company,
wrote the city yesterday as follows;
TN the sincere belief that the
people of Nogales would enjoy and
appreciate having their city present
a well lighted cheerful appearance
on the Thanksgiving Holiday night,
we decided to turn on all of the
street lights as a matter of good
will. The service this rendered is
entirely gratis and our Company
will make no charge of any kind
therefor.
The company's original decision
to keep the street lights off was
due to failure of the city to pay
it's monthly bill which became due
on. the first of this month and de-
linquent on the 18th. The city re-
fused so pay the bill because the
company has not paid its license
taxes, the company claiming now
that it is testing the validity of said
taxes.
On Saturday afternoon the power
company made proposition to the
city council that pending court
decision on the license tax matter
the company issue check for the
license taxes and the city G check
for the monthly light bill and that
both checks be put in escrow III the
local bank. This suggestion on the
part OF the company was tabled by
the council and recommendation Of
the company not carried out.

LESSONS OF POST PROPERTY /
GET FIRST CHANCE TO BID
ON CAMP SITE STRUCTURES
Report Circulating That Border Patrol Trying To Get
Government To Designate Camp Little
AS Its Headquarters

Lessons of property on which
Camp Stephen D. Little is located
have received written communica-
lions, dated Nov. II, from the
Eighth Corps Area Army Head
quarters at Fort Sam Houston, Tex
as giving them first chance to bid
on improvements at the army post,
it became known yesterday.
This step is in line with. the War
Department. plan to abandon the
post. While Nogales still fights to
have the order rescinded and has
hopes that the camp, may. not be
abandoned, it was learned. yesterday
that unless an order to the. contrary
is received the post will have to be
abandoned before January 1 as ap-
preparations for the local camp only
provide for funds for its mainten-
ance until December 81.
It was announced over the radio
twice Sunday that Camp Little
would be abandoned and press dis
patches appearing in Thursday
mornings paper also conveyed the
information that the local post and
that at Camp Harry j. Jones, Doug
las. would be abandoned, and the
18th Infantry troops located at the
two posts moved to Fort Huachuca.
: Although Nogales may lose the
post it does not mean that all per-
sons connected with the camp will
leave here by the first of the year.
The Quartermaster- Corps, number
ing about 100 men, may remain
here for five or six more months
pending sale Of buildings on the
camp site.
At the present time the person.
mel of the soldiers at Camp Little
totals about 500. About $50 more
25th Infantrymen are at Douglas.
When these contingents are moved
to Huachuca the regiment will once
more be intact. Already, one battal-
ion of the regiment, this contingent
numbering about $50, is at Huachu-
ca.
A report, one that could not be
confirmed, was circulating here yes
terday that the Border Patrol is
trying to get the government to let
the patrol use the buildings now at
Camp Little. The patrols southern
Arizona headquarters are now To-
Gated in Tucson.
Reports from Bisbee are to the
effect that the War Department
plans to make Fort Huachuca one
of the biggest posts in the entire
United States and that a cavalry

Hayden Slated To Get Advancement
Likewise will Arizona's junior
senator, Carl Hayden, find himself
in more important role when the
next congress is organized. Senator
Hayden is now a member of the
relatively unimportant Printing,
Post Offices and Post Roads, and
Territories and Insular Affairs COM
n1ittees. Through service and ability
he will be in line for membership
of many of the most important COM
mittees in the senate.
Douglas Showed Real Ability In
House
Over in the house Of representa-
tiveS Congressman Douglas will I'M
questionably be among the most i'm
portant gentlemen in that great
body. Not for seniority has Con-
gresham Douglas made himself
outstanding, but for ability. His
work as a member of the powerful
Appropriations committee, and his
fearlessness in devising economies in
public office, showed him as an
able, intelligent, sincere and daunt-
less young statesman. Shrew COM
mentators on the Washington situa-
ton picked him as a winner last
session of congress. His good work
will not go unrewarded in the next
congress.

Grafton; that a commission will be
formed at Nogales to supervise and
look after everybody's interests.

finally adjusted by the early part
OF next week, as soon as the var
ious factors connected with it ar
rive in Nogales, and then COM
plete plan will be announced.
