1.-THE hunger strike, backed up by
mass activities, exposed Doak's strike

means to help the boss class and
their agents, the A. f. of L., to put

cause of mass protest, which the
hunger strike aroused, the U. S. Cir

Working Class Honors Memory of
Negro Revolutionary Leader Today

One of the most brilliant chapters
in the rich revolutionary history OF
the Negro masses was written in the
blood Of the heroic black slaves OF
Haiti who, in the latter part of the
18th century rose in arms against the
brutal slave owners. In a series Of
bloody struggles extending over thir-
teen years, the enslaved Negroes de-
feated the armed forces Of the slave
owners, smashed the horrible insti-
tuition of chattel slavery in the is
land, and successfully defied the eff
forts of the whole bourgeois world
to re-enslave them. They successive
ly defeated the veteran armies OF

Your Health
And Diet
BY LOGAN CLENDENING, MD.

By LOGAN CLENDENING, M. d
It is probable that you have
observed that more and more
of your friends lately have
been taking treatment for
ulcer of the stomach or for its
cousin, duodenal ulcer. Un-
questionably either ulcer is on
the increase or we hear more
about it.
Several explanations have
been offered for this. One as
cribes the increase to bootleg
booze. But against this is the
fact that the same thing is
true in England and France,
where there is no bootleg booze.
A much more reasonable ex-
planation is that our means Of
diagnosis have improved so
much in the last 20 years that
we are able to recognize more
of these cases.
There were just as many
ulcers in the old days as now.
But they were not called ulcer.
They were called acid dyspep-
sia, or hyperacidity or sour
stomach. "Oh! he's a chronic
dyspeptic-takeS soda all the
time" that's what people used
to say about them. That has
been translated into Hes got
ulcer Of the stomach"
One of the important factors
in this change has been the
advance Of abdominal surgery.
When surgeons found that they
could open abdomens safely
go years ago or more) they
got very curious and began
doing what they called lex
ploratory laparotomy." 1t has
been a good thing because it
has taught us much about OBJ
scure symptoms. Well, when
surgeons opened the abdomens
of these hyperacidity people, or
acid dyspeptics, or sour stom-
ach patients, what they found
almost invariably was an ulcer,
either Of the stomach or duo
denum.
We have concluded, there
fore, that such patients prob
ably have ulcer and suspect it
in people who take a great
deal of soda bicarbonate or
milk Of magnesia. Fifty years
ago the diagnosis was seldom
made unless the patient had a
hemorrhage from the stomach
and vomitef blood. Now it is
considered in anyone who COM

The Official System was be-
ing employed by w. My
partner (A) and myself 1B)
were using the One.Over-One.
Except on the opening bid,
the particular system in use
had no bearing upon what fol-
lowed.
Having the full requirements
for a semidemand opening bid
of that type, z made a bid of
Two Diamonds. A made a
strong invitation bid of Four
Clubs. Of course, Y overcalled
with Four Diamonds. and bid
Four Spades. z ventured Five
Diamonds; the bidding had
gone up too rapidly for z
to venture Five Hearts; had
Y been unable to stand that
shift, z did not want to obli-
gate a take-out of Six Dia-
monds. Probably it was for
tunate for us that bidding did
ascend so fast. Had z made
an opening bid of One Dia-
mond, A would have bid Three
Clubs; Y would have bid
Three Diamonds; would have
bid only Three Spades; z
probably would have bid Four
Hearts; AS Four Spades would
then have been overcalled by
Y's Five Hearts. Upon the
showing of a two-suiter by 2,
either w would not have let
us have the declaration at
Five Spades, or we would have
been doubled had we bid more.
w would have gone down
only one trick if they had bid
either Six Hearts or Six Dia-
mondS.
Over rs Five Diamonds, A
bid Five Spades. 2 doubled,
and all passed. The opening
lead was the Jack of Diamonds.
Dummy ruffed; then led the
Ace of Spades, intending to
finesse upon the next round, if
the Queen did not fall. An
other round of trumps took out
the last remaining Spade. When
AS Queen of Clubs was led,
both the Ace and King of that
suit fell. z was in the lead:
instead of leading his Ace Of
Hearts, which play obviously
would just enable me to fulfill
my contract, he led his Jack Of
that suit, hoping that I might
pass the trick, believing that Y
held the Ace of Hearts. and
that z held the Ace and King
Of Diamonds. 1t was a good
trick, but Dummy's King was
gone Mess z was trying to
cheat me, so I put up the King,
thereby winning one trick over
my contract. 2 had tried the
only chance to defeat the con-
tract.
The remarkable thing about
the hand is that A can win five
odd at clubs, losing only one
club trick and one heart trick,
just as should have been lost
with spades as trumps. z can
make five-odd at diamonds, los
ing only one spade trick and
on heart trick. Either Y or z
can make five-odd at hearts,
losing only two tricks, just the
same as they would have to lose
at diamonds. 1t is rare to find
hands where each player as de-
clarer, can win the same num-
ber of tricks.

DevOtes the Time to His Campaign for the

Monte Ne, Ark, (UP)-Work on the pyramid here which was to preserve evidences of modern civ- ilization has bene holted while the builder labors to prevent what he believes may be the downfall of that civilization.
 William Hope (Coin) Harvey has abandoned work on his 130- foot pyramid atop spur of the Ozark Mountains while he cam paigns for president of the United States as the nominee of the Lib- erty Party, which he founded four years ago in the foyer of the pyramid.
 Contributoins to pay the cost of construction have been so meager during recent months that Harvey decided to discontinue work until conditions improve.
