NEW YORK, June 20.-A rapio
rise in wheat helped the stock mar
ket today.
Other markets also displayed
strength. Bonds, in the main, we're
higher; cotton gained several points
as did sugar; bank stocks ruled firm
and the American dollar resumed its
advance in terms of European cur
rencies.
In the foreign exchange market,
the pound sterling continued its
decline, selling off more than 2
cents a pound sterling. The French
franc lost more than a half point;
Belgian belgss points; Swiss francs
3 points and Dutch guilders 5
points.
Railroad stocks experienced fair
demand in the share market for a
time after a steady opening On
the upturn, Atchison reached 20, up

York Central 1874 up Ia, and Ches-

Mrs. Hanson in the South started
the contracting with one heart.
While West had a safe overcall Of
two clubs, he rather felt, due to the
fact that he held the queen, jack
and one heart, that there would be
further bidding on the hand and, in
case South eventually went into no
trump, he did not want to disclose
his club strength, so he passed.
North now made one over one
bid of one spade. The bid of one
spade over one heart was forcing
bid and demanded that Mrs. Han
son re-bid.
Mrs. Hanson went to two no
trump and when North bid three
diamonds, Mrs. Hanson bid three no
trump.
The Play
Vests opening lead was his
fourth best club-the four spot,
which MRS. Hanson in the South
won with the jack.
She then led the ace of diamonds,
West playing the ten. A small dia-
mopd was led and West played the
queen. Would you win the trick
with the king in dummy?
If so, good defense will stop you
from going game.
The play of the queen and ten
of diamonds by West clearly warned
Mrs. Hanson that East held four
diamonds to the nine and for her
to go game she must make four
diamond tricks and prevent East
from getting into the lead.
If East were to get in the lead,
club would be played through
Mrs. Hanson's k,ng and one club.
and West would be able to run of
five tricks.
When the six of diamonds was
played from dummy. West was
helpless. He might play the ace
Of clubs and hope to catch the
king.
If he were to return a small
club, the declarer would make four
no trump

played, West returned the ten of
spades which was won in dummy
with the ace. The three good dia-
nondS in dummy we're then cashed,
East following with two diamonds
and discarding the eight of spades.
South, the declarer discarded a
spade and two hearts while West
put up nice defense by discarding
a spade and two clubs.
Mrs. Hanson played the eight of
hearts from dummy, East covered
with the nine which forced Mrs.
Hanson to play the king and now
West made the mistake of playing
small heart on this king.
Mrs. Hanson had to first make
sure of her contract, so led the seven
of Spades-West should have dis
carded a heart, but instead dropped
the eight of clubs.
The trick was won in dummy with
the king of spades and a small
heart returned which Mrs. Hanson
won with the ace
She then led the six of hearts,
throwing West in the lead and
thereby making her king of clubs
for the last trick, making four no
trump in ALL

Perhaps the most

difficult thing for the beginner to
learn is that there are times when
a trick that can be won must be
sacrificed, and this hand is a clever
example of this safety play.
The following hand, which Mrs.
Hanson presents as her favorite,
brings out this important play in
bridge.
