 The following hand was played bv MT Karn in the Individual Masters contest and as he re- ceiyed top score on the hand. 1t played a most important part in bringing him his victory. The hand contains a very instructive feature in modern contract bid- ding and again we find an expert giving us a hand wherein the op- ponents are given an opportunity to make 8 mistake.
 The Bidding ',
 MT Karn and his teammates use the one over one system Of contract bidding with their own var,ations. In this hand, MT Karn sat in the East position. South was the dealer and passed, as did West and North. MT Karn opened the bidding fourth hand with one spade. Soutn passed and West bid two spades North passed. .. ,ru
 what would you do with MT Karn's hand? Would you snow the diamond suit? MT Karn did not - heimmediately went to four spades. His pet theory IS that contract has definitely improved defensive play, as the hands of de clarer and partner are usually shown to the opponents through excessive bidding, such az men tioning the diamonds would be Tn
 MT Karn further states that approach bidding is often over- done and 1t is his practice not to follow any set, rule of bidding, but

 The Play
 South had a difficult hand to open from, and finally decided to play a trump. He led the six and when North played the jack. MT Karn in the East won the trick with the queen. He then led the four of clubs. South refused to win and the trick was won in dummy with the queen. MT Karn then played the six of diamonds, from dummy. You must remember that he had con- cealed his diamond suit. therefore he played the king from his own hand in order to lead South to be- lieye that North held the ace of diamonds. To justify his bid. MT Karn would have to hold either the ace of diamonds or the ace of hearts, and he preferred to con .ceal from South which ace he held. MT Karh then led his ace of shades and then the deuce Of clubs, which South won with the ace.
 and again South was up. against a difficult lead. The good play CTS hesitate to l ad away from g king. South had to guess which ace was held 'by MT Karn and he guessed. incorrectly. He led the eight of diamonds. Mir Karr played the. jack from dummy

THE HEAVENS IN OCTOBER
By DIR CLEMENT s. BRAININ Of the Columbia University Observatory Stan

With the coming of October the great triangle marked at it's cor ners by the brilliant stars, Vega in Lyra, Altair in Aquila, and Deneb in Cygnus, will be found high over head, close to the zenith. Following this pageant comes the group of cancellations which are named after the various characters of the well-known classical myth of Per- seus and the Medusa's head. The Winged Horse, Pegasus, lies just to the southeast of Deneb and Cygnus and Is easily recognized by the Great Square, standing on one of it's corners over the southeastern horizon. Alpha Pegasi, or Markab, is the southwestern corner, Beta Pegasi or Scheat is the northwest ern corner. and Gamma Pegasi or Algenib, marks the southeastern one. The northwestern corner Is, peculiarly enough, not considered
The Waterbury Democrat., 1932-09-26

as a Pegasus star at all, but AL pheratz or Alpha of -Andromeda. The latter group lies eastward from Pegasus and its particularly distinguishing aspect is a slightly curved line of bright stars, three in addition of Alpheratz. Next to the latter, comes Delta, then Beta and Gamma, which are both brighter than Delta.
 Gamma Andromedae or Almach is a double star; even a low-power telescope will show its double na- ture and it is one of the prettiest colored doubles within the. reach of a small instrument. The brighter component is of orange, hue while that of the smaller is distinctly bluish, and their close proximity brings out sharply this color differ ence. North of Beta lies an indis- tinct patch of light, easily visible to the naked eye on clear night, which proves to be the Great Neb- ula in Andromeda. In a small tel escope this makes an interesting sight but it takes powerful teles- cope and the aid of photography to bring out it's true nature. It is the closest to us of all the thousands of spiral nebulas of outer space.
 Following out the line of Andro- meda stars, we are led to the con- stellation of Perseus, the champion who saved the life of Andromeda when the latter was left chained to a rock by the seashore as a sacrifice to the sea- monster Cetus, the whale. Cetus lies over the south
 eastern horizon beyond the zodi- acal group of Pisces, the fishes. The line of Andromeda stars leads to Alpha Persei or Algenib. a second magnitude star equal in brightness to the brighter Andromeda stars, Beta Persei or Algol, the Demon star, represents the Medusa's head which turned Cetus Into a stone and saved Andromeda. Algol lies further from the north star than Alpha Persei. It is, no doubt. the best known variable star in the heavens and its variations are cas- fly followed with the unaided eye by comparing it's brightness with the neighboring stars during a cy- cle of change. The entire phenom- enon takes about ten hours and Is repeated with clocklike precision, the minimum recurring approx imately every sixty-nine hours, nearly three days. In the course of about five hours, the star loses about two-thirds of it's usual light dropping from a stellar magnitude of 2.3 to one of 3.5. The observ. able minima for this month occur

American Hotels First to Use Bills of Fare

No bill Of fare was necessary when
Jacob made the mess Of pottage for
Esau-it was one-course meal lack
ing even the simplest reflnements.
Neither did the early Romans follow
menu card in their choice Of food,
although the word "menu" itself is
derived from the Latin ''minutus,"
meaning minute detail" (From this
the deduction follows that menu is
used to denote the particulars OF the
different courses of meal.)
Indeed the term was used among
the Romans, but the practice of en-
pertaining both guest and traveller in
the "domus" precluded the need for
a written card
Even the prevalence of inns and
taverns in Thirteenth, Fourteenth and
Fifteenth century England and the
American taverns of the Eighteenth
and early Nineteenth centuries failed
to produce the menu card. For still
there was little need for it with all
the travellers seated at one great table

Earth's Chemicals

The number of so-called chemical
elements which enter into the earth's
composition is more than eighty, but
few Of these figure as important con-
stituents of the portion known to us.
Nearly one-half of the mass Of this
shell is oxygen and more than quar-
ter is silicon. The remaining quarter
is made up largely of aluminium iron,
calcium, magnesium and the alkalies
sodium and potassium, in the order
named. These eight constituent ele-
ments are the only ones that are i'm
portant parts of the earth's surface
shell. They are not found in the free
condition, but combined in proportions
characteristic of chemical compounds.
and are known as minerals.
