Bridge
BY E. V. Shepard

End play problems show the
cards held about the table after
a number of earlier tricks have
been taken. The reader is
given the declaration being
played, which player is to lead,
and how many tricks must be
won by a specified side, against
any possible opposing play, for
the correct solution of the prob
lem. All cards must be placed
face upwards upon the table, so
that each player knows pre-
ciSely what is held by each of
the three remaining players.
These problem hands not only
are of absorbing interest to
earnest students, but also the
mastery of the different situa-
tions that may arise in any
deal serves greatly to improve
the play of the solver.
During the many years that
some species of bridge has been
played practically every possible
end situation has been pre-
Sented, with the rule for recog
nizing it when encountered A
few of the older players won
fame through their preSenta-
tionS of such helpful problem
hands. Later players of equal
ability to solve such problems
have to a large extent to be
satisfied with presenting dupli-
cate situations which they have
actually encountered in dealt
hands, or by disgusting the
work Of the earlier masters of
this art by means of altered
suits and the specific cards
shown in the problems.
The late L. j. Bruck, pub
Usher of Bridge" 25 years
ago, gave me before his demise
a large collection of these prob
lem hands, devised by himself
and a few others, with permis-
sion to make such use of them
as I chose.
Each Saturday one or more
of these problem hands will
appear in these articles, as
long as readers enjoy them.
The solutions will appear the

The gold standard may have

now we have gold accents on
everything.
There's Agnes gold bead

bracelets have jumped in popu-

Our Rhymins
Optimist
A Lesser Love

A lesser love may kindle with
desire
And, for a season, like a star
may shine.
A lesser love may early wane
and tire;
May call on reason, weighing
mine and thine.
For he who loves with lesser
love still keeps
His ship in harbor, safe from
wind and tide;
He does not guess at oceans
unplumbed deeps,
Nor glimpse horizons glorious
and wide.
A lesser love may bargain for
its share
OF happiness, and barter kiss
for kiss:
It never knows the maelstroms
Of despair,
Nor sails the opalescent seas
of bliss
For it, all loves entertainments
fade and pail,
A lesser love? 1t is not love
at all!

Advice to the
LoveIorn
PROBLEM 2
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX
Dear Miss Fairfax:

Dear Miss Fairfax:
You have given such wonder
full advice to so many others,
I feel sure that you can help me
with this great problem of
mine.
1 married at 20. One year
later my husband was killed in
an automobile accident. We
were madly in love, and for a
while felt that I couldn't go
on-that life wasn't worth liv-
ing without him. I am now q.
Last summer I met a man
whom I became very fond Of as
friend. I feel sure that he
loves me, and he has asked me
to marry him.
Miss Fairfax, here is my prob
lem. Though I respect him very
much, I do not feel that can
ever love anyone else. All the
romance that I felt before my
first romance has rome. I have
told him how I feel about it.
He said that possibly love would
come afterward, and that he
could do all the loving. But do
you think this would be fair to
him? Can a marriage be happy
if both are not in love with
each other? Sometimes I am
doubtful. You see, my first mar
riage ended in such a tragedy
that I do want happir- if I
marry again.
1t is only to be expected, af-
ter having lived through such
a tragedy as yours, that you
would hesitate at the thought
of beginning love over again.
But we've got to keep on, my
dear, even though often it
would be easier to give up and
let grief consume us by inches.
It's braver to fight and keep
on. I like what you write me
OF this man, and when he tells
you he will do the loving, don't
you realize that love comes with
kindness and devotion? Your
letter interested me greatly, and
hope you will write me again
and tell me what you've decided
to do.

Your Health
And Diet
By Logan Clendening, M. D.

BY Logan Clendenlng, M. H.
The United States can have
the coldest winter weather and
the hottest summer weather of
any civilized country. Most
parts of the country have what
a Russian acquaintance of mine
called continental climate"
similar to Russia itself. But it
is not only the continental part
of the country-the land be-
tween the great mountain
ranges, the Alleghenies and the
Rockies-the entire area of the
United States, except the eX-
treme northern and extreme
southern parts and the lower
Pacific coast shares this eX-
treme variability of climate.
AS such, the ventilation prob
lem and temperature condition
ing problem of our homes is a
pressing one. For a nation so
proud of it's progress it has
done very little about it.
But there are indications that
times are changing. Before
long we may expect to see ven
tilating systems installed in
homes and places OF business
which will have hot-Weather
as we'll as a cold-weather con-
troll. Such a system will not
be like our present furnaces in
that attention is centered ex-
clusively on temperature. It
will also condition the air as
to moisture. In the coolest
weather it will add moisture to
the air, and in the hottest
weather it will remove moisture
from the air. It will control
that third important factor in
healthy ventilation-movement
of the air.
In our very cold beloW-Zero
weather the air coming in from
the outside to be heated by a
modern furnace is entirely too
dry. When it is warmed it ex-
pands in volume. The cold air
had its volume so controlled
that it had most of it's water
squeezed out of it. When heated
without having any water add
ed, it represents a state some
what like the Sahara desert.
And that is the air most of us
have to endure during the win
ter indoorS-summer Sahara
desert air.
In the summer, on the con-
trary, gallons of water can be
removed from the air of a room
daily. The result is much bet
ter than if the air were cooled,
If the air is also in motion we
can be completely comfortable
indoors on the most blistering
day.

CHAPTER VI

CHAPTER VI
Sergt. Edward Fitzpatrick, of
the vice squad, sat gingerly on
the edge of the overstuffed red
plush chair. Young, healthy
and vibrant with the joy of liv-
ing, Ed had an eye for the
feminine beauty-eVen under
these circumstances. Daisy
Beaumont, draped in negli-
= gent posture on the couch, at
tired in a black peignor which
was in direct contrast to her
milk-white skin and her plati-
mum locks, indolently smoking
a cigarette, was to him a sight
to be admired, an animal whose
allure could not be ignored-a
fascinatin, female.
Ed was tall, handsome, we'll
set up, of an ebullient nature,
more ready to smile than to
frown, out for good time
rather than work or worry. His
hair was dark and his eyes
were Irish blue, twinkling be-
meath heavy black eyebrows.
His nose was straight. his lips
were wide and full, and his chin
came out at the proper angle to
show that daring and deter
mination were there when called
for.
Daisy had the compactness of
body of a trained dancer. She
might have seemed thin at casual
glance until one felt her arm or
looked more closely at the full
ness of her silk-clad leg above
her trim, neat ankle. Her fore
head was smooth and high, her
nose pert and her eyes sky-blue
and tantalizing. Her lips did
not need widening by rouge and
her teeth, small and white,
glistened with highlights.
Toss your hat on the table,

got on your chest" she purred,
flicking the ashes of her
cigarette to the floor and Smii-

sitting up. There's beer on tire

mo, thanks-just to talk"
1T isn't often I have the op-
portunity to entertain bulls
who drop in just to talk"
Ed did not reply, but locked
about the room, noting the
Chinese rugs and lamps, the low
divan, the frou-frous scattered
here and there and several
marionette dolls planted at ad-
Vantageous points.
A Nifty Layout
"Sten rapher, eh?" he
summed up at last. You got
a pretty nifty layout for a
stenographer. How much does
Belmonte pay you?"
We'll, in the first place."
smiled Daisy, crossing her legs,
the black wrapper falling apart
to reveal her bare knees. An
other girl shares this place with
me and pays half the expense.
In the second place, Belmonte
doesn't pay me anything-now."

her arms above her head, which
caused the dress to creep fur
ther up her legs. Ed snorted.
"Come on-get up and sit up
like a lady" he snapped pet
ulantly. II know that trick. I
don't fall for no +molls-right
now"
Daisy bobbed up quickly and
primply adjusted her skirt.
Don't play me for so dumb,
mister" she said angrily. I'm
not built that way"
Huh! You're built great
but you can still be dumb"
"Thanksn
''Now listen" and Ed leaned
forward looking her directly in
the eye. Where were you the
night the Dopey Boys were
rubbed out?"
"Oh, let me see," and Daisy
drew down her eyebrows in
thought. "Oh, I know was

Daisy. so I figured it out.
