protest against French discrimina-

It seems that the Germans already
have been informed and consulted as
to contingents to be imposed shortly
on machine tools, whereas the Ameri-
cans were not even consulted.
NJ Duchemin was cordial, but was
unable to give the visitors much salts

bition and the 1880 tariff hit French
goods, the tariff being a sort Of Chi
nese wall. Also, he said. Americans
told the Europeans that they should get
together and they are following this
advice.
The Americans pointed out that the

DANCER WINS DIVORCE
FROM FILM PRODUCER
Phyllis r. Brock Gets 800 a
Month From Former Husband
Also Sued by Helen Starr.

BY the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, March "A divorce
was granted yesterday to Phyllis r.
Brock, former dancer, from Louis
Brock, novel producer.
Superior Judge Joseph Call listened
to Brooks testimony that his income
recently had fallen from $3.50 a week to
$3.50 week and ordered him to pay
his former wife 500 a month for two
months. The court refused her request
for recognition Of a property settle
ment under which Brock had agreed
to pay her $75 a week for two years.
Brock formerly was the husband of
Helen Starr of New York, who recently
sued him for an allowance for their
young daughter, claiming she asked no
alimony at the time of the divorce,
but that business conditions had altered
her circumstances.

PITTSBURGH, March A substi-
tute for the common fuse plug, which
will make fire from short circuit vlr-
tually impossible, was demonstrated
successfully here by the engineers who
developed it.
The device is the "De-ion circuit
breaker"
When an electric load" greater than
that intended for any given circuit Is
thrown on to electric wires, the device
automatically shuts off the current and
eliminates the hazard of fire.
Engineers of the Westinghouse Elec-
trio & Manufacturing Co., who have
spent nine years and half million
dollars perfecting it, assert the :" break
er" is the first really new idea in cir
cult interference in 81 years.
The breaker" is described as fool
proof" and non-tamperable. 1t is not

possible to plug" 1t with a copper cent
hairpins or other articles conductive
of electricity as may be done with the
present style plug.
Should fire break out in the attic OF
a dwelling through crossed wires, the
circuit breaker "de-ionizeS" the stream
of electricity and shuts off the flow.
To restore service it is necessary to
throw a switch. If the short" still
exists, the device will not permit the
current to flow through the wires.
Engineers pointed out that the toll
of lives lost in fires in the United States
is 10000 annually. The property loss
is about $500, 100000. Ninety per cent
of these fires are classed as preventible.
Employment of the new circuit
breaker, which has not yet been placed
upon the market. is expected by the
engineers to do much to bring down
the loss of life and destruction of prop
erty by flames.

When members of the Culbertson
team held the North and South cards
the bidding went:
East, pass; South, l diamond; West,
! heart North, 3 clubs; East, pass;
South, no trump; West, pass; North.
diamonds; East, pass; South, 6 clubs;
West, pass; North, diamonds, the
contract.
In the team of four competition two
members of team play the same cards
at one table as their opponents hold
at the other table.
-Four Horsemen" Bids.
When members of the -four horse
RanY1,' hold ho ND
the bidding was: East pass; South,
East, pass; South, / spade; West pass;
North, 2 no trump; East, pass; South,
no trump, the contract.
Mrs. CulbertSon made little slam in
diamonds. Willard S. Karn took II
tricks at no trump, the bid being only 3.
Here was the reasoning of the Gull
bertson team: South has good original
bid, totaling three honor tricks under
the Culbertson system. with bidable
suit in diamonds. Though only four
cards in length the diamonds have / \
honor tricks North has 312 honor
tricks, justifying forcing takeout i1di-
eating slam possibilities. An increase
of the diamond contract by North at
once would fail to show partner the
strength of the hand. No trump is
dangerous because of the heart weakness.
On the second round of bidding South
offers no trump to show the diamonds
are hardly strong enough to bid again,
then North shows assistance for a
diamond contract by bidding 5. South
now shows support for clubs. but North,
having bid clubs as his only means of
indicating strength, takes the contract
into diamonds.
Successful Spade Finesse.
AS the CulbertSon team understood
their opponents methods South passed
on the first round because the horse
mems one-over-one method requires an
original bid to be much stronger than
does the Culbertson system. This is
due to the fact that partner of an
original bidder answers with much
weaker holdings than do Culbertsonites.
In response to North's double South
showed his four-card major and the
contract stopped at no trump because
of Vests bid of hearts and the meager
stopper In the South hand
At no trump 10 tricks were taken be-
cause of the successful spade finesse.
Had the king of spades been in the East
hand the 8 no trump contract would
have been set. So too, would have the
6 diamond contract, but the penalty
might have been less.

food, their pay. He fought with his
staff to show them the error of their
ways, he fought the rank and file to
weld them into a whole. He fought
the elements to bring his army of rag
mullins in contact with the enemy, he
fought with himself to keep from
throwing up his hands in disgust, re-
firing to Mount Vernon and allowing
the politicians to lose the war. We of
a later and more deadly war can look
back and thank God that America
produced such a man to stand fast be-
fore all foes and at last wrest for us
a heritage beyond price, a place under
the sun, a privilege to uphold even un-
to the laying down of life if duty calls.
History would have us believe that
George Washington was second only
unto the angels. That he neither drank
or swore. That he was austere to the
point of coldbloodedness, unbending
only to the lowly. knowledge of war
and warriors makes us know that this
could not be so in so great a leader. We
have lived under and served under
sBlack Jack" who next to Washing
ton ranks highest in our esteem. We
know that great leaders are also great
humans, with all the frailties that are
common to great humans, that when
occasion demands great leaders can and
do swear, few are teetotalers, none are
more austere than their position and
duties demand. All great leaders so be-
come, through their knowledge of
those who serve in lowly capacities.
It is our wish to believe that George
Washington, the greatest warrior of
them all, was such a man. And we
look forward to that day when we shall
pass in review in far off Valhalla be-
fore Washington, and the galaxy of
great Generals that have Joined him
there, to saluting the father of Am
erica's Armies, knowing that he will
return the salute in sincerity, not with
negligence, or condescension, because
he was human AND A MAN.

actual play A did pass, also Y and B,
so Z played the hand at one no trump.
A played his twelve diamonds and, on
the twelfth trick, Z had left in his hand
the ace of hearts and the ace of spades.
It was an absolute guess which ace to
keep and, as usual in such cases, he
guessed wrong, discarded the-ace Of
-he@@ssored grand slain.
The curious part about the hand was
that Z accused A, the writer's cor
respondent, of mot having played a
sporting game as he was betting on a
certainty" 1t was argued that such a
play might be all right in a Card Club,
but very unsportsmanlike for a social
game. Such a contention is certainly
curious and has seemed worthy of
mention in this article. When a game of
Auction or Contract is made up, there
is an express understanding that each
player shall be entitled to take full
advantage of both his skill and his
luck. Luck averages up for every one in
the long run, so never criticize a player
for holding big cards or for playing
them to obtain the maximum results.
Take the game and your luck. philo-
sophically, and both you and your
friends will enjoy the game a great
deal more.
The writer was under the impression
that the following problem was rather
easy until one of his correspondents
wrote in regard to it: "Only an ostrich

he selected an "ostrich" for compare

because of its purported lack of intelli-
gence. After that statement, however,
the writer will refrain from expressing
an opinion. See if you can figure it out
before reading the solution that follows.
