to go. An effort will be made to con-
struct highways between these two
points.

CONT RACI
BRIDGE
BY w. E. M'KENNEY


THERE is no question but that
Il the squeeze is the most inter-
esting Of all plays in bridge. Some
are hard to recognize-others are
apparently simple.
The squeeze play, however, that
stands above them all is the triple
squeeze-where you have to squeeze
both opponents and squeeze them
on all three suits.
The following hand is the most
interesting, from a playing stand
point, Of the recent tournament
held in New York City. Mr.. Lou
Gotthelf, secretary of the Metro
politan Bridge league, was sitting
in the south. Mr.. Gotthelf usually
uses the one-over-one bidding sys-
tenn, but With this partner he was
playing the forcing two club con-
vention.
Mr.. Gotthelf opened the bidding
with three clubs. West passed and
his partner bid three hearts. East
passed and Mr.. Gotthelf bid five
clubs.
North made the exceptionally
strong bid of jumping to six no
trump, Mr.. Gotthelf held 100 honors
in clubs and felt that no trump
was not the spot on this particular
hand-that he had to play it where
the honors were. Therefore, his
next bid was seven clubs.
Ordinarily, in the one over one
system, the bidding would have
been South one club, North two
no trump, South four clubs, North

URGES STATE
BE INCLUDED IN
REFORESTATION
Indiana Can Provide Year
of Labor for 600 Men,
Says Wilcox.

If the federal government will ex-
tend the reforestation and land
reclamation project into Indiana. the
state could cooperate and provide
year of labor for 600 men, it was
asserted today by Ralph Wilcox,
state forester.
Under the present plan only
federal lands are to be included"
Wilcox pointed out. But this easily
could be amended to include the
states.
1T would mean a great deal to
Indiana, both in giving jobs to the
unemployed and putting on genu-
inc program of land restoration and
reforeStation.
Our state program already is
mapped out to the limit of our bud
gets
The state program, announced by
Director Richard Lieber of the state
conservation department, will pro-
vide for go days of work for 100
men and reforestation of 5000 acres.
Business men, farmers, civic Or
CARNATIONS and the state will all CO.
operate in putting the program
across, Lieber said.
A total Of 100000 evergreens and
hardwood transplantS and seedlings
will be distributed to tree planters
from the three state forests.
a total of 100000 tested walnut
seeds also will be sent out.
Strip mine operators will plan
100000 trees on the spoil banks Of
western and southwestern Indiana.

five clubs, and South six clubs 1
don't believe that the hand should
be bid for a grand slam.
However, Mr.. Gotthelf had
arrived at a seven contract, and
now proceeded to play the hand ex-
ceptionally we'll in order to make
his contract.
The singleton jack of diamonds
was opened by West. East went up
with the king and Mr.. Gotthelf in
the South won the trick with the
ace.
He ran off five club tricks. From
the dummy he discarded three dia-
monds.
West was able to follow on four
of the clubs, but on the fifth club
he discarded a small heart. East
followed with one club and then
let go two diamonds and two spades
Mr.. Gotthelf then led the ace of
hearts and followed with small
heart, winning in dummy with the
king. He returned the five of
hearts and East felt the first
squeeze.
Of course, he must discard a
spade-this is the start of the triple
squeeze. He can not let go of a
diamond or Mr.. Gotthelf's queen
and seven will be good. Mr.. Gott
helf trumped the heart with his
good deuce of clubs, West followed
with the seven of hearts.
Mr.. Gotthelf now led the queen
of diamonds, and West is squeezed.
If he plays the queen of hearts,
dummy's eight spot will be good,
while, if he discards the deuce of
spades, Mr.. Gotthelf will discard
the eight of hearts from dummy
and the triple squeeze is COM
pleted.
First, East was squeezed in spades
and diamonds and then West was
squeezed in hearts and spades.
1t was interesting to note at this
tournament that many more grand
slams have been bid than at any
previous tournament, due to the
fact that last November the rubber
laws were changed so as to increase
the grand slam bonus to $3.50 points
in other words, it now pays to
gamble occasionally on the bidding

SUMS ELEMENTS
DISCOVERED IN
RED SPECTRUM

Invisible Rays Are Charted
to Find Chemical
Contents.
BY DAVID DIETZ,
Scripps- Howard Science Editor

Charting the heat rainbow, the
invisible spectrum of infra-red
rays Of the sun, was the first major
solar study carried out by DR.. c. G.
Abbot, secretary of the Smithsonian
institution.
For the last thirty years, Dr.
Abbot has been studying the suns
radiation in an effort to solve the
riddle of the connection between
the sun and the weather. 1t was
at an earlier date that he made his
study of the heat rainbow.
He and Mrs. F. E. Fowle began
the task in 1895, under the direction
of the late DR.. S. P. Langley, who
then was secretary of the Smith
sonian.
They used an instrument which
had been devised by Langley, known
as the pectrobolometer But large
part of their task was to improve
and standardize this instrument.
They finished the task in 1900.
Every one knows that little glass
prism, when held up to the SUM-
light, divides the light into a little
rainbow. If this rainbow is formed
carefully by admitting the sunlight
through a narrow slit, it is found to
be crossed with hundreds of black
lines. These lines are caused by
the various chemical elements in
the sun.
Search for Invisible Spectrum
There is, however, an invisible
spectrum on either side Of the
visible one. The ultra violet spec
trum extends beyond the violet end,
the mira red beyond the red end.
The infra-red spectrum consists
of heat rays. It's existence had
been shown more than a century
ago by Sir William Herschel. Her
schel demonstrated it by placing
thermometers beyond the red end
Of the spectrum.
Langley realized that spectrum
lines in the infra-red spectrum
would consist of tiny regions where
the temperature was slightly lower
than in the spectrum as whole.
1t was the search for these in
visible lines in the invisible infra-
red spectrum that Abbot and Fowle
undertook. No wonder the job re-
quired five years work
In their finished chart, they
listed the exact position of TAO
lines.
Metal Thread Is Used
The method used by Abbot and
Fowle consisted, essentially, of NOV
ing very thin metal thread across
the invisible heat rainbow, This
thread absorbed the heat and reg
istered it upon a suitable recording
scale. Spectrum lines were re-
vealed in drops in temperature.
This early job was, of course, a
piece of pioneer work. Since then,
the same thing has been done with
more refined apparatus.
In 1928 DR.. Abbot and H. B.
Freeman repeated the charting of
portion of the spectrum, listing
1900 lines, where in 1900 only $50
had been found
DR.. H. B. Babcock of the Mt Will
son observatory has also made
studies of this spectrum in recent
years with the aid of photographic
plates which are sensitive to mira
red rays.
