ten Of diamonds. which East won with
the jack. A diamond Immediately
was returned, South discarding the
seven Of hearts.
The ten of clubs was played from
dummy, North covered with the jack.
East played the queen, and South won
the trick with the king.
He Immediately returned the seven
Of clubs, which the declarer won with
the nine in dummy.
Declarer then cashed his three dia-
monds in dummy. On the first dia-
mond South discarded the seven Of
spades. On the second diamond he
realized that. II he discarded the
deuce OF spades, the declarer would
be able to throw him in and force
him to lead a heart-and. as East
had not played spades, he reasoned
that his partner, North, must hold
the jack of spades.
South, therefore, let go his queen
OF spades. On the seven Of diamonds
East discarded spade and South
dropped the three Of hearts. The
three of clubs next was played. East
won with the ace and South complet-
ed his neat unlocking play by drop
ping the king Of spades.
There now was no play that East
could make which would allow him
to make his contract. as North was
bound to get In with the jack OF
spades. Thus, North and South CASH

with the king Of clubs-enough to de-

When East arrived at a three no
trump contract, South had every right
to believe, due to the fact that East
and West were vulnerable, that East
held at least four hearts to the king
ten and possibly five hearts.
He reasoned it would be useless to
open his heart suit. as the opponents
probably held diamonds and clubs,
and perhaps a heart lead would be
just the thing that would give them
the extra trick needed for game.

CONTRACT PROBLEM
BY VIM. E. MCKINNEY
cretary, American Bridge League

Secretary. American Bridge League
Is the fourth best OF your longest
and strongest suit the correct attack
against a no trump at contract? OF
course, most bridge books tell you to
lead your fourth best, but contract IS
a different game from auction. You
can learn lot about the hand from
the bidding.
Generally you should attack q no
trump contract with your long suit,
il you have re-entries in your hand,
but when the bidding clearly has in
dicated to you that it IS useless to at
tempt to establish your suit, it might
be advisable for you to consider OPEN
ing a short suit, hoping. that may be
your partners suit and that, In this
you many break down the de-
fense of the opponents.
Some players, however. like to open
short suits against no trump. This
is not advisable. since it will work only
in rare cases, and the following hand

Talk On Flax AT
Junior Chamber

Flax raising as an important add
dition to the crops of Imperial
Valley was discussed by Jacob A.
Kagan at the regular breakfast
meeting OF the local Junior Cham
Der of Commerce this morning.
Kagan, who has made the ques-
ton of flax raising a study of the
past few years. pointed out the ad-
yantages of such crops III the val
ley and stated that an association
is in the process of being formed
which will include all those who are
interested in this question.
He stated that as flax is raised
during the cooler portion of the
year it will be a welcome addition
to the existing crops in the valley
and will be profitablein so far as it
will aid in distributing taxes and
water tolls more evenly. Flax is
safe crop, he said and the products
of the seed, such as oil and cake,
can be manufactured right here in
the valley at low cost.
He announced that a meeting OF
prospective flax seed growers will
be held at the court house on July
6, at o'clock, in the evening.
