Solution to Preceding
Contract Problem
BY w. E. MKENNEY

secretary american bridge League
CIMPLY because one hand is void
- in one suit and the other is
short in another, it does not fol-
low that the correct procedure OF
play is to cross-ruff the hand out.
In the following hand, South
could see that the diamond suit is
practically set. Therefore, there
was no necessity of trying to ruff
the spade suit out, as they could be
discarded on the good diamonds
However, it is necessary to ruff the
losing clubs, so the declarer had to
be careful in the handling of trump.
Anthony Hoen, recognized as one
of the outstanding players of Buff
falo, N. Y, participating in the re-
cent Cana dian American champion
ships, received top score on the fol-
lowing board by making seven odd.
While several other pairs ar
rived at the grand slam contract,
they failed to make their contract

because of mishandling of the
trump situation.
The king of clubs was opened and
Mr. Hoen trumped with the three
of hearts. He led the ace of hearts
to see what the trump situation was.
He now planned the play Of the
hand so that, even though the jack
and seven of hearts we're in one
hand, he could make his contract.
MIR. Hoen realized that he need
WI ed two small hearts to ruff
dummy's clubs and would need the
queen of hearts to pick up the out
standing trump. His next play was
the king of hearts. He could not

JUDGE REFUSES
RECEIVER PLEA
Turns Down Petition for
Action on One Half
of Assets.

Ruling of Circuit Judge Earl r,
Cox that a receiver can not be
named for partial assets of the
Union National Savings and Loan
Association, 20 West Ohio street,
was announced today.
He denied petition of Gertrude
Bowles asking appointment of a re-
ceiver for one-half the receipts OF
the association.
Asserting she had obeyed a
ninety-day notification of with
drawal provision of the company,
the petitioner alleged its officials
had refused to allow her to with
draw $4,326.
Action for receiver of savings
and loan association must be
brought either by the state banking
examiner or majority Of stock
holders and directors, Cox asserted.
1T is not possible for creditor to
get receiver appointed for so per
cent of the receipts of the associa-
ton" his ruling stated.
IF the bank commissioner and di-
rectors should fail to act" Cox
pointed out, action clearly would be
one of mandate to compel these
various entities to perform their
legal duty"

today at city hospital for removal

struck in the face with a polo stick

Jennings was a member of the

he would recover from effects of the
injury, but danger of infection
moved physicians to remove the eye,
it was said.
At the same time, physicians were
undecided whether to remove an
eye of Elvin McClaren, 81, of $500
Terrace avenue, who was injured
when rock either was thrown or
dropped through windshield of his

Unless McClaren'S condition i'm

TENURE BILL TO
BECOME LAW

posted With SeCre-
tary of State.

The controversial teacher tenure
bill, repeating tenure in townships
and joint school districts, but leav-
ing it in effect in cities and towns,
is scheduled to become law today
Although Governor Paul ". Nc
Mutt has not signed the measure, it
will be deposited with the secretary
of state by Wayne Coy, one of the
Governors secretaries. No explana-
ton of the Governors failure to sign
was made.
In addition to repeating tenure in
townships and other rural schools,
the bill sets 66 years as the maxi
mum age for retaining tenure
contract.
The present tenure law provides
that when teacher has been en-
ployed by a school corporation for
five or more years, he can be dis
missed only for immortality, inca
pacity or INSTRUMENTATION. and
then only after hearing at which
witnesses may be called and testi-
mony taken.
The new act is a compromise as
the bill originally introduced in the
senate provided for outright repeal
oftenure in all schools.

SLATE BLACKBOARD is
DOOMED TO EXTINCTION
Enameled Sheet Metal Substitute
Found More Practical.

BY Science SerUicS
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, March
4-Sheet metal blackboards, with a
vitreous porcelain enamel surface,
may replace slate in schoolrooms,
with the invention mere of a metal
blackboard declared to be one of
the most practical innovations since
slate boards were adopted in 1868.
Substitutes for slate board have
been sought for years. Etched
glass, fiber board, composition board
and painted wood have been among
substitutes suggested. The steel
blackboard was conceived by r. S.
Conrow, Middletown, O., and per-
fected for commercial production
in the laboratories of a school
equipment concern here.
Vitreous enamel is applied to in
got iron sheets in manufacture and
an acid bath used to remove the
sheen of the enamel. The paint is
applied under vibration to insure a
smooth surface.
