Apart More Than so Years,
Brother Hunts For Sister

Nearly 80 years ago there was
born at Georgetown University
Hospital an infant who was
christened Elizabeth Langdon.
About three years later a
brother of Elizabeth was born
at the same hospital and he was
named Hugh.
But during those three years
fate had interviewed. Elizabeth
was taken away by a lonesome
couple to be reared in Boston.
Hugh was reared by his grand
parents and grew to manhood in
Washington.
Veteran Of World War
Now Hugh Langdon, World
War veteran, $500 block Twenty
sixth st. N. E., is seeking to be
reunited with his sister whom
he has never seen.
He is Sc, an interior marble
setter, and the years have not
been particularly kind to him.
He has been sick and the arduous
nature Of his trade has left its
mark.
Langdon's wife explained today

of the court of Middlesex county

had been adopted by James T,
and Harriet Smith, Boston, in
1888.
Wife Pushes Quest
It is not known by the Lang
don's whether Elizabeth is living.
whether she is married, or where
she may be living.
Mrs. Langdon said:
"My husband is getting along
in years and like most of us
when we grow older we become
a little more sentimental. Now
he says he won't be happy
until he sees his sister. He has
never heard from her. So, after
more than half a century, it
surely would be grand if the
two could meet"
Mrs. Langdon said she will con-
tinue her efforts through Massa-
chuSetts authorities and by means
of radio and newspapers to find
Elizabeth.

DENIED WIDOW
ORSTNGER.

Mrs. Lille Ryon, Of the $500
block of Eleventh st. N. w.,
recently retired, after 80 years
in the Federal service, COM
planned to Uncle Sam that she
had received no retirement pay
since August.
She is a widow with two un-
employed sons, and had to Dor
row money to prevent eviction
when the retirement pay did not
come through.
Federal officials informed her
that they had not deducted $49.79
from her pay previously, and
that this had to be made up
before the retirement pay would
continue. Also, there was some
delay in getting checks out be,
cause of reduction in personnel.

POLICE To BACK
BOYS CLUBS

Magazines, books and athletic
equipment have been promised
for the establishment of boys
clubs in police precinct stations
of the city, if the public provides
sufficient funds for financial
support of the proposal, it has

Police.
In the first of the clubs, inau-
gurated in the Fourth precinct
station at Fifth and D Streets
Northwest, there is already a
new radio donated by an anony-
nous citizen. The police depart
ment lacks funds to carry the
venture further, Major Brown
states, and hence future success
will depend upon public con-
tributions.

three spades and South, with only
two aces, will bid three no trump.
There should be no question in
North's mind but that his partner
holds the two missing aces. As his
partner has re-bid, North definitely
knows that South did not open
with psychic.
South, in his original bid, prom
Used no weak doubletons and no
singletons, therefore North knows
that his partner holds at least the
ace and one spade, that he holds
at least the queen and one heart
or four small hearts. He would
then have the king of diamonds
and the ace and king of clubs to
justify his original bid of one no
trump.
Counting that up would make
seven spade tricks, two heart
tricks, two diamond tricks and two
club tricks-13 in all.
What is the danger of the hand ?
Holding seven spades and a singles
ton, North can expect to find n
freak distribution in the other two
hands. The real danger of the hand
is that If it played at spades
East may open a heart and West
might trump. Therefore, the safety
of the hand is at no trump and
not at spades. and North's next
bid should be seven no trump.
Just because you have a long
suit, 1t does not necessarily mean
that the contract should be played
in that suit. Stop and reason out
the safety of the hand before max
ing your next bid.
