West opens the four spot, his
fourth best. Apply the rule Of eleven,
four from eleven leaves seven. There
are three in the dummy, and as East,
the partner of the original leader,
holds four, he knows that the declar.
er holds no card higher than the four
spot.
Therefore, II the declarer plays the
six from dummy, East's seven spot
will hold the trick. Likewise, II the
declarer plays the ten, East viii win
the trick with the Jack: II the de-
clarer plays the queen. East will win
with the ace.
Supposing the declarer played the
six, the seven now holds the trick.
East should return the ace, and then
the jack, unlocking the suit 50 that
his partner can make the fifth card
of that suit. II East were to return
the five spot, West would be forced
to win with the king; then when West
returned the suit East would have It

HiCk Town Brand Is Put
on New System by +,
Letter Writer.

With scores of ballots received to-
day by The Times from Indianapo-
lis motorists and pedestrians who
are voting on the city's new down.
town traffic system, not one vote
could be found for the new plan of
traffic direction.
Every vote received today was a
demand for the return of the old
Semaphore system, instead of the
new plan in which the policemen
move traffic by whistles only.
Several of the voters, using the
ballots printed in The Times. added
letters to their votes. A typical
note read:
I enclose herewith my vote on
traffic semaphores. Apropos of this
type of traffic control equipment
being used only in hick towns, the
use of such equipment in Washing
ton, D. c., provides an interesting
comparison.
In that village, on some inter-
sections traffic control officers are
supplied not only with a Semaphore,
but platform with a railing and
umbrella. It is evident that that
town at least is more interested in
efficient traffic control at certain
congested intersections than the
or posture of the Off
GER"
The new plan was put into effect
by the safety board at the request
of Traffic Captain Louis johnson,
who claimed traffic policemen were
using the semaphores as leaning
posts and that the system was
"hick town plan away.
Protests have been received all
over the city. charging that the
new system has slowed up traffic
and that motorists are forced to
come to a stop at every corner and
to peer about for a glimpse of the
policeman to learn whether to go
or stop.
The Times is giving every citizen
a chance to vote on the question.
Today's ballot is on Page 90 Clip
it out and send it to the Signal
Tower. The Times.
Another note accompanying
vote today said:
I certainly fail to see any adj
vantage. Why We all are educated
to go or stop with red and green
signs and suddenly have them re-
moved and something else foisted
on bewildered public is more than
most of us can understand.
