The Play

Mr.. Stong opened with his fourth
best Spade-the four The ten was
played from the East hand, and
Mrs. Clark won the trick with the
ace.
Stopping a moment to count up
her hand, she found that she had
four sure heart tricks, two spade
tricks, two aces; but this was only
eight, one trick short of her con-
tract.
OF course, she could take two
illnesses, and if she found either one
Of them right, her contract was
made. However, both kings might
lie on the wrong side, and if they
did her contract would lose.
Therefore. Mrs. Clark decided not
to take the doubtful illnesses, but to
run off her four good heart tricks.
On the fourth heart, she discarded
the deuce Of diamonds from dummy
Stong in the West followed with
two hearts ard then discarded the
seven Of diamonds and the eight Of
clubs.
Mrs. Clark's next play was a
small spade, which she won In
dummy with the king, noting the
drop Of the three Of spades from
the West hand, which marked
Stong with five spades. originally.
Mrs. Clark now returned the six of
spades from dummy, playing the
nine from her own hand, throwing
her son-in-law in the lead
Stong now caShed his two
good spades, upon which Mrs. Clark
discarded the eight of diamonds
and the nine Of clubs, leaving her
with the ace and queen of dia-
monds, and the ace and queen of
clubs.
Stong held the king and four
Of diamonds and the king and jack
of clubs.
Stong now was forced to lead
directly into Mrs. Clark's tenace
positions and, of course, the lead
Of either club or a diamond gives
Mrs. Clark her contract of three no
trump.
Do not take what might prove to
be losing fineSSe, if there is a
safer way to play the hand.

plays contract bridge. She makes
an ideal fourth to fill up a table, as
it is a known fact that she adheres

At least this is how it works out
in the StOrg family at Knoxville,
Tenn, where Mrs. Harold Clark,
mother of Mrs. Benton J. Stong,
plays an exceptionally good hand of
bridge.
On my way to st. Petersburg I
had the pleasure of stopping off at
Knoxville and enjoying an evening
of bridge with these Knoxville folk,
and the following interesting hand
came up.

ST didn't mean to shock you like

That's why he didn't introduce you.

dNS0-Ghosts of 322 prisoners
who were burned to death in the
Ohio Penitentiary fire on Easter
Monday Of 1880 were riding away
today with Clinton Crate, 33, one
of the three convicts blamed for
the disaster.
Harried by the maddening
scenes of scorching bodies, screams
of terror, and fellow-prisoners
trapped within billows of suffo-
eating smoke, Crate sought escape
at dawn yesterday by hanging
himself in his cell.
Crate, who split the kindling
used in setting off the tragic
blaze, took his life by hanging
himself from a bar across the
ceiling with a rope fashioned from
torn strip of bed sheeting.
Crates suicide was the second

for starting the horrible peniten-
tiary fire. Four months to the

AUTO ANALYZER
DOES Bis JOB

Considerable interest has been
aroused among motorists by the
Weidenhoff Motor Analyzer in
stalled at Creel Bros, Of 1911
Fourteenth st. N. w.
This motor analyzer through 38
major tests with the motor run
ming reveals the exact perform.
ance of a motor car on the road.
It checks the motor, battery, gen.
orator, starter, startix, horn,
lights ignition cable, spark plugs,
coil, condenser, distributor, carbu-
reter and other points that govern
performance.
It was pointed out that the au-
tomobile power plant has under
gone many changes in design In
the last five years. The previous
type Of engine dow compression
required nothing more than a
practical mechanic to keep it run
ming. However, engines now in
general use are known as the high
speed, high compression type
which requires trained specialists
working with specially designed
equipment to keep these engines
in perfect running order.
Said an official Of the firm:
when properly serviced the
remarkable efficiency Of the
high compression engine can
be maintained like new through
the normal life Of the car. The
modern high compression motor

mentl requires service Of a high
