WATERVMLE TO BUILD FENCE
 AS WIND BREAKER
Huntingdon Avenue to Get Protection Benefit
 Card Party Success

As the result of complaints en- tered by several residents of the Fairmount section of Waterville. tho street department is completing plans for tho erection of a board fence along the north side of Hunt ingdon avenue. between the bridges over Hancock brook and the NauR- n tuck river. During indictment and extremely cold weather tho blasts of wind from the north, sweeping down the river bed are most un- comfortable. particularly to the scores of Falrmount children who use the street not less than four times daily enroute to Sprague grammar school. There have been occasions this winter when there has been danger of children being swept from their feet, so strong was the wind.
 An estimate of expenses Is now being prepared and if tho cost is not too high, the fence will be con tsructed immediately.
 Benefit q Success
 A large crowd attended the ben eft card party and dance given by employees of the Plumbers Brass Goods division of tho Scovill Mfg Co ut Doolittle Alley hall last night.

Federal Agents Mobilizing For
 State Cleanup
Waterbury as Usual Expected to Bear Brunt of Plan- ned Offensive-atest Hits Marked By Attacks on Agents Bridgeport Incident Recalled

city and town in the state, which boasts of one or more rcfrcshment stands.
 The quiet mobilization of agents from Rhode Island and Massachu- setts, presages but one thing, concentrated drive on some city or cities in various parts of the state. AS Waterbury has always held high place in the "affec- tons of the dry agents this little community will not be overlooked.
 Events within the past few days indicate that the agents are very active and arc figuring in some un- usual incidents. In New Haven they cleaned out one place taking chairs, tables and even a radio to broadcast their hit" Down in Bridgeport in attacking the man. ager of the Mohawk A. C. one agent was slugged in the mouth with the butt end of q gun. At the same time another agent duckcd his head and q bottle of evidence crashed against the wall. The belligerent manager, one Edward r. Hickey. was placed under arrest and Is at liberty under bonds Of $3,500. He faces not only charges of violating the liquor law, but possible arraigDment on the more serious complaint of having gun in his possession. The charge may be 50 worded as to include ob- struction of a federal officer in the official discharge of his duties.
 The boys around town are mak- ing little bets that Deputy Prohi- bition Administrator Robert Sen gle, whose official head is to be chopped off when tho "neW dcal' becomes operative, will deliver his yaledictory in Waterbury. on one occasion he has sent more than 40 agents here in one day. Ills fare well salute may be one for the well known book for future refer ences.
 MT Sengle's activities have been so persistent that his removal from Connecticut may be pleasing news to many. A number of letters have been sent to Washington, so 1t is reported, suggesting change of scenery for the lawyer-admin- lstrator. Changes in the squad of dry agents are also anticipated. A curtailment of appropriations is expected to cause reduction in the number of agents. The action of the V. s. Senate yesterday favoring q repeal of the 18th amendment is expected to bo followed by q number of psycho- logical effects in the observance or enforcement of the liquor laws.

and South knows now that East has no more diamonds. However, he should not win this diamond trick. Before playing to the trick, liet us count up the hand.
 If the club illnesses fails, the de- clarer can still win four club tricks he has a sure diamond tricks, a heart trick and two spade tricks eight in all. Unless he can guess which way to take the spade finesse be will lose his contract.
 Why not let East hold the trick in the hope that he will make a lead which will be to your ad- vantage? Certainly if he leads a spade there will be no necessity of taking a finesse. If the club is played declarer can take the club f1nesse at once and probably work out a squeeze.
 East's correct return is the three of hearts. Declarer must go right up with his ace of hearts. He can now play a small spade and win with dummy's king, leading the jack of clubs and taking the finesse which West wins with the king.
 West will return his queen of diamonds to establish the suit. By clarer still has control of the suit and wins the tricks with the ace.
 Declarer then runs off his clubs. and on the fourth club West Is squeezed. West Is forced to dis card everything but the king of hearts and his queen and one. spade.> As West was previously marked with the king of hearts, all the declarer has to do is to lead his nine of hearts and throw West in the lead with the king.
 West is then forced to lead a spade, and again we find the hold up being employed to assist the declarer to make his contract.

BRIDGE

 This is the third article explain ing the hold-up at no trump. To- day we find the declarer employ ing the hold-up, not because he is afraid of the suit opened, as in the two previous articles, but be- cause he wishes to keep his ap- ponents in the lead.
 The Bidding.
 Most players would open the South hand with a bid of one no trump due to the 150 aces. The writer is inclined to open the hand with one club in an endeavor to throw the no trump play into part ner's hand, as I feel this type of hand can better be dummy if the hand is to be played at no trump.
 However, in order to explain the hold-up, in this case South bids one no trump. North, with the king and queen, would un- doubtedly go to two no trump, and South would then bid three no trump.
 The Play.
 West has two four-card suits. Unfortunately the fourth best in either is the deuce, immediately disclosing to the declarer the fact that you hold only four cards of that suit.
 Usually when there is a choice between major and minor suit of equal length it is preferable to open with the major. However. the spade suit is extremely weak and to open it might give the declarer an extra trick; therefore it looks as though the safest open ing is the deuce of diamonds.
 A small diamond is played from
