FINANCIAL ASPECT OF
AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENTS
r + + + + + i. + i. + + + + +

That the saddest thing about acci-
dents is the way in which they often
affect the victims entire future, shown
quite plainly in data and figures which
have come to the attention of 0. W.
Merrell, director of the Ohio depart
ment of highways.
On an average day in 1882, some
thing like 100000 persons were cared
for in hospitals throughout the United
States, while there were more than p
100000 persons disabled all the time.
Around 20,000,000 persons were sick
at one time or another last year, and
100000 were injured.
An auto accident, in addition to
causing death, injury or property dam
age, may also play havoc with the vic
TINS financial future. Hospital bills,
doctor bills and interrupted earning
power on the part of the breadwinner
result not infrequently in extreme pov-
erty for the entire family.
In this connection Highway Direc-
tor Merrell points out that if motor
lists would take into consideration the
fact that their whole financial future
may be jeopardized by an accident,
even if they escape without injury to
themselves, then they would not be
apt to forget that safe driving pays
good dividends in the long run.

SWindle Artist

The man whose name was not dis

dered a load of coal sent to resi-
dence which he said he had rented. He
gave the dealer check for 81 and
received 81 in cash in change. He said

delivered about o'clock.
The coal was delivered and after a
few days the check came back Just as

THERE is no doubt but that the
l. bidding in contract provides
and produces most of the thrills.
But what is the use Of good bid
ding unless it is combined with fine
play?
Again, if you find a pair that bids
a hand well, you must learn how
to defend it properly, or you have
but little chance of defeating this
pair.
Therefore, when on the defensive,
play no card until you have given
it some thought.
want to call your attention to
an interesting defensive play that
came up in the following hand:
South, the declarer, while holding
three tricks and a biddable heart
suit, should not open the bidding, as
there is no flexibility to the hand.
Possibly the best declaration for
this type Of hand would be no
trump, but the hand is not strong
enough to make an original no
trump bid in the constructive one
over one system.
After the pass, west opened the

4 AST'S opening lead was the six
Il of clubs, which West won with
the ace. West returned a small
club. which declarer won with the
king.
The king of spades was won by
West with the ace. He returned
the queen Of clubs, declarer trump
ing. The queen of spades picked up
East's jack.
In order to make game, de-
clarer can lose but one more trick.
If he can find the king of diamonds
and the king of hearts in the East
hand, it will be easy but the bid
ding indicates that West possibly
holds them.
However, the declarer led the six
of diamonds. A careless East player
would allow the contract to be
made.
You have heard an old auction
rule which says second hand plays
low" You must forget those auc-
ton tactics when playing contract,
and must stop to think before play
ing a card.
You know that the declarer still
has four trIlmps and three ether
cards. If you play small dia-
