 The king of hearts was then cashed, small club being discard ed from dummy, and East showed out, leaving West with the jack, nine and eight of hearts. Mrs Stahl still had the queen, ten, six and five of hearts, and 1t looked as though she might have to lose two heart tricks.
 However, she naxt played her jack of diamonds, West covered and the trick was won with durn- my's ace. The queen of diamonds was then played and small dia- mond led. Mrs Stahl trumping with the five of hearts.
 The six of clubs was played and won in dummy with the king. Dummy's king of spades was cashed and small spade led-declarer winning with the ace.
 Mrs Stahl then led the six of hearts, which West was forced to win with the eight. West then had to lead into Mrs Stahps ten-ace position, and Mrs Stahl had suc- cessfully made her contract of six odd by applying an end play.

Behind each earth born man from pole to pole There stands with queeny grace mothers soul; Elect of God she trcadS her humble way. Content give herself from day to day. From carly dawn she watches oc her brood Eager satisfy their every mood; For everyone she prays and dreams great dreams About each head for her. halo geams No common task is hers lightly taken, Never put down and never forsaken Till death, that friendly chur. doth give her rest And heaven and earth arise to call her blest.

In other words, don't double a contract unless you feel that you can set the declarer two tricks-s then if you do lose one of the tricks you are counting on. you are sure to set the contract. There is no such thing as a free double.
 However, don't become dis couraged if the declarer occasional ly makes contract which you have doubled, because if you al- ways set the declarer when you double, you are not doubling fre- quently enough. Take for instance the following hand-West Cannot be severely criticized for doubling the contract of six hearts, yet Mrs H. D.. Stahl, the former national women's champion, of Pittsburg, Pa, made six hearts doubled.
 The Bidding
 Mrs Stah1 in the South opened with one heart. North put in a jump overcall of three clubs which is not only game-demand bid, but is also a mild slam invitation. Mrs Stahl replied with three hearts.
 North felt that the only thing that her partner could have to jus tify re-bid in hearts was the ace of spades and a strong five or six card heart suit. North's next bid, therefore, was six hearts. which West doubled.

 When is it safe to make a pen alty double? don't believe 1t pays to do so unless you have more than one way of defeating the con- tract.
 For example, if the declarer bids for six odd and it looks as though you have two trump tricks, I don't believe that makes a safe double. You should have another possible trick in your hand

ing that it is impossible to reduce
its costs to comparable basis.
When attention is called to the
wide spread between generating
costs and sales prices as AmbaSsa-
dor Frederic M. Sackett did a few
years ago, high but unspecified dis
tribution costs invariably have been
given as the answer
Now Senator Edward P CoStigan
Dem, Colo). proposes that the
government shall penetrate this
clouded area and discover what lies
there.
He has laid a resolution before
the senate calling attention to the
fact that service companies keep
no record of distribution cost, that
the subject never has been discussed
before any engineering society that
technical literature does not deal
with it, and that only rarely has it
been considered in rate cases.
Since distribution cost is "a con-
siderable if not a controlling factor
in the cost of rural and domestic
electric service" Senator Costigan
requests that the federal power
commission furnish the senate with
report summarizing all available
information on the subject, and in
dicating the cost of electrical dis
tribution in cents per kilowatt hour
under varying service conditions, in
a form comparable with generating
and transmission costs.

So he strides across his wide Of

This, too, is refreshing, but now
