Shirley Fulton in charge. Assisting her were Mrs A. J. Blakesley, Miss Annie North, Mrs George E. Cow perthwaite, Mrs Henry L. Griggs and Miss Elizabeth Fulton.
 An exhibition of the garments was held in the basement hall all day. An exhibit will open to-day in the former Steinert store on West Main street, near Leaven- worth.
 The Mother Superior of St Marys hospital, Miss Florence Whipple of the Visiting Nurse asso- citation, Mrs George T. Jackson of the Anti-Tuberculosis association, Miss Nina Brown of Waterbury hospital and Mrs Mary Doyle Camp of Lincoln House each told of the use in her organization to which the Needlework Guild garments are put. Many interesting cases were cited.
 Miss Greer brought with her sev- eral things made by the Labrador people with whom she spent the summer. They were gifts to her in appreciation of the work she did as a nurse in the little hospital on the IdDTduOT COdSl. I1cl ISpoiI WoS colorful, bringing the people of that far away country clearly to the group in the club auditorium. She was stationed at St Mary's river hospital and her duties there included social service, industrial work. occupational therapy, public health as well as nursing. She came home on freighter.
 Miss Greer paid high tribute to Sir Wilfred Grenfell and the work being done in his mission.
 An interesting feature of the Grenfell work is that clothing is not given away except in cases of extreme need. Every effort is made to preserve self respect and avoid pauperizing and Sir Wilfred insists that something be given in ex- change, if 1t is only a fish, some berries or an egg for hospital pa- tients. The children delight in picking berries with the thought of earning an extra pair of stockings.
 Miss Greer said that the stocks on the shelves were badly depleted when she left Labrador this fall. For two years the fishery, the sum- mer industry, has failed and the men have not enough to buy win- ter supplies. She expressed @ won- der of what must happen to make these fisher folk for generations realize that their only hope of sal- vation lies in cattle raising and farming.

Solution to Previous Contract
 Problem Mathematics has big part In the play of q hand. But I am not inclined to favor 1t except when there is no better way to arrive at my deductions. The bidding or the drop of the cards can be counted on far better than can mathemat- ics.
 The trouble with mathematics is that, while you may win on q certain play 60 per cent of the time, you do not know whether YOU hold one of the 60 per cent or one of tho 40 per cent hands, and you try to gamble with the result that you lose In the major ity of times. To-day's hand is 6 good example. however, of the value of mathe- matics in contract.

WILL ROGERS IS WORLDS
 MOST NATURAL MORIST

There is ono thing impossible, even 10 tho modern miracle work CTS of tho picture studios who re- create lost worlds, part seas, rage mountains and destroy cities. It Is impossible to remain sombre on a film that has Will Rogers In the cast. He Is just that kind of a fel- low.
 Far from being q wise-cracker Rogers keeps everyone laughing because he instnctively gets a hum orous slant on everything from the news of the day to the humdrum routine of work. lt isn't so much what he says, although that is plenty, but the way he says 1t. Pa DOT and print can't reproduce the nor of the Rogers grin.
 He was in particularly good form on the sets where he worked with Janet Gaynor, Lew Ayers, Sally Pliers. Norman Foster. Louise Dresser, Franl; Craven and Victor Jory on Fox Films all-star pro- ductlon state Fair.". It Is all be- cause he was unusually satisfied with the picture and the role he plays in IL.
 He wore overalls and rough blue shirts. lIe puttored around farm yard, and he had the time of his life doing scenes with Blue Boy. the 9o0-pound prize hog of the picture.
 Humor Is Natural
 On his first meeting with the giant pig, Rogers was properly im- pressed. "So you're Blue Boy, he unused. "You're certainly some hog. When it comes to pork, there's nothing like you even back at

The Bidding

South bid one diamond and North one heart, a ono over one force. South replied with ono spade another ono over ono forcC North's next bid was two clubs.
 To the uninltiated these might sound like dcnials, but the one over one system does not usc weak take outs and each of the above bids shows new high card, or distrlbu- tional, values.
 At this point four constructive bids have been made and both partners know that the bidding will not stop short of game,
 South now bid two diamonds and North two hearts-oach one thcrc- by guaranteeing a ilvo card suit.
 South's next bid of two spades was most Illuminating for 1t gave an accurate count of his distrbu- ton.
 The spades must be at least five cards to be roblddablc, and the dia- mond suit, having beon bid ilrSt, must therefore contain six cards This left only two clubs or hearts,
 Tho bidding proceoded-Nortli h three diamonds, South four clubs, North four hearts, and at this point each partner cnn count practically each card In tho other hand.
 North's three diamond bid showed at least three of that suit and South's assist In clubs showed that hls two unidentified cards must both bo clubs. Furthermore, he certainly would not assist tho suit on two small, and therefore he must have tho king and one.
 south now knew that North can count him void of hearts, 50 North s third rebId of that suit must indI- cate a holding as good as six to the acc king; therefore South could positively count in tho North hand six hearts headed by the acc king
