North bids three diamonds, showing
the distribution of the hand. Now,
when South goes to three no
trump, North knows that the club
suit is not especially strong or
South would have got into no trump
earlier Therefore, North properly
carries the contract to four hearts.
WTEST opens the singleton nine
of diamonds. Declarer should
not allow the trick to ride to the
queen, since the nine is marked as
singleton and South can see that
he has a home for his losing dia-
mond on one Of dummys good
spades.
Therefore, the ace must be
played and the ace of spades
cashed immediately
The ten of spades is led over to
dummy and won with the jack.
The queen Of spades is played, and
the losing queen of diamonds is
discarded.
Of course, the declarer has sew
eral losing clubs, so an attempt
now must be made to ruff at least
one Of them. The queen of clubs
is played, East winning with the
king and now, regardless of what
East does, the contract is made.
The best defense, possibly, is to
return heart. South will go in
with the ten to retain the lead in
his own hand, and then will lead
a club, ruff1ng in dummy with the
ace of hearts.
The king of spades then should
be returned and, whether or not
East trumps with the king of
hearts, the declarer discards the

other losing trick is his remaining

Discovery Sho,os
Buffalo DtUarfed
BY Ancient Bison
Horns Weighing 500
Pounds Found by
Fossil Hunters.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BERKELEY, Calf, February 1s.-
Thanks to the citizens pick and shovel
brigades, which have replaced power
machinery to increase employment,
these are golden days for the paleon-
tologist.
Calling attention to the unprece-
dented number OF fossil finds which
have been reported in recent weeks
from many parts of the United States,
C. L. Camp, associate professor Of
paleontology at the University Of Cali
fornia, placed at the top of the list a
discovery made near Mount Shasta,
Calf.
1t is the skull of a prehistoric bison
which had horns estimated to weigh
500 pounds and measuring IL to 1212
feet from tip to tip. A greater portion
of the horns was in so good state
of preservation that there is virtually
no guesswork as to the tremendous
size of the ancient beast in compari-
son with which existing buffalos are
mere dwarfs.
Science is profiting, Prof. Camp
declares, not only from the large num-
Der of fossil discoveries, but also from
the intelligence of the workmen from
which the emergency crews are re-
cruited. This Is manifest, he points
out, by the number of instances in
which the fossil discovery is left un-
disturbed in its original position and
bedding until an interested scientist
can get on the Job and supervise its
removal
